Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2314 Seven Volumes 14 Belated Consolation ([-] words completed)

That night, the emperor took Wanxi and Concubine Shu back to Yuanmingyuan.

The emperor gave Wanxi a meal with Concubine Shu, but Wanxi resigned.She was thinking about Concubine Chun, knowing that she was going to Yong Rong's mansion today, Concubine Chun must be waiting to hear what she had to say.

Concubine Shu stood up and saluted respectfully and sent it all the way to the door.

In the corridor outside the door, Concubine Shu saw that there was no one around, so she couldn't help calling Wanxi to stop.

"Concubine Ling, you are so generous, you don't worry about leaving me here alone with the emperor? Don't you worry that I will accompany the emperor to drink and eat later, so I used a method to let the emperor leave me tonight? "

Wanxi smiled lightly, and said playfully, "If you have the ability, then it's up to you. I'll wait for the news tomorrow morning to see if you really stayed tonight."
.
Wanxi's silence made Concubine Shu's cheeks blush.

Concubine Shu turned her head and spat, "Bah! I don't want to show you jokes. Pull it down, and I won't play with you anymore."

As the setting sun turns, the afterglow is reddish, and when it falls on the human face, it is like a layer of rouge has been applied.

Looking at Concubine Shu like this, Wanxi couldn't help smiling, "...Actually, I kind of miss the Galaha back then."

When I was young and wanted to play with Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu didn't want to see her; now that I'm older, I can see through many of the world's sophistication, and Concubine Shu is finally willing to play with her— —But looking back, it has been so many years.

Concubine Shu also felt a little melancholy, so she sighed softly, "Forget it. Galaha is naturally good, so I just ask the dining room to keep it; if it is not good, I will take half a sling of copper coins and ask the servant Sura to come Go outside and buy it, I have ready-made ones."

"It's just that we're all old. Even if we still have Galaha in our hands, are we really going to have the nerve to play?"

Wanxi stared at Concubine Shu with a smile, but said nothing.

Concubine Shu was a little embarrassed, she turned her head away, "Why are you looking at me like this? Why, do you think you're pinching me for something?"

Wanxi smiled and shook her head lightly, "Your current seven inches were all installed by me—that's Yongxuan."

"Since I installed it for you, I will be sure about it."

Concubine Shu couldn't hold back even more, coughed lightly, "Aren't you in a hurry to see Concubine Chun, why don't you leave?"

Wanxi smiled too, and stretched out her hand to gently hold Concubine Shu's hand, "Galaha will be gone when it's gone, and these 20 years will pass. It doesn't matter; what matters is that both of us love Yong Xing; they are all willing to protect Yong Xing with the heart of a mother."

Concubine Shu finally restrained the blush on her face, she raised her eyes slightly to stare at Wanxi, those eyes were black and white, extremely firm.

"You and I are the ones who have lost the prince before, and you and I both understand that the current battles in the palace are all about the children. I must protect Yongxuan now, and I can't cry anymore. An accident happened to Yongxing; as long as you help me, I will definitely live up to you!"
.
"Jiuzhou Qingyan" and "Heaven and Earth Family Spring" are really close, they are next to each other, as if they are Yongshou Palace and Yangxin Palace again.

Wanxi didn't want a sedan chair either, so she took Yuchan's hand and walked back step by step.

Yurui was waiting outside the door, Yuchan stepped forward to greet Yurui, and stepped aside.Yurui came to help Wanxi walk back.

Yu Rui reported softly, "...After the queen moved to the 'Changchun Immortal Pavilion', she really couldn't live in a stable place. So she took the initiative to say that she was going to perform the mulberry ceremony again, and she fasted three days ago. Today, she will go back to the silkworm altar to salute. gone."

On March 21th, Nala's family began to fast; on March [-]st, they saluted. Therefore, she was not able to go with the emperor for the funeral ceremony of Princess Hewan and the arrival of Yongrong's mansion, but stayed in Beihai alone. The first silkworm altar.

Wanxi also nodded, "Silkworm and Gongsang are separated, which means that this year, the mulberry leaves are born later than in previous years."

Although spring returns in March and everything recovers, the revival of vitality will always come sooner or later.This March, the royal family had a lot of life and death events. I am afraid that Mulberry Ye also sensed the sadness, so it was later than in previous years, right?
Yurui quietly glanced at Wanxi, "...I just saw that my sister seemed to have been talking to Concubine Shu for a long time. Today, sister and Concubine Shu are walking together, she didn't make things difficult for her, did she?"

After all, Wanxi is pregnant with a child and her fetal gas is not yet stable. If Concubine Shu is still harboring evil intentions like before, then Wanxi's journey along the way will be quite dangerous.Yu Rui was a little worried.

Wanxi nodded with a smile, "Sometimes I feel that the title given to the harem by the emperor is really good. Just like Concubine Shu, the word 'shu' always reminds me of 'breathing a sigh of relief'."

Yu Rui was so thoughtful that she understood, and she smiled softly, "Shu, it's slow. Concubine Shu, as a descendant of the minister of Ye He's tribe, has a noble status, and she was naturally proud when she was young; With the empress dowager supporting her, she has never taken you seriously."

"But fortunately, 20 years have passed, I have fought and fought, I have seen life and death, and I am finally willing to let go of my grievances with my sister and join hands together. Therefore, although this breath is indeed a bit slow, I will use it It’s been a long 20 years; but anyway, it’s finally here.”

Wanxi also sighed softly, "What you said is true. The war in the harem has been ignited again at this time. One more ally means one less enemy."
.
Wanxi understands too well that because she is in the palace, her mother's family can't help her; even if she is protected by the emperor, but in terms of the two lost children last year and this year, there are always times when the emperor can't take care of her. .

She must not do it alone if she is to protect herself and her children.

But at this time, the sisters with her are all Han women like Yuqin and Wanbi; there is a concubine Ying, who is only from the Eight Banners Mongolia after all, and there is no Gege from a Manchurian family around her.

I can't complain that she is always said to be the leader of the Hannv faction in the harem. Such a position will only arouse the resentment of the former clan king and the empress dowager in the harem.

Therefore, it would be a wise move to turn wars into friendships with Gege who were born in Manchurian families.What's more, it is the emperor's wish that the world be unified and the families of the Han and Han should be unified.

It was already back to "Heaven and Earth Family Spring", Wanxi nodded, and went straight to the backyard to visit Concubine Chun.
.
Because her son and daughter had already left the palace to get married, Concubine Chun was lying alone in the palace, making her look even more lonely.

Her bedroom is the back room of "Heaven, Earth, Family Spring", the eaves are lower than the main hall and the back hall, so the setting sun can still shine into the back hall at this moment; but it can't shine into the back room anymore.

Concubine Chun was trapped in the darkness of the twilight, her entire face was dark, which was no different from her current body condition.

Concubine Yu was ordered to take care of Concubine Chun, and when she saw Wanxi coming, she hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Wanxi nodded, "Concubine Yu doesn't need to be too polite, just sit down too."

Concubine Chun grabbed Wanxi's hand, anxious to ask about Yong Rong's mansion.

Wanxi picked the ones that were convenient, and euphemistically told Concubine Chun one by one.

Concubine Chun sighed softly, "You are right... What I am most worried about right now is how Yongrong should treat the old Fujins and side Fujins of King Shenjun. Although it is inherited from King Shenjun, but After all, it is someone else's house, and the people who use it from top to bottom all belong to him."

"Everything in the family has always been decided by the old Fujins. Yong Rong has just moved here, and it is inevitable that he will be hindered by big and small things. If he can't handle it well, others will criticize him."

Wanxi smiled and nodded, "Fuhui's child is a lady from a famous family, and she has been the director of the family since she was a child; although it is not a prince's family, but what kind of ostentation has never been seen in their Fu family? Fuhui is in Shenjun Wangfu. It's very suitable, it will definitely help Yong Rong. Sister Chun, don't worry."

The corners of Concubine Chun's lips twitched, she still had a lot to say, but she raised her eyes to Concubine Yu.

Wanxi knew that it would be inconvenient for Concubine Chun to have Concubine Yu here.Wanxi then said with a smile, "Old Fujin and Cian Fujin of King Shenjun also paid respects to Sister Chun. Knowing that Sister Chun is weak, I bought a few boxes of good nourishing things."

"The old Fujin and the side Fujin of King Shenjun are our elders. We can't neglect these things. I don't feel relieved to hand them over to the servants. I have to trouble you, concubine Yu, to put them away for Sister Chun."

Concubine Yu quickly got up and took it with both hands.

Concubine Chun gave Manliu a wink, and Manliu also came forward with a smile and saluted, "This servant is serving Concubine Yu's master."

Concubine Yu went out with Man Liu, Qiao Rong followed to the door, after making sure that there was no one around, she turned back and nodded to Concubine Chun.

Concubine Chun stretched out her hand to Wanxi, wanting to grab Wanxi's hand.

However, she still withdrew her hand.

Wanxi sat down and reached out to shake Concubine Chun's hand.Concubine Chun hurriedly moved her hand away, and said anxiously, "It's absolutely impossible!"
.
Seeing Concubine Chun like this, Wanxi also understood.

Perhaps Concubine Chun has a good idea of ​​how she can let her sickness go to others.

Wanxi lowered her head and smiled hard, "Since Concubine Yu is fine, I'm fine if I think about it. Adults are different from children, and their ability to resist diseases is ten times stronger. Don't worry, sister."

Concubine Chun shook her head, "I don't want to implicate you."

"As for her...I just hope that something happens to her! Tell her to be like me early!"

"But she is good. She was so prepared that she even brought the teacup and spittoon with her. She never touched the ones in my palace. She usually just sits with me three or five feet away and takes care of my affairs. She didn't do it herself at all."

"If someone else came, she reluctantly supported it. Even if they touched me, they would be padded with sleeves quietly, and they would not touch me directly!"

Wanxi also squinted her eyes, "According to this, she and Sister Chun are indeed separated."

Concubine Chun sneered weakly, "No, it's not just birth, she also resents me. Now she naturally wishes for my early death."

Wanxi was stunned, "Sister Chun, what you said is..."

Concubine Chun smiled sadly, "How did you forget that she was originally a nobleman in my Zhongcui Palace? The girl in armor in Nanyuan Haizi has the lowest status from the hidden mansion to the Jinfeng; She was born as a girl, but she was overwhelmed many times earlier by the imperial concubine Huixian and the imperial concubine Shujia who were born maidservants."

"She followed me from Qiandi to Jinfeng. She lowered her eyebrows and was obedient and obedient. I gradually became less defensive towards her, and I was even willing to say some things to her."

"In those years, my situation was actually not comfortable. Empress Xiaoxian used my identity as a Han girl to fight against the concubine Xian at that time and the queen now; She is a Han girl who gave birth to a prince. Concubine Xian has given me little shoes to wear in those years, and from time to time she will gossip in front of the empress dowager. I have no choice but to rely on Empress Xiaoxian and act as a pawn for others."

"I don't have anyone to talk about those grievances, so I talked to her more or less. I thought she was a sulky gourd and sensible, but she was a scheming person who told me everything I said. Make it clear."

"In the fourth year of Qianlong, my mother's family was ordered to enter the banner, and I had to take care of everything in the palace; and the concubine at that time gave birth to the fourth son of the emperor, Yongxuan, and the concubine was imminent. The layout of the harem suddenly changed. It's a bit messy, I'm worried that I'll fall out of favor, so I'm fighting more fiercely with Shujia and Concubine Xian."

"But I didn't expect... I guarded against outsiders, but I failed to guard against people in my own palace. She actually took the initiative to pledge her allegiance to Empress Xiaoxian, and used what I said to her in the past as the capital to invite pets, to say Give it to Empress Xiaoxian!"

"At that time, Empress Xiaoxian had just lost Yonglian. Eldest elder brother's empress, Concubine Zhemin, was no longer alive, so the eyes of everyone in the harem were naturally fixed on my Yongzhang. Although Empress Xiaoxian used I am wary of Concubine Xian, but she is also wary of our mother and son, and she is happy to have Concubine Yu watching over me."

"Therefore, she gave Concubine Yu a chance to be favored and get Yong Qi to go... Afterwards, she asked me to keep it a secret with her so that Concubine Yu could give birth to Yong Qi smoothly."

Concubine Chun said with tears in her eyes.

"Afterwards, people outside said that I used the nobles in my palace to invite and hold favors, and I recommended her to the emperor... Wanxi, tell me, if I really want to recommend her, why don't you recommend her? More loyal officials and ladies? I have to rely on Empress Xiaoxian for everything because of Concubine Xian's oppression; and the words I once said to Concubine Yu have also become my excuses, so I have misery to say, so I have to accepted."

Concubine Chun was so excited that she spit out another mouthful of blood.

Wanxi hurriedly got up and wanted to support her.

Concubine Chun carefully avoided Wanxi's hand.

Wanxi felt even more uncomfortable in her heart, she couldn't help crying, "Sister Chun... It's all happened many years ago, so don't talk about it anymore. At this moment, the most important thing is to take care of your body."

Pure noble concubine looked at Wanxi pale and silently, and tried to smile, "I'm afraid, if I don't say it now, I won't have the chance to say it in the future. After all, you must have something in mind - as the saying goes, bite People's dogs don't bark, so don't be harmed by those honest people."

"I can't help you at this moment, I just... can remind you of these two sentences. You must be sure to remember."
.
After speaking these words with Concubine Chun, Concubine Chun's condition worsened that night.I heard from Qiao Rong that she vomited more blood this time...

The emperor personally brought a number of imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital, but Wanxi was blocked by the emperor's decree because she was pregnant.

In the middle of the night, the emperor came back. Before entering the door, he carefully scalded his hands with hot water outside and fumigated his clothes with fragrant medicine before entering.

Looking at the emperor's face, Wanxi knew it was not good.Wanxi drooped her eyes with tears in her eyes, "...how could this be? The marriage between Nianhua and Yongrong was completed within three days. The two children are all happy for their mother and concubine, how can they be pure sisters?" Is your body still not improving?"

The emperor also sighed and sat down, "It's been too long. According to the pulse record, she began to vomit blood since September [-]th last year... The imperial physicians also said that it has been six months and it is not easy gone."

Tears welled up in Wanxi's eyelashes, "September [-]th...what a coincidence."

The emperor also understood, and nodded sadly, "Yes, it's the whole month after Grandpa's longevity. I think in August last year, she specially took Yongzhang to the Summer Resort to celebrate Grandpa's birthday. It's not that Grandpa doesn't understand her intentions. Because she knew that her health was not good, she wanted to beg the Lord to take back what she said to Yongzhang; at least she wouldn't ask Yongrong to succeed her..."

"But the master didn't agree to her, and told her to get sicker in the summer resort, and a month later, she vomited blood."

Wanxi was also sad to hear that, and couldn't help sobbing, "Master even made an official decree in December to call Yong Rong to be the successor...Master is too cruel."

The emperor stretched out his hand and took Wanxi's hand, "Yes, I know that I am indeed a bit cruel when it comes to dealing with Concubine Chun, Yongzhang, and Yongrong. It's just that I have to do that."

Wanxi lowered her eyes, her heart ached too—after all, there was nothing wrong with Yongzhang and Yongrong. The only weakness was that he was the son of a Han woman, half of whom was blood of Han people!
As the two princes grew up, and the birth mother held the high position of imperial concubine, second only to the empress, this must have disturbed the former Manchu relatives and noble ministers.So the emperor needs to make a clear statement, that's why the emperor reprimanded the 13-year-old third elder brother so "inexplicably" and deprived the right of inheritance; now he "inexplicably" succeeds the prince.

Because the blood of the Han people is also flowing, Wanxi can understand the pain and unwillingness of the pure imperial concubine best.Therefore, at this moment, she felt so sorry for Concubine Chun that she couldn't stop crying.

"My Lord really wronged Sister Chun... As a Han girl, she struggled in the harem of the Qing Dynasty; but she also accompanied the emperor for 30 years, and gave birth to two princes and a princess for the emperor. Lord, you can't tell her to leave with such hatred..."

The emperor took a deep breath and held Wanxi's hand.

"I know. Her body has reached such a point, there is only one thing left for her."
.
Three days later, that is, on March 24, the emperor decreed that Concubine Chun was named Huangguifei.

The decree said: "According to the order of the Empress Dowager, the pure noble concubine has been registered for a long time, restrained from internal governance, respectful, respectful and cautious, and Yu Ruijiao. Now the prince and princess have all celebrated their auspicious celebrations. They should be promoted as imperial concubine, With Zhao Lingfan, I admire this. All the ceremonies that should be performed will be held in their respective yamen as usual."
.
On the day when the decree was obtained, everyone gathered at "One Family of Heaven and Earth" to congratulate the imperial concubine Su Wanju.

It's just because the imperial concubine Su Wanrou's health is really bad, so she only thanks the harem through the green gauze cabinet.Everyone then dispersed.

Wanxi stayed because they lived together, and said with a smile, "Sister Su has now been conferred the imperial concubine, and she should live in the apse of 'Heaven and Earth Family Spring'. I have already started to tidy up here, and when my sister is better, I will move away." Shall we go?"

The imperial concubine Su Wanrou only wanted to be in front of Wanxi, and she no longer tried to hide her sadness.

"I don't want to hide it from you. I have dreamed of being an imperial concubine for many years. Ever since the imperial concubine Huixian was named an imperial concubine, I have thought that Han women can also be named imperial concubines; Shujia is also chasing the imperial concubine, so I am determined to win this position."

"When we became mothers, we used to do it for favor; later, we wanted this position, but it was actually for our children... But look, I made the imperial concubine right now, and then I still have a relationship with me." What's the connection with your child?"

"The ones who should be deprived of their inheritance rights have already been deprived more than ten years ago; the ones who should be inherited have become the heirs of other families a few months ago; The rank of the princess is lowered... even if I am the imperial concubine, after these things have been concluded, what else can the position of imperial concubine bring to my children?"

The imperial concubine Su Wanrou raised her eyes to look at the ceiling, her eyes were dry and hoarse.

"The emperor gave me such a royal concubine after arranging the fate of my children. It seems that this moment is just a comfort; it's just another happy occasion."

"If the emperor really felt sorry for me, why couldn't he have granted me the title earlier? At least, before my successor Yongrong came out, and before my Princess Hejiayi and Princess Heshuo's grades were downgraded! Either way, it's not too late. It can give them another chance to be more expensive than mother and child..."
.
What the imperial concubine Su Wanrou said made Wanxi feel sad.

Wanxi tried her best to comfort her, "Sister Su, don't think so. After all, it's a happy event for my sister to become an imperial concubine."

"Yong Rong, He Jia, and the others failed to get married before my sister came into the seal, but at least my sister...you can still think about your own affairs."

Several imperial concubines of the emperor have already been buried in the emperor's underground palace, and they can still follow each other underground after a hundred years.

Wanxi tried her best to smile and said, "My sister is already an imperial concubine, so she can follow the emperor forever. I don't have this blessing myself, I really envy my sister."

Imperial Concubine Su Wanrou also smiled bitterly, and nodded slowly, "The only thing that can be comforted at this moment is this matter."

As Su Wanrou said, she raised her eyes to focus on Wanxi, "Wanxi, don't move. The emperor pointed out the apse to you. Even if you and I were both concubines in the past, the emperor only pointed out the hall to you." You, why do you and I have to restrict the status difference between imperial concubine and imperial concubine?"

Wanxi still wanted to persuade her, but Su Wanrou closed her eyes sadly, "Listen to me. I understand my body best. This movement is completely unnecessary."
.
At the beginning of April, the emperor worshiped the sky with the common fish, and went to the southern suburbs to fast in the fasting palace, and was away from the garden for many days.

Wanxi is taking care of her body carefully, but she also has to assist Nala and is busy with the canonization ceremony of imperial concubine Su Wanrou.

Because the status of the imperial concubine is different from other positions, the preparations for the ceremony are more cumbersome and strict; in addition, the emperor's sudden edict without warning made the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and other relevant departments unprepared. The deadline was tight, so the entire harem and garden were already busy.

On this day, Yuqin, who had been ill for a long time, suddenly came to see Wanxi.

Ever since Little Lu'er left, Yuqin has never been able to get sick.Wanxi herself was dragged by the emperor anyway, went back to the palace to watch the wedding of the fourth princess, and went to Yongrong's mansion to wait, but she could still dissipate her depression; but Yuqin seemed to have her entire spine taken away, her whole body Already lying down.

There is no way to celebrate even the concubine's imperial concubine.

This is the first time Yuqin has come here since Wanxi moved to "Tiandi Family Spring".

Seeing Yuqin walking in, Wanxi looked sick, so she hurriedly got up and walked over to her, hugging Yuqin, "Sister, why can't I ask Qingguang and the others to tell them, do you have to come by yourself?"

Yuqin supported Wanxi, walked slowly to the edge of the kang and sat down.Even after these few steps, she felt a little dizzy and her eyes were darkened, so she hurriedly raised her hand to support her forehead.

"There is something that I have to tell you myself."

Wanxi also sat down and reached out to help Yuqin rub her forehead.

"Sister said yes, take your time."

Yurui also hurriedly took a forehead wipe that Wanxi used on weekdays, and stepped forward to strangle Yuqin's forehead.

While busy with work, Yurui glanced at Wanxi, and asked in a low voice, "Sister Qing, but nobleman Lan and Echang are here, what's going on?"
.
Yuqin looked up at Yurui sickly, but shook her head, "The two of them are having a fight, but I can't take care of them now. Even the two of them have seen me now You look like you, and you didn't dare to make trouble in front of my eyes."

"At this moment, my whole heart is completely dead. How can I still manage their affairs? Let's make a scene. If you have the ability, you can tear off the roof, or whoever kills whoever dies!"

Wanxi hurriedly supported Yuqin's arm, "Sister, don't get angry. Since it's not about the two of them, my sister calmed down and talked about it slowly."

Yuqin took a deep breath to calm herself down, and looked up at Wanxi.

"Do you remember, Yinglian?"

Yuqin was so eloquent that even Wanxi was a little surprised.

"Yinglian?" Wanxi didn't think about it for a while.

Thanks to Yurui's clearer understanding of the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she quickly reminded, "It's the official of the assistant leader after Sister Qing's mother's family was ordered to enter the banner."

Wanxi also nodded, "I remember, it's the collar of the collar where my sister's house is located. It seems to be a Han surname, and the Han surname is Feng?"

Yuqin nodded, "Well, that's him."

Wanxi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with him? My sister came here specially today, why would she say him? Could it be that he dared to treat my sister and mother's family harshly?"

"If that's the case, it's easy. Yurui is here ready-made, so I'll leave this matter to her, Ama Debao; if it's not good, there's Jiuye. Jiuye entrusted my sister's mother's house to her that day." Let this Yinglian go, even if he thinks about it, he wouldn't dare to disrespect Jiuye's words."

Yuqin shook her head, "On the contrary, he is very considerate to my mother's family."

Yurui also looked at Wanxi, "I remembered, it seems that I heard that this Yinglian was promoted from the household department doctor in the past two days to be the commander of the Zhenghuangqi Guard Army of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Wanxi raised her eyebrows, still a little confused, "Since Master Jiu has entrusted Yinglian to take care of my sister's mother's house, it is a good thing that Yinglian can be promoted. My sister was promoted to concubine, and now she is ill again. It's because of my sister, Ai Wu and Wu, there are also."

Yuqin frowned, "I'm worried, it's not a good thing~"
