Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2334 Seven Volumes 34 Where are you taking me, Your Majesty? (complete)
On the fourth day of August, the emperor entrusted the empress dowager to watch a play in Paradise, and the concubines in the harem, along with the princes of the clan, Fujin Gege, etc., were given to watch the play together.The emperor decreed that he would personally serve the empress dowager two meals early in Tongyuan, which was a one-day show.

This is how the royal family warmed up for the emperor's birthday celebration in Beijing in advance.

On this day, the princes and grandchildren, the clan princes, etc. all watched the theater on the first floor of the east and west hatchbacks, and the family members were all on the second floor.This is all together, besides having a good time, what they talked about in private was naturally the matter of being able to accompany Mulan this time.

This year, because the emperor asked Wanxi, who was pregnant with Liujia, to go with her, the entire accompanying list disrupted people's previous guesses.

The heads of the inner court accompanying this time are: Empress Nala, Wanxi, Concubine Shu, Concubine Yu, Concubine Qing, Concubine Ying, Concubine Yu, and the nobleman.

Such an arrangement is that all the heads of the inner court above the imperial concubine will accompany them; the concubines and the nobles will each elect a representative - and these two people, one is from Erut Mongolia, and the other is from the Ministry of Hui And Zhuo's, what is more prominent is the complete pacification of the Northwest this year.

If this happened, the most frustrated person would be Concubine Xin.After all, besides the Empress and Concubine Ling, she is the only one who is still alive in the inner court.But in such an important year as the emperor's fiftieth birthday, the emperor did not take her with him.

It's fine in previous years, this year is always special.So this year, she also had some expectations in her heart - after all, no matter how much the emperor doesn't like any woman in the harem, he always cares about the emperor's heir.Even at the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, the emperor treated the eighth princess Shunying so amiably... She even thought that the emperor would soften her for the sake of the eighth princess, right?

——Unfortunately, that was just wishful thinking after all. (On the Internet there is a speculation that the first one on the left in the second row is Concubine Xin, but the color of the clothes is wrong. The concubine's auspicious clothes refer to "Heart Writing", which is a bit purple-red. In the painting, it must be completely separated from the golden yellow of the concubine. So the one on the far left in the second row who can wear the same color as Concubine Shu and Concubine Qing can only be Concubine Ying.)
"It doesn't matter, we're not in a hurry." Sitting among the crowd, watching the people who were driving happily gathered together to discuss what to bring, she lowered her head and hugged Shunying and said softly.

She said this to her daughter as well as herself.

Don't worry, after all, she has already laid out the chess pieces, even if she can't accompany her this time, she still has a chance in the future.
.
The Empress Dowager just came back to Yuanmingyuan from Changchun Garden today, so it was only today that she knew about Wanxi accompanying her.

Although the emperor's decree has been made and cannot be changed, the empress dowager still couldn't help holding her son's arm while everyone was concentrating on watching the excitement on the stage, and said softly, "You are really brave! The imperial concubine has already reported her happiness, and you still have to make trouble to go together now, if you were born halfway, what would you do?"

A man is a man after all, not a woman. I don't understand the reason why a woman may give birth at any time in the last few months.

The emperor nodded with a smile, "That's okay. If it's not in Beijing, the summer resort has all the facilities of the palace, so what's missing from Beijing? Besides, my son is already full of confinement grandmothers, doctors and women's servants." We all took them with us, even if she gave birth in the Summer Resort, it is no different from the palace."

The empress dowager sighed, "...Actually, why is this necessary? Isn't it too hard for her to go?"

The emperor smiled and blinked, "Ene forgot, when my son was driven down to Jiangnan by the Holy Ene, she also went with Xiao Shishi in her arms. She can go no matter how far it is in the south of the Yangtze River; Rehe is far away from the capital. It's only a few steps away, so naturally she can go even more."

The empress dowager could only sigh, "Look at you, look at you! The children in your womb tell you to take them to Jiangnan and Saibei. They are all the children of Concubine Ling. It's not enough for you to make an exception once. Be bolder!"

"It was the time of Xiao Shisi, she was just pregnant; but this time, it could happen at any time!"

The emperor bowed his head and lowered his eyebrows, "Ernie, although my son's children are precious, they must not be squeamish~~ My son has so much hope for Xiao Shishi, and this time it is the same for this child."

The empress dowager also knew that her son's imperial decree had been issued for several days, so even if she complained a few words at this moment, it could not be changed.The empress dowager could only sigh, "After all, I have prepared more in advance, so that she will have less hardship along the way."

The emperor's long eyes were smiling, and he actually gently hugged his mother's arm, and rubbed it affectionately, "Ene is so kind, my son thanked her mother and daughter."

The empress dowager could only laugh and scold, "You, what's the matter with learning to act like a baby again at the age of 50?"
.
After watching the play for a while, everyone was a little tired, so some of them left the table to relax in the garden, or went to the side hall to rest.

Seeing this, Concubine Xin got up too, and looked back at Le Xin.

Lexin understood, bent his knees, turned around and walked away quietly.

After a while, on the rockery away from people, Concubine Xin saw Yuse.

Yuse hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but was supported by Concubine Xin.

Concubine Xin smiled and said, "Don't be too polite. In the future, we must be sisters; or even, I will have to greet you in the future. I dare not accept your gift today."

Yuse immediately blushed. How could a 14-year-old girl withstand such flattery?

"Master Xin, how dare a slave~~"

Concubine Xin clapped Yuse's hand with a smile, "Why don't you dare? If you don't dare to think about it, how can this matter happen to you? Only if you dare to think about it, can you dare to do it. When the time comes, all of this will happen." It can all come true."

"Don't think that this has never happened. Don't forget about your sister. When she first entered the palace, didn't she also come in under the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to select women? What's more, there is Ling Guifei——she But she has been an official woman for several years, but now she is also a noble concubine?"

Concubine Xin stared at her wry eyes, "Based on your relationship with the two of them, this is the best example you can set before your eyes. Even if others don't dare to think about it, you must dare to think about it, and you will be more sure of it." Come true!"

Yuse's face turned even redder. The 14-year-old girl is so shy and blushing even without makeup.

Concubine Xin sighed melancholy, "Look at you, you are so young. Among us, it seems that we are all skinny and old. This youth is your greatest strength." Capital. Let me say something practical: What do men like most when they are old?"

"Not gold and silver, nor land and real estate... What they like most is youth. A young girl like you will make them feel that their youth has returned."

Yuse was so ashamed that she didn't dare to raise her head, wishing she could get into a crack in the ground and hide.

Concubine Xin smiled even brighter, "Don't be shy. Why is your concubine Ling so favored all these years? That is because Concubine Ling is 16 years younger than the emperor. Concubine Ling was the same age as you when she first entered the palace. , at the age of 14, among the group of Empress Xiaoxian and the present empress, that is called a fresh and fresh."

"But now, she is also old. You see, she is pregnant with a child now, and she can't even apply makeup on her face. It's like a flower that is about to wither, and the color and fragrance are gone. You just go to her side As soon as you stand up, I will be your guarantor, the eyes of the emperor will be glued to you immediately, and he won't bother to look at that haggard look!"

Yuse was so ashamed that her face was as embarrassing as a burning coal, but——slowly raised her head to meet Concubine Xin's gaze.

In those eyes, besides the shyness, there is finally a bright light shining clearly.

When Concubine Xin saw it, she was secretly overjoyed.She knew too well what that light was.

"Good girl, you really are promising. I knew it, I saw you right."

Yuse knelt down on both knees, "I don't know what to do, so I ask Master Concubine Xin for advice."

Concubine Xin helped her up with her own hands with a smile, "What do you call master? Sister. I invited you here today to congratulate you—I was worried that Concubine Qing would stay in Beijing with Concubine Ling, so I brought you with me." I can't even go; but at this moment, the emperor has changed his mind and asked Concubine Ling and your sister to drive to Mulan together. Then you can follow naturally."

"But, even if Concubine Ling and the others go, they can't be grateful. They are all busy taking care of Concubine Ling... What about the emperor, the emperor's siege must be full of enthusiasm, and who will we find at that time? go?"

Yuse was so ashamed that he couldn't lift his head anymore.

Concubine Xin squeezed Yuse's hand tightly with a smile, "This time, you just need to make yourself appear in the emperor's field of vision steadily, then it will be a matter of course for Er Chengen to serve him at bedtime." .”

Concubine Xin leaned into Yuse's ear and whispered, "... After the emperor sentry the deer, he must drink the blood of the deer. When the time comes, your good days will come. Show off your young and charming figure, and pass on the tactful words." ; Feel free to be young and innocent in front of the emperor, or shed tears, or cry out pain...just like Ling Guifei's best appearance. I'm afraid that the emperor will not care about you at that time~~"
.
August [-]th, Longevity Day.

The emperor personally went to the Fengxian Hall to salute, and then went to the Cining Palace to salute the Empress Dowager.Afterwards, he went to the Imperial Palace of Supreme Harmony, and all the civil and military officials below the king entered the table and held congratulatory ceremonies.

On this day in Beijing, there were only celebrations and no banquets.All the banquets for the Longevity Day and the Daqing Festival are waiting for the time of the siege of Rehe.

On August [-], Ji Chou Day, the emperor enshrined the Empress Dowager from the Old Summer Palace.

On August 27, Shengjia arrived at the Summer Resort.

In the autumn of previous years, after the emperor arrived at the Summer Resort, he must rest for many days, hold the autumn ceremony here, and summon the princes of the Mongolian and Hui tribes and other ministries.However, this year, the emperor changed his routine and only spent one day in the summer resort for rest. On August 29, he set off for Mulan.
.
This way, Yang Shi also accompanied Wanxi.As a mother, she was more nervous than Wanxi herself.

Wanxi was afraid that her mother would be tired all the way, so she always comforted her to relax.

This time, after only one day of rest at the Summer Resort, the Emperor rushed to Mulan, and Yang Shi felt a little worried again.

"... Your Majesty used to spend at least three or five days at the Summer Resort in the summer resort. This year he took you with him, why did he leave in such a hurry?"

Wanxi deliberately opened the frame to show her body to her mother, "Don't worry, Ernie, isn't my daughter well? How about my daughter trot for a few steps and ask you to take a look?"

Yang was all amused, "Look at you, you are talking stupid~~"

Wanxi smiled and hugged her mother with one hand, and stroked her belly with the other, "Don't worry. This child really relieves my daughter's worries. After walking this way for eight days, he didn't ask her to eat anything Bitter go."

Yuqin also laughed, "Don't worry if you are old. The emperor took eight days to travel from Beijing to the Summer Resort. If the usual practice of previous years is followed, the emperor should arrive in only five days. This year, the trip was slowed down specially for Wan Xier, so you haven't heard her say that you are not tired at all during the trip?"

"Besides, the emperor is such a careful person. If he hadn't been informed by Wanxi a long time ago, knowing that there was nothing wrong with Wanxi, then the emperor would not have the reason to just rest up for a day. The emperor himself is proficient Medical theory, this must be the emperor's order after asking the imperial doctor and checking Wanxi's pulse in person."

As Yuqin spoke, she glanced at Wanxi and made a grimace.

"Again, you keep thinking, why did the emperor leave the Summer Resort and go to Mulan in such a hurry? Naturally, he was also concerned about Wanxi's body, and he just wanted to finish things early and send Wanxi off as soon as possible. Go back to the palace."

After listening to Yuqin's analysis, Yang finally burst out laughing.

"It's still Concubine Qing's master who is wise, and this servant can feel at ease."

Yuqin hurriedly covered her face and begged, "Don't call yourself like that in front of me, my junior, I really have no place to be ashamed!"

After Yang also bowed her knees, she still got up and held Yuqin's hand, "Then I'm breaking the rules today."

Yuqin smiled, and nodded vigorously, "It's better as it is. After all, there are no outsiders around, and with the door closed, you are always an aunt, and I am a junior."

Yang patted Yuqin's hand lightly, "This time Yurui didn't come with me, Master Qing took care of everything around Jiu'er, so I'm so sorry."

Yuqin said with a smile, "Don't say that. This time, although Wanxi came with the emperor, but our nine princesses are still young and still stay in the palace. The person who Wanxi can rest assured the most , only if Yurui is gone, it is better to ask Yurui to stay in the palace and take care of Jiujiu personally, so that Wanxi can rest assured, right?"

"As for me, I can't compare to Yurui's quick hands and feet. Besides, Yuchan and Yuying are naturally busy with the immediate affairs. I just sit and talk with Wanxi , to help her relieve her boredom."

Although Mrs. Yang asked Yuqin to explain it, she still felt a little inappropriate, "Oh... I don't know how the emperor's next schedule will be arranged. The further north you go, the colder the sky will be. I really think it would be serious to ask the emperor for an order to tell Jiu'er to return to Beijing from here."

After staying away from Wanxi's palace, Yuqin couldn't help whispering to Concubine Ying, "...before I tried to comfort Aunt Wei to go. But now let's say something sympathetic: I'm also beating the drums."

"I thought that if the emperor asked Wanxi to come to the Summer Resort, she would have arrived at the place. After the emperor gave a banquet at the Summer Resort, Wanxi would be able to return to Beijing. But the emperor actually wanted to take Wanxi to Mulan "Oh, what is the emperor doing?"

Concubine Ying also frowned.This has reached the boundaries of various Mongolian tribes, so she naturally knows better than Yuqin.After leaving the Summer Resort, all the way to Mulan is the grassland area. Most of the daily living is in felt tents, and the cost of eating and drinking is not as convenient as in the Summer Resort.

"Sister Qing said that my heart is also tied together! I don't know when the emperor will let my sister go back to Beijing to take care of her."
.
On this day, a major case broke out in Jiangnan.

Yin Jishan, the governor of Liangjiang, said: In the treasury of the chief envoy of Jiangsu, there are more than [-] taels of silver stored in the two items of silver: consumption envy and public deposits!
Since ancient times, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been the places where the imperial court financed. The emperor was also shocked by the huge deficit in the Jiangsu chief envoy and vassal.

The emperor immediately ordered Liu Tongxun, the co-organizer of the university, and Chang Jun, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, to go there.Special decree, Liu Tongxun and others can order the governor, etc., to first arrest all criminals in the case and investigate them one by one.

For this reason, the next day, the emperor decreed that Jiangsu should add a feudal vassal to manage the division of duties: the original Jiangsu chief envoy would be divided into two positions: "Suzhou chief envoy" and "Jiangning chief envoy".

The governor of Suzhou is stationed in Suzhou and has jurisdiction over the five prefectures of Su, Song, Chang, Zhen, and Tai; the governor of Jiangning is stationed in Jiangning and has jurisdiction over the six prefectures of Jiang, Huai, Yang, Xu, Hai, and Tong.

When the news came back to the capital, Concubine Xin was the most terrified.

She hurriedly asked Le Rong and Le Yi to inquire about the news, and asked the chief eunuch in the palace to inquire carefully in the name of going back to her mother's house to greet her mother.After all the news from all parties came back together, she breathed a sigh of relief.

——At this time, her brother-in-law An Ning is no longer in the post of Jiangsu chief envoy, and the current Jiangsu chief envoy is Su Chong'a.

"It's hard to be an official in charge of money and food in Jiangnan," Concubine Xin finally smiled, "In that place, every dynasties in that place have been rich and wealthy, and the government's finances have come from it. You haven't seen the Lianghuai Salt Administration in these years. It doesn’t matter, whether it’s the chief envoy of Jiangsu, how many officials have fallen into this position, lost their heads, lost their wealth, and those whose family members have no official status.”

"My brother-in-law has been able to do a job well in the officialdom these years. He has served as the chief envoy of Jiangsu, the governor of Jiangsu, and also in charge of Suzhou weaving. He has not made any mistakes. Now he just happens to be wise and safe, and he is not stained with oil. go."

Le Rong and Yue Yi are naturally also happy.Now the master's Ama is long gone, and the master's greatest reliance is this brother-in-law.If something happened to An Ning now, who should he rely on?
Le Rong said, "It's natural for the emperor to be furious now. Master, have you forgotten that because next year is the empress dowager's 70th birthday, the emperor planned to send the empress dowager to the south next year. The emperor went south, this way Naturally, all the money and food expenditures in Jiangnan are on the people in charge of money and food in Jiangnan. How can the emperor not be furious that Jiangsu has lost so much money."

Concubine Xin also narrowed her eyes slightly.

"You're right. Originally, I was happy because my brother-in-law was not serving as the chief political envoy of Jiangsu at this time; During the tour...if someone has the ability to gather up Jiangsu's money and food at this moment, it will be a good opportunity to make a contribution!"

Le Yi also laughed, "No, just as the master said, Mrs. An Ning served several times as the chief envoy of Jiangsu, the governor of Jiangsu, and Suzhou Weaving. This experience is unrivaled!"

Concubine Xin bowed her head in thought, and the smile on the corner of her mouth slowly overflowed.

She raised her hand to call Liu Hai, the chief eunuch in the palace, and whispered a few words in Liu Hai's ear.

Liu Hai hurriedly hit Qian'er, "I'm going to Mrs. Anning's residence right now, slave!"
.
Emperor Luan drove out of the summer resort, traveling at a rather slow speed, at least three miles a day, and at most no more than thirty miles; on average, the daily journey was only limited to a dozen to twenty miles.

Therefore, even though Wanxi's body is already heavy, she is still not tired.

When autumn comes in September, Bashang Grassland is the most beautiful scenery.Therefore, the land is not only an endless grassland, but also a transition from the hillside forest to the flat grassland. Therefore, when you look up at this moment, the leaves on the hillside are golden; but on the ground, the meadow is still green.Looking up at the sky, the blue sky seemed washed.

Compared with the palace garden in Beijing, the scenery here is clear and vast, which makes people think of the word "freedom"; even if it is physically inconvenient, the heart has already jumped on the horseback and galloped freely on the grassland hillside.

Go far, to the horizon.

Wanxi couldn't help but open all the curtains and inhale the clear air wantonly.

But Mrs. Yang was worried, and persuaded, "It's getting cold here, take a careful breath and go in, and your stomach will hurt again."

Wanxi smiled and pointed outside, "Ernie, I've been here before!"

Yuqin also came over to look at it, but smiled, "Why can't I tell which is which? After all, they are all grasslands and forests, and I don't see any difference."

Although the emperor is in autumn every year, the route may not be exactly the same every year.Therefore, where she has been in which year, and the places are all named after Mongolia, so Yuqin, a Jiangnan woman, can't remember clearly.

Wanxi closed her eyes, with a quiet smile on her face like the wind and clouds, "I don't know, but I just know that I have been here. Even if the wind here hits my face, I feel it. Familiar. I think I must have breathed the wind here before, and lay down on the ground to see the clouds in the sky!"

Concubine Ying deserved to be Gege from Mongolia, so she slapped her leg, "I can tell, it should be not far from 'Yimianyu'!"

Both Wanxi and Yuqin looked towards Concubine Ying, "Yimianyu? Where is it?"

Concubine Ying blinked and smiled, "Yimianyu, it's our Mongolian word, which means 'will return'. The emperor summoned Erut Mongolian and Huibu princes here in the year before last and the year before last. Therefore, the year before last The emperor personally named this place 'Yimianyu'."

Wanxi's heart moved slightly, "Since it was given this name the year before last, what was it called here before?"

"Buhu Tu~~", Concubine Ying said, "That's the 'place where there are deer'!"
