Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2364 Seven Volumes 65 Not Seen (Bi)

Wanxi and Yurui's eyes met.

Yu Rui stood up, "I'll go see him."

Wanxi stretched out her arms to hold Yurui, and ordered Li Zhu, the mother who was serving Xiao Shiwu, to take Xiao Shiwu back first.

Yu Rui felt more and more embarrassed, and couldn't help calling in a low voice, "Sister, this is caused by Cui Huan! She is a woman under my rank, and what she caused is my fault, so I should deal with it." situation."

Wanxi nodded, "I naturally believe that you have the ability to face this situation. It's just that there are rules in the palace. Yongxuan is not used in Yongxuan. Yongxuan is an adult and is not allowed to walk around in the inner court at will; besides, he The wedding is imminent, and this is the time when the storm is on the cusp."

"And you are still a nobleman. Without my permission, you can't meet people alone, let alone an adult prince who is about to get married."

Wanxi patted Yurui's hand lightly, "Also, you are still young, about the same age as Yongxuan; you have never given birth to an imperial heir...so all of this is always suspected of being a melon farm."

"I'll see. If there's anything, because it's me, everything will be fine."

This is the rule of the harem, and it is also a tradition left by the ancestors.Not to mention that Yurui and Yongxuan are not suitable to meet each other, even the young concubines left behind by the emperor and the first emperor cannot meet alone before the age of 50.

There are advantages and disadvantages, if you are not careful, you will turn around and become a target for others to attack Yurui.

At this moment, Yongxuan was in a panic, so he forgot to avoid suspicion and went directly to the inner court; in fact, if he could calmly think about it, Yongxuan's reckless behavior itself might affect the entire Yongshou Palace.

At this moment, no one can be calmer than Wanxi.Wanxi's calmness also infected Yurui, and Yurui also calmed down, and she nodded, "I'll accompany my sister to see the eighth brother?"

Wanxi raised her eyes to look at Yurui, but gently opened her hand, "Silly girl, leave Yongxuan to me. I think that when he was born, I almost delivered him with my own hands. Because of this paragraph In the past, even if someone dared to arrange for Yongxuan to meet with some inner court official privately, it would not be able to arrange for me."

"It would be inconvenient for you to stay here. After all, Yongxuan has been walking around our palace every birthday these years. You used to be an official woman, and you are familiar with him... This will inevitably make people with ulterior motives uncertain. What did you come up with again?"

Yu Rui knew the importance, so she also nodded, "I'll call Liu Zhu'er. It's not good for an adult prince to meet with the head of the inner court alone. It's better to have the chief inspector by his side."

Wan Xi stared, "Yongxuan is here, Cui Huan must be worried."

Yu Rui also took a deep breath, "Sister, don't worry, I'll go into Cui Huan's ear room and sit beside her to guard her. At this juncture, I will definitely not let her make trouble!"

Wanxi was also melancholy in her heart, and sighed deeply, "The word love is the most touching thing in this world, but it is also the most hurtful thing. Marriage depends on fate, and it doesn't matter if it's one step earlier or later. But The two of them happened to be rushing at this most inappropriate juncture... If there is a slight mistake in this moment, it will not only ruin Yong Xuan, but also the life of Cui Huan, and even her mother's family. destiny."

Yu Rui's heart also trembled, "I understand. I must keep my eyes on her!"
.
When Yongxuan was finally summoned into the hall, Wanxi did not meet him in the back hall, but was formally enthroned in the open room of the main hall.

With the friendship between Yongxuan and Wanxi these years, it was the first time that Yongxuan saw Wanxi officially opened her posture like this, his heart skipped a beat, and many things became clear.

But although his heart was shaken, it was not a surprise to him.Before he came here, he knew how high the threshold was today, and how difficult it would be to step over it with his legs.

However, he is also more clear: if he wants to come, he must come.

Yongxuan stood in front of the main hall, held her breath, and walked steadily over the threshold on her own.Go inside and kneel down in front of Wanxi's seat.

Since Wanxi is so formal today, Yongxuan also formally kneels and kowtows, saying, "My son, Yongxuan, pay homage to Ling'eniang."

Wanxi sat high in the seat, she didn't raise her eyes to look at Yongxuan, instead she was flipping through a booklet with downcast eyes.

After Yongxuan finished the ceremony, Wanxi didn't cry out, she still lowered her eyes, and her eyes fell on the booklet.

"The eighth elder brother is getting married soon, and logically speaking, it is not appropriate to step into the inner court casually. But since the eighth elder brother has come to my palace today, I will also remember the eighth elder brother's love, thinking about how good or bad these years are. The eighth brother has not forgotten that I am an aunt."

This is what Wanxi said, and Yongxuan couldn't bear it.Yongxuan hurriedly fell to the ground, not daring to raise his head again, "How could Ling Erniang say such a thing today? Ling Erniang is an aunt, but Erniang had told Erchen all along in the early years, and Erchen knew that if Ling Erniang hadn't If we rescue each other, there will be no son-in-law's safe birth... The son-in-law knew that the son-in-law was in danger of bee venom right after he was born, so Erniang even sucked the bee venom for the son-in-law..."

"If this is the case, in my heart, I never only regard Ling Erniang as my aunt, but in my heart, I respect Ling Erniang as my mother."

Thinking back then, the corners of Wanxi's eyes were a little wet.

It's just that it's not the time to be soft-hearted yet, she took a deep breath, and sat up straight, "Don't be panic. Come in, I'll read this booklet here; but don't worry, I'm not looking at you The "Story of the Stone" that came to the inner court, I read the "Imperial Qing Huidian"!"

"Yongxuan, April [-]th is the auspicious date for your official appointment. Let's see what the rules are for the prince's wedding."

Wanxi flipped through the "Congress Code" on purpose, and finally stopped on a certain page. Wanxi looked at it intently, and then smiled brightly.

"Listen! Prince Nacai, his ceremonial coin is about one gold collar, seven east pearls; five big gold hairpins, five pearls each; three small gold hairpins, one pearl each; six gold ceres, one east pearl each; Four gold bracelets, one hundred gold buttons, two hundred silver buttons, 140 mink skins for clothing, three mink skins for hats, 250 fox skins for quilts and mattresses, seven Minase skins for Yuanchao clothes, one hundred coins for the inside and outside, cotton Three hundred catties—is this for Prince Fujin?"

"It's not over yet, I still want to bless Father Jin with ten taels of gold, 700 taels of silver, a fox fur court coat, a smoked mink hat, a gold belt, adorned boots and socks, a horse, and a bridle." Wanxi snorted lightly. Son, "This is for Mr. Yin Jishan."

"The beginning of spring is the most critical time for Jiangnan's livelihood in a year, but at this time, the emperor also asked Lord Yin Jishan to put down the errand of the governor of Liangjiang and return to Beijing to prepare these. My eighth elder brother, your emperor Can you see Ma’s intentions and Lord Yin Jishan’s intentions? The prince’s wedding is of course important, but the errands of the governor of Liangjiang and the plan of Jiangnan’s yearly plan are in the spring, can’t they compare to you?”

Yongxuan trembled, her complexion turned pale.

Now the imperial concubine Shujia has passed away, and Yongxuan suffered from this foot disease since childhood... Therefore, Wanxi always loves Yongxuan after getting along with her all these years.If it wasn't for the matter in front of her, Wanxi would be reluctant to talk to Yongxuan in such a tone.Seeing Yongxuan's expression now, her heart ached as if someone had grabbed her.

But pain is pain, what should be said still has to be said.Just like every mother in this world, no one is really willing to hit their child; but if the child makes a mistake, an unforgivable mistake, no matter how unbearable it is, he has to be ruthless and slap him down.

"Hey, there's more here! It turns out that not only Fujin, Fujin's father, but also Fujin's mother will be rewarded!" Wanxi continued to read: "Rewarding Fujin's mother with six gold urns, a fox's girdle robe, and a sable for court clothes. Pi Liu, Ma Yi, saddle and bridle."

Wanxi read here, there is no need to continue to read.She closed the "Congress Code" and raised her jaw high.

"On the day of the salute, the chief minister will be in charge of the affairs, and Fujin's father will greet him outside the gate. Enter Chen Yi coins in the hall, Chen gives coins on the steps, and Chen horses on the middle steps, and then bestow blessings on Jin's father. Fujin kneels and accepts, Lead the children in equal order to stand in the east of the middle class. Wang Wenxing kneels three times and kowtows nine times."

"Fu Jin's mother led all the women out, and stood in the west of the lower middle class, watching and hearing the six sues, the three kneelings and the three prostrations..."

"Brother Ba, can you hear me clearly? This is no longer as simple as your personal dowry, this is already the glory of your Fujin mother's family! If there is a slight change, it will be like giving everyone a big mouth! "

Wanxi paused slightly, lowering her eyes lightly, "Eighth brother, you are about to hire on April [-]th, and the appointment is actually the ceremony of 'acceptance'. There are six ceremonies for wedding engagement, and the appointment is already in the fourth ceremony. , the next thing is to welcome the wedding... Eighth Brother, your marriage has come to this point, you should understand that there is no reason to change this."

When Wanxi said this, she suddenly sneered, "Oh, I was wrong, I take back what I just said. Originally, Cui Huan had nothing to do with this wedding ceremony. After all, she is just a coat under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which means Allotment to the prince can only be a 'prince's servant girl', it is still just an official girl, it is impossible to have such a gift of betrothal."

"The eighth elder brother is the emperor's elder brother. He is qualified to be assigned to the prince. The one who performs the wedding ceremony is either Gege from a Manchu family or the daughter of a Mongolian foreign vassal. Naturally, the eighth elder brother understands it in his heart, so he dares to marry him." You dare to come to my palace to beg to see Cui Huan when your wedding has already progressed to this point!"

Yong Xuan clenched her fingers lightly in her sleeves.

Wanxi sighed, tried her best not to bear it, and said softly:
"I heard that your Fujin is also a concubine, so you can tell me that those rewards to Fujin's mother that I read before are for whom? ——Yes, of course it is for Mr. Yin Jishan's concubine Fujin, the niece of Ertai It’s from the E family; it’s not from the Zhang family, Fujin’s birth mother.”

"Eighth brother, this is the difference between the concubine and the concubine. It is the rule that everyone feels sympathy for, but has to abide by. Because this rule has been passed down for thousands of years, none of us can change it. And even if Cui Huan points it out to you in the future, she can only serve as a concubine and a maidservant just like Zhang Shi, your mother-in-law of Fujin. Even if she gives birth to a child, it is not her own..."

Wanxi raised her eyes sadly, "You came to see Cuihuan, I understand that you are in love with her. But back to reality, I would like to ask you: Is this what you are eager to give to Cuihuan? Do you think she really wants it?"
.
Throwing Wanxi's words, Yongxuan felt like being hit head-on with a wooden club.

He looked up at Wanxi, he was so anxious that he couldn't speak, so he kowtowed to the ground.

Wanxi also felt uncomfortable, and sighed softly, "I know this may not be your own intention, but the royal family has always had strict rules, which even your Emma can't break, do you think you have the ability to change it? "

"As for Cuihuan, she is only a 15-year-old girl now, how can she afford these things? Not to mention Cuihuan, she was the imperial concubine Huixian back then. Under Bao Yi's banner, her identity can only be the emperor's handmaid at that time..."

"Fortunately, her Gao family was able to use her. She is a well-known coat family in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Her father has been a high official in the frontiers, so she can no longer be a humble official girl. That's why the late emperor was able to 'extend' Huixian Huang Guifei as a Side Fujin. Yongxuan, you should be able to hear the word clearly, it's called 'superba'."

"Therefore, you should understand that the daughters of families like the Gao family, the imperial concubine Huixian can only be super-baked as a side Fujin, not married into the door. Only noble Gege from a Manchu family, such as Empress Xiaoxian , Today's empress, the two of them are qualified to be married to the juniors."

Wanxi herself is also a woman under the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and her status is not as good as that of the imperial concubine Huixian under the leadership of Bao Yizuo.

Yongxuan was also almost in tears, and fell on the ground mournfully, "Ling Erniang said, why didn't I understand it? After all, Erniang, in Huang Ama's Qianlong mansion, also Because of her family background, she could only be Huang Ama's handmaid... These wedding gifts are not eligible to enjoy."

Wanxi sighed softly, got up and placed the "Imperial Qing Dynasty Canon" on the shelf, then stepped down to the ground and helped Yongxuan up.Pulling Yongxuan's wrist, she turned and left the bright room of the main hall, which symbolized the strict rules of the royal family, and walked into the secondary room beside her.

Without the restraint of the throne, Wanxi sat on the kang comfortably, and gave Yongxuan an embroidered pier to sit on.

"So, Yong Xuan, if you come to greet me today, then I will be very happy; but if you come to see Cui Huan today, then what I want to give you is those words just now."

"Those words are heavy, but every sentence is the reality in this palace, and it is a rule that none of us, including your emperor Ama, can't escape. You said you came to find Cuihuan at this juncture, you What do you want her to do, huh?"

"You are the prince and the master; as for her, she is just an official woman, a little girl who has just entered the palace to serve for a year. She dare not disobey the rules of the palace and your status as the prince. Yes. If you come to see her, if I don't stop her, she won't dare to see you... But if you do, what else do you want?"

"Whether you see her or not, your big marriage has already reached the fourth step, and it cannot be changed; if you still want to see her now, there are many people in this palace, and sooner or later the rumor will spread into the world. It's in the ears of your Fujin who is about to pass the door. Tell me, doesn't she hate Cui Huan?"

Yongxuan lowered her head, her hands were already clenched into fists, and her joints were completely exposed.

Wan Xi also felt distressed when she saw it, so she could only sigh and said, "When the prince is getting married, he is giving and receiving privately with the official's daughter. The daughter of Yin Jishan's family should pay attention to it! If this word spreads, it will naturally be big or small; if it is used by someone with a heart, once it becomes big, you will put Cui Huan to death!"

"...Because of our friendship over the years, and your mother-in-law's entrustment before she died, I have to protect you and not let you have any trouble; but Cuihuan is also a woman in my palace, and she came to the palace to serve me. Once, I also can't tell her to go on a wrong trip."

Wanxi slowly raised her eyes, soft but firm.

"That's why your trip today is for nothing. I definitely won't let you and Cuihuan meet again at this moment!"
.
Yongxuan was startled, and regardless of the inconvenience of her legs and feet, she fell to her knees straight from the embroidered pier.

He knelt down firmly, and his knees slammed on the floor tiles abruptly, making a crisp "boom".

"Ling Erniang... my son, please, please allow your son to see Cui Huan! My son knows that this matter is of great importance, and my son is not a fool. The reason why I dare to come to see you at this moment is only because she is A woman from Ling'erniang's palace; if she were in another palace, my son would not dare to come and see her."

"My son treats Ling Erniang as his own in his heart. Even if the son has something on his mind, he doesn't want to hide it from Ling Erniang, and even begs Ling Erniang to help his son be careful..."

Wanxi endured the pain in her heart, her face was still watertight.

"You want me to help you comprehensively? It's not impossible, it's not possible at this juncture!"

"It's not impossible for an official woman to serve the prince; after which prince gets married, there are not many official women in the office? It's just that you can't dismiss this boss privately! Only your emperor Ama can point it out to you. That’s justified.”

Wanxi raised her eyes and stared at Yongxuan, "If you can't bear it now, you have to hold it back! Now that your wedding has come to this point, you have to move forward even if you grit your teeth. It's over. Otherwise, where do you put your Huang Ama's holy will, how dare you expect your Huang Ama to point it to the official woman next to you?"

At this moment, Yongxuan finally couldn't bear the pain in his heart anymore, and was already crying.

Wanxi also closed her eyes lightly, "Especially don't you have the slightest resentment towards your Huang Ama. You should understand that your Fujin was selected by the Eight Banners women in Qianlong's 24th year, and the emperor has already selected for you And at that time, Cui Huan hadn't entered the palace yet, let alone you have never seen Cui Huan."

"Your imperial ama proposed marriage for you first, and you met Cuihuan later; what's more, she is a wrapped woman under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, her status is limited..."

Yongxuan quickly kowtowed to the ground, "son naturally dare not complain about Huang Ama. The fourth elder brother and Xiao Shiyi have told his son many times that Huang Ama can point out the daughter of the governor of Liangjiang to his son, which is really good for him. And to reassure Erniang's spirit in heaven. The son has nothing but gratitude for Huang Ama's love for her son."

"That's good." Wanxi breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly, "... I don't know if you understood what I said to you in a hurry. Me, It's not wrong to say that you are in love with Cui Huan. After all, you two are still fifteen-year-old children, it's the time when you first fell in love, and it's only reasonable to like someone."

Wanxi finally smiled slightly as she said, "Besides, I also have a heart to cherish myself. Although Cuihuan is not a woman under me, she is a girl in my palace after all. I watched her timidly walk into me with my own eyes. Coming to the palace gate, she grew up under my nose day by day. It was her name after entering the palace, and I personally changed it for her."

Wanxi couldn't help but sigh softly as she spoke, "I, naturally hope that she can marry well and have the best entrustment in this life. Since the two of you are in love with each other, why don't I secretly love her?" Have you enjoyed it?"

"But as I said, the two of you chose the wrong time. No matter how happy you two are at this moment, you will never see each other again. Otherwise, for your Huang Ama's holy will Regardless of disrespect, where did you put Fujin who is about to pass the door?"

"She is also a little girl who has just begun to love her. She was chosen by the emperor two years ago. She has a combination of horoscopes. She is destined to be married to you. The emperor officially refers to the marriage, and he has already sacrificed to the ancestors. Over the years, she has also devoted herself to learning the rules, and she is just waiting to marry you. If you only want to meet Cui Huan privately at this moment, how can you be worthy of her?"

"Besides, let me be honest again. If you still expect your Empress Ama to point you to Cuihuan in the future, do you want your Fujin to accept her with hatred for Cuihuan? You Have you ever thought about what kind of situation Er Cuihuan will be in when she steps into the gate of your institution, huh?"
.
Wanxi understands it with reason, moves it with emotion, breaks apart and crushes all this matter, and puts it in front of his eyes.Yongxuan, who was only fifteen years old, was anxious and ashamed for a moment, and she was already out of control.

The 15-year-old child's scorching heat and hesitation in front of the word love, Wanxi watched from the side, felt strange but familiar.

Looking back at that time, why wasn't she like this?

Just because of an encounter in the flower field, just because he sucked her wounds in his supreme body, just because—he annoyed her and called her stupid.She has attached her whole heart to him firmly, and has followed him all her life, without any regrets.

For people who are in love, especially boys and girls who are just in love, the most precious thing is not that kind of obsession with no regrets?

Thinking of this, Wan Xi couldn't harden her heart anymore.

She sighed softly, "Silly boy, did you understand what I said? Although I scolded you, I never said that I would not help you. Since the timing is not right, you should get married properly." , then go to do what you should do. I won't let you see Cui Huan now, and I don't mean that I won't let you see forever. "

"Let's call the next period of time a test between the two of you. Let's see if you love her as before after a period of time? Let her calm down and think about whether she is willing to wrong herself. After you get married, you are still willing to go to your house only as a maid."

"I also need this scene, so I came to find an opportunity to tactfully persuade you, Huang Ama, to marry you, right?"

Wanxi has kind eyes.

"If there is love, is it in the morning and evening? If there is long love, it will eventually become a family."
