Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2410 Seven Volumes 113 Don't Tell the Brothers to Fight
In October, the emperor went from Yuanmingyuan to Jingyiyuan to personally inspect the training of Jianrui battalion.

Wanxi is unable to accompany her this year, but she can't help but think back to the 13th year of Qianlong, when the Battle of Dajinchuan was the most difficult time.No one of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty dared to go to Jinchuan to lead the army. The emperor wished he could lead the conquest by himself, so he built watchtowers on Jingyiyuan Mountain, simulating the terrain of Jinchuan, and personally supervised the training of the Jianrui and Yunti battalions...

It was there that she met Master Jiu in private for the first time after entering the seal.

Under her persuasion and encouragement, Jiuye, who was only in his twenties that year, who was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and who had never led troops to the battlefield, finally volunteered to go to Dajinchuan, where he was taken over by Neqin. The next mess.

And thus, established Jiuye's rise to the top, and finally became the leader of the dynasty, the status of being under one person and above ten thousand people.

Time is like water, looking back, 14 years have passed.And after the incident between her and Master Jiu in Dajinchuan, they never faced each other alone or in private.

Recalling the reunion when we were young, the two half-grown children mischievously went to restaurants and flower houses to investigate the private sale of the banner... At this moment, looking down, it seems like a lifetime ago.

"Jiu'er? Why are you crying?" Mother Yang is the most careful, but Wanxi is careful, so Yang saw it.

Wanxi hurriedly wiped her back, and said with a smile, "Don't worry Ernie, my daughter didn't cry, but some eye hair got in her eyes, and she panicked."

Yang Shi also nodded, "That's right...Thinking about these days, the emperor is always careful with you, why do you want to cry?"

Wanxi also laughed, "That's not true. What's more, I have my mother with me~~"

Wanxi leaned her head on Yang's shoulder coquettishly, looking sideways out the window.

Yes, in fact, there is really no need to be sad.Nine masters are now in a prestigious position, unmatched by anyone.The children are all well-born, and Jiufujin and Zhuanxiang are also virtuous; even if there is such an inefficient lamp as Ruxiang, at least Fu Ling'an, who was born by Ruxiang, is a good child.

Just in the past few days, the emperor also promoted Guangcheng, the eldest brother of Master Jiu, from the deputy capital of Manchuria in Zhenghuang Banner to the capital of Mongolia in Zhenghuang Banner. Deputy Dutong became Dutong, which is a promotion.

And Jiu Ye's nephew, Mingrui, the great patriarch of the Fu family, was appointed General Yili and awarded the post of Cavalry Captain.

No matter whether it is the generation of brothers or nephews, Master Jiu has to use them all. It is too late for her to be happy for Master Jiu, so why bother to shed tears.

——The only regret is that it falls on the marriage of children.

It's always uncomfortable to be unable to fulfill the wish of Master Jiu and Jiu Fujin, no matter how they can't hold back the fate that has been decided somewhere in the sky.
.
After the emperor returned to Yuanmingyuan from Jingyi Garden, he returned to the Forbidden City from Yuanmingyuan within a few days.

The emperor went to the Yumaoqin Palace and summoned relevant ministers such as the Military Aircraft Department, the Cabinet, and the Ministry of Punishment to formally perform the "Hunting Ceremony". Two days later, they hooked up real criminals from Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Anhui...

These news also came to Wanxi's ears intermittently.

Every time I listen to it, my heart will inevitably tremble again.It's just that the mother is still around, and the old man is more concerned about such things, so Wanxi carefully hides the sadness in her heart, and refuses to mention a word.

Without warning, on October [-]th, the emperor suddenly issued a long decree because of the hooking up of criminals.

The decree said: "The National Autumn Ceremony, the punishment seal is issued, and the people's orders are issued. Every year, the Ministry of Punishment submits the list of criminals in each province, and I will personally see the reasons for each case. If there are still cases in the case There is a thread of excusability, so I folded the corner of the page of the roster and wrote it down."

"Even if the crime is so heinous that it is unforgivable, it must be prosecuted after repeated deliberations. Even so, at the time of probation, it must be checked again and again to make sure that there is no more suspiciousness in the case. Finally made a decision."

The emperor specifically stated that "I am cautious and cautious" when it comes to the matter of collusion...

When this decree was passed back to Yuanzi, whoever heard it felt a little bit up and down.

Originally, the emperor had to execute criminals every autumn, so why didn't he issue such a long decree in the past so many years, to show his caution?

This makes it impossible for people to think that in September, the sky that has both solar and lunar eclipses in a month is strangely separated.

Solar eclipses and lunar eclipses are both regarded as warnings from heaven to the emperor.The emperor should reflect on himself, but no one could imagine what the emperor would take this warning for.

Today, I finally got some clues.

It's just that the emperor's reaction this time was really late, neither after the solar eclipse on the first day of September, nor after the lunar eclipse on the seventeenth day of September. On the contrary, it's already October, and it's been almost a whole month. It was only after a while that some letters came out.

It's fine for others, Xin Concubine heard the most frustrated feeling in her heart.

"...According to this, the emperor is thinking about the loss of the sun and the moon in September, and he is thinking about the matter of the autumn hook. What the emperor means is that the heavens are warning him, and they are warning him about the hook. Maybe there was a deviation, so he issued such a long decree, explaining that he was 'cautious and cautious'."

"It stands to reason that the emperor has to suspend executions and even pardon some of the people who are waiting to be hooked, so as to show his cautious heart to the heavens and appease the wrath of the heavens."

Concubine Xin took a deep breath as she spoke, her nose became a little sore, "If my brother-in-law is still alive, how wonderful it would be... Maybe my brother-in-law will be among the people pardoned by the emperor. It's a pity that my brother-in-law has died If you are not alive, even if the September incident happened, it would have caught up with the solar and lunar eclipses, but it was useless after all."

Hearing Concubine Xin's melancholy, Le Rong's ears suddenly rang.

Concubine Xin felt something strange in Le Rong's expression, and her heart skipped a beat.

The master and servant looked at each other, each thinking of the other person!
Concubine Xin's whole body was about to stand up. She grabbed the neckline tightly and stared at Le Rong, "... Your Majesty, he should just introspect to the heavens, right? He wouldn't want to find out such a thing for an auspicious occasion." The reason for this is not to turn the reason of the loss of the sun and the moon into an excuse to pardon auspicious celebrations, is it?"

Le Rong also took a deep breath, "This servant also hopes... Otherwise, wouldn't the emperor be too unfair to Lord Ji Qing?"

"It's also against the master...it's so unfair."
.
Concubine Xin held her breath in her throat, rumbling up and down, but she stared at Le Rong's face, unable to say anything.

They are also relatives of the inner court chiefs, both have committed capital crimes, and are also servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who have served for many years... Why is there such a big difference between the emperor's treatment of Ji Qing and An Ning?

Even though she, Wei Wanxi, is a noble concubine, and now she is about to give birth; but she is also a concubine, and she also gave birth to an heir for the emperor!

Le Rong saw that Concubine Xin was like this, so she hurriedly knelt down in shock, "Master, don't be so angry... This slave is talking too much, the facts must not be as the slave just guessed! Master at least let it go, maybe it really is true The slave was wrong."

Hearing the sound, Le Yi also hurried in, and stretched out her hands together with Le Rong, one helping Concubine Xin caress her heart, and the other patting her back.

It was only now that Concubine Xin managed to get over it in one breath, but the circles of her eyes were already turning red.

"Where's the empress? Isn't she also in the palace? Didn't she let us know? She should know how much I care about such a thing. If she could know earlier in the palace , why didn't you tell me to prepare my heart earlier?"

Le Rong and Le Yi looked at each other, both of them were sad.

This queen, who just came to their palace, personally picked off the heat in their master's heart, but why did she turn her head and go back to the palace, and never came back to the garden again?
Le Yi couldn't help but said, "... Isn't it because the Queen's master accompanied the emperor back to the palace alone, so can she serve the emperor alone? It means that the emperor is always in the palace, in the garden, and in the Jingyi Garden." Run, but I'm afraid that the queen will be too happy to leave in the palace, right?"

Concubine Xin raised her eyebrows, then lowered her eyes heavily, and nodded.

"I want to regain favor, but why doesn't she want to? She is the queen of the palace, how can she be willing to be a queen who has fallen out of favor; besides, she has to consider it for her twelfth elder brother. If she falls out of favor, even the twelfth elder brother Brother is the son of the eldest son, but the emperor might not want to see her anymore... Besides, what age is she this year, she is approaching fifty, and she will soon be unable to serve her bed anymore. She is more impatient now than I am. Go!"

Concubine Xin raised her eyes wearily, and looked at Le Rong and Le Yi: "You are right, she said she wanted to flatter me, but she didn't just think about me after all; she wanted to use me to win the fight against Concubine Ling. Go, she can take this opportunity to share the favor of the emperor... Now she is in the palace, serving the emperor alone, even if the emperor returns to conspire with criminals, it is a bit unlucky, but she is not shy when thinking about it. You must be able to earn more or less money for one or two nights."

"She herself is in the honeypot, so she doesn't care about me, who is in dire straits. She is in the palace, and she might forget about me and what she said to me... ..."

Le Rong and Yue Yi looked at each other sadly.

Le Rong said sadly, "It seems that even the Queen's master, we don't even dare to expect to go."

Concubine Xin slowly sat up straight, "You're right, in this harem, who is really thinking of other people? It's just for mutual use, but it's for oneself after all!"

"Until now, I can see it clearly. Concubine Yu is unreliable, and nobleman Lan can't be counted on. This empress... huh, huh, let's forget it!"

How could Concubine Xin forget that she was also a member of the Queen's Palace back then.How the queen has treated her these years, she can remember in her heart, but it just comes and goes as soon as she is called.When you need it, you can speak better than you can sing. When you don't need it, who cares whether you live or die, but let her fend for herself.

Concubine Xin raised her eyes, "...I don't count on anyone anymore, I still can only count on myself! I don't believe it anymore, relying on myself, I can't survive desperately and get back the emperor's favor! "

"The queen is right in saying something. From now on, it will take half a year for the concubine Ling to give birth to her child and take care of her body. I don't believe that in such a long half a year, the emperor will really be able to endure it. Whose brand is it?" It's all over!"
.
It was November, and because of the empress dowager's birthday and the New Year's etiquette, it was time for the royal family to return from the Old Summer Palace to the Forbidden City.

This year, Wanxi traveled south with the emperor in the first lunar month, and after returning to Beijing in May, Wanxi has been living in the Old Summer Palace.By November at this time, he hadn't returned to the palace for almost a whole year.

Now that I think about it, I still really miss it.

On the fourth day of November, the emperor personally served the empress dowager, led the harem, and returned to the Forbidden City.

The emperor naturally wanted to send the empress dowager back to Shoukang Palace first, so Wanxi naturally went to Yongshou Palace.

After returning to the gate of Yongshou Palace, Wanxi heard Yu Rui whisper before she could open the car curtain, "Oh...why are you still putting on airs? How do we get in?"

Wanxi was also surprised in her heart, so she called Yuchan softly.

But Yuchan also hesitated for a moment, then raised the sedan chair curtain, but stood sideways at the door of the sedan chair, deliberately blocking Wanxi's sight, and said softly, "...I think it's because of the empress dowager's birthday Over the years, we have built colored gates and hung colorful pieces in the palace. Master, please remember that every time our palace gates are accompanied by lanterns and colorful decorations."

Although Wanxi nodded, she knew something was different, so she deliberately turned her eyes away and looked outside.

Seeing this, even Wanxi was somewhat unexpected.

——It turns out that there is a shelf in front of the Yongshou Gate, but the shelf is not necessarily for piercing the door and hanging the colorful pieces. Looking at the dim color of the Yongshou Gate, it is clear that the craftsmen have worn away the palace a long time ago. The original color painting on the door means it is being repaired!

This Yongshou Palace has been repaired by Wanxi when she entered the seal, and it has been more than ten years now.What's more, in the renovation of Yongshou Palace, the emperor also adopted the principle of "repairing the old as old", so that everything in Yongshou Palace has a familiar taste, which makes the colors look less bright and blinking; The original soft tone has indeed become a little dull.

Thinking about it this way, the renovation of Yongshou Palace is also a reasonable thing.

It's just...why is it the day to return to the palace, and the Yongshou Palace has not been completed yet?
The emperor is not such a casual person, not to mention that she has not lived in the palace for almost a whole year. If she wanted to repair it, it should have been done long ago. At least the date of her return to the palace must be calculated and completed in advance. is.

Besides, when she came back this time, she was going to give birth in the palace.If it has just been painted, how can it be suitable for her to give birth to a child here?

At this moment, even Wanxi couldn't recover, she couldn't figure out what the emperor meant.Such a delay was not a short time, and the emperor who was sent to see off the empress dowager had finished his work, and just in time to come back, he caught up.

The emperor lowered his shoulders with an innocent face, walked over to support Wanxi's shoulders, and naturally put his other hand around Wanxi's waist, and asked softly, "...Why are you still standing here and not returning to your own palace? Although Yuanzi said It’s not far, but it’s been a long time since I’ve walked there, so I should be tired, so I should rest earlier.”

The emperor looked up at the sky as he spoke, and said seriously, "It's so cold, it looks like it's going to snow soon. You silly girl, why are you still standing in the air gap between the palace walls?"
.
Rao Wanxi, seeing the emperor's expression and hearing such words, couldn't help but feel aggrieved.

But Wanxi can't complain in front of the emperor, and she can't help but slander her father, saying to herself, "...my father has such big eyes in vain, don't you see it? What's the situation in front of you, how do you tell me to get in?"

Seeing Wanxi's expression, Yurui felt as if her heart had been pinched. She hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, "It's all slaves, Ama, who can't do their job properly!"

Among the ministers in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, each has a division of labor. Debao originally took over Fu Heng's errands, in charge of the Fengchen Courtyard, and in charge of the repairs of the palaces and gardens.If the Yongshou Palace is not repaired neatly, it is the duty of Debao.

Wanxi has no strength, and Yurui has no strength.She also couldn't figure out what happened to her Ahma this time, she just couldn't finish her errands, couldn't she talk to her earlier?
This time, Ama didn't reveal a single word to her. How could she explain to her sister, and how could she face the emperor?

She also couldn't help muttering in her heart, "My good Nama, you didn't handle the errands of Annan as an envoy, and asked the emperor to demote him to three ranks, so that you even lost the job of the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs; you If we learn some lessons, at least there will be no mistakes in the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

"But why not only did something go wrong this time, it even happened here in Yongshou Palace!"

Seeing that Yurui was in a hurry, Wanxi hurriedly said, "...the emperor has misunderstood, why does the slave not enter the palace? As for the slave, it is because it has been every time for almost a whole year, so I can't help it." Stand at the gate of the palace and take a good look at the Yongshou Palace that the emperor gave the slaves to live in."

Wanxi didn't tell the emperor clearly before, just to protect Debao.

Wanxi acted like a baby on purpose, and stretched out her small hand to hook the emperor's big hand, "Besides, the slave also misses the emperor, doesn't he? The slave just thought, just like when I was a child, standing in the palace wall and waiting deliberately The emperor is back..."

"Even if it's already cold today, don't be afraid. The servant is dressed thickly. Not to mention the hand stove in the sleeve, Yu Rui is even more considerate. She even asked her to put a foot stove on the floor of the sedan chair for her." The slave's feet are roasting, and there is no place around his body to be cold."

As Wanxi said, she hurriedly winked at Yurui quietly, telling Yurui not to take the blame on her Ama.
.
The little hand in the emperor's palm is quite useful.

Then he nodded and smiled, "So you miss me? That's as it should be, so I take back what I said before, I'm so happy to tell you to wait."

The emperor smiled warmly as he spoke, and looked down at Yurui, "Get up too, don't be so uneasy. I know in my heart that if you, Ama, made a mistake, you should be punished; but if there is no mistake, I will punish you myself." No penalty."

The emperor deliberately raised his head while speaking, looked seriously at the Yongshou Palace, which was still a little far from completion, nodded and said, "I think that Debao has done a good job this time."

After the emperor said so, Wanxi suppressed her worries, no matter what happened at this moment, she had to take care of Debao first.

Besides, this lacquer is all lacquer, which is the sap in the tree, so it doesn't matter if you think about it...

Wanxi gritted her teeth and made up her mind, and she was about to take a step towards the Yongshou Gate.
.
"Hey? Where are you going?" The emperor carefully stretched out his hand to grab Wanxi, and brought Wanxi back to his arms firmly, "...Silly girl, I went wrong!"

Wanxi was really stupid, her mind was not enough, she could only stare blankly at the emperor.

"...What's wrong?"

The bedroom where I have lived for so many years has long been the home of myself and the emperor, but I haven't come back for nearly a year, so why did I go wrong?
The emperor smiled triumphantly, but deliberately turned his head to ask Gao Yuncong, "What did you say? Could it be that you haven't returned to your concubine and master yet?"

Gao Yuncong was also dumbfounded, but he was clever, and he quickly knelt down on the ground, "...it's the slave who forgot about it, and the slave is punished with death!"

The emperor didn't do any illustrations, just glanced at Wanxi leisurely with his long eyes, and just used his body to block Wanxi from the cool wind in the narrow alley, so as not to catch her cold.

Wanxi couldn't bear to call Gao Yuncong like this, so she asked softly, "Don't worry, what's the matter?"

Gao Yun first glanced at the emperor carefully.

The emperor suppressed a smile and quickly squeezed his eyes.

Gao Yun got the idea in his heart, so he knelt on both knees and knocked his head on the ground.

"Go back to the noble concubine and master... The emperor originally asked the servant to inform the noble concubine and master before the noble concubine and master returned to the palace, saying that the noble concubine and master don't have to go back to Yongshou Palace, just move to Chuxiu Palace!"
.
It was only then that Wanxi was completely stunned, and she didn't slow down for a long time.

Then raised his eyes to look at the emperor, the narrow smile on the emperor's face could no longer be concealed.

Wanxi blushed immediately, and lightly waved her hands, "Oh, Your Majesty!"

The emperor finally laughed loosely, supported Wanxi and said, "Let's go, Master will accompany you into Chuxiu Palace!"

Chuxiu Palace is not far from Yongshou Palace, and there is only Yikun Palace in between where Nala lived.

Wanxi walked in with the emperor, and when she looked up, she saw a four-character plaque with the words "Mao Xiu Nei Zhi" inscribed by the emperor in the sixth year of Qianlong's reign hanging in the front hall.

Maoxiu means diligent practice; internal governance means rituals for harem women.

All the lords in the harem have the rule of "working hard at their jobs".Therefore, those who can say "internal governance" are the meaning of the leader's six palaces.

What's more, hanging on the left and right walls of the main hall are the "Sacred Book of Teaching Silkworms in Xiling", and "Picture of Teaching Silkworms in Xiling" hanging on the west wall... If you talk so much about being close to silkworms, ordinary concubines are not qualified .

If this is the case, it is no wonder that when the emperor first came to the throne, Xiaoxian, the wife of the Yuan Dynasty, lived in Chuxiu Palace; and when Empress Xiaoxian cared more about the word "Changchun", she asked to move into Changchun Palace. That is to ask Gao Yunsi to live in Chuxiu Palace.

The status of Chuxiu Palace, among the six east and west palaces, is outstanding.

This plaque is also in line with the identity of Huang Huixian, who was the only concubine first conferred at the time. At that time, Gao Yunsi was also in the position of concubine, only under the empress.

Also from Baoyi, Gao Yunsi's mother's family has already raised the flag, out of Baoyi, and was promoted by the late emperor as the side Fujin when the emperor buried his residence. It is said that he can be regarded as a "second wife", but after all, because of her Han surname Because of her status and her family's coat, she could only be a noble concubine throughout her life; she was posthumously named imperial concubine after her death.

Today's Wanxi is also in the position of imperial concubine, and also only under the empress.This time, it is more similar to the imperial concubine Huixian back then.

At this moment, Wanxi's heart turned a thousand times, she was happy, but she didn't sigh.

I think that when the imperial concubine Huixian left with resentment, it was the emperor who first bestowed the word "Xian" on her, and instead asked Empress Xiaoxian to ask for the same word as a title... But after all, throughout her life, the imperial concubine Huixian always Du Zhihui lived in the hands of Empress Xiaoxian, and was once favored by Empress Dowager Xiaoxian. After all, he never conceived a child.

The struggle between the empress and the imperial concubine, between the first wife and the second wife, ended with the empress winning and the imperial concubine dying.

Concubine Huixian's death is even more desolate, not to mention having no son and daughter, her mother's family, which was once prominent, has become more and more degraded as the days of her death go away.

Following the concubine Huixian's father, Gao Bin, who accompanied him to the execution ground, he died shortly after being frightened; The matter of selling seven catties of ginseng in Suzhou was ordered by the emperor.

The great favor during life and the situation after death are, after all, things that a harem woman has to consider when she reaches her age.Wanxi herself is at the top of the imperial concubine right now, and even if she moves into the Chuxiu Palace today, she doesn't dare to relax in the slightest.

If Yongshou Palace represents the "loved concubine", then Chuxiu Palace represents "Chongban" (high position). Now that she has moved from Yongshou Palace to Chuxiu Palace, the emperor's intentions are self-evident; There is a little secret joy, only to be more cautious.

In this harem, the person who poses the biggest threat to the empress is the one who ranks second only to the empress.Back then she was the noble concubine Huixian, but today she is Wanxi herself.

As long as there is such a status, the struggle between the imperial concubine and the queen is inevitable.She will never repeat the mistakes of the imperial concubine Huixian.

... In the second contest between the noble concubine and the empress, the position of the noble concubine should never be lost again.

She is not only protecting herself, but also her children.
.
Wanxi's expression fell into the emperor's eyes.

How could the emperor not understand, but at this moment he smiled lightly, "Don't worry, there is a master for everything. The purpose of the master is to choose a suitable place for our child to be born."

"Think about it, before our Yuanzi was born, the Lord moved you into the "Heaven and Earth Family Spring" in the garden, and asked us Yuanzi to be born there in a stable manner; then our child, since it is going to be this month, is it right? Those who should have been born in the palace should not be wronged, should they?"

The emperor grabbed Wanxi's hand, raised it to his lips, and kissed the back of Wanxi's hand.

"In the Old Summer Palace, the inner court is headed by Tiandi Family Chun; in the palace, the East and West Palaces are headed by Chuxiu Palace. Therefore, after returning to Beijing, the Lord ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to tidy up the Chuxiu Palace and give it to our child. It's the place where I was born. It also saves the two brothers from fighting in the future. I'm going to be Ama's, so I'll have a bowl of water to level it~"

The emperor tilted his head childishly, and glanced at Wanxi with a smile, "My lord arranged it, okay?"
