Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2423 Seven Volumes 126 Heart Fire
The emperor was calm.

"Well, she is a beautiful girl from the Eight Banners family, so she shouldn't be introduced by the maid of the Ministry of Internal Affairs this year." The emperor raised his eyes and stared at Nala, "She is from the one from last year."

Nala's heart flickered again.

"Last year? Last year was the introduction period for Eight Banners women, but the emperor did not officially select them last year..." Nala also stared into the emperor's eyes, "Did the emperor say that there is no need to choose last year?"

The emperor nodded, "Introduced by the beautiful girls of the Eight Banners, I mostly marry the princes, grandsons, and close clans. Last year, all the princes who were adults were married. If we talk about the elders, it is Yong Xing and Yong Xing. Excuse me. But the two of them have not yet reached the age of marriage, counting the days, the next time the Eight Banners women choose to be in 30 years, it is just right."

"There are no princes and year-old marriages in the palace, and there is no urgent need for marriages in the nearby clan. As for myself, at this age, I am too lazy, so I thought of simply stopping for a year."

"But..." The emperor narrowed his long eyes slightly, and looked up at Nala, "Although I think so, the ministers are in a hurry. I can wait for another three years, but after all, the honorable family will also have something to do." Women who are old enough can't wait any longer. Some of them are even over. If I don't choose, it will delay them for another three years. Therefore, I still read the list submitted by their respective mothers. "

Nala's heart stopped, "This girl from Empress Xiaoxian's family is already seventeen, can't wait any longer?"

The emperor nodded, "That's exactly what happened. That's why I chose it. It happened to be selected this year with the maid of the inner palace, and they were sent to the palace for placement."
.
Nala's throat was a little congested, so he just laughed.

"That's right, Empress Xiaoxian's mother's house is also Empress Danchan. The girls from that family must be registered separately and sent to the emperor's eyes alone. The emperor has to take care of it even if he doesn't want to choose her." Empress Xiaoxian's face will go away, won't she?"

"But then again, it doesn't matter if the emperor chooses it. After all, the women of the Eight Banners over the years were not selected only for the harem. Most of them were married to the princes, grandchildren and close clans. Over the years, there have been many stories about the marriage between Empress Xiaoxian's mother's family and our royal family. Not to mention the fourth princess married by our royal family, Duo Luogege of Yujun Wang Hongqing, just say that their family married into Fujin, There are quite a few children."

The Fujin of the emperor's sixth son, Yong Rong, is the daughter of Empress Xiaoxian's brother, Fu Qian, and the niece and daughter of Empress Xiaoxian; it is a pity that Yong Rong is heir.

There is also Xiuling, the son of Xinjun Wang Dezhao, and his first-in-law Fujin is the daughter of Chengen Gong Fuwen, the niece of Empress Xiaoxian, and the niece of the first-line Dazong; He didn't get into the eyes of the emperor, and he failed to inherit his father's King Xin. He watched helplessly as the title of King Xin was given to Rusong, and he himself only picked up Rusong's original Duke.

In this way, although these nieces and daughters of Empress Xiaoxian's family also married into the royal family, they were not married well.

These daughters of the Fucha family were also chosen by the emperor when the women of the Eight Banners were selected, and they were married to the princes and clans.Then the Fucha family mentioned by the emperor is just another daughter of the Fucha family. With the previous examples, Nala doesn't care about it.

Nala raised her eyes leisurely and looked at the emperor, "I don't know which family this Fucha is the daughter of Empress Xiaoxian's mother's family?"

Hearing Nala's question, the emperor said slowly, "...Speaking of it, it's closer to Fujin who can't last forever and cultivate age. This Fucha family is the great-granddaughter of Ma Qi, Xiaoxian's second uncle. In terms of seniority, she is Xiaoxian's grandnephew and daughter."

Nala's heart was even more relieved, so she clapped her hands and chuckled, "Since that's the case, it's easier to handle. The emperor can marry to a nearby clan. Even if there is no one of the same age at present, it's okay Point to marriage first, at worst, take him into the palace to wait for the new year; when the time is right, point out that it will not be too late to get married!"

The emperor actually laughed out loud, and stared at Nala with long eyes, "She is already seventeen, and she still wants to enter the palace to wait for the new year?"

Knowing that she had made a slip of the tongue, Nala hurriedly said, "The concubine's identity means... There are always some children in the clan, such as Ding You, who are in mourning and have not yet taken off their uniforms. Therefore, although they are of the same age, it is not convenient for them to marry. So let's choose first." Those who are of the same age point to marriage, and they will get married after the three-year filial piety expires."

The emperor also nodded slowly, "Well, what the queen said is very true, the queen is really thoughtful."

The emperor lowered his eyes, and tapped his slender fingers on his legs.

"However, their family members said that although this girl is Xiaoxian's grand-nephew, her appearance is the most similar to Xiaoxian's. Even more similar than Xiaoxian's two nieces and nieces."

Nala's heart suddenly rose, and her voice couldn't help becoming a little sharp, "Then what is the emperor thinking? Could it be that the emperor is optimistic about it and likes it, so he wants to go to the harem?"

The emperor just smiled, and there was a trace of naughtiness in his smile.

"The one who knows me is the queen! I chose Xiaoxian's two nieces in the past, and only married them to the prince and the clan. But since this girl has a reputation similar to Xiaoxian, then I will not marry her." It can no longer be allocated to others, it should be taken into the palace."

Nala stared at the emperor with gritted teeth, and was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.

However, the emperor tenderly took Nala's hand and patted it lightly, "The Queen's selection of the servant girl of the House of Internal Affairs has been done very well, and I am very satisfied. Then I will also ask the Queen to ask for help, so I will also take care of her." This Fucha family, please settle into the palace."
.
Nala tried her best to endure it, but the anger finally burst out from the cracks in her bones, causing her shoulders to tremble uncontrollably.

From her point of view, the emperor just couldn't forget Empress Xiaoxian, so he found another Empress Xiaoxian's shadow to put in the palace!

In Nala's life, from the side Fujin when she was buried in the mansion to the time when she entered the palace, her original status should only be lower than that of Empress Xiaoxian.

Although the emperor ascended the throne in the early years, the imperial concubine Huixian was the first imperial concubine, and her status was higher than that of the Nala family; but because of the origin of the imperial concubine Huixian, the Nala family did not take the imperial concubine Huixian seriously at all. !In her eyes, in the entire harem, the only person who is qualified to be higher than her is Xiaoxian, the wife of the Yuan Dynasty.

Therefore, the eyebrows and eyes of Empress Xiaoxian can be said to be a nightmare for her.For more than ten years, she had managed to no longer have to face the face of Empress Xiaoxian, but why did the emperor choose a younger Fucha family who looked like Empress Xiaoxian to enter the palace!
But these were the words in her heart, no matter how dissatisfied she was, she couldn't express it in front of the emperor.

She just sneered, "...the emperor told me to settle her? Ha, I was stunned for a moment, but I don't know where to settle her!"

"Since she is the grand-nephew of Empress Xiaoxian, is she going to be arranged to enter Changchun Palace? It's a pity that the emperor didn't say that Changchun Palace is only for Empress Xiaoxian and Huixian, Zhemin, Shujia, and Chunhui. go?"

A thought suddenly rose up in Nala's mind, "How about putting her in Chuxiu Palace, okay?"

"After all, Empress Xiaoxian also lived in Chuxiu Palace; today's owner of Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Ling, was also a daughter of Empress Xiaoxian in the past, so she is so close to this little Fucha family. !"

Nalashi hated and was jealous, although he tried his best to restrain himself, he almost lost his composure.

The emperor was leisurely and leisurely, squinting his long eyes, looking at such a queen.

Now they are no longer a young couple, one is fifty and three, and the other is over 45.Looking at each other like this, who can't understand who anymore?
So the emperor just smiled after hearing this, "Changchun Palace is not suitable, and Chuxiu Palace is not suitable either. The empress said well, since this girl is from Empress Danchan, she should not be placed in any palace where the main position is. To learn the rules in the middle palace is the only way to do it.”

"I've made a decision: let her learn the rules from the queen."
.
Going around, the emperor still put the Fucha family in her palace!Just put it under her nose, let her see Tian'er looking at the face that looks like Empress Xiaoxian, huh?

Nala's heart twitched, his eyes darkened with confusion.

She tried her best to hold on, standing tall in front of the emperor, not wanting the emperor to see how she was hurt by him...

"The emperor's arrangement is justified. Who made me the queen of the emperor's palace! But then again, has the emperor forgotten how many people live in my palace now? Concubine Shen and Concubine Rong don't say anything , and Lin Guiren from the past... the emperor wants to put another little Fucha family in, and the emperor wants to tell me how to move around in the palace?"

"Although I am a queen, the palace I live in should be the middle palace. But after all, this middle palace is not the former Kunning Palace. How can there be so many places! After all, my Yikun Palace is as close as this thing is." Other than the other palaces in the palace, except for the different furnishings, the space is about the same size!"

"But there are so many people in my palace; especially Concubine Rong, who has the most work, and even the dining room, tea room, and storeroom have to be allocated separately for her, and walls have to be built to separate them. There is no room for pork. Mix it with mutton, lard and mutton! Then in my palace, your majesty, you should give it a try. If you have time, let it go to this newcomer from Empress Xiaoxian Danchan! "

Nala's resentment was so full of resentment, but the emperor only smiled lightly.

"Look at what the queen said, it seems that you live in the palace all day long. We only go back to the palace on New Year's Day, or when there are important celebrations; the rest of the year Most of the days are in the Old Summer Palace. In autumn, I went to Rehe. Calculated in this way, the days in the palace will not exceed half a year, so why are you so sad?"

Nala gritted her teeth, "...For that matter, my palace is at least a central palace, so I can't just cram so many people in like a big gathering!"

The emperor raised his eyes lightly, "I haven't finished my words yet, why are you in a hurry! I said to put this Fucha family in your palace, but I didn't say that I should remove people from your palace first to make room Come here."

Nala stared at the emperor with squinted eyes, "The emperor has already made up his mind? Who is the emperor planning to move?"

The emperor deliberately did not speak in a hurry, but blinked first.

After waiting until Nala could hardly hold back anymore, the corners of the emperor's lips curled up, "... I know, the one you are most frustrated with is Concubine Rong. As you said just now, Concubine Rong has the most rules, It takes up the most space. That's it, I'll move Concubine Rong out."

Nala's heart was like a closed window, and it opened with a clatter, "The emperor has already decided to move Concubine Rong out? That's great!"

The emperor snorted softly, "After all, the two of us just negotiated to put Nisha, who has just entered the palace this year, under the concubine's seat. It will be even more unbearable, and it's time to move out."

Nala smiled and said without thinking, "The Yongshou Palace just happens to be empty! I remember that the list of silver taels for the repair of the Yongshou Palace was submitted on November 27 last year, which means that by the end of last year at the latest, the Yongshou Palace The palace has already been repaired. If it is empty, it is also empty, so you can point it to Concubine Rong to live in!"

Although Concubine Ling has moved into Chuxiu Palace at this time, and the meaning of Chuxiu Palace is more important than Yongshou Palace, when Nala thinks of the various restrictions in Yongshou Palace, those dragon-shaped shadow walls, those glass walls Bright window, besides, it is the closest to the Hall of Mental Cultivation!Therefore, when she thinks that someone else has finally moved into Yongshou Palace, she always feels a little happy in her heart.

The emperor lowered his eyes lightly, "Who said that Yongshou Palace is unoccupied? Although the imperial concubine has moved into Chuxiu Palace, Jiujiu still lives in Yongshou Palace. Jiujiu misses Yongshou Palace, and is afraid of the dark at night, and also afraid of changing the palace. The only way to make her feel at ease is to live in the Yongshou Palace."

Although it was already tacit understanding between Wanxi and Concubine Rong that Jiujiu was entrusted to Concubine Rong to be raised.But because Concubine Rong was still living with the Nala clan, and because Concubine Rong was a member of the Ministry of Hui, the emperor never clearly ordered Concubine Rong to formally raise Jiujiu.Therefore, Jiujiu still lives in Yongshou Palace.

Nala raised her eyebrows, "there are rules in the palace. After the princes reach the age of five and enter school, they can no longer live with their biological mother and have to move into elder brother's place; the same is true for princesses. The princess is going to be on her fifth birthday soon, according to the rules, after her birthday in July, she should move into the residence, so the Palace of Eternal Life will be vacant again."

The emperor raised his voice and smiled, "The princess should also move into the residence, it's true. It's just that the princesses were raised in the Zhaoxiang residence in the past...but now Yongqi's family lives in the Zhaoxiang residence. You suddenly said that you want to move, but where do you want to move Yongqi?"

It's okay if you don't talk about this, but when you talk about this, Nala's heart is ignited again.

This Yong Qi, even after her wedding, the emperor didn't ask the sub-fu to leave the palace, she still stayed in the palace! ——In this way, people are always worried, the emperor still prefers Yongqi.If Yongqi doesn't leave the palace for a day, then Yongqi's threat to Yongzhen can't be resolved for a day!

Nala slowly bowed her head, "...Yongqi is also in her 20s, the emperor is worried that Yongqi will become an Ama by herself. The emperor should arrange for Yongqi to leave the palace earlier It’s good to go to the branch office. When Yongqi moves out, Zhaoxiang’s house will be vacant again, and naturally the princesses can move in again.”

The emperor smiled "ha", "It's not in a hurry. Yongqi just got another daughter, and now his family can't move."

The emperor got up and walked over, and patted Nala's arm, "What the queen said earlier is right. Although there is Jiujiu living in the Yongshou Palace, there is no inner court master yet. Then ask Concubine Rong to move in."

The emperor's long eyes flickered slightly, "It's just that I didn't give Concubine Rong to live in this Yongshou Palace. I just asked Concubine Rong to move in so that it would be convenient to help take care of Jiujiu, and save her from living in such a big yard as a girl. I'm even more afraid of going in the dark. It's better to be more lively!"

The emperor punched and rubbed like this, at this moment, Nalashi couldn't tell whether she should be happy or sad.

But she is not stupid, she can still tell that the emperor is talking to her, to break the boredom.

Your Majesty, it's not that you don't agree with what she said earlier, your Majesty can move Concubine Rong to live in Yongshou Palace.The emperor is just - unwilling to formally bestow Yongshou Palace to Concubine Rong!
What the emperor wanted was: after Concubine Ling moved out of the Yongshou Palace, no matter how habitable it was, there would no longer be a lord of the palace.

Nala raised her eyes to focus on the emperor, and said lightly, "The emperor doesn't want to call the plaque in the Yongshou Palace, the word 'Ling Yi Shude' changed hands! Although the imperial concubine Ling has been moved out, the emperor is in Qianlong. It has been decreed in six years that people can move it, but the plaque cannot be moved forever! In the Palace of Eternal Life, there will only be a word 'Ling' hanging above its head forever and ever, and it will never be changed!"

The emperor raised his eyebrows lightly, patted Nala on the shoulder and said, "...Empress, in the sixth year of Qianlong, you would have thought that one day the imperial concubine Ling would move out of Yongshou Palace, but she would move into Chuxiu Palace. What, huh?"

Narashi looked up eagerly.

What does the emperor mean by this!
However, if we go back to the sixth year of Qianlong, Wei Wanxi at that time had just been enfeoffed.Although Chufeng is a nobleman, and she was promoted to concubine after only one month in the position of nobleman... But she never thought that Wei Wanxi would move out of Yongshou Palace and move into Chuxiu Palace one day!
A woman with the Han surname from Xinzheku has never surpassed the concubine position in the history of the Qing Dynasty!The Chuxiu Palace is the Imperial Concubine's Palace, and at first it was the Queen's Palace! .
The weather is getting hotter day by day, and because of the lack of rain this spring, even the Old Summer Palace, which has always been favored by the royal family for its luxuriant flowers and trees and abundant water vapor, is showing a thirsty look.

Even at night, the guards and guards who patrol the night have to shout an extra time, "The sky is dry and the things are dry, be careful of the fire and candles".

Wanxi also specially instructed her mother on the lights in the palace to make sure that the lights were all extinguished every night, and then splashed with water before she could rest.

Since the emperor gave the order to pray for rain again, Yong Qi also got busy.

When he entered the palace that day, he had already arranged everything about praying for rain, and was about to ask the emperor for instructions.Unfortunately, the emperor went to the Changchun Garden to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager, but he was not in Jiuzhou Qingyan.

Yong Qi turned around and came out.

The sun above his head was like a ball of fire. This Jiuzhou Qingyan was originally on the edge of the back lake, but because of the lack of rain this spring, the ground was like a piece of scorched earth.A bright white light shot towards Yong Qi's eyes without any hindrance, and Yong Qi hurriedly closed her eyes to avoid it.

It was so dry that even the guards and eunuchs who served in Qingyanli of Jiuzhou hid in the eaves of the corridor, no one stood under the sun.

This year, the reed pergola that was erected in June last year was prepared in advance. After the ceremony of the emperor praying for rain again, if the rain is not soaked, it will be held in the Qingyan Palace in Jiuzhou. The front eaves also set up a reed pergola first to block the sun.

Yongqi walked by the pile of reed sheds, and suddenly saw a curl of light smoke faintly rising from the heap of reed sheds.

Because the smoke was too weak and the sunlight was too strong, the light white smoke was covered by the incandescent sunlight, so no one could see it for a while.

Yong Qi was slightly taken aback, and looked left and right, all the eunuchs and guards hid in the corridor to avoid the sun, and there was no one guarding the pile of reeds.

Yong Qi stood still, without making a sound, she just raised her foot and stomped a few times towards the light smoke, to stamp out the light smoke and that's all.
.
On the way back to her home, Yong Qi was a little lost in thought.

San De, the eunuch of Haha Bead who was serving beside him, glanced carefully, and couldn't help muttering softly, "...Fang Jiuzhou Qingyan almost ran into water, why didn't Elder Brother say a word? If it really caused a disaster, Elder Brother, what happened today How good is it to pass it to the emperor's ears?"

Yong Qi came back to her senses and stared at San De.

San De is one of the haha ​​bead eunuchs who have served him since he was a child, and there are three others named Si Shu, Wu Li, and Liu Yi.

It was his ambition, and it was his complacency about himself.

The three virtues, one is integrity, the other is rigidity, and the third is softness.

Yong Qi squinted at San De, her thoughts turned to the meaning of "Three Virtues", and said slowly, "...Roke."

San De's talent and learning are not yet at this level, so he can only say, "What did you say, elder brother? Use softness to overcome strength?"

Yong Qi smiled lightly, her spirits brightened, as if she already had some idea in her heart.

Yongqi walked out of the gate of the big palace, and then flew on the horse.San De kept shouting from behind, "Brother, please slow down, be careful and your legs hurt!"
.
Yongqi rode the horse and raised the whip all the way, returned to Zhaoxiang's office in high spirits, jumped off the horse, threw the whip to San De, and rushed into the door excitedly.

Since I came back last autumn, it has been a few days since I dared to ride a horse so happily.

My leg hurts, and it hurts inexplicably when I exert my strength on the horse.

The princes of the Qing Dynasty were not allowed to sit in sedan chairs no matter they came in or out, and could only ride horses.He was very tired of getting on the horse.

Fortunately, Mrs. Hu gave birth to a daughter for him this year, and because Mrs. Hu gave birth before the full term, the daughter was a little weak when she was born, which gave him a reason to avoid many errands.This means you don't have to force yourself to get on the horse all the time.

But now it's April, and he was worried about what to do when autumn came.He just didn't need to compete in riding and archery. He just rode from the capital to Rehe and then entered the paddock.

Fortunately, since the beginning of spring, the weather has been very fine, and his leg seems to be showing some signs of relief.

But today, he let go of his courage and galloped like this for a while, and his legs were as good as before, without any pain at all!
