Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2436 Seven Volumes 139
No matter what, Yongqi, the fifth son of the emperor at this time, has become the de facto eldest son of the emperor.

Even the adult prince has the eighth elder brother Yongxuan, but Yongxuan has suffered from leg disease for many years, so Yongqi has almost become the only adult prince.

Moreover, in terms of bloodlines, Yongxuan was inherited because of half of the Korean blood, and Yongxuan, a compatriot of the same milk, has leg problems, so compared with Yongqi, he is even more disadvantaged.

"I'm glad that Xiaoshishi is still young at this moment; and at least there is still the twelfth elder brother born by the empress going forever."

Yu Rui spat, "He dares!"

"Why didn't he dare? He even dared to plot against the emperor and set the emperor's bedroom on fire, let alone Xiao Shiwu." Wanxi lowered her eyes lightly, "Even if he is not yet Well, after all, Xiao Shiwu is still young, so he still can't pose any threat to him. But... If Xiao Shiwu grows up a few years longer, I will really be worried."

Yu Rui sneered, "It depends on whether he understands the emperor's warning this time! I don't believe he doesn't understand the hidden rules in the matter of the prince wearing filial piety. He is his own uncle, the old Prince Yi Thirteenth Lord was The younger brother that the late emperor valued the most was the uncle whom all the princes of the late emperor should pay tribute to. But even if the old Prince Yi passed away, the princes would still wear filial piety, but naturally not all princes should wear filial piety, the late emperor had to choose among the princes A person who wears filial piety—you can guess the mind of the late emperor from the selection attitude of the late emperor."

"At that time, Hongshi was dead, and our emperor was already the de facto eldest son of the emperor. If the former emperor had a deep brotherly love for Prince Yi, he should have sent our emperor to wear filial piety... But the first emperor deliberately skipped Our emperor sent the filial piety worn by Hong Zhou, the fifth elder brother at that time. From that matter, no one in the former court and harem still understand, between our emperor and Hong Zhou, who did the late emperor choose?"

Wanxi raised her eyes quietly.

Yurui stared at Wanxi, "Besides, Prince Lu is an uncle to the fifth elder brother, not a direct uncle. The emperor always asks the fifth elder brother to wear filial piety—the emperor's meaning is already clear: fifth elder brother Brother has no hope of inheriting the great rule!"
.
Yu Rui is right, this has always been an unwritten rule in the palace, it is unprecedented for the emperor to ask Yong Qi to dress Prince Lu in filial piety.It was this year, the year when Xiao Shiwu successfully vaccinated the pox, the emperor already knew that Yong Qi should wear filial piety for his courtiers!

If it is said that Xiao Shiwu was young after all, and there was still the shadow of acne in front of all the princes, so the emperor's respect for Yongqi had not been completely extinguished... Then this year, Xiao Shiwu was successfully vaccinated. Right now, the emperor has formally ordered Yong Qi to wear filial piety for his courtiers, which is enough to show that the emperor has completely withdrawn his thoughts on Yong Qi.

Like Yongxie, Yongqi's wearing filial piety means that she has completely withdrawn from the competition for the reserve position.

Besides, the emperor defended Yongqi on the surface of the fire in Jiuzhou Qingyan, but how can the emperor not notice anything in his heart for more than two months?

If the emperor really recognized Yongqi's meritorious service, then after the fire incident, he should have clearly defined rewards and punishments. He had issued an order to punish all the guards, Luanyi Wei Zhangjing, and even the sibling prince; but why did the emperor not issue an order to reward Yongqi going?

Or even in private, the emperor never praised Yong Qi?

Wanxi understands that it's not that the emperor doesn't understand anything in his heart, the emperor just doesn't want to expose all this.

After all, the emperor is a father, he also wants to protect his son.As long as he himself was not injured, and the fire did not kill anyone else, his father would rather be dumb and eat coptis, and swallow the truth, just to protect his son.

So if Yong Qi can still wake up, he still has a chance to turn around.The emperor asked him to wear filial piety this time, which already told him to stop thinking about it.

If Yongqi is willing to repent of this, since he is a prince, he will definitely be crowned a prince in the future.Naturally, in this life, he can still be above ten thousand people, and he can still be prosperous and rich.

Based on the background of his mother Concubine Yu, it is not a low status for him to be a prince.Then he will wait for the division of the mansion in the future, waiting for Concubine Yu to be brought into his palace to serve him, so why not be stable and happy for the rest of his life?
Yong Qi has read poetry and books, and has been a smart child since he was a child. He will not know what the result will be if the prince dares to covet the throne and plot against his father for the sake of the throne.

Don't say that Yongqi is just the emperor's concubine, and has never been formally established as a heir; if it is Yunfeng, the deposed prince during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, what will happen to him?

That is the son of Emperor Kangxi who was brought up by himself like an eyeball since he was a child. He is officially registered as the crown prince, and he has been registered twice! ——Master Kangxi only wants to take one in a million, as long as he can find a little bit of forgiveness in Yunfeng, he will definitely not completely extinguish his desire to ask Yunfeng to inherit the big position.

In the end, the "straw" that crushed Lord Kangxi was the discovery that Yunfeng dared to spy in the big tent where Lord Kangxi was camping, and secretly hoped that his father would die early to seize his throne!

——What is the difference between what Yongqi did today and what Yunfeng did back then?How can Yongqi compare herself with Yunfeng back then?
Wanxi couldn't help sighing, "If he can understand the emperor's deep meaning this time, then what will be waiting in front of him in the future will still be wealth and glory for the rest of his life. If he is obsessed with his obsession..."

After all, Wanxi couldn't bear to speak anymore.

At that time, Yunfeng was imprisoned and guarded, and finally died in the place of confinement - Xian'an Palace.

"I hope Yongqi will not be obsessed with mistakes and make mistakes again and again. Don't have to repeat the mistakes of Yunfeng."

The emperor followed the example of Lord Kangxi in everything. Whether he climbed Mount Tai, went to the south of the Yangtze River, or the Autumn Ceremony, he followed what Lord Kangxi had done back then.

But Wanxi doesn't hope that in this dynasty, there will also be an unfilial son like Yunfeng who dares to covet the high position and wishes the emperor's father to die early.
.
On August 53, the emperor's [-]-year-old Longevity Day.

Wanxi made arrangements for birthday celebrations early on, and was supposed to send the prince to the Summer Resort.

At this time, the fourth elder brother Yongxuan and the fifth elder brother Yongqi were both in Beijing.Although they also wear filial piety for Prince Lu, because Yongxuan is an heir and grandson, he needs to wear filial piety for a hundred days; Yongqi can only wear it for one month.

Moreover, the funeral of the courtiers always has to give way to the emperor's Longevity Festival, so Yongqi wears it from July 21st to August [-]th, and Ruowanxi asks him to send birthday cakes to the emperor. You can take advantage of the situation and release it in advance.

Wanxi thought about it, but she still didn't ask him to go. She simply told him to wear it steadily from July 21st to August [-]th.It's been less than a month, so I shouldn't have told him to let go a few days earlier.

Wanxi weighed it up and entrusted the matter to Mian En.

At this time, in Prince Ding's mansion, the situation is also stalemate.Even if Mian En stayed in the mansion, Mian De's mother and son would have a target every day; on the contrary, Mian En was asked to leave for a while, so that Ding Wang's mansion could calm down a little.

Before Mian En left, Wanxi personally asked him to come into the palace and told him, "I know you feel wronged about the matter in the palace this time, and your mother and Fujin are also uneasy. Mian De must Noisy, but I have already ordered that they are not allowed to have any more troubles until the emperor returns to Luan to take care of the matter personally. Therefore, you can rest assured that you are leaving this time. I am asking people to keep an eye on the movement in the palace. , so that you will not have any worries."

Mian En listened to these few words of relief, the 17-year-old boy couldn't help but get red eyes at this moment.

Wanxi nodded, "I understand what's on your mind, but if you argue, argue, and investigate this matter yourself... then you will lose first. After all, Ah Rishan is not only your sister-in-law, but also the emperor's daughter-in-law." The granddaughter of the first relative, is our Qing's betrothed prince Fujin. You are a grandson of the emperor, and you don't have a title, how can you argue back?"

"In any case, you have to trust your royal grandfather. You can rest assured to leave these matters to your royal grandfather, and let your royal grandfather investigate and make a conclusion for you. Before your royal grandfather takes care of this matter, you don't care what you say or do. wisdom."

Mian En listened earnestly, then lifted her robe and knelt down, "The grandson could hardly hold back... After all, the grandson can do whatever he wants. It's my elder brother and sister-in-law, and I can bear it. , I, Fujin, will not let her go, if I can't even protect Er Niang and Fujin, will my life be a man in vain?"

"But now, after listening to Ling Niangniang, my heart is like a breeze blowing away the miasma, and I understand everything in my heart. The grandson should listen to Ling Niangniang, and endure everything for now, and wait for Huang Ma's father." decide."

Only then did Wanxi smile with relief, "I asked you to send the pastry this time, and that's what I meant. Seeing you coming back from Beijing, your father Huang Ma wanted to ask you about the affairs of the palace. Then these things are Hearing it from your mouth is better than asking your brother to go ahead and say something wrong. What do you think?"

Mian En understood all of this, and didn't know what to say, so she kowtowed on the ground.

Wanxi smiled and nodded, "Good boy, don't bother. You should go to your father Huang Ma to celebrate your birthday. This year, the prince is dying, and none of your uncles are in front of your father Huang Ma. You rush over there. I also want you to be happy at the birthday celebration of Father Huang Ma."
.
On August [-]th, the Longevity Day, Yongqi finally released her obedience ahead of schedule, and returned to Zhaoxiang's residence from Prince Lu's Mansion.

Wanxi asked Mian En to deliver the pastry, he already knew about it.On the way back to his home, thinking of this incident filled his heart with dissatisfaction with Wanxi.

He really didn't understand, based on the respect he showed to Concubine Ling when he was young, Concubine Ling liked him very much; besides, Yingyuan was his maid...whether it was because of the love back then or because of Yingyuan's relationship , Ling Guifei should treat him better.

But as for Concubine Ling, she first chose to help Yongxuan when he was in a secret fight with Yongxuan; Willing to give it to him, the ready-made prince!

"After much deliberation, after all, she also has a prince herself, so she gradually sees me as a thorn in her side."

San De, the eunuch with haha ​​beads beside him, could only sigh, "...Who said it wasn't? Even if the concubine and master don't look at anything, they should at least look at our Yingyuan Gege."

Maybe it was because of his feelings for Wanxi, when he returned to Zhaoxiang's office, he originally wanted to comfort Yingyuan who had just lost her child, but he still stopped.

As soon as he turned his head, he still headed towards the main hall first.

After all, E Ning is his Fujin, and E Bi is his father-in-law, so he should be respected.

E Ning didn't expect that elder brother would come to her first when he came back, she shed tears for her father, but her heart was still sweet.She even grabbed Yong Qi's robe sleeve, and fell into Yong Qi's arms crying, "My elder brother... You said that I am a man, why are you so blessed?"

Yong Qi also hugged E Ning's shoulders, patted comfortingly, "Father-in-law has passed away, so there is no need to say such things. After all, father-in-law got the posthumous title bestowed by Huang Ama and entered the Xianliang Temple, which is the best Your home is here, isn't it?"

E Ning would never give up on Elder Brother's sympathy for this moment, so she held on to Yongqi's robe sleeve even more tightly, "But I am not filial... As Ama's daughter, I pointed out to Elder Brother all these years, But there was never a day when Ama was able to let go of her heart. When Ama was alive, no matter whether she was in Shanxi or Shaanxi, no matter how far away she was, she would never let go of my daughter...Ama asked countless times in her family letters I, did I do something wrong to make my elder brother unhappy, that's why I haven't been able to give birth to a son and a half in these years."

"My Ama said that his greatest wish in this life is to be a grandfather, waiting for our child, call him grandfather..."

Yong Qi frowned when she heard that, "I understand. I just didn't expect that the old man would go so early... After all, the old man was still at the right age, and Huang Ama wanted to use him again. .”

E Ning wept softly, "My elder brother's love for me, I will definitely convey it in front of Amma's grave. Elder brother, I will take my place here first, and thank elder brother for his kindness."

Yong Qi also felt uncomfortable, sighed and said, "Look at you, why bother to say such a thing? You are my son-in-law Fujin, a husband and wife, so why should you be so polite?"

E Ning raised her head high and stared fixedly at Yong Qi, "But Elder Brother is a prince, and in my heart I have never regarded Elder Brother only as my husband. In my heart, Elder Brother is my first. Master, after that will be my husband."

E Ning's words made Yong Qi feel a lot better, so she put her arms around E Ning, cupped her face and kissed her.

After all, from June to this time, he didn't bring any female relatives with him, and he hadn't touched himself for two months.It was the time when he was young and strong, and after this kiss, he became a little emotional.

E Ning hugged her tightly, and responded proactively...

At the time when the two were inseparable, Yingyuan and Hu Borong got the letter outside, so they came to pay their respects together.It is hot in August, and there are curtains on the door, and they are all transparent bamboo curtains.Therefore, before the two of them entered the door, they were already watched through the bamboo curtain.

Both of them were embarrassed, they looked at each other, they both stood at the door, and grabbed their hands.

Hu Borong said in his heart that Yingyuan was the most heartbroken.

At this moment, Yinhuan, who was sitting under E Ning, saw the two of them, hurriedly greeted them from the door, and said in a low voice, "Go back to Gege, Elder Brother is here. This servant...is not suitable to enter the internal communication." Please forgive me, Ge Ge, for a moment or two."

Yingyuan had long since lost her mind and did not speak.Hu Borong hurriedly said, "Ah, then I won't work on the girl. The two of us also heard that the elder brother had just returned from his confinement, and we didn't get the letter in advance, so we didn't have time to go outside the gate to greet him, so we came to give it to the elder brother together." Greetings, grandpa."

"Now that Elder Brother and Fujin still have something to say, Miss, just wait for Elder Brother and Fujin to finish talking, and find a time to convey our greetings. Then we two will also Don’t wait here anymore, let’s go back first.”

Yinhuan squatted hurriedly, "The slave will send you two respectfully."
.
Hu Borong and Yingyuan came down the steps together, Hu Borong couldn't help but glance at Yingyuan.

Both of them have lost their children, and they both have embarrassing identities as the prince's maid, so there is some sympathy between them.

Hu Borong persuaded softly, "I know how to persuade you at this moment will not relieve your pain of losing a child. But after all, we can't just dwell on the past, we have to look to the future, right? Elder brother has come back, if you If you are still so sick, how can you win the pity of elder brother again?"

"Actually, let me tell you the truth. You have been a little cold towards elder brother in the past two years. I can't see it when I'm around. But at that time you still had a child, and you had a reliance; now that the child is gone , you have to gather your mind again... Otherwise, if there are no children in this house, and if there is no elder brother's attention, how will you live and live?"

Yingyuan choked with sobs, raised her eyes to look at Hu Borong, tears were already falling down.

"But you saw it too. He didn't say he came to see me when he came back. He didn't come to see me. After all, he should ask the child... That's his son, isn't it?"

Hu Borong also sighed, "Don't argue about this. After all, didn't Ama of Fujin just pass away... She is Fujin, and we are just maidservants, there is always a difference in status."

Yingyuan laughed, "Those identities are just for outsiders to see. If we close the door, we are the wives and concubines of the elder brother. If he wants to, so what if he comes to see the child first? My son, Compared with father-in-law, there is always a difference between closeness and closeness, isn't it?"

Walking through the corner of the corridor, Hu Borong couldn't help but glance back at the main hall.

"It's just that you have resentment in your heart, so why isn't it what she wanted? Look at how she is dominating elder brother today... She really hopes that you will lose elder brother's heart, call elder brother Grandpa only dotes on her!"

Yingyuan stopped crying and looked up at Hu Borong, "What about you? Are you willing?"

Hu Borong sighed, "I finally have a daughter, and I am satisfied. Besides, Elder Brother fell ill last year, which seems to have something to do with me. A few women from the family are always standing in the porch pointing at Sang and cursing Huai... how dare I resist her again? I'll just watch my daughter live, and the others don't matter."

Yingyuan bit her lip, "...Yes, the most important thing is that you still have children. I have nothing left."

Seeing Yingyuan's desperate look, Hu Borong grabbed Yingyuan's arm anxiously, "That's why I advise you, don't be cold on elder brother anymore, and you can't ask her to snatch elder brother's money by herself." Go away!"

"At least, you have to have another child. Even if your heart is really cold, you have to guard a child to live. Otherwise, what will you rely on in the future?"

Yingyuan also stood on the porch, looking back at the main hall.

"...If he still has his heart for me, no matter how cold I am, he will see me more for the sake of losing my second son. If he is himself, he is not willing to step into my door Come on, then no matter what I do, he won't bother to take a look, will he?"
.
Hot spring palace.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky is also cooling down.The Nala family sent people to Rehe several times to ask for an order, and finally got the emperor's order and allowed her to return to Beijing.

Packing up her luggage, Nalashi listened to Tana's report of other news from Rehe in the past few days.

"Urumqi was originally an earthen castle. After the northwest was pacified, a new city was built. On the tenth day of August, the emperor appointed Urumqi as the 'Dihua City'. The four gates are called Huifu in the east, Fengqing in the west, Zhaofu in the south, and Zhaofu in the north. It's called Jinghui."

Nala snorted softly, "Nasuken was only transferred back from Urumqi this year. The construction of a new city in Urumqi is not due to Nasuken!"

Nasuken is the nephew of the Nala family. After she was crowned queen, she inherited the title of "Chengen Gong", and now she is temporarily named a first-class marquis.You have to wait for the new emperor to ascend the throne before you can officially inherit the duke.

Tana and Dege looked at each other, and then they both laughed, "That's right! The emperor personally named Dihua City, and even the four gates in the east, west, north, south, and south. Such a great kindness is naturally because of us. Thanks to the Lord."

Nala's heart felt a little smoother, and he asked again, "What about the other things?"

Tana and Dege looked at each other cautiously, and the previous smiles subsided.

"On August [-], His Majesty has been escorted by the Empress Dowager. He set off from the Summer Resort to visit Mulan."

Nala nodded, "Well, this is the usual practice in previous years, so there is nothing unexpected."

The only surprise was that she was moved to Tangquan Palace this year, so she was not able to serve the Empress Dowager herself.

"Anything else?" She tried not to think about it.After all, she is about to return to Beijing, and she is still the Empress of the Qing Dynasty!
Dege said softly, "...the emperor issued a decree on the [-]th, saying that 'Mongolian Prince Zhasak Taiji and others, children and ages, there is a case of reporting to the Ministry for appointment. Duerbert Prince Zhasak and others, because of I don't know this case, and I didn't report it to the Ministry. Now that the son of Beizi Gendun, Kouken, has reached his age, he should be granted a rank and wear a flower feather."

"Concubine Yu's father and brothers...a child who just turned 19 years old actually gave it to Hualing!" Nala snorted, "In the [-]th year of Qianlong, the emperor gave Gendun Beizi a grade and asked him to manage Du Erbo Special Middle Rear Banner. However, Concubine Yu hasn't moved much these years, she thought it was just like this, but seeing what the Emperor wants, she is still willing to praise her mother's family!"

Dege also persuaded, "After all, her mother's family is a descendant of Genghis Khan, and her father was originally Erut's great Zaisang. The emperor attaches great importance to it, and there are some."

Nala snorted, "If you value it, you will value it, but I don't care. But in the past, if you didn't give this grace, why did you suddenly seem to remember it this year? This year... Could it be that Concubine Yu is favored again? "
