Chapter 2440 Seven Volumes 143-144
"Besides, before and after her brother-in-law An Ning's accident, how did you forget how Master treated him? How can Master treat her suddenly again right now?"
Wanxi still couldn't help muttering, "...what about An Ning, she is only her brother-in-law after all. An Ning's crime is naturally not comparable to his Ama's merit. Naturally, it can still be good to her."
"Besides..." Wanxi stopped here and didn't continue talking.
What she wanted to say was the empress dowager.After all, Concubine Xin is the one who is serious and upright with the yellow flag inlaid in Manchuria, and just based on this, she crushes Wanxi herself to death.Therefore, in addition to promoting Nala family these years, the second empress dowager wanted to promote was Concubine Xin.
Wanxi knew that since Xiao Shiwu was born, the empress dowager's attitude towards her was indeed much better.But after all, the old lady is more than 70 years old. The older and more conservative the person, the more the old lady still insists on the view of blood.
Maybe the old lady's insistence is not aimed at her personally, but after all, she can't reverse the old lady's insistence on this identity and blood with her own power.
The Emperor squinted at her.
She hesitated to speak in front of him, how could he not understand.
He sighed even more, stretched out his hand to hold her hand, "In these years, you have never said the word 'no' from the Queen's mother in front of the master...even if you were wronged, even if the Queen's mother did something wrong... You did something too much, but you refused to say it in front of the master. The master understands your heart."
Wanxi's nose was sore, but she laughed.
He raised his head and stared seriously at his long eyes, "Master, this slave is not someone who knocks out teeth and swallows blood, I will divide the grievances I suffer; what I can let go of is that the grievances are nothing at all. I don't care; as for those slaves who can't bear it, the slaves will naturally write down an account, wait for the time, and sooner or later they will figure it out."
"However, in the account of the slave, I still remember everything about my master, but I never thought about remembering the empress dowager. When I was young, there were times when I was wronged and wanted to wipe my tears secretly." , but when I grow up, there is no more.”
"Besides, in these years, the servant has never really suffered any loss in front of the empress dowager. Because every time, the master rushed to come in time and fully protected the servant... Since there is a husband like this , How can I have trouble with my mother-in-law? Besides, the empress dowager is an old man, an elder, so why can't she stand being said a few words by the old man?"
The emperor finally smiled, and squeezed Wanxi's hand again and again, "It's okay, I still have a little conscience, knowing that whenever there is something, the master will definitely come in time! What about this time? Touch your heart, Where did the conscience go?"
Although the emperor smiled, there was still a trace of loneliness in his eyes...
Wanxi's heart trembled when she heard this, and she couldn't help raising her eyes, staring fixedly at the emperor.
God, she knew she was wrong.
.
No matter what happened these years, she was able to come here steadily, and ascended the throne of the imperial concubine of the Qing Dynasty as the daughter of Xinzhe Kuhan. Isn't it all the emperor's protection?
She has always believed in the emperor and relied on the emperor with confidence in everything, so these two people have been able to have such a deep love these years.But how could she forget this time?
Perhaps it was because of this autumn, she was unable to accompany the pomegranate because she was young and the fourth princess was giving birth, and Concubine Xin was in Rehe with the emperor... Therefore, the distance from the capital to Rehe also limited her The emperor's trust was restrained, so that when she heard that Concubine Xin was pregnant with the emperor's heir, she believed it was true.
At this time, the emperor woke up the dreamer with a stick, causing her head to cool down immediately.
That's right, during the four months of the emperor's stay in Qiuxi, he couldn't just turn over the brand of one person, but he didn't have to turn over the brand of Concubine Xin, right?
As the emperor said, the emperor actually knows what kind of person Concubine Xin is.Even if the emperor chooses Concubine Yu, Concubine Shen, or the new concubine Xin Changzai, he would not choose Concubine Xin.
Not to mention far away, in the past, the imperial concubine Chunhui was very favored. After the birth of the fourth princess, the emperor never favored the imperial concubine Chunhui again... The eighth princess who was born by Concubine Xin has more secrets than the fourth princess. It's more troublesome.How can there be any shadow in the emperor's heart, who is not good to choose, but how can he choose her?
Thinking about it in this way, I felt suddenly enlightened, and the many chaotic threads in my mind had been gathered and gathered up again at this moment.
.
Wanxi smiled, tilted her head and glanced at the emperor, "The "Golden Mirror of Medicine" was compiled by the emperor himself, and it is a master of Chinese medicine for thousands of years. After the compilation of this book was successful, the emperor issued an order , and set it as the textbook of medical education in Taiyuan Hospital, 'so that teachers must teach from the truth, and disciples must learn from the truth'."
The emperor listened with squinted eyes, and a satisfied glint finally appeared in his long eyes.
"Well, that's right."
Wanxi smiled, but lowered her eyes lightly, twisting and turning the handkerchief with her fingers.
"That is to say, all the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital practiced according to this book when they were first selected into the palace. And when they are formally sent to the palace to see the doctor, all the diagnoses, prescribing Fang’s basis is also this book?”
The emperor raised his eyebrows, and a smile appeared in his long eyes.
Wanxi smiled lowly, "This book is naturally regarded as the standard in the imperial hospital. No imperial doctor dares to jump out of this book to make a diagnosis or prescribe a prescription...so even though there are dozens of people in this imperial hospital, their open mouths, What you say is the same."
The emperor finally took a deep breath with satisfaction, "Of course, I don't mind that the imperial physicians all have family backgrounds, so I also allow them to use some medical principles and prescriptions other than "The Golden Mirror of Medicine". For one thing, this "Golden Mirror of Medicine" is a comprehensive collection of medical books compiled from all over the country, so their respective family studies and secret recipes will naturally not deviate too far from the foundation of this book."
Wanxi's heart beat violently, she couldn't help raising her eyes, and stepped forward to hold the emperor's arm.
"Therefore, no matter which imperial doctor in the imperial hospital is on duty under Concubine Xin, what they can say and what kind of prescription they can prescribe is already under the control of the master. There is no need for the master's instruction. What they said and the prescriptions they prescribed, I know everything in my heart."
The emperor snorted softly, "Unless they have the guts to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor, disregarding their own heads and the lives of their families, they dare to go behind my back to please others..."
Wanxi nodded with a smile, "The slave just let go of everything, didn't ask anything, and didn't get annoyed about anything. After all, there is a master in everything, and the slave can just raise the children in her own palace with peace of mind."
Only then did the emperor burst out laughing, stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of Wanxi's nose, "This is the former Linghu Jiu!"
.
Sleep without dreams all night.
Wanxi didn't wake up the next day until after three poles in the day, and the emperor naturally went to deal with state affairs early, so Wanxi stretched out in bed alone, smiling lazily.
Months of longing, months of suspense, this is finally unraveled.
It's just that I don't know what the emperor has done for the time being, but she is determined in her heart: even if the emperor favors anyone, he will not favor Concubine Xin; go!
But then again, after the past four months, Concubine Xin is the only one who claims to be "Youxi".That is to say, the emperor did not favor other people...
Wanxi felt a slight pain in her heart.There is full of sweetness, but also a touch of melancholy.
In fact, although women are naturally narrow-minded, no one likes to share their husband's favor with others... But in the harem, she is not incapable of understanding the emperor.What's more, this time the emperor stayed abroad for four full months, even if he accidentally turned over someone's brand, she would be considerate.
As long as it is not Concubine Xin, even if it is Concubine Yu and Concubine Shen, these calm and beautiful women, if they are happy, she will be sad, but she will not want to play such a temper with the emperor.
.
After laying in bed for a while, I went to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion to pay respects to Nala, but it was half a step too late.
Even concubine Xin has arrived.
Seeing Wanxi coming late, even Nala didn't say anything, but Concubine Xin couldn't help sneering, "The imperial concubine came so late, and she wakes up faster than the concubine who is pregnant with a child." Is it late?"
"Today is the gathering of our six palaces, and we are formally greeting the empress for the first time. The empress is the last one to come. It makes us feel that the empress does not take the empress seriously."
Before Wanxi could reach her seat and sit down, she was stopped by Concubine Xin.Wanxi was not in a hurry to leave, she just stood in front of Concubine Xin and looked at her with a smile.
After Concubine Xin finished speaking, Wanxi calmly raised her hand to straighten her temples.
"Sister Concubine Xin's words are right, but I'm a little strange. When it comes to pregnancy, I'm naturally more familiar with Concubine Xin than Sister Xin many times. When I heard Concubine Xin's words, I was a little puzzled—— Concubine Xin is pregnant, why is the emperor willing to ask Concubine Xin to get up early, earlier than me who is not pregnant, and come to the empress's palace to pay her respects?"
Wanxi stared at Concubine Xin's eyes, and smiled mockingly, "When I was pregnant, the emperor spared me from paying my respects sooner or later... How did the emperor forget to give my sister such kindness?"
Concubine Xin's cheeks flushed suddenly, as if she had been slapped in the air by an invisible hand.
Concubine Xin couldn't help gritting her teeth, "Really? Since the emperor can give it to the concubine, he must also give it to the concubine. It's just that I just returned to the garden last night, so I didn't care about it for the time being."
Wanxi approached Concubine Xin with a light smile, lowered her voice, and said slowly with a smile in a tone audible between the two of them, "No, sister is right, the emperor didn't care... because yesterday At night, he was in my palace. He only cared about being with me, so he didn't care about giving my sister that grace. "
"You!" Concubine Xin held her breath in her throat and didn't come up.
Only then did Wanxi chuckle lightly, step up gracefully, go to Nala's family, and salute Nala's family.
Wanxi was ready, waiting for Nalashi to pick a few thorns.Unexpectedly, Nala sneered at Concubine Xin, "Concubine Ling came later, she is also a concubine! Concubine Xin, even if you are pregnant with the emperor's heir, you are still only in the concubine position. How can you criticize me?" Where is the noble concubine going? Besides, I haven't asked, where is it your turn?"
Wanxi couldn't help raising her eyebrows quietly.
Yo, it seems that the queen is very angry with Concubine Xin.
Now that the Nala family is already on fire, Wanxi added another firewood in no hurry, "I think Concubine Xin came because she was promoted to concubine, and she was only one step away from the concubine's position as a noble concubine. She no longer has the heart of respect; besides, she is pregnant with an imperial heir now, since a mother is more important than a son, concubine Xin is determined in her heart that as long as she can give birth to a prince, she will definitely be promoted to the imperial concubine, right?"
Nala's eyes became even colder, "What you said is, I thought so too when I looked at her! That's right, there is still one vacancy in the position of concubine, but there are already six in the position of concubine, I don't think so." It's so crowded... that sooner or later someone in the concubine position will be promoted to the imperial concubine, but who said that it must be you, Concubine Xin?"
Nala raised her eyes and glanced at Concubine Shu and Concubine Yu, "Concubine Shu and Concubine Yu, who are the highest ranking concubines, are not more senior than you, and who has never given birth to a prince? It will be your turn Already!"
"What's more, how do you know that the one you can give birth to is the prince? This is too wishful thinking, I'm afraid it will end up being a fool's dream."
Wan Xi lowered her head and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Even Wanxi didn't expect that Nala would go with such deep resentment towards Concubine Xin.At this moment, she has completely disregarded the dignity of the middle palace, and she just tore her face at Concubine Xin.
This resentment was even stronger than Nala's towards Wanxi herself.
Concubine Xin was ridiculed by Nala in public, but she didn't dare to speak back directly, her face was already flushed red.
Nala still refused to give up, and sternly scolded, "What are you looking at? Concubine Xin dared to stare at the middle palace like this, it is disrespectful! If it weren't for the sake of you being pregnant with the emperor's heir, I would I will definitely make you kneel under the eaves!"
Concubine Xin was so annoyed that she forcibly lowered her head, and had to go forward and bow, "I don't dare..."
Seeing that the empress joined hands with the noble concubine, even if she is in the concubine position, even if she is pregnant with the emperor's heir, she will still suffer in the end.She had no choice but to take advantage of the opportunity of squatting, and her ankle was tilted, and then she let out an "ouch", showing a painful expression all over her face.
Le Rong also hurriedly called, "Master, what's wrong with you, master..."
After all, the emperor's heir is the most important thing, so Nala had no choice but to stand up and ordered, "Come here, hurry up and send Concubine Xin back to the palace! Send the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment."
Concubine Xin lowered her head and finally showed a smug smile.
.
Concubine Xin returned to the palace, and the imperial physician had already arrived.
Since he has returned to Beijing, and Prince Jian has passed away, Shi Shiqi is still on duty.Chen Shiguan came in after Shi Shiqi.
Shi Shiqi naturally stepped forward and knelt down, wanting to ask for Concubine Xin's pulse.Concubine Xin suddenly withdrew her wrist, raised her eyes and looked behind Shi Shiqi.
"...Call Chen Shiguan to come."
Shi Shiqi was taken aback, and looked back at Chen Shiguan in disbelief, "But Imperial Physician Chen is just, just..."
Concubine Xin snorted softly, "I know he is just a doctor, and his medical skills are not as good as your imperial doctor. But when I was in Rehe, before and after Youxi, Chen Shiguan served me. How did he treat me and the emperor's heir? Knowing better, I'm relieved."
Shi Shiqi had no choice but to stand up in embarrassment, and when Chen Shiguan stepped forward, Shi Shiqi couldn't help but stare at Chen Shiguan.
Shi Shiqi naturally didn't know, Concubine Xin didn't feel at ease asking him to check her pulse because only Chen Shiguan knew about the fact that she had taken the bone moer, and she was afraid that Shi Shiqi would see the signs in her pulse.
Chen Shiguan knelt down to check his pulse, and then said in a low voice, "Go back to Concubine Xin, your phoenix body and the emperor's heir are all well."
Concubine Xin hurriedly raised her eyes and winked at Le Rong, Le Rong stepped forward in person, waved her hand politely, "Doctor Shi, please."
Embarrassed, Shi Shiqi had to retreat to the outside room for the time being.
Only then did Concubine Xin say to Chen Shiguan, "Everything is going to be all right... You should go and report to the emperor yourself, and say that I was surprised today and the fetal image was unstable. Ask the emperor to come and accompany me~~"
.
Chen Shiguan stuttered slightly, and then suddenly realized, "I obey the order! I will go now——"
Chen Shiguan left quickly, but he didn't expect to come back just as quickly.
Concubine Xin hurriedly made preparations in the warm pavilion, just laying down on the kang, but she didn't expect that she didn't wait for the emperor, and only waited for Chen Shiguan to come back.
"Where's the emperor?" Concubine Xin got up and stared at Chen Shiguan.
Chen Shiguan said in embarrassment, "Go back to Concubine Xin, the emperor is not in the garden. I heard the people in front of the imperial court said that the emperor went to Changchun garden to greet the empress dowager."
Concubine Xin sighed, "So that's it. Then it's all for now, but don't be idle, just go to 'Jiuzhou Qingyan' and wait. When the emperor comes back, you will report it immediately, please The emperor comes!"
.
"Do you know, Concubine Xin has been sending people to guard Qingyan in Jiuzhou today, just waiting for the emperor to accompany her!" Yuqin came over at noon, and couldn't help but babbled as soon as she entered the door.
Wanxi was not in a hurry, she just sat on the edge of the kang holding Yuqin, and stuffed her Tang Pozi into Yuqin's hands.
Although it is still September, the capital is already cold.Before it's time to use charcoal, Mrs. Tang is the best thing.
Yuqin hugged Pozi Tang, the warmth melted into her hands, and she finally calmed down a bit, and then she saw Wanxi's two pairs of small boots on the edge of the kang.
"what is this?"
Although they look like boots, they don't look like the usual ones in the palace.It's simpler and rougher, as if it's just a tube surrounded by felt.
Wanxi knew that Yuqin didn’t know, so she smiled and introduced, “This is called cotton scorpion. It’s a boot tube made of felt, with Ulagrass on the sole, which is moisture-proof, frost-proof, insect-proof and athlete’s foot. It’s light and warm to wear in winter. They are better than the quilted boots contracted by the Inner Palace."
Yuqin murmured and repeated, "Cotton—靰鞡? Ula—grass? They all sound the same!"
Wanxi smiled and blinked, "These big ones are for Yuanzi. Sister, let's see for me, how big is the size? I'm afraid the child's feet are fatter, and I'm afraid he won't be able to get in."
Yuqin pointed to the small pair next to her, "Then these are pomegranate's, of course? You call them little brothers, why are you wearing these?"
Wanxi smiled and tilted her head, "When it gets colder, let them go on ice! Yuanzi can learn to smoke ice cream, even if the pomegranate is small, you can also take an ice boat."
Yuqin's heart also moved slightly, and she couldn't help holding Wanxi's hand, "These are the customs of old Manchuria, right? You have a heart."
In the past, Xiaoqi, Jiujiu and the others also went to play on the ice, but they didn't see Wanxi specially sewing such cotton clothes for them according to the old Manchurian customs, but when it was the prince's turn, Wanxi put more thought into it. up.
Yuqin put away the scorpion, but looked at Wanxi carefully, "You don't care what I told you about Concubine Xin today. After talking about the scorpion for a while, you didn't say anything about it." Let's go~"
Wanxi smiled, took Yuqin's hand and said, "I didn't mean to neglect my sister on purpose, I just cared more about this cotton porcupine in my heart, and didn't take her matter seriously."
Yuqin was stunned, and looked Wanxi up and down carefully, "You man, you forgot who was worried before, how come you are a person who has nothing to do today?"
Wanxi smiled and lowered her head, "Sister thought, she is finally happy, so naturally she has to rely on the emperor's heir to invite favor... It's human nature, let alone her, once anyone in the harem has a child, I'm afraid it will be like this Bar?"
Yuqin gritted her teeth, "I just can't understand her like this! The rest is that Concubine Yu and the others were happy back then, why did I go like this?"
Wanxi smiled softly, "She likes to put on airs, so let her put it off. She is so easy to be proud this time, why don't you tell her to show off? She is pregnant with the child, and the child itself is secondary. She has too many A ostentatious capital is serious!"
Yuqin spat, "The more I can't figure it out, why did the emperor let her succeed? The emperor...how could he forget how much we have suffered from her over the years!"
Only then did Wanxi raise her eyes seriously, and fixed her eyes on Yuqin, "Sister is right, how could the emperor forget? How could the emperor let her succeed!"
Yuqin froze, staring at Wanxi in a daze, stuttering, "Jiu'er, you mean, you mean..."
Wanxi smiled sweetly, "I don't know exactly what the emperor did. But I suddenly felt relieved last night. I always believe in the emperor. I don't believe that the emperor can do such a thing that makes us sad." come."
"It's just that there are always children born in the palace, so as to show the continuous prosperity of the royal family, but whoever it is, I don't believe it will be her turn! Anyway, let's wait and see what the emperor will do. How to treat her depends on what kind of fruit she will 'give birth' after a few months!"
After all, Yuqin can't compare to Wanxi, who had connected with the emperor's heart last night, so she stared at Wanxi worriedly for a long time.
It wasn't until she was sure that Wanxi's eyes were filled with soft smiles, and there was no more tension and tension, that she breathed out, "...you don't know what the emperor has done, so I don't even know. But I know you're going anyway, since you've completely let go of it now, then I'm naturally relieved too."
Wanxi smiled and nodded, "I was just a little bit reluctant to let go of my competitive spirit. I always felt that I had to teach Concubine Xin a lesson to relieve my hatred. Everything was arranged well, but Concubine Xin was useless to us. That prescription, I can't stand it anymore."
"But now that I think about it, what idea can I come up with that surpasses the emperor's? If the emperor has his mind on Concubine Xin, then my idea must be in front of the emperor's mind. Defeated. Naturally, Concubine Xin can only voluntarily jump into the emperor's trap, so we can't take care of our prescription for the time being."
Yuqin sighed again, "Oh, yes."
Wanxi tilted her head and smiled, "Besides, today, sister doesn't feel that the Queen's attitude is a bit funny?"
Yuqin's eyes lit up, "That's right. Before we could reply, the queen gave Concubine Xin a good meal, telling us to relieve our anger!"
Wanxi lowered her head lightly, "There must be a reason for this."
Yuqin bowed her head and thought for a while, "At that time, it was almost time to reach the Summer Resort, and the emperor suddenly ordered the queen to go to Tangquan Palace... Tell me, does this have something to do with Concubine Xin; in the end, the queen is not by the emperor's side , Concubine Xin will be happy, with the Queen's temperament, why not hate to poison Concubine Xin?"
Wanxi raised her brows lightly, "My sister is right. All these things are mixed together. When I think about it now, why do I find it more interesting?"
Yuqin was a little anxious, "Oh, I don't know what charade the emperor is playing with us! I can't wait to find out."
But Wanxi held down Yuqin's hand, "Sister...it's like watching a play, you have to sit down on the stage, wait patiently for the play to unfold from front to back, and let the highlights unfold one by one. After drinking enough tea and leisure, wait for the most exciting scene, and that show will be interesting to watch."
"If the curtain has just opened, the audience has just taken their seats, and the tea has not been brewed to a good taste, then as soon as the curtain opens, the most critical scene will be entered--then how can you taste the eagerness to wait? ?Watching a play, how can you just watch the play on the stage? Watching a play also enjoys the change of mood from waiting to waiting for your wish. My sister said, right? "
Yuqin glanced at Wanxi, couldn't help sighing, and also smiled.
"That's right. Then let's make a pot of good tea, prepare enough melon seeds and pastries, and wait for a good show!"
.
Wanxi Liu Yuqin used up the evening snacks before going back.
The two people on the left and right have to wait for the emperor's movement together, and wait to see how the emperor will treat Concubine Xin.
As a result, they waited until the night fell, and only waited for several decrees issued by the emperor in the Qinzheng Palace, but they never heard that the emperor got up and drove to Concubine Xin's bedroom.
Among these decrees, one is more closely related to the harem: the affairs of the House of Internal Affairs, although the specific affairs are in charge of the minister of the House of Internal Affairs, the prince is also the prime minister above the minister of the House of Internal Affairs.The prince of the Prime Minister's Office of Internal Affairs these years is Prince Zhuang Yunlu.
However, Prince Zhuang has recently been ill and recuperated, and Prince Zhuang can no longer be the master of the Household Affairs, so the emperor decreed that various affairs should be assigned to the kings, princes, concubines, and ministers to take care of them temporarily.
Among them, the affairs of the clan mansion are handled by Prince Jian. (It is Prince Jane, also known as Prince Zheng. An old Prince Jane passed away just now, and this refers to the new Prince Jane who is about to be crowned.)
Zuo Wing Zongxue, Zha Zuo Jin's clan naming and marriage affairs, and Zou Pai's filial piety affairs were written and acted by the prince.
Sixth elder brother and Qin Huitian manage arithmetic affairs.
For the affairs of the Zhongzheng Hall, the three-headed son-in-law, Buten Balezhuer, is acting; for the affairs of the Wuying Hall, the fourth-headed son-in-law, Fu Long'an, is the acting agent.
Through the affairs of the curse hall, Zarafon'a acts as the agent.The affairs of the Fourth Translation Office are written by Yonggui, Wuji, and acting as agents.The pawn shop of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the breeding and banking affairs are handled by Yinglian agents.The affairs of Baodi Temple are handled by the four-character agency.The affairs of the monk record division are acted by Shu Hede.Solve the horse flower horse arrow incident, and act as the agent of Wohe.
Among them, Wanxi couldn't help raising her eyes and glanced at Yuqin, and smiled wickedly, "Oh, the pawn shop of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the job of breeding money, is the most important and most affordable job, the emperor assigned Yinglian to manage it? I remember, wasn't he Ding You in July, why did the emperor entrust him with such an important job?"
Yuqin's face turned red, "He is also the leader of my mother's family, he can be regarded as the official of my mother's family, but I don't want to see him all the time!"
Wanxi smiled and shook her head, "Sister, don't worry, I'm just joking about my sister. But I'm thinking about it, this Yinglian must have a very high ability in making money, so that he can call himself Ding You , the emperor also entrusted him with such an important errand."
Yuqin snorted, "It doesn't matter how he makes money! Anyway, I don't want even one or two of his money!"
Wanxi couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she heard this, "Yinglian gave sister... silver?"
"Of course he doesn't dare to give me money directly. If he has the guts, I'll just take the money and send it to the emperor!"
Yuqin raised her phoenix eyes, her face was full of majesty that cannot be desecrated.
Wanxi felt relieved, "This Yinglian is a capable person, especially with the ability to make money, otherwise the emperor would not have asked him to manage the pawn shop and breeding bank of the Ministry of Internal Affairs when he was worrying. It’s just that this person is a little tricky, even if I admire his talent, I have to tell my sister to be careful about his tricks.”
Wanxi couldn't help sighing softly as she spoke, "Speaking of which, Master Jiu single-handedly promoted Yinglian. When my sister's mother's family came to Beijing, if Jiuye hadn't arranged my sister's mother's family under Yinglian's leadership , Ying Lian, a small head of the House of Internal Affairs, will not gradually come into the emperor's sight."
"Jiu Ye has dedicated his whole life to being a soldier, and he has lived in the world without leaking water. If the only thing that worries me is that Jiu Ye likes luxury. Since Ying Lian was raised by Jiu Ye, he spends money on it In fact, it is exactly the same as Master Jiu. Now he is in charge of the money of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so I am worried..."
Yuqin took Wanxi's hand, "I understand. How did I suffer from Concubine Xin's big loss back then? Wasn't it the time when my father used money from the Yanzheng government to donate to officials? I was also worried that my father would be greedy. Money, I have been in the palace all these years, and I can't reach it with my hands and eyes, and I am afraid that Yinglian has already sent money to my mother's house..."
Wanxi nodded, "Who in this world doesn't love gold and silver? Not to mention uncle, even we are not immune. Therefore, Yinglian Zhouji gave some silver to my sister's mother's house, as long as it is from a kilometer It doesn't matter if it came out of the account. After all, it was Master Jiu who ordered Ying Lian to take care of my sister's mother's house, so it doesn't matter if you spend some money from the account of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Yuqin's eyes turned cold, "... just can't accept the silver that Yinglian sent privately! Jiuer, don't worry, I'll go back now and ask the palace eunuch to go to my mother's house to spread the word. It's still in June I just passed my 40th birthday, and I was in Mulan at that time, so I didn't have time to give my mother's family some rewards; this time I just used this excuse to give them a good warning."
Wanxi also felt relieved, and nodded with a smile, "That's very good."
Yuqin still had a worried look on her face, "My own mother's family, no matter how I warn them, they will definitely listen for me. But I haven't been in the capital for the past four months... I'm afraid of Ying Lian still has connections with Yuse in private."
Wanxi suddenly raised her eyebrows, "Sister said that, I just remembered something. In July, it was rumored that Yinglian Dingyou was going to be relieved of his post and return to his hometown. At that time, Zi Yuse came to me and said that Yinglian asked her to take care of Xian A kid from Angong Official School..."
Wanxi frowned thinking about it at this time, "It's my fault that I didn't ask too much, I just thought that he was a child, and I felt sorry for his life, so I should naturally——Sister asked Ying Lian to use this reason, First put the money into Yuse's hands, saying that Yuse wants to take care of the child, but in fact the big guy in the money is filial to Yuse?"
At that time, Wanxi was worried about the transfer of the money. If she left privately, she would not be able to explain it clearly one day; that's why Wanxi gave the money to Agui. Go to the Tong Yamen, calling for everything to be accounted for, and to be open and transparent.
Yuqin sighed deeply, "Oh, I'm just worried that I won't accept it, and my mother's family won't accept it, but Yuse will accept it behind my back! After all, she is always there, and the annual silver is only 50 taels, let alone Zhou Ji Her mother's family is not enough for her own needs; and her mother's family is poor, a widowed mother with a widowed sister, and several nieces who have lost their parents... The family doesn't even have any money or food to wear armor, so they can only rely on Living on such a few acres of poor land, with a high-spirited tongue and a high-spirited heart, she must not want to be a concubine but not be able to help the family, so she is most likely to take Yinglian's money."
Wanxi was also quite embarrassed.
Regarding Concubine Xin's matter this time, even though her prescription did not come in handy in the end, Yuse contributed the most during the preparation period in the first few months.
In terms of her own heart, why doesn't Wanxi owe Yuse a love?
Wanxi lowered her head and said slowly, "Sister, go back and check it openly and secretly. It would be best if Yuse confiscated Yinglian's money; if Yuse really took it, sister must find out how much Yuse took in total. Sister doesn't have to ask her face to face, just come and tell me quietly, I will try to make up for the money, use Yinglian's father to pay for the funeral, and then I will just give it back."
Yuqin's face turned red, "How can I use your money? I'll check it myself. She is my sister, so she is not my own. But at least I have to fill this hole."
Yuqin took a deep breath, "I celebrated my 450th birthday in June, and the emperor just rewarded me with nine silver ingots, totaling [-] taels. This is just a ready-made place to go!"
Wanxi nodded, "Sister, please don't scold me. Her mother's family is difficult. Although it is unwise for her to do that, it is also human nature. My sister just told her tactfully to reassure her that we will definitely try to help in the future. Just go to her mother's house."
As we spoke, the night was getting darker.
The mother on the lights has already entered the hall to salute, please look at the lights everywhere.This is to remind the masters that it is time to extinguish the lamps and candles and prepare for placement.
After seeing the lights, the keys should be placed on the doors of the palaces.Hu Shijie, the chief inspector of the palace, will personally bring the chief managers of each palace to come to collect all the keys of each palace, and store them in the respect room.
Seeing this, Yuqin hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
Wanxi turned her eyes to look at Yuchan.
Yuchan quickly squatted down with a smile on her face, "It's time to go back to the master and celebrate the master, the emperor is still in Jiuzhou Qingyan, and he didn't mention going to Concubine Xin at all!"
After all the keys are taken away, even the Son of Heaven can no longer just go wherever he wants, otherwise he has to go to the respect room to ask for the key, and he has to take the risk of disturbing the "night watch" temple gods in the palaces, then It means that the emperor lost his virtue.
In the palace, the gate control is the strictest at night, otherwise the Yongshou Palace and the Hall of Mental Cultivation were so close back then, the emperor couldn't walk through the door, he had to climb the wall, didn't he?
Therefore, if the emperor has not moved the place after a while, then it is a clear notice: the emperor will not go tonight!
Only then did Wanxi look at Yuqin and smile.
.
Not only did the emperor not go at all that day, he also didn't go the next day.
What Chen Shiguan brought back from the imperial court was that the emperor had just returned to Beijing from Mulan, and that there were so many shrines and incense offerings in the garden, and he hadn't had time to salute yet.Therefore, the emperor was too busy to burn incense everywhere this day, so he didn't care about entering the harem for the time being.
Chen Shiguan carefully raised his eyes to look at Concubine Xin, "...my minister explained to the emperor the situation of the empress's phoenix violation in detail. The emperor is also very concerned, and has repeatedly ordered my minister to take care of my empress carefully."
"The emperor also said that after all, I am young, and I am just a little doctor. If there are any deficiencies, I should invite the imperial doctor Shi Shiqi to come and serve me."
Concubine Xin closed her eyes heavily, "Are you very concerned? Heh, heh, what's the use of another imperial doctor?"
Chen Shiguan fell to the ground, not daring to speak.
Concubine Xin sighed, "Forget it. This is just two days after returning to Beijing. The emperor wants to burn incense and salute everywhere. Two days should be enough. Let's wait for one or two. After all, it's only three days. Tomorrow he will It's time to finish! I'm waiting, I've been waiting for two days, so what if I wait one more day? I'm not in a hurry, after all, it's still a few months before the baby is born."
Let alone the past few months, after giving birth to the eighth princess six years ago, the emperor left her cold and threw her into the Xianfu Palace, which is actually no different from the cold palace... Six long years, she Didn't they all come through?
Now that the hardships are all over and everything is going well, why can't she wait?
After all, she is pregnant with the emperor's flesh and blood.Even if the emperor doesn't want to see her anymore, he will always care about the child in her belly, won't he?
This night, Concubine Xin silently repeated this kind of self-comfort in her heart, so that she could finally fall asleep.
She never expected that the next morning, shortly after waking up, she heard that the emperor had left the Old Summer Palace, and went to the Changchun Garden to greet the Empress Dowager, and then went back to the Forbidden City!
"Your majesty, he left just like that?" Concubine Xin sat down on the kang in a daze, "He didn't even say that before he left, he would at least come to see me? Or even if he couldn't make it by himself, he should send someone by his side Wei Zhu, or Gao Yuncong, come over to say hello? Are you there, huh?"
Both Le Rong and Le Yi were also sad, but they didn't dare to hide it, they could only shake their heads silently.
Concubine Xin gritted her silver teeth and took a deep breath, "Don't be afraid...don't be afraid! After all, this year, I will be the only one in the palace to meet the congratulations, so the emperor will always have me on top of his heart. No matter what they think, I am too. The most popular person in the harem. After all, it’s not their turn to see my jokes, and it’s too late for them to be jealous of me!”
.
Greetings this morning, both Le Rong and Le Yi advised Concubine Xin not to go, and just asked for a leave through the emperor's heir.
But Concubine Xin was unwilling.
"Go, why don't I go? If I don't go, is it possible that they will laugh at me behind my back? I just want to see their faces face to face. I want to see, they are in front of me. What else can you spit out!"
"If it's more tactful, it's fine, I'm too lazy to argue with them; if it's not nice, I'll faint in front of them immediately, and make them bear the crime of murdering the emperor's heir! ——It's all about me Now I have iron coupons in my belly, not to mention all of them, even if they are empresses and empress dowagers, I can't help it!"
Concubine Xin arrived at the Changchun Immortal Hall with unabated momentum, took big strides, raised her chin proudly, and stepped into the gate of the palace with her eyes closed.
She stopped in front of Mrs. Nala, and just nodded slightly, "The concubine has confessed to the crime. The concubine's stomach is inconvenient, and I dare not hurt the emperor's heir, so I can't salute in front of the empress. I think the master and empress love the emperor's heir. I will never compare myself with my concubine."
Nala's heart was burning with anger, staring at Concubine Xin, he sneered, "I fell down here once before, and I yelled at that moment, and I reported to the emperor again, It’s another good medicinal material from the imperial pharmacy to be moved to your palace at a low price. I might think that this emperor’s heir can’t be kept... But why are you still so arrogant when I look at you today, it’s clear that nothing is wrong? ?”
Concubine Xin rolled her eyes, "My lord, please be careful with your words! Cursing the emperor's heir will not protect you... It is the middle palace, such words are immoral!"
Nalashi shrugged, "You don't need to scare me with this. It's not what you said, it was what you showed that day. If it's not that serious, how could it be so serious?" go?"
Wanxi sat in the first place under the queen's seat, listening quietly, even lowering her head and smiling.
"Sister Concubine Xin, the Emperor himself is very good at medicine. If Concubine Xin recovers so quickly, the Emperor must have arrived in time to see her in person. Even the prescription was prescribed by the Emperor himself?"
Concubine Xin hurriedly turned her head to look at Wanxi, but she was speechless.
Nala chuckled, "That's right, Concubine Xin, tell me, when did the emperor visit you? Or I should ask more bluntly: Did the emperor go or not during the past two days?" Have you seen it?"
Nala glanced at the crowd and smiled, "The emperor is proficient in medical skills, and his eyes are as sharp as a torch. Even though Concubine Xin is making a fuss, the emperor has already seen through that she is fine at all! It's a good thing that she deliberately stayed with us that day. Fainting in front of my eyes, all of us are here, she just wants to blame all of us! What a pity, the emperor will not wrong us sisters because of her."
Nala's eyes were cold, and he looked back at Concubine Xin, "Concubine Xin, in fact, we have been serving in the palace for so many years. Who of us has not heard of the anecdotes of the harem for thousands of years? Like you This kind of drama of inviting pets through pregnancy is really old sesame seeds and rotten millet, and it has long been used by people. It is not new at all, how can you think that the emperor will be fooled by you?"
"Concubine Xin, I thought you were quite smart at first. Is it because you have been locked up in Xianfu Palace alone for too long, that even your brain has become dull?"
.
Wanxi listened quietly, and Yuqin turned her head and snorted softly, "It's really fresh. It's the first time I've seen the master, empress, scolding Gege who was born in Manchuria with a yellow flag like this."
"Finally she can't care less about pointing and scolding us anymore. Maybe she never thought that the one who gave her the most ruthless knife one day will be Gege from their noble Manchurian noble family~~"
Wanxi raised her eyes slowly, "Actually, we have been in the emperor's harem since the day we entered the palace and were sealed. If there were no such differences of family status and blood lineage, life in this harem would have been easier to get along with. It's her Refusing to give up her 'nobility', she decided that we are all 'lowly', now that she is so angry, why doesn't she also feel that everything in the past was slapped on her cheek?"
Yuqin also nodded, "She is already the queen of the palace and the mother of the Qing Dynasty. She is already the most noble among men, and no one can surpass her among women except the empress dowager. It is she herself who still refuses to give up. If you want to fight, if you want to fight, you will be disqualified and willing to be humble!"
Wanxi looked back, and gently pinched Yuqin's hand, "Sister said, will she learn some lessons from this matter this time, so that An An will be proud of herself from now on, don't bother?"
Yuqin glanced at Nala's trembling face with raised eyes, "I see, it's difficult~ as the saying goes, it's easy to change the country, but it's hard to change the nature; she has never really become the queen of the middle palace, and she is still being treated as the queen of the palace. Trapped in the shadow of that unfavorable latent mansion, side Fujin..."
.
Concubine Xin clenched her teeth and tried her best to stand upright on the spot.
Is there any wall in the harem that is airtight?They all knew that the emperor never visited her at all.
"... Your Majesty has been busy with state affairs these two days! Even if your Majesty didn't come to see me for the time being, that's because your Majesty is at a loss. As the Emperor's harem, I should be considerate of my Majesty, how can I hinder my Majesty because of my little matter?" Go? Me, since I understand the situation of the emperor, I am not in a hurry, just wait for the emperor to come back from the palace, and come back to see me naturally."
Concubine Xin's words caused Nala and everyone else to look at her stomach for a while, and made them feel a little sad.
Also, it is not an exaggeration for Concubine Xin to have such confidence.After all, she is pregnant with the emperor's heir, after all, she is the only empress in the harem who is happy this year.The emperor will take care of the emperor's heir, so sooner or later he has to come back to see her.
Wanxi looked indifferent.
"But speaking of it, the emperor's filial piety to the empress dowager will always come first." Wanxi quietly raised her eyes, looked at Concubine Xin, and even smiled slowly, "The emperor is 22 Those who returned to Beijing went to greet the Empress Dowager early on the 23rd; today is the 25th, only one day later, the Emperor got up early to greet the Empress Dowager before returning to the palace."
Wanxi said it like smoke on the water, but Nalashi could hear it, and couldn't help laughing "hey".
"That's right! Who said that the emperor is busy with state affairs, so he has no time to visit anyone? Didn't the emperor visit the empress dowager twice in three days?"
Nala smiled sarcastically, fixed her gaze on Concubine Xin, and watched Concubine Xin's red and white face with enjoyment.
"Besides, Changchun Garden is still far away, but you are in our Old Summer Palace, which is much closer. It's not that the emperor has no skills at all, it's just that people are different after all, and the emperor always has priorities in his heart."
Concubine Xin said bitterly, "No matter what, I can't compare with the Empress Dowager!"
Nalashi giggled again, "Who told you to compare yourself with the empress dowager? It was you who thought, I didn't want to give you this face yet! I just took the child in your stomach and compared it with the empress dowager." Just a little comparison."
"For the emperor, the mother and the heir can be compared on the same scale; but you are not qualified to do so."
As Nala said, he flipped the button on his lapel in satisfaction.
She is a queen, even if she presses the lapel, she uses it more "long-winded" than others.It is not like the plain silver and light "Anlan" used by Wanxi in Anlan Garden, nor is it just hanging rosary beads, she is "hanging nine", hanging a string of nine small things on the lapel : All ear picks, old crow needles, teeth picking needles, and even tongue scraping knives are all hung together.
It was winter now, and the jewelry of the inner court dignitaries had changed from jade to pure gold, so her lapels were nine pieces of gold, all of which were resplendent and eye-catching.The number of those nine pieces, as well as the bright colors, are all enough to put on the airs of being the main palace.
As she fiddled with her fingertips, the string of gold objects collided with each other crisply, sparkling like fireworks.
Listen, it's like a dignified mockery.
"Concubine Xin, look, it turns out that not only you, but also your child is really worthless in the eyes of the emperor." Nala shrugged proudly and sneered, "After all, the emperor is not short of princes at this moment. The emperor can After giving birth to the sixth child and the fourth child one after another, do you see that the emperor lacks a prince? Therefore, even if you give birth to a prince, in the eyes of the emperor, it is worthless."
"Maybe, in the future, the emperor will inherit your son as well!"
Concubine Xin is also a mother after all, and it is always the most unbearable pain when people talk about children.
She raised her head eagerly, and stared fiercely at Nalashi, "The empress said to stay in Germany! If you say something like this today, the empress should be careful, and her children will have such a day in the future!"
Everyone broke up unhappy, between Nala and Concubine Xin, all faces were officially torn apart.The curse has all fallen on their respective children, and there is no turning back.
.
No matter how noisy the harem was, the emperor returned to the palace to attend to business.
The emperor first listened to the government at the Qianqing Gate, and then fasted for three days to sacrifice to the Taimiao; more importantly, at this time, the emperor officially promulgated the "Complete Records of the Imperial Junggar", which clarified the genealogy of the Junggar from ancient times to the present, one by one, It officially drew a successful conclusion for the imperial court to pacify Junggar.
On the first day of October, the emperor officially went to the Taimiao to salute and promulgated the 29th year of Qianlong's constitution (that is, the official calendar issued in advance for the new year).
It was also on this day that the emperor granted titles of grace to all of your capable ministers.
Among them, Liang Shizheng, a scholar of Dongge University, and the crown prince Taifu;
Zhaohui, Ali Gun, Agui, Gao Jin, etc., plus Prince Taibao;
Chen Hongmou, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, also added the prince and Taibao.
When Wanxi got the news, she was only happy for Chen Hongmou.
This day Wanxi specially invited Yongxuan's Fujin Qingzao to speak.
Qing Zao is so clever, and now Wanxi invites her into the garden to talk, and she understands.
She smiled to herself, and said softly, "Don't worry about it, Auntie. Master Chen is not implicated in the case of An Ning."
Back then, An Ning's crime was revealed to the world, and it was all the work of Yin Jishan and Chen Hongmou.Since Yin Jishan had a rift with An Ning, the shogunate persuaded Yin Jishan not to come forward directly to collect evidence of An Ning's crime; besides, Yin Jishan had to worry about his eighth elder brother Yongxuan and his daughter at that time.
Chen Hongmou and Yin Jishan worked together in Jiangnan for many years. Yin Jishan was the governor of Liangjiang, and Chen Hongmou was the governor of Jiangsu.The two are superiors and subordinates in business affairs, and their personal relationship is irreversible. Chen Hongmou blocked Yin Jishan, and participated in the performance himself, exposing all the serious crimes of Li Zhong, An Ning's family member who was in charge of the customs.
It's just that An Ning's serious crimes for many years were not revealed until after his death. The emperor couldn't help but anger the local officials in Jiangnan, thinking that Chen Hongmou, the governor of Jiangsu, should have participated in the performance early.Therefore, the emperor also punished Chen Hongmou, handed Chen Hongmou over to the ministry, and demoted him for punishment; he also removed the governor of Jiangsu and transferred him to Hunan as governor.
When Wanxi heard about it, she couldn't bear it.Although the emperor just reprimanded Chen Hongmou, although the governor of Jiangsu was dismissed, he was transferred to the governor of Hunan at the same level; but after all, in terms of money and grain economy, Hunan was not as important as Jiangsu at that time.
Wanxi sighed softly, "I won't hide it from you. At that moment, I was really worried that Chen Hongmou would be buried forever. I didn't expect that from September last year to today, it was only one year, and Chen Hongmou was not only gone. Hunan fell silent, but was called back to Beijing by the emperor to become an official in the court. First, he was awarded the important post of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and now he has been given the title of Crown Prince Taibao..."
Qing Zao also laughed, "So, on the surface, Huang Amana seems to have ordered Uncle Chen to go, but in his heart, he has given Uncle Chen a great credit!"
Wanxi nodded with satisfaction, "It's not convenient for me to send some congratulatory gifts to Chen Hongmou. Qingzao, I will entrust you, based on your personal friendship with Chen Hongmou, I will send a congratulatory gift to show my respect Mind."
Qing Zao nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, Madam, I know what to do."
Qing Zao said with a mischievous smile, "My Ama and Uncle Chen are already An Ning's mortal enemies. Thinking about the good news of Uncle Chen, Concubine Xin must be the last thing to hear."
Wanxi smiled, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Yu Rui gave Qing Zao a thumbs up with a smile, "What you said is really reasonable! The emperor is too unsympathetic to jade, and now our concubine Xin is still pregnant with the emperor's heir, and the emperor is not worried that concubine Xin will hear it. 'Damn' my brother-in-law's mortal enemy was promoted again within a year, and it was Jia En's title again, why not get angry?"
Qing Zao laughed and clapped his hands, "Aunt Rui is right in my arms! Ouch, I can't help but shed bitter tears on behalf of Concubine Xin~"
.
On the third day of October, the emperor was not in a hurry to return to the Old Summer Palace, but went to the Lama Temple to salute.
On this day, everyone was unprepared, and Hu Shijie personally went to the palaces to deliver decrees, saying that the emperor issued a decree to confer the title of Fucha, a well-behaved woman in the Empress Dowager's Palace, as Chang Zai, named "Fu Chang Zai". ".
Concubine Xin is happy, after the emperor returned to Beijing, he was not merciful, not to mention generous, and while he was not in the garden, he even appointed a newcomer!
As the news spread, the wound on Concubine Xin's heart was severely sprinkled with salt.
If it is said that the emperor granted her brother-in-law's mortal enemy Chen Hongmou the title of grace, she could hold back her breath for the time being; then the emperor "secretly" bestowed the newcomer, she would not be able to swallow this breath no matter what!
This year, she is the only one who is happy in the palace. This year, the emperor should favor her the most in the harem!
How could he suddenly confer the title of newcomer and steal her limelight?
What's more, what is it to be so "sneaky"!
On the fourth day of October, it was a foregone conclusion that the blessings would always be here, and the emperor returned from the Forbidden City to the Old Summer Palace in a leisurely manner.
Concubine Xin couldn't hold back, so she pressed her belly, she had to go to the gate of the palace to meet the emperor in person.
Didn't the emperor always "have no time" to see her?Then she will go to see the emperor by herself, and appear in front of the emperor by herself, so that the emperor can't even see her! .
The Nala family led the harem, and they all greeted the saint outside the palace gate.
You don't need to look at it deliberately, Concubine Xin's distraught look has clearly caught everyone's eyes.
The eyes of Wanxi and Yuqin collided lightly, and the corners of their lips slightly curled up.
Really, he was supposed to be the most proud person in the harem this year, how could he end up like this?
Yuqin said softly, "The emperor bestowed the seal on a well-behaved woman under the empress dowager... Thinking about it now, I suddenly felt that the words you said in the Changchun Fairy Pavilion that day were particularly meaningful. gone?"
"You said that day, the emperor just came back to Beijing, but he went to greet the empress dowager twice in three days--I want to come now. Could it be that the emperor just went to see the little girl under the empress dowager? Jiu'er, you Tell me quickly, could it be that you had a premonition at that time?"
Wanxi looked as calm as water.
"No, where do I have such foresight? Otherwise, I could be a shaman mother-in-law, and I can invite gods by myself..." Wanxi raised her eyes, and quietly glanced at the dry but clear blue sky in October, " Me, I have only been with the emperor for these years, and I can probably feel some abnormalities in the emperor. Just like the emperor just returned to Beijing, he went to the empress dowager's palace twice in three days - it is the emperor's filial piety, in the past three days One small safety, one big safety every five days, but there is no such frequent visit twice in three days."
"I was thinking, maybe the emperor wants to discuss something with the empress dowager; or, something related to the empress dowager's palace is about to happen."
As Wanxi said, she looked back slightly and cast a sideways glance at Concubine Xin.
"But I didn't expect that the emperor actually conferred a newcomer in the empress dowager's palace to make things difficult for her."
Yuqin suddenly realized, so she also smiled, "What's even better, this Fucha clan, I remember you told me, was personally selected by our empress and sent to the empress dowager's palace."
Wanxi also smiled quietly.
"Isn't it? Just because Concubine Xin has quarreled with the queen these days like a black-eyed chicken, and the emperor suddenly bestowed this blessing on him, Concubine Xin must feel that the emperor is blessing the queen and standing On the queen's side."
Yuqin couldn't help smacking her lips, "Tsk tsk, if I were her, I'd be so angry that I would faint now. Oh yes, she collapsed so easily that day, why is she standing so straight today?"
As they spoke, the bright yellow canopies in the distance approached sequentially.
Wanxi and Yuqin also stopped their voices, and stood behind Nala, saluting one by one.
Concubine Xin couldn't wait any longer, and because she was pregnant she didn't need to make a big salute, so she stood out from the crowd, standing alone among the crowd, wanting the emperor to see her at a glance.
She waited, hoped, suppressing the unceasing sorrow in her heart, and stared straight at the leader of Luanjia's team.
The emperor wears uniform and sits on a white horse.
Concubine Xin believed that the emperor must have seen her.
She squatted softly and slightly, making her posture both graceful and a little aggrieved.
With such an appearance, the emperor will naturally understand her state of mind, right?
The Luan driving queue finally stopped, and the emperor got off his horse.Concubine Xin's heart beat wildly - next, is the emperor going to come towards her?
The emperor, he will definitely support her with his own hands, talk softly to her, and maybe apologize a few times.
She was already ready, and when the emperor approached, she would say softly, "I will wait for the emperor for a long time", or she would bring some rain to the pear blossoms by the way.
As long as the emperor loves her, she can fight back beautifully to the humiliation that the empress and the others gave her before!
(Thank you for the monthly tickets and rewards, and thank you Lan and Lingsheuewen for the huge red envelopes, it’s a waste~)
(End of this chapter)
"Besides, before and after her brother-in-law An Ning's accident, how did you forget how Master treated him? How can Master treat her suddenly again right now?"
Wanxi still couldn't help muttering, "...what about An Ning, she is only her brother-in-law after all. An Ning's crime is naturally not comparable to his Ama's merit. Naturally, it can still be good to her."
"Besides..." Wanxi stopped here and didn't continue talking.
What she wanted to say was the empress dowager.After all, Concubine Xin is the one who is serious and upright with the yellow flag inlaid in Manchuria, and just based on this, she crushes Wanxi herself to death.Therefore, in addition to promoting Nala family these years, the second empress dowager wanted to promote was Concubine Xin.
Wanxi knew that since Xiao Shiwu was born, the empress dowager's attitude towards her was indeed much better.But after all, the old lady is more than 70 years old. The older and more conservative the person, the more the old lady still insists on the view of blood.
Maybe the old lady's insistence is not aimed at her personally, but after all, she can't reverse the old lady's insistence on this identity and blood with her own power.
The Emperor squinted at her.
She hesitated to speak in front of him, how could he not understand.
He sighed even more, stretched out his hand to hold her hand, "In these years, you have never said the word 'no' from the Queen's mother in front of the master...even if you were wronged, even if the Queen's mother did something wrong... You did something too much, but you refused to say it in front of the master. The master understands your heart."
Wanxi's nose was sore, but she laughed.
He raised his head and stared seriously at his long eyes, "Master, this slave is not someone who knocks out teeth and swallows blood, I will divide the grievances I suffer; what I can let go of is that the grievances are nothing at all. I don't care; as for those slaves who can't bear it, the slaves will naturally write down an account, wait for the time, and sooner or later they will figure it out."
"However, in the account of the slave, I still remember everything about my master, but I never thought about remembering the empress dowager. When I was young, there were times when I was wronged and wanted to wipe my tears secretly." , but when I grow up, there is no more.”
"Besides, in these years, the servant has never really suffered any loss in front of the empress dowager. Because every time, the master rushed to come in time and fully protected the servant... Since there is a husband like this , How can I have trouble with my mother-in-law? Besides, the empress dowager is an old man, an elder, so why can't she stand being said a few words by the old man?"
The emperor finally smiled, and squeezed Wanxi's hand again and again, "It's okay, I still have a little conscience, knowing that whenever there is something, the master will definitely come in time! What about this time? Touch your heart, Where did the conscience go?"
Although the emperor smiled, there was still a trace of loneliness in his eyes...
Wanxi's heart trembled when she heard this, and she couldn't help raising her eyes, staring fixedly at the emperor.
God, she knew she was wrong.
.
No matter what happened these years, she was able to come here steadily, and ascended the throne of the imperial concubine of the Qing Dynasty as the daughter of Xinzhe Kuhan. Isn't it all the emperor's protection?
She has always believed in the emperor and relied on the emperor with confidence in everything, so these two people have been able to have such a deep love these years.But how could she forget this time?
Perhaps it was because of this autumn, she was unable to accompany the pomegranate because she was young and the fourth princess was giving birth, and Concubine Xin was in Rehe with the emperor... Therefore, the distance from the capital to Rehe also limited her The emperor's trust was restrained, so that when she heard that Concubine Xin was pregnant with the emperor's heir, she believed it was true.
At this time, the emperor woke up the dreamer with a stick, causing her head to cool down immediately.
That's right, during the four months of the emperor's stay in Qiuxi, he couldn't just turn over the brand of one person, but he didn't have to turn over the brand of Concubine Xin, right?
As the emperor said, the emperor actually knows what kind of person Concubine Xin is.Even if the emperor chooses Concubine Yu, Concubine Shen, or the new concubine Xin Changzai, he would not choose Concubine Xin.
Not to mention far away, in the past, the imperial concubine Chunhui was very favored. After the birth of the fourth princess, the emperor never favored the imperial concubine Chunhui again... The eighth princess who was born by Concubine Xin has more secrets than the fourth princess. It's more troublesome.How can there be any shadow in the emperor's heart, who is not good to choose, but how can he choose her?
Thinking about it in this way, I felt suddenly enlightened, and the many chaotic threads in my mind had been gathered and gathered up again at this moment.
.
Wanxi smiled, tilted her head and glanced at the emperor, "The "Golden Mirror of Medicine" was compiled by the emperor himself, and it is a master of Chinese medicine for thousands of years. After the compilation of this book was successful, the emperor issued an order , and set it as the textbook of medical education in Taiyuan Hospital, 'so that teachers must teach from the truth, and disciples must learn from the truth'."
The emperor listened with squinted eyes, and a satisfied glint finally appeared in his long eyes.
"Well, that's right."
Wanxi smiled, but lowered her eyes lightly, twisting and turning the handkerchief with her fingers.
"That is to say, all the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital practiced according to this book when they were first selected into the palace. And when they are formally sent to the palace to see the doctor, all the diagnoses, prescribing Fang’s basis is also this book?”
The emperor raised his eyebrows, and a smile appeared in his long eyes.
Wanxi smiled lowly, "This book is naturally regarded as the standard in the imperial hospital. No imperial doctor dares to jump out of this book to make a diagnosis or prescribe a prescription...so even though there are dozens of people in this imperial hospital, their open mouths, What you say is the same."
The emperor finally took a deep breath with satisfaction, "Of course, I don't mind that the imperial physicians all have family backgrounds, so I also allow them to use some medical principles and prescriptions other than "The Golden Mirror of Medicine". For one thing, this "Golden Mirror of Medicine" is a comprehensive collection of medical books compiled from all over the country, so their respective family studies and secret recipes will naturally not deviate too far from the foundation of this book."
Wanxi's heart beat violently, she couldn't help raising her eyes, and stepped forward to hold the emperor's arm.
"Therefore, no matter which imperial doctor in the imperial hospital is on duty under Concubine Xin, what they can say and what kind of prescription they can prescribe is already under the control of the master. There is no need for the master's instruction. What they said and the prescriptions they prescribed, I know everything in my heart."
The emperor snorted softly, "Unless they have the guts to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor, disregarding their own heads and the lives of their families, they dare to go behind my back to please others..."
Wanxi nodded with a smile, "The slave just let go of everything, didn't ask anything, and didn't get annoyed about anything. After all, there is a master in everything, and the slave can just raise the children in her own palace with peace of mind."
Only then did the emperor burst out laughing, stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of Wanxi's nose, "This is the former Linghu Jiu!"
.
Sleep without dreams all night.
Wanxi didn't wake up the next day until after three poles in the day, and the emperor naturally went to deal with state affairs early, so Wanxi stretched out in bed alone, smiling lazily.
Months of longing, months of suspense, this is finally unraveled.
It's just that I don't know what the emperor has done for the time being, but she is determined in her heart: even if the emperor favors anyone, he will not favor Concubine Xin; go!
But then again, after the past four months, Concubine Xin is the only one who claims to be "Youxi".That is to say, the emperor did not favor other people...
Wanxi felt a slight pain in her heart.There is full of sweetness, but also a touch of melancholy.
In fact, although women are naturally narrow-minded, no one likes to share their husband's favor with others... But in the harem, she is not incapable of understanding the emperor.What's more, this time the emperor stayed abroad for four full months, even if he accidentally turned over someone's brand, she would be considerate.
As long as it is not Concubine Xin, even if it is Concubine Yu and Concubine Shen, these calm and beautiful women, if they are happy, she will be sad, but she will not want to play such a temper with the emperor.
.
After laying in bed for a while, I went to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion to pay respects to Nala, but it was half a step too late.
Even concubine Xin has arrived.
Seeing Wanxi coming late, even Nala didn't say anything, but Concubine Xin couldn't help sneering, "The imperial concubine came so late, and she wakes up faster than the concubine who is pregnant with a child." Is it late?"
"Today is the gathering of our six palaces, and we are formally greeting the empress for the first time. The empress is the last one to come. It makes us feel that the empress does not take the empress seriously."
Before Wanxi could reach her seat and sit down, she was stopped by Concubine Xin.Wanxi was not in a hurry to leave, she just stood in front of Concubine Xin and looked at her with a smile.
After Concubine Xin finished speaking, Wanxi calmly raised her hand to straighten her temples.
"Sister Concubine Xin's words are right, but I'm a little strange. When it comes to pregnancy, I'm naturally more familiar with Concubine Xin than Sister Xin many times. When I heard Concubine Xin's words, I was a little puzzled—— Concubine Xin is pregnant, why is the emperor willing to ask Concubine Xin to get up early, earlier than me who is not pregnant, and come to the empress's palace to pay her respects?"
Wanxi stared at Concubine Xin's eyes, and smiled mockingly, "When I was pregnant, the emperor spared me from paying my respects sooner or later... How did the emperor forget to give my sister such kindness?"
Concubine Xin's cheeks flushed suddenly, as if she had been slapped in the air by an invisible hand.
Concubine Xin couldn't help gritting her teeth, "Really? Since the emperor can give it to the concubine, he must also give it to the concubine. It's just that I just returned to the garden last night, so I didn't care about it for the time being."
Wanxi approached Concubine Xin with a light smile, lowered her voice, and said slowly with a smile in a tone audible between the two of them, "No, sister is right, the emperor didn't care... because yesterday At night, he was in my palace. He only cared about being with me, so he didn't care about giving my sister that grace. "
"You!" Concubine Xin held her breath in her throat and didn't come up.
Only then did Wanxi chuckle lightly, step up gracefully, go to Nala's family, and salute Nala's family.
Wanxi was ready, waiting for Nalashi to pick a few thorns.Unexpectedly, Nala sneered at Concubine Xin, "Concubine Ling came later, she is also a concubine! Concubine Xin, even if you are pregnant with the emperor's heir, you are still only in the concubine position. How can you criticize me?" Where is the noble concubine going? Besides, I haven't asked, where is it your turn?"
Wanxi couldn't help raising her eyebrows quietly.
Yo, it seems that the queen is very angry with Concubine Xin.
Now that the Nala family is already on fire, Wanxi added another firewood in no hurry, "I think Concubine Xin came because she was promoted to concubine, and she was only one step away from the concubine's position as a noble concubine. She no longer has the heart of respect; besides, she is pregnant with an imperial heir now, since a mother is more important than a son, concubine Xin is determined in her heart that as long as she can give birth to a prince, she will definitely be promoted to the imperial concubine, right?"
Nala's eyes became even colder, "What you said is, I thought so too when I looked at her! That's right, there is still one vacancy in the position of concubine, but there are already six in the position of concubine, I don't think so." It's so crowded... that sooner or later someone in the concubine position will be promoted to the imperial concubine, but who said that it must be you, Concubine Xin?"
Nala raised her eyes and glanced at Concubine Shu and Concubine Yu, "Concubine Shu and Concubine Yu, who are the highest ranking concubines, are not more senior than you, and who has never given birth to a prince? It will be your turn Already!"
"What's more, how do you know that the one you can give birth to is the prince? This is too wishful thinking, I'm afraid it will end up being a fool's dream."
Wan Xi lowered her head and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Even Wanxi didn't expect that Nala would go with such deep resentment towards Concubine Xin.At this moment, she has completely disregarded the dignity of the middle palace, and she just tore her face at Concubine Xin.
This resentment was even stronger than Nala's towards Wanxi herself.
Concubine Xin was ridiculed by Nala in public, but she didn't dare to speak back directly, her face was already flushed red.
Nala still refused to give up, and sternly scolded, "What are you looking at? Concubine Xin dared to stare at the middle palace like this, it is disrespectful! If it weren't for the sake of you being pregnant with the emperor's heir, I would I will definitely make you kneel under the eaves!"
Concubine Xin was so annoyed that she forcibly lowered her head, and had to go forward and bow, "I don't dare..."
Seeing that the empress joined hands with the noble concubine, even if she is in the concubine position, even if she is pregnant with the emperor's heir, she will still suffer in the end.She had no choice but to take advantage of the opportunity of squatting, and her ankle was tilted, and then she let out an "ouch", showing a painful expression all over her face.
Le Rong also hurriedly called, "Master, what's wrong with you, master..."
After all, the emperor's heir is the most important thing, so Nala had no choice but to stand up and ordered, "Come here, hurry up and send Concubine Xin back to the palace! Send the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment."
Concubine Xin lowered her head and finally showed a smug smile.
.
Concubine Xin returned to the palace, and the imperial physician had already arrived.
Since he has returned to Beijing, and Prince Jian has passed away, Shi Shiqi is still on duty.Chen Shiguan came in after Shi Shiqi.
Shi Shiqi naturally stepped forward and knelt down, wanting to ask for Concubine Xin's pulse.Concubine Xin suddenly withdrew her wrist, raised her eyes and looked behind Shi Shiqi.
"...Call Chen Shiguan to come."
Shi Shiqi was taken aback, and looked back at Chen Shiguan in disbelief, "But Imperial Physician Chen is just, just..."
Concubine Xin snorted softly, "I know he is just a doctor, and his medical skills are not as good as your imperial doctor. But when I was in Rehe, before and after Youxi, Chen Shiguan served me. How did he treat me and the emperor's heir? Knowing better, I'm relieved."
Shi Shiqi had no choice but to stand up in embarrassment, and when Chen Shiguan stepped forward, Shi Shiqi couldn't help but stare at Chen Shiguan.
Shi Shiqi naturally didn't know, Concubine Xin didn't feel at ease asking him to check her pulse because only Chen Shiguan knew about the fact that she had taken the bone moer, and she was afraid that Shi Shiqi would see the signs in her pulse.
Chen Shiguan knelt down to check his pulse, and then said in a low voice, "Go back to Concubine Xin, your phoenix body and the emperor's heir are all well."
Concubine Xin hurriedly raised her eyes and winked at Le Rong, Le Rong stepped forward in person, waved her hand politely, "Doctor Shi, please."
Embarrassed, Shi Shiqi had to retreat to the outside room for the time being.
Only then did Concubine Xin say to Chen Shiguan, "Everything is going to be all right... You should go and report to the emperor yourself, and say that I was surprised today and the fetal image was unstable. Ask the emperor to come and accompany me~~"
.
Chen Shiguan stuttered slightly, and then suddenly realized, "I obey the order! I will go now——"
Chen Shiguan left quickly, but he didn't expect to come back just as quickly.
Concubine Xin hurriedly made preparations in the warm pavilion, just laying down on the kang, but she didn't expect that she didn't wait for the emperor, and only waited for Chen Shiguan to come back.
"Where's the emperor?" Concubine Xin got up and stared at Chen Shiguan.
Chen Shiguan said in embarrassment, "Go back to Concubine Xin, the emperor is not in the garden. I heard the people in front of the imperial court said that the emperor went to Changchun garden to greet the empress dowager."
Concubine Xin sighed, "So that's it. Then it's all for now, but don't be idle, just go to 'Jiuzhou Qingyan' and wait. When the emperor comes back, you will report it immediately, please The emperor comes!"
.
"Do you know, Concubine Xin has been sending people to guard Qingyan in Jiuzhou today, just waiting for the emperor to accompany her!" Yuqin came over at noon, and couldn't help but babbled as soon as she entered the door.
Wanxi was not in a hurry, she just sat on the edge of the kang holding Yuqin, and stuffed her Tang Pozi into Yuqin's hands.
Although it is still September, the capital is already cold.Before it's time to use charcoal, Mrs. Tang is the best thing.
Yuqin hugged Pozi Tang, the warmth melted into her hands, and she finally calmed down a bit, and then she saw Wanxi's two pairs of small boots on the edge of the kang.
"what is this?"
Although they look like boots, they don't look like the usual ones in the palace.It's simpler and rougher, as if it's just a tube surrounded by felt.
Wanxi knew that Yuqin didn’t know, so she smiled and introduced, “This is called cotton scorpion. It’s a boot tube made of felt, with Ulagrass on the sole, which is moisture-proof, frost-proof, insect-proof and athlete’s foot. It’s light and warm to wear in winter. They are better than the quilted boots contracted by the Inner Palace."
Yuqin murmured and repeated, "Cotton—靰鞡? Ula—grass? They all sound the same!"
Wanxi smiled and blinked, "These big ones are for Yuanzi. Sister, let's see for me, how big is the size? I'm afraid the child's feet are fatter, and I'm afraid he won't be able to get in."
Yuqin pointed to the small pair next to her, "Then these are pomegranate's, of course? You call them little brothers, why are you wearing these?"
Wanxi smiled and tilted her head, "When it gets colder, let them go on ice! Yuanzi can learn to smoke ice cream, even if the pomegranate is small, you can also take an ice boat."
Yuqin's heart also moved slightly, and she couldn't help holding Wanxi's hand, "These are the customs of old Manchuria, right? You have a heart."
In the past, Xiaoqi, Jiujiu and the others also went to play on the ice, but they didn't see Wanxi specially sewing such cotton clothes for them according to the old Manchurian customs, but when it was the prince's turn, Wanxi put more thought into it. up.
Yuqin put away the scorpion, but looked at Wanxi carefully, "You don't care what I told you about Concubine Xin today. After talking about the scorpion for a while, you didn't say anything about it." Let's go~"
Wanxi smiled, took Yuqin's hand and said, "I didn't mean to neglect my sister on purpose, I just cared more about this cotton porcupine in my heart, and didn't take her matter seriously."
Yuqin was stunned, and looked Wanxi up and down carefully, "You man, you forgot who was worried before, how come you are a person who has nothing to do today?"
Wanxi smiled and lowered her head, "Sister thought, she is finally happy, so naturally she has to rely on the emperor's heir to invite favor... It's human nature, let alone her, once anyone in the harem has a child, I'm afraid it will be like this Bar?"
Yuqin gritted her teeth, "I just can't understand her like this! The rest is that Concubine Yu and the others were happy back then, why did I go like this?"
Wanxi smiled softly, "She likes to put on airs, so let her put it off. She is so easy to be proud this time, why don't you tell her to show off? She is pregnant with the child, and the child itself is secondary. She has too many A ostentatious capital is serious!"
Yuqin spat, "The more I can't figure it out, why did the emperor let her succeed? The emperor...how could he forget how much we have suffered from her over the years!"
Only then did Wanxi raise her eyes seriously, and fixed her eyes on Yuqin, "Sister is right, how could the emperor forget? How could the emperor let her succeed!"
Yuqin froze, staring at Wanxi in a daze, stuttering, "Jiu'er, you mean, you mean..."
Wanxi smiled sweetly, "I don't know exactly what the emperor did. But I suddenly felt relieved last night. I always believe in the emperor. I don't believe that the emperor can do such a thing that makes us sad." come."
"It's just that there are always children born in the palace, so as to show the continuous prosperity of the royal family, but whoever it is, I don't believe it will be her turn! Anyway, let's wait and see what the emperor will do. How to treat her depends on what kind of fruit she will 'give birth' after a few months!"
After all, Yuqin can't compare to Wanxi, who had connected with the emperor's heart last night, so she stared at Wanxi worriedly for a long time.
It wasn't until she was sure that Wanxi's eyes were filled with soft smiles, and there was no more tension and tension, that she breathed out, "...you don't know what the emperor has done, so I don't even know. But I know you're going anyway, since you've completely let go of it now, then I'm naturally relieved too."
Wanxi smiled and nodded, "I was just a little bit reluctant to let go of my competitive spirit. I always felt that I had to teach Concubine Xin a lesson to relieve my hatred. Everything was arranged well, but Concubine Xin was useless to us. That prescription, I can't stand it anymore."
"But now that I think about it, what idea can I come up with that surpasses the emperor's? If the emperor has his mind on Concubine Xin, then my idea must be in front of the emperor's mind. Defeated. Naturally, Concubine Xin can only voluntarily jump into the emperor's trap, so we can't take care of our prescription for the time being."
Yuqin sighed again, "Oh, yes."
Wanxi tilted her head and smiled, "Besides, today, sister doesn't feel that the Queen's attitude is a bit funny?"
Yuqin's eyes lit up, "That's right. Before we could reply, the queen gave Concubine Xin a good meal, telling us to relieve our anger!"
Wanxi lowered her head lightly, "There must be a reason for this."
Yuqin bowed her head and thought for a while, "At that time, it was almost time to reach the Summer Resort, and the emperor suddenly ordered the queen to go to Tangquan Palace... Tell me, does this have something to do with Concubine Xin; in the end, the queen is not by the emperor's side , Concubine Xin will be happy, with the Queen's temperament, why not hate to poison Concubine Xin?"
Wanxi raised her brows lightly, "My sister is right. All these things are mixed together. When I think about it now, why do I find it more interesting?"
Yuqin was a little anxious, "Oh, I don't know what charade the emperor is playing with us! I can't wait to find out."
But Wanxi held down Yuqin's hand, "Sister...it's like watching a play, you have to sit down on the stage, wait patiently for the play to unfold from front to back, and let the highlights unfold one by one. After drinking enough tea and leisure, wait for the most exciting scene, and that show will be interesting to watch."
"If the curtain has just opened, the audience has just taken their seats, and the tea has not been brewed to a good taste, then as soon as the curtain opens, the most critical scene will be entered--then how can you taste the eagerness to wait? ?Watching a play, how can you just watch the play on the stage? Watching a play also enjoys the change of mood from waiting to waiting for your wish. My sister said, right? "
Yuqin glanced at Wanxi, couldn't help sighing, and also smiled.
"That's right. Then let's make a pot of good tea, prepare enough melon seeds and pastries, and wait for a good show!"
.
Wanxi Liu Yuqin used up the evening snacks before going back.
The two people on the left and right have to wait for the emperor's movement together, and wait to see how the emperor will treat Concubine Xin.
As a result, they waited until the night fell, and only waited for several decrees issued by the emperor in the Qinzheng Palace, but they never heard that the emperor got up and drove to Concubine Xin's bedroom.
Among these decrees, one is more closely related to the harem: the affairs of the House of Internal Affairs, although the specific affairs are in charge of the minister of the House of Internal Affairs, the prince is also the prime minister above the minister of the House of Internal Affairs.The prince of the Prime Minister's Office of Internal Affairs these years is Prince Zhuang Yunlu.
However, Prince Zhuang has recently been ill and recuperated, and Prince Zhuang can no longer be the master of the Household Affairs, so the emperor decreed that various affairs should be assigned to the kings, princes, concubines, and ministers to take care of them temporarily.
Among them, the affairs of the clan mansion are handled by Prince Jian. (It is Prince Jane, also known as Prince Zheng. An old Prince Jane passed away just now, and this refers to the new Prince Jane who is about to be crowned.)
Zuo Wing Zongxue, Zha Zuo Jin's clan naming and marriage affairs, and Zou Pai's filial piety affairs were written and acted by the prince.
Sixth elder brother and Qin Huitian manage arithmetic affairs.
For the affairs of the Zhongzheng Hall, the three-headed son-in-law, Buten Balezhuer, is acting; for the affairs of the Wuying Hall, the fourth-headed son-in-law, Fu Long'an, is the acting agent.
Through the affairs of the curse hall, Zarafon'a acts as the agent.The affairs of the Fourth Translation Office are written by Yonggui, Wuji, and acting as agents.The pawn shop of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the breeding and banking affairs are handled by Yinglian agents.The affairs of Baodi Temple are handled by the four-character agency.The affairs of the monk record division are acted by Shu Hede.Solve the horse flower horse arrow incident, and act as the agent of Wohe.
Among them, Wanxi couldn't help raising her eyes and glanced at Yuqin, and smiled wickedly, "Oh, the pawn shop of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the job of breeding money, is the most important and most affordable job, the emperor assigned Yinglian to manage it? I remember, wasn't he Ding You in July, why did the emperor entrust him with such an important job?"
Yuqin's face turned red, "He is also the leader of my mother's family, he can be regarded as the official of my mother's family, but I don't want to see him all the time!"
Wanxi smiled and shook her head, "Sister, don't worry, I'm just joking about my sister. But I'm thinking about it, this Yinglian must have a very high ability in making money, so that he can call himself Ding You , the emperor also entrusted him with such an important errand."
Yuqin snorted, "It doesn't matter how he makes money! Anyway, I don't want even one or two of his money!"
Wanxi couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she heard this, "Yinglian gave sister... silver?"
"Of course he doesn't dare to give me money directly. If he has the guts, I'll just take the money and send it to the emperor!"
Yuqin raised her phoenix eyes, her face was full of majesty that cannot be desecrated.
Wanxi felt relieved, "This Yinglian is a capable person, especially with the ability to make money, otherwise the emperor would not have asked him to manage the pawn shop and breeding bank of the Ministry of Internal Affairs when he was worrying. It’s just that this person is a little tricky, even if I admire his talent, I have to tell my sister to be careful about his tricks.”
Wanxi couldn't help sighing softly as she spoke, "Speaking of which, Master Jiu single-handedly promoted Yinglian. When my sister's mother's family came to Beijing, if Jiuye hadn't arranged my sister's mother's family under Yinglian's leadership , Ying Lian, a small head of the House of Internal Affairs, will not gradually come into the emperor's sight."
"Jiu Ye has dedicated his whole life to being a soldier, and he has lived in the world without leaking water. If the only thing that worries me is that Jiu Ye likes luxury. Since Ying Lian was raised by Jiu Ye, he spends money on it In fact, it is exactly the same as Master Jiu. Now he is in charge of the money of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so I am worried..."
Yuqin took Wanxi's hand, "I understand. How did I suffer from Concubine Xin's big loss back then? Wasn't it the time when my father used money from the Yanzheng government to donate to officials? I was also worried that my father would be greedy. Money, I have been in the palace all these years, and I can't reach it with my hands and eyes, and I am afraid that Yinglian has already sent money to my mother's house..."
Wanxi nodded, "Who in this world doesn't love gold and silver? Not to mention uncle, even we are not immune. Therefore, Yinglian Zhouji gave some silver to my sister's mother's house, as long as it is from a kilometer It doesn't matter if it came out of the account. After all, it was Master Jiu who ordered Ying Lian to take care of my sister's mother's house, so it doesn't matter if you spend some money from the account of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Yuqin's eyes turned cold, "... just can't accept the silver that Yinglian sent privately! Jiuer, don't worry, I'll go back now and ask the palace eunuch to go to my mother's house to spread the word. It's still in June I just passed my 40th birthday, and I was in Mulan at that time, so I didn't have time to give my mother's family some rewards; this time I just used this excuse to give them a good warning."
Wanxi also felt relieved, and nodded with a smile, "That's very good."
Yuqin still had a worried look on her face, "My own mother's family, no matter how I warn them, they will definitely listen for me. But I haven't been in the capital for the past four months... I'm afraid of Ying Lian still has connections with Yuse in private."
Wanxi suddenly raised her eyebrows, "Sister said that, I just remembered something. In July, it was rumored that Yinglian Dingyou was going to be relieved of his post and return to his hometown. At that time, Zi Yuse came to me and said that Yinglian asked her to take care of Xian A kid from Angong Official School..."
Wanxi frowned thinking about it at this time, "It's my fault that I didn't ask too much, I just thought that he was a child, and I felt sorry for his life, so I should naturally——Sister asked Ying Lian to use this reason, First put the money into Yuse's hands, saying that Yuse wants to take care of the child, but in fact the big guy in the money is filial to Yuse?"
At that time, Wanxi was worried about the transfer of the money. If she left privately, she would not be able to explain it clearly one day; that's why Wanxi gave the money to Agui. Go to the Tong Yamen, calling for everything to be accounted for, and to be open and transparent.
Yuqin sighed deeply, "Oh, I'm just worried that I won't accept it, and my mother's family won't accept it, but Yuse will accept it behind my back! After all, she is always there, and the annual silver is only 50 taels, let alone Zhou Ji Her mother's family is not enough for her own needs; and her mother's family is poor, a widowed mother with a widowed sister, and several nieces who have lost their parents... The family doesn't even have any money or food to wear armor, so they can only rely on Living on such a few acres of poor land, with a high-spirited tongue and a high-spirited heart, she must not want to be a concubine but not be able to help the family, so she is most likely to take Yinglian's money."
Wanxi was also quite embarrassed.
Regarding Concubine Xin's matter this time, even though her prescription did not come in handy in the end, Yuse contributed the most during the preparation period in the first few months.
In terms of her own heart, why doesn't Wanxi owe Yuse a love?
Wanxi lowered her head and said slowly, "Sister, go back and check it openly and secretly. It would be best if Yuse confiscated Yinglian's money; if Yuse really took it, sister must find out how much Yuse took in total. Sister doesn't have to ask her face to face, just come and tell me quietly, I will try to make up for the money, use Yinglian's father to pay for the funeral, and then I will just give it back."
Yuqin's face turned red, "How can I use your money? I'll check it myself. She is my sister, so she is not my own. But at least I have to fill this hole."
Yuqin took a deep breath, "I celebrated my 450th birthday in June, and the emperor just rewarded me with nine silver ingots, totaling [-] taels. This is just a ready-made place to go!"
Wanxi nodded, "Sister, please don't scold me. Her mother's family is difficult. Although it is unwise for her to do that, it is also human nature. My sister just told her tactfully to reassure her that we will definitely try to help in the future. Just go to her mother's house."
As we spoke, the night was getting darker.
The mother on the lights has already entered the hall to salute, please look at the lights everywhere.This is to remind the masters that it is time to extinguish the lamps and candles and prepare for placement.
After seeing the lights, the keys should be placed on the doors of the palaces.Hu Shijie, the chief inspector of the palace, will personally bring the chief managers of each palace to come to collect all the keys of each palace, and store them in the respect room.
Seeing this, Yuqin hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
Wanxi turned her eyes to look at Yuchan.
Yuchan quickly squatted down with a smile on her face, "It's time to go back to the master and celebrate the master, the emperor is still in Jiuzhou Qingyan, and he didn't mention going to Concubine Xin at all!"
After all the keys are taken away, even the Son of Heaven can no longer just go wherever he wants, otherwise he has to go to the respect room to ask for the key, and he has to take the risk of disturbing the "night watch" temple gods in the palaces, then It means that the emperor lost his virtue.
In the palace, the gate control is the strictest at night, otherwise the Yongshou Palace and the Hall of Mental Cultivation were so close back then, the emperor couldn't walk through the door, he had to climb the wall, didn't he?
Therefore, if the emperor has not moved the place after a while, then it is a clear notice: the emperor will not go tonight!
Only then did Wanxi look at Yuqin and smile.
.
Not only did the emperor not go at all that day, he also didn't go the next day.
What Chen Shiguan brought back from the imperial court was that the emperor had just returned to Beijing from Mulan, and that there were so many shrines and incense offerings in the garden, and he hadn't had time to salute yet.Therefore, the emperor was too busy to burn incense everywhere this day, so he didn't care about entering the harem for the time being.
Chen Shiguan carefully raised his eyes to look at Concubine Xin, "...my minister explained to the emperor the situation of the empress's phoenix violation in detail. The emperor is also very concerned, and has repeatedly ordered my minister to take care of my empress carefully."
"The emperor also said that after all, I am young, and I am just a little doctor. If there are any deficiencies, I should invite the imperial doctor Shi Shiqi to come and serve me."
Concubine Xin closed her eyes heavily, "Are you very concerned? Heh, heh, what's the use of another imperial doctor?"
Chen Shiguan fell to the ground, not daring to speak.
Concubine Xin sighed, "Forget it. This is just two days after returning to Beijing. The emperor wants to burn incense and salute everywhere. Two days should be enough. Let's wait for one or two. After all, it's only three days. Tomorrow he will It's time to finish! I'm waiting, I've been waiting for two days, so what if I wait one more day? I'm not in a hurry, after all, it's still a few months before the baby is born."
Let alone the past few months, after giving birth to the eighth princess six years ago, the emperor left her cold and threw her into the Xianfu Palace, which is actually no different from the cold palace... Six long years, she Didn't they all come through?
Now that the hardships are all over and everything is going well, why can't she wait?
After all, she is pregnant with the emperor's flesh and blood.Even if the emperor doesn't want to see her anymore, he will always care about the child in her belly, won't he?
This night, Concubine Xin silently repeated this kind of self-comfort in her heart, so that she could finally fall asleep.
She never expected that the next morning, shortly after waking up, she heard that the emperor had left the Old Summer Palace, and went to the Changchun Garden to greet the Empress Dowager, and then went back to the Forbidden City!
"Your majesty, he left just like that?" Concubine Xin sat down on the kang in a daze, "He didn't even say that before he left, he would at least come to see me? Or even if he couldn't make it by himself, he should send someone by his side Wei Zhu, or Gao Yuncong, come over to say hello? Are you there, huh?"
Both Le Rong and Le Yi were also sad, but they didn't dare to hide it, they could only shake their heads silently.
Concubine Xin gritted her silver teeth and took a deep breath, "Don't be afraid...don't be afraid! After all, this year, I will be the only one in the palace to meet the congratulations, so the emperor will always have me on top of his heart. No matter what they think, I am too. The most popular person in the harem. After all, it’s not their turn to see my jokes, and it’s too late for them to be jealous of me!”
.
Greetings this morning, both Le Rong and Le Yi advised Concubine Xin not to go, and just asked for a leave through the emperor's heir.
But Concubine Xin was unwilling.
"Go, why don't I go? If I don't go, is it possible that they will laugh at me behind my back? I just want to see their faces face to face. I want to see, they are in front of me. What else can you spit out!"
"If it's more tactful, it's fine, I'm too lazy to argue with them; if it's not nice, I'll faint in front of them immediately, and make them bear the crime of murdering the emperor's heir! ——It's all about me Now I have iron coupons in my belly, not to mention all of them, even if they are empresses and empress dowagers, I can't help it!"
Concubine Xin arrived at the Changchun Immortal Hall with unabated momentum, took big strides, raised her chin proudly, and stepped into the gate of the palace with her eyes closed.
She stopped in front of Mrs. Nala, and just nodded slightly, "The concubine has confessed to the crime. The concubine's stomach is inconvenient, and I dare not hurt the emperor's heir, so I can't salute in front of the empress. I think the master and empress love the emperor's heir. I will never compare myself with my concubine."
Nala's heart was burning with anger, staring at Concubine Xin, he sneered, "I fell down here once before, and I yelled at that moment, and I reported to the emperor again, It’s another good medicinal material from the imperial pharmacy to be moved to your palace at a low price. I might think that this emperor’s heir can’t be kept... But why are you still so arrogant when I look at you today, it’s clear that nothing is wrong? ?”
Concubine Xin rolled her eyes, "My lord, please be careful with your words! Cursing the emperor's heir will not protect you... It is the middle palace, such words are immoral!"
Nalashi shrugged, "You don't need to scare me with this. It's not what you said, it was what you showed that day. If it's not that serious, how could it be so serious?" go?"
Wanxi sat in the first place under the queen's seat, listening quietly, even lowering her head and smiling.
"Sister Concubine Xin, the Emperor himself is very good at medicine. If Concubine Xin recovers so quickly, the Emperor must have arrived in time to see her in person. Even the prescription was prescribed by the Emperor himself?"
Concubine Xin hurriedly turned her head to look at Wanxi, but she was speechless.
Nala chuckled, "That's right, Concubine Xin, tell me, when did the emperor visit you? Or I should ask more bluntly: Did the emperor go or not during the past two days?" Have you seen it?"
Nala glanced at the crowd and smiled, "The emperor is proficient in medical skills, and his eyes are as sharp as a torch. Even though Concubine Xin is making a fuss, the emperor has already seen through that she is fine at all! It's a good thing that she deliberately stayed with us that day. Fainting in front of my eyes, all of us are here, she just wants to blame all of us! What a pity, the emperor will not wrong us sisters because of her."
Nala's eyes were cold, and he looked back at Concubine Xin, "Concubine Xin, in fact, we have been serving in the palace for so many years. Who of us has not heard of the anecdotes of the harem for thousands of years? Like you This kind of drama of inviting pets through pregnancy is really old sesame seeds and rotten millet, and it has long been used by people. It is not new at all, how can you think that the emperor will be fooled by you?"
"Concubine Xin, I thought you were quite smart at first. Is it because you have been locked up in Xianfu Palace alone for too long, that even your brain has become dull?"
.
Wanxi listened quietly, and Yuqin turned her head and snorted softly, "It's really fresh. It's the first time I've seen the master, empress, scolding Gege who was born in Manchuria with a yellow flag like this."
"Finally she can't care less about pointing and scolding us anymore. Maybe she never thought that the one who gave her the most ruthless knife one day will be Gege from their noble Manchurian noble family~~"
Wanxi raised her eyes slowly, "Actually, we have been in the emperor's harem since the day we entered the palace and were sealed. If there were no such differences of family status and blood lineage, life in this harem would have been easier to get along with. It's her Refusing to give up her 'nobility', she decided that we are all 'lowly', now that she is so angry, why doesn't she also feel that everything in the past was slapped on her cheek?"
Yuqin also nodded, "She is already the queen of the palace and the mother of the Qing Dynasty. She is already the most noble among men, and no one can surpass her among women except the empress dowager. It is she herself who still refuses to give up. If you want to fight, if you want to fight, you will be disqualified and willing to be humble!"
Wanxi looked back, and gently pinched Yuqin's hand, "Sister said, will she learn some lessons from this matter this time, so that An An will be proud of herself from now on, don't bother?"
Yuqin glanced at Nala's trembling face with raised eyes, "I see, it's difficult~ as the saying goes, it's easy to change the country, but it's hard to change the nature; she has never really become the queen of the middle palace, and she is still being treated as the queen of the palace. Trapped in the shadow of that unfavorable latent mansion, side Fujin..."
.
Concubine Xin clenched her teeth and tried her best to stand upright on the spot.
Is there any wall in the harem that is airtight?They all knew that the emperor never visited her at all.
"... Your Majesty has been busy with state affairs these two days! Even if your Majesty didn't come to see me for the time being, that's because your Majesty is at a loss. As the Emperor's harem, I should be considerate of my Majesty, how can I hinder my Majesty because of my little matter?" Go? Me, since I understand the situation of the emperor, I am not in a hurry, just wait for the emperor to come back from the palace, and come back to see me naturally."
Concubine Xin's words caused Nala and everyone else to look at her stomach for a while, and made them feel a little sad.
Also, it is not an exaggeration for Concubine Xin to have such confidence.After all, she is pregnant with the emperor's heir, after all, she is the only empress in the harem who is happy this year.The emperor will take care of the emperor's heir, so sooner or later he has to come back to see her.
Wanxi looked indifferent.
"But speaking of it, the emperor's filial piety to the empress dowager will always come first." Wanxi quietly raised her eyes, looked at Concubine Xin, and even smiled slowly, "The emperor is 22 Those who returned to Beijing went to greet the Empress Dowager early on the 23rd; today is the 25th, only one day later, the Emperor got up early to greet the Empress Dowager before returning to the palace."
Wanxi said it like smoke on the water, but Nalashi could hear it, and couldn't help laughing "hey".
"That's right! Who said that the emperor is busy with state affairs, so he has no time to visit anyone? Didn't the emperor visit the empress dowager twice in three days?"
Nala smiled sarcastically, fixed her gaze on Concubine Xin, and watched Concubine Xin's red and white face with enjoyment.
"Besides, Changchun Garden is still far away, but you are in our Old Summer Palace, which is much closer. It's not that the emperor has no skills at all, it's just that people are different after all, and the emperor always has priorities in his heart."
Concubine Xin said bitterly, "No matter what, I can't compare with the Empress Dowager!"
Nalashi giggled again, "Who told you to compare yourself with the empress dowager? It was you who thought, I didn't want to give you this face yet! I just took the child in your stomach and compared it with the empress dowager." Just a little comparison."
"For the emperor, the mother and the heir can be compared on the same scale; but you are not qualified to do so."
As Nala said, he flipped the button on his lapel in satisfaction.
She is a queen, even if she presses the lapel, she uses it more "long-winded" than others.It is not like the plain silver and light "Anlan" used by Wanxi in Anlan Garden, nor is it just hanging rosary beads, she is "hanging nine", hanging a string of nine small things on the lapel : All ear picks, old crow needles, teeth picking needles, and even tongue scraping knives are all hung together.
It was winter now, and the jewelry of the inner court dignitaries had changed from jade to pure gold, so her lapels were nine pieces of gold, all of which were resplendent and eye-catching.The number of those nine pieces, as well as the bright colors, are all enough to put on the airs of being the main palace.
As she fiddled with her fingertips, the string of gold objects collided with each other crisply, sparkling like fireworks.
Listen, it's like a dignified mockery.
"Concubine Xin, look, it turns out that not only you, but also your child is really worthless in the eyes of the emperor." Nala shrugged proudly and sneered, "After all, the emperor is not short of princes at this moment. The emperor can After giving birth to the sixth child and the fourth child one after another, do you see that the emperor lacks a prince? Therefore, even if you give birth to a prince, in the eyes of the emperor, it is worthless."
"Maybe, in the future, the emperor will inherit your son as well!"
Concubine Xin is also a mother after all, and it is always the most unbearable pain when people talk about children.
She raised her head eagerly, and stared fiercely at Nalashi, "The empress said to stay in Germany! If you say something like this today, the empress should be careful, and her children will have such a day in the future!"
Everyone broke up unhappy, between Nala and Concubine Xin, all faces were officially torn apart.The curse has all fallen on their respective children, and there is no turning back.
.
No matter how noisy the harem was, the emperor returned to the palace to attend to business.
The emperor first listened to the government at the Qianqing Gate, and then fasted for three days to sacrifice to the Taimiao; more importantly, at this time, the emperor officially promulgated the "Complete Records of the Imperial Junggar", which clarified the genealogy of the Junggar from ancient times to the present, one by one, It officially drew a successful conclusion for the imperial court to pacify Junggar.
On the first day of October, the emperor officially went to the Taimiao to salute and promulgated the 29th year of Qianlong's constitution (that is, the official calendar issued in advance for the new year).
It was also on this day that the emperor granted titles of grace to all of your capable ministers.
Among them, Liang Shizheng, a scholar of Dongge University, and the crown prince Taifu;
Zhaohui, Ali Gun, Agui, Gao Jin, etc., plus Prince Taibao;
Chen Hongmou, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, also added the prince and Taibao.
When Wanxi got the news, she was only happy for Chen Hongmou.
This day Wanxi specially invited Yongxuan's Fujin Qingzao to speak.
Qing Zao is so clever, and now Wanxi invites her into the garden to talk, and she understands.
She smiled to herself, and said softly, "Don't worry about it, Auntie. Master Chen is not implicated in the case of An Ning."
Back then, An Ning's crime was revealed to the world, and it was all the work of Yin Jishan and Chen Hongmou.Since Yin Jishan had a rift with An Ning, the shogunate persuaded Yin Jishan not to come forward directly to collect evidence of An Ning's crime; besides, Yin Jishan had to worry about his eighth elder brother Yongxuan and his daughter at that time.
Chen Hongmou and Yin Jishan worked together in Jiangnan for many years. Yin Jishan was the governor of Liangjiang, and Chen Hongmou was the governor of Jiangsu.The two are superiors and subordinates in business affairs, and their personal relationship is irreversible. Chen Hongmou blocked Yin Jishan, and participated in the performance himself, exposing all the serious crimes of Li Zhong, An Ning's family member who was in charge of the customs.
It's just that An Ning's serious crimes for many years were not revealed until after his death. The emperor couldn't help but anger the local officials in Jiangnan, thinking that Chen Hongmou, the governor of Jiangsu, should have participated in the performance early.Therefore, the emperor also punished Chen Hongmou, handed Chen Hongmou over to the ministry, and demoted him for punishment; he also removed the governor of Jiangsu and transferred him to Hunan as governor.
When Wanxi heard about it, she couldn't bear it.Although the emperor just reprimanded Chen Hongmou, although the governor of Jiangsu was dismissed, he was transferred to the governor of Hunan at the same level; but after all, in terms of money and grain economy, Hunan was not as important as Jiangsu at that time.
Wanxi sighed softly, "I won't hide it from you. At that moment, I was really worried that Chen Hongmou would be buried forever. I didn't expect that from September last year to today, it was only one year, and Chen Hongmou was not only gone. Hunan fell silent, but was called back to Beijing by the emperor to become an official in the court. First, he was awarded the important post of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and now he has been given the title of Crown Prince Taibao..."
Qing Zao also laughed, "So, on the surface, Huang Amana seems to have ordered Uncle Chen to go, but in his heart, he has given Uncle Chen a great credit!"
Wanxi nodded with satisfaction, "It's not convenient for me to send some congratulatory gifts to Chen Hongmou. Qingzao, I will entrust you, based on your personal friendship with Chen Hongmou, I will send a congratulatory gift to show my respect Mind."
Qing Zao nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, Madam, I know what to do."
Qing Zao said with a mischievous smile, "My Ama and Uncle Chen are already An Ning's mortal enemies. Thinking about the good news of Uncle Chen, Concubine Xin must be the last thing to hear."
Wanxi smiled, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Yu Rui gave Qing Zao a thumbs up with a smile, "What you said is really reasonable! The emperor is too unsympathetic to jade, and now our concubine Xin is still pregnant with the emperor's heir, and the emperor is not worried that concubine Xin will hear it. 'Damn' my brother-in-law's mortal enemy was promoted again within a year, and it was Jia En's title again, why not get angry?"
Qing Zao laughed and clapped his hands, "Aunt Rui is right in my arms! Ouch, I can't help but shed bitter tears on behalf of Concubine Xin~"
.
On the third day of October, the emperor was not in a hurry to return to the Old Summer Palace, but went to the Lama Temple to salute.
On this day, everyone was unprepared, and Hu Shijie personally went to the palaces to deliver decrees, saying that the emperor issued a decree to confer the title of Fucha, a well-behaved woman in the Empress Dowager's Palace, as Chang Zai, named "Fu Chang Zai". ".
Concubine Xin is happy, after the emperor returned to Beijing, he was not merciful, not to mention generous, and while he was not in the garden, he even appointed a newcomer!
As the news spread, the wound on Concubine Xin's heart was severely sprinkled with salt.
If it is said that the emperor granted her brother-in-law's mortal enemy Chen Hongmou the title of grace, she could hold back her breath for the time being; then the emperor "secretly" bestowed the newcomer, she would not be able to swallow this breath no matter what!
This year, she is the only one who is happy in the palace. This year, the emperor should favor her the most in the harem!
How could he suddenly confer the title of newcomer and steal her limelight?
What's more, what is it to be so "sneaky"!
On the fourth day of October, it was a foregone conclusion that the blessings would always be here, and the emperor returned from the Forbidden City to the Old Summer Palace in a leisurely manner.
Concubine Xin couldn't hold back, so she pressed her belly, she had to go to the gate of the palace to meet the emperor in person.
Didn't the emperor always "have no time" to see her?Then she will go to see the emperor by herself, and appear in front of the emperor by herself, so that the emperor can't even see her! .
The Nala family led the harem, and they all greeted the saint outside the palace gate.
You don't need to look at it deliberately, Concubine Xin's distraught look has clearly caught everyone's eyes.
The eyes of Wanxi and Yuqin collided lightly, and the corners of their lips slightly curled up.
Really, he was supposed to be the most proud person in the harem this year, how could he end up like this?
Yuqin said softly, "The emperor bestowed the seal on a well-behaved woman under the empress dowager... Thinking about it now, I suddenly felt that the words you said in the Changchun Fairy Pavilion that day were particularly meaningful. gone?"
"You said that day, the emperor just came back to Beijing, but he went to greet the empress dowager twice in three days--I want to come now. Could it be that the emperor just went to see the little girl under the empress dowager? Jiu'er, you Tell me quickly, could it be that you had a premonition at that time?"
Wanxi looked as calm as water.
"No, where do I have such foresight? Otherwise, I could be a shaman mother-in-law, and I can invite gods by myself..." Wanxi raised her eyes, and quietly glanced at the dry but clear blue sky in October, " Me, I have only been with the emperor for these years, and I can probably feel some abnormalities in the emperor. Just like the emperor just returned to Beijing, he went to the empress dowager's palace twice in three days - it is the emperor's filial piety, in the past three days One small safety, one big safety every five days, but there is no such frequent visit twice in three days."
"I was thinking, maybe the emperor wants to discuss something with the empress dowager; or, something related to the empress dowager's palace is about to happen."
As Wanxi said, she looked back slightly and cast a sideways glance at Concubine Xin.
"But I didn't expect that the emperor actually conferred a newcomer in the empress dowager's palace to make things difficult for her."
Yuqin suddenly realized, so she also smiled, "What's even better, this Fucha clan, I remember you told me, was personally selected by our empress and sent to the empress dowager's palace."
Wanxi also smiled quietly.
"Isn't it? Just because Concubine Xin has quarreled with the queen these days like a black-eyed chicken, and the emperor suddenly bestowed this blessing on him, Concubine Xin must feel that the emperor is blessing the queen and standing On the queen's side."
Yuqin couldn't help smacking her lips, "Tsk tsk, if I were her, I'd be so angry that I would faint now. Oh yes, she collapsed so easily that day, why is she standing so straight today?"
As they spoke, the bright yellow canopies in the distance approached sequentially.
Wanxi and Yuqin also stopped their voices, and stood behind Nala, saluting one by one.
Concubine Xin couldn't wait any longer, and because she was pregnant she didn't need to make a big salute, so she stood out from the crowd, standing alone among the crowd, wanting the emperor to see her at a glance.
She waited, hoped, suppressing the unceasing sorrow in her heart, and stared straight at the leader of Luanjia's team.
The emperor wears uniform and sits on a white horse.
Concubine Xin believed that the emperor must have seen her.
She squatted softly and slightly, making her posture both graceful and a little aggrieved.
With such an appearance, the emperor will naturally understand her state of mind, right?
The Luan driving queue finally stopped, and the emperor got off his horse.Concubine Xin's heart beat wildly - next, is the emperor going to come towards her?
The emperor, he will definitely support her with his own hands, talk softly to her, and maybe apologize a few times.
She was already ready, and when the emperor approached, she would say softly, "I will wait for the emperor for a long time", or she would bring some rain to the pear blossoms by the way.
As long as the emperor loves her, she can fight back beautifully to the humiliation that the empress and the others gave her before!
(Thank you for the monthly tickets and rewards, and thank you Lan and Lingsheuewen for the huge red envelopes, it’s a waste~)
