Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2461 Seven Volumes 165

Yin Jishan discussed the matter of sending raw silk abroad, which is an extremely sensitive matter, and if you are not careful, you will go against the dragon scale.Therefore, when Yongqi heard the news, she secretly celebrated it.

If Yin Jishan angered the emperor, Yongxuan would definitely be implicated;

Moreover, there were quite a few conservative ministers in the previous dynasty, and they were opposed to doing business with foreigners, let alone raw silk. Therefore, Yin Jishan's appointment must have attracted a lot of opposition in the previous court.If the emperor is dissatisfied with Yin Jishan any more, then those who disagree with Yin Jishan will no longer support Yongxuan.

Yong Qi just waited, after this incident, he could sit back and get a group of ministers to support him.

Among the adult princes, only he and Yongxuan are left to compete.Ministers who do not support Yongxuan have no choice, at least for now, they can only be close to him.

But Yongqi never expected that within a few days of Ruyi's calculation, the emperor actually approved Yin Jishan's performance and issued an edict to formally relax the ban on life and death going abroad.Not only did Yin Jishan not offend the emperor, but through this incident, the ministers saw how much the emperor attached importance to Yin Jishan.

Yong Qi could only watch helplessly, and from the next day onwards in the upper study, the masters and masters were extra polite to Yong Xuan.

Originally, both of them were once helpless princes, Yongxuan's biological mother, the imperial concubine Shujia, died young, and Yongqi's own biological mother was not favored, so the ministers originally paid more attention to the comparison of their own advantages and disadvantages.

He is sure that he himself is better than Yongxuan in everything.At least, his legs are fine!
But now it's good, his leg is also suffering from something wrong.

As for Yongxuan, she got Yin Jishan, a dependable father-in-law.On the other hand, Yongqi herself, her father-in-law's family has been in decline, and his father-in-law was finally promoted to governor after many years, but before he could take office, he died.

As a result, Yong Qi has to face the reality: the status between him and the eighth elder brother Yong Xuan has been reshuffled.Originally, he was stronger than Yongxuan in everything, but now, because Yin Jishan, a capable father-in-law, can be relied on, Yongxuan has reversed the decline, not only gradually equaling his status, but even faintly surpassing him in the heart of his father. His trend went.

Yongqi couldn't help being depressed, and was eager to get the support of the clan princes and ministers.But at this time, he had no good plan - in desperation, he set his eyes on the group of obscure people outside the Fuyuan gate, but squatted at the bottom of the wall every day to guard them.

——That group of people actually came here on orders.

For a long time, the princes and princes in the capital, Baylor, would send guards or pens to the Forbidden City, the Old Summer Palace, etc. to inquire about the dynamics of the court and the emperor, such as what was played in the yamen today, which ministers the emperor summoned, the emperor's itinerary, etc. Then write the "Enlightenment" report.

Those people that Yongqi thought of were the guards and pentieshi from various princely mansions in the capital.

When the emperor stayed in the Old Summer Palace, the other gates of the Old Summer Palace were strictly managed, making it difficult for outsiders to get news.Only inside the gate of Fuyuan, because it is mainly the residence of the princes, and it is next to the Ruyi Pavilion, the management of daily entry and exit is relatively relaxed.

And just like Yong Qi, the prince has grown up, although the court has strictly prohibited the prince from making friends with the ministers privately, but which prince can seriously stop making friends with the ministers?Therefore, it is tacitly understood that there are some princes who know who is outside, but they don't ask questions, and second, they occasionally leak some information on purpose.

Yongqi had no other choice, and was unwilling to be surpassed by Yongxuan, so she had to use this almost desperate method.

He can give the princes the inner court news they need, and he needs their support.After all, it’s what everyone needs, right?
He sat in the study and thought alone for a long time, and finally called the eunuch Haha Zhuzi who had been serving him since he was a child: San De, Si Shu, and Liu Yi all came in.Divide the twenty princes in the capital into several veins, and hand them over to them respectively, tell them to look at each other, and first go to the gate of Fuyuan to "recognize people".

"You can hang around with them as much as you can, and when you get along well in the future, look for opportunities, bring in the important ones, and talk to me in front of me."
.
Le Rong and Le Yi went to Jiuzhou Qingyan to meet the emperor according to Concubine Xin's request. Since the two of them left the door of her bedroom, Concubine Xin has been eagerly looking forward to the emperor's arrival.

There must be no scandal in the royal family, especially not on the emperor's heir.

The fourth princess's hand was like that, so the emperor chose Fu Heng's eldest son as his son-in-law, and hid the secret of the fourth princess in the home of the most trusted courtier; as for her Shunying, the emperor knew that something was wrong with Shunying since she was a child , but after all, the child was still young at that time, the emperor may have forgotten it in the past few years.

It doesn't matter if you forget, she will remind the emperor.

If the emperor is afraid that this scandal will spread, he can only come here quickly.

Concubine Xin became ruthless when she thought of this.

She knew that as a mother, she shouldn't take advantage of her daughter's sore spots.It's just that she has no choice at this time.

Besides, in this harem, mothers are always valued by their sons, and sons are valued by their mothers. The mother and daughter should be dependent on each other, and both will be prosperous.Now this hurdle is a matter of life and death for her, if she can't get through it, this life will be dealt with like this, then who will Shunying rely on to protect her in the future?

The rest of the harem?Hehe, no matter how hard the adoptive mother is, she will still be behind the belly after all, how can she compare to the biological mother.

She doesn't trust anyone in the harem except herself; Shunying is her daughter, so Shunying should not be able to rely on anyone!
Therefore, she used her daughter to save her own life this time, which is not only her selfishness, let alone for her daughter?She has to survive, she has to personally protect her daughter from growing up.

Anxious heart, every moment of waiting is a kind of torment.In such a state of mind, she doesn't even know how long the real situation has passed. She only knows the feeling of waiting tonight, not just living like a year.

In the dark night, Le Rong and Le Yi finally came back.

The expressions of the two were a little cramped, and no one dared to look up at her when they came in front of her.

Concubine Xin took a deep breath, "Have you seen the emperor? What did the emperor say?"

It is absolutely impossible for the emperor to not care about Shunying's abnormality!
Le Rong and Le Yi still didn't dare to look up, they could only look at me and I at you.

Concubine Xin panicked at the message, and slapped the kang table anxiously, "You two, you are talking!"

Le Rong and Yue Yi hurriedly pleaded guilty, "Back to the master, the two slaves went away according to the order, and they both met the emperor. The two slaves gave the emperor all the words that the master confessed..."

"Then what did the emperor say? Even if he didn't come tonight, will he come tomorrow?!" Concubine Xin's voice was sharp and hoarse, and she slapped the kang again, "Indeed Talk! Why have you become a gourd with a dull mouth today!"

Both Le Rong and Le Yi looked pale at each other, and hurriedly said, "It's not that the slave doesn't return to the master, it's really, it's really..."

Concubine Xin was so annoyed that she grabbed the tea bowl and flew over the heads of the two of them, "Who gave you the courage to talk like this!"

The teacup flew past Leyi's cheek, but it didn't hit hard, but the rim of the bowl also rubbed against Leyi's cheekbone, leaving a bloodstain!

Yue Yi was startled and frightened, and her hatred redoubled.

She went all out and shouted, "It's the emperor who didn't say anything at all! No matter how much the two slaves talk, the emperor just listened quietly and didn't say a word!"

The pain in the cheekbones spread more and more, and Leyi's annoyance finally overcame her fear little by little.

She lowered her head, trying to hide her smile.

Just now, she had some sympathy for Concubine Xin, after all, ten years of master and servant will go together; but this tea bowl flew over, and wiped out all the affection of these ten years!At this moment, seeing Concubine Xin's desperate appearance, she lost even the slightest bit of pity, and what was left was joy!
Thinking back to how she and Le Rong talked about how Concubine Xin drank the birth-transfer medicine back then, and made the eighth princess look like a brother, a brother, a princess, and a princess, the emperor's face was full of anger, Stamping and cursing, "Bitch-man!"

Hearing the emperor's scolding, Le Rong and her tacitly agreed, and hurriedly presented evidence to claim credit.

Le Rong ran into the dregs of the reincarnation medicine that Concubine Xin drank back then to testify; while Le Yi herself unhurriedly took out the bed sheet that Concubine Xin had leaked red and dyed red—who called Concubine Xin herself? Why don't you insist on not using the menstrual belt, but just fold it up with toilet paper?Without the fixation of the menstrual belt, the toilet paper would inevitably move at night, and the mattress sheet would be stained red every month.

Concubine Xin could only give the mattress to her and Le Rong, and told them not to send it to the Clothes Bureau, but only asked them to take it back to the side room where they lived, and wash it with their own hands behind their backs. go.

That thing... who would rarely touch it with his own hands?Le Rong found a reason to shirk every time, and threw it to her.

She resigned herself to her fate earlier, pinching her nose and washing her hands forcefully.Later, she couldn't stand it anymore, and because she wanted to leave evidence, she didn't wash it again. Instead, she carefully stored the sheets and hid them in the movable bricks of the fire wall.

Fortunately, Concubine Xin herself is also hypocritical, and Concubine Xin is unwilling to use the stained mattress sheets, so she almost never asks where those mattress sheets go.

When Le Yi lowered her eyes, she seemed to see the emperor's angry face again... Le Yi suppressed her smile and rubbed her hands secretly.

The bloody filth that was once forced to be washed by hand can finally be wiped off.

Leyi put both hands back, raised her head quietly, stared at Concubine Xin, and said calmly, "...the emperor did not comment on the matter of the master and the eighth princess with the slaves. The emperor did not He only said something irrelevant to the two servants—the emperor said that he would confer the title of Concubine Yu, a well-behaved girl, Bai Shi, as the permanent presence. The name is 'Na Changzai'."
.
"What did you say?"

As if she couldn't believe her ears, Concubine Xin tilted her head and turned one ear more towards the direction of Yue Yi, as if she could hear more clearly and more likely to hear what she wanted to hear.

Le Yi held back a hateful smile, and calmly raised her eyes to look at Concubine Xin.

"Returning to the master, the emperor just told the two slaves that he would bestow the concubine Concubine Yu on the master's position as a well-behaved girl, Bai Shi, so that she will always be there."

"The slave thought, the emperor just passed the decree, and there is no need to do it in front of the two slaves. But the emperor just did that, and the slave couldn't help but think to himself, maybe the emperor deliberately said it to the two slaves. Well, the emperor intends to ask the two servants to come back to the master, and pass these words on to the master..."

Concubine Xin stretched her arms, she was so annoyed that she simply dragged the whole kang to the ground.

The kangs in the palace are not as good as the kangs made of old elm wood used by the people. As the saying goes, "old elm lumps" are hard, and the folk kangs just fall to the ground. Well, the two scumbags are not taken away; but the kangs in the palace are all carefully crafted and must be treated carefully.

Just like the one used by Concubine Xin, it is made of sandalwood, and the circumference of the table is hollowed out and carved.When it fell to the ground, not to mention the table top and table legs, several petals of the carved fence had already been chopped off.

Seeing the brokenness of this place, Concubine Xin couldn't relieve her anger, on the contrary, the more she looked at it, the more uncomfortable she became.

"You said that the emperor deliberately let me know?"

Le Yi lowered her eyes leisurely, "That's right. The emperor seems to want to give this good news to the newcomer, and the master should be the first to know."

Concubine Xin suddenly put her head in her hands and let out a scream!
"...Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I just came back from Mulan last year, and I didn't see him take good care of me, but I just watched him confer three permanent presences in a month! It's so easy to wait until I officially meet Xi, I thought he should come to accompany me anyway, but he bestowed the fourth newcomer, the little Fucha family!"

"Now it's March, and it's the end of March. My baby is full in October, and it's time to give birth. He unexpectedly caught up with this juncture and conferred the fifth one!"

"How many years has it been since he conferred newcomers one after another in such a breath? What's more, what is the age of the emperor this year, and he is still like this? After all, he refuses to accept his old age and wants to use these newcomers to prove himself The treasured sword is not old; you still want to show it to me on purpose, deliberately choose the key points during my pregnancy to stop my mouth, huh?!"

Yue Yi was more leisurely, but instead turned her eyes and blinked at Le Rong.

Whether the emperor intentionally targeted Concubine Xin to confer newcomers, no one can say for sure; but the Emperor chose all these newcomers at the key points of Concubine Xin's pregnancy - then I have to say, it's true What a coincidence.

Le Yi became more and more relaxed, but Le Rong couldn't bear it. He met Le Yi's eyes apologetically, and quickly got up to support Concubine Xin, and bent down to pick up the broken kang , put it aside.

Seeing Le Rong like this, Le Yi couldn't help but sneer, and deliberately said, "Among the group of newcomers who entered the palace last year, this newly conferred is now the fifth person who is here often. The servant can't help but wonder, is there anything going on after this? Your Majesty has really broken many years of practice this year."

"It's a coincidence that apart from Fu Xu, the other four are always here, and they are all from the House of Internal Affairs... Tsk tsk, it's really rare for the emperor to praise the group of women from the Ladder House in the Household this year. I don’t know if it’s because the noble concubine and master were born in the House of Internal Affairs, but the emperor asked the emperor to attach so much importance to the girls of the House of Internal Affairs this year~~”

Yue Yi's words successfully stabbed Concubine Xin's heart again.

Concubine Xin stomped her feet and screamed, "The emperor favors the woman in a coat from the Ministry of Internal Affairs! Who is he showing this to? I am Gege from Manchuria with the Yellow Banner, how can I be compared with those hooves?!"

Seeing Concubine Xin's gaffe, Le Yi lowered her eyes leisurely, "Master is right, the House of Internal Affairs is only a slave in front of the master, who is covered with a yellow flag Manchuria and nobles like him. The heart of a slave I also feel it's unfair. It doesn't matter who the emperor bestows this year, but the important thing is, how can the emperor not come to accompany the master for several months because of a few coated women from the House of Internal Affairs, especially when the master is about to give birth? At this time, why don't you even bother to see the master?"

Concubine Xin was terrified and terrified that night, and she was also very angry and sad. She fell asleep that night and had nightmares. She sat up suddenly several times in the middle of the night, screaming and screaming, sweating through her heavy clothes.

Concubine Xin is in such a situation, she should go and invite the imperial physician.It's just that it's so late at night, it's not convenient to ask the imperial physician.

What's more, Concubine Xin's own palace has a doctor who guards the moon ready-made, and the doctor who guards the moon is personally ordered by the empress and the emperor, so even if the imperial doctor in the imperial hospital accepts Concubine Xin's request, it is inconvenient Come and serve.

However, the emperor once issued an order that Chen Shiguan was not allowed to enter again, and he was only allowed to wait in the value room outside.

Therefore, Le Rong and Le Yi could only go to Doctor Shouyue's duty room in the end, and relayed the situation to Chen Shiguan. Chen Shiguan, who was like a bullfighting across the mountain, just prescribed Anshen Decoction in a daze.
.
After this night, Concubine Xin calmed down a little after two days, but her expression was already in a trance.

He often grabbed Le Rong and Le Yi's hands and asked, "Where's my seventeenth elder brother? He's still sleeping, isn't he? Hurry up and hug me and show me. He must miss his mother, me, Miss him too."

Or just grabbed Sun's arm and shouted coquettishly, "Er Niang... I gave birth to seventeen elder brothers this time, why don't you come in to accompany me? Didn't you teach your daughter that the most important thing to come to the palace is Do I have to give birth to a prince? As you said, even the current empress and empress are all just yellow flags, let alone the imperial concubine. Both of their flags are under me. If I give birth to a prince, then It's the serious elder brother from Manchuria with the Yellow Banner going!"

After making such a fuss, everyone in her palace understood that the master was worried and was temporarily blinded.

But at this moment, no one dared to tell the truth, after all, counting according to the days, within five or six days, it should be the day when the master gave birth.

The last few people discussed and carefully brought the eighth princess Shunying over.

As soon as Concubine Xin saw Shunying, she cried and hugged her, and shouted, "Shunhua...you're fine, you're back with Erniang, aren't you? That's great, Erniang has Shunying, everything is fine. Don't worry anymore. Shunying, don't leave Eniang again, okay?"

Although the eighth princess is still a child, she is not young after all, she is seven years old this year.Besides, the girl's family was sensible earlier, so at this moment, being hugged by her mother like this, crying, she couldn't help crying, and tried her best not to tell the truth, but her neck was stuck back, and she didn't invest in her mother. On the contrary, it seemed to want to retreat, wishing to turn around and run away.

Seeing the appearance of the eighth princess, Le Rong and the others felt sad.

The eighth princess and the sixth princess are sisters, so there are natural similarities.But Concubine Xin directly mistook the eighth princess for the sixth princess in this way, even everyone knew that the sixth princess was a good princess after all, and there was no hidden disease in her body; and the eighth princess, alas...

I am afraid that the master also has such regrets in his heart. If she can choose by herself, maybe she would rather the sixth princess live than the eighth princess to die?
Concubine Xin's palace was already in such a mess, but the emperor still didn't take a look.

Even, on March 22, just one day later, the emperor made another decree and bestowed the title on the sixth person! ——This time, Concubine Ying was bestowed as a well-behaved girl in high school, and she was Wu Changzai.

Concubine Xin's irritation from Chang Zai's bestowal hadn't subsided yet, and Wu Changzai's bestowal made things worse.Mao Tuaner came to deliver the decree, Concubine Xin felt like seeing a ghost, she had another fit on the spot, screamed and rushed away from the crowd, and ran back to the bedroom.

I don't know if she was frightened by Mao Tuan'er's sudden appearance, or if she was stimulated by Wu Changzai's conferment, or if she was hurt by that wild run... In short, on that night, Concubine Xin Holding my stomach and yelling about abdominal pain.

Sun and Wu thought it was Concubine Xin's contractions, and it was time to give birth.Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Wu were busy looking after Concubine Xin, and at the same time, according to the rules of the empress's birth, they reported the good news to Wang Chenggui, the chief eunuch on duty in the palace watch room outside the palace gate.

Wang Chenggui immediately sent three groups of people to report to the emperor, empress, and empress dowager respectively.
.
That night, the emperor is said to have turned over the newly granted Wu Changzai sign, and it is not suitable to go out.Besides, childbirth is a matter of blood and light, and it is inconvenient for the emperor to be there in person.

So Nala was the only one who rushed to Concubine Xin's bedroom overnight.

When Nala arrived, Concubine Xin was already holding her belly, writhing in pain.

Neither Sun nor Wu could hold back.

A big rope has been hanging from the beam of the house, which can be used by Concubine Xin to make it easier for her to give birth.But Concubine Xin didn't even have the strength to hold the big rope, she just covered her stomach with both hands and wailed.

Both Sun and Wu were so anxious that their foreheads were sweating, and they persuaded each other, "Master Xin can't keep screaming like this, otherwise it will be boring to bring back the heat! Master Xin gritted his teeth and endured it." If you can't help it, you will grab this rope..."

Nalashi didn't even enter the threshold of the Nuan Pavilion, but only looked through the gate, sneered lightly, turned back to Tana and said: "At any rate, I have given birth to a child, no matter how painful it is, You shouldn't be so coquettish...Who is this for, is it for the emperor to see and love her even more?"

Tana chuckled and said in a low voice, "It's a pity that the emperor didn't come, so he couldn't see it."

Everything for the production has been prepared, and the Xinuang Pavilion has also been temporarily turned into a place for worshiping the gods.The ancestral board is dedicated to the gods of the ancestors, as well as the goddess of fertility and offspring believed by the Manchus.

Nala went to offer incense as a queen, but before offering incense, she hesitated and asked Tana, "Look at her, isn't there something in her stomach?"
