Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2479 Eight Volumes 4 Unhappy Heart

Following the return of the Emperor Shengjia from Mulan, Shun Ying had already gone through the day ceremony in Jing'an Village wearing filial piety. Although she hadn't released her clothes yet, she no longer needed to live in Jing'an Village, and had already moved back to the garden.

Now that they have returned to the garden, the princesses cannot miss their homework.

In the inner court, there are three princesses, the seventh princess, the eighth princess, and the ninth princess, plus an emperor's granddaughter Mianjin to study together.Shunying was still a little stumbling in her heart, but she had to look up and down with Xiaoqi and Jiujiu.

And Mian Jin is the same age as Xiao Qi, and they were vaccinated together, so the aunt and nephew have a deep bond.

If this happens, among the four little girls, there are three little sisters, aunts and nephews, and Shunying is left alone.

But fortunately, apart from the emperor's daughter and granddaughter, there has always been an old practice of raising the clan Ge Ge in the palace.Most of these princesses are also raised in the palace because they will be betrothed to the princes of various Mongolian tribes in the future, so that they can learn the rules early.Although this person does not live in the inner court, but lives in Duanzemen, but during the day, he can also come in and be served by several princesses.

In front of the clan princesses, the princesses are naturally noble and supreme, and they have always known little about the secrets of the harem. This is only because Shunying is also the daughter of a noble concubine, and her status is no lower than that of Xiaoqi and Jiujiu sisters.

With the support of such clan members, Shunying is no longer afraid of being alone, so she simply continues to be cold-faced with Xiaoqi and Jiujiu, pretending to be afraid of each other.

Jiujiu doesn't care about that, anyway, if you are provoked, just go back to it;
On the contrary, Xiaoqi is an older sister after all, so she can't just watch the sisters go on like this, so she can't help but carefully appease Shunying on weekdays.

After all, Zi Shunying has been sent to Empress Ying's palace at this time, if she and Shunying are so stiff again, why wouldn't Empress Ying also worry about it?
It's October, and the weather in the capital is getting colder every day, and the outside is gradually freezing, and these golden branches and jade leaves are gradually less going out, and they all gather in one room.The usual small conflicts became more and more inescapable.

But at this time, outside the window, it became more and more lively day by day.Because the Empress Dowager's birthday festival in November is coming, and there are lanterns and festoons everywhere outside, as if the Chinese New Year is about to start ahead of schedule.

Xiao Qi raised his head and looked out of the window, and heaved a sigh of relief.

No matter what, the hustle and bustle outside can also attract the attention of these girls, so that the tension inside the window will not be so tense.

In order to close things up, Xiaoqi specially ordered some honey, pastry, and corn sticks from the dining room, and she wanted to take a group of girls to roast and eat them on the big smoked hood.

Because there are many girls in this house, all of them have their share of charcoal, and there is no shortage of charcoal fire, so the smoker in this house is always burning vigorously.The big smoke cage is also big, enough for a seven or eight year old girl's height, and the outside smoke cage is correspondingly big, usually enough for two or three girls to curl up on it to keep warm.Therefore, if you bake some food, there will be only surplus in the place, and there will be no shortage.

The aroma of charcoal grilled food finally joined with the joy outside, making the strings of the girls loosen a bit.

After Jiujiu finished reading today's book, he took a few young clan Gege and climbed onto the kang to eat Galaha.Jiujiu has dexterous hands and eyes, and wins the most. When he is happy, he doesn't care about eating.Shunying, on the other hand, was more willing to ride horses and shoot arrows than to touch the delicate gadgets played by these girls, so she went back to the smoked cage to eat cooked corn sticks, and sat down with Xiaoqi one place.

Xiaoqi is very happy, but she chooses something to say to Shunying.

Shunying talked for a while, then suddenly wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, taking the scorched corners of her mouth as if she had wiped it off.

"...I can see that you are trying to close me. I understand your intentions, and I don't want to be deadlocked with you all the time. But I have something to ask you, the thing I told you last time Son, are you keeping up with Qilin?"
.
Xiao Qi frowned, lowered her head and poked the charcoal fire with the furnace hook.

"If you want to talk to people, you have to meet them. But since I came back in August, I haven't seen Qilin Baoqu yet."

Shunying raised her head, "But he also goes to the palace to study every day. If you are willing to help me, you can find a way. Don't talk about others, your son-in-law, Lawang, will be able to follow Tianer Is Qilin kept in one place?"

"Besides Prince Lawang, there are Eleven Brothers and the others. Eleventh Brother will also go to greet your mother-in-law every three days or two. You just have to say something for me and ask Eleventh Brother to bring a letter over there. Isn't it over?"

Xiaoqi frowned, "Even though Lawang is my son-in-law and Eleventh brother is our elder brother, I am too embarrassed to ask them to spread the word. I have to meet Qilinbao in person. Open your mouth."

"If you, Shunying, think that I can't do this, then you can entrust it to someone else, and don't ask me to ask."

Shunying bit her lips, although she didn't want to, but she knew better in her heart that even if she entrusted a hundred people to ask this question, it would not be as good as Xiaoqi alone.

Shunying took a deep breath, "Forget it, since I entrusted you, I'll just wait for you. Besides, the birthday of Huang Mamu is coming, and the Chinese New Year is coming, so Qilinbao can follow him no matter what. He, Ama, came to the palace to salute, and you will all be able to see him at any rate when the time comes!"

Xiao Qi couldn't help frowning, "That's not sure. After all, I'm already the appointed princess, even if I'm not yet old, I'm not suitable to meet the boys outside."

Shunying was a little unhappy, "In any case, I'll leave it to you. As long as you can see me, you can ask me to understand. At worst, I won't rush you anymore!"

Xiao Qi also sighed secretly, and just gave a false response, "Let's talk when the time comes."
.
After school, Shunying returned to Concubine Ying's bedroom unhappily.

Although Shunying is still underage, she is already eight years old after all, which is comparable to a little princess raised by her mother.Besides, she brought her own nanny and Wen Da together, and she naturally had her own private bedroom in Concubine Ying's palace, so even though she was by Concubine Ying's side, she was actually a little alienated.

Even her nanny Qi Jiashi advised her to get closer to Concubine Ying, but she was quite resistant and said, "Look at it, how should I get close to her? Could it be that I rolled like a twisted candy?" To her arms? Oh, let alone I feel numb, she has never given birth, I am afraid she will also have skin bumps!"

But so guarding the alienation, Shun Ying also felt a little lonely after all.

Occasionally, when Concubine Ying's residence Xianggui and Wu Changzai took the initiative to greet her and reward her with food and things, she was very happy in her heart.

When she came back that night, she took a look at Concubine Ying's bedroom, and was hesitating whether to go over to say hello, when the door of the side hall where Mrs. Xiang lived opened, Mrs. Xiang stood at the door, waving and smiling, "Eighth Princess, come, I have freshly smoked goat's trotters here, come and taste it."

After all, it is the princess, how come there is no mutton eaten in this palace?If it was a dish made of mutton, Shun Ying was not necessarily curious.On the contrary, the sheep's hooves that Mr. Xianggui mentioned, which are usually not on the menu, Shunying thinks they are fresh.

Shunying completely put aside the idea of ​​going to Concubine Ying to pay her respects, and followed Xianggui into the palace.

Coincidentally, they are all smoked on the smoker cage.Shunying raised her eyebrows, and she lost her appetite when she sat down.

Mr. Xianggui went in without knowing it, and said with a smile, "the palace has strict rules about charcoal fires, and smokers are usually not allowed to make these. But do you know, after all, my mother's family is in the Western Regions, and I have been used to eating like this since I was a child." , but it’s not done like this in the dining room. I miss home and miss my mother-in-law, so I will secretly make some, Eighth Princess, don’t let it slip.”

Shunying smiled with little interest, "Mistress Xiang is at ease."

Mr. Xianggui hurriedly handed Shunying a sheep's trotter, but seeing that Shunying didn't put it in his mouth, he hurriedly asked, "Don't you like it? Don't you like it?"

Shunying shook her head, "No. It's my seventh sister who made food in a smoked cage today. I still smell the same in my nostrils, so I can't eat it."

Mr. Xianggui rolled his eyes slightly, then smiled, "The ones that you can't eat, is it the food made by the Seventh Princess, or the Seventh Princess?"

Shun Ying's face turned red.

Mr. Xianggui looked away, smiled on his face, but sighed, "I'll tell you, your mood now, Mrs. Xiang, I was the same back then. When I first entered the palace, because it was Meng Gege, I will go to Ling Guifei's side with Yingfei from time to time. I will treat Ling Guifei as my older sister, and I am willing to do my best for her in everything. I only hope that she can treat Qingfei, Yingfei and the others as well Generally, treat me as a sister."

"It's a pity that I was too naive. After all, my position was low and I was not as smart as them, so she never regarded me as her own. Later, Concubine Yu and Concubine Rong entered the palace one after another, and their mother's family was older than mine. Xuanhe, their status has been higher than mine from the very beginning, and now the imperial concubine probably has forgotten me as a person."

Xianggui turned his eyes quietly, "Eighth princess, I saw you and the seventh princess had a deep friendship before. I remember that you were still young at that time, just a little taller than the edge of the table, you Together with the Seventh Princess and the others at the Duanyang Palace Banquet, you shot rice dumplings with a golden arrow... Among the three little princesses, your arrow technique is the most accurate. You shot a rice dumpling, and you didn't say to give it to Concubine Xin to eat first. I gave it to the Seventh Princess first..."

"I watched from afar at that moment, but I also understood the eighth princess, you are sensible, your cautiousness, and your humiliation... Aren't you cautiously trying to please the eldest daughter of the imperial concubine, the seventh princess, just like me back then? Ingratiate yourself with the concubine Ling?"

"But, now you have been thrown away by Princess Seven and Princess Nine, right? Just like when I was kicked away by Concubine Ling back then."

Shunying raised her eyes immediately, and the eyes ignited, "Ms. Xiang said, their mother and daughter are always like that? So it's not accidental that Seventh Sister treats me so well, but she learned it from her mother. It's impossible to be really nice to me, is it?"

Mr. Xianggui sighed, "For their Qizi men and women, their origins are low, and they are desperate to climb up in this harem. Those who are willing to make friends with them are either as low as themselves, or they are It can be used."

"Unfortunately, neither of our parents are Han Chinese, and we can't learn their tricks to seduce the Lord... We can only be stepped on by them and bullied by them~~"

Shunying stood up abruptly, "It turns out that I have been blind since I was a child, and I still treat them as sisters and younger sisters, and I want to be good to them wholeheartedly!"

"I really... I didn't even see how their mother-in-law bullied my mother-in-law; I didn't realize it until I was treated like this by them. I will never be deceived by them again, and they don't want to bully me anymore I go!"

Xianggui clapped his hands and said, "The eighth princess is worthy of being our pure princess of the Qing Dynasty, she just has ambition!"

Youxiang nobleman coaxed and held it like this, so Shunying happily finished eating the goat's trotters, and went back to rest.

In Concubine Ying's palace, she felt that she had finally found a caring aunt.
.
When Shunying went back, everything was settled, and Mr. Xianggui was also very attentive. He personally asked Wu Lan, a woman under her seat, to bring some yogurt lumps to Shunying, and taught Qi Jia to melt it with charcoal for Shunying, and told Shunying to take a few sips before going to bed. .

To put it bluntly, the sheep's hooves are both leather and tendon. I'm afraid Shunying won't be able to melt them at night.Use some yogurt, can help digestion.

Shunying was sympathetic, and even Qi Jia was very happy to thank her.

Ulan just came back and reported Shunying's and Qi Jia's reactions to Xianggui.

Only then did Lady Xiang sigh with satisfaction, "Now she is lonely, even if she enters our palace, she will not get close to Concubine Ying... At this time, she is the most defenseless in her heart, as long as she If someone treats her better, she will definitely get close to her immediately."

Ulan carefully glanced at Mrs. Xiang, "But we... why bother coaxing her like this? Don't tell Concubine Ying to look down upon her. At any rate, the master lives with Concubine Ying and lives under the eaves." ah."

Mrs. Xiang sneered, "I just don't want to live under the roof like this forever! Look, these people who entered the palace from the Western Regions, no matter they are from Erute Mongolia or returned to the Ministry, each of them has already become a concubine. It is to enjoy the treatment of concubine on the position of concubine. On the contrary, I am the first one to enter the palace, Gege from Erut Mongolia... Entering the palace is a noble person, but until now, 11 years have passed, but I am still just a My lord."

Xianggui entered the palace in the 18th year of Qianlong, earlier than Concubine Yu and Concubine Shen.Because she was the first Gege of Erut Mongolia to enter the palace, the items that the emperor rewarded her in the early days were actually far beyond the treatment that nobles should have.

On the day she entered the palace, the emperor rewarded her with 15 taels of gold, 200 taels of silver, and other things; and among the clothes of a little nobleman, there was a bright yellow satin squirrel cloak.

It's a pity that even though she actually enjoys a very high salary, she was not only demoted because of her own tossing around, but after all these years, she is still just a noble person in terms of status.

"I have been in the palace for 11 years, if I still don't understand the emperor's attitude towards me, then I will have lived these 11 years in vain. I am not as stupid as Concubine Xin, who is still desperately looking forward to returning to favor... ...I, I don't have any fantasies about the emperor anymore."

Xianggui said with a sneer smile, "After all, the emperor is at this age, how many years can I expect him to live? Now I am making decisions on the emperor, why not look far away and see who will be more important in the future?" May inherit the great position."

Now there are three people who are fighting the most fiercely: the legitimate son Yongzhen, the real emperor's eldest son Yongqi, and the third is the emperor's head of the house, Prince Sun Ding, Prince Miande.

On the contrary, Wu Yun, who was in front of Ulan, understood his master's intentions better, so he nodded with a smile, "My servant feels that Brother Mian De has the most direct lineage."

Mr. Xianggui nodded with a smile, "After all, the empress looks down on us even more, even if we post it up on my own initiative, they won't care; as for the fifth elder brother...the adult prince, with full wings, is Concubine Yu If we can't control what's going on, then we will be even more beyond our control."

"On the contrary, it is Brother Mian De, who is very respectful because he is the grandson of the emperor and lives outside; what is even more rare is the mother of Prince Ding'an, Fujin, and Brother Mian De, who always remembers me as a noble person. Come to say hello, and don’t forget to give me a Children’s Day gift.”

Yilali wore filial piety with Shunying in Jing'an Village, and after Xiaoqi and Jiujiu let go first, they had the opportunity to be alone with Shunying for more than a month.

After more than a month of getting along, Yilali has already included Shunying in her overall consideration.After Shunying left Jing'an Village and went back to the palace, the Yilali family couldn't reach Shunying outside the palace, so someone was needed in the palace.

When Shunying came back to the palace, she was formally entrusted to Concubine Ying, and Yilali, taking advantage of Concubine Ying's early return, put her heart and soul into Xianggui.

Ulan vaguely understood this, but she was still a little uneasy, "...the eighth princess is still young after all, and she is a princess after all. What can she do for the master?"

Mrs. Xiang snorted softly, "She's very useful. On the one hand, she can implicate Concubine Ling because of the quarrel between the sisters; on the other hand, I heard that Concubine Yu also went to Jing'an Village. I've seen her before, so using her can still involve Concubine Yu and Yongqi..."

In the current situation where the princes compete for the crown prince, as long as two parties are pulled at the same time, the rest of the people can take advantage of the opportunity to make arrangements, even if the fisherman will benefit.
.
From October to November, Fukang'an was inexplicably depressed all the time.In the upper study room, not to mention that Lawang didn't respond to him, even the princes like Yong Xing and Yong Xing ignored him when they talked to him.

Lawang and Yongxun are just two, after all, they grew up playing together since childhood, and no one wants to put on airs like the prince's son and prince; only Yongxun, who is the first prince and prides himself on his status, has some grudges. .

This day happened to be another archery competition, because the snow had just fallen in front of the archery pavilion, the ground was a little slippery, Fukang'an was always competitive, so he was careless and urged the horses to run too fast, as a result, the horseshoe slipped on the ice, unexpectedly Even the man and the horse fell to the ground!
All the masters and guards, together with the prince and the attendants, rushed forward in exclamation.

Lawang has the most experience, and he went forward to check Fukan'an's leg that was pressed by the side of the horse.

——With the weight of the horse, after slipping like this and falling down for real, with just one leg of the young man Fukang'an, he could easily break it!

Fortunately, Fu Kang'an was clever, and the moment the horse fell, his feet were pulled out of the stirrups, so he didn't pin his legs in the stirrups even though he fell.Although it was pressed, it was pressed alive. Apart from some soreness, it is not likely to break the bone.

However, Fukang'an still yelled out in pain, and when he lowered his eyes, he just shed tears.

All the brothers were taken aback when they saw it—after all these years of studying together and getting along day and night, no one knows that Qilin Bao is a living monkey, and no one has ever seen him cry before.But today, the lumps of tears fell down, it can be seen that it was severely suppressed.

Lawang was so startled that he hurriedly stepped forward to pinch Fukang'an's leg bone again to make sure whether Fukang'an's bone was broken; only Yongxie stood aside with sneering eyes.

Seeing it from the side, Yong Xing couldn't help frowning, "Old Twelve, why are you doing this?"

Yong Xin shrugged his shoulders, "Why, why? He fell down, and you are good to him, so you are rushing to make a fool of me? Brother Eleven, let me tell you, it really doesn't make sense for you to follow me like this. !"

Yong Xing narrowed his eyes, "Then why are you laughing?"

Yong Xing glanced at Yong Xing quietly, "I was thinking, hey, what's going on in the study here? Originally, there was only one lame starling, and then a fifth brother was added; what's the matter, why do we need more of them today? "

Yongzhen said arrogantly and raised his head high, "Huang Ama has repeatedly emphasized that riding and archery is the foundation of Manchu people. Even in the family of princes, children who cannot bow horses, ride and shoot cannot inherit the title... let alone I'm royal!"

"But the legs are the foundation of riding and shooting. If the legs are broken, you can't expect to be good at riding and shooting... Fifth brother and eighth brother are already like this. Eleventh brother, don't you think so?"

Although the two brothers whispered by the side, although the pitch was not high, it was still heard by Qilin, who was sharper than a monkey.

Fukang'an sat on the ground with his legs crossed, his eyes were still red, but his thin lips were raised lightly, and he sneered mockingly, "Brother Twelve, don't worry about others, why not worry about your own height! The so-called 'Qi Qi' 'Used together, the meaning of the words is the same; and the pronunciation in Chinese characters is exactly the same. Therefore, when the Han master calls the name of the fifth elder brother, it sounds exactly the same as the twelve elder brothers!"

"The twelfth elder brother is still joking that the fifth elder brother has a leg disease. The twelve elder brothers are not afraid. With the same name and the same life, sooner or later they will also get the same problem?"

As the only living prince, Yongzheng has never been treated this way, so annoyed, he stepped forward and pointed at Fukang'an's nose, "Bold slave!"

(For those who go to work and go to school, please yawn, come on!)
