Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2523 Nine Volumes 5 I Can't Help but Want to Give You a Little Surprise
When I came back to the Mountain Resort, I had to rest for a few more days before I officially returned to Luan.

Because Wanxi has a body, she is even more cautious.The emperor simply took Wanxi back to his side, so there was no need for Wanxi to set rules in the empress dowager's palace.

The emperor was so careful with Wanxi, although the empress dowager was a little unhappy.But after all, the emperor's heir is the most important thing, and Wanxi is old after all, and the empress dowager can't stop her after all.

Wanxi went back to the emperor's side, and when she entered the bedroom, she didn't expect a big surprise in front of her eyes.

It was Yong Xing who came and knelt down to greet Wan Xi from afar.

It is obvious that this is the emperor's general Yong Qi who drove back to Beijing, and Yong Xing came to pick him up.

Wanxi hurriedly stretched out her hand and shouted, "Why did you rush over here? Shouldn't you be preparing for next year's wedding with your Concubine Shu right now?"

Yong Xing smiled faintly, "Fifth Brother originally accompanied the driver, but suddenly returned to Beijing; Huang Ama specially ordered his son to come here on horseback, just to serve Huang Ama and Huang Guifei Erniang."

Accompanying the four princes, Yong Qi suddenly returns to Beijing, Xiao Shiwu is too young, Yong Xuan herself has a leg problem, and there is only the [-]th elder brother Yong Xing in the middle... It is appropriate for the emperor to call Yong Xing.

Among the four princes, Yong Xuan and Yong Xing are native brothers, the little fifteen is with the two of them, even if there may be some disturbance in Yong Xing's heart, there will be no fuss.

Wanxi felt relieved, so she didn't say anything, she just grabbed Yongxing's arm, "Old Eleven, Erniang handed over Little Shiwu to you and your starling."

Yong Xing knelt down on one leg again, "Don't worry about the imperial concubine, Er Niang, my son will definitely sleep with the fifteenth brother all the way."

Yong Xing finally smiled when he said that, "My son has already heard about your congratulations to Er Niang. Now, my son congratulates Er Niang!"

Yong Xing lowered his voice again, "Over there in Yuqing Palace, Er Niang just let her son go. Even if the old twelve hasn't moved out of Yuqing Palace, even if my son wants to prepare for his marriage, he will still keep an eye on it. I will never make any noise while Erniang is raising her body."

Now among the princes who are still unmarried, only Yong Xing, Yong Xing and Xiao Shiwu are left.Yuqing Palace is far away from the inner court, and Wanxi is a little out of reach.Although Mao Tuan'er was following there, Mao Tuan'er was an eunuch after all, so it was not easy to know what was going on among the princes.

If Yong Xing was dedicated, she would feel relieved a lot.

After all, both Yong Xing and Yong Xing are planning to get married this year, and they should get married next year, so they will both move out of Yuqing Palace and live alone.Then there is no need to worry that Yong Xin will be unfavorable to Xiao Shiwu.

Wan Xi let go of Xiao Shiwu's side, but because of Yong Xing's sensibleness, she felt a little sad.

Wanxi grabbed Yong Xing's hand and said, "Silly boy, although you have a deep brotherhood, the matter of protecting Xiao Shiwu is ultimately a matter for adults like Erniang, and it shouldn't be your responsibility to help Erniang. .”

"Besides, your wedding is coming soon, and there are still many complicated things that you need to take care of..."

After all, Yong Xing is also a prince. Before the emperor formally decreed to establish a heir, why would Yong Xing have no hope of being a heir?So even though Xiao Shiwu was her own son, Wanxi was reluctant to call Yong Xun to protect Xiao Shiwu, as if she had to decide between the two brothers so early.

She was kind to Yong Xing since childhood, not in exchange for Yong Xing's support for Xiao Shiwu today.In the year when Imperial Concubine Shujia passed away, let alone Xiaoshiwu, she hadn't even given birth to Xiaoqi, so she never knew that she would be blessed with so many heirs in the future.After all, that was what she promised to the imperial concubine Shujia, and it was the support of the imperial concubine Shujia before she left.

Therefore, it was because of the promise she made to the imperial concubine Shujia back then, and she didn't want to wrong the child Yongxing at this moment.
.
Having no mother since childhood, and being the same age as the first prince Yongzheng, Yongxin, who has suffered a lot of uselessness since childhood, is more sensible than the other princes.Besides, they have grown up now, and they are all about to get married, so they understand all Wanxi's words.

Yongxuan smiled to himself, raised his eyes and looked at Wanxi earnestly, "My son understands Erniang's intentions. Even if my son is about to get married, there will always be Concubine Shu Erniang and the Household Office to help; Fifteen, being able to play with such a younger brother every day, it is the little Fifteen who brings a lot of laughter to his son."

Wanxi smiled and nodded, "In my heart, you are my son just like Xiaoshiwu."

Yongxing saluted again, "Emiang, the imperial concubine, raised all the sons, and the sons are naturally the sons of the emiang, the imperial concubine."
.
After resting in the Mountain Resort for a few days, on September [-], the emperor formally honored the Empress Dowager and returned from the Mountain Resort.

On September 22, after returning to Beijing, the emperor took the harem back to stay in Yuanmingyuan.

When Wanxi met Concubine Shu, Concubine Wan, Xiaoqi, and Jiujiu, they were filled with unspeakable joy.

Xiaoqi and Jiujiu are both older than Xiaoshiwu, and they are girls, so they are even more cautious about the pomegranate matter, and refuse to mention it in front of Erniang, so as not to arouse Erniang's sadness again.

This time Erniang finally came back with a happy message, and the two little sisters sneaked out of the Nuan Pavilion, hugging their heads together, crying.

The two of them are not the same as Xiao Shiwu. After all, Xiao Shiwu is the prince and can stay with Er Niang for the rest of his life; but as for them, they have already been married by Huang Ama, and they are getting older every year. See you, one day you will marry out of the palace, and you can no longer love each other day and night at your mother's knees.Thinking about how uncomfortable it would be if Erniang encountered any sad things in the future and they couldn't be by her side.

Xiaoqi, who is still an older sister, stopped crying first, and instead joked and tweeted, "Huang Ama is in the summer resort and asked Zhalan to inherit the duke of General Zhaohui. You should be happy now, don't cry with me gone."

Jiujiu blushed and smiled through tears, "My sister is bullying me again! It's like my brother-in-law didn't become a duke when he was three or four years old, and he was several years earlier than Zalan!"

Jiujiu said, secretly picking Xiaoqi's ear, "I was in the study room, listening to a group of boys talking. It is said that Huang Ama cut off the prince and that Sangzhai Dorji, who confiscated the family property, is my sister's father-in-law. It was reported to the first. Brother Wu came back from the summer resort and was in a hurry to deal with this matter."

Jiujiu blinked at Xiaoqi, "My father-in-law has passed away anyway, but it's not as good as my sister's father-in-law who can help us..."

Xiao Qi hurriedly raised her finger, "Shh~"

Jiujiu smiled and blinked, "Sister, please be happy, don't shed tears. Otherwise, Enie will be sad again when she sees it."
.
The imperial concubine came back with a happy message, and all the princesses, princes, and grandsons Fujin hurriedly handed over signs to see her, and they all entered to congratulate Wanxi.

The fourth princess and Jia came into the palace this time, and finally did not bring Fukang'an with them.But I didn't see Fu Ling who everyone wanted to see sooner.

Having not seen Fuling twice, Wanxi felt a little worried, and quietly asked Princess Hejia why. "But Fuling feels that Zhuanxiang has no status in your mansion, so it's a bit uncomfortable to come into the palace?"

The fourth princess shook her head, "It doesn't look like it to me. Fuling and Aunt Zhuanxiang have similar temperaments. Both are tough people, and they don't have any worries about procrastination. When I see her not coming, I really don't want to come. It's not about anything."

Wanxi frowned, "Or...she didn't like this marriage?"

Wanxi thought of Zhuanxiang.The reason why Zhuanxiang didn't want a status these years was because he didn't want to get involved in the battle in Jiuye's back residence.Zhuanxiang's admiration for Master Jiu is simply admiration, and this child Fuling is the crystallization of this admiration, not the capital that Zhuanxiang wants to win for himself.

Fuling is Zhuanxiang's daughter, could it be that Fuling herself doesn't like harem battles?Now that the position of the crown prince has not been determined, it is obvious that after Fu Ling marries into the palace, she cannot avoid the battles among the princes, so why is she going to hide away when she can?
Wanxi lowered her head and thought for a while, and the words Yongxing said in the summer resort echoed in her ears again, so she softly told the fourth princess, "You tell Fuling, that child Yongxing is a sensible child. What should I do?" What to do and what not to do, Yong Xing is clear in his heart."

"Even if she enters the palace in the future, Concubine Shu is her mother-in-law and aunt, so she will definitely take care of her in everything."

Not to mention Wanxi herself, but at this moment Wanxi should put Concubine Shu first.

The fourth princess nodded, "Don't worry, Ma'am, I will tell her to go after I return to the mansion. Now that she is my sister-in-law and my younger brother and sister, I am willing to ask her to go with anything."

Wanxi let go of Fuling's concern, and asked again, "That kid Qilinbao...he's grown up this time, so he didn't try to follow him in."

"Huh~" The fourth princess was also helpless when talking about this little uncle, "How can he stop himself? He has already tried every means to haunt my princess's mansion. His brother is not in Beijing, and he is driving the summer resort. Can't fix him anymore."

"Even later, when my father-in-law came back to Beijing, he personally held him by the collar and locked him into his room, and he was not allowed to come out. My father-in-law said that it is very rare for my mother to be happy this time, so I should be careful and rest, and worry about nothing. There shouldn't be any. If that kid Qilinbao came into the palace again and made Auntie lose her heart, then that kid Qilinbao deserved to die."

The fourth princess said it lightly, and took it as a joke to learn from that scene.But even though Wanxi smiled on her face, she couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart.

Master Jiu, after not seeing her for so many years, Master Jiu still puts her at the top of his heart.For her safety, even her own son was willing to be wronged.

"That kid Qilinbao has the most heart. When you go back, you must tell Master Jiu not to torture that child. Also, if Master Jiu locked Qilinbao, your mother-in-law must feel sorry...don't worry about me... Son, it caused your in-laws to be at odds, and you earnestly helped me to persuade them."

The fourth princess also sighed, but held back her words.

In fact, Jiufujin felt a little unhappy because he heard that the emperor named Zha Lantai to inherit the duke so early.

Wanxi knew that the fourth princess must be busy, so she hurriedly asked, "Is there anything else going on in Master Jiu's mansion?"

It was inconvenient for the fourth princess to speak directly, so she turned a corner, "It's nothing else, but Huang Ama issued an order on the way back to Luan, and Mingrui was strictly discussed by the Ministry of Communications...Mingrui is the eldest son of the Fu family. It's benefactor, so he was punished, all branches of the Fu family should be more careful and guard themselves, and don't let their own children cause trouble again."
.
Wanxi returned to Yuanmingyuan, and took care of her body.The emperor was not idle. He had just returned to Beijing for three days, and returned to the palace from Yuanmingyuan on September 26.

Before leaving, the emperor had told Wanxi that this was a grand ceremony for Meng Dong to sacrifice to the Taimiao, so he went back to the palace to fast.

But Wanxi didn't know that the emperor returned to the Forbidden City and fasted for three days. After finishing the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the Taimiao on the first day of October, the emperor returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and started busy.

On the first day of October, the eunuch Lu Jinzhong said that the leader Dong Wujing handed over a piece of Xuan paper to Zou Yigui (the east ear room of the Hall of Mental Cultivation).Passed the decree: "Inlaid with an inch of blue silk border stickers. Qin this."

Outsiders may not know what this decree means, but the palace supervisor and officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs all understand it.The emperor is rearranging the east wing of the back hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and is about to welcome in a new noble master—the imperial concubine!
The east side room of the back hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation has always been the queen's bedroom, and now the queen is still in power, but this bedroom has already been given over to the imperial concubine.

At this point, everyone understood more clearly that the one in Yonghe Palace, except that the emperor had not officially issued an order, everything about her had already been transferred to the imperial concubine's possession.

The Palace Superintendent and the Internal Affairs Office became nervously busy.Coincidentally, Gao Heng, brother of Imperial Concubine Huixian, had just been transferred back to Beijing from Jiangnan, and was ordered by the emperor to be the minister in charge of the House of Internal Affairs.

This matter of arranging the east wing of the back hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation for the imperial concubine became Gao Heng's first important task after he became the Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

His own elder sister, who was also born in a family of Han in the House of Internal Affairs, was once the emperor's first imperial concubine, and she took the second seat in the harem, so she was not able to live in the east ear room of the apse of the Hall of Mental Cultivation; but now, Finally, another woman surnamed Han, who was born under the inner three banners, came to occupy the east anteroom when the queen was still alive.
.
On the sixth day of October, the emperor returned to Yuanmingyuan from the Forbidden City.

The layout of the east ear room of the back hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation is still in full swing, and there is no slight negligence due to the temporary departure of the emperor.

Because even if the emperor returned to the Yuanmingyuan, he still had orders to pass back to the palace.The decoration of the east ear room in the back hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation is in every detail, and the emperor has to personally inquire about it.

The emperor not only intervened, but also ran around the Old Summer Palace and the Forbidden City in person.

I just returned to Yuanmingyuan from the Forbidden City on the [-]th day of October, and returned to the Forbidden City on the [-]th day of the [-]th month, and then personally arranged the decoration of the east wing room.

On October [-]th, the eunuch Lu Jinzhong said that the leader Dong Wujing handed over a painting strip of Xuan paper to Yang Dazhang (the east ear room), and put the painting strip on a one-inch blue silk border.

On October [-]th, the eunuch Hu Shijie delivered a decree that Yang Dazhang's painting of flowers on the west wall of the east ear room of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and a painting of Jin Tingbiao's "Sui Chao Tu" on the east wall.

On the [-]th day of the [-]th month, the four virtues were urged and the five virtues were written, and the eunuch Hu Shijie handed over a painting by Jin Tingbiao (East Ear Room) and a door by Fang Cong on Xuan paper (Yu Linglong Hall).The decree was passed to inlay the Jin Tingbiao painting with an inch of blue silk border, and to put the painting on each door.

……

The east wing of the back hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation was quietly changing and arranged, and Wan Xi, who was recuperating in the Old Summer Palace, didn't even know about it.

The east side room of the back hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, which has been changed from the old to the new, is eagerly waiting for the day when the new owner returns from the Old Summer Palace to the palace and meets him for a while.

On October 21, the emperor returned to Yuanmingyuan; two days later, on October 23, he returned to the palace from Yuanmingyuan...

The emperor seemed to have forgotten that he was already 55 years old, and he even forgot that it was already winter in October in the northern capital.He joyfully rode his horse through the cold winter wind, and repeatedly ran back and forth between the Old Summer Palace and the Forbidden City, but what he held in his heart was red-hot longing.

Because Jiu'er has their child again, because Jiu'er can finally take this child and enter the east ear room of the apse of the Lord's Hall of Mental Cultivation in a legitimate way. In fact, he already has everything that the Qing empress deserves.
.
Just when the emperor was working tirelessly, Yong Qi's leg disease got worse.

This is because after the winter in the capital, the weather is cold, which is not good for his legs; moreover, Huang Ama sent him back halfway from the summer resort to handle the matter of Sangzhai Dorji's family property entering the government. Another heavy burden to go.

Unfortunately, misfortunes never come singly. On September 26th, his son-in-law Sixth Brother, who was born to him by his son-in-law Fujin E Ning, failed to survive the full moon and died on October [-]th.

Too many of Yongqi's heirs died young, especially sons.

It's just that the sons who died in the past were all sons born to Yingyuan, and it could be said that maybe it was because Yingyuan was weak and couldn't take care of the children; but this time it was E Ning.His concubine, Fujin, should have been more blessed than the prince's maid, right?But the son who was born with great difficulty, still failed to survive the full moon, and died again.

The blessings of Yongqi's descendants are so poor that Yongqi herself can hardly hold her head up in front of the prince's clan.

He is not in his seventies or eighties, he is just over 20 years old, his body should be at his healthiest; besides, he always takes the lead in autumn, and always wants to leave Huang Ama and his clan members with the advantage of being good at bow and horse Impressions, in order to persuade those brothers who have Korean and Han blood to go.

But the continuous premature deaths of his heirs seemed to be drawn out one by one.No matter how he explained it himself, he could no longer change the eyes of others.

Finally... In the news that Sande and the others brought back from Fuyuan Gate one day, he heard several people in the palace saying that he had gone to "Fubo".

As a prince, if he is a person with poor fortune, how can he bear the destiny?Then, whether it is the heavens or the ancestors, how can he allow him to inherit the great position?

He suffered the double blow physically and mentally, and before it was over, Huang Ama called Yin Jishan, Qinggui and his son back to Beijing in October!
Yin Jishan, as the second-ranked scholar of the Wenhua Palace, in addition to managing the affairs of the Ministry of War, after returning to Beijing, Huang Ama appointed Yin Jishan as the chief master of the upper study to teach the nobles!
Even Qinggui, the son of Yin Jishan and the elder brother of Yongxuanfu Jin Qingzao, was highly valued by Huang Ama. He was suddenly promoted from a small position as a member of the household department to become a cabinet bachelor and minister of rites. From the official position of the fifth rank, he jumped directly from the official position of the second rank!
Yongqi has been unable to compare with Yongxuan in the matter of Yue's family all these years, and now he has been hit so hard that his heart is blocked for a while, and he can't be relieved no matter what.

He was worried and anxious, and the hidden disease in his leg got worse.By November, he couldn't get off the kang anymore.

But it's already November, and it will be the Winter Solstice Festival, the Empress Dowager's birthday, and the Chinese New Year... he must never miss these occasions.Otherwise, if the clan members know that he can't even get off the kang, wouldn't it be more to say that he is "unlucky"?
In desperation, he couldn't take care of much, so he ordered the imperial physicians Zhang Rufan and Song Guorui who were serving him to give him strong medicine to boost him up.

At this moment, ginseng was the only strong medicine that imperial physicians relied on most.

It's just that the two imperial physicians are as clear as a mirror. The fifth elder brother's leg disease should be mainly to clear away heat and dampness and detoxify internally, and to lift pus, remove putrefaction and regenerate muscle externally.

But the fifth elder brother loves face, and he doesn't want to let outsiders know the truth about his leg disease, so he refuses to remove the rot from the outside; and if he wants to use ginseng to urge the inside, how can it clear away heat and dampness!

The two imperial physicians also persuaded, "If ginseng is hot in nature, if it is used too aggressively, not only will it not be able to clear away heat and dampness, but it will suffocate the dampness and heat inside... If you want to get rid of it in the future, it will be difficult."

At this time, Yongqi couldn't care about these things, so she just urged the two to prescribe a prescription, "My own body, I should know better than you. It's not like what you said, I melted it with some ginseng Take care of it, it will be fine in a few days!"

What about the two imperial physicians?I had no choice but to drive the ginseng down according to the request of the fifth elder brother.

In the next month, Yong Qi even used 15 taels of ginseng to melt the decoction with her mouth!

This is no longer recuperating the body, this is already putting on a raging fire, and Yong Qi chose to sit on top of the raging flames.
.
On the sixth day of November, the emperor finally returned to the Forbidden City from the imperial garden with the empress dowager leading Wanxi and other harem.

Waiting ahead will be the successive celebrations starting from the Empress Dowager's birthday.

Back in the palace, the emperor personally escorted the empress dowager back to Shoukang Palace, while Wanxi took a sedan chair to go back to Chuxiu Palace as usual.

As a result, before waiting for the sedan chair, Wei Zhu rushed over from afar, knelt down and passed the emperor's oral order, "Please stay for a while, the imperial concubine and master, the emperor will come back later, and I have something to say."

Wanxi is also suspicious, knowing that the emperor must have arranged something else, but she can't figure it out for a while, so she can only wait.

Finally, when the emperor came back from Shoukang Palace, his body was full of winter cold, and he didn't dare to go up to shake Wanxi's hand, so he went to the side to find a smoker to warm up, and then came over.She shook Wanxi's hand and walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation together.

Wanxi raised her eyes with a smile, "What charades are you playing?"

The emperor spat softly, "Who told you to guess? Close your eyes!"

Wanxi also smiled and closed her eyes.

On the contrary, Yuchan and the others were worried, so they hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a reminder, "Your Majesty! The imperial concubine and master are pregnant, so don't be negligent with your feet!"

There are many thresholds, many steps, and many hallways in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. If the imperial concubine steps on the wrong foot, it will be unbearable!
The emperor smiled lightly, turned his head and glared at them, "It's troublesome! Are you all confused about how I have treated your imperial concubine and master all these years?"
