Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2525 Nine Volumes 7 Prince Rong: This is not the other

Yuqin just smiled faintly, "I don't care who they want to spread these words to. But if they point their minds at our fifteenth elder brother, it will be in vain."

"After all, our fifteenth elder brother is still so young, how can we reach the age of being a knight? If they are thoughtful, they might as well pass this on to the one in Yonghe Palace... Twelfth elder brother is not young, The one in Yonghe Palace cares more about the prince's title."

Bai Changzai smiled in relief after hearing this.

Yuqin raised her eyes and looked out the window, "Besides, there are rules in the palace. When you reach the age of 15, you should ask the clan's family to apply for a title of knighthood; and those who can be named princes can only be granted the title when they are 20 years old. According to Calculating the rules, among the unborn princes, Yong Qi is the only one who has reached the age of 20, and even Yong Xing and Yong Xing are not yet old, so what is the rush for our fifteenth brother?"

"Furthermore, the Emperor Feng Yongqi's decree also clearly stated, 'The fifth son of the emperor, Yongqi, has grown up and should be knighted'. The emperor did not only confer him, but he happened to be the only one who turned 20 years old. "

"Besides, do the math, how old is Yong Qi this year? He was born in the sixth year of Qianlong, and he is 25 this year. If according to the rules, he should be 20 years old, he should be knighted. He is ten years late; According to the rule of becoming a prince at the age of [-], he is still five years late."

"That's why it's not too early for him to become a knight, but it's too late! I don't know that Concubine Yu and E Chang are with them, what's the reason for joy."

Yuqin can see these things clearly, not to mention people like Wanxi and Wanbi who have more transparent eyes, everyone can see clearly.

But Concubine Yu would rather blind her eyes, only look at the good and disregard the bad, and her face is still full of joy.

Especially on November 21st, the Ministry of Rites drew up a name for Yongqi, and the emperor formally decreed: "The fifth son of the emperor, Yongqi, will be named Prince He Shuorong", Concubine Yu and E Changzai were even more delighted. Forget that Yongqi is still ill!
Because the name "Prince Rong" is really too precious in the legend.Because the fourth son of the emperor, who was born to Lord Shunzhi and Empress Xiaoxian Dong E, was called "my first son" by Lord Shunzhi, and his name was "Prince Rong".

At that time, Lord Shunzhi almost ignored the existence of the first three princes, and directly called the fourth prince "my first son", which shows the degree of preference.And offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, accepting the congratulations of the officials, it seems to be treated as a crown prince.

Therefore, since Yongqi got such a title, how could Concubine Yu be so unhappy that she can't care about anything?
Although Yuqin said she knew it in her heart, she was a Han woman after all, and she was still not familiar with Manchu, so she couldn't understand why the emperor gave Yongqi such a precious title.She asked Wanbi in private, but Wanbi was also from Jiangnan, and her understanding of Manchu was limited, so after the two discussed it, they couldn't come to any conclusion.

It's just that at this moment, Wanxi's childcare is the most important thing, and it's inconvenient for Yuqin to say it in front of Wanxi.But Wanxi herself lives in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and all the edicts from the front hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation are just a stone's throw away from her.Besides, Wei Zhu, Gao Yuncong, etc., who don't want to work, so Wanxi actually knew it a long time ago.

Seeing Yuqin in a daze these days, Wanxi smiled.

"My sister only reads 'Prince Rong' in Chinese characters, but do you know that in Manchu, they are actually two different things?"

Yuqin was startled, then patted her heart and laughed, "It's really different, isn't it? I also don't believe that the emperor can give Yongqi the name that Lord Shunzhi gave to the fourth elder brother back then!"

Wanxi lowered her eyes lightly, "Master Shunzhi, the fourth son of the emperor, the word 'Rong' in the title is pronounced in Manchu, and it is 'wesihun', which means 'noble' and 'sublime';"

"Yongqi's title, in Manchu, is 'dengge', which means 'glorious' and 'glorious'."

"Sister, look, these are actually two different things. They are not the same word, nor have the same meaning. It is just that in the translation between Manchu and Chinese, there is no other word 'rong' to easily distinguish, so we have to use the same word. Just use the word 'Rong'. But Chinese characters are the most profound characters in the world. The same character has tens of thousands of different meanings. Therefore, even if the Chinese characters are literally 'Rong Prince', they are completely different. .”

Yuqin Maosai burst into tears, clapping her hands and laughing, "After all, I'm lazy, and I still don't want to learn Manchu after all these years in the palace. If I had listened to you back then, I wouldn't be confused today."

Yuchan next to her mischievously blinked, "Actually, even if it is the same title as the fourth elder brother of Lord Shunzhi back then, I don't think it's a good thing! That fourth elder brother died young, and the emperor was seriously ill when the fifth elder brother died. Giving this name back then, could it be—a reminder to die?"

Wanxi hurriedly spat, "Go, go, you're the one who said that?"

Yuqin smiled early and bent over, "Even if Yuchan doesn't say it, I want to say it too! Concubine Concubine Yuyu is so happy, what is there to be happy about?"

Wanxi raised her eyebrows, "Maybe it's because she is a Mongolian herself. Even though she has been in the palace for many years, maybe her understanding of Manchu is not careful enough."

Yuqin sneered, "Concubine Yu understands if she doesn't understand it, but Yongqi herself is proficient in Manchu and Mongolian. If Concubine Yu can't tell the difference, he should be able to understand it himself, right?"
.
Yuqin was right, Concubine Yu was so happy that she almost went around to say that Yongqi had been secretly reserved, but Yongqi, who was unable to get out of the kang in Zhaoxiang's office, was like a bright mirror in her heart.

One honor is not the other, and in Huang Ama's heart, he will never have the weight of the fourth elder brother from the Dong E clan.

If we talk about the harem of the Qing Dynasty, the only living imperial concubine is the Dong E family. In the past 100 years, only this imperial concubine has appeared.If you compare it with the emperor's love house and Wu, then you can only talk about the little fifteen from the imperial concubine, not his turn.

His own mother-in-law had been forgotten by Huang Ama for decades.For so many years, no matter whether it is the southern tour or the northern hunting, Huang Ama never thought of her going...

Originally named Prince Rong, the emperor's original intention was to be happy, but instead of being happy about it, Yong Qi became more ill.

But after the title of Prince Rong was awarded, he got the news that Huang Ama had ordered the House of Internal Affairs to repair the Prince Rong's mansion for him! ——The emperor gave Yongqi the mansion of Kaer Chuhui, the third son of Wang Yuetuo of Keqin County!
Kaer Chuhun's title is Baylor, so his mansion is not low in regulations. With such a foundation to repair and rebuild, and turn it into the Prince's Mansion, the project and cost of the House of Internal Affairs will be much smaller.

Officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent this news to Zhaoxiang's office, originally to please Yongqi, saying that this mansion has a good location, good feng shui, and beautiful scenery: this mansion is located in the east of Taiping Lake, and the front of the mansion is Middle Street. To the south is Huaibao Chunshu nunnery, and the back of the mansion is Zongmao Toutiao.There are many flowers, trees, mountains and rocks in the mansion, and Taiping Lake is introduced into the garden again, and the forest pavilion is especially beautiful...

But Yong Qi felt anxious instead, and coughed up bloodshots that night.

Although the prince is married and canonized, the government should be divided according to the rules.After the government is divided, the prince can go out of the palace, and he can also be assigned his own grain farm, fields, and silver farms; the coaters of the House of Internal Affairs, etc...

But this is only a rule on the surface, and there are also unwritten rules in private. The emperor's true favorite heir will not move out of the palace even if he is crowned king!

Just like today's emperor, the former Prince Bao, who was named king, still lives in the Forbidden City.This rule was established by his grandfather Yongzheng, so his emperor Ama will definitely implement it.

Although his Huang Ama said to make him a prince, but his Huang Ama is going to prepare a branch for him!

——What this means, he knows it well!
After liberating wine for the ministers and wearing filial piety for the prince, it was finally his turn to confer the prince and divide the mansion - all the hints that the prince was excluded from the reserve position, up to this time, Yong Qi had already gathered everything.
.
On November 25th, the Empress Dowager's birthday, the palace officially began the celebrations at the end of the year.

Wanxi is the head of the Six Palaces, but because she is pregnant with a child at this time, the emperor is extra cautious. This makes Wanxi lead the harem to the Shoukang Palace to salute on the Empress Dowager's birthday. Wanxi is not allowed to take care of all affairs.

Wanxi can't control it, the position of imperial concubine is still vacant, so the various internal duties are shared by several people above the position of concubine.

Above the imperial concubine, concubine Shu is the head at this time.But Concubine Shu herself has no prince in her own life, and she will lose to Concubine Yu in this one; and Concubine Yu is after all an old man in the hidden residence, so Concubine Shu has to be courteous in terms of walking order.

In addition, Yongqi had just been conferred the title of Prince He Shuorong, so the front court and the harem had to look sideways.Concubine Yu couldn't hide her complacency. Not only was she no longer modest in everything, but she took the initiative to step forward. With her age and qualifications, she seemed to be ahead of Concubine Shu.

In this situation, Concubine Shu was unwilling.I couldn't help saying to Yuqin in private, "Look, I want to call her 'Yu Guifei Niangniang'!"

Yuqin chuckled, "Let her be proud for a while. It has been more than 20 years since Yongqi was born in the sixth year of Qianlong's reign. She is like a shadow in this harem, and she is quite aggrieved. It's so easy. Having received the good news from Yongqi, isn't it a good day?"

"The prince who was born is named Prince, and the mother is more precious than the son. It is reasonable for people to think that the son is more valuable than us."

Concubine Shu spat softly, "Let her be proud! I'll see how many days she can be proud!"

Concubine Ying smiled faintly, "That's all for the sake of the imperial concubine. What I care about is the Kunning Palace Family Sacrifice on the first day of the first lunar month... The Kunning Palace Family Sacrifice was originally supposed to be held by the Imperial Concubine himself. But the health of the imperial concubine is important, so she can't personally cook and cook meat. In the end, one of us has to be chosen to salute on her behalf."

Yuqin laughed, "That must be Concubine Shu! I am Han, Gao Wa, you and Concubine Yu, including Concubine Yu, are all Mongols. The courtesy to these Manchurians is naturally not as good as Concubine Shu."

Concubine Ying giggled, "I'm afraid, that Mongol will definitely grab even this."
.
The Empress Dowager's holy birthday is over this year, and the old lady is very happy.Because she has passed this holy birthday, the Kaner year of "73" is also counted as passed.From the day she passed her holy birthday, she can say that she is 74 years old.

The old lady was happy, and the celebrations in Shoukang Palace continued from November 25th to December.A group of concubines also lined up to Shoukang Palace to accompany the Empress Dowager, or to talk, or to watch a play on the small stage in Shoukang Palace, enjoying themselves happily.

But these days, Shoushan and Fuhai, the two chief eunuchs, have strange expressions.

These two old managers are not young, usually they don't need to do it by themselves, the little eunuchs below will do the work.Therefore, they also appeared in the field of vision, and their expressions were different, which all the concubines noticed.

Concubine Shu and Concubine Yu accompanied the Empress Dowager together this day, and Concubine Shu couldn't help saying, "I haven't seen Shoushan Wenda for a while. What's going on today? Why is Shoushan Wenda flustered?" What? But something is wrong with the stage, or is it the student who came in and promised that his voice fell down?"

The Empress Dowager didn't pay attention because she felt relieved, so she also asked An Shou, "Is that so? Go and ask, is there something wrong?"

An Shou went out to stop Fu Hai for questioning, and when he came back later, his complexion changed slightly.

"What's the matter?" The empress dowager was impatient, so she asked.

An Shou hesitated for a while, then said slowly, "...Master, don't worry, it's just that a student in the inner school suffered from the cold yesterday, and today he can't open his voice, so he might not be able to sing."

"Which one is it?" asked the Empress Dowager.

An Shou replied, "It's the one named Jin Shan."

"Ouch!" The Empress Dowager clapped her hands, "He sang Xiaodan the best! I ordered a few discounts from him today! Why is he suffering from the wind and cold, but there is not enough charcoal to keep warm?"

Concubine Shu got up and walked to Anshou's side, and said softly, "It's not convenient for Auntie to return it directly to the Empress Dowager, so just tell me. I think of a way, just return it to the Empress Dowager tactfully."

An Shou sighed, "This year is evil, and there are always some inexplicable and weird things. This Jinshan is not just suffering from the wind and cold, it is being haunted, and it keeps crying in a small voice, like a baby. I can't say anything when I ask, even though I'm croaking."

Concubine Shu was also taken aback, she turned her head to look at the Empress Dowager, raised her sleeve and wiped her forehead.

The Empress Dowager knew something must have happened, she pointed at Concubine Shu and said, "Lan Jin, you girl, you must explain to me! What's the matter?"

Concubine Shu didn't dare to hide anything, she reluctantly stepped forward and whispered to the Empress Dowager.

The empress dowager shivered suddenly, "How did you say that?!"

The old lady just thought that her Kaner year was over, but after all, the holy birthday is the holy birthday, and the year is the year. Isn't it December, and the year is not over yet?
The old lady felt even more uneasy, "Hurry up and go to the shaman mother-in-law to see what happened! Look at this baby crying, what is it supposed to be about?"

Concubine Shu will do it herself. She comes from a Manchu family and knows these rules best.

Accompanied by the shaman mother-in-law for a long time, she listened to all the words and came back to report to the empress dowager.

"My concubine didn't understand what the great god said, and I only dared to tell the empress dowager—the shaman mother-in-law went down and invited the baby to her body. I could only hear the baby talking to the shaman. The mother-in-law was crying, yelling, 'Ama, don't come, this is not the place for you.'”

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager closed her eyes tightly, "The child who died in the palace this year must be Elder Sixteen, right? When he called 'Ama', didn't he call the emperor?"

Concubine Shu thought for a while, but shook her head, "If Elder Sixteen, he should also call 'Huang Ama', or 'Khan Ama', how could he just call 'Ama'?"

Concubine Yu sat on the side, and said slowly, "I just remembered, the fifth elder brother's son died not long ago, right? That child has never lived a full moon. And the fifth elder brother is also sick at this moment, it is said that he is already dead. I am too sick to come to the kang."

The empress dowager also frowned, "That's right. On the day of my holy birthday, all the princes and grandsons came to salute, but Yong Qi didn't come. The emperor also said that he was seriously ill."

Concubine Yu and Concubine Shu looked at each other, and they both shut their mouths, so as not to continue talking.

The empress dowager also understood in her heart, so she also closed her eyes.

"...What do you say? If the child wants to make trouble, he can go to Zhaoxiang's place to make trouble, so why come to my Shoukang Palace to make trouble?"

Concubine Shu thought about it again, "When I was in the garden, Zhaoxiang's house where Yongqi lived was close to the Fuyuan gate. Fuyuan gate is the gate through which the inner school students are supposed to enter and exit. I thought about it and said Maybe it's because the students from the inner city pass by the Zhaoxiang Office when they enter and leave the Fuyuan Gate, so what's wrong with them?"

The empress dowager also shuddered, "It's possible! Yongqi in Zhaoxiang's office is ill, and just lost a elder brother, and even Yongqi's daughter-in-law is also ill, so the yang energy is not strong... and although Jinshan is a A boy, but a eunuch, who also sings Xiaodan, is even more sinister, which provokes those who shouldn't be provoked!"

The next day it was Concubine Yu and Concubine Ying's turn to greet the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager refused to see her, and even said in front of Yongchang, "Tell her to stay away from me! I don't want to see her, don't call her She also gave me a dark energy!"

When Concubine Ying turned around and relayed the words to Concubine Shu, they all laughed lightly.

"It was originally. It's New Year's Eve, and she has brought a whole body of bad luck, so don't come out and spoil the fun!"

Concubine Ying blinked at Concubine Shu, "The one who sang Xiaodan has a small voice that hasn't changed, and it really takes no effort to sing a baby crying."
.
December is the last month of the year, and at the end of the year, the atmosphere in the palace begins to be lively.However, December is also the month for the conclusion of the year. All the important things that happened in this year must be concluded in this month.

When the emperor named Yongqi the prince and prepared the palace, he did not let go of Yongqi's medical case.

The emperor passed on Yongqi's medical records for the past three or four years since he became ill for a closer look.After the emperor personally reviewed it, he sent another imperial physician to Zhaoxiang's office to see Yongqi...

Finally, the truth could not be hidden any longer, bubbling up to the surface of the water.

On December [-]th, the emperor who got the truth angrily issued a decree: "The fifth elder brother's illness has been treated for several months, but he has not recovered yet. According to the current doctor's examination, it is said to be caused by wasting."

"If you had heard the truth about the illness before, you could have taken precautions and treated it early. However, in May, Zhang Rufan, Song Guorui, etc. did not report the cause of the insufficiency in detail, which is really confusing! Zhang Rufan, Song Guorui, Hand it over to the Minister of Internal Affairs for punishment."

When the news came, Concubine Yu, Yongqi, mother and son were both so shocked that they couldn't speak for a long time.

The emperor's decree, which was a golden eloquence, had already set the tone for Yongqi's illness - it was caused by damage, not to save the emperor.
.
Half a month later, on the day of December 27th, the lineup for the clan banquet of the Qianqing Palace on the first day of the first month of the 31st year of Qianlong was ordered: Prince Xian, Prince Yi, Prince Jian, Prince Yu, Prince Jian, and Prince; fourth elder brother, sixth elder brother, eighth elder brother, eleventh elder brother, twelfth elder brother, Prince Heng, Miande elder brother, Mianen elder brother, Sebuteng Baljur, Chebudenzabu.There are 16 people in total.

In the rank of prince, the fifth elder brother Yongqi was clearly ruled out.

The reason given by the emperor was naturally that Yongqi was sick and the emperor couldn't bear him to work hard at the banquet.

However, the people in front of the imperial court and the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs couldn't help but link this matter with the fact that the emperor went to punish the two imperial physicians half a month ago... Yongqi herself was seriously ill and it was fine. But where did the imperial physician have the courage to deceive the emperor? !Without the prince's instigation, or his backing, how could the two little imperial physicians dare to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor?

At the same time, on the side of the harem, according to the order of the empress dowager, on the first day of the first month of the first month of the first month of the Kunning Palace, Concubine Yu does not need to salute.

The reason given by the Empress Dowager was that she sympathized with Yongqi.Ask Concubine Yu to take care of Yongqi.

The joy of being crowned prince just now has not dissipated yet, Concubine Yu and Yongqi's mother and son were completely excluded from the royal New Year's celebration ceremony.
.
In December, Wanxi's belly grew bigger.

The emperor was careful not to tell Wanxi about the previous affairs, and Yuqin and others also kept the harem affairs within their reach, so that Wanxi could feel at ease to raise her baby.

It's just that Wanxi is getting old after all, and her body is already delicate, so it is even more difficult to take care of children in winter.

However, this child is also particularly "noisy".Since the fetus began to move around four months ago, the child has been tossing and tossing non-stop every day. Wanxi only feels that there are several small bulges on her belly every day. It is obvious that this little thing uses both hands and feet.

"It looks like you're doing somersaults inside, don't be a monkey." Wanxi also said helplessly to the emperor.

The princes in front, whether Xiaoluer or Yuanzi, are all sensible children.Even though he is lively by nature, he obeys the rules and knows how to advance and retreat, so he didn't toss like this in the mother's womb.

The emperor laughed, "He likes to make troubles, so let him go. After all, he is lively, so he is even more healthy, isn't he?"

Wanxi naturally also hopes that the child will be more lively, so that she can truly feel the presence of the child at all times, so that she can feel at ease.

However, her body was really struggling.

The emperor sent Wanxi a lot of ginseng to make up for it.

From December to the first month, Wanxi drinks ginseng soup, using ginseng three ounces and one qian;

In a month, the amount of ginseng used reached seven taels, which is more than two cents a day, which can be regarded as a "junior supplement".Not all of these Wanxi's bodies can be restrained, but many of them are directly supplemented by the naughty child in Wanxi's belly.

According to the records in the same ginseng consumption file, Wanxi took seven taels in a month, which is considered a "junior supplement"; but Yongqi took 15 taels in the same month!

——That would be even more reckless.
