Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2534 Nine Volumes 16 Amitabha

Originally Wanxi was still in confinement, and Yuqin and the others didn't want to disturb Wanxi's recuperation, but Concubine Yu's chatter outside, whether intentional or not, this is the little fifteen and seventeen. Both brothers were wrapped up.

It seems that the two princes born by the imperial concubine are not as good as the one who just died.

But whether it is Yuqin, Concubine Wan, or Concubine Ying, Concubine Yu, and Concubine Rong, although they are all high-ranking dignitaries, they can't be as close as Wanxi is to the emperor... They never dared to ask some questions in front of the emperor, and even less dared to speculate on the emperor's heart without authorization.

Therefore, these questions can only be entrusted to Wanxi to solve them.

When I arrived at Wanxi's bedroom this day, Yuqin tried her best to be tactful, starting from her short feet that are not good at Manchu, and just said: "In the past few months, you have reported Yuxi, and the news inside and outside the palace has naturally spread. Stop it outside, and don't come in to disturb you."

Wanxi nodded, "I know Yongqi is dead, and Hu Borong went with her."

Yuqin said cautiously, "The emperor gave Yongqi the posthumous title of 'Chun'. I just know this Chinese character. In the past, the posthumous title of Emperor Xianzong of Ming Dynasty was also 'Chun Emperor'; 'The word. Then this word seems to be very noble, since it is used by the emperor and the imperial concubine, the clan prince can't use it easily, right?"

"It's just that our Qing Dynasty is different from the Ming Dynasty after all. In addition to reading Chinese characters for titles and posthumous titles, we also have to read Manchu characters. I don't know anything about Manchu characters. I have to ask you about this."
.
Wanxi just smiled slightly, "Chunzi is indeed a good character. Just as my sister said, Chinese characters are the same 'chun' character, but Manzi may not be the same; even Manchu characters are the same, but they are used in Emperors, concubines, and clans have different meanings because of their different identities."

"If this word is used in the posthumous title of the Queen, it means 'Zhongzheng Hecui, Duncheng Keyi'; when used in the posthumous title of Wang Baile, it means 'Zhongzheng Hecui, safety and security as one mind'."

"Chunzi can also be used as a minister's posthumous title, which means 'conscientious and loyal, with one heart in safety'... My sister looks back at the differences between these three identities. Although the three meanings seem to be similar, they are actually not the same thing."

Yuqin also bowed her head and thought for a while, "So that's how it is!"

Wanxi smiled and nodded, "In fact, it is said that the prince used the word 'pure', and Yongqi was not the first one. This word was once conferred on Longxi, the seventh son of Lord Shunzhi, as 'Prince Heshuochun' during the reign of Emperor Kangxi. ', which refers to the title of the prince; and this word has been used as the posthumous title of the prince, and it has long been used: the posthumous title of Prince Jian Jidu during the Shunzhi period was 'pure'."

Yuqin finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, "Speaking of it this way, the word 'pure' is noble, but Yongqi is not unique to it. Concubine Yu is so boastful."

Wanxi lowered her eyes lightly, "It's interesting to say, whether Yongqi's title of prince before his death, or his posthumous title after death, they all seem to be so dignified, which makes people easy to get confused."

Yuqin sighed, "I'm afraid that there is a name but no reality. The 'Prince Rong' who was alive is actually not the same as the child born by Lord Shunzhi and Dong E's family; the word 'pure' after death, In fact, it is not the same thing as the emperor's posthumous title, and the use of this word by the prince has long been used before, and there is nothing new and special about it."

Wanxi raised her eyes quietly, "No matter what, the emperor still cares about the relationship between father and son. Yongqi has regained his reputation over the years, and the emperor has given him enough cover in his name. Outsiders don't know the truth of the big family, and they don't know The emperor has issued so many decrees, but if we only guess from the name, it will be able to complete Yongqi's reputation behind him."

"The white-haired man sent the black-haired man, the emperor has tried his best to cover up for Yong Qi."

Yuqin also nodded, "After all, before you gave birth to the prince, the emperor really valued Yong Qi the most. If the emperor can cover up this for Yong Qi, then Concubine Yu really shouldn't be talking nonsense anymore, otherwise And I don't know how much I will wipe away the blessings of Yong Qi after death."

Wanxi was also a little lost in thought, and grabbed the folding fan beside her to watch.

Yuqin took a look, it was the one that Yongxing gave to Xiaoshiwu.

Yuqin's heart skipped a beat, and she asked cautiously, "Jiu'er, why did you take down Yuanzi's fan? You're still in confinement, where can you see the wind?"

Wanxi smiled and shook her head, "I didn't mean to fan the wind."

Yuqin pretended not to know, "Then why do you want this fan?" Yuqin deliberately took a closer look, "Yongxing's calligraphy and paintings are really good. Among all the princes, they are second to none."

Wanxi also nodded, "Yongxuan's calligraphy is clear and elegant, among the princes, I like it the most. It is not in vain that his Fujin is Fuling, and Nalan Rongruo's in-laws are worthy."

Yuqin bit her lip, "Then what's wrong with this folding fan...?"

Wanxi raised her eyebrows and sighed softly, "My sister grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, and these elegant things are the most commonplace, so I don't think it's strange. But sister, don't forget, this time is in the court, and it is the court of the Qing Dynasty."

Yuqin's heart trembled slightly, "Tell me quickly."

Wanxi pointed to the three characters "Brother Jingquan", "Sister, look, the word Jingquan is the surname of Yongxuan."

Yuqin raised her eyebrows, "What's the matter? Biaozi is the son of Biaode. Throughout the ages, how many men who have studied don't take Biaozi?"

Wanxi raised her eyes quietly, "Sister said, does the emperor have a sign?"

When Yuqin was asked, she was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.

Wanxi asked again, "My sister said, can the emperor's name be used in combination with Han people's names, and be called 'Aixinjueluo Hongli'?"

"Of course not!" Yuqin also hurriedly said, "The emperor even scolded the clan and the ministers for this."

"That's right." Wanxi shook Yuqin's hand lightly, "It's like my mother's family. Although they are Chinese, they have already joined the banner, so my Ama's name 'Qingtai' is the name of the banner. A person’s first name does not carry a surname; and according to the tradition of the Han people, I, Ama, have another Chinese name. The full name is full of Chinese names, and they cannot be mixed.”

Yuqin nodded, "So what the emperor is not happy about is that Yongxing took the characters for himself in the way of the Han people without authorization?"

Wanxi raised her eyes, "Sister, there are too many Han ministers in the master in the study. The emperor is worried that the Han ministers will use the Han way to get the nicknames and nicknames for the princes... They are princes, not ordinary people. They It must be the one that most inherits the Manchurian tradition, and it must lose its foundation.”

"Whether it is the emperor or the princes, they all admire Sinology. Everyone can write a good handwriting and draw well, but this does not mean that the nobles of the heavenly family can throw away all the traditions of the Manchus. If the emperor Neither the princes nor the princes can inherit the tradition, so how can we ask the banner people not to forget their ancestors?"

Yuqin frowned, "But I've heard that there are quite a few people among the princes who have nicknames and nicknames. Except for the 'Jingquan' of Yongxing, it seems that Yongqi also has the nickname 'Yunting'." .There is also Yong Rong, whose nickname is 'Master Jiusi'..."

Wanxi smiled and blinked, "Jiuye also has the word 'Chunhe'; the sons of the Jiuye, Fu Ling'an, and the fourth son-in-law also have the word to go... Although there are, they are all in private outside the palace. It's just for ministers to address each other, and it must not be used in front of the emperor."

"Besides, the prince is different from the minister. The emperor may not pursue the minister, but he must not allow the prince to do so."

Wanxi took a deep breath, "Besides, think about it, sister, Yongrong is the son of the imperial concubine Chunhui and has half Han blood; Yongrong is the son of the imperial concubine Shujia and has half Korean blood... Except Yongqi, use it yourself It's the two of them who have the nickname and nickname!"
.
Yuqin's heart finally thumped.

She heard something important.

"As for our Yuanzi, his identity is similar to that of Yong Rong and Yong Xing. He has just entered school at this time. If he also learns from his elder brothers, or is guided by his masters, he will also take this nickname and nickname..." Yu Qin's forehead felt cold, "Thanks for discovering it early! No wonder the emperor lost his temper this time and wrote such a long decree!"

Wanxi lowered her eyes quietly, "We were originally carrying the blood of the Han people. It is not easy for you and me to have today's status. But the conversation between the princes is more than our harem. Yongxuan is naturally He has a name for his unintentional move, but our Yuanzi is too small after all, so we don't know the pros and cons of it."

"If Xiao Shiwu is ignorant and imitates Yong Rong and Yong Xing, and takes the nickname and elegant name, then someone will insist on this reason... Originally, many people in the clan and Jueluo were ignorant. If you don't like my promotion to the imperial concubine, you will naturally take Yuanzi as a target. We adults are fine, how can we ask such a small Yuanzi to bear those things so early?"

Wanxi felt a little scared when she said it.This happened when she was pregnant with Xiao Shiqi, during those few months she was concentrating on raising the baby, and for the time being she couldn't take care of other things, so she relaxed about Xiao Shiwu.

"If we can find out about this in time, it is God's protection of Xiao Shiwu, so that this child will not be punished because of his young age; the emperor issued an order to severely reprimand this matter in time, so that Yuanzi will never have the chance to commit this crime again. Go by mistake." Wanxi said this, all patting her heart, silently thanking God.

Yuqin couldn't help getting up and went to the small Buddhist hall in Dongnuange to worship, saying "Amitabha Buddha" repeatedly.

Saying all these troublesome things, Yuqin smiled and said, "By the way, there is Zong's happy event. Jiufujin is also blessed, and I am really destined to be with you. Before you, she gave birth to a little Gege. !"

Wanxi was also very pleasantly surprised, "God, she actually kept it so tight this time!"

Yuqin also laughed, "She's about the same age as you, and she's quite old now, and she can't even hope to have a baby. Now that she has a baby, she doesn't make much of it...the result is ripe , but both sons and daughters."

Wan Xi nodded with a smile, "I really want to congratulate Jiu Ye and Jiu Fu Jin Xian and his wife."
.
Wanxi is not yet confinement, so these words about Concubine Yu and Yongqi's mother and son are just talking privately with Yuqin and other sisters, but she doesn't really care about Concubine Yu.

A head of the inner court who has lost her youth, lost her imperial favour, and now even lost her only son... No matter what she says or does, she is always pitiful.If you really care about it, it won't matter.

Concubine Yu also thought she had a plan, and said these words more and more smoothly, as if it was really the case.

After the emperor was born at the age of seventeen, he didn't spare time for offering sacrifices to Fangze, and then went to the Black Dragon Pool to pray for rain, but that doesn't mean he didn't know anything.

While Concubine Yu was spreading these words, the emperor was also discussing the location of Yongqi Garden with the Minister of Internal Affairs.

Originally, Yongqi was born a prince and had heirs, so it was appropriate to build the prince's garden alone.But the emperor still ordered the Minister of Internal Affairs to investigate the dormitory where the elder brother Yonghuang and the third elder brother Yongzhang were buried together, and ordered Yongqi to be buried together with the two elder brothers.

After receiving the emperor's order, the Minister of Internal Affairs got busy.

On May 22, just one day before the full moon of the seventeenth elder brother, the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported to the emperor: In the dormitory where the eldest elder brother Yonghuang and the third elder brother Yongzhang were buried, there was another person buried—that is Mian De's first wife, Fujin, and Princess Hejing's Da Ge Ge A Ri Shan.

The ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs made a field survey and found that there was no place to bury Yong Qi other than the three tombs.

Ordinarily, since there is no place to bury this Prince Rongchun, then another site should be chosen, or a separate garden dormitory should be built for Yong Qi.

However, those who can be the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all very well versed in the emperor's mind.They all knew in their hearts that the emperor didn't want to spend extra money to build another dormitory for Yong Qi at all, but wanted to bury Yong Qi directly in Yonghuang and Yong Qi's ready-made dormitory.

Therefore, several ministers in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who have always been extremely experienced in serving the emperor: Prince Zhuang, Fu Heng, Ali Gun, Debao, Sanhe, Sige and others, unexpectedly jointly came up with a seemingly unbelievable idea for the emperor—— "It is necessary to remove the brick circle of Brother Fujin in Miande first, choose a place near Donggezhuang, build another brick circle, build a wall, build three gates, and place Fujin's golden coffin. The old foundation of the brick circle Inside, repair and clean, build a stone circle, enshrine the golden coffin of Prince An Rongchun."

In layman's terms, A Rishan was pulled out from the cemetery, moved out of Prince Ding's garden to sleep, and the vacated pit was rearranged and buried in Yongqi.

As A Rishan, from the perspective of the royal family, she is Yongqi's niece and daughter-in-law; from the perspective of Princess Hejing, A Rishan is Yongqi's niece, but the uncle and uncle want to use the niece and niece's grave... ...It's kind of weird after all.

Besides, Yongqi and A Rishan had long had quarrels because of the secret fight between Mian De and Yongqi.Burying Yongqi in Ah Rishan's original grave, I don't know if it is a kind of cause and effect in the dark.

Such an unbelievable petition, the emperor did not hesitate to approve it: "It is allowed to move."

From such a decision, we can also get a glimpse of the emperor's attitude towards these two people: whether it is the big princess towards this granddaughter and Princess Hejing; or towards Yongqi, in the emperor's heart, they are all dead. You can move after death, and you don't care about the peace of these two people after death.

According to the emperor's will, the Minister of Internal Affairs calculated the cost of moving Arishan's tomb and building a tomb coupon for Yongqi.

To make a tomb ticket for the prince, there are rules for all flowers.According to the regulations, the Minister of Internal Affairs calculated about 15 taels and six cents of silver.

This amount seems to be quite a lot, but there is only one extremely important expense missing in it - the posthumous prince should have a tombstone anyway.The cost of this item should be 3000 taels alone, but the Minister of Internal Affairs seems to have forgotten to fill in the cost of this item in the accounting.

The answer to this mystery was not revealed until one year later, that is, on May 32, the 24nd year of Qianlong, when Yongqi's inscription was officially completed. To be buried with the two elder brothers who were publicly disinherited by the emperor; there is not even a separate tombstone, his inscription is engraved on the back of the elder brother Yonghuang's tombstone.

If the events of the last few months of Yongqi's life were combined with the events of the burial after his death, the emperor had exhausted all the things he had said explicitly or secretly about this son.
.
The matter of building a garden for the prince is a secret to outsiders, but the harem knows about it after all.

Concubine Yu never expected that the emperor would arrange Yongqi's tomb coupons in Yonghuang's and Yongzhang's dormitory, and use A Rishan's original grave... When the news came, she was full of heart. It's all unspeakable suffering.

Compared with the actual tomb coupons, the mournful and glorious things she had talked about before could not be said.

She also had no face to see the ordinary people in the harem, and she was really depressed, so she fell ill, and she just happened to hide and didn't have to see people for the time being.

Even the seventeenth elder brother Xiao Manyue, all the concubines should come to congratulate Xiao Shiqi, but she didn't come.

Concubine Yu is concerned about her illness, but Wanxi still misses her family's child—Yingyuan's little elder brother was successfully sent to the Holy Spirit in March.

The child didn't make it to see his Ama for the last time, and he didn't even get an official name because he hadn't finished his vaccination.Concubine Yu only cared about falling ill, and didn't remember the premise of these things above the emperor, so Wanxi begged for the child's grace in front of the emperor.

No matter who it is for, even for Yingyuan and Yurui, to thank Debao for his loyalty these years.

The emperor sighed when he heard Wanxi mentioning the poor child.It's just that the entire harem is still immersed in the joy of the seventeenth elder brother Little Full Moon, and the emperor hasn't come up with any good names for the time being.

The emperor looked up at Wanxi, "According to you, what wishes do you have for that child?"

Wanxi bowed her head and thought for a while, then smiled quietly, "This child has been in constant turmoil since he was born. First, I hope that this child will have a safe and stable life in the future; second, I hope this child has a long life."

The emperor's grandchildren had already used the imperially designated "Mian" character. The emperor thought about it in Wanxi's heart, then nodded and said, "There is a character that not only expresses stability, but also represents longevity."

As the emperor said, he grabbed the ink pen and wrote the word "billion" on the paper.

The emperor stared at Wanxi, and said slowly: "Shuowen says, 'Yi, An Ye'." "Zuo Zhuan" says: "One hundred million hearts lead to joy." "

Wanxi also clapped her hands, "There are tens of millions of people, and there are so many and endless metaphors. The second meaning is just in line with the expectation of 'Longevity and Longevity'."

The emperor threw down the ink pen, "Okay, then name that child Mian Yi!"

While Wanxi was happy for Yingyuan's mother and son, she still had another level of worry in her heart, so she tugged on the emperor's cuff and said softly, "Master, I have another unfeeling request."

The emperor smiled, "Today is Xiao Shiqi's little full moon, since you have asked, what else can you not agree to?"

Wanxi raised her eyes, her eyes were clear, "Master, Yongzheng and Yongzheng are going to get married one after another, and only Xiao Shiwu lives in Yuqing Palace, so it's a bit deserted. Now that Yongqi is gone, Zhaoxiang It's not suitable for children to live in the house; it's just that although the master has already prepared to go to Rongwang's mansion, Mian Yi is still young, so he should raise some children in the palace after all."

"Why don't we move Mian Yi into Yuqing Palace and live with Xiao Shiwu, okay? Let the two children have a care for each other, so uncles and nephews will have more blind dates in the future, won't they?"

Hu Borong's body is still cold, Wanxi is worried that Yingyuan and Mianyi will live with E Ning.Even for Yurui, she naturally wanted to protect Yingyuan, mother and son.

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Move Mianyi into Yuqing Palace? Although it is a good arrangement, Mianyi is still young after all; besides, it is not suitable for Yingyuan to live in Yuqing Palace."

The emperor's last words really made Wan Xi feel a little bit difficult.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and glanced at Wanxi, "... Anyway, I just don't want Yingyuan to live with Yongqi's Fujin?"

Wanxi blushed, but she didn't hide it, she nodded frankly.

The emperor just smiled, "That's not without a twist."

The emperor bowed his head and thought for a while, "There has always been an old rule in the palace to bring the imperial granddaughters and clan Gege into the palace to raise them. It's just that the imperial granddaughters and clan Gege who are brought into the palace are not allowed to live in the inner court, and live outside the Duanze gate. .”

"Now that Yongqi is gone, so is the Hu family, and the Gege from the Hu family can only be raised by Yongqi's Fujin. Then he will be sent to Duanze's door according to the rule of raising the granddaughter of the emperor. Bring it up, Yongqi Fujin will also move out of the inner court to live together."

Wanxi was naturally pleasantly surprised, "Master, is this really feasible? In this way, Yingyuan and Mianyi's mother and son can live alone in Zhaoxiang's house?"

This meant that a concubine who was born in a bag was driving away the prince's noble-born Fujin.

The emperor slightly hooked the corners of his lips, "Yongqi's Fujin brought up that big Gegeyan herself, she chose it herself, so naturally she will move it outside Duanze's gate according to the palace regulations, and live together. "

Wanxi was so happy that she stretched out her hand to hold the emperor's hand, "My lord, this concubine thanked the emperor for his kindness on behalf of Yingyuan's mother and son!"

If she was not still in confinement, Wanxi would really go down to the ground to salute the emperor.

The emperor shook his head helplessly, and put his hand on her forehead, "You! You are such a good-looking Little Seventeen's little Manyue, you don't think about yourself and Little Seventeen, but you only care about Yongqi's leftover Gege and Elder Brother. If he knew, would he thank you if he was under the Underworld?"

Wanxi smiled and shook her head, "Princes and grandchildren, they are all the blood of the emperor after all. For this reason, I, the imperial concubine, should take care of each of them. In the end, what I care about is the master~"
