Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2597 Nine Volumes 79 You can fulfill your wish

What's more, the biggest barrier for Concubine Qing to become a concubine, besides Concubine Huang, is that Concubine Qing raised fifteen elder brothers.

Regarding the reason why Concubine Qing was able to raise the fifteenth elder brother, even Concubine Rong felt that it was because of Concubine Qing and Concubine Huang's love for sisters and their support in the harem over the years, right?

Until that day, she went to visit Jiujiu and Dage.Holding Da Gege and talking about zodiac signs, she suddenly remembered something.

Since she is from the Western Regions, her living customs are different from those in the mainland, but there is one thing that does not make any difference in the region - the tradition of the twelve zodiac signs.

In the history of the Western Regions, twelve kinds of animals have long been used to record the year, corresponding to the heavenly stems and earthly branches of the Central Plains: the Xiongnu have cultural relics with signs of the twelve zodiac signs, and the ancestors of the Hui tribe—Xianjiasi and Uyghur clearly used the zodiac Chronicle.

As for the twelve zodiac signs, why is the rat headed?Khotan, an ancient country in the Western Regions, worshiped the rat god.Tang Xuanzang's "Da Tang Western Regions" clearly records that Khotan worships the rat god, and the king wears a golden rat crown...

So that day, when talking about Big Gege's zodiac sign, she still smiled and teased Little Gege and said, "Oh, it turned out to be a little dragon! Isn't that right? You are the emperor's granddaughter, isn't this just a little dragon~"

As she spoke, she recalled the legend of the White Lady, and said happily, "Then are you a little white snake, or a little green snake?"

When she returned to the palace that night, she told the emperor about Da Gege's cute appearance, and then talked about the zodiac signs, so she couldn't help being a bit mischievous, and asked the emperor about the zodiac signs of all the concubines one by one.

She knew that the emperor was a "rabbit master", and that the [-]th elder brother was a dragon in his zodiac sign...

At that moment, the emperor suddenly put away his smile, looked into the distance, and said slowly, "Concubine Qing was also born in the Year of the Dragon."

She was shocked then.

As the Son of Heaven, His Majesty believes in God's will in everything.The fifteenth elder brother was born in the Year of the Dragon and was raised by Concubine Qing, who was also born in the Year of the Dragon. Is this more than a "coincidence"?
She even heard that the real name of Concubine Qing's father was "Lu Shilong"; it was only when Concubine Qing entered the palace to be elected, in order to avoid the taboo, the Ministry of Internal Affairs changed "Lu Shilong" to "Lu Shilong".

I don't know if it's because of this, Concubine Qing's father originally committed a crime because he wanted Yanzheng to buy an official for him, but the emperor didn't really pursue and punish Concubine Qing's father.

In the end, it seems that even the emperor handed over the fifteenth elder brother to Concubine Qing to raise him, and promoted Qing Guifei to be a noble concubine, it was still for the fifteenth elder brother, for the imperial concubine~~
It's just that the imperial concubine would not like to hear these words after all, because the imperial concubine has cherished the sisterhood with Qing imperial concubine very much these years.Therefore, she did not mention this in front of the imperial concubine, and the emperor has never mentioned it so clearly.

After all, the emperor's affection for the imperial concubine—perhaps it really needs no words.

Concubine Rong felt a little sad in her heart, and turned her eyes with a wry smile.

She bore the title of favorite concubine in vain, but she had never won such favor from the emperor.At this moment, she looked at the blue sky and green fields outside, and felt homesick, very homesick.

Concubine Qing passed away, but she was doomed to be buried in the capital and could not return to Jiangnan; if that day came for her herself, she hoped to return to her hometown...

After all, she didn't get the emperor's affection in this life, and this capital was not so nostalgic for her.
.
Wanxi's painstaking efforts were not in vain. On the last day of August, Jinchuan finally sent good news: "The leader of Jinchuan, Chuo Wo Sijia, dug up Seng Gesang's body box and presented it. He also laid Seng Gesang's concubine, And the head of Little Jinchuan, Menggu Ashzaala, donated together."

Seng Gesang is the chieftain of Xiaojinchuan, one of the two leaders of the Jinchuan Rebellion.Now that he got the head of Seng Gesang, it can almost be said that the battle of Jinchuan has been won.

It's just that the emperor was concerned that the other leader, Sonomu, had not yet been captured, so he ordered Agui to continue to march.

However, the general trend has been set and cannot be changed.Tell this August, which started with a solar eclipse, to end with such a great military victory again—to tell those who criticize the emperor in private to shut up.

Wanxi breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel that concealing her illness was more and more worthwhile.

It's not in vain that she once made a wish in front of the Buddha, willing to use all she has in exchange for the emperor.At this time, you can go to the Buddha to fulfill your vows.
.
With such joy, the Emperor Jiuyue walked around for days and got a lot of money.

On the day of Wanxi Qianqiu Festival on the ninth day of September, the emperor even celebrated it, giving banquets to the accompanying princes and ministers, and Mongolian Taiji Tabu Nang.He ordered students from Nanfu to be transferred from the Summer Resort to sing a birthday celebration for Wanxi.

Or Wanxi gave it up, and said with a smile, "They are weak and weak, so how can they have the physique to sing operas on this grassland? Since it is on the grassland, I would like to see the skills on the grassland - just like that year's banquet. The appearance of Sai Sishi is very good."

The emperor immediately decreed that on the feast of that day, the "four events" of Shibang (Mongolian feast), Buku (wrestling), teaching jumping (horse trapping) and cheating horses (horse racing) would be reproduced.

Not only that, but the emperor also recalled the performances of singing and dancing, as well as returning to the rope.

It's a pity that Wanxi's body is weak this year.At this time, on the grassland in September, the first snow has already fallen in some places, and the wind is more bitter than that in the city.Therefore, the emperor did not dare to take the risk of asking Wanxi to come to the front tent, and only asked Concubine Rong and others to accompany Wanxi in the camp of the harem.

Although you can't see those men's wrestling on horseback, there are also women selected from the local Mongolia to sing Mongolian long tunes for Wanxi; .

The Mongolian long tune is melodious and affectionate, mostly in praise of mothers.In the songs of these women, Changshengtian, mountains and rivers, fields, rivers, and even horses and sheep are all turned into the embodiment of mothers, nurturing the grassland people for generations.The singing is melodious and full of affection.

The Hu Xuanwu of Huibu dancers has a lively rhythm, and the figures and skirts of the dancers are flying gracefully.Especially when they moved their necks, they had a pair of eyes looking forward, and their eyebrows were like goddesses in the sky.

Wanxi smiled and asked Concubine Rong, "How can you move your neck?"

Concubine Rong also laughed, "Come here, imperial concubine, stand against the wall, I only need a corner, and I can teach you how to do it!"

Wanxi laughed and pointed at the yurt, "It's a pity that we live in a yurt today, and there are no corners."

Concubine Rong nodded, "That's okay, I'll teach you when I return to Beijing!"

The sound of singing and dancing and cheers coming from the front is even more enthusiastic.The small col where the camp was camped was surrounded by mountains. This was the best barrier, allowing all the warm sounds to pass through the yurt and reach her ears.

Even though she couldn't see it with her own eyes, she could still hear it clearly, and she could still be there personally, to infect the joy of the men, and to add joy to her own festival.

Concubine Rong was also fascinated, and said softly, "That must be the appearance of Dawazi!"

"Dawazi?" Wanxi asked, "What is it?"

Concubine Rong laughed, "It's rope skills! We call those who are good at rope skills 'Dawazi'. They are passed down from family to family, and outsiders can't learn that trick."

Wan Xi nodded with a smile, "As early as the Han Dynasty, it has been recorded in history books. At that time, the 'rope-walking' technique Zhang Heng said was supposed to be this skill. So, it has been 500 years since this rope technique was introduced to the mainland. left and right history.”

Concubine Rong stretched out her hand to hold Wanxi's hand, "Imperial Concubine, since the first day I came to the Imperial Palace of the Qing Dynasty and had to meet the Imperial Concubine, she has continuously given me confidence, telling me that the Western Regions have been with you since ancient times. The Central Plains are closely connected, so that I will not be born alone in a foreign land."

Wanxi nodded with a smile, "Ah, the capital has long been your home..."

While talking, a "lion" suddenly rushed in outside!

Everyone in the tent cried out in surprise.

The "lion" in the middle shook its head and tail, it really came alive!
Wanxi also said, "Good dance! Thank you—"

The lion's head was removed, and the two young men stepped forward and knelt down to salute.It turned out that it was Xiao Shiwu and Lawang!
"Oh, why are you two!" Wanxi also laughed.

Xiao Shiwu said, "Zalan was ordered by Huang Ama to go back to the summer resort to pay his respects to Huang Mama's mother, otherwise he would come today."

Compared with Lawang and Xiaoshiwu, Zalantai is a little weaker, and it may be more tiring to dance holding a lion like this.But it just so happens that you can pretend to be a child, holding a hydrangea in your hand!
Thinking about it, Wanxi was already happy, and personally rewarded Xiao Shiwu and Lawang with the purses brought by Yuchan, one by one.

Xiao Shiwu got the reward but didn't get up, and said with a smile, "My son is so brave, I have to ask Ernie for a reward."

Wanxi raised her eyebrows, "Who is it for? Zha Lan, or your wife?"

Little Shiwu's face turned red, and he quickly waved his hands, "...I am begging for a reward for Huang Ama!"

Wanxi laughed as soon as she heard it, but didn't make a sound.Concubine Rong was curious, "How do you say that?"

Little Shiwu said, "This year, I knew that Ernie couldn't bear the wind and cold outside, so my son thought about how to celebrate Ernie's birthday. It was Huang Ama who gave him such a good idea, and asked his son and seventh brother-in-law to give Ernie such a beautiful appearance." Dress and dance."

"My son has never danced a lion since he was a child, and the seventh brother-in-law is Mongolian, so he is even more unfamiliar; it was Huang Ama who personally taught the son and the seventh brother-in-law..." Little Shiwu glanced around, and said in a low voice, "Huang Ama I also dismissed the guards and secretly demonstrated it to my son in the garden!"

Concubine Rong blushed embarrassingly, "Oh, so it is like this!"

Wanxi lowered her head and smiled, "The emperor has a heart. You and Lawang also have a heart, Xiao Shiwu. I am very happy today."
.
After a busy day, in the evening, Concubine Rong knew that the emperor must be coming, so she left early.

Xiaoshiwu and Lawang also wanted to leave, but Wanxi stopped Lawang, "Lawang, wait a moment, I have something to say to you."

Xiao Shiwu left first.

But Xiao Shiwu is such a smart person, he could see something from the expressions of E Nie and the seventh sister-in-law, so he hid his intentions, but he didn't leave the tent, and rushed to Yuchan, Qu Xu They all "hush" and stayed carefully to listen.

Only Wanxi and Lawang were left in the tent, Wanxi looked at Lawang benevolently, and said softly, "Lawang, good boy, tell my mother, where is the sadness between your eyebrows and eyes coming from? "

Lawang was raised by Wanxi's side when he was two years old. Although he is a son-in-law, in fact he is not much different from his son.Therefore, it was only a little bit revealed between Lawang's expressions, and it could not escape Wanxi's eyes.

Lawang tried his best to conceal it, and said lightly, "Back to Auntie, my son really has nothing to do. It's just that I heard about Wang Lun's rebellion in Shandong under the guise of evil ways...so there are many elite soldiers and good generals in the court at that time." In Jinchuan, there is a lack of people to lead the army, so the son and the emperor recommended themselves to lead the army to punish them, but the emperor did not agree."

Wanxi understood when she heard it, and nodded with a smile, "The emperor didn't ask you to go, it's not that he didn't believe you. My son, although most of the generals in charge of the imperial court are in Jinchuan, they are not serious enough to insist that you be a Prince Heshuo. Gu Lun's son-in-law personally leads the troops to the battlefield."

"What A Niang said," Lawang frowned slightly, "but the third son-in-law is in Jinchuan at this time, and he has made military exploits. The emperor personally rewarded the fire sickle with a purse...not only this time, but also from more than ten years ago. When Erut was pacified years ago, the three foreheads were already in battle."

Wanxi could only nod her head.

That's right, the emperor hasn't stopped asking Princess Hejing's brother-in-law, Buten Baljur, to go to the battlefield in recent years, and almost sent them wherever the danger is. It proved to be an extremely dangerous serious injury; then because of the crimes on the battlefield, he was cut off and imprisoned several times, and finally even his hereditary prince of Darkhan was deprived of the title and transferred to his younger brother... …

Among the hardships, Wanxi didn't want to ask Lawang to do it all over again.

Therefore, the emperor forbade Lawang to ask for his own troops, and his intentions were already deep.Where does he not trust this child? It is because he is reluctant to let this son-in-law go to the battlefield.

Wanxi could only persuade gently, "...Well, I think the emperor is sympathetic to your father and grandfather. After all, your father passed away soon, so the emperor will naturally protect you for your father."

In fact, Wanxi herself is very embarrassed to say this - Prince Cheng Gunzabu has no shortage of sons, Lawang is the seventh son, and there are six more before him; even some sons are old and died Yes, they also left grandchildren behind.

Lawang lowered his head, "Aniang, does the emperor think that I don't have the talent to command an army?"

Wanxi's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly stared at Lawang, "My good boy, tell Aunt the truth, where is your heart stuck?"

Lawang blushed, and kowtowed to the ground, "My son knows that Qilin Baoan was born with the ability to command troops, and was praised by the emperor when he was young; at this time, Qilin Baoan was in Jinchuan, had made military exploits, and was rewarded with a purse by the emperor." ..."

"After the son is Prince Chaoyong, his grandfather, father, and uncle have all made great military exploits for the court! The son also hopes to live up to his father and grandfather, go into battle, and be loyal to the country when the court needs it!"

Wanxi sighed lightly.

It turns out that the crux of the matter is here~~ Lawang, this kid, is just thinking about Qilinbao's continuous meritorious deeds.

Wanxi thought for a while, then lowered her head and smiled quietly, "You child is also a little fool."
