Chapter 2674 Ten Volumes 62

The ten princesses were married in October 54 of Qianlong, and the emperor gave the ten-headed son-in-law Yinde a horse riding in the Forbidden City in December two months later.

This is a great honor, and in the past, this honor was usually bestowed on older ministers.

There are also young people who have received this gift. For example, Jiuye Fu Heng was awarded the horse riding in the Forbidden City in the 12th year of Qianlong.But that year, Fu Heng was nearly thirty years old, and he had already set off for Dajinchuan in the second year; on the other hand, Fengshen Yinde was only 15 years old.

He Shen is now a close minister of the emperor, and he is also young and ambitious, so he will inevitably be compared with Fu Heng back then.

He Shen himself is not as good as Fu Heng, or even Fu Heng's sons Fu Long'an and Fu Kang'an, so he uses his own son, Gu Lun's forehead, Fengshen Yin De, as a comparison.

One is that Fengshen Yinde is Gulun's son-in-law, who is higher than Fu Long'an's Heshuo son-in-law; secondly, his son rode a horse on the Forbidden City Wall at the age of 15, ten years earlier than Fu Heng.

All of this has been recorded on the head of the ten princesses by the front court and the harem.

It is because the emperor dotes on the tenth princess, a young girl, that he loves the house so much. The 15-year-old little son-in-law has already ridden a horse in the Forbidden City.

It's just that when this word reached the ears of Concubine Erniang Dun, the tenth princess, she was happy on the surface, but when she closed the door and smacked her lips, she felt inexplicably bitter in her heart.

If it is because of the ten princesses that she loves Wu and Wu, then she, who is the birth mother, should be the first person to be benefited by the emperor's grace.But... the emperor has extended a lot of favor to the people around the ten princesses, whether it is Yinde, the rich squire, or Heshen, or even Heshen's younger brother and Lin's son. The relationship between Fengshen and Yinde can be named "Fengshen Yimian" with the word "Fengshen".

Originally, the word "Fengshen" was only bestowed by the emperor on elder brothers related to the princesses, such as Fengshen Jilun, the son of the fourth princess, and Fengshen Guoermin, the son of Fu Longan, the fourth concubine; Fengshen Yinde-these are all directly related to the princess.It's Fengshen Yimian, but he has already turned a corner, but he can use these two words bestowed by the emperor.

Even Concubine Dun's own uncle Mandou, although he has made many mistakes over the years, broke the feng shui wall of Dongling, and was sentenced by the emperor to "behead the prison marquis", it was also a month before the tenth princess got married. In view of the tenth princess's wedding, because Mandou was 90 years old, the emperor even awarded her uncle the title of Minister of Internal Affairs.

Although this is just a title of favor, it is a fiction and has not been granted, but at least it sounds nice.

But as for herself, she herself has only been restored as a concubine at the end of Qianlong's 45th year because of the marriage of the ten princesses in Qianlong's 44th year.

She thought that from the day she became a concubine, she would be happy in the end; especially before and after the wedding ceremony of the tenth princess, she must be the first in the harem.

However, the emperor clearly didn't want to give her this honor.Her limelight as the birth mother of the ten princesses was taken away by Concubine Rong who raised the ten princesses!
First, the 50th year of Qianlong, her 40th birthday.According to the rules of the palace, the head of the inner court will be given a full life from the age of 40.When the whole life is over, the emperor's gifts will be more than the usual birthday gifts. In addition to the usual rewards of silver, there are also rewards.

There are also regulations for these reward items in the palace. Usually, nine pieces are used as a unit, and one nine, two nine, or even ninety nine are made up to make up the so-called "nine nine birthday gifts".According to the different grades of the inner court officials, the "Nine Numbers" of reward items obtained are also different.The highest one is the empress dowager's 60th birthday celebration. The emperor presented ninety-nine and 81 congratulatory gifts every day for five consecutive days, totaling [-] pieces; Ninety-nine birthday gifts for eleven days in a row, totaling nearly [-] pieces!

The concubine's whole life and Qianqiu grace reward should be the number of fifty or nine, that is, 45 items are bestowed.There should be nine wishful pieces, nine antiques, nine brocades, nine ingots, and nine spices...

Just because the quantity of these reward items is huge, and the value will far exceed the amount of silver rewards for ordinary production, so who in the inner court does not expect to live a full life starting at the age of 40?

Concubine Dun is also unavoidable, and the tenth princess was married in the 45th year of Qianlong, so she lived a full life at the age of 50 in the 40th year of Qianlong.

She didn't expect that on the sixth day of March in the 50th year of Qianlong, when she was 40 years old and lived a full life in the palace for the first time, the emperor asked the chief eunuch to send her a reward of only 300 taels of silver!
What is this, this reward of 300 taels of silver is the amount of rewards given for her birthday in normal years, and the emperor never gave her a full life!
She was stupid at the time. Fortunately, such a thing is not without precedent in the harem.For example Concubine Yu, in the year and month when her son Yong Qi recited the emperor from the Jiuzhou Qingyan fire, it happened to be Concubine Yu's birthday.The emperor did not give rewards according to the whole life, and the fifth elder brother did not reward Concubine Yu after his meritorious service.

As far as the favor of the children is concerned, the tenth princess is still just a princess. The fifth elder brother Yongqi also took care of the position of the crown prince for many years before he was alive, and he pinched the twelve eldest sons of the first prince. .I didn't see what the emperor did to Concubine Yu~
Concubine Dun also comforted herself, saying that maybe the emperor wanted to wait for the tenth princess to marry, and then reward her together?
But he waited from the 50th year of Qianlong to the 54th year of Qianlong.But until the 54th year of Qianlong, the year when the tenth princess got married, and five birthdays passed between her, the emperor never rewarded her much, and he didn't even give her what she deserved when she was 40 years old. The fifty-nine items go!
The throne of the inner court, one body and one body are all rewarded by the emperor.If the emperor didn't reward her, she would have no spare money in her hands, let alone good things, and she would have nothing to give to others.

Even her own daughter's dowry, she couldn't afford to send it out with any precious gifts!

On the contrary, when the tenth princess got married, Concubine Rong, as the mother-in-law, accompanied the tenth princess with a lot of things, which surpassed her, the mother-in-law!
She said to herself, Concubine Rong is the daughter of Huibu and Zhuo's family, that is, the princess of Huibu, not to mention that the princes of Huibu in Beijing always send things to the palace, even the Nianban Burke who goes back to the Ministry every year When entering Beijing to enter the pilgrimage, they will definitely present tribute to Concubine Rong, so Concubine Rong has a lot of money, so there is no good thing.

She didn't want to admit that she also lived a full life. When Concubine Rong celebrated her birthday a year before her full life, the emperor also gave him a full reward of five or nine items, a total of 45 items!
