The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 1 Finger Marriage
At the end of September in the 43rd year of Kangxi, Niu Hulu Yanhua married into Sibeile Yinzhen's mansion, named Gege (as a concubine).

More than a month ago, Yan Hua came to Beijing as a beautiful girl, and had the honor to meet Long Yan once.

She still remembered that the day was sunny, and the sun was scorching the earth, and even the soil seemed to smell like it was dry.The cicadas on the big tree outside the palace scrambled to sing joyfully, making people feel irritable for no reason in this anxious weather.

Perhaps it was because of waiting in front of the Shenwu Gate for a long time, and being exposed to the midsummer sun, Yanhua sweated a little, her already fair complexion looked more exquisite and translucent, her cheeks were slightly flushed, as if she had wiped off a certain amount of makeup. The best rouge is generally touching.

Two of the other four sisters who were traveling with her were nervous because they were disrespectful in front of the hall, so they were given a sign on the spot.So when her father-in-law called her name, she panicked and almost knelt down because her legs were weak.Fortunately, her mother, Niu Hulu Lingzhu, was very strict in discipline on weekdays, so she quickly regained her composure and saluted respectfully.

She didn't dare to look up, thinking about what the emperor and empress dowager would ask her, her pair of shiny almond eyes rolled around.Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the hibiscus flowers embroidered with gold trim on the hem of the gown of the elder sister next to her, and she couldn't help sighing in her heart that it was so beautiful.

"It looks like I'm still a child, how old is it? What's your name?" She heard a kind and old voice, slowly and leisurely as if reciting a poem, much gentler than her mother's voice, listening to the slightest hint of emotion in her heart. The tension suddenly dissipated.

"The empress dowager is a thousand years old, and my servant, Niu Hulu Yanhua, is thirteen this year." She lowered her head quietly, and answered calmly, as crisply and vividly as a singing oriole.

"You have a calm temper." The empress dowager nodded slightly approvingly, with a smile on her lips, she slowly turned her head to look at the emperor beside her.

The emperor nodded in agreement: "Well, Ling Zhu taught her well. She has a calm temper at a young age, quite similar to Yinzhen when she was young."

She only knew that the emperor chatted with the empress dowager a few words, and then signaled Eunuch Li to keep her sign.

When she left, she couldn't help but secretly looked up at the emperor and empress dowager.One sits upright, majestic and daunting, but there is a soft light in his eyes; the other is modest and gentle, loving like an elder in the family, but there is a faint trace of inviolable solemnity and vicissitudes of fatigue between his brows.She hastily lowered her eyes, not daring to pry any more, and followed in time.

In fact, she didn't want to be left with a sign at first, because she already had a lot of rules in her own mansion, but her mother told her that there would only be more rules in the palace. It's the blink of an eye.Therefore, she was extremely unwilling to stay in the palace.

After patiently waiting for a month, she finally learned that she was accused of being handed over to Sibeile. The moment she knew the news, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yanhua was carried into Sibeile Mansion by the red sedan chair, the sedan chair was wobbly and bumpy, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.Thinking of how rare it is to see her grandmother Erniang again in the future, Yanhua couldn't help feeling sad.

When she was approaching the Sibeile Mansion, she hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Ying Xiu has been following outside the sedan chair, talking to her aloud from time to time.Thinking that there is such a close person, Yan Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled comfortably with the corners of her mouth bent.

Yingxiu is three years old, she is an orphan, and grew up with her.Because of her thoughtfulness and calm temperament, Ling Zhu arranged for her to accompany Yanhua to Beijing this time.

"Miss, here we are."

She didn't know how long she had been bumped by the sedan chair, but when Yan Hua was falling asleep, Ying Xiu called out softly, and Yan Hua shivered, and suddenly woke up.

arrive?

The place where she will live day and night is outside the sedan chair, right?
Sibeiler, what kind of person is he?
Thinking of the lover who will be with her day and night, not far away, her heart suddenly "thumped", and it felt like the feeling when she was learning to ride a horse for the first time when she was a child—excited, nervous, expecting , and a little bit of fear...
