The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 582 Box
After Prince Yi died of illness, Concubine Xi was overly sad and fainted.The emperor was so sad that he didn't come to the court for several days and became thin.

Even so, there are still people who laugh at Yan Yan ignorantly.In mid-May, after Prince Yi was buried, someone impeached Prince Cheng Yunzhi for several crimes. Indulging and helping his father to do evil, although now he is only imprisoned and free, but Prince Cheng Yunzhi has no remorse and introspection, and still harbors resentment towards the emperor; Prince Yi passed away, but Yunzhi refused to wear mourning clothes, and everyone gathered The palace is in mourning, but he arrives late and leaves early, without sincerity...

Yinzhen can no longer reconsider the first few items, but he can't bear the last one.This Yunzhi has harmed Shisan a lot, now that Shisan is gone, he still disrespects him like this, it is an unforgivable crime!
Yinzhen immediately ordered that Yunzhi be arrested and handed over to the clan's government for deliberation.The clan mansion acted according to circumstances, and proposed a death penalty for him.

However, Yinzhen's conscience was not lost after all, and in the end Yunzhi's title was cut off, and he and his family were imprisoned in Yong'an Pavilion in Jingshan, while Hongsheng continued to be imprisoned in the clan's mansion.He always remembered the ancestral precept not to kill his brother.

After Yanhua looked at the box, it took more than half a month before she finally pulled herself together.At that time, Jiahui fainted twice in succession due to excessive sadness. When Yanhua asked the imperial doctor to see her, she found out that Jiahui was pregnant for nearly a month.

Yanhua was overjoyed, put away her sad emotions, and comforted her every time she saw Jiahui...

Before Guarjia committed suicide, he brought a big box into the palace. Although the old maid who served Guarjia was very strict and never revealed what was in the box, Xiao Qi still felt something was wrong. Son.The Guerjia family entered the mansion several years earlier than her, and the Guerjia family saw many things that she did not know.

When Xiao Qi entered the palace to meet Yanhua, she asked about the contents of that box.Yanhua smiled calmly, but she had mixed feelings in her heart.She couldn't tell the truth. From her point of view, Xiao Qi didn't know Shisan's love, so she didn't want to make Xiao Qi sad, so she lied casually, saying that it contained some valuables saved by the Guarjia family. , as a gift to Yanhua who wants her to help take care of the people in Prince Yi's Mansion in the future.

Xiao Qi never thought of doubting Shisan and Yanhua, so after hearing Yanhua's explanation, she just sighed: "She also has a heart, she usually doesn't talk much, but she has always devoted herself wholeheartedly to Lord Xiang. Thinking about it. The Lord never owed me, but owed them."

Yanhua was stunned, and smiled: "Sister, why bother with others, Lord Thirteen has been with you for a long time, so he is destined to be inseparable from them. There is no room for humility in matters of affection."

"Hehe, Chan'er is right, I just feel sorry for them when I see them crying so much." Xiao Qi smiled wryly for a while, then became dazed in a daze.

"We are good sisters. I feel so bored in this harem by myself. My sister will often come to accompany me when she is free." Yanhua saw her dejected expression, knowing that she would not be able to get over the grief for a while. When he came out, he said something else.She can't go out of the palace often, so she can only hope that Xiao Qi will enter the palace often, and she will give Xiao Qi a lot of advice.

"Ma'am, Eunuch Zhang from the House of Internal Affairs is here."

"Well, let him come in. You take him to drink a bowl of tea first, and my son will go there later." It's already June, and although the funeral of Prince Yi is left to the clan's family, Yan Hua's role People acting as representatives of the Sixth Palace will inevitably have to worry about it.As the most outstanding eunuch in the Guangchu Department, Zhang Lizi naturally had to support him with money, onyx, tea and other things.So after going back and forth, Zhang Lizi successfully gained Yanhua's trust.

"In that case, my younger sister can go to work. I still have to go to see Huier, and I will go to the palace to chat with my younger sister some other day." Seeing that she was busy, Xiao Qi naturally had no intention of staying any longer.

Yanhua comforted her for a while before she left the palace with a gloomy expression.

Zhang Lizi sent two cans of lotus leaf tea, which was made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs: "Madam, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Drinking this lotus leaf tea can clear away heat and relieve fire. It's the best."

"Hehe, it's time to work. A little eunuch will send it. If there is any need for labor, Eunuch Zhang will send it in person." Yanhua winked at Shao Yao, Shao Yao understood, and hurriedly took a piece of silver.

Yanhua said: "This silver, Eunuch Zhang will take it to drink tea."

The ingot of silver is big, about three taels in shape.But Zhang Lizi quickly waved his hand and refused to accept: "Your Majesty has beaten this servant, and now Your Majesty is in charge of the Sixth Palace, it is the slave's blessing to be able to look at the servant to do such a small matter."

"Hehe, this mouth can really speak. But there is no reason to take back the things I send out. Could it be that you don't like this little money?" She felt sad that Zhang Lizi did things neatly, but I don't want to owe him anything.

"Oh, I don't dare!" Zhang Lizi hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and held up the silver in his hands, "Your Majesty, I don't know if this slave can be bold enough to borrow something from Your Majesty?"

Yanhua looked at him for a moment, then asked in confusion: "What is it?"

"My lord has always said that you can save if you can, and don't waste too much. When I was drinking tea just now, I saw a lot of empty boxes in Jingren Palace. If the empress can't use it, can I lend it to the House of Internal Affairs? Empress Palace If there is a shortage of boxes inside, the servant will send someone over right away." Zhang Lizi kowtowed again.

Seeing that he was saving so much, Yanhua was naturally happy.She is becoming more and more stingy now, and she is not allowed to cook too many small dishes for daily meals, as long as there is enough to eat, if she cooks too much and she really can't eat, she will give it to the palace servants.The same is true for the clothes I wear on weekdays. I always take a few pieces and change them over and over again. If they are really old, I change them to new ones.As for those old clothes, she will let Shao Yao sew and mend them into something else. There is a cushion on her couch, which is made of old clothes stuffed inside.

Lingxi once murmured that their master was going back as they lived.I never saw Yanhua being so frugal when I was in the residence before, but now she is even reluctant to throw away her old clothes, who would believe it.The majestic Concubine Xi of the Qing Dynasty, now she is so bitter that she refuses to eat more than three dishes, which is really good enough. Lingxi doesn't know what she is doing with such hardship while guarding a lot of glory and wealth.

Yanhua chuckled: "It's good if you have this kind of heart, don't look at the bustling capital city, there are still many ordinary people outside who suffer from natural disasters and can't even eat enough. I'm worried that those boxes are empty, you Since those boxes can be used, it is naturally the best. Xiao Yuer, help Eunuch Zhang carry the boxes, see which boxes are empty, and send them to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Xiao Yu'er looked at Zhang Lizi strangely, wondering when he became so frugal.Wei Chang'an had reminded him that there were abnormal people in Jingren Palace, so Xiao Yu'er knew through Jin San that there was something wrong with this plum, so he naturally became wary of him.

When he ordered people to sort out the empty boxes, someone also moved out the box that was burnt a little inside.That box was the one that caught fire when Concubine Xi locked her stomach in the ear room, and the inside was a little burnt.

"Put it down, put it down, the inside of this box is burnt, why move this out? It's embarrassing! Moving this to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, wouldn't it make people laugh out loud, others think that we in Jingren Palace are so poor that we can only use a box It's all gone." After Xiao Yu'er saw it, she hurriedly scolded the little eunuch.

"Eh? It's useful!" Zhang Lizi looked over when he heard the commotion here, and his eyelids twitched slightly when he saw the appearance of the box, "This box is made of high-quality elm wood, which is strong. Very, very usable.”

Xiao Yu'er secretly stared at him, not convinced: "Eunuch Zhang, Madam said that this box..."

"Your Majesty said that all empty boxes should be brought out for me to bring back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for reuse. Why, did I not hear clearly or are you deaf? So good that you don't even want to let me take a broken box back?"

Zhang Lizi was not happy, this little Yu'er was 20 years younger than him, wasn't it just luck to become the chief eunuch of Jingren Palace?It shouldn't be difficult for him, who doesn't know that Zhang Lizi is the most vengeful?snort!

Xiao Yu'er muttered twice, but didn't make another sound.After that day, Yanhua didn't specifically tell him how to deal with the box, so Xiao Yu'er asked people to pile it up with other old boxes.He felt that the box was probably nothing important, so he could just take it if Zhang Lizi took it.

However, after thinking about it, he still had to let his master take care of Zhang Lizi, so as soon as Zhang Lizi left, he quickly turned around to look for Yanhua.

On the way back to the House of Internal Affairs, Zhang Lizi deliberately took a look at the box: "This box is a bit burnt, and it is not suitable for storing those good things. I happen to be short of a box in my house to store clothes, so I will send this box to me." Let's go inside."

"Cha." The two young eunuchs Nuonuo who were carrying the box nodded.

Zhang Lizi knew that this box was sent into the palace by the Guerjia family, and he also knew that there were some unsightly things in the box, but he didn't know what was inside, so he wanted to take the empty box back and study it... …

In the following months, the palace has been very peaceful.Only Yinzhen became more and more angry.

Since he asked people to compile "Da Yi Jue Mi Lu" and preached it around, the ministers paid special attention to the anti-Qing remnants.Although the works of Lv Liuliang, an anti-Qing man in the former dynasty, were burned, there is still another collection of poems passed down in his family. Every month, there are always a few collections that mention some real or fabricated evidence of Lv Liuliang's crimes.

After Thirteen Passed away, Yinzhen had been suppressing grief in his heart, and every month he read a few books about those who had reported anti-Qing people, and the anger in his heart became more and more intense with each passing day.

On that day at the end of September, Yanhua went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to visit Yinzhen, and as soon as she entered, she encountered him being angry again. All the eunuchs inside were kneeling on the ground, and the atmosphere was really depressing.

"Get out!" He threw a memorial, almost hitting Su Peisheng's hat.

"Cha!" All the eunuchs responded in unison, and hurriedly retreated on their knees.

"Chanchan, you go back first." Just now someone came in and passed by, so Yinzhen knew who it was without looking up.His voice was filled with repressed anger, and the veins on his forehead were trembling slightly.

Where could Yanhua feel relieved, she took two steps closer, and softly called out: "Zhen Lang? I'll stay with you..."

With a "hiss", Yinzhen tore a piece of paper, interrupting Yanhua's voice.He didn't raise his head, but said calmly, "Chanchan, you also get out."
