The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 605 Extravagance
In February of the 11th year of Yongzheng, Yinzhen canonized Hongli as Prince Bao and Hongzhou as Prince He, but he did not allow them to open a mansion outside the palace. He only planned to let them leave the palace when they found a mansion they wanted.

In fact, Yinzhen still has another worry. He has few sons, and now there are only these two grown-ups. Hong En was adopted to Twelve, so he can't be regarded as his heir, and the one in Liu Guiren's belly is still Not yet born, whether it is a man or a woman is not yet known.

So he wanted to take care of his sons right now, so that he could feel at ease, lest Hongzhou and Hongli fight openly and secretly for the throne. If there were casualties because of this, Yinzhen would naturally feel bad.Furthermore, he was worried that if these two people lived outside the palace, they would be restless and not enterprising...

At the end of April, Yinzhen personally asked the examinees questions for the palace examination in the Palace of Preservation and Harmony.Zhang Ruoai was impressively among them, and Yinzhen paid extra attention to him because he liked him as a son-in-law.When they were writing and answering the questions, Yinzhen stayed by Zhang Ruoai's side several times.But Zhang Ruoai focused on answering the questions without distractions, and Yinzhen was more satisfied with his steady and self-sufficient appearance.

After the examinees have finished answering the examination papers, each examination paper will be sealed one by one, and then the examination papers will be graded by the examination paper officer on the day of marking, and then the best ones will be submitted to the emperor for personal reading.

In the end, Zhang Ruoai got the second-class Jinshi, not too outstanding, and did not occupy a place in the top three.But even if he didn't win the first prize, the second place, or the third prize, Yinzhen was quite satisfied with him, and he was awarded the post of editor and worked as an errand in the Imperial Academy.

Ever since Yinzhen and Yanhua revealed to Xiaoxiao that they intended to make Zhang Ruoai a consort, when she heard the word Zhang Ruoai, her ears pricked up unconsciously.It wasn't that she was attracted to Zhang Ruoai, it was just that she wanted to hear more from him, and to get rid of the image in her heart that made her sick.Otherwise, she really couldn't let herself marry a disciple willingly!

When she heard that Zhang Ruoai had won the Jinshi, she snorted for a while: "It seems that he doesn't have much literary talent, and he didn't make it to the top three. Hmph! I should let Huang Ama give me the number one scholar to be my son-in-law. It must be better than that Zhang Ruoai."

But after she inquired, she found out that the number one scholar already had a wife and daughter.The same is true for the second place, the only unmarried Tanhua, it is said that she is short and small, she really has no potential to be a son-in-law.

She could only sigh a few times resignedly to her fate, feeling that after the death of Empress Xiao Jing, she really started to suffer...

In order for Liu Guiren to give birth to a child safely, Yanhua informed Liugong on the first day of the first lunar month that Liu Guiren was unwell and would raise the baby safely in Chuxiu Palace, but anyone who wanted to see Liu Guiren had to notify Ren Gong.

After she made such a request, the people who had originally had bad intentions settled down.After all, it wasn't long before Mrs. An was demoted to promise, and none of them wanted to be a second promise.

On June [-]th, Liu Guiren gave birth to a little elder brother safely, and Yinzhen was naturally happy, after all, after he succeeded to the throne, not many children were born in this harem safely.So this time, for the first time ever, he went to Chuxiu Palace to see the child himself, and hugged him happily for a while.

On the second day, Yinzhen personally decreed that Liu Guiren should be made a humble concubine.On the third day, good news came from the Ganxi No. [-] Institute, and the Uzaku family also gave birth to a little elder brother safely.

With so many happy events, the palace was naturally full of joy.

According to harem practice, a child cannot be raised by his biological mother after birth.Of course, Yanhua is a special case, so it should be treated as another matter.

Therefore, after the child of Concubine Qian was born, Yinzhen ordered that after the child was full moon, he would be sent to Yanxi Palace to be raised by Concubine Yu.

Concubine Qian, who had always been joking and joking, was very sad about this, but she also knew that the emperor would not break the rules because of her, but thinking that she could still get along with the child for a month, she soon smiled again.

Yinzhen was very happy because of these happy events in the harem, and asked Yanhua to accompany him to Xiuyun Temple to pray for blessings on June [-]th.

Yanhua was worried that bad things would happen in the harem if she went out for a day. The concubine's child was born chubby and healthy, if she was hurt by someone with evil intentions again, both she and Yinzhen would be sad.So before she left the palace, she specifically asked Shao Yao to take care of Chuxiu Palace for a day, and also told Concubine Yu to take care of Chuxiu Palace that day.

Concubine Yu laughed that she was really worried, and told her to go to Xiuyun Temple without worry, and Concubine Yu and Liang Chen would take care of other things.

This time Yinzhen went to Xiuyun Temple with great fanfare. Luan Yiwei arranged the frame and canopy, which was majestic and majestic, showing the majesty of the royal family everywhere.

The royal driver in the middle is resplendent and resplendent, even the wheels of the carriage are painted yellow.The emperor's six-horse carriage is extremely comfortable inside, and sitting in it is not as uncomfortable as staying in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Melon and fruit snacks, tea chess board, everything is available.

However, Yinzhen did not ride in that carriage, but took Yanhua to sit in a four-horse carriage at the back, which was inconspicuous and not as comfortable as the royal carriage.

When Yanhua saw that Yujia, doubts arose in her heart.

Yinzhen had never been a luxurious emperor, and rarely went out to play in the palace. The most pastime was to live in the Old Summer Palace, but he continued to handle court affairs when he went to the Old Summer Palace, and did not really relax.When Emperor Kangxi was alive, he liked to go to Mulan Paddock to watch soldiers training, and he could also escape the summer heat in the Jehol Palace.But after Yinzhen succeeded to the throne, he almost never visited.He deals with government affairs all night long every day, and always says that he has no time to travel far.

After Yinzhen and Yanhua got into the four-horse carriage, Yanhua felt that the inner wall of the carriage was as hard as iron, so she could not help but look a few more times curiously.Only now did she become more certain that he didn't go to Xiuyun Temple to pray for blessings on a whim, but obviously had another purpose.

"That Lu Liuliang is an anti-Qing person, I have dealt with his descendants, but according to Wei Chang'an's investigation, there is still a descendant of the Lu family who has not been arrested." Yinzhen took her hand that secretly touched the inner wall, and came out. explained.

"Your Majesty... is this trying to lure that person out at risk?" Yan Hua was shocked, and immediately understood his intention.No wonder he was so extravagant this time, obviously to tell everyone that he, the emperor who lived in the deep palace for a long time, left the palace!

Yinzhen didn't nod or shake his head, but knocked on the inner wall of the carriage: "There are several layers of iron sheets inside, which are invulnerable to swords and guns, very safe, Chanchan don't have to worry."

Hearing what she said, Yanhua felt a little relieved: "Then the emperor doesn't have to follow seriously, he just needs to declare to the public that he is going to Xiuyun Temple to pray for blessings, and he doesn't have to take it seriously. The guards along the way are not as strict as in the palace. , there is always an unknown danger ahead. Fangzheng and others can't tell who is sitting in the driver's seat, so the emperor should go back..."

Yinzhen patted her hand, telling her not to be so worried: "I really want to go to Xiuyun Temple to pray for blessings. I am old enough to have another son, which shows God's blessing. I still have many things to do If you want to pray to the Buddha, you should go there in person."

Yinzhen is already 56 years old this year, he is really old, but Yanhua has never said that he is a little old man in the past two years.Humans are always afraid of death, and the reason for being afraid of death is that there is love in life and reluctance to give up.In the past, when Yanhua didn't think he was old, she would inadvertently laugh at him for being old; now that he is really old, Yanhua no longer laughs at him about it.

"Then if there is danger, Zhen Lang must not go out, and don't take care of me, just protect yourself." Yanhua held his face, looked into his eyes, and said seriously.She still remembers that time when there was a gunpowder explosion in the imperial garden, he was a majestic emperor, and he protected himself in his arms regardless of his safety.

"How can it be?" Yinzhen opened his mouth to refute, but seeing her concerned eyes tightly entangled between his brows and eyes, he couldn't bear to make her worry anymore, so he immediately changed his words, "Okay, okay, I It must not be in danger, and it will not let you in danger."

The whole journey was uneventful, and there seemed to be no danger at all.At the foot of the mountain, Yanhua breathed a sigh of relief.But Yinzhen's brows became more and more wrinkled, and the worry in his heart became heavier and heavier.

On the way to Xiuyun Temple, because the driver was sitting on a guard, such a trick was to lure the rebel to appear, but the rebel did not appear.Yinzhen couldn't help thinking that the rebel might have sneaked into Xiuyun Temple.

Xiuyun Temple occupies a very large area, surrounded by forests and mountain farms, no matter how careful the deployment is, there are always places that cannot be taken into account.It is precisely because of this that Yinzhen is worried.Therefore, the danger of being attacked on the way is smaller than the danger of being attacked at Xiuyun Temple.

He didn't express this worry, for fear that speaking out would scare Yan Hua.All the way up to Xiuyun Temple, there were imperial guards escorting him, because Yinzhen rejected Wei Changan's suggestion to let him and Yanhua change maids and guards, so all the imperial guards were extremely energetic, and no one dared to be careless.

Lu Liuliang, the anti-Qing man, had a concubine for his eldest son, who was raised outside because he was not tolerated by his wife. The eldest son of Lu did not admit his daughter's background outside, but he treated his mother and daughter very well in private.After the accident in the Lu family, the mother and daughter escaped secretly.

Wei Changan was cautious. Although the officials reported that they had captured all the descendants of the Lu family, he still asked the hidden guards to investigate in private, and finally learned of the existence of the mother and daughter.So Wei Changan ordered to hunt down the mother and daughter, but they were both killed when they resisted.

I thought the matter would be completely over here, but there was an undercurrent in Beijing, which seemed to have the intention of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty.

Wei Chang'an couldn't help suspecting that the descendants of the Lu family hadn't been completely arrested, and sent secret guards to confirm the descendants of the Lu family one by one according to the Lu family tree.

As a result, it was at the beginning of this year that Wei Chang'an learned that when the mother and daughter were hunted down, the daughter was dropped at some point and escaped, and the woman who died in her place turned out to be hers. maid.Wei Changan was shocked, and hurriedly ordered people to hunt down the escaped woman.Just two months ago, only the dark guards found suspicious people in Beijing.

The reason why the secret guards were able to detect suspicious people in Beijing was because of a letter they intercepted.
