Qing court ladies

Chapter 104
"Suyue, I asked Li Dequan to keep all your things, you can go and get them back, and there is one more thing." Kangxi took out a brocade box from under the pillow and handed it to Suyue, "Look at it, this is what I want most. It’s the same for you, but I don’t know if you want it or not.”

Su Yue looked at the palm-sized brocade box in Kangxi's hand, took it and opened it, there was a note inside, Su Yue looked at it, it was like putting a note into the brocade box and pushing it back to Kangxi, "Long Live Lord, I can't take this"

"Suyue, I once dreamed that you and I are just two people of all living beings, hand in hand, I am busy with making a living, you teach your children and husband at home, watch the sunrise and sunset together, wait for your children to grow up, watch them get married and have children, and wait for them to grow up. We are gray-haired and late, and we share the same coffin hand in hand. When I wake up, I can’t get back to my senses, cough, cough..." Kangxi coughed heartbreakingly, and Su Yue burst into tears. She had never dreamed, but How to deal with the desolation of waking up.

"Long Live Lord, please don't give up." Su Yue held Kangxi's hand tightly and begged.

"In my life, there is only one thing that I really want to do, and that is to marry you. Unfortunately, I couldn't do it after all." Kangxi looked at Suyue and said what was in his heart.

Su Yue threw herself into Kangxi's arms, choked up and said, "Long Live Lord, Su Yue please, Su Yue really can't bear the loss anymore"

"Suyue, call me Xuanye, okay?" Kangxi hugged Suyue tightly and asked in a low voice.

"Xuan Ye, Xuan Ye, Xuan Ye..." Su Yue called out one after another, and each call was in her heart. Before, Kangxi also asked for it, but Su Yue was still unwilling. Now, it is this time Open your mouth.

Kangxi smiled slightly, opened the brocade box, and stuffed the note in Su Yue's hand, "The things are there, and you can decide whether you want it or not. Su Yue, my time is approaching. Among these princes, do you think you can be the one?" Big Ren?"

Kangxi suddenly changed the subject, making Suyue at a loss, and instinctively shook her head, "Suyue doesn't know, Long Live Lord should ask all the ministers about this matter."

"Fourth and eighth, who do you prefer?" Su Yue heard Kangxi mentioning Yinhu, she felt infinite emotion in her heart, she rejected Yinhu in front of the world, but what is the meaning of mentioning it now.

"Okay, Suyue, I'm tired, you go down, you don't have to go back to Xinzheku from now on, your yard is still there" Kangxi waved his hand to signal Suyue to step down, Suyue looked at Kangxi, no matter how she felt Still reluctant, but Kangxi had already closed her eyes and fell asleep, so Su Yue had no choice but to get up and leave.

"Suyue, I don't want to meet you in the next life." Kangxi's tired and light voice came from behind Suyue's ears, Suyue burst into tears instantly, and nodded.Don't see each other, the two of them are tormenting each other in this life, Suyue didn't give what Kangxi wanted, and Kangxi didn't give what Suyue wanted, leaving nothing but pain for each other.Let the two of you let each other go in the next life and live your own life.

On November 55th in the 63th year of Kangxi, Kangxi died of illness in Changchun Garden at the age of [-].That evening, he moved into Da Nei for funeral.Longkodo, Zhang Tingyu orally handed down the imperial edict's fourth son, Yinzhen, who succeeded to the throne, and was called Emperor Yongzheng.

(Because of the plot, the date here is six years earlier, please don't care about it)

Overnight, the situation changed, and Su Yue looked at the person who was talking a few hours ago, but now he was lying in the coffin, closing his eyes and not speaking, letting the sky fall and not moving.The concubine cried bitterly in front of the coffin, but she didn't know what she was crying for. From now on, they were the concubines, and the new emperor's Fujin was presiding over them, as if they had the demeanor of a queen. Those red and swollen eyes were worse than anyone else.

"Suyue, the two young masters are here." Li Dequan brought Mianmian and Dudu in through the side door, never entering the main hall.

"Emiang, are you alright?" The two asked with concern, each holding Su Yue's hand.

Su Yue looked at the child in front of her, who was already taller than herself. Over the years, she had missed too much in Xinzheku, "Go, send you off, Ama"

There was an incense table in front of the coffin, and the two knelt down, took the incense from Li Dequan's hand, kowtowed respectfully and offered the incense.With red eyes, I think I have already cried, but it's okay, after all, the mourning hall is not suitable for them to cry.

"Emiang, can we have a funeral?" Dudu looked at Kangxi reluctantly and asked.

Su Yue shook her head, it was not easy to come here to see her for the last time, "Let's talk to you Ama"

"Suyue, you have to take care." Li Dequan looked at Suyue with distress. Ever since Kangxi passed away, Suyue had been by Kangxi's side all the time.

"Isn't Director Li the same?" Looking at Li Dequan's gray hair all night, if there were not Kangxi's funeral, Li Dequan might have followed him.

On November 55th in the [-]th year of Kangxi, Yinzhen ascended the throne, changed his reign name to Yongzheng, and conferred the title of Fu Jin as the empress, announcing it to the world.Feng Beile Yinhu, the emperor's thirteenth son Yinxiang, the university scholar Ma Qi, and Shangshu Longkoduo were the ministers of the prime minister's affairs.General Yinti, who Fuyuan was summoned, returned to Beijing for the funeral.

"Auntie, Long Live Lord is here" Gui'an shouted, and Su Yue's hand boiling the water directly touched the body of the pot, and it turned red.Until now, Suyue would be in a trance, thinking that the Long Live Lord is Kangxi, but Kangxi has never set foot in this small courtyard.

"What's the matter?" Yin Zhen asked, looking at Su Yue who was pinching her fingers.

Gui'an was busy answering, saying, "Go back to Long live, my aunt accidentally burned her hand"

Yinzhen took Su Yue's hand and looked at it, his fingertips turned red, and ordered Su Peisheng to get the medicine.

"I'm fine." Su Yue withdrew her hand and hid it in her sleeve.

"Li Dequan asked me to resign today. He wants to go back to his hometown to take care of his life. He has served Huang Ama for many years. I want him to stay in the palace. What do you think?" Yinzhen poured a cup of unboiled cold water and put Su Yue's finger on it. into the cup.

"Isn't there a place to live next to the mausoleum of the first emperor? Let him go there." Going back to his hometown or staying in the palace is not a blessing for Li Dequan. It is Li Dequan's wish to stay with Kangxi.

"Well, you're still thoughtful." Yinzhen held Suyue's finger and stirred it in the cold water glass, enjoying himself endlessly.

"Yinzhen, my mother-in-law is old, and I still need someone to take care of me. Yinzhen, I want to leave the palace." Su Yue had already wanted to say it, but Kangxi had just left, and she wanted to stay with her for a few more days Kangxi, but now it is unnecessary, and people can no longer see it.

Yinzhen's stirring hand paused for a moment, and then he acted as if nothing had happened, as if it had never happened, "Yes, your mother-in-law is old and really not suitable for hard work. I will give you a new courtyard and send someone to take care of you. Dudu and Mianmian It's time to practice, to see if they want to be officials in the court, or what to do, I can arrange it."

"Yinzhen, I want to leave the palace. I have been imprisoned here for the rest of my life. Let me go." Su Yue didn't want to go around in circles anymore, she really didn't understand why Yinzhen would disagree.

"I will come to see you tomorrow and return to Qianqing Palace." Yinzhen didn't respond directly, got up and left.

"Yinzhen, tell me the reason." Su Yue grabbed Yinzhen's sleeve and asked coldly.Kangxi imprisoned her here back then, will Yinzhen imprison her here now?What's more, after Kangxi left, even the concubine was taken away by her son. Could it be that now because she doesn't have the title of concubine, she can only die in the palace.

"I still have government affairs, can we talk about it in a few days?" Yin Zhen broke Su Yue's hand, still unwilling to answer.

Su Yue let Yin Zhen leave, looked at Yin Zhen's back, and said to herself, "How long can you escape?"

When the new emperor came to the throne, there were some changes in the palace. The concubine moved out and the new emperor's concubines took over. Because during the funeral of the first emperor, the empress only announced to the world and was not polite. Naturally, all the concubines were given positions. No canonization ceremony,

The concubines with children were taken back to their parents' homes, while those without children lived in the palace for the rest of their lives, and all the new concubines moved in until ten days after the new emperor ascended the throne. The Empress Dowager refused to enter the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

"Auntie, the Lord Long Live has not rested for several days. The Empress Dowager will not move to the palace and will not be sealed. There are rumors in the palace. The Lord Long Live went to ask for it, but the Queen Mother directly smashed things, and the Empress Dowager also went. It didn't work. Auntie, You think of a way, even if you can't let the queen mother move to the palace, let the long live Lord rest for a while, the slave looks distressed." Su Peisheng walked around Su Yue, and when he talked about the emotion, tears fell.

Su Yue put down the pen in her hand, looked at the scriptures on the past life that she had copied, her consciousness drifted.

"Auntie, you are just talking, please go and persuade Lord Long Live, Lord Long Live only listens to you." Su Peisheng watched Su Yue stop writing in a daze, and became even more anxious.

Yinzhen's succession to the throne is not like before. The first emperor personally handed down the throne, made the edict, and was witnessed by the auxiliary ministers. Yinzhen only had one oral edict, and there were two oral edicts passed down from generation to generation by the ministers who were close to others, and there was even an edict. None, let alone other witnesses, no wonder people are not convinced.

Concubine De didn't move to the palace because of this reason and her most selfishness. Concubine De liked Elder Fourteen, and Kangxi also valued Elder Fourteen in his later years. The two thought that the next heir apparent would be Fourteenth elder brother, but now 14 people are at the border, but the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, and he is still the son that Concubine De didn't like, so he is naturally unhappy, and he heard that the rumor is unusual, so naturally he has to make a fuss, and finally It’s so troublesome that the new emperor is suspected by the world, and the new emperor is abolished. It’s best to let the fourteen you like succeed to the throne in the end.

"Aunt. Aunt..." Su Peisheng's words were broken, but Su Yue's mind was wandering.

"Okay, I'm not deaf. Is Eunuch Li still in the palace?" Su Yue already had a solution in her mind, to let Yinzhen rest, she had to solve the big trouble, not to mention, she and Concubine De should also settle old scores. Yes, even though times have changed now.

"Yes, Lord Long Live said that when the late emperor sent the mausoleum to the palace, Eunuch Li was making a decision" Once the emperor and the courtiers, Kangxi passed away, the new emperor succeeded, and even the general manager was changing.

"Go and ask Eunuch Li to wait in front of the Empress Dowager's Palace, I'll be there soon." After Su Yue gave her orders, she began to change her clothes. The silver thread trim was more than a thousand times more gorgeous than the plain white dress.The white jade on the hair bun was also replaced by pearl embellishments, and the face was lightly applied with powder, making her whole body look brighter. It was completely impossible to tell that she was over forty, and she thought she was a 20-year-old girl.

Su Yue took out the long brocade box that she had collected for many years, and hung the brocade bag on her waist, then she took Zilu out and headed for Yanxi Palace.

The sky in the Forbidden City remains the same, but the personnel are completely different.

"Zilu, do you think it's better to suffer physically or mentally?" Su Yue stroked the brocade box in her hand, feeling infinitely emotional.During those years in Xinzheku, I never thought that I would be able to come out one day. Although it was hard and tiring, I really got out of the battle in the palace. Knowing why, Su Yue is still restless.

"Of course it's best if you don't suffer physically and mentally. Auntie, you shouldn't be so burdened. Your body has been emptied in Xinzheku, so you shouldn't be hurting yourself." Zilu looked at Suyue worriedly. With her, she has been with Su Yue for so many years, she understands her and loves her even more, especially after knowing about her, she vows to protect her all her life and never betray her.

"Zilu, you can't have both, let alone such a beautiful thing." If you can not suffer, how can you choose in the midst of suffering.
