The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 185
The news of Ye Bilong's serious illness came to Wanyu's ears after the emperor returned to the palace that day. She originally wanted to go to Qianqing Palace the next day to ask the emperor to allow her to go out of the palace to see Ye Bilong for the last time, but the next day it was dawn, Then some palace spies came to report.

Ye Bilong was plagued by a serious illness, so he passed away in the mansion last night.

To Wanyu, this news was like a bolt from the blue. Only three years after her mother passed away, Ama went with her.

Now there is no one in Niu Hulu's mansion in the previous dynasty.

His father, who once held power in the government and was one of the four auxiliary ministers, and made great achievements in the Qing Dynasty, died like this?

Wan Lai Chi sat on the couch, letting the tears flow freely.Seeing that it was almost time to greet the queen, she was still absent-minded and silent.Seeing this, Shuang Ruo was anxious, and whispered to her: "Your Majesty, I dare not delay any longer."

Wanyu wiped away her tears, and returned to Shuangruo's words with empty eyes: "Go and ask the empress for leave for me. I'm not feeling well today, so I won't go to Kunning Palace to pay my respects."

Shuangruo showed embarrassment, but Wanyu's attitude was decisive, she couldn't say anything more, so she had to bite the bullet and take on this job.

Seeing Wanlao Shenshang weeping silently, Yun Chan unconsciously had a calculation in her mind, sobbing: "Madam, just now someone from the mansion came to send a message, asking how to deal with the funeral of the master."

Wanyu was stunned when she heard this, and said in confusion: "The emperor ordered Ama to still be the Duke's guardian of the inner court, and the funeral should be done according to the etiquette, so how can we talk about it?"

Yun Chan felt a little embarrassed, and lowered her eyebrows and said, "Madam, although the master still has an official salary, how can the huge Niuhulu mansion be maintained with only that little monthly salary? Even if we help Concubine Yi every month, That is far from enough. After the Oboi incident, the officials who are usually close to the master are eager to abandon their relationship with the mansion and cut off contact with the mansion. In addition, the man has been seriously ill for a long time, and the mansion always has servants with dirty hands and feet Wrong mind, plus"

Yun Chan hesitated, paused for a long time before biting her lips and said: "In addition, the Bayara family fled to nowhere with the remaining money and silver. Now that it has reached this point, the old people left in the mansion are only a few of you. Younger brother, there are only two left in charge, Jia Ding and Tong Jia. If he is buried according to the ritual system, he will need a lot of money."

Wanyu was extremely angry, she gradually clenched her hands into fists, and said ruthlessly: "What a shameless bitch, I am so ruthless that day, I didn't make up my mind to take her life in one fell swoop!" Tears rolled down her snow-like cheeks, and her voice Trembling uncontrollably: "It's really the tree falling and the monkeys scattered. When I was young, I was in the mansion, and I was used to seeing the hypocrisy of those people flattering and flattering. Now that the incident happened, everyone stepped on it. People also turn their backs on the Lord and seek glory.”

Yun Chan persuaded in a low voice: "Madam, now the master's body is still in the mansion, you have to find a way to bury the master as soon as possible. People have to go to the ground to rest in peace, right?"

Wan Lai opened her eyes, her gaze was empty and hopeless.

What can she do now, since something happened in the mansion, most of the monthly allowances of herself and elder sister have been entrusted back to the mansion.Now even if I want to help, I can't do what I want.

When she was feeling sad and thinking, Liang Jiugong rushed outside the house.

With a sad expression on his face, he asked Wanyu for An Fuli: "My concubine's day is sad."

Wan Yanlue wiped away the teardrops with a straight face, and gave Liang Jiu Gongping the back to force himself to be calm and said: "Now is the time for the emperor to go to court, why is Mr. Liang here at this time?"

Liang Jiugong replied with a respectful expression: "The emperor was discussing important matters with the ministers in the previous court. He was shocked to hear that Mr. Ye died of illness and was worried. He was worried about you and Concubine Yi. Although the emperor can't get away now, he always misses you. I entrust this servant to pass a message to the empress. After the death of Master Ye, the funeral ceremony will be arranged by the Ministry of Rituals himself. Compared with the honor and burial of the former ministers and assistant officials, I hope that the empress will be relieved. The emperor will come to Changchun when he comes to court. The palace visits the empress."

Warmth surged in Wanyu's heart, and the tears she deliberately held back burst into tears. Although she covered her mouth and nose, the sadness conveyed by the sound of sobbing was still engraved on the apex of Liang Jiugong and Yunchan's hearts like a sharp knife.The two of them comforted Wanyu together for a long time before she stopped crying: "My concubine would like to thank the emperor for his kindness, and I hope that Eunuch Liang will send a message to the emperor on behalf of my palace. Nothing, let the emperor not worry."

"The empress and the emperor care about each other, and this slave knows what the empress is thinking, so I will not be wrong." Liang Jiugong squeezed out a faint smile while speaking, and said in a deep voice: "The empress Xian sent a letter immediately after hearing the news. After returning to my mother's house, most of the Tong family's servants in Beijing's mansion went to Niuhulu's mansion to help, Madam, you can rest assured."

"Rong Yue."

Wanyu is extremely grateful in her heart, at this moment, she and Concubine Yi have nothing to rely on in the past, Rong Yue is still willing to help her, in this deep palace, this kind of friendship is really rare.

Everyone knows the icing on the cake, but this good boy who is on a desperate journey is even more heart-warming.

With the emperor's caring and love, and Rongyue's golden orchid friendship, although Wanyu still has a lot of sorrow in her heart, she can be regarded as finding a heart-warming fire in the loneliness.

In March of the 12th year of Kangxi, Ebilong died in his mansion in the capital.Emperor Kangxi bestowed the posthumous title of "Kexi" on him, and then gave him a sacrifice and burial, an imperial inscription, and a stone tomb path, which was extremely honorable.

In the same month, Pingnan Wang Shang Kexi invited the above-mentioned memorial to the old Liaodong, leaving his son Shang Zhixin to continue guarding Guangdong.After the collective discussion between the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War and the Minister of the King Baylor, they all agreed that the mercenaries would continue to stay in the town of Guangzhong if the letter was kept, and they might be domineering and difficult to control.

That day in the Kunning Palace, Hegong learned about the tragedy of Niu Hulu Mansion, and they all showed worry. The empress pretended to be ignorant, but instead ordered people to reward several bolts of bright silk and satin for distribution, as if celebrating What is normal.

She stared at Wanyu's empty seat, stroked her temples like cicada's wings, and said calmly: "This year's new Sichuan brocade materials, it's a pity that Wanyu is not here." She smiled lightly, and leaned her head towards Concubine Yi: " Concubine Yi, you can pick some colors that Wanfei likes later, send them to her palace, and say a few words of greetings for this palace. Lord Ye passed away suddenly, and this palace is not in a good mood."

Even though she said so, the smile on the corners of her eyes and brows can be seen by everyone.

Because of Ama's death, Concubine Yi didn't have the heart to argue with the queen, she just promised the next sentence and said nothing.

The queen gave a slightly charming 'hey', then stared at the maids serving in the palace and sighed: "The beginning of next month will be the day when the House of Internal Affairs selects the maids of the Three Banners, and these old people are serving every day in the palace. Time to add some new faces."

Xiuyan never saw the queen's affectation, she replied in a choked voice: "The empress's words are not entirely true, this person must have been used for a long time."

The queen raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Master Rong is very insightful, but why did Concubine Wan enter the palace three years after you, and now she is the lord of the palace, enjoying the emperor's favor? You are also an old man in this palace. , how did you give birth to two sons, and did not see the emperor say to you, this person must be used for a long time?"

Xiuyan wanted to argue, but He Rongyue gave her a hand, which made her sullen and silent.
