The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 220 Longevity
In May and June, summer in the Forbidden City is the most unbearable heat, and the scorching heat cannot be completely subsided even at night, like a dense net that is tightly sewn on a person's body, covering half of the body with oil and sweat.

At that time, Li Xiyu, an nobleman who lived alone in the Palace of Yanxi Palace, moved a mahogany chair with bird texture in the courtyard, facing the gentle evening wind to temporarily relieve the heat.The roses in full bloom in front of me exude a lush fragrance, and the petals move with the wind, making the surroundings more and more quiet.

Xi Hua lowered her eyes and took a deep breath of the sweet-smelling air. Yin Zhu moved the jade urn full of ice cubes from the hall to her side, and held a jade bone fan in her hand to enjoy the cool air for Xi Hua: " We turned to the west side of the hall to bask in the sun, and after a day of sun exposure during the day, the hall is a little hotter at night, if my lord can't rest my slaves and servants, I will go to the House of Internal Affairs to get more ice tomorrow."

Xi Yu stared at her with a disgusted look on her face, and suddenly snatched the jade bone fan from her hand and threw it on the ground: "What are you doing with those ice, you just need to be an eyesore in front of me if you have nothing to do."

Seeing this, Yin Zhu defended with a teary look on her face: "My lord, this servant has never done anything wrong. That doll is indeed made of the 'Flying Snow Satin' provided by the Household Department for Changchun Palace." She said Then, he walked into the hall quickly, and found some unused broken steps from nowhere and held them in his hands: "Look, the leftover cloth is still there, and the slaves used to be on duty at the manufacturing office. We will definitely not get confused and go wrong when we wait for things!"

Xi Wei glanced around vigilantly, shook her head violently: "Idiot, do you want to die if you still keep those things?" He whispered: "Take it down and burn it quickly. If others see it, we won't be as unlucky as that stupid girl of Empress Renxiao."

Yin Zhu has been with Xi Wei for a long time, so she naturally understands the important point of Xi Wei's words, so Wei Wei goes down and finds a fire pocket to burn the white cloth.

The fire light grinned like a charm and smiled recklessly in the darkness. The light cast on Xi Yu's eyebrows, reflecting a cloud of suspicion.

"You have made no mistakes, so can her Changchun Palace still be haunted?"

Yinzhu sobbed softly, and said with grievances: "The doll was made by the servant himself, and it was also buried by the servant himself. The servant has always been cautious in following the young master these years, and now this doll must have been replaced by someone else. .”

Xi Wei stood upright by the door, and her figure in lake blue pajamas was outlined by the dark red sky water paint beams and pillars, which was particularly eye-catching and thin.She contemplated for a moment, then let out a muffled snort before she settled down: "No wonder the expression of Concubine Wan in the palace is so calm today, as if everything is in her expectation."

She glanced sideways at Yinzhu and rolled her eyes: "I told you to find a reason to bury that doll in her palace, but you refused to listen and put it under the palace wall. You're being smart, it's okay now, it's self-defeating right?"

Yinzhu's tearful eyes danced together: "Little master, the matter of left and right didn't bother you. After all, Luo promised to be our scapegoat. Since she entered the palace, she has given you a lot of face. Now that she is banned, what is wrong with us?" It’s not a bad thing to say.”

"You have a mouth that can speak well." Xi Yan bit her lip halfway, and said with a hint of hatred: "If you listened to me, the one who is now locked up in Nanxun Palace is that bitch Wanbi! I have tried my best to plan For a long time, only the innocuous Luo Fu has been eliminated, Wan Concubine is already thoughtful and cunning, so it may be difficult to attack her in the future."

Yinzhu lowered her head and rubbed her slightly faded skirt, whispering softly: "My lord is on good terms with Concubine Wan, she is not suspicious of you after all. The time in the palace is still long, we have the intention to deal with her, how can we deal with her?" Afraid of running out of time?"

Xi Ye turned around and staggered towards the inner hall. Because she was not in harmony with Yin Zhu, she couldn't handle this matter smoothly, so she still had a gloomy expression on her face and said: "We will talk about the future, but if you dare to make up your own mind again, it will be ruined." My idea, I will not pamper you like today." Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Yin Zhu standing there, weeping and weeping, and she couldn't feel bored: "What are you doing in a daze, bring the ice urn closer Come on, my majesty, I don't have the time to waste time with you in this sweltering heat."

Here, Xiang Xihua had just entered the bed, and she felt drowsy when she suddenly heard the sound of a happy whip in the palace.

She suddenly woke up from the dream, called Yinzhu in a rough voice and said impatiently: "What's going on outside in the middle of the night, why is it a happy event for the palace after Luo promised to be punished?"

Yin Zhu's eyes flickered and she didn't dare to look directly at Xi Ye, she timidly replied: "Returning to the young master, listening to the voice, it seems to be coming from the direction of Cheng Qian Palace."

Xiuyan from Chengqian Palace is pregnant, and now she is about to give birth, since the sound of the happy whip came from Changchun Palace, one doesn't need to think carefully to know the reason.

Xi Yan's expression gradually turned cold, and she ordered Yinzhu to close the doors and windows tightly, regardless of the sweltering heat, the quilt was pulled upwards and covered her face.

The person hid under the thin silk quilt, tears streaming down his face.

Once upon a time, when I was pregnant for the first time, I always looked forward to the birth of Lin'er in the future, and there was a day when the palace would be full of joy and excitement.

However, because of the empress and concubine Hui's jealousy, his own child became a poor victim of the harem women's struggle for honor. I didn't even have time to take a look and hurried away.

Thinking of this, Xi Yu couldn't help but clenched her quilt hand tightly, and her two rows of white teeth were about to be bitten into pieces in her mouth.

On the other side, the Chengqian Palace was brightly lit at night, and the midwife and the imperial physician were extremely busy. Rong Yue hurriedly paced back and forth outside the palace until a loud cry of a baby came from the side hall, and her expression changed. Relax a little.

The nurse who delivered the baby walked out of the side hall with a bright yellow swaddle in her arms, and hurriedly said to the eunuch who sent the message: "Go to Qianqing Palace and report to the emperor, the nobleman gave birth to a little elder brother safely. "

With the support of Lian Xin, Rong Yue went forward to look, and saw that the infant child had a chubby face, two curving eyebrows in appropriate shades, a pair of piercing peach blossom eyes followed Xiu Yan's, like containing It is as clear as a green spring.His chubby hands, with stubby fingers waving wildly in the air, seem to have infinite energy, making people feel affectionate when looking at them.

Rong Yue wanted to go to see Xiuyan who had given birth, but she was stopped by the nanny and persuaded: "Mr. Rong is very weak and tired after giving birth. It is already the middle of the night. Please return to the palace to rest, and wait for the glory tomorrow." The nobleman looks better, so let's visit again."

On June 14st of the 21th year of Kangxi, Ma Jiaxiuyan, a nobleman, safely gave birth to a prince in Chengqian Palace.

The next day the emperor was overjoyed and rewarded Chengqian Palace all over.

Because all of Xiuyan's heirs died earlier, the emperor personally bestowed on the prince the title of 'Longevity'. It goes without saying that all expectations and wishes for this child are reflected in this name.
