Chapter 264 The Prince
The days in the palace are long, and since the emperor came to Chengqian Palace again, Rong Yue's honor and favor can be said to have always wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with Wan Yu.

The relationship between Wan Lai and Rong Yue has returned to the intimacy of the past. Although the emperor has not issued a decree to restore Rong Yue's position, but the emperor's favor continues. thing.

On December 14th in the [-]th year of Kangxi, it was the birthday of Kangxi's son Chenghu, but because of another incident, this day that should have been mourned in the palace was turned into a day of sticking red and green firecrackers .

The much-anticipated day of establishing the crown prince arrived as scheduled amidst the sound of auspicious celebrations.

On that day, the emperor led all the kings, Baylor, Beizi, Duke, and internal ministers, academicians, Dutong, Shangshu, Jingqi Nihafan, guards, etc., to pay homage to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Palace, and then held the ceremony in the Hall of Supreme Harmony In the canonization ceremony, the gold book and gold treasure of the Crown Prince Yinfeng, who was one year and seven months old at the time, were awarded to the East Palace.

Because the prince was young, the ceremony for the appointment of the prince, which should have been very complicated, had some gains and losses, but it was harmless.

The next day, the emperor came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to receive congratulations from civil and military officials on the establishment of the crown prince, and issued a decree to the world, saying: "Since ancient times, emperors have inherited the heavens and set up poles to care for the Yuhuan area. The Mianzong Society has no borders. I remember Hongxu, tremble day and night, look up to my ancestor Mo Lie Zhaoshui, and entrust him with the most important; Cheng Yu Yanqing, end in Yuanliang. My son Yinfeng, who is handsome in appearance and talented Absolutely beautiful. I respectfully abide by the benevolent orders of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, carry out the ceremonies, and obey the public opinion. I would like to tell the world, the ancestral temple, and the community. On December 14, the [-]th year of Kangxi, Yinfeng was granted a book and a treasure. Established as the crown prince. He is in the East Palace, to respect the rule of ten thousand years, and to be the heart of the world. The grand ceremony is completed, and the grand ceremony is completed, and all the cooperation matters are listed later. In the play. Zhihu. Lun's sound is Huan, and he uses the mighty benevolence. Announcement at home and abroad, so that people can hear it."

Also because of the joy of the country, the emperor bestowed the grace of universal celebration, such as tax exemption, amnesty for death row prisoners and so on.

At the same time, a Yamen of Zhan Shifu① was set up to be the director of the East Palace, and staffed with officials.He was promoted to cabinet minister Kong Guodai, and Chen Tingjing, a minister of the Hanlin Academy, and served as Zhan Shifuman and Han Zhan Shi.

The establishment of a prince also brought a lot of benefits to the Hesheli family in the previous dynasty.

Shuyu and Luofu's biological father, Yinfeng's maternal grandfather, Hesheli Gabra, was conferred the title of first-class duke, hereditary.

For a while, the Hesheli family was more prosperous in front of the harem.

Relying on the power of his mother's family in the previous dynasty, Luo Fu, a grand prince's nephew like Yinreng, has a more rebellious temper, and he doesn't take others seriously.

On December [-]th, the emperor held a banquet in the Qianqing Palace, and the palace was full to congratulate Yinfeng on being crowned prince.

At the wedding banquet, Luo Fu hugged Yinreng back and forth for fun and teasing, perhaps because of the strong blood relationship or the resemblance between her and Empress Renxiao, Yinreng was very cute in her arms, neither crying nor making trouble, just 'Giggle' couldn't stop laughing.

The emperor was overjoyed at the moment, and he rewarded Luo Fu with a lot of silks and satins newly woven by Jiangnan, which contained the color of Zhenghong, and then said: "I know you like it, take it down and make clothes, just wear them in your spare time, don't collide with them." The concubine next to me."

Luo Fu was in a hurry to thank her, and then swept across the concubines with a wanton look, for fear that others would not see her complacency.

During the banquet, concubine Yi was constantly circling between the nobles and the two empress dowagers, Wan Lai was already tired of dealing with these, and just sat and chatted with Rong Yue to pass the time.

When the crowd dispersed, Wannai dragged her tired body back to the Changchun Palace, and Shuangruo prepared a basin filled with milk and orchid juice to wait for Wanya to remove her make-up, bathe and change her clothes.

"Lord Luo has taken the limelight today, and the emperor will definitely announce her to be his servant at night."

Shuangruo's words echoed in Wanyu's ears very lightly, she chuckled lightly, and plucked the orchid petals floating on the washbasin with her fingertips: "When she first came into favor, she relied on having the same face as Empress Renxiao. When he was in favor, he relied on Yinreng to be crowned prince, such "glory favor" and "lime limelight", but I would never dare to change it to my palace."

Shuang Ruo said with a smile: "After all, it is the empress who sees clearly. The empress has noticed that Tong Zhuer seems to be different recently from before."

Wan Yu said: "The way she dresses up is really amazing, the delicate makeup and the light pink butterfly pattern cloak complement her very well, even the elder sister boasted and praised such a beautiful woman in the past, and she was buried in the palace. "

"The make-up and clothes are not important. The empress has not noticed Master Tong's temperament. It seems to be different from before?" Shuangruo wiped Wanyu's body after bathing with a clean square towel, and took silk satin pajamas as a substitute. She put it on: "In the past, when people gathered together, Master Tong was the most exhausted to deal with it just like the empress, but now she can coax the emperor and the two queen mothers to smile during the exchange of cups and cups. It's really not like her." Once upon a time."

Wan Yu took the golden scissors in front of the dressing table, and cut off the wick of the candle with a smile: "Which of the people who entered the palace is the same? It is always a good thing that my sister is willing to open up and talk to people."

Shuangruo waited for Wanyu to enter the couch, carefully tucked in the corner of the quilt, and then said: "Looking at the prince's round face today, he is very cute. Now that the son of Empress Renxiao is appointed as the prince, the empress also needs to be more polite to Mr. Luo in the future." .In case something happens and he becomes king in the court of the crown prince, you"

"Shuangruo, it's unacceptable to curse the emperor like this." Wanyu lightly reprimanded Shuangruo, and then a trace of sadness flashed in her heart, she whispered: "Why would I want to be at odds with her? She didn't find my fault. The palace is about to burn incense and pray for blessings. However, if this palace also has children, it is impossible to be a crown prince, and it is also a joy for this palace to stand by his side day and night to accompany him to grow up."

She caressed her lower abdomen, as if feeling the traces of her child who once lived in her body: "Today, everyone is said to be a very lucky person, but at the age of half a year, he is already the most honorable person in the world. But in the eyes of this palace, this is his happy event and also his sad event."

She sighed softly, lowered her voice and said to Shuangruo slowly: "The honor above ten thousand people must be accompanied by the loneliness in the land of no one, this child is without the care of his biological mother, how can the emperor take care of everything? Growing up in such an environment, he doesn't know what kind of cold and ruthless temperament he will develop in the future. In this way, even if he faces the court, what is the fun in this life? He has the supreme power and endures the loneliness that no one knows. Let's look at the suspicious temperament of the emperor now, how do you know that there is no reason for the early death of the Empress Dowager Cihe?"

"Everyone has a destiny, and everyone has a definite number. It's late at night, and there is no need for the empress to worry about it. Let's arrange it earlier."

Shuang Ruo saw that Wan Lai was probing deeply, fearing that she would recall the loss of her son again and feel sad, so she opened her mouth to stop her speech, extinguished the last two palace lanterns in the bedroom, and Fu Li left.
