The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 446 Restoration
One month later, the late winter and spring come, and the early spring in the Forbidden City comes quietly with the sound of firecrackers during the New Year's Eve.

With the coming of spring, everything recovers, and news of wars in the previous dynasty is also frequent.

At the beginning of February in the 20th year of Kangxi, the Qing army pushed the Wu army into Yunnan.

Led by the Tong family, Tong Zhitai and Tong Xiuqi, they paid tribute in batches, captured seven generals of the rebel army, and went all the way south, like a broken bamboo.

Such a happy event is spread throughout the palace, and everyone is naturally happy.

But when Pian Wanyu heard about this, she secretly thought something was wrong.

The bad thing is that Tong Zhitai and Tong Xiuqi are Rong Yue's close relatives. The two of them made a lot of contributions in the previous court, and the previous court in the harem was originally one. How can they not get involved with Rong Yue who is in deep trouble?
Although there is a heartless letter from Tong Guowei, how can she completely let go of her biological daughter?
It was three days after the great victory in the war, Tong Guowei really played a part, asking the emperor to reward the frontline soldiers generously, and appease the women in the harem to comfort the army.

This kind of content was told truthfully by the emperor Xuan Wanlai who attended the bed that night.

After hearing this, Wanyu looked at the emperor's uncertain face by the warm yellow candlelight: "What does the emperor think?"

The emperor was silent for a moment, wondering: "Tong Guowei's words are not unreasonable, but if I restore the position of Concubine Tong, how can I let go of the evil things she did in the past?"

Wanyu thought for a while and said: "I also feel that something is wrong. Let's not mention Rongyue's mistakes in the past, just talk about state affairs. Tong's meritorious service in the war should be rewarded. But how and when to reward is the emperor's will." How could he, Tong Guowei, be able to ask for it at will? Furthermore, the emperor's salary is for the emperor's worries, and the emperor's reward is a matter of affection. The battle with Wu Sangui has already used a lot of national money. If the reward is greatly promoted, I am afraid that it will provoke the resentment of the people. Even though this matter has the truth of his Tong's hard work, but the affairs of the harem have always been the emperor's family affairs. How can Tong Guowei judge? I really think I am the father-in-law of the country.”

Wan Lai's voice of the father-in-law was clearly intended to tell the emperor.But seeing the emperor staring at her with fixed eyebrows, he pretended to say something wrong, leaned forward and said: "The concubine speaks unscrupulously, the emperor forgives the sin."

"Master of the country" the emperor repeated a sentence, and said coldly: "Shuyu's biological father Kabula can be called the head of the country, and your father Ye Bilong can be called the head of the country. What is Tong Guowei? Thoughts for the future?"

Seeing that the emperor was furious, Wanyu secretly rejoiced, but she was surprised on the face and said: "The emperor has heard about Tong Guowei's self-proclaimed father-in-law?"

"Things that can be heard in your ears, how can I not know?" The emperor's brows were gloomy, and he couldn't help rubbing a jade agate string in his hand: "It's just that it's the time when the battle is critical, if you don't allow him , I’m afraid this battle will drag on for a long time.”

Seeing the emperor's expression gradually dimming, Wan Yu knew that even if the emperor didn't want to, Rong Yue's resettlement would be unavoidable if it interfered with state affairs.

I have tried my best to drag her into the quagmire, but now I want to see her turn around because of the power of her mother's family, how can Wannao bear it?
Even if she can comfort herself, how can Yide, Wen Yin, Yinti, these fresh lives lost in her hands, if Quan Xia knows, how can she give up?
But the emperor's disposition is clearest when he has been with him for more than ten years.

Even if he persuaded him, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, he is a king who would risk his life, how could he listen to his own words?
If he didn't do the opposite, it would make the emperor feel guilty towards her, and he would have more weight to check and balance Rong Yue in the future.

There was a short silence, and Wan Yu knelt down and said in a deep voice: "National affairs are the most important thing. The war has been chaotic for several years, and the people have no means of living. Although the courtiers and concubines are pampered in the palace, they are as one with the emperor, and they naturally care about the people of the Qing Dynasty. The concubine's crime is not a heinous crime, and she will not admit to the crime in the end, then, I ask the emperor to take the overall situation into consideration and restore Tong's noble concubine."

The emperor's body shook slightly, and he quickly leaned over to help Wanyu up: "What are you doing? What's wrong is that she wants you to kneel?"

Wan Yu smiled and said: "As long as it is for the emperor's good, the ministers and concubines don't care about it."

This hypocritical statement fell right into the softest arms of the emperor's heart.

He hugged Wanyu into his arms, and said slowly: "If you fall back to her, how can I treat you?"

Wan Yu shook her head: "Why do the concubine and the emperor need to talk about this? It's just that the concubine has something to ask the emperor in private."

The emperor let her go a little bit, looked at her face to face, and said softly: "Just tell me."

"The concubine will not have a child for a long time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for her body to conceive because of other reasons." Wanyu deliberately said the words "other reasons" very seriously, in order to arouse the emperor's deep feelings for her. apology.

Seeing the emperor's face looking sad, he said again: "Every day in the palace, seeing Rong Yue, Xiu Yan, and Lin Lan all have children by their side, I am really envious in my heart. I think about it, Rong Yue has three sons under her knees. How about if the emperor chooses a son for his concubines to raise? Firstly, it can relieve Rong Yue's hardship, and secondly, the loneliness of having no children under his knees can also be relieved a little."

The emperor gently caressed Wanyu's shoulder blades: "Wan'er, we will always have our own children."

He didn't know whether this sentence was persuasion or consolation, Wan Yu just listened, and after listening, she still said: "Who can say for sure about God's will? The emperor said so, but he doesn't want his concubine to raise your child?"

"Nizi talking nonsense." The emperor sighed, stroking Wanyu's cheek with infinite love: "You are the person on the top of my heart, which elder brother is raised under your knees, that is his blessing. I just don't know if you are with me." Who do you like? You have a good relationship with Concubine De in private, I'm afraid Yinzhen is the one who suits you best."

Wanyu pursed her lips, smiled and shook her head: "Yinzhen and Yinzhi are both young, after all Rongyue has experience in raising children, if a concubine is suddenly moved to the palace and is injured and sick, the birth mother will watch, and the minister will The concubine is always uneasy." Suddenly his face was bright, and he raised his eyebrows and said happily: "Actually, the concubine and the elder brother are very attached to each other. Every time the elder brother sees the concubine, he is willing to get close to the concubine. He is a child of ten years old. People are hardworking and sensible, so there is no need for concubines to waste their thoughts."

When Yinti was mentioned, the emperor's face sank obviously: "You know what happened to him in Shangshufang, so why choose him?"

Wan Lai held the emperor's hand tightly: "A child like him, who is ignorant of worldly affairs, how would he know what he was talking nonsense that angered the emperor? If he could know, he should have kept his tongue tightly shut that day. The concubine thought So, the fault of our adults can't implicate the children, right?"

Hearing the words, the emperor suddenly smiled: "Alright, with your teaching, I can rest assured that the rebellious thoughts that Concubine Hui and he instilled will be washed away as soon as possible."

Wan Lai bowed her body to express her thanks, leaned on the emperor's shoulder, and smiled in relief.
