The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 563
Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by.

After a few years of relaxation, the state affairs of the previous dynasty became tense and anxious again due to the turmoil in Junggar. The emperor stayed alone in the Qianqing Palace every day to review the memorials, and went to the imperial gate to listen to the government until the sunset and the moon rose. He had no time to take care of the harem.

In this way, time slipped quietly through the fingers, and a year passed in a blink of an eye. Because she didn't often go in and out of the harem, Lin Lan was the only one who was able to conceive in this year. Speaking of which, this child was her fifth. Son, such a blessing will envy everyone.

At first, he found that he had lost his appetite in April, and he knew that he had given birth to a lot. It was not until the end of May that the imperial physician Xuan came to see him and announced the good news to the public.

Following the example of being a concubine, the emperor gave her enough rewards, and occasionally went to the Yonghe Palace to visit her a few times, Zuo just told her to pay attention to her daily life and diet, and to be careful about her pregnancy.

As for Wanyu, during the whole year, she could count the faces of the emperor with just one pair of fingers.

Not only her, there are many women in the harem who haven't seen the emperor since the new year's festival.

Let's talk about Rong Yue, she didn't attend the New Year's Day because she was afraid of the cold, and she hasn't seen the emperor for ten months.

She waited by the Empress Dowager's side every day, taking care of her with respect and respect.

After Fu Zhuo was sentenced to sudden and bizarre death by the former imperial hospital, the emperor appointed the imperial physician Hesheli Baotai, who was below him, to take over the post of judge.

This Hesheli Baotai is a distant relative of Empress Renxiao, he can be regarded as a half-cousin, and he is unworthy to serve in the palace for many years. Now that he can survive such an official position, he is naturally happy and fearful.

Ever since he realized that the Empress Dowager was not in good health, due to Tong's current power in the previous dynasty, he naturally knew the word wise and safe.He never mentioned this matter, and occasionally the emperor asked about it and only said that everything was fooled.

Seeing that he was sensible, Rong Yue didn't feel troubled, and the usual reward of running water was not lost.

Although the emperor was busy with state affairs, he didn't often summon concubines, but there was a twist and turn in the process that caused quite a stir.

At the beginning of June, rumors began to go wild among the people in front of the imperial court that the emperor intended to promote the nobleman Chen Zhuolan as his concubine.

Such words naturally caused quite a stir, now that the harem already has eight concubines, if there are more concubines, wouldn't it provoke criticism from the government and the public?

What's more, it is at the stalls that are about to move in Junggar.

I thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect the emperor to actually mention it to Wanyu.

At that time Wanyu didn't have the intention to deal with him any more, she just said that he could do whatever he wanted, and she didn't need to ask her what she wanted.

The emperor saw her hesitation, he didn't know whether it was because he cared about Wanyu's relationship with him or because he was afraid of the endless discussions of the previous court, this matter came and went and went on the back burner.

It is self-evident when it comes to who is most favored by the emperor in this busy state.

Whenever the emperor has free time, he will call Zhuo Lan to accompany him.Although she is nothing compared to when Wan Lai was in full swing, she is finally the number one proud person in the Forbidden City.

She is very introverted and knows how to advance and retreat. Even if she gets this honor, she never dares to forget the rules. Usually, seeing concubines who are higher than her are respectful, and those who are lower than her are kind and caring. Everyone will gradually treat her Her hostility turned into coexistence, and after all, no one gossips about her behind her back.

It's just one thing, she has been favored so far but has not conceived so far, and people have to sigh about her blessings.

November 27th, the winter solstice.

Changchun Palace has been busy since the morning.

It is often said that dumplings are eaten during the winter solstice, and the ones prepared in the imperial dining room are not as satisfying as those made by myself in the palace.

Wannai then invited the concubines and concubines she was in love with to gather together in the same room, and even asked the palace people to be creative when making dumplings, adding the golden melon seeds rewarded by the emperor. Luck.

After the commotion, when the crowd wanted to retreat, the inner prison guard outside the hall reported that the emperor's royal driver was rushing towards the Changchun Palace.

After saying this, all the concubines had their own words.

Lin Lan, who bears the brunt of the pain, yawned and said, "Greedy eats so many dumplings during pregnancy, but I can't eat one that contains golden melon seeds. I really have no luck for my concubine." She smiled and waved With a wave of his hand, he went with his swollen belly.

Seeing this, Xiuyan also said: "If there is nothing else to do, the concubine will also leave first."

Then Concubine Hui Yu Wenyan said that she was anxious to leave when she worshiped Buddha every day, her concubine Qi Muge smiled lightly, and went with her as a companion.

Looking at the backs of everyone leaving, Wan Yu felt mixed feelings for a moment, feeling an indescribable awkwardness.

Thinking about when they first entered the palace, everyone tried different ways to please the emperor, earning blood for a little favor.If you hurt me today, tomorrow I will give you back an inch. You will come and go without showing any weakness, and you will never tire of it.

But I don't want to hear that the emperor is coming, but the first thing I think of is to avoid it.

Thinking of this, Wan Yu smiled coldly.

That's right, there are still places for others to avoid, so what about yourself?

She took a selfie in the mirror, Yun Chan and Shuang Ruo added new makeup to her, and when everything was ready, she stood respectfully at the gate of the palace in the face of the flying snow and waited for the arrival of the saint.

The dense snowflakes blocked the road in front of me, and I saw golden warm feet coming slowly. Everything was so familiar, yet strange.

Liang Jiugong, who was walking in front of the sedan chair, saluted Wanyu first, then waved his clean whip in his hand and said solemnly, "Down".

He opened the sedan chair curtain with familiar movements, and took a low stool to cushion the ground to wait for the emperor to get off the sedan chair.

Wan Lai caught a glimpse of the corner of the bright yellow clothes exposed, and the dense golden thread of the dragon pattern on it was particularly dazzling.

She didn't wait for the emperor to get off the sedan chair and stand still, so she hurriedly lowered herself to give a blessing ceremony: "My concubines respectfully welcome the emperor, and the emperor is blessed and safe."

A crowd of palace people gathered at the door and waited, even though they bowed politely, they knelt down all over the courtyard.

The emperor stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the crowd, raised his eyes to look at the plaque of the Changchun Palace, and finally locked his eyes on Wan Lai's delicately made-up face.

Long time, long time.

He stretched out his hand to support Wanyu, and said as usual: "I used to come, you were always waiting in the palace, busy with your own affairs, just waiting for me to go inside to find you. Now it's snowing heavily, How come etiquette has become more comprehensive?"

Wan Yu replied in a soft voice: "The concubines used to be young, but now they are at an age where they should understand the rules."

The emperor's hand clinging to her froze for a moment. He looked into the hall, took a deep breath, and quickly forced a smile: "It smells so good. When I came here, I wanted to eat a bowl of dumplings made by you. Last time It has been three months since I dined with you."

"The emperor remembers clearly, and the concubine can't remember the date."

The emperor saw her drooping eyebrows and eyes, and was unwilling to raise her eyes to look at him, so he couldn't help feeling a little unhappy.

"Let's go, don't stand in the snow, if you freeze your body, you will make my heart hurt."

Wan Yu nodded silently, and let the emperor lead her to the palace.
