The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 68 Lifting the ban ([-])

The emperor nodded, wrote the word 'filial piety' heavily, put down the brush and said: "The concubines who are new to the palace should go to the Palace of Mercy to pay their respects after the empress returns to the palace. I am thinking about Mrs. An's miscarriage. Don't leak the wind and let the Empress know, you know her temperament, if you know that such bad things happened in the palace when you left the palace to pray for blessings, you have to take all the blame on yourself, and you don't know how sad you will be. Empress He should strictly order Liu Gong to ensure that no one mentions this matter again."

"That's natural. This matter is too worrying. The empress dowager summoned her concubines to discuss this matter that day. It is roughly the same as the holy will. The concubines know how to act. Please be at ease." The queen approached The emperor looked carefully at the word "filial piety" written in the Mongolian language, and he couldn't help but praise: "The emperor's writing is very good. According to the humble opinion of my ministers and concubines, why not frame it with gold-rimmed jade and offer it to the benevolent In the palace, the Empress Dowager can also understand the Emperor's filial piety."

The emperor replied 'very good', and then ordered the maid to take it off and follow the queen's suggestion, while he took the queen's hand and walked all the way to the warm seat to sit down.

The sky outside the house hangs like a golden wheel.The white snow gradually melted away, and the dead branches and leaves faded all over the place.

The Dragon Head Palace Lantern is soft and not dazzling, and the dim yellow light is scattered faintly, reflecting on the handsome face of the emperor, and the bright yellow dragon robe on his body, his expression is peaceful and warm.

The empress stared at the emperor for a moment, then came back to her senses and asked: "The emperor ordered Liang Gonggong to call the courtiers and concubines, is this what you are discussing?"

The emperor glanced at her and nodded yes.The queen immediately said that she had something else to discuss with the emperor, but at this time the emperor murmured: "There is one more thing, I promise to come from a high family, now I will inevitably be asked by the emperor's mother, so it will be difficult to explain it at that time. Let her out first."

Sure enough, the emperor made such a big circle, and finally got to the point.

It's just that he said this lightly, as if he didn't mean to mention it.

Somehow, a ray of hatred rose in the queen's heart. After serving the king for four years, he had never seen the emperor be so crazy for a woman.

Many things that he would never have done in the past, but now he has done everything in her body.

What's more, as his first wife, he has never received such love and care for Wanyu, so how can she not hate it.

The queen pretended to be submissive, and smiled, pretending to be meaningless, and said: "The emperor is considerate, but the matter of Mr. An's bereavement has not yet been investigated. I am afraid that people will not be convinced if he forgives and agrees so lightly."

"It's just that the confinement has been lifted, and the status can be lost for the time being. As for Mrs. An's miscarriage, I just order Dali Temple to investigate it carefully in private, and we must not make any more disturbances to disturb the empress's mother." The emperor waved Starting with the wooden bead string in her hand, she thought for a moment and said: "However, it is not appropriate for her to live in the main hall of Yanxi Palace for the position she promised now. The west side hall of Chengqian Palace is empty, if not, just move it somewhere , when she is promising and reaches the concubine position, it will not be too late to live in the main hall."

How could the empress not understand the deep meaning of the emperor's arrangement?
The lord of Chengqian Palace, Rong Yue and Wanyu have always been on good terms, so this arrangement can protect Wanyu more comprehensively, and he also suppressed Mrs. An's miscarriage on the grounds of not letting the Queen Mother return to Beijing to be sad, so even though Mrs. An was unhappy , because of the empress dowager's face, she is not easy to get angry.

Thinking of Concubine Hui's painstaking efforts to bring down Wanyu, and now she is about to skyrocket in just one month, the empress immediately withdrew the smile on her face, and argued: "The emperor's move is inappropriate, the restraint cannot be solved, it means moving the palace." A criminal woman is not fit to live in the East and West Sixth Palaces, the concubine has sent her to the 'Green Cloud Pavilion' just now, when the Queen Mother returns to the palace, the concubine will choose other crimes to explain this matter to the Queen Mother."

The emperor waved his hand resolutely, and cut off the queen's exhortation: "Queen, I have made up my mind. You are so harsh on Wannai because she comes from the Niu Hulu family. Let's see you hang her cat to death in the dead. In front of her, acting so ruthlessly, how can there be half of the maternity and tolerance that an empress should have?"

The queen's eyes were slightly red, and she said sadly: "The concubine is all about the emperor's honor, but she doesn't want to be misunderstood by the emperor. There is no one in the later dynasty who can check and balance his arrogance. Now in the harem, the Niu Hulu sisters are acting more and more surly, and the concubines have to guard against it."

Hearing the empress's sad words, the emperor couldn't help feeling soft, and said in a gentle tone: "The empress is so devoted to me, I am touched in my heart. I believe that the empress's insight is not ignorant of whether Mrs. An's miscarriage is deliberately framed by others. Yide and Wannai doesn't have such dirty thoughts, and besides, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, so the empress shouldn't worry about that much."

The queen made some remarks about the state affairs, and only after she said the words did she realize that she was confused.

She was depressed, with tears still in her eyes, and said slowly: "The concubine understands that the emperor is the only support for the concubine, and those who are wives dare not disobey what the husband said, so they ordered the emperor's will to Xiaoyu Liugong, Accept Wan and agree to enter Chengqian Palace."

The emperor nodded slightly, stretched out his hand to wipe away the empress's fragrant tears, and comforted him: "No matter how many delicate flowers there are in the harem, the only peony in the first grade is the empress." The emperor stared at the empress, called her maiden name and said: "Shu Lai , your position in my heart is unmatched by others. Chengrui was poisoned, and the second prince passed away before he was born. I can't help the grief in my heart. After this disaster, you know my heart, and I look forward to being born with you as soon as possible Do we belong to each other's sons?"

The affectionate words of the emperor's words made the empress's heart itch, more like a ray of warm sun in winter shooting on the ice alone, the empress's cheeks were slightly red, she smiled through tears, and said in a low voice: "The concubine and the emperor's husband and wife are one, so they know the emperor's friendship. The emperor can rest assured that the concubine will definitely give birth to a white and fat prince for you in the future, belonging to our son."

Kang Fushou rushed to Yanxi Palace and opened the palace gates. The decree of moving the palace to the "Green Cloud Pavilion" had not been handed down, but was intercepted by a holy edict from Liang Jiugong.

"The emperor ordained that Niu Hulu's self-restraint and restoration of rituals during the confinement period would be without any complaints, and he specially ordered to lift the ban on the Yanxi Palace. From now on, he will move into the west side hall of Chengqian Palace, with the concubine Xian as the main seat, and he will follow the rules in the future. Remember today's lesson, Qin Zai."

Kang Fushou knelt on the ground to listen to the decree with a face of embarrassment, seeing Wanyu's usual expression, she only brought her maid Yun Chan to kowtow respectfully and replied: "My concubine kowtows to thank the Holy Grace."

Liang Jiugong asked Wanyu to calm down quickly, and said that the emperor's decree was personally ordered, and the empress's decree needed Xiaoyu Liugong, so he took Kang Fushou and left with him to deliver the decree to Liugong.

Yunchan supported Wanyu to get up, and said joyfully: "Congratulations, my lord, the emperor misses you, and even granted you to live with concubine Xian, what a happy event."

joy?She should be happy.

Wan Lai smiled faintly, looking at the view of the courtyard outside the door.

The sun was not shining in January, but the courtyard was still covered with snow, but the acacia tree seemed to be unable to withstand the pressure of the snow, and the bare branches that were already bustling were broken a lot.

The sun was shining on her face like gold, Wanyu gently raised her hand to block the sun, turned her head and re-entered the hall without saying a word.
