The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 76

The spring in the Forbidden City was humid and rainy. After the emperor arrived at the Kunning Palace, Tian Gong seemed to be congratulating the emperor and the empress, and it was like a drizzle of rain.

The queen was always afraid of the cold, and Kang Fushou was afraid that the cold air in early spring would hurt her unborn baby, so he moved the charcoal basin early and made two offerings in the bedroom.The charcoal basin was a little further away from the queen's bed, warm but not hot.

Inside the sweet white glaze vase with ancient lotus patterns on the table, there are bunches of delicate and pink early spring flowers, which are like clouds all over the sky, touching people's hearts.

This light pink blooming early spring flower was just folded by Qingyue, and there was still a thin layer of morning dew floating on the petals. The queen took a look and smiled warmly in her heart.

When the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager heard the news, they sent congratulatory gifts one after another.

Kunning Palace was crowded with people, surrounded by several groups of people inside and outside.

There are so many people, it is inevitable that there will be mixed conversations, it was supposed to be congratulations, but it caused people to be bored and headache after listening too much. The emperor didn't want people to disturb the queen's cultivation, so he sent everyone away with a flick of his sleeves, and only took a deep look at Wanyu when he was leaving the palace. , raised a warm smile to her.

The queen saw this move, so it was not easy to endure it immediately.

Crowds of people came out in one file, and the Kunning Palace returned to silence, but the emperor stretched out his hand to wrap the empress's thin shoulders, and said tenderly: "In the past, you were more irritable, and you asked the imperial hospital for a lot of fertility drugs that can help you get pregnant. The soup is always bitter. I watched you pinch your nose and frown and pour it down a few times, and I couldn’t help but feel a little pain in my heart. Now that I’m done, I don’t have to suffer that pain anymore. I always think that I have to reward you with something. Tell me, what’s the matter? Whatever you want, I depend on you."

The queen leaned on the emperor's shoulders, and the embroidery pattern of the five-clawed dragon pattern with golden threads was printed on her face. When she got closer, she felt that the golden threads were rough and stiff, and her cheeks were a little numb: "What's wrong with my concubine?" What can I ask for? Now the dragon heir in the belly is the blessing of the ancestors and the best reward for the concubines. If there is anything else, I only hope that the emperor will have concubines in his heart, not just between the emperor and the empress. Respect each other like guests, even more affectionate as a husband and wife in an ordinary family."

The emperor was silent for a moment, stroked the queen's temples lightly, pressed her forehead closer to him, and whispered after a light kiss: "Shuyu's words are despicable, you are my first wife , is the empress of the Qing Dynasty, how can I not have you in my heart? I respect you, love you and pity you even more, if I give birth to a prince in the future, I still prefer our child for the position of prince."

The emperor's words were like a light feather brushing against the softest part of her heart, the empress was startled for a moment, raised her eyes and looked at him with a smile on her face, and said, "My concubine has such a beloved emperor, I will have no regrets in this life."

The emperor smiled and said, "It's unlucky for you to say such a happy thing like parting." He rubbed the queen's belly pityingly, and then sighed: "It's not that I was a father at the beginning, but somehow, I heard that Hearing that you are pregnant, I always feel uneasy, so it hangs in my throat."

The queen sneered at the emperor, whose expression and behavior became more and more like a child guarding a favorite plaything, and then let out a long sigh of relief, and folded her hands on the emperor's hand: "You don't have to worry about the emperor, the concubine will definitely give birth to a white and fat baby for you." Prince."

"I remember that when you first entered the palace, you often called me by my name. Now that your identity in the middle palace has been suppressed for a long time, even when you get along in private, you always call me the emperor." It was nostalgic, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth and said: "Isn't it true that I am the queen, the queen is calling all day long, and I haven't called your boudoir name for a long time."

"Xuan Ye." The queen called shyly, and immediately buried her head on the emperor's solid chest: "You and I have never changed our original intentions. In the future, when you give birth to Lin'er, the concubines will do their best to take care of the affairs of the harem for you. You have no worries in the future."

The two sat close to each other for a long time, and the queen not only sighed in her heart, she hadn't been in such a quiet place with the emperor for a long time.

In the past, when Wanyan was not in the palace, no matter how much he favored the concubines next to him, he always had to worry about her status as the main wife in the palace, but now?
Even on New Year's Eve, he could get drunk, leaving her alone and going to Wannai's place with an excuse.

I thought that the empress dowager reprimanded the emperor to be restrained, but this happened to Hui Concubine again. It can be seen that the emperor really moved his heart to Wan Lai.

If it wasn't for the timely arrival of the child in her womb, what would happen to her in the future?

But in the final analysis, her suppression of Wanyu and Concubine Yi was not out of women's jealousy. If it was because of this, the nobles in the past were arrogant and arrogant to her, she could find a reason to get rid of her.

However, she can tolerate the nobles, but she is afraid of Wanyu and Yifei, because their family backgrounds are enough to threaten the emperor's status in the previous dynasty.

The queen was born in the Hesheli family of the Three Banners, and her entry into the palace was not only to continue the family's glory, but also a responsibility.

A duty entrusted to her by her grandfather Sony, asking her to support the emperor to consolidate the imperial power.

When Kangxi was drafted at the beginning of the fourth year, the four auxiliary ministers, except Suke Saha, who had no daughters, all three of them offered their female relatives to the emperor.

The empress dowager was afraid of Oboi, and made a plan to make his daughter eat the wrong food and have diarrhea, causing her to miss the time of the draft and lose the election.

Ye Bilong's eldest daughter, Yide, was elected to the palace at the same time as her, but Ye Bilong's attachment to Oboi was feared by the Empress Dowager, so the Empress Dowager reached a contract with Sony in private: the Hesheli family can produce the Queen of the Qing Dynasty, but this Queen, I have to do something for her that is inconvenient for her.

It is the honor of the whole clan that the women in the family are precious to be in the middle palace. What a smart person Sony is, he immediately understood what the empress dowager meant.

What the Empress Dowager fears is nothing more than worrying that Ye Bilong's daughter Yide and Ao Bai will recognize their marriage. If they give birth to the royal blood in the future, if Ao Bai makes a wrong decision, it is very likely that he will coerce the emperor to make the princes.

So Sony often confessed to the queen, asking her to try her best to make Concubine Yi not be favored, let alone give birth to an heir.

Before his death, he entrusted the empress to obey the empress dowager's will in everything, and only by relying on her can the glory of the Hesheli family be continued.

After Sony's death, the empress and the empress dowager became more closely connected. Many things were not convenient for the empress dowager to do, so the empress would do them on her behalf. She was also helpless.

The sound of the rain falling outside the house was clear and pleasant, and the warm sunlight pouring into the hall was flickering up and down. The queen looked at the shadow floating on the gauze curtain, and said softly: "The emperor has often turned to Concubine Hui's sign these few days, but he doesn't sleep at night. In Qianqing Palace, where in the palace is it so fresh that the emperor goes there every night?"

The emperor was a little embarrassed, and asked in a deep voice: "You know?"

The queen nodded: "When concubine Hui came to look for my concubine, she was crying like a pear blossom and raining. She wished to let the whole palace know about it. When this matter broke out, there would always be resentment in the harem. The concubine could only press this button out of concern for the emperor's face." However, Concubine Xian and Concubine Wan promised that they really should not flatter Concubine Hui, so the concubine punished her for copying some famous sayings from the previous court, which was regarded as a little punishment, and also to comfort Concubine Hui's grief."

The emperor knew that he was being unreasonable, and he did not reply to the queen's words, but just listened quietly.

The queen breathed a sigh of relief, pondered for a moment before saying: "It's not unusual for the emperor's holy will to change for a while. It's just that the emperor, the queen mother wants you to get closer to the Hui concubine, and don't neglect the Mongolian concubine. If you want to make the queen mother Now that I know, I'm afraid I will hurt the relationship between mother and child."
