Qing Palace - Biography of Concubine Wan

Chapter 61 The Chaos of the Palace (2)

The appointment of the crown prince intensified not only the conflicts between the emperor's courtiers in the court's political opinions, but also the conflict between the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Fulin.

It's a pity that Xiaozhuang's Xiaoyi was righteous, and analyzing the benefits and disadvantages could not make Fulin change his mind. Xiaozhuang decided to go to the Royal South Garden in the suburbs of Beijing to spend the winter in a fit of anger. He didn't even say when he would come back. It was already the third day of November. ...

On the one hand, Xiaozhuang didn't want to argue with Fulin anymore, and on the other hand, he also provided convenience for some people's actions. Xiaozhuang, who had vaguely detected a trace, not only did not object to this, but even agreed with it.

Everyone knows that the appointment of the crown prince this time is just a prelude, and then Fulin is very likely to use Dong E Xianglan as the crown prince's biological mother to help Dong Exianglan to the throne of the queen, so this will inevitably abolish the empress again!How could this kind of thing be allowed to happen behind the Borzigit family, so she took an attitude of letting it go!

The Queen Mother's Luan Jia left the Forbidden City in such a mighty way, and her favorite grandson Xuan Ye also left with her. With her departure, a war without gunpowder officially kicked off, and the cruelty of the harem And the performance of preparation to the extreme, and the saddest thing is that there is no winner in this war!
Although Xiao Zhuang was disappointed by her son's performance, she, who was well versed in the harem, reminded him before leaving: The harem and politics have always been tied to each other. If you don't want to ban the crown prince, then you can Seal the harem to stabilize the harem and the political situation!

When Xiaozhuang said these words, she frowned and closed her eyes from time to time. She didn't even want to see her only son, because she was afraid that she couldn't help but slap him a few times and wake up this wayward son severely.

Maybe it was because she felt that she had disobeyed her too much, or maybe she thought it was unreasonable. In short, Fulin adopted this suggestion and ordered the Ministry of Rites to formulate the words and etiquette, and set the date of November 22, the auspicious day, to seal the harem!

Concubine Tong Jia of Xianfu Palace of Jin Dynasty, concubine Tong Jia, conferred the gold book and gold treasure as Concubine Tong!In addition, Jin San's elder brother Aixinjueluo Xuanye is the son!
Borjijite, the concubine of Jin Changchun Palace, was concubine Shu, and was awarded the gold book and gold treasure!
Dong E, the concubine of Ning in Yongshou Palace of Jin Dynasty, was concubine Ning, awarded the gold book and gold seal!In addition, the second elder brother Aixinjueluo Fuquan is a shellfish!
The Jinzhen concubine, Dong E, is the Zhengui concubine, awarded the gold book and gold seal, and occupies the throne of Yikun Palace!
Jin Ke concubine Shi's family is Ke Gui concubine, awarded the gold book and gold seal, and occupies the throne of Jingren Palace!

The Guerjia family, a nobleman from Jin Dynasty, is a concubine, bestowed with a title, and recorded in the golden book!

Jinze nobleman Hou Jia's family is a concubine, bestowed a title, and the name is recorded in the golden book!

In addition to the status of concubines in Jin Dynasty, Fulin also rewarded their families to varying degrees.Rixi, because the concubine's time was not enough to convince the public, so she was not promoted again in this big seal. It is worth mentioning that Concubine Jing, although Fulin did not promote her to any position, ordered her to be restored. It is equivalent to the treatment of a queen, but she can't make up for her already incomplete life!
The seven concubines received their respective red lacquer dragon and phoenix decoration bookcases prepared by the Ministry of Rites, and then offered sacrifices in front of the Taimiao, and finally paid homage to the emperor and empress.

The night of Licheng was naturally full of excitement, during which all the concubines acted happy in front of the emperor, no matter if they were sincere or not, everyone looked so beautiful in this fragrant wind and flowers, at least on the surface the harem was still calm , a school of peace!
On the seventh day of December, Prince Rong is already two months old. What is surprising is that he has no expression until now. Even when he is crying or laughing, he looks a little blank, without any aura. Besides, no matter how much he teases him, he has no expression Reflected, but the saliva often flows everywhere, like an idiot!
This news was blocked by Fulin, but before the imperial physician could find out anything, something happened. The queen mother who spent the winter in the Royal South Garden suddenly fell ill, and ordered her concubine to go to bed.

Although Dong E Xianglan had just given birth to a child not long ago, she also received the Queen Mother's order. She, who is famous for her virtue, would definitely answer the call, and after she left, under the Zhengbai banner led by the Queen Mother, she must "" Walking left and right, it is no different from a maid, who serves day and night, and sleeps and eats for nothing."

For a delicate woman in the harem who has just passed the puerperium, it is self-evident what the consequences of spending such a winter in the cold wind and cold blood will be!

On the other hand, after the joint diagnosis of the imperial physicians, it was unanimously concluded that Prince Rong was congenitally mentally retarded, and his brain was injured when he was in the mother's womb, so his brain was underdeveloped after birth, and he will look like a fool in the future!

This result is like thunder on the ground for Fulin who has great expectations, and there are times when the emperor is powerless!He knew that once the news got out, the canonization ceremony scheduled for the first month would be impossible anyway, so on the one hand, he issued a password order to the imperial doctor, and on the other hand, he asked them to heal the doctor before Prince Rong grew up to be sensible. Dementia!

As for the canonization ceremony - as usual!
Undoubtedly, Fulin's will is difficult for the strong, but the king has to obey, and the imperial physicians can only agree with a bitter face, but it is a pity that Fulin's all kinds of painstaking efforts have harmed this idiot. Nothing will happen later!It's really not as good as man's calculation!
The absence and illness of the Empress Dowager, as well as the canonization of the crown prince who was estranged from Germany soon, made the 15-year Spring Festival pass insipidly, with sparse firecrackers and false politeness, so it was over.On the contrary, it was the [-]th day of the first lunar month, and the ceremony for the crown prince's appointment after the Lantern Festival was grand and solemn under Fulin's deliberate arrangement!
But only seven days later, on the 24th of the first lunar month, when the empress dowager was still ill and Dong Exianglan hadn't come back to see her son after being parted for more than a month, the unnamed Prince Rong was in the deep and secret Forbidden City Died for unknown reasons.This little life who brought Fulin and Dong E Xianglan endless joy and sustenance, lived only [-] days after all the calculations, and his death brought his parents into the abyss of pain!

Aside from his grief, Fulin still remembered to hide this incident from Dong Exianglan. He knew that this incident would bring her more pain than himself.However, almost on the day that Prince Rong died, Dong E Xianglan, who was far away in Nanyuan, learned of the news of his son's death under the arrangement of someone with a heart.

She was originally in poor health and finally fell ill under this huge mental blow. After such a big incident, Xiaozhuang also decided to move back to the palace. The bumpy journey made Dong Exianglan's condition worse again. When she saw the emperor, she couldn't stand up anymore, so she could only lie on a soft sedan chair to attend her son's funeral!
After the investigation was fruitless, Fulin finally gave up looking for the cause of the fourth son's death, but he still executed the nanny, eunuch and others who were in charge of taking care of the fourth son!And posthumously named his heir who died young as Prince He Shuorong, specializing in mausoleums!
In contrast to Concubine Dong E in the matter of the Queen Mother's illness, the queen did not go to Nanyuan to see her aunt at all, and the queen mother just refused to let her come to the Compassion Palace for "punishment".It is conceivable that this incident is likely to be the strategy of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang!

The angry Fulin then vented his anger and the pain of losing a child to the empress, accusing her of "short of etiquette" when the empress dowager was ill, and "should enter the palace to make a note of death", and was ready to abolish the empress again!
After Dong E Xianglan, who was still on the sick bed, knew about this incident, she was terrified of what might happen next, and immediately remonstrated with the emperor to dissuade him from abolishing the empress. Facts proved that Dong E Xianglan was wise, and only one month later , the empress dowager ordered to restore all the queen's treatment.

However, the bad things didn't end after the death of Prince Rong. In the second month of the first year, the mourning concubine who was used to kill Prince Rong was in a state of anxiety all day after her death, fearing that the emperor would find out In the end, he hanged himself in the bedroom because he couldn't bear the days of fear and fear.

Fulin, who lost his mood due to the early death of his beloved son, did not investigate the cause of her death in detail, but buried her as soon as possible. For him, the death of a concubine he didn't like was nothing to him. Life in the harem has always been so cruel , Life is expensive and life is cheap, and neither can escape the barrier of life and death.

But Fulin, do you know that soon, your most beloved imperial concubine will also leave you, leaving you alone in this world to miss, because... this is God's punishment for you, do you know... ...do you know...

Chonghua Palace

Qingru, who was wearing white pajamas, sat in a chair and listened carefully to Zijin's talk about what happened outside, and now she can only rely on this to get the news.

Heh... Has anyone died again?It seems that the recent situation is really not peaceful, Qingru casually flipped through the military books in her hands, after self-imposed, she put away all the original Buddhist classics, and the dust disappeared all over the books.Now on her desk are a series of military books and history books, as well as various books of strategy.

It is said that the nine-time balm was used by Zhao Hede, the favorite concubine of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, to maintain her hair after bathing. After use, it not only moisturizes the hair, but also emits a faint orchid fragrance.

The raw materials of the nine times balm are quite difficult for Qingru now. Many things are not only precious but also must be in season, so Qingru simplified the original complicated formula a lot, but it still took her more than a month to figure it out. Complete.

As soon as this Xiangzi finished reporting today's events, that Xiang Mianyi came in with the prepared nine-time balm. The ointment was contained in a black bowl, and it was white in color, as thin as nothing.

Mianyi first put a layer of green gauze on Qingru's back, separated the clothes from her hair, and then evenly and carefully spread the ointment on her hair.

Clear as if he rubbed his hair with balm, the fragrance immediately spread from the fingers to the nose, and the faint smile spread from the eyebrows to the lips. The cold palace is the easiest to make people old, but she must not be old. , she wants to step out of this prison that imprisons her with the most beautiful face recently!
