Kangxi Harem Ⅰ: Green Years

Chapter 46 (21) Adding things to the court and gaining the dragon species
[The court is undercurrent again, and a dragon girl is added to the harem;]

[It can be seen that the emperor favors the sky, and Rong'er will finally get the dragon seed again. 】

In the first month of the tenth year of Kangxi, there was an undercurrent in the briefly peaceful court. Geng Jimao, king of Jingnan, turned up and said that the old disease was getting worse. He asked his eldest son Dan Jingzhong to manage his military affairs. It is the third generation of Dan Jingzhong to pass on the throne of Fan in the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, the first Emperor Sejong Shunzhi sent troops south to rule the Central Plains. Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming were all generals of the Ming Dynasty. , with heavy troops, of which Wu Sangui was granted the title of Pingxi King Panju Yunnan, the most powerful. king.San Francisco has great power in the provinces it guards, far exceeding the local officials sent by the local imperial court, and can control the local army, taxes, etc.And Wu Sangui, king of Pingxi, even restrained the admirals and governors of Yun and Guizhou provinces, arbitrarily appointing and dismissing civil and military officials in the areas under his jurisdiction, and the officials he appointed were called "Xixuanguan".At the same time, it consumes millions of taels of military pay a year, and the court has no right to review the financial revenue and expenditure. It also monopolizes the profits from the salt wells and copper mines where it is stationed.They even exchange envoys with the Dalai Lama privately, just like a small imperial court, completely unaffected by the central court.

This time Geng Jimao turned up, and the court first appeared to withdraw the voice of the Tibetans.Mingzhu and other close ministers around the emperor suggested to Xuanye to withdraw the Tibetans, but this topic is extremely sensitive, and Suo'etu and other ministers' intentions need to be discussed in a long-term manner, but it has become a heartache in Xuanye's heart. He understands in his heart , Sanfan does not withdraw, the south is not peaceful.

On the ninth day of March, before the Wanshou Festival, Dong promised to give birth to a princess named Keshu by the emperor. On the second day, Rong Er, Yin Ruolan and Zhang Leqi from Kunning Palace accompanied the queen to visit Zhongcui Palace.Entering Dong Ying's wing room, I saw Yi Ying and Ma Ying, who were newly appointed, accompanying and taking care of her in her room. The three of them were basically promoted at the same time, so they usually walked relatively close.

After saluting each other, the queen asked with concern: "Are the mother and daughter safe?"

Dong promised to lie half-ly on the bed and the queen did not let him salute. Seeing the queen's question, he hurriedly replied: "Go back to the queen, the imperial doctor said that our mother and daughter are fine."

The queen smiled kindly, and said softly: "You have to rest well, if you don't sit well during the confinement period, you will suffer from the root cause of the disease." Then she asked: "Have Concubine Zhao and Huigui come to visit?"

Dong promised to reply quickly: "They all came to see the concubine yesterday."

The queen was chatting with Dong Ying, and Gai Rong'er was watching quietly. Dong Ying accidentally became pregnant with a dragon seed because the emperor was drunk. The emperor once said that he looked at Dong Ying who looked like Rong'er. Look, I have seen Dong Xu, who was still a palace maid at the time, in the emperor's bedroom before, but I have never looked at it carefully. Later, Dong was pregnant with the dragon seed and sealed it. I only saw it a few times in the morning when he greeted the empress dowager. But they didn't take a closer look at it. Looking at it today, it really resembles me a little bit, especially in the eyebrows and eyes.Rong'er sighed helplessly.

And the two newly-appointed Yi Ying and Ma Ying who are standing next to them are considered to be above average in terms of appearance. Think about it, no matter whether it is a draft for a court lady or a draft for a master. Can people with the most beautiful appearance enter the palace? Rong'er doesn't know how to look at them. After all, they don't have much contact with them. They seem to be relatively low-key people. Of course, this judgment also comes from the empress dowager in the morning. When I greet you, if you don't get in touch often, you don't understand.

The Queen agreed to say hello to Yi and Ma, and then led Rong'er and the others out of Dong's promised room. When they went out, the Queen stopped in her tracks and said, "Since we have arrived at Zhongcui Palace today, let's Just go and have a look at Chengqing, Chengqing is taking care of Concubine Zhao, and we usually take care of him less."

Rong'er agreed, and walked to the main hall of Zhongcui Palace with the queen.After entering the gate of the palace, the eunuch at the gate had already shouted: "The empress is down." Knowing the people in the hall.

Rong'er and the others accompanied the Queen into the East Nuan Pavilion, and saw Concubine Zhao and Lady Hui had stood up and waited for Fengjia.After saluting, Concubine Zhao opened her mouth first: "Queen, why did you think of coming to Dongzhu today?"

The queen smiled and said: "I am here to visit Dong Xu, and I will stop by to see Chengqing."

Cheng Qing was being hugged by the nanny who was waiting beside her, the queen took it and hugged her and said with a smile: "Oh, Cheng Qing looks good, Cheng Qing is three months younger than Cheng Hu, but looking at this head, he is even taller than Hu'er." Gao is also heavier than Hu'er, and it seems that Concubine Zhao and Huigui can take care of children better than Bengong.

Concubine Zhao smiled, and said with a bitter face: "My palace is deserted, and there are few people to ask questions, and it is even rare for the emperor to see her once. Qing'er is our only fun, so what if we don't take good care of it?" .”

When the queen heard what Concubine Zhao said, she comforted her, "Sister, don't say that either, the women in our harem all have similar lives."

As soon as the Queen's words came out, everyone in the palace fell silent. Gai Rong'er stood there feeling uncomfortable all over. This feeling was really bad. Queen Renhui never showed any bad looks towards her. , but in this harem, which woman does not look forward to the emperor, the emperor has favored her for so long and she is not pregnant yet, if God really does not allow Rong'er to have a child, the emperor can't always call Rong'er alone, right? , Enough, really enough, she can't and shouldn't dominate the emperor all by herself.

This day the emperor turned over Rong Er's cards again. At night, lying in the emperor's arms, Rong Er chatted with the emperor. She often chatted with the emperor like this. The emperor loved to talk to her about everything, but she was always silent. Listening carefully, she listened to the things that the emperor did for the people and the community, such as repairing rivers and rewarding land reclamation. She was sincerely happy that the emperor was so considerate of the people, and she also deeply felt that the emperor had to worry about such things. as much.

Gai Rong'er also has something to say to the emperor tonight.

"Your Majesty, it's been so long and Rong'er is not pregnant, Rong'er can't always dominate the Emperor." Gai Rong'er said softly.

"Rong'er, what are you talking about, I said before, we will definitely have a second Rui'er." Xuan Ye gently brushed the hair on Rong'er's face and said softly.

"The emperor is water, if the water doesn't take care of the other fish, the fish will die; the emperor is the trunk, if the trunk doesn't give the other branches some nutrients, the other golden branches may not survive." Gai Ronger revealed A mischievous smile said: "Rong'er can't be so selfish, monopolize this water, monopolize this job."

Xuanye sighed heavily, and said quietly: "Longqian lake garden avoids troubles, and waits for the wind and rain to wait for his return." Xuan Ye compared himself with preferring to hide here with Rong'er, just to be less troubled, but Everyone is waiting for him to give wind and rain.

Gai Rong'er smiled and said in a low voice: "It's hard for a king to escape the world when he lives in the court, and I hope that the favor is in the court." Rong'er also said the fact that since the emperor is the king of the court, it is doomed to be impossible to avoid these troubles , and the women in the palace are always looking forward to the emperor's favor.

Xuan Ye smiled, shook his head helplessly and hugged Rong'er into his arms: "Rong'er is right, I cannot avoid my responsibility, whether it is in the court or in the harem."

There are so many poor people in the world, those who can be pityed by God are considered happy, Gai Ronger believes that God still treats her kindly, took her Ruier, and now let her get the dragon species, the emperor is 16 years old Just after Longevity Day, Rong'er was diagnosed with pregnancy. The emperor and Rong'er were very happy, and of course the empress dowager was also very happy. Chengrui's early death often made the old man blame himself. It solved the old man's heart disease together.
