I can't die

Empress Dowager Cixi and Concubine Li

"Magnolia is like snow and white like frost, and the beautiful woman is like the sunset glow. Yingli's beauty is beautiful, and Ehuang and Nvying serve the king."

This poem was written by Xianfeng to his two favorite concubines, Yehenala Xingzhen and Tatara Jinli.

In the first year of Xianfeng (1851), Yehenara Xingzhen, who was born in the Eight Banners, and Tatara Jinli entered the palace together. At the beginning, because of their stunning appearance, they were quite favored, and the two were named nobles together. , Bestow the titles "Languiren" and "Liguiren". (The nobleman has a very high status, and Zhen Huan's entry into the palace is only a permanent presence.)

That was the most romantic moment in Xianfeng's early years.The young king walked in the courtyard in high spirits.The brightest sunshine in spring fell on the court, and two stunning women stood laughing under the magnolia tree in the imperial garden.The older one has a delicate and beautiful appearance, like a magnolia in Luotian, pink and tender, and the two red clouds on his face are more contrasting, and his skin is as white as frost.The younger one, however, has the softness and serenity of a Jiangnan woman. She doesn't laugh as loudly as the older ones. She only covers her mouth with a handkerchief, and her eyebrows are bent like willow leaves. She has a different kind of charm. .

The relationship between Lan Guiren and Li Guiren was very good when they first entered the palace. This is a well-known fact in the palace. Xianfeng's love for these two is also impartial. Feel.

The two daughters were like sisters, and their status was promoted very quickly. The next year, the second daughter was promoted to the rank of concubine successively, respected as Yi concubine and Li concubine.The enfeoffment ceremony is only one month apart.

It's just that the palace is a big dye house after all, even if the sisters have stayed in the palace for a long time, how many people can always love Jin Jian?What's more, the two are not close.

When did it all start?

Presumably it started when Concubine Li was the first to conceive the eldest daughter of the emperor, right?

In the fifth year of Xianfeng, five years after Xianfeng was in power, Concubine Li was the first to conceive a dragon species. The Queen of the East Palace, Ci'an, was suppressed under the stage.

Such a favor is glory, and of course it is also a life-threatening talisman. Concubine Li is well aware of this, so when she was raising a baby, she almost never left the door. The best place for concubine Yi.

But after all calculations, Concubine Li slipped and fell into the water on the way to visit the concubine Xi in Chuxiu Palace.

It is said that Concubine Li is alive and Concubine Li is eight months pregnant at that time, and the child was not saved after all, and because it is the first child, Concubine Li is already weak. After seeing it, the imperial doctor asserted that Concubine Li might have difficulty giving birth in the future. . (This is my own adaptation. In fact, Li Fei has produced it. Baidu.)

But at this moment, concubine Yi Yehenara Xingzhen was diagnosed to be pregnant with the dragon species. For a while, the public opinion all over the palace vaguely pointed to Chuxiu Palace, and Concubine Li also had a suspicion with Cixi.

In September 1855, Concubine Li walked out of her palace gate for the first time after her miscarriage took care of her body, and then went to Chuxiu Palace.

After the miscarriage, Concubine Li's already frail face was even more sickly at the moment. Even wearing gorgeous palace clothes, it was hard to hide her thinness under the palace clothes. Her snow-white skin was now pale and almost transparent.

When Concubine Li came to the gate of Chuxiu Palace, she got off the sedan chair and locked the door herself.

At that time, only He Rong was popular in Chuxiu Palace, and An Dehai didn't gain much power.He Rong opened the door and saw Concubine Li with a respectful expression on her face, she wanted to go to Lijingxuan to ask Cixi first, but Concubine Li pushed He Rong away by herself, looked at He Rong coldly, and said: " There is no need to report, I can go in by myself."

Although Concubine Li lost her son, she was still very sympathetic to Xianfeng, so the palace people did not dare to underestimate this once popular concubine, not to mention that Concubine Li used to have a good relationship with Cixi. .only. . .

Concubine Li pushed everyone away, and the only son walked through the long corridor under the hot summer sun. When he saw Cixi, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and said, "Sister Lan."

Today's Cixi is also promoted to concubine Yifei because she is pregnant with a dragon seed.Just like the scene where Concubine Li was promoted to concubine at that time reappeared, Chuxiu Palace became the most dazzling existence in the palace.

Cixi heard Concubine Li's words, and only glanced at Concubine Li, and saw that her hand holding the handkerchief was trembling slightly, as if she was quite uncomfortable, as if she was holding on: "You are here, sit down, your body is not good. , just move less. The sun is poisonous outside."

Concubine Li's expression remained unchanged, she stared at Cixi and sat down opposite her.

"Sister Lan is always smart, you think you know what I'm here to ask?"

Cixi is so intelligent, how could she not know what Concubine Li asked, she shook her head and said firmly: "It's not me."

"I know."

Concubine Li seemed to have already guessed Cixi's answer, but she still had a cold expression on her face, and there was a little bit of chill on her usual weak face: "But sister also knew in advance, didn't she? You know exactly what Zhong Cuigong moved. It didn't remind me."

Empress Ci'an lived in Zhongcui Palace.

At that time, Empress Ci'an hadn't given up her desire to have a son. Naturally, she regarded anyone who might occupy the status of elder brother as a thorn in her flesh.Looking at Mangong, the only one who has the ability to act quietly, and even almost blames Chuxiu Palace is the Empress of the Central Palace, Niu Hulu's Ruifen.

Facing Concubine Li's accusation, Cixi fell silent for a moment, did not speak, and the entire Lijingxuan fell silent.

Concubine Li stared at her, and a dazzling expression burst out from her eyes that were as clear as water in the past: "Sister Lan!"

But just after these three words were finished, Concubine Li suddenly fell silent again, her body softened, she leaned on the back of the seat, and sighed: "That's right, this palace is like this."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Li stared at Cixi's abdomen, without saying goodbye, she got up slowly and walked towards the door.Cixi looked at the figure of Concubine Li walking farther and farther, and took a deep breath:

"Jinli!"

"kindness?"

"Congratulations..."

Hearing this, Concubine Li turned around with a sneer, took a finger of the pink hairpin from her head, and threw it on the ground fiercely: "Don't worry, I'm also a mother who lost her child, and I won't do anything to your child." of."

This pink vermilion hairpin fell to the ground and made a crisp sound.

This is a very luxurious jewelry at first glance, with a budding magnolia flower vividly carved with exquisite craftsmanship.

Cixi stared at the pearl hairpin on the ground. After a while, regardless of her own body, she bent down and picked up the pearl hairpin from the ground, then closed her eyes and leaned against the gate.

Jinli, I'm sorry, I'm the one who failed you after all. . .

The author has something to say: This is not in the outline, but I think that a character like Li Fei should be a kind of short-lived beauty.I couldn't help but write.Sorry for the lack of writing skills.
