The Harem of the Qing Dynasty - the next era

After weighing it over and over again, she was still not at ease. On the eve of the trip, Han Ling used the effect of pillow wind to put Neli into the list of accompanying drivers.

The so-called tiger is not at home and the monkey is the king. On the surface, the emperor patrols the south of the Yangtze River with the empress dowagers of the two palaces. There are a few concubines who need extra care.

As the concubine of the former emperor, if the son did not sit on the dragon chair, the treatment would depend on the face of the emperor Jili. If the relationship is poor, the treatment will not change (after all, she is a woman of her own father, no matter how she looks at her, she is not pleasing to the eye. On the surface, they cannot be neglected, otherwise they will be suspected of being unfilial); those who have no conflict with the new emperor will generally be promoted one or two ranks in the original position, so as to express the meaning of giving priority to the widow of the late emperor, such as Concubine Yu Concubine Qian and Concubine Qian. In Yongzheng Dynasty, they were Concubine Yu and Concubine Qian. In Qianlong Dynasty, they were upgraded to "Concubine Huang Kao Yu" and "Concubine Huang Kao Qian". The widow who has the best relationship with the new emperor—such as the empress dowager Wen Hui.

Concubine Wen Hui was the imperial concubine in the Kangxi Dynasty. When Emperor Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, she was promoted to "Huang Kao Gui Concubine"; The imperial concubine Shouqi passed away in the eighth year of Qianlong, and the concubine Wen Huigui was promoted to the next level to become the imperial ancestor Wenhui. Words are very different in nature.

Like Concubine Yu and Concubine Qian, as the widows of the first emperor, they were called "Concubine Concubine" verbally out of convenience, but in reality they did not enjoy the treatment of Concubine Concubine. Their official title was "Concubine Huang Kao Yu". , "Concubine Huang Kaoqian", in theory, "Concubine Huang Kaoyu" has to salute when she sees Concubine Xian, and Concubine Wen Hui, who is also the concubine of the former dynasty, does not have such distress. On the birthday of the previous year, the emperor had to bow to her six times. The difference came from the word "tai": the word "tai" was added to the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine, and the status was only below the empress dowager. .

To sum up, the imperial concubine Wen Hui is not a peer imperial concubine who only has the advantage of seniority. Even if she doesn't care about anything and doesn't ask anything, the imperial concubine still has to go to Ningshou Palace every now and then to pay her respects and say hello. Being polite and respectful, going to see Concubine Yu and Concubine Qian every now and then are completely different things!

The emperor's ancestor, the imperial concubine, is not the empress dowager, let alone the empress dowager. The new monarch is polite to you, and it will be enough if you have face. Can you still use this to dictate and interfere in the affairs of the harem?Especially since the current lord of the Sixth Palace is also the mother of the future emperor!The Empress Dowager Wen Hui is not stupid. What the Empress Dowager was when she was there is still the same now. When Han Ling went to pay her respects, she deliberately instructed: "The harem is busy, you just take care of Elder Gege. I am here You don’t need anything, if you need something, you don’t need to come here to say hello.”

Han Ling tried her best to be courteous, and agreed after a little push: she really has a lot of things to do.

It is a pity that the sky did not come true, the first month did not come out, the imperial concubine accidentally caught a cold, the condition was not serious, it was enough for the imperial concubine to be busy for a period of time, running back and forth between Jingren Palace and Ningshou Palace for several days On the way, she was afraid that the imperial concubine's illness would prevent her from explaining to Hongli who was on tour.

Just came back from the Ningshou Palace that day, Han Ling was changing clothes, and the maid of the Chengqian Palace, Hua Xiang, ran out of breath to rescue the soldiers: "Master, Madam, the eighth elder brother shocked our master, Go and have a look."

Han Ling was startled: "What's going on?"

The parents are far away in the south of the Yangtze River, the imperial concubine is busy taking care of the imperial concubine, and the concubine Yu has to assist in the palace affairs. Yongxuan Yongjue, who lacks restraint, is relatively relaxed. After school today, Yongxuan went to the imperial garden for a stroll. The carefree master and servant of Concubine Shu hid behind a rockery and threw a golden pheasant at the head, and almost never scared the unprepared Concubine Shu to the ground. She is now the key protection object of the harem, and the accompanying nuns quickly found her. Arriving at Yongxuan's trail, Concubine Shu clutched her stomach and screamed for pain, Hui Xin didn't dare to be careless, while sending someone to call for the imperial doctor, at the same time taught Bi that she wanted to report to the imperial concubine, when Han Ling arrived, Concubine Shu had already laid down and returned to Cheng The big bed in the Qian Palace.

Han Ling's eyes are not for venting anger, Shu Pin is fine, she can tell with a glance, and then she goes outside the hall to take a look at the eighth elder brother Yong Xuan who is still lying on the ground, and she really feels speechless in her heart: Acting so recklessly, is this still Concubine Jia's son?

Yongxuan's mother-in-law Jin and Yonghe Palace maid Yingxiu rushed over at the first time. They just knelt down to accompany her, but when they saw the head of the family, they hurriedly pleaded guilty on behalf of Yongxuan: "Master and empress are clearly aware that they are all inattentive slaves. The eighth elder brother assaulted the empress concubine Shu, the slave deserves death, I beg the master to punish the empress!"

"Yongxuan—" Hanling let out a long sigh, "It's good for you to teach me how to say you!"

Yongxuan raised his head, lowered his head and stared at the floor tiles and said: "My son is at the discretion of the Queen Mother."

Hui Xin came out of the bedroom, saluted with blessings and replied: "Mistress, our master said that the eighth elder brother was young, so he didn't intend to scare her. Since the dragon fetus is safe, please forgive me for the sake of our master. Eighth brother, go back once."

"That's all!" Han Ling said in her heart: This is just a drink and a peck. Shu Concubine set off fireworks to scare Yongxuan in the early years, but now she almost throws away the golden bump that she has been looking forward to for many years. It is hard for her to hold back this tone. If she insists on punishing Yongxuan, it is really not easy for her as an imperial concubine to deal with the aftermath—there is a Yehenala family standing behind Concubine Shu!

Yongxuan didn't appreciate it: "Mother Huang, your son has made a mistake, you can punish him as you like, and your son will never complain!"

At the time when Yongxuan was frightened by firecrackers and cried at the family banquet in Zhengdan, he fell down with his elder brother who was sick; the brothers organized a group to see a doctor, and others talked to Yonghuang for a long time without any trouble, and when he opened his mouth, he immediately called his elder brother who had lost his The fact that the imperial concubine's family law is strict, and more than a dozen court ladies and eunuchs were punished for this, even so, the whole Liugong still has some "respect" for the eighth elder brother. In this respect, Yong Jue's performance is remarkable. There is a waiter in the palace school who chews Yong Xuan's tongue. After being heard by Yong Jue, he can't help but blow his head off. When Han Ling heard about it, she rewarded him with two sets of new inner-made clothes, which perfectly interpreted the Aixinjueluo family's fine traditional style of "I bully others, and others can't easily forgive a bad word".And the root of all this is still to be blamed on the "mischievous" Concubine Shu, it's hell that Yongxuan can cross this hurdle.

Nanny Jin was bluffing enough: "Master, the eighth elder brother is not sensible, so don't be fussy like him."

"Do you think of yourself as the Ren Xia of the Mohist family? Or as a hero of the forest?" Han Ling frowned. Send it to Jingren Palace 120 times, if you dare to mess around like this in the future, I will punish you for both crimes and report to the emperor to severely punish you!"

Nanny Jin and Ying Xiuxi went out to kowtow to thank: "The master is wise, and the concubine Shu is kind. On behalf of the concubine Jia and the eighth elder brother, I thank the concubine master for your kindness, and concubine Shu Haihan!"

Yong Xuan bit her lip, kowtowed three times to Han Ling, stood up and ran out of the hall without looking back.

"Go and watch him quickly, don't make any more troubles!" Before Jin Nao and Yingxiu woke up, Han Ling suddenly shivered, and left the crowd to chase after him in disregard of manners. go out.

The eighth elder brother ran to the imperial garden in one breath, stared at the Wanchun Pavilion with red eyes, grabbed the edge of the well and crossed his short legs.

"Yongxuan—" Thanks to the fact that the bosses are away from home, Han Ling's attire is much more casual than before. If she wears the bottom of a flower pot, she won't be able to walk ten steps if her feet are sprained. Still, he was exhausted enough to hold half of the concubine's body without teaching half-grown children to plunge into the well water.

Pushing Yongxuan away from a safe distance first, seeing that he was not much higher than the well platform, he calmed down breathlessly, Jin Nanny, Yingxiu and Chengjie, Chengzhi and other court ladies of Jingren also chased after him. When he came up, seeing the scene in front of him, he didn't understand anything, so he knelt down in front of the little master and started crying: "Brother, if you have something good or bad, teach the servants how to explain to the concubine Jia!"

Cheng Jie asked worriedly: "Master, are you alright?"

"I'm fine————" Although Han Ling is a member of the Banner family, she could be called a master of bow and horse in the early years. Now that she has been an imperial concubine for more than ten years, her bones have long since become loose When he got up, his face was as white as a sheet of paper, and he was panting heavily, which shocked the maidservant!

"Thank you, Mistress, for saving my life, thank you, Mistress, for saving my life!" Nanny Jin took Yingxiu and kowtowed like garlic, "The servants will be smashed to pieces to repay the kindness of Mistress, Master!"

Han Ling tremblingly supported Cheng Jie to stand up, walked up to Yong Xuan and gave him a big slap in the face: "Bastard, parents who suffer from body, hair and skin, you dare to spoil yourself like this, did Concubine Jia agree? The emperor agreed." Is it? Did the empress dowager agree?"

"Emperor Mother, my son is an ominous person. Rather than disturbing others while alive, it is better to be clean after death!" Yongxuan woke up a little bit, and his mouth was still strong, "You shouldn't stop my son."

"Eighth brother, you can't have such thoughts anymore. What the mistress said is that if you don't think about yourself, don't you think about empress Jia? If she wants to know what happened today, she doesn't know how sad she will be. " Jin Nai comforted the master and apologized to the imperial concubine, "Master, my elder brother is in trouble, please don't care about him like this! This slave will apologize for you on behalf of my elder brother, please forgive him for what happened. "

Han Ling hadn't recovered her vitality yet, she pressed her chest and said to Cheng Jie, "Go back to Jingren Palace!"
