The Harem of the Qing Dynasty - the next era

"Master, Prince Yi's old Fujin has brought Fujin out of the palace." Dongqing was quite puzzled, "Although Prince Yi's mansion is not as prominent as that of the late emperor, after all, it is still the descendant of the patriarch of the hereditary prince. Once the news leaks out, Wouldn't you have set up a big enemy for our Fifth Elder Brother?"

"Yongqi doesn't need to buy people's hearts." Concubine Yu sighed, "Secretly sealed her mouth, and only said to the outside world that it was cold and slippery. She accidentally fell into the well and rewarded her family with 300 taels of silver." That's it."

Dongqing promised: "Don't worry, master, the slave will do it now."

The harem is connected to the previous dynasty. When the late emperor was there, Prince Yi Yunxiang ranked first among the kings. In this dynasty, after repeated suppressions, the current Prince Yi Hongxiao has retreated to the last place in the prince class. The emperor was obviously hindered by the late emperor's will, so he couldn't easily deprive Prince Yi's mansion of hereditary title. Once he was caught in the pigtails, he probably couldn't get a happy ending.

Returning home, Prince Yi Hongxiao was full of complaints: "Emiang, I don't understand, 46 rebelled, the eldest brother was dismissed from the title of Baylor, and the fourth brother was permanently suspended from his salary. This is not over, the queen has a grudge against our family." Well, the assassins in Jingren Palace were not sent by our family. Back then, the fourth elder brother conferred the title of Prince of the Juezong, and we even gave away the garden bestowed by the late emperor. Couldn’t it be enough to make up for our mistakes? The nobles and confinement also recognized it, why bother—”

"Shut up!" Zhaojia old Fujin scolded angrily, "As a subject, how can you speak resentful words?"

Hong Xiao took a sip of tea, Zi swelled and couldn't speak.

Hong Zhen, who came to pay his respects, suddenly asked: "This happened more than ten years ago, why did the empress suddenly hold grudges?"

Old Fujin sighed: "You go to Prince He's Mansion, it's always like this, we can't have a peaceful life."

During the reign of the first emperor, two sons grew up. The eldest was Prince Bao Hongli, and the youngest was Prince He Hongzhou; It is Ningjun Wang Hongjun, the older generation has a deep brotherhood, and the younger generation will respect brothers and friends on the bright side. Hongjun and Hongzhou are not two years apart. To a certain extent, they are considered to be sympathetic. What a rift.

It should be said that Hongzheng was asking the right person. The empress had feuded with the late emperor for many years, and Prince Yixian, who was the one who made the plan, could not escape the relationship. Among them, there were very few insiders, except for the empress herself, and the prince was the only one left.

Hong Zhou didn't make a fuss: "Fourth brother, this matter has something to do with the former emperor's uncle. As a nephew, I have no room to comment on it. Since you asked, I don't understand it. I always feel sorry for our brother. Love, back then when the emperor was here—"

Hongzhen, who knew the inside story, was speechless for a while: "Fifth brother, even the late emperor can't persuade the empress's mind. As slaves, besides sitting and waiting to die, can we have other ways to let her settle the old grievances?"

"Based on what I know about the empress, she has let go of her grudge against the late emperor, so she shouldn't worry about the past affairs of her uncle—" Hong Zhou frowned and asked, "Didn't you do something that offended the empress? Bar?"

"No way?" Unlike the late Emperor, the Prince Yi's Mansion in the Qianlong Dynasty was quite low-key, especially after Hongxi's rebellion, and the code of conduct for a man with his tail between his legs was even more implemented. How could he jump out and stab the Queen for no reason? eyes and ears?Hong Xiao was a little puzzled, "Emiang, in your opinion, does the empress mean to settle the old score?"

"She wants to settle the old score, so there's no need to wait until now." Zhaojia old Fujin shook his head, "Only the right medicine can be prescribed. Let's all think about whether we have done anything related to the inner court."

After a long while, Prince Yi Fujin reacted slowly: "The first half year was the seventh year of the Empress Xiaojing's sacrifice. Wei Guiren in the palace did a good deed and borrowed our family temple for use—"

Old Fujin stood up suddenly: "Have you agreed?"

Tong Jiashi was a little dumbfounded: "Daughter-in-law doesn't think it's a big deal, even if the emperor knows it, he has to praise our loyalty—"

"Ridiculous!" Lao Fujin almost lost his anger, "You made friends with the harem without authorization, firstly you didn't know about the empress dowagers of the two palaces, and secondly, you didn't ask for instructions from Jingren Palace, so you underestimated the majesty of the middle palace, how could the empress spare us?"

Tong Jiashi directly knelt down: "Er Niang——"

"I have repeatedly warned you that you are not allowed to communicate with courtiers, let alone connect with the harem. Why did you take my words to heart!" Lao Fujin burst into anger, "We don't even have the room to apologize for such things. It's a joy to burn my garden."

Ning Jun Wang Fujin Nala thought for a while, and discussed with his mother-in-law: "Emiang, I'm afraid it's not easy for us to make a face-to-face pleading."

If you specifically plead guilty for this matter, the queen will be suspected of being disrespectful to the empress; if you pretend to be deaf and dumb and leave it alone, what is the difference from ignoring the queen?Zhaojia old Fujin asked, "What's your idea?"

Nalashi didn't think about it for a moment: "Emiang, we can only choose one of the empress and Mrs. Wei."

Hongzhen was speechless for a moment: "Is there still a need to choose?"

"Don't interrupt her!" Zhaojia old Fujin thought, "You mean—"

At the beginning of the 18th year of Qianlong's reign, Empress Nala received congratulatory gifts from her inner and outer wives in Jiaotai Hall.

There is a mother, the empress dowager, who is favored by the emperor's husband, and there are three princes next to her. On the surface, the status of the empress is as solid as gold, and Jigu's wife is quite emotional: From now on, the harem of the Qing Dynasty is finally over. It has been a long-term politics for more than 70 years.

Since the death of Empress Xiaozhaoren, there has never been a mother of the country who is the only one in the imperial court in the Qing Dynasty (Empress Xiaoyiren has only been a queen for half a day, and she has not had time to enjoy the honor of the empress). For more than thirty years; the Empress Dowager Chongyuan had no children. Although Emperor Sejong respected his wife, he finally left room for his wife to speculate on the future emperor mother; The trend of the middle palace has been waiting until now, and finally it has ascended to the throne of the Qing Dynasty like flowers blooming brocade and fire cooking oil.

"Master and Empress!" After all the orders and salutes were over, Prince Yi Fujin came out to play and said, "I have honored the Empress Dowager's decree, and I went to the family temple in the mansion to perform prayer rituals for Empress Xiaojing. Princess Lun Hejing, Princess Gu Lun and Princess Qing, I sincerely ask my master and empress to fulfill you!"

"Huh?" Han Ling frowned and asked, "The Empress Dowager ordered Yi Wangfu to do something, how come this palace has never heard of it?"

Tong Jia's replied: "Wei Guiren's natal family supervised this matter. The slave raised his hand, but it was just used by the temple. Now I think about it. Empress Xiaojing was quite disrespectful. Now I would like to make up for it. I will use the temple of the palace to show my loyalty. Please, master." Empress agrees!"

Han Ling frowned and asked, "Your Majesty Wei, is there such a thing?"

"Master and Empress!" Wei Guiren was caught off guard, "It is a selfish act of this servant to remember the old master by doing things for Empress Xiaojing, and it has never alarmed the empress dowagers of the two palaces and the master's empress!"

"The nobleman is joking!" Tong Jia pretended to be surprised, "Although the palace temple is not as high and sacred as the royal ancestral temple, it is a solemn holy place bestowed by the late emperor after all. It is not allowed by the inner court's orders. How dare the slaves easily agree to the nobleman? Listen to the nobleman now. I mean, not only the master and empress did not understand the inside story, but even the Holy Mother and Empress Dowager—please, master and empress, look into it!"

"Fu Jin is right." Han Ling nodded, "Wei Guiren, what else do you have to say?"

"Your Majesty, even if you have the guts, this slave would not dare to blackmail the palace with a false Chuanyi decree." Wei Guiren realized that if something went wrong, it would immediately become a letter of honor for Prince Yi's palace to express its loyalty to the queen. In a critical moment, you can only make concessions temporarily, and don't teach the queen to use the problem to punish herself, "Mother, although the slave has no intention of overbearing, he has indeed acted overbearing. It was a good thing for the first queen for seven years. It coincides with the joy of Long Live God Tianzhang. Twelve Before the full moon is out, the servant can't disturb the master and wife for such a thing. Originally, he just wanted to choose a secluded place and quietly perform a ritual ceremony for the late queen, which can be regarded as repaying the slave's love for the old queen and the late queen. Because it was in the deep palace, I had to entrust my family to handle it on my behalf, and then Er Niang replied that the place of blessing chosen by the master was close to the family temple of Prince Yi's mansion, and Fujin was willing to borrow it temporarily for the sake of the empress, Fujin said so, thinking about it There must be a misunderstanding, or the slave Ama misrepresented it, which is unknown."

Han Ling said solemnly: "Your Majesty Wei, the emperor has not reduced the sacrifice etiquette of empress Xiaojing, let alone whether you have passed on the decree of the emperor or not, you have not asked the empress dowagers of the two palaces for an decree, and you have not informed the palace in advance. Or Concubine Yu, Concubine Yu, Yi Wang Fujin did not misunderstand, did she teach her to think that within the Sixth Palace is a place where you, a noble person, can make decisions as you please?"

Mrs. Wei had no choice but to salute and plead guilty: "I'm not thinking well, please punish me, master!"

"Abolish the green head card and ban the Chengqian Palace!" Han Ling said lightly, "Today's New Year's Day, if you don't mention such disappointing words, it is a misunderstanding, and you don't need to mention the dedication of the temple. Empress Xiaojing is not only the birth of the two princesses Er Niang is also the aunt of the princes and elder brothers, if the former queens lack enshrinement, can they stay out of the matter?"

What Tong Jia wanted was the word "misunderstanding": "What the master and empress taught me is that the slave was not thoughtful enough, please forgive the slave for the crime of usurping!"

"That's all!" Han Ling pressed her forehead, "While everyone is here, I have two things to tell you. First, the general election is scheduled for March. Everyone, make preparations early to avoid rush and confusion. Second, order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to clean the main halls of Yongshou Palace and Jingyang Palace. The maids and servants are allocated according to their concubines. The noble concubine and concubine Yu assist the palace to host the general election. As for the repair of Yongshou Palace and Jingyang Palace—— Concubine Jia, Concubine Shu, take it easy!"

The noble concubine and the four concubines got up and received the order: "The ministers and concubines respectfully obey the orders of the master and empress!"

The author has something to say: Everyone, please continue to help me think about the problem. There is really no suitable one, so I will just think of one.
