The Harem of the Qing Dynasty - the next era

The emperor's remedial action was not limited to words.

In addition to "visiting the queen's illness", the imperial envoy delivered four consecutive edicts to return to Beijing.

First, the thirteenth elder brother Yongjing is a descendant of the queen, and he was raised in the imperial concubine's palace since he was a child. The noble concubine Chunyi passed away, and the elder brother mourned for the injury, and the six palaces were all moved. Wang Zhi allocated Yongjing's salary.

Second, Mrs. Cheng'en is sick on the couch, and the Tai Hospital needs to treat her carefully.

Third, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Qin Tianjian selected good sites to build residences for Gu Lun and Princess Ming.

Fourth, Wu De, the former minister of the Ministry of Industry and the governor of the river, was an industrious king. Although he was at fault, the charges were difficult to prove. He thought that he was sincere in his errands, and was demoted two levels, and moved to the governor of Shuntian.

"Got it." After more than a month of conditioning.Han Ling has already recovered seven to eight points of vitality, "You reply to Lord Long Live, everything in this palace is fine, there is nothing wrong with the imperial concubine, the princesses of the palaces, and elder brothers inside and outside. Only Yongjing is young, and this palace is in charge. Still leave him in Jingren Palace so that he can be taken care of nearby."

The eunuch Hu who delivered the decree hit Qian Yingnuo: "The slave has written it down."

In addition to the four decrees related to Jingren Palace, there was another inconspicuous personnel change in the Ministry of Internal Affairs: because Concubine Xiang sued the Ministry of Internal Affairs for poor service, the emperor decreed that Concubine Jia's elder brother, Jin Jian, was transferred from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Yuanwailang was promoted to become a doctor in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

So far, the two sharp knives that Empress Nala relies on to control the six palaces - the Imperial Hospital and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, have been mixed with sand on the bright side.

Han Ling first asked Neli: "Have those two items been stolen?"

Neli replied: "The ones you ordered cannot be related to our family. Except for those who handled them, my brother only took a look at them. I hid them myself, and they are still kept in the Zhuangzi outside Beijing."

Han Ling nodded: "Keep it for now, I have to think about it carefully."

"Yes." Nelifu asked again, "My lord, where is the seventh princess's mansion cheaper to repair?"

Han Ling didn't think about it for a while: "Just be next to Princess Heqing's Mansion."

"Niang Niang." Neli hesitated, "There are rumors outside that you intend to praise Chang Lin."

"It's not that I underestimate myself. Most of these descendants of Ama are middle-class people. The three of you brothers are serious and serious officials. It's no problem to be a second- and third-rank official. Wu De and you can be the master of a palace." The official is coming to an end, the younger generation, even though he was born at the right time, and he has been raised with gold and jade, he is not considered a top-notch figure among the bannermen's children. It is an accident that Du Changlin has him, and no one can underestimate him The Huifa Nala family is a family that has exploded in the new glory." Han Ling squinted her eyes, "Since it is Huifa Nala's background and signature, how can I wrong him as an aunt?"

Nali pursed her lips: "If it matches the Seventh Princess, the elder brother of the Fucha family is more suitable than Changlin."

"I have my own opinion on this matter." Han Ling smiled lightly, "This year's big pick, if you have a good child, naturally let Chang Lin pay attention to it. As for whether you want to kiss or not, you don't need to say anything outside."

"Hey..." Nali faintly felt that his eldest sister had a big game of chess to arrange.

In May, there was a big selection of beautiful women. Except for the marriage emperor's grandson Miande, Mian'en and other clans according to the above, Han Ling only selected one of the beautiful women by name. also.

The emperor seemed to be shying away from responsibility, the holy car left the palace in the first month of the month, and did not return to the capital until mid-June. Not only the empress Da'an, but even Lang Jia's condition had already stabilized.

Although not included in the Southern Tour, the good things have to be selected by Jingren Palace. Needless to say, Princess Hexiao, Yongjing and Yonglu have also received the last reward, and with the filial piety of the accompanying prince, the empress will naturally eat three. Zhuang bet, made a big windfall.

On the first night of returning to the palace, the emperor of course had to stay in the queen's palace. Han Ling never mentioned the previous incident, and Hongli never made fun of himself. It's fun.

On the next day, Hanling took her children to Shoukang Palace to pay her respects. The Empress Dowager said it was hard work, and then smiled and said: "Seeing that you look good, the Ai family can rest assured. Although Yongxi and Yongjue are in front of you, you are worried every day." You are not allowed to return to Beijing to serve your illness, and you have even copied countless Buddhist scriptures."

Han Ling leaned back and smiled, "Empress Dowager Lao remembers that there is really nothing serious about ministers and daughters-in-law, teaching them to run back and forth is against the worries of the Pope and the Empress Dowager all their lives."

The empress dowager nodded: "The palace affairs are heavy, and you are really tired."

Han Ling didn't answer the words: after a face-to-face meeting, the old matter was brought up again. As expected, Concubine Jia worked hard in front of the Empress Dowager.

It can be delayed for a while, but it can't be delayed for a lifetime. When the holy driver moved to the Old Summer Palace, the canonization of the imperial concubine was finally put on the agenda.

Of course, Han Ling supported Concubine Yu's position.

Concubine Yu's family background is superior to Concubine Jia's, but Concubine Yu only agreed when Concubine Jia was promoted to the concubine, so she came from behind. One is because of the queen's favor, and the other is that she has bright children. Something went wrong.

Concubine Jia didn't give up too much, she had two princes by her side, she took the lead among the three concubines in the hidden mansion, and with the support of the empress dowager, she naturally became the most popular contender for the position of concubine.

On the one hand is the mother who should be filial, and on the other is the daughter-in-law who is ashamed. The two of them cannot agree on each other, and there is no suitable third person to choose to teach the embarrassing Emperor Qianlong to propose a compromise plan. Being implicated in the case of the murder of the noble concubine, it is not easy to escape unscathed, how dare she have the thought of fighting for the future?Going forward, if Concubine Yu and Concubine Jia are not killed, Concubine Wan will probably have no chance to touch the imperial concubine's crown and clothes.

Filial piety is indispensable, and shame may not always exist. Concubine Wan saw the way, so she couldn't help advising the queen to take a step back while the emperor was swaying from side to side, so as not to make the empress dowager more and more prestige.

Han Ling thought for a while, and after gritting her teeth, she came up with her own compromise plan: Concubine Yu and Concubine Jia were promoted to noble concubines, Ying concubines and Ling concubines were conferred sequentially, and noble concubines were promoted to concubines.

Among the nobles, Lu Guiren is the oldest in seniority and has the merit of giving birth. According to the order, he and the nobles need to stand behind, but he is the most honored with the nobles' favor. Han Ling's plan is also to cater to her husband.

Hongli was naturally happy, but the Empress Dowager could not agree after all: the ranking of the four concubines, concubine Yu is the first; although the concubine has the merit of giving birth, when it comes to seniority, the concubine Ying is the first among all concubines. What's the difference?

Concubine Jia sneered coldly: "The empress has a good plan! It's all right when I became a concubine. As for today, if I teach Concubine Yu to kill me in order, do I still have the face to stand in the harem and make people laugh at me?"

Yingxiu felt a little anxious: "Look at the meaning of Long Live Lord, it seems to be more inclined to the empress."

Concubine Jia "hummed": "I don't believe it, the queen really didn't leave a trace of her hand?"

The seventeenth day of July is the birthday of the eighth princess. Concubine Xin set up two tables of small banquets. Elder Gege who lived in the garden went to eat. Han Ling was feeling quiet, and Cheng Shuang came in and replied, "Master, Concubine Jia coming."

Han Ling was sitting up: "Tell her to come in."

Concubine Jia saluted and got up, and smiled with Han Ling: "Concubine Xin should be credited, this gives us a day off."

"Who says it's not?" Han Ling motioned for Concubine Jia to take a seat, "There's a lot of noise all day long, and the little ones scream, and it's hot, and I can't stand the excitement. Throw all the tables out."

Concubine Jia smiled and said: "This is also the blessing of the master and empress."

Gossiping with each other for a while, Concubine Jia pointed out a gossip and sent the attendant maid away, and then she got to the point with Han Ling: "I followed Long Live Lord on the south tour earlier, and heard some family-related ethical stories. Today, I have nothing to do and said It is very appropriate to relieve the boredom of the master and empress."

"Oh?" Han Ling's heart skipped a beat, "I would like to hear these stories the most."

Concubine Jia narrated: "There is an old lady in the Wang family in the south of the Yangtze River, who worked hard to raise two sons, and the two sons married two daughters-in-law. The two daughters-in-law each gave birth to a pair of children. The family is very rich. Playing with grandchildren with sweethearts means that you will come later and be blessed."

"Chengshuang." Han Ling narrowed her eyes, "Brew a cup of Liu'an tea brought by Yongxi for Concubine Jia."

Cheng Shuang agreed to go, and then Concubine Jia continued: "The eldest daughter-in-law of the old lady is outstanding in everything, but one thing is that she spoils her children too much. What a big mess."

Han Ling then asked: "What's wrong with you?"

Concubine Jia said: "It's a common practice for grandmas to raise their granddaughters. Naturally, the eldest daughter-in-law can't disobey her, but she has some medical knowledge and even secretly gave her daughter medicine to induce illness. The young lady of their family is fine in front of her mother. When I went to the grandmother's room, I became sick, the old lady felt sorry for her granddaughter, she blamed herself so much, she dared not talk about raising her granddaughter anymore."

Han Ling opened her eyes: "What happened next?"

"Just now the concubine said that the eldest daughter-in-law is good in everything, the nephew of the second room is a flower, the biological parents need to avoid acne, the aunt stays up all night to accompany and take care of her, the younger uncles, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces, all sincerely admire her, But by coincidence, the old lady's second daughter-in-law happened to find out about the inside story of her niece's illness, for reason, of course it can't be ignored, for love, I really find it unbearable, it's a dilemma." Concubine Jia glanced at Han Ling. , "Mother, tell me, can she have a way to have both?"

Han Ling lowered her eyes: "Then what did she do?"

"You never expected it again." Concubine Jia laughed, "This time the daughter-in-law weighed left and right, and came up with a way to defile herself."

Han Ling stroked the corner of her eyebrows: "How do you defile yourself?"

Concubine Jia said: "The second daughter-in-law confessed to her sister-in-law first, and then she extorted an ancestral treasure, because she said to her eldest sister-in-law, 'If you become confused again in the future, my sister-in-law will not be able to cover it up for you.' "

Han Ling asked: "Is there anything that has been said?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, is holy." Concubine Jia smiled slightly, and took out an envelope from her sleeve and put it on the table, "The second daughter-in-law has a lot of scruples, if the report is exposed, it will not only make the family unsafe, but also cause a laughing stock, and bad sister-in-law. If you don't let it go, and your sister-in-law is confused again, you will be charged with unfilial piety. If you act like this, you will tell your sister-in-law, "It's a big mistake for you to plot against your mother-in-law. I know it and don't know it." Reporting and exposing, on the contrary, it is used to blackmail you, and it is also called unfilial. Naturally, you will not dare to speak out to the outside world in the future, and you should stop when you have lost your property. A close and harmonious family'."

"Something interesting!" Han Ling picked up the envelope in her hand, "This can be regarded as a way to get the best of both worlds."

The author has something to say: the lower part starts from chapter 131, if you continue to subdivide it into two parts, the first half will come to an end around chapter 165.Therefore, I can tell you clearly: the climax of climax is coming!
