The Harem of the Qing Dynasty - the next era

"Why did you come here!" Han Ling looked at the dusty Yong Jue, she couldn't help being surprised, "Who escorted you back?"

If the emperor sent someone to Yunnan to report the news immediately after the assassination, based on the time and distance, Yong Jue could come from Yunnan to Jiangsu so quickly, and it is definitely not an exaggeration to describe it as non-stop.

"My son is doing well!" Yong Jue let out a long sigh of relief, "Knowing that Ama Erniang is safe and sound, my son is completely relieved."

"I'm fine!" Han Ling ordered the palace staff urgently, "Tell the imperial doctor to bring the simmering ginseng soup to Lao Jiu."

Yong Jue hurriedly said: "Emiang, my son is really fine."

Han Ling chased people away on the spot: "I've had my pulse checked, go take a bath first, I'll let them prepare meals, and we'll talk about it after you've eaten and slept!"

Yong Jue agreed with a smile: "Son, I would like to obey Er Niang Yi's order."

After inquiring behind his son's back, Yong Jue actually rushed to Suzhou today after running all the way to the death of four horses. After eating and drinking, he went back to the inner court from the imperial court to pay his respects. Parents of Fa Skin Shou, you don't know how to cherish yourself like this, have you ever taken me to heart?"

Yong Jue giggled, "Emiang, you underestimate my son, he is stronger than a tiger."

Han Ling shook her head: "What did the emperor say?"

"Ama expects his son to be a peacemaker!" Yong Jue suppressed his smile, "Emiang, you are still angry with Ama!"

"Speak out!" Han Ling squinted her eyes, "Yongjue, your mother-in-law was originally just a member of a fifth-rank official family under the Eight Banners Hanging Tail and Xianglan Banner, because the family had some relationship with Empress Xiao Qixian, and it happened by chance. Entered into the eyes and ears of the first emperor, won the emperor's grace many times, because of the favor of the Jiaofang, you are the honor of the mother of the country, the Huifanara family has two males, the son is the master, and there is a princess, what a great grace, do you think I If there is a grievance, it means that you regard me as your Ama's wife, if you regard me as a servant of the Aixinjueluo family, you probably won't think so."

These words somewhat impacted Yong Jue's three views: "Emiang—"

"You, apart from the difficult birth and the smooth sailing in the past 20 years, there are no shortcomings." Han Ling sighed slightly, "Look at Qi Wan, who is your first cousin, does she treat you more as a husband or not?" Treat you as your master more?"

Yong Jue was a little uncomfortable: "Emiang, my son said something about you and Ama!"

"Your Ama is already considered rare." Han Ling nodded her forehead, "As the emperor, it is natural to be suspicious. To put it bluntly, I have been in charge of the affairs of the Six Palaces since the tenth year of Qianlong, and I have been in charge of the affairs of the Six Palaces for more than 20 years. Pharmacology, but the emperor has never been on guard against me because of this, husband and wife for more than 30 years, we have been together for thousands of days and nights, if he throws a fish, I should be resentful - that would be too temperamental."

Yong Jue was speechless, and it took a long time before he said: "Ama also canonized your least favorite Concubine Ling as a noble concubine."

"I'm almost fifty years old, do I still have to be jealous like a teenage girl?" Han Ling stood up, "Yong Jue, you have studied, we don't go to court early, Let’s just talk about family history, since Emperor Taizu established his business outside the customs, has there been a concubine who gave birth to four sons and three daughters like Er Niang in the past 150 years?”

"Then—" Yong Jue rolled his eyes, "Emiang, your son has come all the way, don't you prepare a family dinner for him?"

"Go and accompany the emperor tonight. He didn't mention anything about Concubine Rong, but he still cared about it in his heart." Han Ling frowned. You have come here to honor the emperor, your relatives and brothers have been generously rewarded, unexpectedly something like this happened, your fourth brother can’t talk too much, young Yongjing, the sisters are inconvenient to come forward, so you can only explain it to me.”

Yong Jue agreed, and then asked again: "Emiang, my son has seen that bitch a few times, and I don't think there is anything unusual about her, she looks good, why did she suddenly attack Ama?"

Han Ling said: "Concubine Rong used to be Xiaohe Zhuo Mu's wife, because Xiaohe Zhuo Mu had an objection, she was afraid that Rongbi's clan would find out about it, so she divorced her. According to the confession of her clan, Rongbi had a son Later, Xiaohe Zhuomu rebelled, and the people of Rongpin's clan joined him. Because of the lack of chariots and horses, they left Rongpin's son in the chaos. The child was lost in the chaos of war, which left today's troubles."

"So that's how it is!" Yong Jue still had doubts, "Concubine Rong has been in the palace for several years, and she wants to assassinate Ama, doesn't she have many opportunities?"

Han Ling explained: "Concubine Rong was sent to the palace because of her clan, and there was only one condition at that time, that is, to find the whereabouts of her son, and the prince found a letter on Concubine Rong, the handwriting was blurred, and the prince Guess, this should be because Concubine Rong was upset when she received the exact news about her son, so she did something stupid."

Yong Jue said nothing: "I shouldn't have left those scourges in Huibu in the first place, and taught Ama to suffer such an indiscriminate disaster."

Han Ling instructed her son: "The Emperor has already sent Prince He back to the capital to conduct a secret interrogation with the Rongpin clansman together with Yong Qi. These are the news returned by Prince He. When you rush to the imperial court, don't ask any more questions."

"Son knows!" Yong Jue pursed his lips, and said again, "Son, what I mean is that when something like this happens, everyone is in a state of panic. Most of our sisters are here. I can just expose it, I don't know what Er Niang wants?"

Han Ling raised her hand: "I'm tired, you go!"

Yong Jue didn't dare to force him: "My son resigns."

Han Ling was indeed exhausted physically and mentally.

According to the original script, the content of the assassination of Concubine Rong is as follows: the Empress Dowager and Concubine Ling found Concubine Rong's son, and using this as a threat, Concubine Rong was forced to carry out an unsuccessful assassination, pointing all the blame at the Queen and Concubine Ling. For the late Zhaohui, until the last moment, the "truth" was completely exposed, and it was only logical that the empress dowager would lose face and let the noble concubine enter the cold palace.

However, Han Ling must learn the lessons of the case of Concubine Shujia. First, if she is the only beneficiary of this incident, it will be difficult not to arouse everyone's suspicion; second, the timing is wrong. The queen's handwriting is also an act of self-deception.

Based on this, Han Ling decided to cut out the complicated and simplify the script, and revised the script to "Concubine Rong lost her beloved son, so her mind was in turmoil, and she killed her husband and tried to seek the king, and she also took her own life."

Three innocent people were involved in this incident.

One was an old servant who was entrusted by Concubine Rong to secretly find her son. On the surface, he died of old age, infirmity and heart palpitations—of course, he had to die, if this person was found after the treason case Han Ling's busy work is in vain; the second is the "nail" that Han Ling placed next to Rong Bin, she played the same role as Chang Wan in the past, and now she has died for the Lord; the third is Rong Bin herself , For the sake of her son, she has no choice.

The only thing that made Han Ling miscalculate was that Concubine Rong really hated her emperor's husband. Not only did she want to stab Hongli, but she also wanted to take the opportunity to kill the culprit who separated her from her flesh and blood.

There is only one problem worthy of Hanling's headache, and that is how to deal with the "gift" that Zhaohui gave her.

The conversation was divided into two parts, Prince Jia who left Neiyuan did not give up the idea of ​​having a big family banquet.

Before dinner, Princess Heqing and Princess Heyi came to greet each other in person, hoping that Hanling could attend Prince Jia's dust-cleaning family banquet.

As Yongjue wished, the two sisters successfully welcomed the queen to the imperial court.

The family banquet was very simple, only the emperor, empress dowager, Yongxi's family, Yongrong and his wife, Yongjue, Yongjing, Heqing, Yiheming and three princesses were present.

After entering the table, Han Ling asked, "Why don't you see Concubine Ling, Concubine Yu and Concubine Ying?"

Li Yu hurriedly approached: "Return to the words of the mistress, the holy car is about to leave, so the two masters, the master and the concubine Yu Ying, have to check the luggage, so they won't come to receive the banquet tonight."

The truth of the matter is that the real initiator of the family banquet had no intention of letting them come to attend at all.

In the past, during the time of vows and deep love, Hongli also made a covenant not to let the concubines in the harem invade Hanling's name. There is still a shoulder gap between concubine Hui and imperial concubine with her own surname. This practice that has been practiced for many years is really broken until Concubine Ling is conferred the title.

In addition, as early as 20 years ago, Hongli also promised that he would not be fortunate to the court lady Wei at that time. Now that he has broken his oath, as the emperor, he suddenly suffered a disaster, and he inevitably has warning thoughts and fears , rescued from Hanling’s disease again, and suddenly felt [-] points of guilt, avoided mentioning the old saying that the imperial concubine Ling was registered, and often referred to the imperial concubine as "Concubine Ling". The matter is vague (the emperor has issued an imperial edict, but the canonization ceremony has not yet been held), and Hongli has arranged a dinner today, and Hongli himself did not mention summoning the imperial concubine to accompany him to the table, so Li Yu naturally did not dare to talk too much and get angry.

"That's all!" Han Ling didn't delve into it, "Yongjue, you are a junior, the queen mother dotes on you, the emperor loves you, your brothers and sisters accommodate you, and specially arranged a family banquet to cleanse you. I won't tell you the truth, what should I do? Weigh."

Yong Jue saluted in response: "My son dare not disobey Er Niang's teaching."

Hongli said: "Why do you have to worry about it, none of the children you raised is bad."

Han Ling smiled without saying a word.

The empress dowager smoothed things over: "All sit down."

Thirty days after the wine, the Empress Dowager raised the wine cup and said, "Queen, this accident happened, thanks to your hard work to avoid a catastrophe, in the past I blamed me for not knowing people, now I will borrow flowers to present Buddha, and thank you for the wine to cleanse the dust!"

Han Ling even said that she didn't dare, and after thanking the wine, she said: "My daughter-in-law is the lord of the six palaces. I don't know that I have this conspiracy with the Zhuo family. I am really ashamed of the empress dowager's entrustment and the emperor's trust. It is a grace of heaven that the empress dowager is not guilty. Why? Do you have the face to thank you?"

The Empress Dowager immediately said: "The misfortune of Hezhuo is not the fault of the Empress alone; the emperor's health is due to the Empress alone. The merit is too small, so it should be respected."

Han Ling had no choice but to accept it, and after drinking, she rushed in front of the emperor and said: "The Empress Dowager's mother honors the world, thanking the courtiers and daughters-in-law for the society, and the ministers and daughter-in-laws cannot accept it. Today is a family banquet, only talking about family relationships, not talking about merits and demerits. Reveal all of them, please allow the Queen Mother to agree."

Princess Heqing leaned back and said with a smile: "Emperor Niang thinks it's her duty to do it. If Madam Huang wants to thank her for this, she will first compare her to an outsider, and then it will be easy for her to take over the position. Ninth brother will have to be with her." The Empress is acting like a spoiled child and jealous."

The emperor had no choice but to give up, the empress dowager said with a smile: "The fourth girl is more and more clever."

The author has something to say: What the heroine wants to restore is the emperor's trust. With this thing, she will naturally be able to "advance, attack, retreat, and defend" in the future.I will continue to tear up later, after the next round of tearing up, this article will end.Also: Happy Tanabata everyone!
