Chapter 2 Arriving on the Snow

In November of the first year of Yongzheng, the news of adding a draft girl covered every corner of the capital along with the light snow in early winter.

On the night when the emperor promulgated the decree, he ordered Su Peisheng to keep those people who came to him in the name of delivering bird's nests and cakes out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, even embarrassing the empress and concubine Hua.But after all, the empress dowager couldn't stop her, so Yinzhen had no choice but to put on a show to appease the empress dowager a little.

Yinzhen cleverly borrowed the Qin Tianjian's excerpts to make an article, claiming that the astronomical phenomenon indicates that the selection of eight people to enter the palace in summer is an ominous number, which is not good for the emperor's heirs. In this situation, the emperor was reluctant to accept it.

When the Empress Dowager heard that the matter was related to the emperor's heir, she dared not take it lightly, so she would rather believe it or not, so she put away the words that had come to her lips to persuade the emperor.It only hints that the emperor's additional election should not be extravagant and high-profile, just choose a few people to break the situation. If the emperor is dissatisfied with the newcomers in the harem, he can hold a small election in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the next spring to fill the harem.

Yinzhen slandered in his heart, when did I do something extravagant, but the affection for the empress dowager is still useful.So I also gave the Empress Dowager enough face, and under the urging of the Empress Dowager, I went to the harem for a walk every now and then, which can be regarded as calming down the undercurrents of the young masters of the harem.

However, the Ministry of Finance, who presides over the draft, is really worried. Most of the girls in the Eight Banners who were not drafted this summer have now married separately, which is a huge shortage of people.When the news was presented to the emperor's royal case, Yinzhen was very reasonable and ordered those girls from the Eight Banners who had promised to get married and those girls over 16 years old who had failed to run for the election again. Fill in.

So within a month, the primary election was over, and the household department quickly handed over the roster.Yinzhen is very satisfied with the candidates in the roster, most of them are the daughters of some declining families or remote small official families.Most of those families with a little foundation retreated bravely because of the emperor's lenient decree. Whether these families cherished their daughters, couldn't help the face of losing the election twice, or got hints from the families behind some concubines, anyway, the emperor was always Glad they all left.Yinzhen felt that these small families with good pedigrees were the best able to raise gentle and handsome daughters, after all, they depended on their future husband's family to shine again.Moreover, even if the daughter of such a family is favored, she will not be able to shake the intertwined pattern of the front court and the harem for the time being, which saves the emperor a lot of worry.

For this reason, the emperor planned early on the date of his highness' selection and citation, intending to complete the matter before the new year.As a result, the capital city in the middle of winter once again ushered in the noble daughter of the Eight Banners who came in winter.

------------

The road from the western suburbs of the capital to the Forbidden City was extremely long, and at nightfall the official roads were even less crowded. A mule cart was hurriedly driven into the city gate by five or six followers.There are red double lights on the car, and the words "Guarjia Family with Yellow Banner" are beside it.After the mule cart entered the city, it seemed that it didn't dare to delay for a moment. It went straight to Di'anmen, and there were already many carriages lined up in the order of Manmeng and Han, and they went straight to Shenwumen, waiting for the palace. The door opens.

To say that the rank of the Guerjia family is not low. His family’s master is the fourth-generation Sun Hade of Su Wan Guerjia Fei Yingdong, the founding hero of the early Qing Dynasty. Great, but died of a sudden illness in the harsh winter a year later, leaving only his wife and five-year-old Da Gege. Although he had adopted a son, he failed to survive and died. Heirs can hope.

And this Guerjia orphan named Wenqing is sitting in the mule cart at this moment, and this year has just passed Jiji.Due to the meager assets of the family, the mother and daughter sold their mansion in the city a few years ago and moved to Zhuangzi in the western suburbs, living a simple life.He wanted to rely on the general election to fight for a good place, but this summer, the Guarja family was seriously ill and missed the triennial general election.It's a pity to say that the orphan and widow were looking forward to the good news of the election, so the Guerjia family who was recovering from illness put all their eggs in one basket and practiced physical etiquette diligently. For the first time, he entered the hall selection list.

But at this moment, the leading eunuchs didn't pay attention to this house at all, they didn't arrange a decent warm place for his house in the middle of the night in the middle of winter, they just asked people to sit in the sedan chair and wait.

The maid Biyun standing by the side of the sedan chair was shaking like chaff from the cold at this moment, her face felt numb.The little girl is not very old, and she only thinks about Ge Ge in the sedan chair who has just recovered from a serious illness. Every time she wants to lift the curtain to take a look, she is stopped by the woman beside her.This Granny Liu was invited by his wife, Zhao Jia, to teach his daughter court etiquette with all the money in the family. This month, she has been by Guar Jia's side. Although she has done her duty, she has no feelings at all. Li Shu didn't care about Ge Ge's body, so he poked Bi Yun with his eyes, signaling her not to move at will.The little maid could only continue to stand there facing the cold wind with aggrieved and worried Baba.

After the third watch, when Biyun was in a daze, he suddenly heard an exclamation in the car, although the sound was not loud, it could be heard really at night.

Biyun and Granny Liu didn't care too much, and hurried to visit in the car, and the eunuch in charge who was still dozing off next to him had already heard the sound and came this way.

Biyun opened the curtain and saw Guarjia's pale face, if it wasn't for the slightly trembling hand that was covering her forehead at the moment, she would have almost rushed to cry bitterly, she thought for a moment that his family Gege had died. On this cold winter night, the fragrance disappears and the jade dies.Fortunately, Granny Liu was dragging the little maid, so the situation didn't make a big fuss, but the eunuch who had already walked up to him asked, pinching his throat, "Oh, what's the matter?"

Granny Liu hurriedly leaned over and smiled apologetically, "It's not that the little girl's hands and feet were frizzy and hit the mule cart, and the movement of the mule surprised Ge Ge."

The eunuch quickly lowered his head and took a look inside the car. Naturally, he could see that Ge Ge was probably too cold. He thought to himself that he was finally going to face the saint, so he couldn't make a mistake here, so he asked someone to add a few pots of fire to come over. .

After seeing the three of them, the Guerjia family in the car slowly put down their hands, tightened the hand stove on their laps, and said slowly with a faint smile, "I'm sorry to trouble you, father-in-law. It's all right."

The eunuch sent to the gate of the palace to watch the night is naturally not a big role. Seeing the lady in the sedan chair being very polite to him, he thought to himself that this is really someone who wants to see the emperor, even the girl from this poor family is very noble, so she went He backed away with an apologetic smile.

And this woman who is sitting in the sedan chair is still the Wen Qing of the Guerjia family just now. After the bumpy journey and the hunger and cold in the middle of the night, this frail Miss Jiao has no idea where her fragrance is. The people here have completely changed their minds, and the soul inside is none other than the eighth elder brother of the holy grandfather, Aixinjueluo Yinhu, Prince Lian of the Yongzheng Dynasty.

Just now when he was dizzy and opened his eyes in a daze, Yinhu lost his mind for such a short period of time. This cold and narrow sedan chair was not much better than the clan mansion where he was.He even thought that someone had smuggled him out, so he remained silent for a while, trying his best to listen to the movement around him.It's just that when he lowered his head slightly, he saw a pair of slender little hands of a woman holding the stove, and he was wearing a solid ankle-length women's flag dress.It was unstoppable to exclaim, but the sound made Yinhu stand still on the spot. He subconsciously pressed his smooth neck with one hand, and stroked his headache-ridden forehead with a trembling hand. He couldn't believe the tenderness and lightness just now The thin voice came from within himself.

When the car curtain was raised, the three people who came into view one after another kept reminding Yinhu that something was wrong up and down here, and there must be no traces of it.So Yinhu pretended to be natural and looked out through the raised curtain, almost breaking out in a cold sweat. Isn't the red wall lit by torches in the distance the Forbidden City, and the three words on the gate are exactly " Shenwumen".

This is by no means someone rescued him, Yinhu concluded in an instant what he had just imagined.But why is he dressed like a woman, and even has an Adam's apple in his voice...

After all, this is Yinhu, the eight virtuous king who has experienced nine dragons and four years of Yongzheng Dynasty. He can still smile naturally when his mind is ups and downs in the turbulent waves, and he can dress up the eunuch in front of him with a light sentence. The characters were sent away.And the other two women, one old and one young, looked quite similar to their own people, but their eyes were completely different.The older one didn't look like he was calm and calm, but there was a hint of blame in his eyes.The younger one was almost full of tears, as if he had exhausted all his strength to keep from crying.

So Yinhu said to Biyun, "Come in and sit with me."

After this accident, Granny Liu couldn't stop her anymore, but when the weather was getting closer, she ordered Biyun Haosheng to take care of Gege in the sedan chair.

The curtain fell, and this time it was much brighter because of the additional brazier outside. Yinhu adjusted her clothes, and it could be seen that this body was made of medium-to-high-end Suzhou embroidery. Although the material was not bad, the group pattern here was a bit too much season.While straightening her clothes, Yinhu asked naturally, "I just squinted for a while, but I forgot..."

Yinhu hesitated to speak, frowned slightly, and didn't finish his sentence, but looked at the little girl next to him from the corner of his eye, and saw that the girl was very clever, and quickly covered her tears and said, "Gege has worked hard these few days, sleep well." It’s no wonder that it’s not doing well. After a while, the gate of Yinshi Palace opened, and Ge Ge endured it a little longer. After entering the palace gate, Granny Liu had to stay. We just followed and led the eunuch into the Shunzhen Gate, and then Biyun is alone with Gege."

Yinhu's heart almost stopped beating again, from Shenwumen to Shunzhenmen, isn't this the procedure of the show girl election, is it possible that the master is now incarnated as a show girl waiting to enter the palace?Wait, who is the emperor at this moment?

Yinhu raised his hand to stop Biyun's babbling words, no matter how calm he was at this moment, he still asked hesitantly, "Today... Your Majesty... is it?"

Biyun's eyes widened after hearing this, "Gege, what's the matter with you? Granny Liu tells the emperor's temper and preferences several times a day, how come she forgot all of a sudden." Biyun looked at the Guerjia family almost He was about to tremble again, feeling extremely distressed, so he hugged Gege's forearm to comfort him, "Gegemo is nervous, Biyun will teach you one more time. The current emperor is the fourth elder brother of the holy grandfather. I heard that he is the most ..."

After hearing this sentence, Yinhu could only hear a bang, and could not hear a word anymore.God, where is this acting?Just now he was still lying in the dark classroom of the clan mansion, vomiting red over and over again, now that he opened his eyes again, he was even worse than that state, he just became a woman, and he had to give the fourth child selection.

And at the moment when Biyun was speaking and Yinhu was stunned, it was time for Yinhu, and all the show girls had to get off the car in order.Yinhu's seat was at the front, and she was helped out of the car by Biyun and Granny Liu like a walking corpse.The moment his feet landed on the ground, the flowerpot shoes barely stopped. If Biyun hadn't pressed Yinhu's waist desperately, the gossip about Guerjia's generosity would have spread all over the capital in broad daylight.

"Gege, what's wrong with you." Biyun held Yinhu tightly and walked forward in small steps. Grandma Liu could no longer follow, and her own Gege seemed to be evil, her thin and light body was almost He let himself be dragged before he could take a step, and the eunuchs staring at him made Biyun so scared that he didn't even dare to speak loudly.

This additional election was in the severe winter, and the emperor felt sorry for the fragrance, so he ordered that the place of reference be changed from the Imperial Garden to the nearby apse of the Chuxiu Palace, and ordered that the draftees stay directly in the side hall of the Chuxiu Palace for inspection. Okay, after reviewing, there will be a distribution.

Therefore, the wealthy Manchurian women who were in the front line were fortunate enough to arrange to be ready to enter in the side hall of Chuxiu Palace, avoiding the pain of waiting in the cold wind.And when Yinhu was half-dragged by Biyun into the extremely narrow corridor compartment, the master and servant were able to calm down.

In the cubicle, apart from a chair and a few tables, there is only a floor-to-ceiling mirror. Standing in front of the Linghua mirror, Yinhu finally sees the appearance of this world.He seemed to see himself when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, but this pink and pink makeup with a sickly fair face always showed that things were different.

Yinhu took two steps back dejectedly, almost collapsed on the chair, the mirror facing him was still ruthlessly reflecting his frail figure at the moment.It was the first time that Yinhu felt hopeless, even when his political opponent stepped on his own to ascend to the supreme position, he never looked so depressed.

Yinhu stared straight at the blue and white teacup on the table for a long while, he thought about smashing it and cutting his neck to die, but when he thought that he would go back to his hometown with this body, he was filled with resentment.If it is said that he vomited to death in the clan's mansion, his fate has come, but now he is alive again just to experience a greater humiliation?Yinhu couldn't believe that God could be so mean.

"Guarjia's Wenqing," from time to time, eunuchs from outside shouted the names of the beautiful women in order, and finally called him on the head, but Yinhu didn't move at all, and he didn't even know that the name was calling him. .

Biyun's heart sank along with her master's slumped body, she thought that no matter how poor the family was, it would be better than this bottomless harem, seeing how beautiful and gentle his family could be tossed in just one night He was not a good person, so he boldly persuaded, "Gege, we are called. Go and stand for a while, and then we will go home."

Yinhu followed the prestige to look at the little maid, and repeated the word "go home", as if she had just grasped a life-saving straw, and the only feasible way now was to be put on the sign.

Yinhu stood up again and stared at himself in the mirror. Naturally, he would not use any beautiful words to describe this face that was exactly like his own.But he could almost imagine how horrified Yongzheng would be when he saw this face. He firmly believed that this face was enough to scare the fourth child to death. Once.

Having made up his mind, Yinhu caressed Biyun's hand, stepped on the flowerpot shoes and walked out the door, heading towards Sishunzhai, the apse of Chuxiu Palace.
