Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Dynasty

There is nothing new about re-election in the palace, just order the nuns in charge of the two palaces to keep an eye on them.This year's showgirls are all very well-behaved, they didn't cause any fights, and An He didn't bother to bother with them, nor looked at them impatiently like Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi and others. Let many people look sideways.Concubine Rong kindly came to remind her, because she was afraid that An He would be slow, and all good girls would be picked out first.

"Master has been staring at this page for a long time." Tourmaline brought a bowl of sour plum juice, "It's hot, master should drink a bowl of iced sour plum juice first, it's just right now, it's not too cold, even if you drink more It will hurt your stomach. Besides, it's almost late, what do you want to eat tonight, Master?"

"I don't have much appetite recently, so I'll just ask someone to make porridge and make a few porridge dishes." An He put down the roster in his hand, "Yesterday, Little Eleven has been arguing for noodles, and today I ask the cook to cook for her. A bowl of shredded pork noodles in chicken soup, brought to me together."

"Yes." Bixi nodded slightly and said again, "Speaking of which, because the master has not summoned the ladies from Chuxiu Palace and Zhongcui Palace for a long time, people always come to ask the servants these days, hoping to know what the master gave to the ten princes. Which family girl did you choose? Especially Concubine Tong, every time she sees her slaves, she asks her servants openly and secretly, wishing to ask her servants to speak kindly for her cousin in front of the master. And the concubine Yi."

"Concubine Yi?" An He tilted his head and understood in an instant.Concubine Yi's niece is just young this year, and she also participated in this draft.It's just that Guo Luoluo's family background is not high, she is only the daughter of a fifth-rank official, so it is suitable for Yin'e to be a princess, but she is not suitable for being a concubine.Besides, Concubine Yi has two sons herself, and she herself has two sons, it's still not suitable for a girl from Guo Luoluo's family to have a closer relationship.

"That's right, Empress Yi's niece is now in the Chuxiu Palace. I heard that Empress Yi wants to find a good marriage for her niece, and she doesn't have to be a concubine for an elder brother or prince in the royal family. However, Concubine Yi's sister-in-law has to think about the glory and wealth, so she enters the palace to beg Concubine Yi." Bixi's ability to inquire about information is not bad, and she explained the reason in a few words, "Concubine Yi is so annoyed by her. There is no other way, so I pretended to come and ask the slaves."

"She wants to follow me to ask my sister-in-law." An He smiled lightly, "No wonder such a smart person usually comes over to inquire this time."

"is not that right……"

"Master!" Coral ran in quickly, with a joyful smile on her face, "The servant delivered the satin that was newly promoted this year to Liu Fujin according to the master's order, but unexpectedly, I asked the servant to inquire about a piece of good news. , Liu Fujin is pregnant, and it has been two months now!"

"Really?!" An He stood up abruptly, and smiled happily after seeing Shan Shan nodding heavily, "Hurry up, Shan Shan, go to Ningshou Palace to report the good news to the Empress Dowager; Tourmaline , pick a few high-quality ginseng from my private treasury and send them to Liu Fujin; Amber, come in and change my clothes for me, I'm going to Elder Brother's place to have a look!"

There was a commotion in the Qixiang Palace, and the news that Liu Fujin was pregnant quickly spread in the harem like wings.Although this news made people feel happy, it also made some people think wrongly: Liu Fujin was pregnant, and there was only one concubine and Gege left in Liu's backyard.That princess has long since fallen out of favor, so elder brother Liu has only one person to serve him, so it might be too thin.Since I failed to climb up to the tenth elder brother, it is not bad to enter the sixth elder brother's backyard!

"It is said that a family has hundreds of daughters begging, but here I have a family with thousands of sons begging." After telling Xi Tara to raise the baby well, An He said to Concubine Yi who came to her Qixiang Palace. Not long after the good news came out, the number of Fujins who handed me signs to greet me has doubled. On the surface, they are considerate of Yinxuan’s daughter-in-law who is pregnant and should not work hard, but in fact they are recommending their daughters, nieces or nieces to me. It gave me a headache."

"Isn't it the same at my place?" Concubine Yi curled her lips, "I like a bunch of Yinqi's, and another bunch of Yintang's, not to mention my own family members come begging for help. My second brother has always been honest and kind." To be honest, it’s not that I have received any important errands, but my sister-in-law thinks that her daughter is unparalleled in the world, and she insists on finding a good future for her.” It’s hard for her to say that her sister-in-law is eyeing Brother Shi, although she knows it in her heart An He must know, "If you want me to say that instead of being a concubine of the royal family, it is better to be the mistress of a middle-class family, so as to save others from sitting and standing, and have to bow their shoulders and knees to serve people on weekdays. "

"Your sister-in-law's ambition is not here." An He also asked people to inquire about this Guo Luoluo family. She has a gentle and honest personality. Not even a bone left. "But I heard you say that, your second brother is not a person who is greedy for vanity, how could you allow your sister-in-law to enter the palace and say these things?"

Concubine Yi said: "My second elder brother is far away in Shengjing, and my second sister-in-law only came back to Beijing because of my niece's election. If my second elder brother knew that my second sister-in-law said such things, how could I ask her to come in again and again?" Palace?"

"There is still a period of time before the final selection. If you really don't want to delay your niece's future, why don't you ask someone to send a letter to your second brother to explain everything. It will also save your niece whether to keep a sign or put it down. Brand, you have to suffer from both ends." An He suggested.

Yifei carefully considered the feasibility, and finally said that she would try it.After Xiang Anhe finished complaining about her sister-in-law, she said again: "I can see it now. It turns out that Mongolian Gege who followed the empress dowager back to Beijing was going to point it out to Elder Brother Shi. No wonder you have been so calm recently."

"I've already made a decision, so why should I bother to see other girls." An He sideways acknowledged Yi Fei's words.

"That's what you say, but you still have to choose a good concubine for the tenth prince. I heard that Concubine Tong is keen to match her cousin with the tenth prince. The girl from the Tong family is still From a third-rank official family background, although it is only a side branch, but the status is well matched."

Especially Concubine Tong has no children so far, so of course she wants to form an alliance with the biological mother of the grown elder brother in the palace.Concubine Hui is unwilling to contact Concubine Hui; Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi have refused to accept the olive branch several times; Concubine De, Concubine Cheng and Concubine Min are semi-invisible people in the palace, and they dare not form an alliance casually, let alone the nobles below. .Wang Guiren's son was raised with Concubine Tong, but Kangxi always restrained her from getting closer to Brother Sixteen.

"You're kidding me." An He cast a glance at Concubine Yi.

"Okay, I'm just joking." Concubine Yi quietly looked at the green smoke rising from the incense burner, "It's not been easy for us all these years."

"No matter what, life has to go on, it just depends on whether you can see it." Kangxi's suppression and neglect are nothing to her, even if Yin'e fails to marry a rich family background Fujin , as long as Yin'er can be considerate, that's enough.

An He didn't want to add a few more characters to Yinxuan, after all, Liu Fujin had just been diagnosed with pregnancy, and at this time, all the people being thrown at elder brother was just to make her feel uncomfortable.But An He has never been able to control Kangxi. After the selection of the palace, there will be an extra noble Guerjia in the harem, who is the daughter of Human, the leader of the third rank association.In addition, Yuqing Palace added Gege two, Tang Jiashi and Fan Jiashi; the fourth elder brother added Ge Gewen; Gerge Balda's.

In addition, Dong E, the seventy-year-old daughter of General Dutong Dong E, was married to Brother Jiu as the concubine Fujin, and there were three Gege serving in the backyard of Brother Jiu, so Kangxi did not give him a concubine; Abahai Borjigit, the daughter of the king of Lapu County, bestowed a marriage on the tenth elder brother as the first wife, and the queen of the Lingbao of the military academy was the tenth elder brother's concubine.Because the twelfth elder brother Yinyi is also 12 years old this year, so Kangxi bestowed a princess, Fang Jiashi, the daughter of Fang Wenbin, the fourth-rank Dianwei.

In this way, the royal clan is also assigned a marriage, and this year's general election will be considered a complete conclusion.

Concubine Yi's niece didn't leave a sign after all, and her second sister-in-law didn't dare to say anything, let alone complain, and took her daughter back to Shengjing. Half a year later, Guo Luoluo married a local Mongolian boy. very happy.

"The Ministry of Rites sent the regulations, saying that August next year will be a good day. Combining the horoscopes of the ten elder brothers and younger siblings, we have set the three weddings in early August." Yinzhen sipped a sip of ice water before saying, "Actually, there are more marriages ahead." A few good days, but the ninth brother is still my brother's elder brother after all, so it's not easy to get married over him, so I can't choose those few days."

"It doesn't matter, after all, that Mongolian Gege is going home to get married, and we have to clean up." An He said lovingly, "You are getting busier and less visible."

"There are a lot of things in the Ministry of Rites. My son is too busy to eat well these days. Er Niang saw that his son's face has lost weight." Yinzhuo said coquettishly.

"My brother is still acting like a baby with my mother when he grows up so old, and his face is ashamed." Little Eleven sat on the side playing with a Jiulianhuan, and after hearing Yinxuan's words, he raised his head and squinted at his elder brother, pouted and said, "childish!"

Yinxuan, who was robbed by his sister, almost spewed out a mouthful of ice water, put down the bowl in his hand with a smirk, reached out and pinched Xiao Shiyi's round and chubby face, his hand was not strong: "No matter how big brother is, you can't do it." Our mother's son. Besides, the Jiulianhuan you are playing in your hand was given to you by my shame-faced brother. Since you think I am childish, then return the Jiulianhuan to me. I just keep it. Come down to your nephew."

Xiao Shiyi snorted and turned his back to show his disdain.

Yinxuan really felt helpless. Yin'e was like this in the past, and now this younger sister is also like this. Could it be that his younger brothers and sisters all came to him to seek debts?

"Okay, you are so old, and you still care about your sister." An He asked the nurse to carry Xiao Shi down to feed the fruit puree, "Is that Gan in your backyard still obedient?"

"It's okay, that's all." Gan grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, talking and laughing with Wu Nong's soft-spoken accent.Xilinjueluo is in charge of elder brother's affairs now, Xitara is raising a baby, he doesn't want to go to Lin's place, Gan is beautiful, and Yinzuo has been doting on her recently, it seems that it is temporary There is no sign of the tail curling up to the sky yet.

"That's good." An He said, "Your daughter-in-law is the first child, so you have to be extra careful about what you eat and drink. Jinxiu has been with me for 20 years, and I watched you all grow up. She will take care of your daughter-in-law, and she can also report to me about your daughter-in-law at any time."

"Er Niang doesn't need to be like this. Aunt Jinxiu has been by your side for so long, so she is most familiar with Er Niang's living habits. Now that she is transferred to her son, what should Er Niang do?" Yinzuo said hastily.

"It's okay, I still have Feiqing and the others here."

"The son would rather be respectful than obedient." Seeing that his mother's mind had been made up, Yinzuo could only agree.

"There's also Yin'er." An He said again, "I can't figure out his temperament more and more now. He said that after marriage, he ran to the school every day like this, as if he didn't care much about this marriage. If there are too many, find an excuse to slip away. You go and talk to him for me, and ask him what he thinks."

"My son knows, maybe Yin'e is just shy." Yinzuo nodded.He naturally knew what his own brother was thinking, and he probably blamed Khan Ama.But how can the Tian family father and son have so much affection at all, the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are what Han Ama valued the most. In order to contain Niu Hulu's family and win over Mongolia, Yin'e's marriage was decided in this way.He knew that his mother-in-law did not ask them to have the support of the powerful Yue family, but for an elder brother, such a finger marriage was more like adding a handicap.
