The Concubine of the Red Chamber is a little flower essence

Shui Ying bared her teeth, pulled a few times but did not pull.

The nine little turtle brothers were still swimming in circles below to pretend to be big fish.

Shui Ying was very pleasantly surprised: "It must be a big fish, Xiao Shunzi is here to help."

The eunuch couldn't move it, so he went down the bamboo pole to check, and was pleasantly surprised: "It's not a big fish, there is a box."

Most of the boxes in the water are treasures.

He ordered people to take the water couplets away, and then ordered: "Salvage them."

Then, pick up ten tattered boxes.

He ordered someone to pry it open, and there were all kinds of silver ingots, and ones as big as watermelons.

It is not an official bank at first glance.

The queen looked at Xiaohuajing.

She didn't want to come, Xiao Huajing spat out lotus flowers and invited her again and again.

After all, Xiaohuajing has limited experience, although the box is very tattered.

However, the box is broken like this, but the silver hasn't turned black yet, it's just a little dim.

Xiaohuajing didn't know that she had revealed her secrets.

The queen empress misunderstood.

She thought it was the principal that the Rongfu gave her to support the Huimin Department.

She smiled and patted Xiao Huajing's hand: "Tell your grandfather that Bengong is grateful to him and will not disappoint his heart."

Those present today are all the queen's confidantes, the children are very playful, so there are a few broken boxes that are rare.

Empress Empress said: "Take them all back to Tailu's whereabouts, take the bank notes back, and only take one box."

She specifically told Xiao Xizi, the manager of the orchard, "Order it down, if you reveal anything about today's affairs, you won't want anything from the diner."

Xiao Xizi was busy kneeling down and swearing loyalty.

The queen gave 50 taels of silver to each person present as a hush money, and then ordered the box to be put back in its original place, and the silver was put in a fruit basket and brought back to Kunning Palace.

The empress told Xiao Huajing privately: "10 taels of silver bills are enough for several years, I will hang them in the name of your Rongfu, and say that you donated them. After three to five years, the money will be short, and then go get those. "

Xiaohuajing nodded: "Your Majesty is very thoughtful."

On the eighth day of the winter month, accompanied by the fragrance of Laba porridge, the first snow fell in Kyoto.

The annual winter hunting feast for the selection of palace guards has begun again.

It's just that Emperor Jiahe is too old to move, and because Ma Shangxiang is waiting to give birth, this year's winter hunting feast will be hosted by the prince.

One emperor and one courtier.

Emperor Jiahe did not go out of Beijing, and Jia Daishan was loyal to King Jing and Prince Yu, the old officials, and did not move.

The queen and concubines also did not leave Beijing.

However, the Nanyuan Huimin Department presided over by the queen, and the porridge shed and medicine shed under the name of the Maternal and Infant Aid Station under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture, were established again.

The porridge shed of this year's Mother and Child Aid Station has just been set up, and more than a dozen women come to volunteer to help every day.

She was a woman who had been sheltered by the Shuntian Prefecture Maternal and Infant Rescue Station this year because she had no money for medical treatment.

They made an appointment with the nanny at the relief station, and everyone came to help at a staggered time, so that the relief station would not be short of people and crowded at the same time.

When these people came, they also brought unused clothes for the children of the family, and some flour and rice.

Although not many, they squeezed out from between their teeth.

Hu Juan inspected the two places and brought back some touching stories every day.

A mother-in-law in Nanyuan gave the queen a little rooster, so that the queen could make up her body.

Someone sent eggs, red dates, maltose, persimmons, sunflower seeds, and sesame oil to the empress.

There are all kinds of things, and there are everything.

Although the things were crude, the empress was very happy, and when she got the things, she called the empresses of the East and West Twelve Palaces to come and taste them.

Last year, these empresses also donated gold hairpins and silver hairpins.

Although the number is small, it is kind.

The little flower essence also had gifts, and someone actually remembered the imperial maid from the Rong Mansion who gave porridge and medicine to the queen and generously promised that the queen would come forward and never abandon them.

Of course, the person that be thankful and redound is minority only.

However, the queen and Xiaohuajing are very happy.

They also don't want to see these people every year.

Seeing each other every year means that their hometown is in a famine again.

This year, the Huimin Department will be presided over by the Seventeenth Lord.

The queen sent Hu Juan to lead the female officer of the pharmacy department to assist.

Emperor Jiahe was also very supportive. In addition to the imperial physicians who were on duty on weekdays, two other imperial physicians were sent to assist.

The medicinal materials were taken from Tai Hospital.

This wave of operations by Emperor Jiahe caused the victims to kneel down and shout long live.

In the vicinity of Nanyuan, the Huimin Department built by the empress, and because of the dignitaries and dignitaries, there are other courtyards here, and some bright-minded people have opened inns, warehouses, carts and horse shops here.

Now Nanyuan has developed into a small market, which is especially lively in the twelfth lunar month.

The news from Si Yao Si made the Empress very satisfied: "I really want to visit the old place again."

Xiao Huajing said: "Don't worry, there must be a chance, and you can go on Youth Search in March next year."

Jia Cong returned to Kyoto at the beginning of winter.

However, Jia Daishan did not allow him to participate in winter hunting and select guards.

The Rongguo Mansion always has to hide some of the power of the younger generations, so that they cannot be wiped out by others.

In the middle of the winter month, Wang Xifeng finally got the good news that she was two months pregnant.

This news is only known to the family, and the news will not be made public among relatives until three months later.

The fifth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The Empress is chatting with Xiaohuajing Ma Shangxiang: what kind of Laba porridge are you going to make this year.

While eating bird's nest with rock sugar, Ma Shangxiang said, "I'm going to make Bazhen soup this year, grape longan, red dates, peanuts and lotus seeds..."

Before he could finish speaking, the person suddenly smashed the bowl like a convulsion.

Then take a breath of air.

The empress asked in surprise, "What's the matter, you bit your lip?"

Ma Shangxiang's delivery period is in the middle ten days, and this is only the first ten days.

Ma Shangxiang hugged her stomach and had no time to talk.

Xiaohuajing pressed acupuncture points for her.

She finally regained her breath: "Your Majesty, this concubine has become popular."

While ordering someone to ask the pharmacist to ask the imperial physician, the queen was a little panicked: "What do you mean, you didn't hit it, and you didn't touch it. How come it's earlier?"

Xiao Huajing hurriedly escorted Ma Shangxiang back to the palace: "If it hurts, go back and take a shower and wash your hair, otherwise you won't be able to move for a month and it will stink."

Ma Shangxiang's children are fun, they all have birthdays in the twelfth lunar month.

Confinement in the twelfth lunar month is much better than summer.

However, after 45 days of not bathing, the body still smells bad.

As soon as the little flower essence said, Ma Shangxiang finally remembered that it was only with the help of the little flower essence that she could feel refreshed when she went back to confinement.

She held onto Xiao Huajing and didn't let go, her eyes were red and pitiful: "Yuan'er, can you stay with me?"

Xiao Huajing smiled: "Your Majesty allows it, I have no problem."

Emperor Jiahe has now become his wife's slave. After hearing the queen's call, the flowery and jade-like little Baolin didn't care, and came here in a hurry. Hearing Ma Shangxiang's request, he asked Jia Yuan to preside over the delivery room.

Emperor Jiahe agreed without slamming. In order to comfort his concubine, Jinkou joked: "Jia Yuan is now canonized as the inspector and censor to supervise the third department of the Department of Pharmacy, Department of Rites and Supervision of the Imperial Hospital. Everyone must accept the supervision unconditionally. Those who are severely punished."

The Empress pursed her lips and smiled: "Your Majesty, does the imperial censor have a seal?"

Emperor Jiahe smiled: "I remember, didn't the empress give her a phoenix pendant to enter and leave the palace at will, that's all."

Xiao Huajing knew that Emperor Jiahe was joking, so she accepted the order with a smile.

In short, to protect Ma Shangxiang's safe delivery, and to perform a cleaning technique every three to five days, so that Ma Shangxiang's mother and child can feel comfortable, it's done.

Ma Shangxiang does a lot of exercise on weekdays, and she has a second child, so the child landed very quickly.

It started at noon, and a pink little princess was born in Haishi.

Emperor Jiahe felt a little regretful, he wanted to make up twenty sons.

Ma Shangxiang was very happy.

The news that Shuyuan gave birth to a little princess spread, and the concubines of the East and West Twelve Palaces breathed a sigh of relief.

That night, His Majesty sent her into Yikun Palace like flowing water.

In addition to nourishing things like ginseng and bird's nest, there are many rewards like giving a dowry to a daughter: one dendrobium of pearls, one thousand taels of gold

120 pieces of Shu brocade, 120 pieces of Yun brocade, and 120 pieces of Song brocade.

There are other gemstones, emeralds and agates of various colors, all of which were carried into Yikun Palace in full boxes.

Xiao Huajing was stunned: "These things are paired with gold, jade, porcelain, furniture, and brocade quilts, so you don't need to buy anything else when you marry your daughter."

The queen smiled and said: "Your Majesty is afraid that's what it means. My daughter saves her dowry when she lands."

As soon as the news came out, the Zodiac Palace, who was secretly happy, was sour.

They didn't have these rewards for giving birth to a prince.

Even the one who gave birth to a daughter is not fair.

When they gave birth to a daughter, His Majesty didn't even look at it, but it was the Queen who rewarded them with bird's nest and jewelry.

It's just a set of gold utensils and a set of pearls.

A pearl?

Really more popular than dead people.

What made the concubine even more angry was that on the day of the three washings, Emperor Jiahe decreed to confer the title of Princess Zhaoyang on Ma Shangxiang's daughter.

In the past, the princesses only had nicknames, and they were called the eldest princess, the second princess and the third princess, and they would be given titles when they got married.

Only the nine princesses born by Concubine Shu landed and bestowed seals.

Why not make people jealous?

Emperor Jiahe also personally selected attendants for the princess: eight foster mothers and eight wet nurses, responsible for breastfeeding and taking care of daily life.

There are two sixth-rank female officials and ten court ladies.Responsible for the princess's gold and silver wealth, sewing, washing, food and daily life.

There are two eight-rank eunuchs and ten servants, who are mainly responsible for some coolie work.

The number of people serving was quite satisfactory and did not exceed the usual practice.

However, when Princess Zhaoyang was full moon, Emperor Jiahe rewarded a farm of five hundred miles in Changping County.

Moreover, a courtyard with hot springs was rewarded in the palace.

All of a sudden, the eyes of the Empress of the East and West Zodiacs burned red again.

How many princes don't have a farm.

In the Great Moon Dynasty, only the princes who moved out of the palace to open the mansion, in order to maintain their daily expenses, His Majesty would reward the farm.

It's like when the Thirteenth Lord left the palace, because he was not favored, His Majesty only gave 24 silver, no farm, no other courtyard.

Thirteen is in the other courtyard of the hot spring, a gift from the prince.

Ma Shangxiang is not arrogant, and repeatedly said politely: "My brothers and sisters don't have any, Zhaoyang is not so special."

Emperor Jiahe said, "I am happy to have a daughter like a newborn."

It was hard for Ma Shangxiang to resign.

Don't you want your Majesty to live longer with the newborn baby?

Emperor Jiahe didn't avoid his followers when he spoke, his words were also a warning to the concubines in the harem, if you have the ability to give birth to a child, I will reward you as well.

The 73-year-old emperor is eccentric and still cheats, what can the concubine do?
