Heshen is a strict wife
Chapter 61
"Greetings to the imperial concubine, so that the imperial concubine is auspicious."
When everyone arrived, they went in to salute the concubine Ling. They hadn't seen each other for many years, but the concubine Ling was still as charming as before, and she seemed to have never aged.
After waving for everyone to sit down, Concubine Ling's expression was extraordinarily kind. Today is her birthday, and the emperor made her face, which really made Concubine Ling a little overjoyed.
Feng Shuangzhi always likes to be plain and clean. Today, on Lingfei's birthday, she didn't dare to dress too well. With He Shen in such a prosperous situation, she still looked so simple. If it weren't for the fact that everyone sitting next to her Some dazzling figures, no one would notice such a low-key Feng Shuangzhi.
After seeing Concubine Ling here, they temporarily went to sit in the side hall. There was still some time before the banquet, and the noble ladies sat with people they were close to. It was Yushu and Chen Xijia, Xizhu didn't come today - even though she was Agui's daughter-in-law, after all, Abida's official position was not high enough, and the imperial concubine would not let Xizhu come.
Today's Feng Shuangzhi finds it particularly boring to sit here, the men hold a feast on the east side of the imperial garden, while the women are on the west side.
Although Yu Shu didn't wear Prince Fujin's standard clothes today, her aura was still incomparable. She seemed to look at Feng Shuangzhi without any suspicion, and asked, "I heard that the second son in your house Has the marriage between Ye and Lin been settled?"
Yushu's news is well-informed, but in fact, this matter has already been rumored, and it's not strange for Yushu to know.
Feng Shuangzhi said: "It's settled, it's settled, but there are still many things to do after the marriage proposal, I just hope there will be less trouble."
"The eldest girl of Su Ling's family is very educated and reasonable, but the second girl is a bit ridiculous." Yu Shu had heard a lot of news, and she looked at the simple jade hairpin and beads on Feng Shuangzhi's head. Hua, curled her lips slightly, and glanced at the gorgeous dress of Chen Xijia beside her, which was quite meaningful.
Feng Shuangzhi knew very well when he decided to trap Nalan, some things can't be both, if Yuanlan can think about it, she can completely get out of Su Ling'a's shadow.After all, she was married to the Hefu, and there is a saying that a married daughter pours out water, the kindness of parents' upbringing is the kindness of upbringing, but a father like Su Ling'a is really embarrassing.
Rumors from others are inevitable, but Feng Shuangzhi never thought that Yu Shu would be the first person to say this in front of him.
"I don't know what happened to Nalan. She is just a little girl of thirteen or fourteen, and Er Niang left early. She is just a girl who is not favored and has no one to discipline her. But I have seen Su Ling'a's big girl before." , very generous and comfortable, the family raised two different daughters..."
What Feng Shuangzhi said meant that she was very satisfied with the eldest girl of Su Ling's family, if she didn't understand, Yu Shu didn't deserve to sit here.
She glanced at Chen Xijia, and said, "Why don't my siblings talk?"
Chen Xijia came back to her senses, and smiled awkwardly, "I just lost my mind accidentally...I don't seem to be very clear about what my sister-in-law said to Sister Shuangzhi."
Chen Xijia can be said to be the least informed of the three people on their small table. She really lives in the inner house, unlike Feng Shuangzhi and Yu Shu, who occasionally participates in men's affairs.
On the surface, the eleventh elder brother Yong Xing is an elder brother who likes calligraphy and painting very much. He seems to have nothing to do with the world, but there is only a thin line between fighting and not fighting.If he really didn't want to fight, he wouldn't have married Yu Shu as Fujin.
Yu Shu is shrewd and capable, now she pulls Feng Shuangzhi to chat with Chen Xijia, and occasionally talks to others, so she can handle it with ease.
The process of opening a banquet is relatively boring. The women in the palace sit and talk together, and the wives are outside. After the banquet is halfway through, some people will be invited in to talk.
Feng Shuangzhi was in the first batch, and he has grown a face.
It's just that Feng Shuangzhi didn't think it was a good thing, but felt that a disaster was coming.
The curtain was raised, and Concubine Ling was sitting on the couch. Now she is in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace. Although Brother Fifteen said that he was stubborn and would not be favored, but fortunately he listened to Qianlong's words and did not make Qianlong angry very much. Live the bad too.
The seventeenth elder brother who was born before also died, but a long time has passed, and the imperial concubine doesn't feel much now.
Too many children have been lost in this palace, and it is normal that her child is gone.
Seeing Eleventh Fujin, Feng Shuangzhi, and Chen Xijia come in, Concubine Ling put away her expression, put the cup of tea on the table, and smiled at a beautiful woman beside her: "Sister Yufei, how about you?" Look, here they come."
Concubine Concubine Yu Keliyet had a relatively good relationship with Concubine Ling in the palace. They both came out of the palace back then, and it can be said that they left together with one heart and one mind for so many years.Just now Concubine Yu told Concubine Ling that she wanted to meet these people, and Concubine Ling called people in.
It's just that she has a good relationship with Concubine Yu, who knows if Concubine Yu said what she wanted?
There are quite a few concubines sitting in this room, but Feng Shuangzhi couldn't remember them all, just because there were too many of them—after all, everyone looked the same when they put on makeup, and the beauties in this palace were all the same. A face that looks a little disgusting.
Feng Shuangzhi and others saluted, so he asked the noble concubine to give them a seat, and said: "You don't need to be too polite, today is my birthday, and I am happy to see so many of you coming. The empress dowager is not in good health recently. , In the afternoon, it was said that it was a headache, and Yongshou Palace just came to talk, and it will take half an hour to lead people to visit, so we can talk at this time."
The Empress Dowager's body is indeed not in good shape, and it has become more and more unhealthy recently, but this has nothing to do with the concubines, they are just showing filial piety on the surface.
When Concubine Ling said this, everyone agreed.
"Look at her—" Ling Guifei finished greeting everyone, and suddenly pointed at Feng Shuangzhi, asking Concubine Yu to look at her, "Look at this girl..."
Feng Shuangzhi was a little stunned, why did he suddenly point at himself?
Concubine Yu turned her gaze, "Is this He Madam?"
Feng Shuangzhi got up quickly and said: "I have met Concubine Yu in person."
"Where do you come from so many etiquettes? I'm not a birthday star. Sit down. We asked you to come in after hearing your name. I just don't want others to say something so ugly, but you look at it quietly. His temperament also seems to be extremely stoic." Concubine Yu's voice was pleasant and soft.
In the early years, the relationship between her and Concubine Ling was actually not very good. He is the biological mother of the fifth elder brother Yongqi, but Yongqi's fortune is not good. She went there in the 31st year of Qianlong. He left behind his son, but he didn't dare to enter the palace.Concubine Yu is getting old, and finally raised a son. She is already an adult who married a wife and had children, but she just disappeared like that. She was also unhappy to see Wu Fujin, so she simply disappeared.
It's rare to see such a lively scene nowadays, and it made the corners of her eyes have laugh lines.
The noble concubine Ling answered: "My wife and I were able to bear it back then, but now we are in the early days. I liked her when I kept her in the palace. You don't know, this child was punished by the old twelve to kneel on the ground. In front of the Xian'an Academy—hey, look at me being so talkative, I said things I shouldn't have said again."
This made Concubine Concubine Concubine Yu and Concubine Yu directly talk about what happened to Feng Shuangzhi back then when Feng Shuangzhi and others came in, just like exposing a scar.
Feng Shuangzhi himself didn't want to mention that matter, saying it in front of everyone at this time was like slapping Feng Shuangzhi in the face.She only felt a bit of coldness in her heart, so she pulled out a perfect smile: "At the beginning, it was thanks to the help of the imperial concubine and empress... I remember the kindness of my empress."
Of course she remembered, she also knew that Yu Shu and Concubine Ling concocted this incident together.
Concubine Ling gave Yu Shu a vague look, but Yu Shu lowered her head and drank tea.
Eleventh elder brother is also a strong candidate for the reserve position, but fifteenth elder brother is the highest born in the palace.The eleventh elder brother Shujia and the imperial concubine have passed away. In the entire harem, except for the imperial concubine Ling, only the concubine Dun who gave birth to the tenth daughter of the emperor in the first month is the most favored.In other words, the current reserve is basically to choose between the eleventh elder brother and the fifteenth elder brother. On the surface, Yu Shu and Concubine Ling are still harmonious and happy, but behind the scenes, you come and go with me without mercy .
The affairs of the royal family have always been so cruel, and Yu Shu has been exposed to them since she was a child. Besides, Mrs. Fu Heng knew that she was going to marry the royal family and become a member of Fujin, so she never raised her as an ordinary daughter.But all royal women are conspirators when they are taken out.
Not to mention the imperial concubine Ling, who has ruled the harem for so many years, she has no ideas, and she can't just rely on the emperor's favor.
At the beginning, He Shen once plotted against Concubine Ling. When the emperor went to Chengde Mountain Resort, he hid a woman from the Mongolian tribe. In the end, the unlucky person became Concubine Ling.
Elder Brother Eleven was the first thing that made Concubine Gui suspicious. At that time, Yushu knew that something was wrong, and she and Eleventh Brother were prepared to harm Concubine Ling, but they did not expect to do so terribly.
During that time, the noble concubine did not fight back because she fell out of favor, but not long after she regained her power, Elder Brother's biological mother, Shujia, the imperial concubine, disappeared.
These things in the harem are very bad, and there is never a time to clean up.
Now the imperial concubine keeps talking to Feng Shuangzhi, but everyone in the room almost puts Yu Shu aside. After all, this is also the daughter of the great scholar Fu Heng, [-]th Fujin, but no one speaks to her , It can be seen how capable the imperial concubine is to control the harem.
When Ling Guifei heard Feng Shuangzhi's grateful words, she smiled and asked her to sit down again, but said: "A few days ago, I heard that Elder Brother Eleven's calligraphy and paintings were praised by Long Live Lord, I don't know that Elder Elder Brother What is brother busy with, if he is not busy, I don’t know when he will be called to draw a picture for us.”
Yu Shu finally raised his head, smiled lightly, and said, "Yong Xing was recently taught by Master Zhu Gui who was in the study room that he was not doing his job properly, so he might not have time to come. If he is free some other day, I will tell him, please Let the imperial concubine feel at ease."
These two sentences are not strange at first glance, but the smell of gunpowder is strong when you listen carefully.
Feng Shuangzhi knew that the two of them were fighting each other, so he pretended that he didn't exist.
Concubine Ling spoke a few more words to the concubines, and then heard a voice from outside, "Concubine Dun is here."
When Feng Shuangzhi heard this name, Feng Shuangzhi was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, and subconsciously glanced at Ling Guifei's face, seeing that she seemed very unhappy, he knew that these two were the most favored in the palace Two, the relationship is not good after all.
Before the concubine Dun came, the laughter came first, reminding Feng Shuangzhi of Wang Xifeng.
The person who came in was dressed more luxuriously than Ling Guifei. The red body was extremely dazzling in the light, with patterns embroidered with gold thread, a peacock feather headdress, and golden tassels falling down. It is noble and awe-inspiring.
"My sister is late today, don't blame the imperial concubine."
The imperial concubine made a seemingly sincere smile, and said: "Come and sit down, you are always so late, who dare not wait for you."
"Sister Lingfei is joking, my sister can't bear the big hat of being late. I think it's fine as long as I don't miss it and greet the Queen Mother, right?"
In other words, in Concubine Dun's eyes, it doesn't matter if Concubine Ling's birthday comes or not, as long as she goes to visit the Queen Mother.
These words were very harsh, but Ling Guifei didn't change her expression, as if she was used to listening to Concubine Dun's sarcastic remarks.
The noble concubine Ling laughed and didn't say much, but said: "Sister Concubine Dun is willing to come to honor her. It's my sister's honor. It's almost time. Brothers have already gone to pay their respects to the empress dowager. Let's go too."
After finishing speaking, she walked in front first, which was arranged according to position, and Yu Shu, who was the prince Fujin, walked in front, bringing Feng Shuangzhi and Chen Xijia together.
No one dared to speak on the road, they walked all the way from Chuxiu Palace to Compassionate Ning Palace, the palace was lively at night, and when they came out, they felt a little nervous.
Feng Shuangzhi looked at the people walking beside him calmly, but no one spoke, even the concubines in front were quiet.
I just didn't expect that when passing through the round gate, the lantern in front was blown into flames by a gust of evil wind. The maidservant who was carrying the palace lantern in front was startled, screamed, and even directly set the burning lantern on fire. As soon as he threw it, he took off his hand and passed by Concubine Dun's feet.
Concubine Dun was the closest, and took a step back, seeing that the maid was trembling with fright, she stepped forward again and slapped the maid on the face, cursing: "You don't know how to live and die, so that you, sister of the imperial concubine, The maids in the palace are quite ignorant, and you have disturbed the nobles, how can you afford it? Drag it down for me and beat you to death!"
Everyone didn't expect that Concubine Dun's power surpassed Concubine Ling's, and she acted without any scruples.
Feng Shuangzhi subconsciously felt that something bad was going to happen. She saw Concubine Ling tear off the silk scarf hanging from her chest, covered her lips, and winked at the palace servants next to her. The eunuchs standing around came up directly Drag the frightened maid down and beat her.
Concubine Dun didn't respond at all, as if she was used to it.
This scene had an indescribably familiar feeling, Feng Shuangzhi felt that he had returned to the beginning when he heard the maid's screams.
In the palace, human life is as cheap as a dog.
Feng Shuangzhi didn't speak, but she heard Concubine Ling laughing and said, "My sister should calm down, it's not good to lose someone's life right now."
Concubine Dun sneered, "If my sister is reluctant to part with this court lady, just tell me that what you have carefully trained must be extraordinary."
"What did my sister say? Could the friendship between you and me be broken because of a court lady?" Concubine Ling stopped talking when she saw that Concubine Dun insisted, and said, "Let's go quickly."
Concubine Dun nodded and agreed, but before leaving, she ordered: "Hit hard, if I don't tell you to stop, I must stop."
The maid's screams were already very weak, just beyond the wall.
Seeing Concubine Dun's domineering appearance and Concubine Ling's composure, Feng Shuangzhi suddenly felt that it was no wonder that Concubine Ling ruled the palace.Concubine Dun is indeed nothing to worry about.
On Ling Guifei's birthday, she had to punish Ling Guifei's person, this is the real skill.
Feng Shuangzhi didn't know what she was thinking, this was offending Concubine Ling to death, and what was even more strange was that Concubine Ling was too tolerant.
With doubts in his heart, Feng Shuangzhi finally arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Peace. The Queen Mother's health is not good, she coughs all day long, and doesn't like to see people very much.
Before entering the palace gate, I heard an old voice reprimanded from inside: "A bunch of useless people, you won't even be able to study!"
Concubine Ling was leading people in, when she heard this, her eyes flashed, and she led people down to worship.
The Empress Dowager sat by the couch and saw this black and white group of people coming in, she was a little annoyed, and said: "After you have greeted me, go straight down, I think you have nothing to say to me as an old woman."
The imperial concubine made a flattering smile: "The empress dowager was ill the day before yesterday, and we didn't dare to disturb her. Now that I see you, your complexion has improved a lot. Just now I heard you talking about the palace servants studying, who is it?" Did the maid offend you?"
"Na Heshen, who came to pay my respects a few days ago, loved to tell me some stories. I liked it, so I asked the emperor to tell him to tell me. Heshen also left a manuscript. Today, I finally feel refreshed. I want to listen, but I don’t think there is no one in the palace who can read and write.”
Everyone suddenly became a little embarrassed.
There are quite a few concubines who are literate, but it is impossible to say that they have any attainments, some of them can't even read all the characters, let alone ordinary court ladies.
Feng Shuangzhi was shocked when he heard He Shen's name.
He Shen read the manuscript to the old lady?Manuscript——
This……
Before Feng Shuangzhi could react, Imperial Concubine Ling smiled and said, "Now we have Eleven Fujin, a talented woman from the capital, but ah - there is another powerful person, you must like the empress dowager."
"Oh?" The Queen Mother seemed interested.
Concubine Ling looked at Feng Shuangzhi, motioned her with her eyes, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is a filial person, and now Madam He is also here. Back then, she was a well-known talented woman in the capital. How about asking She came to study for you, Empress Dowager?"
Concubine Ling really didn't miss any chance to step on the Eleven Fujin, but when she stepped on Yushu, she held Feng Shuangzhi at the same time.I'm afraid it was intentional, to make Feng Shuangzhi respect and fear her, and give her a sweet date with a stick, so Feng Shuangzhi can be used by her in the future.
Ling Guifei's abacus is sound, and Feng Shuangzhi is not an ignorant person.
Although He Shen didn't talk about it before, maybe he didn't pay much attention to it himself - what's more, Feng Shuangzhi definitely didn't do it on purpose until He Shen.Qianlong ruled the world with filial piety, so what the queen mother said was what she said, as long as she could please the queen mother, why worry about no one to support her?
Since He Shen wanted to curry favor with the Queen Mother and the husband and wife were of the same mind, Feng Shuangzhi now stood up gracefully and gave the Queen Mother a well-mannered gift.
The queen mother saw that her face was sober, not as gorgeous as other concubines, but like a simple child, so she waved her hand and said, "Then come and study for Ai's family. The others can just go back like this, I am so tired very."
Feng Shuangzhi walked over, and took the manuscript respectfully from the female officer next to her. At a glance, it turned out to be "The Story of the Stone", so a famous allusion in later generations came to her mind.
Feng Shuangzhi never thought that this handed down thing would appear in his hands, so he was in a daze for a while.
After a while, I heard the Queen Mother say: "Read it, last time I read that 'Wang Xifeng set up a lovesickness bureau', let's pick it up."
"I can save myself."
Everyone invited Ann and left. Feng Shuangzhi was studying here for the queen mother. She didn't expect the queen mother to listen more and more energetically. After listening, she sighed and said, "This is a vicious person..."
Feng Shuangzhi lowered his eyes, this stone story is the Dream of Red Mansions of later generations, this time Wang Xifeng set up a lovesickness bureau, Sister Feng's cruelty was fully displayed, Cao Xueqin's criticism of the word "poison" means Ding Ding Great.
When the queen mother spoke, she didn't dare to intervene. Looking at the reminiscence expression on the queen mother's face, she knew what old things she thought of from this memory.There are many old people in the palace, and the queen mother has lived for too long, so she must not be a stupid person to become the queen mother.
The Queen Mother sighed: "Go ahead..."
Feng Shuangzhi continued to read and told the Empress Dowager another five times. The Empress Dowager finally passed her spirits, and the palace people dared to serve the Empress Dowager to rest.
The female officer in charge of the manuscript brought Feng Shuangzhi a cup of tea, and after it was over, she sent Feng Shuangzhi out of the palace gate, and chatted along the way: "You and Madam are really good, and you didn't even stop talking six times." Yes, it seems that I have read this book a long time ago. That's right, this manuscript was sent by Mr. and Mrs. He should have read it."
Feng Shuangzhi said that He Shen didn't show these things to herself. After all, she was busy with the snake, and she had a lot of things to deal with recently, and it was impossible to cover everything. It was just that she had handled "The Story of the Stone" by herself. , there is an indescribable subtle feeling.
According to legend, He Shen asked Gao E to continue writing the last forty chapters of "Story of the Stone".
She thanked the female officer: "Please trouble me to come here. I have never read this book, but I read it faster than others, so I didn't delay."
The female officer smiled, "It's already late now, I'm afraid the imperial concubine and empress have already stopped, so you don't have to go to say goodbye. I'll take you to the front of the palace gate, and my lord has already sent people to investigate several times. It's still waiting for you outside."
Feng Shuangzhi didn't expect it, he was stunned for a moment, looked up at the gloomy and oppressive darkness in the palace, and thought that there was a person waiting for him outside the palace gate, so he was indescribably moved. "Thank you, aunt."
The female officer said: "It can be considered that you avoided a disaster. The maid who was punished by Concubine Dun was killed, and I don't know how it got to the ears of the emperor. Now the emperor is furious, and Concubine Dun has become a concubine. Concubine, there is another period of unrest in the palace. The slaves will be sent here so that Madam can leave."
"Auntie stay here."
Feng Shuangzhi had already arrived in front of the palace gate, when a young eunuch with a lantern came over from the base of the wall, took over the job of the female official, and led Feng Shuangzhi to the outermost palace gate.
calamity?
Concubine Dun beat someone to death, but the words immediately reached Qianlong, which immediately led to Concubine Dun being punished. If the concubine had not been involved in this, Feng Shuangzhi would not have believed it.As soon as Concubine Dun appeared, she was at odds with Concubine Ling, and there was no room for two tigers. Concubine Dun acted so ostentatiously, it was easy to be caught by others.
Concubine Ling is a very tolerant person, and those who can tolerate are ruthless people, this is really first class.
Feng Shuangzhi walked forward in deep thought, but he didn't expect the little eunuch to stop suddenly, and said, "Madam and Concubine Yu, I have something to tell you, the one who looks at the scenery may not be the best, the one who looks at the best is not necessarily the best." The best is not necessarily the most beautiful. It is not easy to survive in the cracks. What happened at the beginning, if you can’t forget it, you will always remember it.”
Suddenly shivering, Feng Shuangzhi stopped, looked at the little eunuch, didn't speak for a while, then said: "I don't know Concubine Yu, why did Concubine Yu bring me a message?"
"Maybe I just think Madam is easy to get along with." The little eunuch continued to walk forward with a look of indifference.
After passing through another door, Feng Shuangzhi could be sent away. On the way, there were a few lights in the palace ahead, and someone was coming up ahead.
The little eunuch seemed to recognize who it was, so he stepped back and said softly: "It's Elder Brother Fifteen, maybe he is going back to Elder Brother's place."
Feng Shuangzhi's heart sank, and he followed the little eunuch and stood aside. The group of people came over. The first person was very fast, and as he walked, he said, "What is that old man Zhu Gui? Ah Ma gave him face, she really thinks that she is a face, always scolding me in front of the father, but she wants to praise Yong Xing, amazing, amazing..."
"Master Fifteen, don't be angry, what does that old man know?"
"Shut up. Do you want me to interrupt?" Yongyan's voice seemed extremely angry, and he said, "Today is my mother's birthday, and I am not allowed to celebrate her birthday, Huang Ama even said Zhu Gui well done, what old gentleman, pedantic!"
Seeing the person approaching, the little eunuch bowed down and saluted respectfully: "Greetings to Brother Fifteen, good luck to Brother Fifteen."
This Yongyan is a trouble, Feng Shuangzhi saw that the little eunuch saluted, but he was conspicuous standing up, so he also blessed himself, "Greetings to the fifteenth elder brother."
Yongyan used to walk over like this. There were many people in the palace who greeted him. Most of the elder brothers passed by in a blink of an eye. Normally, they would not take a second look, but now they heard an improbable voice. .He just thought it was a certain court lady, at most the voice was similar, but he just scanned it casually, but found that the person who spoke was not a court lady's costume, so he was startled: "... Shuang... and madam?"
The little eunuch felt a little weird, so he wanted to raise his head.
Feng Shuangzhi knew that he had bumped into each other, but he didn't worry too much. In this palace, encounters are common things, but Yongyan seems to be in a bad mood.
"I entered the palace today, and I happened to be celebrating the birthday of the imperial concubine, and I didn't want the queen mother to stay and lecture for her, so I came back late." She explained briefly.
Yongyan stopped, and suddenly said: "You all go down, I have something to say to Mrs. He."
The people around Yongyan naturally listened to him, but the little eunuch felt a little embarrassed, and before he could speak, Yongyan kicked him directly: "Where did you come from, you dog slave, can't you hear me?" ? Why don’t you hurry up?!”
How can it be so simple for the prince to get angry?Even though the little eunuch belonged to Concubine Yu, he didn't dare to stay for long, he only had a doubt in his heart, so he withdrew.
Looking at the back of the little eunuch, Yongyan gradually turned cold. Yongyan saw him walking away, and then turned his head to look at Feng Shuangzhi, with a peaceful expression on his face.
"How are you and your wife these days?"
"Master Lao Shiwu remembers, everything is fine." Feng Shuangzhi only felt that it was unusual for Yongyan to keep him.
Although it was late at night, but she and Yongyan were the only ones standing under the palace wall, their left and right were very awkward, I'm afraid Yongyan might be okay.
Looking at her cold look, Yongyan knew that she seemed unwilling to touch him, and didn't mind, so he said, "Why is it the eunuch from Concubine Yu's Palace who sent you out?"
Feng Shuangzhi said, "My aunt from the Compassionate Ning Palace sent me out. When I got here, I happened to meet that little eunuch, so I came here."
"You suffered a crime last time, and you haven't learned how to behave now." Yong Yan suddenly said this.
Feng Shuangzhi immediately raised his head to look at him, his eyes finally showed some sharpness.
Does Yongyan still remember the incident of being punished to kneel in Xian'an Palace?
Feng Shuangzhi felt that Yongyan at this moment was very similar to Fukang'an back then.
It's just that Yongyan still has a gentle smile on his face, which doesn't seem to have changed.Yongyan said: "Madam He doesn't need to look at me, I'm just in a bad mood, I just talk to someone casually. Just for the sake of past friendship and possible future friendship, I remind Madam He not to go too far with Concubine Yu. close."
"Master Fifteen was joking, this concubine only met Concubine Yu today..." Feng Shuangzhi always felt that Yongyan must know something.
Isn't Concubine Ling and Concubine Yu on good terms?Why is Yongyan so jealous of Concubine Yu here?Could it be...
With just one glance, Yong Yan seemed to see through Feng Shuangzhi's thoughts, he bent his lips, and said, "Madam has something to say."
These words are straightforward, Feng Shuangzhi liked it, she asked directly: "Forgive me for being blunt and not well-informed, I don't know what's weird about Concubine Yu?"
Yongyan wanted to win over He Shen, and thought that after all he and Feng Shuangzhi knew each other in the past, he opened his mouth like thunder: "It's time for Mrs. He to pay attention to the affairs in the palace. How can I say that Mr. He has thought a lot, and Mrs. He Madame should also know...Sister Shuangzhi, my Seventeenth Brother passed away not long ago..."
Only this sentence.
After Yongyan finished speaking, he remained silent for a long time.
However, this sentence set off a turbulent wave in Feng Shuangzhi's heart. It was not normal for Qianlong's sons to die so many prematurely. It has a special meaning.
The most frightening thing is that their topic came from Concubine Yu.
"I thought in my heart, Sister Shuang Zhi should stand by my side." Yong Yan's voice was a little soft.
She looked at Yongyan, Yongyan was silent for a while, and then said: "The road ahead is dark, and Madam and I are optimistic and let's go."
It was dark, and the sky in this palace was even darker.
After all, Yongyan couldn't say too much, so he waved his hand and asked the personal eunuch beside him to see Feng Shuangzhi off, "Little Shuanzi, hold the lamp for Mrs. He and go."
"Hey." An eunuch came out and brought Feng Shuangzhi a palace lantern, so Feng Shuangzhi's side lit up, and he could also see the floor tiles paved on the road. The beautiful patterns had been caressed by the centuries. , and a little rough.
Feng Shuang held back his clothes as a courtesy, and said goodbye: "Thank you, Master Fifteen, and I will retire as a concubine."
Seeing Feng Shuangzhi go away, Yong Yan has been standing in the same place, he still has to go to Ling Guifei's side, because today is his mother and concubine's birthday, no matter how unsatisfactory things are during the day, they can't disturb him Mother's birthday.
Immediately, Yongyan turned around, but saw that the little eunuch next to Concubine Yu was still poking his head over there, so he called Xiao Luzi beside him to listen to him, took a look there, and gave a few instructions.
The expression on Xiaoluzi's face remained unchanged, as if he had long been used to his master's instructions.
"Go." Yong Yan said.
Xiaoluzi hit a thousand children, then fell behind, Yongyan walked forward, and then walked past the little eunuch.
Feng Shuangzhi went all the way north, but saw the stars twinkling in the sky, and the weather was rare.
The little Shuanzi sent her to the front of the palace gate, and said, "Respectfully send off Madam."
"For me...thank Lord Fifteen." Feng Shuangzhi still added, then ignored the little eunuch's reaction and walked out.
It seems that there are not many things in this palace, but there are too many news and too many places for people to imagine.
As soon as the car was driving, it stopped outside the palace gate, and a tall and straight figure stood beside the car. Seeing Feng Shuangzhi came out, he was relieved, and when she walked in, he took her into his arms, and his heart finally sank. Come down, secretly said: "I'm so worried, what's the matter, come out so late?"
Feng Shuangzhi snuggled into his arms, felt him hold her tightly, and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, this trip to the palace just avoided the limelight."
"Go home, talk on the way."
He Shen sighed, and even picked her up horizontally, put her on the car, and then got in by himself.
In the darkness, the car drove slowly away from the Forbidden City and headed for their home on the Shicha Seaside.
Hefu is getting closer.
Feng Shuangzhi said: "When I entered the palace today, Concubine Dun was demoted to Concubine Dun because she killed a palace servant, and the person who was killed was the maid of Imperial Concubine Ling. I think there must be Concubine Ling involved in this matter." How can there be such a coincidence in the world, the palace lantern just happened to light up, and it was still beside Concubine Dun—it's a pity that this palace lady suffered a disaster for no reason, and I'm afraid she didn't understand what she was doing until the end dead."
Although Concubine Dun was domineering, it was very unlikely that she would directly beat someone to death with a ruthless hand.
After all, it was the palace people below who did the fighting, and even the eunuch who did the fighting was someone from the imperial concubine's palace. Now that someone was killed, it was said that Concubine Dun ordered it, or everyone heard it together, so the handle has already been dropped.
It is also common for Qianlong to demote Concubine Dun.
He Shen said: "These people in the palace have always been cruel and merciless, we can't compare them."
Where is the mind to make gestures?Feng Shuangzhi thought about today's Yongyan, and suddenly said: "The battle for the reserve position, have you considered which side to stand on?"
Feng Shuangzhi didn't talk about this before, but now that he said it suddenly, He Shen became a little suspicious: "Why did you suddenly say this today?"
Feng Shuangzhi said: "How did Ling Guifei's youngest son Seventeenth Brother Yonglin die?"
"..." He Shen suddenly looked up at her, "Did someone tell you anything?"
"It's true." Feng Shuangzhi touched his lips and said, "If I remember correctly, the deceased fifth elder brother Yongqi was the most likely to become the crown prince at the beginning, but in the end he was the one who was about to become the crown prince. It's been a year... Concubine Yu is the fifth elder brother's biological mother... Someone who is very close to Concubine Ling told me not to make friends with Concubine Yu... You know, the relationship between Concubine Ling and Concubine Yu seems to be very close good."
There is a mystery in these words, and He Shen didn't say it, but he already understood it, but what he was curious about was: "Who told you?"
Feng Shuangzhi only said: "If you have to choose between the eleventh elder brother and the fifteenth elder brother, I would rather be the fifteenth elder brother."
He Shen held her hand and didn't speak for a long time.
Feng Shuangzhi leaned into his arms and asked him, "That beauty from Mongolia, how long are you going to hide?"
He Shen smiled, "Those who didn't know thought you were jealous. Didn't you want to choose the fifteenth elder brother? The Mongolian beauty will definitely be bad for the noble concubine..."
Feng Shuangzhi also laughed: "It's just choosing the fifteenth elder brother."
What is Ling Guifei?
When they returned home, they were very tired, so they fell asleep. When Feng Shuangzhi woke up the next morning, he found a stack of manuscripts of "Story of the Stone" on his desk, so he smiled knowingly, and He Shen had already gone to court. up,
When everyone arrived, they went in to salute the concubine Ling. They hadn't seen each other for many years, but the concubine Ling was still as charming as before, and she seemed to have never aged.
After waving for everyone to sit down, Concubine Ling's expression was extraordinarily kind. Today is her birthday, and the emperor made her face, which really made Concubine Ling a little overjoyed.
Feng Shuangzhi always likes to be plain and clean. Today, on Lingfei's birthday, she didn't dare to dress too well. With He Shen in such a prosperous situation, she still looked so simple. If it weren't for the fact that everyone sitting next to her Some dazzling figures, no one would notice such a low-key Feng Shuangzhi.
After seeing Concubine Ling here, they temporarily went to sit in the side hall. There was still some time before the banquet, and the noble ladies sat with people they were close to. It was Yushu and Chen Xijia, Xizhu didn't come today - even though she was Agui's daughter-in-law, after all, Abida's official position was not high enough, and the imperial concubine would not let Xizhu come.
Today's Feng Shuangzhi finds it particularly boring to sit here, the men hold a feast on the east side of the imperial garden, while the women are on the west side.
Although Yu Shu didn't wear Prince Fujin's standard clothes today, her aura was still incomparable. She seemed to look at Feng Shuangzhi without any suspicion, and asked, "I heard that the second son in your house Has the marriage between Ye and Lin been settled?"
Yushu's news is well-informed, but in fact, this matter has already been rumored, and it's not strange for Yushu to know.
Feng Shuangzhi said: "It's settled, it's settled, but there are still many things to do after the marriage proposal, I just hope there will be less trouble."
"The eldest girl of Su Ling's family is very educated and reasonable, but the second girl is a bit ridiculous." Yu Shu had heard a lot of news, and she looked at the simple jade hairpin and beads on Feng Shuangzhi's head. Hua, curled her lips slightly, and glanced at the gorgeous dress of Chen Xijia beside her, which was quite meaningful.
Feng Shuangzhi knew very well when he decided to trap Nalan, some things can't be both, if Yuanlan can think about it, she can completely get out of Su Ling'a's shadow.After all, she was married to the Hefu, and there is a saying that a married daughter pours out water, the kindness of parents' upbringing is the kindness of upbringing, but a father like Su Ling'a is really embarrassing.
Rumors from others are inevitable, but Feng Shuangzhi never thought that Yu Shu would be the first person to say this in front of him.
"I don't know what happened to Nalan. She is just a little girl of thirteen or fourteen, and Er Niang left early. She is just a girl who is not favored and has no one to discipline her. But I have seen Su Ling'a's big girl before." , very generous and comfortable, the family raised two different daughters..."
What Feng Shuangzhi said meant that she was very satisfied with the eldest girl of Su Ling's family, if she didn't understand, Yu Shu didn't deserve to sit here.
She glanced at Chen Xijia, and said, "Why don't my siblings talk?"
Chen Xijia came back to her senses, and smiled awkwardly, "I just lost my mind accidentally...I don't seem to be very clear about what my sister-in-law said to Sister Shuangzhi."
Chen Xijia can be said to be the least informed of the three people on their small table. She really lives in the inner house, unlike Feng Shuangzhi and Yu Shu, who occasionally participates in men's affairs.
On the surface, the eleventh elder brother Yong Xing is an elder brother who likes calligraphy and painting very much. He seems to have nothing to do with the world, but there is only a thin line between fighting and not fighting.If he really didn't want to fight, he wouldn't have married Yu Shu as Fujin.
Yu Shu is shrewd and capable, now she pulls Feng Shuangzhi to chat with Chen Xijia, and occasionally talks to others, so she can handle it with ease.
The process of opening a banquet is relatively boring. The women in the palace sit and talk together, and the wives are outside. After the banquet is halfway through, some people will be invited in to talk.
Feng Shuangzhi was in the first batch, and he has grown a face.
It's just that Feng Shuangzhi didn't think it was a good thing, but felt that a disaster was coming.
The curtain was raised, and Concubine Ling was sitting on the couch. Now she is in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace. Although Brother Fifteen said that he was stubborn and would not be favored, but fortunately he listened to Qianlong's words and did not make Qianlong angry very much. Live the bad too.
The seventeenth elder brother who was born before also died, but a long time has passed, and the imperial concubine doesn't feel much now.
Too many children have been lost in this palace, and it is normal that her child is gone.
Seeing Eleventh Fujin, Feng Shuangzhi, and Chen Xijia come in, Concubine Ling put away her expression, put the cup of tea on the table, and smiled at a beautiful woman beside her: "Sister Yufei, how about you?" Look, here they come."
Concubine Concubine Yu Keliyet had a relatively good relationship with Concubine Ling in the palace. They both came out of the palace back then, and it can be said that they left together with one heart and one mind for so many years.Just now Concubine Yu told Concubine Ling that she wanted to meet these people, and Concubine Ling called people in.
It's just that she has a good relationship with Concubine Yu, who knows if Concubine Yu said what she wanted?
There are quite a few concubines sitting in this room, but Feng Shuangzhi couldn't remember them all, just because there were too many of them—after all, everyone looked the same when they put on makeup, and the beauties in this palace were all the same. A face that looks a little disgusting.
Feng Shuangzhi and others saluted, so he asked the noble concubine to give them a seat, and said: "You don't need to be too polite, today is my birthday, and I am happy to see so many of you coming. The empress dowager is not in good health recently. , In the afternoon, it was said that it was a headache, and Yongshou Palace just came to talk, and it will take half an hour to lead people to visit, so we can talk at this time."
The Empress Dowager's body is indeed not in good shape, and it has become more and more unhealthy recently, but this has nothing to do with the concubines, they are just showing filial piety on the surface.
When Concubine Ling said this, everyone agreed.
"Look at her—" Ling Guifei finished greeting everyone, and suddenly pointed at Feng Shuangzhi, asking Concubine Yu to look at her, "Look at this girl..."
Feng Shuangzhi was a little stunned, why did he suddenly point at himself?
Concubine Yu turned her gaze, "Is this He Madam?"
Feng Shuangzhi got up quickly and said: "I have met Concubine Yu in person."
"Where do you come from so many etiquettes? I'm not a birthday star. Sit down. We asked you to come in after hearing your name. I just don't want others to say something so ugly, but you look at it quietly. His temperament also seems to be extremely stoic." Concubine Yu's voice was pleasant and soft.
In the early years, the relationship between her and Concubine Ling was actually not very good. He is the biological mother of the fifth elder brother Yongqi, but Yongqi's fortune is not good. She went there in the 31st year of Qianlong. He left behind his son, but he didn't dare to enter the palace.Concubine Yu is getting old, and finally raised a son. She is already an adult who married a wife and had children, but she just disappeared like that. She was also unhappy to see Wu Fujin, so she simply disappeared.
It's rare to see such a lively scene nowadays, and it made the corners of her eyes have laugh lines.
The noble concubine Ling answered: "My wife and I were able to bear it back then, but now we are in the early days. I liked her when I kept her in the palace. You don't know, this child was punished by the old twelve to kneel on the ground. In front of the Xian'an Academy—hey, look at me being so talkative, I said things I shouldn't have said again."
This made Concubine Concubine Concubine Yu and Concubine Yu directly talk about what happened to Feng Shuangzhi back then when Feng Shuangzhi and others came in, just like exposing a scar.
Feng Shuangzhi himself didn't want to mention that matter, saying it in front of everyone at this time was like slapping Feng Shuangzhi in the face.She only felt a bit of coldness in her heart, so she pulled out a perfect smile: "At the beginning, it was thanks to the help of the imperial concubine and empress... I remember the kindness of my empress."
Of course she remembered, she also knew that Yu Shu and Concubine Ling concocted this incident together.
Concubine Ling gave Yu Shu a vague look, but Yu Shu lowered her head and drank tea.
Eleventh elder brother is also a strong candidate for the reserve position, but fifteenth elder brother is the highest born in the palace.The eleventh elder brother Shujia and the imperial concubine have passed away. In the entire harem, except for the imperial concubine Ling, only the concubine Dun who gave birth to the tenth daughter of the emperor in the first month is the most favored.In other words, the current reserve is basically to choose between the eleventh elder brother and the fifteenth elder brother. On the surface, Yu Shu and Concubine Ling are still harmonious and happy, but behind the scenes, you come and go with me without mercy .
The affairs of the royal family have always been so cruel, and Yu Shu has been exposed to them since she was a child. Besides, Mrs. Fu Heng knew that she was going to marry the royal family and become a member of Fujin, so she never raised her as an ordinary daughter.But all royal women are conspirators when they are taken out.
Not to mention the imperial concubine Ling, who has ruled the harem for so many years, she has no ideas, and she can't just rely on the emperor's favor.
At the beginning, He Shen once plotted against Concubine Ling. When the emperor went to Chengde Mountain Resort, he hid a woman from the Mongolian tribe. In the end, the unlucky person became Concubine Ling.
Elder Brother Eleven was the first thing that made Concubine Gui suspicious. At that time, Yushu knew that something was wrong, and she and Eleventh Brother were prepared to harm Concubine Ling, but they did not expect to do so terribly.
During that time, the noble concubine did not fight back because she fell out of favor, but not long after she regained her power, Elder Brother's biological mother, Shujia, the imperial concubine, disappeared.
These things in the harem are very bad, and there is never a time to clean up.
Now the imperial concubine keeps talking to Feng Shuangzhi, but everyone in the room almost puts Yu Shu aside. After all, this is also the daughter of the great scholar Fu Heng, [-]th Fujin, but no one speaks to her , It can be seen how capable the imperial concubine is to control the harem.
When Ling Guifei heard Feng Shuangzhi's grateful words, she smiled and asked her to sit down again, but said: "A few days ago, I heard that Elder Brother Eleven's calligraphy and paintings were praised by Long Live Lord, I don't know that Elder Elder Brother What is brother busy with, if he is not busy, I don’t know when he will be called to draw a picture for us.”
Yu Shu finally raised his head, smiled lightly, and said, "Yong Xing was recently taught by Master Zhu Gui who was in the study room that he was not doing his job properly, so he might not have time to come. If he is free some other day, I will tell him, please Let the imperial concubine feel at ease."
These two sentences are not strange at first glance, but the smell of gunpowder is strong when you listen carefully.
Feng Shuangzhi knew that the two of them were fighting each other, so he pretended that he didn't exist.
Concubine Ling spoke a few more words to the concubines, and then heard a voice from outside, "Concubine Dun is here."
When Feng Shuangzhi heard this name, Feng Shuangzhi was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, and subconsciously glanced at Ling Guifei's face, seeing that she seemed very unhappy, he knew that these two were the most favored in the palace Two, the relationship is not good after all.
Before the concubine Dun came, the laughter came first, reminding Feng Shuangzhi of Wang Xifeng.
The person who came in was dressed more luxuriously than Ling Guifei. The red body was extremely dazzling in the light, with patterns embroidered with gold thread, a peacock feather headdress, and golden tassels falling down. It is noble and awe-inspiring.
"My sister is late today, don't blame the imperial concubine."
The imperial concubine made a seemingly sincere smile, and said: "Come and sit down, you are always so late, who dare not wait for you."
"Sister Lingfei is joking, my sister can't bear the big hat of being late. I think it's fine as long as I don't miss it and greet the Queen Mother, right?"
In other words, in Concubine Dun's eyes, it doesn't matter if Concubine Ling's birthday comes or not, as long as she goes to visit the Queen Mother.
These words were very harsh, but Ling Guifei didn't change her expression, as if she was used to listening to Concubine Dun's sarcastic remarks.
The noble concubine Ling laughed and didn't say much, but said: "Sister Concubine Dun is willing to come to honor her. It's my sister's honor. It's almost time. Brothers have already gone to pay their respects to the empress dowager. Let's go too."
After finishing speaking, she walked in front first, which was arranged according to position, and Yu Shu, who was the prince Fujin, walked in front, bringing Feng Shuangzhi and Chen Xijia together.
No one dared to speak on the road, they walked all the way from Chuxiu Palace to Compassionate Ning Palace, the palace was lively at night, and when they came out, they felt a little nervous.
Feng Shuangzhi looked at the people walking beside him calmly, but no one spoke, even the concubines in front were quiet.
I just didn't expect that when passing through the round gate, the lantern in front was blown into flames by a gust of evil wind. The maidservant who was carrying the palace lantern in front was startled, screamed, and even directly set the burning lantern on fire. As soon as he threw it, he took off his hand and passed by Concubine Dun's feet.
Concubine Dun was the closest, and took a step back, seeing that the maid was trembling with fright, she stepped forward again and slapped the maid on the face, cursing: "You don't know how to live and die, so that you, sister of the imperial concubine, The maids in the palace are quite ignorant, and you have disturbed the nobles, how can you afford it? Drag it down for me and beat you to death!"
Everyone didn't expect that Concubine Dun's power surpassed Concubine Ling's, and she acted without any scruples.
Feng Shuangzhi subconsciously felt that something bad was going to happen. She saw Concubine Ling tear off the silk scarf hanging from her chest, covered her lips, and winked at the palace servants next to her. The eunuchs standing around came up directly Drag the frightened maid down and beat her.
Concubine Dun didn't respond at all, as if she was used to it.
This scene had an indescribably familiar feeling, Feng Shuangzhi felt that he had returned to the beginning when he heard the maid's screams.
In the palace, human life is as cheap as a dog.
Feng Shuangzhi didn't speak, but she heard Concubine Ling laughing and said, "My sister should calm down, it's not good to lose someone's life right now."
Concubine Dun sneered, "If my sister is reluctant to part with this court lady, just tell me that what you have carefully trained must be extraordinary."
"What did my sister say? Could the friendship between you and me be broken because of a court lady?" Concubine Ling stopped talking when she saw that Concubine Dun insisted, and said, "Let's go quickly."
Concubine Dun nodded and agreed, but before leaving, she ordered: "Hit hard, if I don't tell you to stop, I must stop."
The maid's screams were already very weak, just beyond the wall.
Seeing Concubine Dun's domineering appearance and Concubine Ling's composure, Feng Shuangzhi suddenly felt that it was no wonder that Concubine Ling ruled the palace.Concubine Dun is indeed nothing to worry about.
On Ling Guifei's birthday, she had to punish Ling Guifei's person, this is the real skill.
Feng Shuangzhi didn't know what she was thinking, this was offending Concubine Ling to death, and what was even more strange was that Concubine Ling was too tolerant.
With doubts in his heart, Feng Shuangzhi finally arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Peace. The Queen Mother's health is not good, she coughs all day long, and doesn't like to see people very much.
Before entering the palace gate, I heard an old voice reprimanded from inside: "A bunch of useless people, you won't even be able to study!"
Concubine Ling was leading people in, when she heard this, her eyes flashed, and she led people down to worship.
The Empress Dowager sat by the couch and saw this black and white group of people coming in, she was a little annoyed, and said: "After you have greeted me, go straight down, I think you have nothing to say to me as an old woman."
The imperial concubine made a flattering smile: "The empress dowager was ill the day before yesterday, and we didn't dare to disturb her. Now that I see you, your complexion has improved a lot. Just now I heard you talking about the palace servants studying, who is it?" Did the maid offend you?"
"Na Heshen, who came to pay my respects a few days ago, loved to tell me some stories. I liked it, so I asked the emperor to tell him to tell me. Heshen also left a manuscript. Today, I finally feel refreshed. I want to listen, but I don’t think there is no one in the palace who can read and write.”
Everyone suddenly became a little embarrassed.
There are quite a few concubines who are literate, but it is impossible to say that they have any attainments, some of them can't even read all the characters, let alone ordinary court ladies.
Feng Shuangzhi was shocked when he heard He Shen's name.
He Shen read the manuscript to the old lady?Manuscript——
This……
Before Feng Shuangzhi could react, Imperial Concubine Ling smiled and said, "Now we have Eleven Fujin, a talented woman from the capital, but ah - there is another powerful person, you must like the empress dowager."
"Oh?" The Queen Mother seemed interested.
Concubine Ling looked at Feng Shuangzhi, motioned her with her eyes, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is a filial person, and now Madam He is also here. Back then, she was a well-known talented woman in the capital. How about asking She came to study for you, Empress Dowager?"
Concubine Ling really didn't miss any chance to step on the Eleven Fujin, but when she stepped on Yushu, she held Feng Shuangzhi at the same time.I'm afraid it was intentional, to make Feng Shuangzhi respect and fear her, and give her a sweet date with a stick, so Feng Shuangzhi can be used by her in the future.
Ling Guifei's abacus is sound, and Feng Shuangzhi is not an ignorant person.
Although He Shen didn't talk about it before, maybe he didn't pay much attention to it himself - what's more, Feng Shuangzhi definitely didn't do it on purpose until He Shen.Qianlong ruled the world with filial piety, so what the queen mother said was what she said, as long as she could please the queen mother, why worry about no one to support her?
Since He Shen wanted to curry favor with the Queen Mother and the husband and wife were of the same mind, Feng Shuangzhi now stood up gracefully and gave the Queen Mother a well-mannered gift.
The queen mother saw that her face was sober, not as gorgeous as other concubines, but like a simple child, so she waved her hand and said, "Then come and study for Ai's family. The others can just go back like this, I am so tired very."
Feng Shuangzhi walked over, and took the manuscript respectfully from the female officer next to her. At a glance, it turned out to be "The Story of the Stone", so a famous allusion in later generations came to her mind.
Feng Shuangzhi never thought that this handed down thing would appear in his hands, so he was in a daze for a while.
After a while, I heard the Queen Mother say: "Read it, last time I read that 'Wang Xifeng set up a lovesickness bureau', let's pick it up."
"I can save myself."
Everyone invited Ann and left. Feng Shuangzhi was studying here for the queen mother. She didn't expect the queen mother to listen more and more energetically. After listening, she sighed and said, "This is a vicious person..."
Feng Shuangzhi lowered his eyes, this stone story is the Dream of Red Mansions of later generations, this time Wang Xifeng set up a lovesickness bureau, Sister Feng's cruelty was fully displayed, Cao Xueqin's criticism of the word "poison" means Ding Ding Great.
When the queen mother spoke, she didn't dare to intervene. Looking at the reminiscence expression on the queen mother's face, she knew what old things she thought of from this memory.There are many old people in the palace, and the queen mother has lived for too long, so she must not be a stupid person to become the queen mother.
The Queen Mother sighed: "Go ahead..."
Feng Shuangzhi continued to read and told the Empress Dowager another five times. The Empress Dowager finally passed her spirits, and the palace people dared to serve the Empress Dowager to rest.
The female officer in charge of the manuscript brought Feng Shuangzhi a cup of tea, and after it was over, she sent Feng Shuangzhi out of the palace gate, and chatted along the way: "You and Madam are really good, and you didn't even stop talking six times." Yes, it seems that I have read this book a long time ago. That's right, this manuscript was sent by Mr. and Mrs. He should have read it."
Feng Shuangzhi said that He Shen didn't show these things to herself. After all, she was busy with the snake, and she had a lot of things to deal with recently, and it was impossible to cover everything. It was just that she had handled "The Story of the Stone" by herself. , there is an indescribable subtle feeling.
According to legend, He Shen asked Gao E to continue writing the last forty chapters of "Story of the Stone".
She thanked the female officer: "Please trouble me to come here. I have never read this book, but I read it faster than others, so I didn't delay."
The female officer smiled, "It's already late now, I'm afraid the imperial concubine and empress have already stopped, so you don't have to go to say goodbye. I'll take you to the front of the palace gate, and my lord has already sent people to investigate several times. It's still waiting for you outside."
Feng Shuangzhi didn't expect it, he was stunned for a moment, looked up at the gloomy and oppressive darkness in the palace, and thought that there was a person waiting for him outside the palace gate, so he was indescribably moved. "Thank you, aunt."
The female officer said: "It can be considered that you avoided a disaster. The maid who was punished by Concubine Dun was killed, and I don't know how it got to the ears of the emperor. Now the emperor is furious, and Concubine Dun has become a concubine. Concubine, there is another period of unrest in the palace. The slaves will be sent here so that Madam can leave."
"Auntie stay here."
Feng Shuangzhi had already arrived in front of the palace gate, when a young eunuch with a lantern came over from the base of the wall, took over the job of the female official, and led Feng Shuangzhi to the outermost palace gate.
calamity?
Concubine Dun beat someone to death, but the words immediately reached Qianlong, which immediately led to Concubine Dun being punished. If the concubine had not been involved in this, Feng Shuangzhi would not have believed it.As soon as Concubine Dun appeared, she was at odds with Concubine Ling, and there was no room for two tigers. Concubine Dun acted so ostentatiously, it was easy to be caught by others.
Concubine Ling is a very tolerant person, and those who can tolerate are ruthless people, this is really first class.
Feng Shuangzhi walked forward in deep thought, but he didn't expect the little eunuch to stop suddenly, and said, "Madam and Concubine Yu, I have something to tell you, the one who looks at the scenery may not be the best, the one who looks at the best is not necessarily the best." The best is not necessarily the most beautiful. It is not easy to survive in the cracks. What happened at the beginning, if you can’t forget it, you will always remember it.”
Suddenly shivering, Feng Shuangzhi stopped, looked at the little eunuch, didn't speak for a while, then said: "I don't know Concubine Yu, why did Concubine Yu bring me a message?"
"Maybe I just think Madam is easy to get along with." The little eunuch continued to walk forward with a look of indifference.
After passing through another door, Feng Shuangzhi could be sent away. On the way, there were a few lights in the palace ahead, and someone was coming up ahead.
The little eunuch seemed to recognize who it was, so he stepped back and said softly: "It's Elder Brother Fifteen, maybe he is going back to Elder Brother's place."
Feng Shuangzhi's heart sank, and he followed the little eunuch and stood aside. The group of people came over. The first person was very fast, and as he walked, he said, "What is that old man Zhu Gui? Ah Ma gave him face, she really thinks that she is a face, always scolding me in front of the father, but she wants to praise Yong Xing, amazing, amazing..."
"Master Fifteen, don't be angry, what does that old man know?"
"Shut up. Do you want me to interrupt?" Yongyan's voice seemed extremely angry, and he said, "Today is my mother's birthday, and I am not allowed to celebrate her birthday, Huang Ama even said Zhu Gui well done, what old gentleman, pedantic!"
Seeing the person approaching, the little eunuch bowed down and saluted respectfully: "Greetings to Brother Fifteen, good luck to Brother Fifteen."
This Yongyan is a trouble, Feng Shuangzhi saw that the little eunuch saluted, but he was conspicuous standing up, so he also blessed himself, "Greetings to the fifteenth elder brother."
Yongyan used to walk over like this. There were many people in the palace who greeted him. Most of the elder brothers passed by in a blink of an eye. Normally, they would not take a second look, but now they heard an improbable voice. .He just thought it was a certain court lady, at most the voice was similar, but he just scanned it casually, but found that the person who spoke was not a court lady's costume, so he was startled: "... Shuang... and madam?"
The little eunuch felt a little weird, so he wanted to raise his head.
Feng Shuangzhi knew that he had bumped into each other, but he didn't worry too much. In this palace, encounters are common things, but Yongyan seems to be in a bad mood.
"I entered the palace today, and I happened to be celebrating the birthday of the imperial concubine, and I didn't want the queen mother to stay and lecture for her, so I came back late." She explained briefly.
Yongyan stopped, and suddenly said: "You all go down, I have something to say to Mrs. He."
The people around Yongyan naturally listened to him, but the little eunuch felt a little embarrassed, and before he could speak, Yongyan kicked him directly: "Where did you come from, you dog slave, can't you hear me?" ? Why don’t you hurry up?!”
How can it be so simple for the prince to get angry?Even though the little eunuch belonged to Concubine Yu, he didn't dare to stay for long, he only had a doubt in his heart, so he withdrew.
Looking at the back of the little eunuch, Yongyan gradually turned cold. Yongyan saw him walking away, and then turned his head to look at Feng Shuangzhi, with a peaceful expression on his face.
"How are you and your wife these days?"
"Master Lao Shiwu remembers, everything is fine." Feng Shuangzhi only felt that it was unusual for Yongyan to keep him.
Although it was late at night, but she and Yongyan were the only ones standing under the palace wall, their left and right were very awkward, I'm afraid Yongyan might be okay.
Looking at her cold look, Yongyan knew that she seemed unwilling to touch him, and didn't mind, so he said, "Why is it the eunuch from Concubine Yu's Palace who sent you out?"
Feng Shuangzhi said, "My aunt from the Compassionate Ning Palace sent me out. When I got here, I happened to meet that little eunuch, so I came here."
"You suffered a crime last time, and you haven't learned how to behave now." Yong Yan suddenly said this.
Feng Shuangzhi immediately raised his head to look at him, his eyes finally showed some sharpness.
Does Yongyan still remember the incident of being punished to kneel in Xian'an Palace?
Feng Shuangzhi felt that Yongyan at this moment was very similar to Fukang'an back then.
It's just that Yongyan still has a gentle smile on his face, which doesn't seem to have changed.Yongyan said: "Madam He doesn't need to look at me, I'm just in a bad mood, I just talk to someone casually. Just for the sake of past friendship and possible future friendship, I remind Madam He not to go too far with Concubine Yu. close."
"Master Fifteen was joking, this concubine only met Concubine Yu today..." Feng Shuangzhi always felt that Yongyan must know something.
Isn't Concubine Ling and Concubine Yu on good terms?Why is Yongyan so jealous of Concubine Yu here?Could it be...
With just one glance, Yong Yan seemed to see through Feng Shuangzhi's thoughts, he bent his lips, and said, "Madam has something to say."
These words are straightforward, Feng Shuangzhi liked it, she asked directly: "Forgive me for being blunt and not well-informed, I don't know what's weird about Concubine Yu?"
Yongyan wanted to win over He Shen, and thought that after all he and Feng Shuangzhi knew each other in the past, he opened his mouth like thunder: "It's time for Mrs. He to pay attention to the affairs in the palace. How can I say that Mr. He has thought a lot, and Mrs. He Madame should also know...Sister Shuangzhi, my Seventeenth Brother passed away not long ago..."
Only this sentence.
After Yongyan finished speaking, he remained silent for a long time.
However, this sentence set off a turbulent wave in Feng Shuangzhi's heart. It was not normal for Qianlong's sons to die so many prematurely. It has a special meaning.
The most frightening thing is that their topic came from Concubine Yu.
"I thought in my heart, Sister Shuang Zhi should stand by my side." Yong Yan's voice was a little soft.
She looked at Yongyan, Yongyan was silent for a while, and then said: "The road ahead is dark, and Madam and I are optimistic and let's go."
It was dark, and the sky in this palace was even darker.
After all, Yongyan couldn't say too much, so he waved his hand and asked the personal eunuch beside him to see Feng Shuangzhi off, "Little Shuanzi, hold the lamp for Mrs. He and go."
"Hey." An eunuch came out and brought Feng Shuangzhi a palace lantern, so Feng Shuangzhi's side lit up, and he could also see the floor tiles paved on the road. The beautiful patterns had been caressed by the centuries. , and a little rough.
Feng Shuang held back his clothes as a courtesy, and said goodbye: "Thank you, Master Fifteen, and I will retire as a concubine."
Seeing Feng Shuangzhi go away, Yong Yan has been standing in the same place, he still has to go to Ling Guifei's side, because today is his mother and concubine's birthday, no matter how unsatisfactory things are during the day, they can't disturb him Mother's birthday.
Immediately, Yongyan turned around, but saw that the little eunuch next to Concubine Yu was still poking his head over there, so he called Xiao Luzi beside him to listen to him, took a look there, and gave a few instructions.
The expression on Xiaoluzi's face remained unchanged, as if he had long been used to his master's instructions.
"Go." Yong Yan said.
Xiaoluzi hit a thousand children, then fell behind, Yongyan walked forward, and then walked past the little eunuch.
Feng Shuangzhi went all the way north, but saw the stars twinkling in the sky, and the weather was rare.
The little Shuanzi sent her to the front of the palace gate, and said, "Respectfully send off Madam."
"For me...thank Lord Fifteen." Feng Shuangzhi still added, then ignored the little eunuch's reaction and walked out.
It seems that there are not many things in this palace, but there are too many news and too many places for people to imagine.
As soon as the car was driving, it stopped outside the palace gate, and a tall and straight figure stood beside the car. Seeing Feng Shuangzhi came out, he was relieved, and when she walked in, he took her into his arms, and his heart finally sank. Come down, secretly said: "I'm so worried, what's the matter, come out so late?"
Feng Shuangzhi snuggled into his arms, felt him hold her tightly, and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, this trip to the palace just avoided the limelight."
"Go home, talk on the way."
He Shen sighed, and even picked her up horizontally, put her on the car, and then got in by himself.
In the darkness, the car drove slowly away from the Forbidden City and headed for their home on the Shicha Seaside.
Hefu is getting closer.
Feng Shuangzhi said: "When I entered the palace today, Concubine Dun was demoted to Concubine Dun because she killed a palace servant, and the person who was killed was the maid of Imperial Concubine Ling. I think there must be Concubine Ling involved in this matter." How can there be such a coincidence in the world, the palace lantern just happened to light up, and it was still beside Concubine Dun—it's a pity that this palace lady suffered a disaster for no reason, and I'm afraid she didn't understand what she was doing until the end dead."
Although Concubine Dun was domineering, it was very unlikely that she would directly beat someone to death with a ruthless hand.
After all, it was the palace people below who did the fighting, and even the eunuch who did the fighting was someone from the imperial concubine's palace. Now that someone was killed, it was said that Concubine Dun ordered it, or everyone heard it together, so the handle has already been dropped.
It is also common for Qianlong to demote Concubine Dun.
He Shen said: "These people in the palace have always been cruel and merciless, we can't compare them."
Where is the mind to make gestures?Feng Shuangzhi thought about today's Yongyan, and suddenly said: "The battle for the reserve position, have you considered which side to stand on?"
Feng Shuangzhi didn't talk about this before, but now that he said it suddenly, He Shen became a little suspicious: "Why did you suddenly say this today?"
Feng Shuangzhi said: "How did Ling Guifei's youngest son Seventeenth Brother Yonglin die?"
"..." He Shen suddenly looked up at her, "Did someone tell you anything?"
"It's true." Feng Shuangzhi touched his lips and said, "If I remember correctly, the deceased fifth elder brother Yongqi was the most likely to become the crown prince at the beginning, but in the end he was the one who was about to become the crown prince. It's been a year... Concubine Yu is the fifth elder brother's biological mother... Someone who is very close to Concubine Ling told me not to make friends with Concubine Yu... You know, the relationship between Concubine Ling and Concubine Yu seems to be very close good."
There is a mystery in these words, and He Shen didn't say it, but he already understood it, but what he was curious about was: "Who told you?"
Feng Shuangzhi only said: "If you have to choose between the eleventh elder brother and the fifteenth elder brother, I would rather be the fifteenth elder brother."
He Shen held her hand and didn't speak for a long time.
Feng Shuangzhi leaned into his arms and asked him, "That beauty from Mongolia, how long are you going to hide?"
He Shen smiled, "Those who didn't know thought you were jealous. Didn't you want to choose the fifteenth elder brother? The Mongolian beauty will definitely be bad for the noble concubine..."
Feng Shuangzhi also laughed: "It's just choosing the fifteenth elder brother."
What is Ling Guifei?
When they returned home, they were very tired, so they fell asleep. When Feng Shuangzhi woke up the next morning, he found a stack of manuscripts of "Story of the Stone" on his desk, so he smiled knowingly, and He Shen had already gone to court. up,
