[Qing] Rebirth after abolition

Meng Guqing returned to Kunning Palace full of doubts, and suddenly Ren Na walked in excitedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the prince is here!"

Seeing Wu Keshan walking in quickly, Meng Guqing was puzzled, why did his father come?There was another question mark in Meng Guqing's stomach.

"Qing'er!"

"Er Qige, why are you here?" Wu Keshan looked very tired, perhaps he was so tired because he didn't pay attention to rest after rushing here.

"Qing'er, I'm here for Lingtai's affairs."

"Lingtai? What happened to her?"

"Your uncle doesn't know why, but suddenly contacted the empress dowager, and wanted to marry Lingtai into the palace, but Lingtai, a child, she didn't want to. So he secretly came to beg me, let me come to the capital to tell you, See if you can do anything."

"What can I do? The Empress never told me, it's just at this juncture, she told me that she wanted to marry Lingtai into the palace, the former Hai Nuo, there were several Mongolian concubines Did she arrange it all by herself? Although I am the queen, what can I do?"

"I know what your aunt is thinking. Now that the eldest elder brother is gone, the emperor has no heirs. Can she not be in a hurry? Except you, the queen, who originally pointed at Hai Nuo. But Hai Nuo was given by her forehead. The teaching is broken and you go astray. No, the queen mother has long thought of Lingtai. Even if Lingtai's father doesn't mention it, the queen mother will mention it sooner or later. To be honest, Qing'er, you have to have a child sooner or later. Yes, with a son-in-law, the empress dowager can feel better."

Meng Guqing sighed: "Eh Qige, this child didn't happen overnight, but I don't understand what to do now, why uncle suddenly wanted to marry Lingtai over here."

"It is said that this is Yitai's idea!"

"Yitai? Doesn't she know that the harem is a place to eat people? She also went to the cold palace to meet Hai Nuo and pushed her sister into the fire pit? What happened to Yitai? Is she crazy?"

"Yitai sent a letter to Horqin a few days ago. After reading the letter, he wrote to the queen mother, saying that he would marry Lingtai to the emperor as his concubine, and the queen mother promised her to make Lingtai a noble concubine. Woolen cloth."

Meng Guqing closed his eyes: "Grand Concubine, Uncle just named a noble concubine and harmed his own daughter?"

"Women of the Borjigit family can't escape this fate. They used to marry in Shengjing, but now they are married in the capital. If Lingtai is willing, then Eqige can't say anything. Now even if Lingtai doesn't Yes, that day you cried and begged me, begged me to come to the capital to find you, please think of a way, he said, you love her the most."

"Could it be, Lingtai?"

Wu Keshan looked at Meng Guqing and said: "Qing'er, you are right, Lingtai has someone he likes. He is a Mongolian warrior."

Meng Guqing breathed a sigh of relief: "Actually, she has already guessed that as a woman of the Borzigit family, as a royal woman, she has been doomed from the day she was born. They cannot be easily betrothed to others since childhood. You have to learn Chinese and Manchu, you have to learn the etiquette of the Han people and the rules of the Manchus, even your own parents can’t make decisions about your own marriage.”

Especially after Horqin came out with Zhezhe and Dayuer as empress dowagers, the people of Horqin no longer allowed other surnames to occupy the position of empress and empress dowager. How to be a queen, how to be a concubine.

Meng Guqing in her last life was considered the most disobedient, she would often go horseback riding and archery with her brothers, which also caused her to have a straightforward and unrestrained personality, so much so that she later entered a cage-like harem, and no one would accompany her to make trouble anymore. , playing with her, so she regarded this queen as a cage, and Fulin as an object of conquest, so she and Fulin could never sit down quietly. Also, Fulin was irritable and Meng Guqing was more angry than him, and with Concubine Dong E and Hai Nuo being in the way, the emperor and empress went further and further apart.Wu Keshan is right, it is natural for the Queen Mother to make this decision now, the emperor's heir is the largest, and the concubines in the palace can't fight their stomachs, and the emperor is in his 20s, and there is no emperor's heir at this time, it is really shameful .However, even if the mother is anxious and marry Lingtai, if your Baoer son Fulin doesn't pamper you, where does this child come from?

Wu Keshan sighed: "I'm going to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. I brought Lingtai's words with me. Qing'er, Eqige doesn't know what to do about this matter? Lingtai is my niece, and she has been with her since she was a child. You grew up together, this matter, you can help if you can, if you can't help, it's Lingtai's life."

Qing'er nodded: "Er Qige, my daughter knows."

"I will stay in the capital for a few days. If you have something to bring back, just tell Eqige."

Cining Palace

"Brother, just say what you want, and my sister will listen."

"Empress Dowager, Qing'er has been married for a while."

"Yeah, almost two years."

"Is there something wrong with Qing'er?"

"Brother, what are you talking about? Lingtai and Qing'er are both the nieces of the Ai family. Wouldn't it be good for the Ai family to bring them all into the palace? Qing'er's Ama is Prince Horqin, Lingtai and Yitai's Ama It's not the eldest son, it's your younger brother. The Ai family knows that after all, the elders and children are in order. But didn't the Ai family give Qing'er the position of queen? It's not too much for Lingtai to be a noble concubine. He didn't bring Yitai into the In the palace, she was asked to marry Boguoer, because Yitai was small-minded and thoughtful, and he was not as real as Qinger and Lingtai. Therefore, the Ai family was a little worried, so they married her Boguoer, but Lingtai is different. Her temperament is most similar to that of Aijia. If you bring her into the palace, you will naturally be liked by the emperor. But brother, don't worry about the position of Queen Qinger. Aijia doesn't allow it, and won't Let her be shaken. I'm just in case. You also know that the position of Queen and Queen Mother must be the daughter of our Borzigit family in Horqin. Aijia can't let those Manchus and Han people get ahead .”

"But Lingtai..."

"Lingtai's matter is settled like this. Brother, you are the leader of Horqin. Eqige married the Ai family and his aunt and sister to the first emperor. You don't know why? You are just such a daughter, and you are Ai The eldest brother of the family, so the position of the queen naturally belongs to Qing'er, there is no doubt, but we Horqin can't just support here with just a few people, Hai Nuo has been thrown into the cold palace for not living up to expectations, and those Mongolian concubines, and It wasn't from our first wife, so now there is only Lingtai. This matter has been considered in Aijia's mind for a long time, but it's a pity that Lingtai is still young, but now that she has spoken to Eqige, there is no one who refuses to agree to it. reason."

"Queen Mother, I understand, and I won't bother about Lingtai anymore."

The Queen Mother nodded: "Brother, that's right."

Wu Keshan returned to Horqin and came outside the yurt where Lingtai lived: "My lord, Wan'an."

"How is Lingtai?"

"Returning to the prince, Gege has been arguing fiercely with Lord Baylor and Fujin these few days. Gege has hardly eaten a drop of water. She doesn't eat or drink water. This servant really feels distressed."

"Let me go in and have a look."

Lingtai has lost a lot of weight, sitting there with tears in his eyes.Seeing Wu Keshan coming in, his eyes began to have hope.

"Uncle! Uncle!" Lingtai stood up: "Have you gone to see the queen sister? What did sister Qing'er say?"

Wu Keshan sighed: "Lingtai, your sister and your Eqige asked the queen mother together for this matter, and the queen mother also made an order. Your parents and relatives all agree. Although your uncle is the leader of Horqin, your sister Qing'er is a Becoming a Queen, but there is really nothing we can do about it.”

Lingtai shed tears: "Sister, why? Why did my sister hurt me so much? When I saw the emperor's ruthlessness in the palace, I didn't want to marry him, no! My sister knew that if I married the emperor, I would die. Why? ? Why did she still come up with this idea to let Eqige marry me into the palace!"

Lingtai had been arguing for a few days, but there was still nothing she could do. She had no choice but to sneak some money on her head. Taking advantage of the darkness, she rode a horse and rushed to the capital. She wanted to question Yitai why she wanted to kill her own sister.

On this day, Yitai was drinking tea in the mansion when suddenly the old housekeeper came in: "Fujin, Fujin, Lingtai Gege is here!"

"What Lingtai is here?"

Yitai hurried out, only to find that Lingtai had appeared in Prince Xiang's mansion.

"Lingtai? You are about to get married, why are you still running outside? Look at you, riding on a horse, you don't look like a bride to be married."

Lingtai ignored her question: "Borzijite Yitai, why did you write to Ezige and asked Ezige to find the queen mother and marry me to the emperor. I don't want to marry into the palace, nor Serve together with sister Qing'er."

Yitai smiled: "Lingtai? Sister, this is all for your own good? You entered the palace as a noble concubine, only under one person. And the queen has not had children for a long time. If you can give birth to an heir for the emperor, then the future , the imperial concubine, even the empress and queen mother are all yours, what can my sister get? My sister is all for your own good."

"For my own good? You want me to be favored. When the time comes, give Prince Xiang a good word in front of the emperor."

Yitai was caught by Lingtai's words, and he was very embarrassed: "Lingtai, can you help your sister and Eqige? Eqige is not the eldest son, so he has been a Baylor for so many years, and what he said in Horqin is nothing. As long as you are favored, you can help both your brother-in-law and Ezige, isn't that a good thing?"

Lingtai kept shaking his head: "It turns out that Eqige and his sister were only interested in profit, and never thought about Lingtai's happiness."

Yitai said: "It's a joke, as women of the royal family, how can we consider our own happiness? Family and status are the most important things. You will understand my sister's painstaking efforts in the future."

Yitai was worried that Lingtai would run away, so he hurriedly said: "Come here, send Lingtai Gege back to Horqin, she is a person to be married, so she can't show her face like this."

"It's Fujin!"

A group of servants arrested Lingtai, Lingtai couldn't resist, so he had to be escorted back to Horqin by them.
