Road to Shunzhi

Fulin never knew that Er Niang could also light incense.To be honest, the Qing army has not yet entered the customs, and the nobles have already imitated the behavior of the upper class of the Han nationality. Almost every empress in the palace can burn incense, even the queen of the middle palace. It's delicious outside.But they can't understand the spirit of elegance, the stronger the fragrance, the better, and the more expensive the spice, the better, it always makes Fulin sneeze.The only person who doesn't do this is Bumbutai. The Yongfu Palace is always fresh and refreshing, without any pungent scent.

But what is the situation now, Fulin stood outside Bumbutai's bedroom, expressing his confusion about the fragrance.

"My prince, why are you here?" Su Mo'er appeared from the side, and carried Fulin outside, "Gege told the servant that if the prince comes, I will let you wait for her outside."

"What is Erniang doing in there?"

"Get dressed up." Su Mo'er said with indescribable happiness, "Recently, the emperor always comes to Yongfu Palace, so he must have found Ge Ge to be good."

This is not the case.Fulin frowned slightly.A child's intuition is the most sensitive. Since that day, when Huang Taiji faced him, his attitude remained the same as before, but he could feel some differences—there was no trust and intimacy before. .

Moreover, since that day, Huang Taiji changed his habit of coming to Yongfu Palace only to talk about Hai Lanzhu, and instead he was tender and gentle, as if his favorite person from beginning to end was Bumbutai.

He obviously became suspicious of them, but even pretended to be ignorant and deal with them.Remembering that Huang Taiji put him and Dorgon alone from time to time recently, Fulin suddenly became vigilant.

While he was still thinking about it, Bumbutai came out from the inner room and immediately attracted Fulin's full attention.

Erniang is so beautiful, how come he never found out?Fulin opened his mouth wide, staring at Bumbutai non-stop.Bumbutai blushed a little when he saw him, and patted his bald forehead: "What are you doing, you're all stupid."

"Er Niang, you are so pretty!" Fulin admired sincerely.After some careful grooming, Bumbutai can be described as stunning, with red lips and white teeth, eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn waters, she is a first-class beauty.

Su Mo'er smiled and said, "Ge Ge was known as the number one beauty in Horqin back then."

"Well, it's worthy of the name!" Fulin nodded greatly.

Bumbutai smiled and said: "You two should not praise me, the emperor is coming over today, Su Moer, is the small kitchen ready?"

"Yes, Gege don't worry." Su Mo'er looked at the unparalleled beauty of Bumbutai and Yuxue's lovely Fulin, and she was overjoyed.

Before it was dark, Huang Taiji arrived at Yongfu Palace, and the well-dressed Concubine Zhuang gave him visual satisfaction.Concubine Zhuang has always been calm and introverted, and she doesn't seem to be very eager for his love.Unfazed and magnanimous, every time he faced Concubine Zhuang, Huang Taiji felt that he was facing a moral model.Or Hai Lanzhu is cuter, she will act like a baby and be jealous, and rely on herself wholeheartedly, so it is only natural for her to dote on Hai Lanzhu, Huang Taiji has always told herself so.However, after arriving at Yongfu Palace for a few days in a row, seeing the prudent Concubine Zhuang becoming more feminine and courteous, Huang Taiji's big man mentality popped out: he is indeed more attractive, and what he saw that day It's just a coincidence.

"Your Majesty, this servant girl specially ordered someone to make it according to your taste. Take a look and see if it suits you?" Bumubutai cleaned his hands, took off the ring and bracelet, and personally scooped a bowl of soup for Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji ate very happily.Fulin glanced at the big fish and meat on the table, poured a glass of wine, and tried to make his expression full of awe: "Huang Ama, my son respects you!"

Huang Taiji took the wine glass and said with a smile, "Why do you want to respect Ama?"

"Because Huang Ama is a great hero!" Fulin's big eyes blinked suddenly, "I heard from Erniang that no hero in the world is half as good as Huang Ama!"

Is it real or fake?Huang Taiji looked at the son with scrutiny, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

If he was only angry with Concubine Zhuang, he was angry with Fulin, as if he was being played by his young son in the palm of his hand.His rationality told himself that it was normal for a child to favor his biological mother; but his emotions did not allow anyone to look down on Hai Lanzhu, even his own son.

Fulin and Bumbutai seemed completely unaware of Huang Taiji's suspicion, and just persuaded him to eat meat and drink alcohol.Huang Taiji tasted the delicacy and smelled the fragrance of Bumbutai, he couldn't help feeling a little distracted, Fulin immediately resigned knowingly, leaving the two adults to enjoy their adult time.

It is not a big news for the harem that Yongfu Palace sings every night. It is not a day or two for Huang Taiji to favor Horqin's woman, not to mention Concubine Zhuang gave birth to a good son.However, for Dorgon, this is undoubtedly a knife in the heart.

"Your big Yu'er, now you are immersed in the emperor's favor, you are favored every day, why do you still pay attention to you, a little Prince Rui!"

In Prince Rui's mansion, Xiao Yu'er smiled very heartily, as if she was happy seeing Dorgon's misfortune.Dorgon lowered his eyes: "Who the emperor loves and who doesn't, that's beyond our business."

"Can't ask?" Xiao Yu'er walked in front of Dorgon, raised her head, and looked at his handsome face with a sweet smile, "What are you doing with this expression, the person in your heart is for others to have children, Now I am having fun every night under someone else."

"Even if I'm sorry for you, Yu'er didn't!" Dorgon finally got angry, "I have given you enough respect, but you are still relentless about my past, why bother?"

"Why bother?" Xiao Yu'er smiled wryly, "My husband doesn't care about me, and lives with another woman, who is also the emperor's concubine. If I think there is something wrong with you, just tell the emperor about it. In this way, neither you, Da Yuer, nor even the crown prince will end well, will they?"

Dorgon immediately became vigilant: "You really dare to do this?"

"How could I do this?" Xiao Yu'er had tears in her eyes, "How could I really ruin you?"

Dorgon sighed, and gently stroked her cheek: "It's been hard for you these years."

"I am not suffering, as long as you still have a little bit of me in your heart, I will not suffer!" Xiao Yu'er finally broke down in tears, "Can't the two of us live a good life, if you let the emperor know your thoughts, the consequences will be disastrous."

If the emperor knew... something seemed to flash in Dorgon's mind.When he was in Chonghua Palace a few days ago, Fulin said a very strange thing to him.

"Huang Ama cares about me and Er Niang very much, even if the side hall of Yongfu Palace is broken."

At the time, Dorgon didn't pay attention to the endless sentence, but thinking about it now, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.It turned out that outside Yongfu Palace that day, he looked at Bumbutai obsessively, was Huang Taiji in his eyes?Thinking of Yongfu Palace's continuous favor recently, he was a little startled: What exactly do Yu'er and Fulin want to do?

"I have something important to go to Duo Duo's place, and I may come back later." Dorgon left in a hurry after leaving a word.His face was really scary, Xiao Yu'er wanted to say something, but she swallowed it silently.

After hearing what his brother said, Duoduo almost jumped up: "Second brother, you are actually flirting with Concubine Zhuang outside Yongfu Palace, flirting with each other?!"

"Don't speak so harshly," Dorgon said anxiously, "I was afraid of what Yu'er and Fulin might do, so I came to discuss it with you."

Duoduo was very strange: "Earlier, I felt that something was wrong. Second brother, you must be too kind to the prince. Hey, to be honest, could that Fulin be your son?"

"Don't talk nonsense," Dorgon slapped the younger brother on the back of the head, "Fulin is the crown prince, and spreading this word will cause him trouble. What we have to do is to keep the emperor busy and have no time to go. Take care of those things in the harem."

Duoduo nodded indifferently: "Anyway, I'm following you. If you want to help the emperor, you can help the emperor, and if you want to help the prince, then you can help the prince. But, don't just remember that you are the emperor's younger brother, and forget that you are the emperor's brother." mother."

"Don't worry, I haven't forgotten it for a moment." Dorgon whispered, "One day, I will find justice for Er Niang."

Within a few days, Duoduo wrote a letter to the court, hoping to temporarily calm down the military, and take advantage of the spring to engage in farming and mulberry. On the one hand, it can enrich the people, and on the other hand, it can store military rations.Fan Wencheng and other Han ministers also fully supported, and Huang Taiji was ready to play.This time, the entire court was busy.The Manchus are nomads, and their strengths are raising horses and grazing, but they don't know how to cultivate the fields, so they had to invite some old farmers to guide them.The selection of rice seeds and the purchase of cattle in large quantities were troublesome. Under the secret operation of Dorgon and Duoduo, these things were all brought to the front of Huang Taiji, who was also not proficient in farming.Having to be busy fighting the Ming army and busy with these trivial matters, Huang Taiji's spirit is obviously lacking.

It's a pity that the women in the harem don't understand his hard work.Concubine Zhuang's popularity has always been good. As soon as she was favored, many concubines came to ask her the secret of being favored.Concubine Zhuang was not stingy, so she directly told all these things: the emperor likes to eat some braised beef and mutton, especially accompanied by good wine; You have to be more seductive, so when you are alone with the emperor, don't be too reserved.

There is less meat and more wolves, and the women in the harem are all widows, and now they have spent all their energy to seduce Huang Taiji.Except for Queen Zhezhe of the Central Palace, no matter where he goes, he sees all kinds of beauties, whether glamorous, lively or charming, and he doesn't know why, as long as he eats with these beauties, he will have an impulse , will eventually roll to bed.

The hardest thing to bear is the grace of a beauty. Huang Taiji is already obese, and he would be out of breath after walking a few more steps. Therefore, his way to combat fatigue is to take supplements.After eating a lot of fish and meat and supplements every day, coupled with excessive bed exercise, Huang Taiji finally couldn't take it anymore, and while he was proud of his masculine charm, he hid and rested at Zhonggong Zhezhe.

On April [-]th, Huang Taiji went to Zhonggong as usual.Zhe Zhe saw that his brows were frowning, and he offered a cup of ginseng soup with concern, and said gently: "Your Majesty, there will always be troublesome things, why don't you rest for a while, the body is the most important thing."

Huang Taiji patted her hand lightly, and said with a smile: "With such a virtuous and capable empress like you, I would have nothing to worry about."

Zhe Zhe also laughed: "The emperor still uses such nice words to coax me, an old woman, into favor."

"Jealous?" Huang Taiji smiled, "In my heart, those women are not even half as good as you."

"Old husband and wife, the emperor really is." Zhezhe lowered his head shyly, Huang Taiji's heart moved, he took Zhezhe's hand and walked into the inner room.
