Dressed as Concubine Xian [Comprehensive Yanxi Palace]

Fucha Fu Heng was one of the few capable ministers during the Qianlong period. Although he was born in a noble family, he did not have the habit of being a dandy. He had outstanding achievements in the fields of internal affairs, diplomacy, and military affairs. There is also a certain understanding.

Therefore, he was sent to the Changchun Palace by Empress Fucha, and after listening to the entrustment of the empress's sister and concubine Xian, he immediately promised: "The minister will definitely live up to the entrustment of the empress!"

"Master Fu Heng has this kind of heart, and I am very satisfied."

She Shuxian smiled and asked Fu Heng to get up. Seeing that he was tall, imposing, and a very handsome man in the Qing Dynasty, she unconsciously remembered a romantic affair between Fu Heng's wife and Qianlong recorded in the unofficial history.

According to legend, Fu Heng was born in a noble family and was Qianlong's brother-in-law. He had a successful career as an official, and he went from a sixth-rank guard to a first-rank minister in just seven years. His wife was also the most beautiful woman in Manchuria carefully selected by Qianlong and Empress Fucha.

However, Qianlong, who was lustful by nature, had an unruly intention towards Fu Heng's wife, and took advantage of Fu Heng's wife's opportunity to visit the queen in the palace to force her.Fu Heng's wife didn't dare to refuse, and Fu Heng's third son, Fu Kang'an, appeared after some indescribable events.

However, paper cannot keep fire.

Empress Fucha was aware of this after all.

Since the seventh elder brother died early, the queen has been depressed and lingering in the sick bed. When she learned that her husband had treated the Fu Cha family in such a way, she was in agony and died soon after.

She Shuxian didn't know whether Qianlong had done indescribable things to Fu Heng's wife, but Qianlong in history did love Fukang'an very much, with military power in his hands, and his status was still higher than that of Qianlong's favorite minister Heshen.

Thinking of the heroic brother in front of her who would be given a "green hat" by his brother-in-law with a pig's trotters in the future, She Shuxian couldn't help asking: "Master Fu Heng is not young, but is there a girl he likes?"

"Fu Heng is dedicated to the Qing Dynasty and the emperor, and dare not think about his children!"

Fu Heng answered grandly.

Empress Fucha said: "I have been indulging in sorrow a few days ago, and I almost forgot that my younger brother is about to get married. Sister Concubine Xian, do you have a favorite candidate?"

"Swords are given to heroes, and red powder is given to beauties. A young hero like Mr. Fu Heng naturally needs the most beautiful man in Manchuria to match him." She Shuxian said with a smile.

Empress Fucha also smiled when she heard the words, and said, "Sister Concubine Xian really flattered him."

Fu Heng also said: "Concubine Xie Xian loves you."

"Master Fu Heng is underestimating himself."

She Shuxian shook the palace fan, and the topic of marriage was put aside. Everyone continued to discuss the matter of giving out porridge outside Di'anmen, and they did not leave until dark.

In the evening, Qianlong came to Changchun Palace to visit Empress Fucha. Empress Fucha told Qianlong about Concubine Xian's use of Fu Heng to help maintain the order of Di'anmen porridge. His merits and virtues are naturally impermeable, Concubine Xian has a heart."

Later, Empress Fucha talked about Concubine Xian's suggestion to marry the most beautiful woman in Manchuria for Fu Heng. Qianlong heard the words and said with a smile: "It is impossible for Fu Heng to marry the most beautiful woman in Manchuria in this life."

"Why?" Empress Fucha asked.

Qianlong said: "Because the most beautiful woman in Manchuria is not you, the queen!"

Empress Fucha heard the words, although she didn't reply, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

When Qianlong saw Empress Fucha smiling, his heart warmed, and he said, "Empress, the ancients said that a beauty's smile is worth a thousand gold. But I feel that even if I put all the jewels in the world in front of me, it is not as good as your empress's smile." .”

"emperor……"

Empress Fucha lowered her head in embarrassment, Qianlong took the opportunity to hold her Qianqian hand and said, "Tonight, I won't leave."

……

Qianlong stayed in Changchun Palace, and the maids of Changchun Palace were naturally happy. Even the maids serving in the small kitchen discussed in whispers while guarding the fire.

Pearl is ignorant, always remembering the Fu Heng marriage that the queen mentioned to the emperor tonight, and said to herself: "I don't know which aunt can have such a blessing, being favored by the emperor and the queen, pointing it to Lord Fu Heng..."

Hu Po heard this and said with a smile: "Your Majesty values ​​Mr. Fu Heng so much, even marrying a Princess Gu Lun is not impossible."

"Well, this matter has nothing to do with us anyway." Pearl sighed dejectedly.

Amber saw Er Qing approaching at this moment, so she said, "Actually, it's not hopeless at all... If Er Qing is such a gentle, considerate and generous woman, maybe Lord Fucha will also..."

"Sister Ke Erqing is just like us..."

In the middle of Zhuzhu's words, she suddenly saw Erqing and shut up quickly.

However, Erqing has heard it.

She was already concerned about whether to try to keep the grace for the Changchun Palace, but after hearing Zhuzhu's unintentional words, her heart became more and more turbulent.

Most of the court ladies in the Qing Palace were born in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and served the royal family for generations.Even if someone in the family is noble because of being favored, if he can't be favored to raise the flag, if he meets a nobleman of the Eight Banners who is higher than himself on the street, even if the opponent's official position is lower than his own or even Bai Ding who has no official position, he still has to kneel down and salute.

And the quickest way to get the flag raised is——

The emperor's favor!

Thinking of this, Erqing raised her head and looked at the Changchun Palace bedroom where the lights had not been extinguished.

……

……

The Empress Dowager intends to set up a porridge shed outside Di'anmen to serve porridge. After the big vat full of porridge and rice, food was released for the refugees who came after hearing the news.

She Shuxian, as the host of the porridge, would inevitably have to say some scenes before the porridge. Fortunately, although the scene was crowded, it was considered orderly. .

Seeing the hungry faces of the refugees, She Shuxian couldn't help being pitiful, and said, "This is a prosperous age, but..."

"The empress is kind, but the servant feels that this kind of thing is inevitable." Rong Wan said, "God is not happy, if it doesn't rain or has to send floods, the common people can only starve and suffer."

"That's right. Although the emperor is a real dragon emperor, he is not a real dragon after all. He can't really control the wind and rain and control the weather."

She Shuxian looked at the victims below with pity, who were punching and fighting to get the steamed buns first, and thought, artificial rainfall has indeed changed a lot of things.

Like everyone in this era, Rong Wan received the education that the emperor is the emperor and the absolute authority since she was a child. It was the first time she heard someone questioning the absoluteness of the emperor. To protect the master even more.

She Shuxian went back to rest in the pergola after feeling the pain of the rise and fall of the people, and was asking Zhen'er, "When will Fu Heng and the others arrive?" when a commotion broke out below.

The reason is that there is a ruffian man.

He squeezed into the porridge shed and took a sip of the porridge, then threw the bowl and cursed: "This porridge is as thin as water, and it's still rotten! Do the nobles in the palace treat us like wild dogs on the roadside!"

After the words fell, the people around him began to boo, and there were other accomplices making trouble in the porridge shed elsewhere.

The refugees were already sensitive and irritable, but now that they encountered malicious incitement, they suddenly became angry, feeling that the nobles in the palace treated them like wild dogs, teased them with bad porridge, and used their ugly appearance of fighting for a little food to please themselves.

For a while, the scene was boiling. The eunuchs and maids of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were no match for the rioters at all, and the guards couldn't stop them. The few who took the lead in making trouble even snatched the guards' swords and swiped them across, scaring the maids into a mess. .

Seeing the chaotic situation below, Rong Wan hurriedly protected Concubine Xian, saying: "Your Majesty, the servants will escort you back to the palace first!"

"But--"

She Shuxian knew something would happen today, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

"Your Majesty! Let's go!"

Seeing that the refugees were about to jump over the porridge shed and rush to the pergola, Zhen'er was also anxious, almost knelt down and begged Concubine Xian to return to the palace immediately.

Seeing Fu Heng's late arrival, She Shuxian realized that the situation was not good, and was about to comply with the request of Rong Wan, Zhen'er and others to return to the palace for refuge, but she heard a sound of hooves behind her, followed by a loud shout: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven!" , who dares to be presumptuous!"

She Shuxian raised her head and saw Prince He came riding a fine horse, followed by two teams of guards.

How is it with the prince?

She Shuxian was suddenly puzzled.

At this time, Prince He had already led the troops to the scene, commanded the guards to kill the most quarrelsome people on the spot, and restrained those with strong military skills among the refugees, and stabilized the situation, then said to She Shuxian: "Ms. , my brother is late."

"Xie and Prince rescued in time."

She Shuxian thanked Prince He and asked him to sit down, asking, "How does the prince plan to deal with these people?"

Prince He glanced at the refugees who were kneeling on the floor frightened by the bloody means, and said with disdain: "In extraordinary times, we should use thunder means to kill them all."

She Shuxian shook her head and said: "Prince He, giving porridge at Di'anmen is the Empress Dowager's merit. In order to prevent mutiny, beheading the troublemakers is a last resort. If there is a large-scale killing, it will be a desecration of merit."

"What Concubine Xian said makes sense."

Prince He asked, "What do you want to do with these people?"

She Shuxian said: "I think that the refugees are frightened by their wandering all the way. They may fight to have enough to eat, but it is absolutely impossible to provoke troubles in front of Di'an Gate for no reason! These refugees who take the lead in making troubles are mostly instigated by others. , if you kill him directly without trial, you will let the people behind the scenes get away with it!"

"What are you going to do?"

Prince He looked at She Shuxian with great interest. He knew that this woman was unusual, and wanted to know how she would deal with this matter.

She Shuxian didn't speak, walked up to the refugees who were being controlled by the guards, picked out the man with intact shoes, and said: "These people will be taken to prison for strict interrogation. The rest will be released without charge!"

"Why them?" Prince He asked.

"The refugees fled the famine all the way. When they arrived in the capital, their clothes and shoes must have been torn, but the shoes of these people were all intact, which shows that they are not real refugees."

She Shuxian laughed and said, "I'm not a refugee but I'm among the refugees. Doesn't the lord feel suspicious?"
