Dressed as Concubine Xian [Comprehensive Yanxi Palace]

News soon came from Eunuch Sun's office that the matter with the bat had been settled.

Concubine Chun couldn't help showing a smile.

According to her calculations, this matter will soon rise from Chuxiu Palace. After all, the imperial concubine has been favored for many years and has developed a domineering character, and there is no room for sand in her eyes.

however--

The bat incident did break out as expected, but the cause was in the Changchun Palace!

……

……

On this day, Wei Yingluo was counting the winter charcoal given to the Changchun Palace by the House of Internal Affairs in the courtyard. When she saw a black thing falling out of the charcoal, she said angrily, "What is this!"

"Miss Yingluo, the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepares tens of thousands of catties of charcoal for the winter every year. With such a large amount, it is inevitable that some unclean charcoal will be carried in. Don't be angry, girl."

The little eunuch said flatteringly according to the usual practice.

Wei Yingluo didn't want to be angry with the little eunuchs at first, but she was born as a embroidered girl, her eyes were better than the average person's, and when the black thing fell out, she could tell it was a dead bat. Not only did the empress lose her little brother when she fell from the building, but the empress herself was also unconscious for many days, she couldn't get out of her breath immediately, and reprimanded: "It's not careless to drop a dead bat out of the charcoal! It's not clean! It's clearly Deliberately want to curse the empress!"

"Miss Yingluo, this...this...slave really doesn't know anything! Miss Yingluo...Miss Yingluo...you can't just ignore death!"

At this time, the little eunuch also remembered that the queen accidentally fell from the building because of the bat crashing into the palace banquet, so she knelt down in fright, trembling like a cicada.

Seeing the little eunuch trembling violently, Wei Yingluo thought that he was just a eunuch running errands for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and could not do the vicious thing of putting bats in the charcoal to curse the queen, so she wanted to spare him. Said: "You kneel first! Wait for Concubine Xian's hair!"

"Slave...slave..."

The little eunuch was so frightened that he lay on the ground and dared not move.

Wei Yingluo walked to the palace gate, bowed to She Shuxian, and said, "Concubine Xian, you came just in time. The servant was just counting the charcoal sent by the House of Internal Affairs for the winter, and found a dead bat in the charcoal. This is clearly a curse. Empress!"

"bat?"

She Shuxian was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the bat crashed into the palace banquet and caused Empress Fucha to fall from the building and was injured. She said, "Who is so bold to put bats in the charcoal!"

"The slave doesn't know, but the slave kept the charcoal-delivering little Dezi and handed it over to the empress."

She Shuxian nodded and said, "You've done a good job. The queen just recovered from a serious illness and needs to rest. There's no need to bring such dirty things to her!"

With Empress Fucha's character, even if she knew that someone in the palace bribed the eunuchs to put bats in the charcoal sent to Changchun Palace, she would just turn the big thing into a small thing, and swallow it in her stomach.

She Shuxian likes Empress Fucha's gentleness and generosity, but sometimes feels that her excessive gentleness will only fuel the arrogance of the wicked.

Wei Yingluo obviously also understood the queen, and knew that getting the matter in front of the queen would not only make the queen unhappy, but not allow the villain to get the punishment he deserved. After getting She Shuxian's promise, she said, "Then servant will go and check the Guodong charcoal again. If there is any The ones on the side will be handed over to the empress for disposal!"

"Go."

She Shuxian watched Wei Yingluo leave, and walked into the bedroom under the leadership of Mingyu.

……

After this period of recuperation, Empress Fucha was able to walk slowly on crutches. Seeing Concubine Xian enter, she smiled and said, "Sister Concubine Xian has worked hard during this period of sister's illness."

"It's all the job of the courtiers and concubines, there is no such thing as hard work."

She Shuxian stepped forward, supported Empress Fucha who was sweating profusely on her forehead, and said, "Your Majesty is recovering very quickly."

"Because I don't want to continue watching you and worry about me."

Empress Fucha took a breath and said, "Sister Concubine Xian, did I hear you talking to Yingluo in the courtyard just now?"

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent someone to bring winter charcoal, and Yingluo is checking it out," She Shuxian said, "I see that she handles things neatly, so I complimented her."

"Yingluo is quick and considerate in handling things, but unfortunately I don't have a younger sister..."

Empress Fucha was a little sad.

She Shuxian took advantage of the situation and said: "If you don't have a younger sister, you can take them in as younger siblings. I heard that Master Fu Heng has a lot of affection for Miss Yingluo, and even refused the emperor's marriage offer for Miss Yingluo. That's why the emperor was furious and demoted Yingluo. library."

"...There is indeed such a thing."

Empress Fucha's complexion became heavy, she took the ginseng soup from Mingyu, and said helplessly: "That day, the emperor lost his temper in Changchun Palace, saying that Yingluo secretly communicated with the guards of Qianqing Palace and violated the law. According to the palace rules, Yingluo will be executed! In fact, we all know that the emperor is angry that Fu Heng would refuse a marriage offer for a mere court lady, and would rather be punished and kneel in the Hall of Mental Cultivation than change his mind."

"The emperor has always been respectful, and Mr. Fu Heng is his most promising subject. This refusal to marry is indeed a bit..."

"That's right, the emperor hurt face, and couldn't bear to force Fu Heng, so he could only cast his temper on Yingluo."

Empress Fucha put down the ginseng soup, and said: "Since I know that Yingluo and Fu Heng have friendship with each other, I want to fulfill them, but I don't know how to make the emperor nod."

"The emperor cares about face. If we can let Yingluo have a decent background, the emperor will no longer object to this marriage."

"This is indeed a good way, but which old family is willing to do this kind of favor?"

Empress Fucha was a little moved.

She Shuxian said: "The concubine thinks that the Guerjia family may be willing."

"Why the Guarja family?"

"The Guerjia family is one of the eight old surnames. It has been born in imperial courts such as Fei Yingdong and Aobai. The emperor's Wen Hui, the noble concubine, and Prince Heshuoli's heir Fujin are also Guerjia's family. It's a pity that when Shizu was alive, nobleman You Qi misbehaved, made noise outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and was beaten to death with a random stick. Therefore, after the emperor ascended the throne, no Guarjia family was selected into the harem."

"There is indeed no Guarja family in the harem today."

She Shuxian said again: "The concubine thinks that if he can ask the imperial concubine Wen Hui to accept Yingluo as a righteous daughter, because of the emperor's filial piety to the holy grandfather, he will definitely not blame Yingluo for the past. At that time, Fu Heng will make another contribution. Then you can justifiably ask the emperor to marry you."

"Indeed, if it is the empress dowager Wen Hui's face, even the empress dowager must give in."

Empress Fucha was moved by She Shuxian.

She Shuxian chatted with Empress Fucha about some trivial matters in the palace, and left when she saw that the empress was tired.

When leaving the Changchun Palace, She Shuxian also took away the little eunuch who had been sent to Dongtan by the House of Internal Affairs.

Concubine Xian is a concubine appointed by the Empress Dowager to assist the Empress in managing the harem. The affairs of the House of Internal Affairs are under her jurisdiction. Naturally, no one is curious about taking away the young eunuch who committed the crime.

……

……

At the Chuxiu Palace, Zhilan counted the charcoal for the winter, and unexpectedly saw a dead bat in the charcoal. She immediately became angry and scolded: "What does the House of Internal Affairs mean! How dare you neglect our Chuxiu Palace! Don't be afraid Are you on the board!"

"The slave is just an errand, how would you know that there is entrainment in the charcoal, sister Zhilan, please spare the little one!" The little eunuch begged on the ground.

However, Zhilan was relentless and insisted on bringing the bat to the imperial concubine to hold everyone accountable.

The eunuch on errands suddenly groaned, grabbed the land with his head, and begged Zhilan to show his noble hand: Who doesn't know that the imperial concubine has a domineering temper, if she knows that there are bats in the winter charcoal, she will definitely send all the eunuchs involved in this matter to him The Punishment Division will punish you severely!

"Sister Zhilan, please do me a favor and let us go!"

The little eunuch cried until tears flowed.

Seeing that the little eunuch was crying pitifully, Zhilan wanted to let them go, but at this moment Concubine Gao came out hearing the noise in the courtyard, saw the little eunuch kneeling in front of Zhilan and weeping bitterly, and said, "The great sun is crying!" What mourning! Do you want to curse Bengong!"

"Minions don't dare! Minions don't dare!"

The eunuchs kowtowed again and again.

Zhilan walked up to Concubine Gao with the bat in her hand, and said, "Your Majesty, I found this thing after counting the winter charcoal sent by the House of Internal Affairs."

"This……"

When Concubine Gao saw the dead bat, she couldn't help but think of the night when she deliberately attracted the bat to crash into the palace banquet. Her heart trembled, and she almost fell down. Fortunately, the maids with sharp eyesight and hands quickly caught up, so they didn't fall down.

As the concubine's confidant, Zhilan saw that the concubine lost her composure suddenly, and knew that the concubine was aroused by the dead bat, so she immediately scolded herself for being negligent, allowing outsiders to take the opportunity to hurt her master!

In order to cover up the imperial concubine's gaffe, Zhilan said viciously: "My lady, this bat came here strangely, I suspect that someone in the palace used witchcraft to harm my lady!"

"Witchcraft and sorcery..."

Concubine Gao Guifei read these four words once, and said: "How dare this servant send the objects of witchcraft to Chuxiu Palace, he clearly intends to curse this Palace! Come on, drag him down and send him to the Palace of Punishment—— "

"Miss!"

Zhilan hurried forward and whispered in her ear: "The matter of bats has too much to do with it. If there is a big trouble, it may be bad for the empress."

After thinking about it, Concubine Gao felt that Zhilan's words made sense, so she changed her words and said, "You are not doing well, and I should have sent you to the Department of Punishment for strict interrogation. But I am currently in mourning, and it is not appropriate to see blood, so I will only hit you twenty big boards, small punishments and big punishments! Are you convinced?"

"Thank you madam!"

The little eunuch thought that his life would be hard to save, but he didn't expect that it was just a [-]-year-old board. He was immediately grateful to Zhilan who "interceded" for him, and wished to give Zhilan a longevity tablet when he went back.

After Gao Guifei disposed of the little eunuch, she went back to Chuxiu Palace, but Zhilan did not follow, but stayed in the yard to supervise the punishment, and after beating the board, she said to the little eunuch: "Your Majesty is rare to be merciful, what happened today But don’t say it out loud, if it reaches Mr. Xiao Gao’s ears, there will be good fruit for you!”

"Sister, don't worry, Xiao Cuizi must keep her sister's great kindness in her heart, and her mother's kindness of not killing."

The little eunuch suffered twenty boards and his butt hurt badly, but he still tried his best to smile and express his gratitude to Zhilan.

With a few words, Zhilan fooled the little eunuch into letting him take the initiative to promise to keep her mouth shut, feeling a little proud of herself, sent the little eunuch away and returned to the imperial concubine to report to her.

The author has something to say:

The episode where Lady Qi was beaten to death is from "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

The imperial concubine Wen Hui mentioned at the same time was Kangxi's concubine, who lived to the 33rd year of Qianlong, and another Kangxi empress who lived to the Qianlong dynasty was Tong Jia, who died in the eighth year of Qianlong.

In addition, historically, there have always been two theories about Fu Heng's wife, one is the Sitara family, and the other is the Guarja family.
