[Qing Chuan] Notes on the life of Xilin Jue Luo's

Chapter 038

November 25th is the birthday of the Empress Dowager, and Qianlong's attendant mother was extremely filial and respectful, so the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet was also held extraordinarily grandly.In addition to the harem concubines and elder brothers, princes, ministers and his wife Fujin were also called to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.Minning was wearing auspicious clothes and looked at the cups and cups in front of him. He tidied up his light blue persimmon stalk pattern folded flower vest that was wrinkled from sitting down, and talked to Lan Hui on the side.

"Looking at Lingfei's appearance, I really can't tell that she is a lost person." Lan Hui seemed to be a little hot, her face was flushed.The charcoal pots in the palace were very hot, and there were several pots of Baozhu camellias in full bloom, and the fragrance of flowers was overflowing under the heating. "I heard that on the day Concubine Shu was canonized as a noble concubine, it was reported in the Palace of Yanxi Palace that a maid broke the furnace Jun green gold and blue octagonal string vase bestowed by Emperor Amaqin. It is extremely rare and rare. Only the emperor Mamo, Huang Erniang, Concubine Yu, Concubine Shu and Concubine Ling have it. It can be seen how "careless" the maids around Concubine Ling are. Fortunately, Huang Ama didn't blame, otherwise, ten heads would all be dead. Not enough to cut."

"That also shows how much the concubine Ling is favored." Minning said meaningfully.How could she not understand what Lan Hui said?The other main empresses are all called concubines, but after the partial birth, the concubine Ling is only called empress in a strange way.That's because the concubine Ling used to be the foot-washing maid of Aunt Lan Hui's Empress Xiaoxian, but now she is the concubine who favors the sixth palace. , Lan Hui don't worry about it.It is impossible to say that Concubine Ling didn't have that kind of careful thinking. After being a low-level court lady beside Empress Xiaoxian for several years, she naturally wanted to find her sense of presence in the people of Fu Cha's family.Fortunately, Lan Hui hardly ever went out of the house recently, so she didn't give Concubine Ling too many opportunities.

"Actually, I see everything clearly." Lan Hui replied with a look of "you and I understand", "Sixth Master has also been thinking about it recently."

Minning raised his wine glass and touched Lan Hui. The quilt was filled with rose honeydew, not wine, so it didn't matter if they drank a little more.Moreover, roses can beautify the skin and reconcile qi and blood. When made into honeydew, it is sweet and delicious. It is Minning's favorite drink.After having a drink, the stage was replaced by a luthier playing "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix". This very festive piece also signaled the end of the troupe's performance, and it was time for you elder brothers to present gifts.

Although Minning was in the palace, the little eunuch who went out to buy things was not vague at all.In addition to the usual jade ruyi and coral trees, Minning also had people collect the word "Fushou" written by dozens of great calligraphers, and embroidered a screen as a pattern, with five bats on golden nanmu. Shou's sculpture is even more original.

The Empress Dowager was very happy. She hoped for a long and safe life when she was old, and she gave Minning a white jade inlaid with lotus pattern Jade Ruyi and a pair of mutton fat jade inlaid with red jade that the late emperor gave her. The sapphire butterfly loves the flower and the golden silk hairpin; and Yong Qi is rewarded with a pair of emerald-carved double badger pendants that were also worn by the late emperor.For a time, the fifth elder brother and the young couple had unlimited scenery.

Qianlong was happy to see the queen mother, and he also rewarded a lot of things.Anyway, he has a lot of good things in the bottom of the box, so naturally he doesn't feel bad.

Minning stood up and thanked the Queen Mother and Qianlong for the reward, and accidentally glanced at the Queen's face, feeling that this time seemed to be too good.

The Empress doesn't hate Concubine Yu, nor does she hate Concubine Yongqi. The only person she dislikes the most is Concubine Ling, who seduces the Lord, peeps at the emperor, interferes in government affairs, and likes to apply eye drops in front of the emperor. Obviously, everything can be demoted Even the crime of breaking into the harem, but the emperor just liked her tone, so he just let her go.Seeing that Concubine Ling is now favored by the rain and dew alone, the concubines in the harem are looking forward to the emperor's arrival day by day, their eyes are shining, but the emperor still lingers in Yanxi Palace and is reluctant to come out. Good news will come from the lowly maid again.

The empress knew that she was old and decrepit, and her temperament was not flattering, so she had gradually lost her desire to compete for favor.But her Yongzheng is the eldest son, seeing that there are many grown-up and talented elder brothers in front of her, and the concubine Ling who is six points like the emperor Yongyan in the back. What should I do?She is straightforward, but she is not a stupid and ignorant woman. The queen's position looks good, but the Qing Dynasty is not without precedents for abolishing empresses.

But today's Queen Mother's birthday made the Queen's eyes shine.Yongqi, the son of Imperial Concubine Yu, the adopted son of Empress Xiaoxian, is knowledgeable and talented, and she is also very good at working in the Ministry of Rites.Although the queen didn't like Qianlong, she knew his temperament very well. Yongzheng's mediocre aptitude could not catch Qianlong's eyes, but if she could win Yongqi over, it would be different.Among so many elder brothers who grew up, Yongzhang has been reprimanded and has long since extinguished his ambition; Yongxuan's talents are not shown, and the emperor has no patience with him; Likes and dislikes, after all, they can't compare with Yongqi.And Yongzhen also told her that among so many people in the study, only this Fifth Brother treated him the best.

However, the emperor is still strong and strong, so he is not in a hurry.The queen raised her eyelids and glanced at Yongqi who got up to thank her, and Wu Fujin, let's take a look, she still has her mother-in-law there.She wouldn't do something like Lingfei's "caring for" others with the audacity to know that her mother-in-law is still there.

Seeing Concubine Ling staring helplessly at Concubine Qing interacting with Elder Brother Fifteen but unable to do anything, the Queen smiled in relief, and started talking to Prince Fujin with a wine glass.

Minning waited restlessly for several days, seeing that the queen didn't move at all, so she slowly calmed down.Speaking of which, the queen treats all elder brothers equally, without prejudice, and has a good share. Every prince's birthday is thoughtful, and the mother is given a suitable gift, which is more competent than Qianlong's Huang Ama who only rewards randomly. , so Yongqi often asked Minning to pay the queen well.But facing the queen's indifferent face, even if Minning wanted to get closer, he was powerless.

One day in mid-winter in December, King Fujin of Xunjun entered the palace to pay his respects. It happened that all the concubines were still there, so he sat down and chatted with everyone.

Seeing Mrs. Borzigit coming in, the queen mother asked, "It's rare to see you, is your mother okay?"

Mrs. Borzigit replied with a smile: "Emiang is in good health, the ex-son and granddaughter-in-law took the child to show Emiang." The Emianang she was talking about was Princess Shushen.

"It's winter, carefully freeze Ai's great-grandson." Although the queen mother said so, the gentle smile on her face couldn't be concealed.The two children of Prince Ding Yonghuang have already entered the upper study, and it is not common to see them often. Due to various reasons, the married princes have not given birth to offspring, and there is no child around the Queen Mother. lonely.

"Speaking of which, the Empress Dowager may not have seen Mian En and Mian De for a long time, why don't you ask them to come and have dinner with the Empress Dowager after class?" After Wen went to elder brother's office, she was in such a mood, and she simply suggested, "I remember that Fukang'an used to like to eat lion's head with stewed crab powder from Huang'eniang's place the most, so I can call him together."

"Fukan'an's child is smart and clever. Ai's family hasn't seen him for a long time. I heard that he was brought up by the emperor?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile.Fukang'an was raised in the palace since he was a child, just like the queen mother's half grandson.

"I heard that it is true. Because my ex went for a walk secretly, he was punished by the emperor." The queen said.

Min Ning listened sincerely, which shows how much Fukang'an is favored, and the Fucha family is also very prosperous.

The concubine Ling who was at the bottom suddenly smiled, helped the sapphire peacock on her head and shook it with silver steps, and said: "It's been a while since the elder brothers got married, but I haven't seen any good news. The concubine is thinking about the sapphire peacock in the palace. After all, the number of children is less, how about the queen mother point out a few people to serve? And the eighth and tenth elder brothers are about to get married, so there must be someone around to serve them."

Minning felt something was wrong before Lingfei spoke, and even more annoyed after hearing her words.As the aunt, the queen didn't even mention the person to be served by the elder brothers in the queen mother, so why do you, a concubine of the concubine, propose in your capacity!Concubine Yu is not in a hurry, what are you, concubine, rushing up to do!Minning looked sideways, not to mention Borzigit, Ergenjueluo and Lan Hui all frowned, even the queen mother, empress and all the concubines also frowned.Not to mention that these Fujin have nothing to do, Emperor Shujia died of illness in the 20th year of Qianlong, Yi concubine died in the 22nd year, Chunhui imperial concubine passed away in the 25th year, and this year the concubine Xun also disappeared. Do you think you elder brothers are the romantic emperor Qianlong?

"Concubine Ling's words are ridiculous." The queen retorted first, "Now the king of Xunjun and Liu Beizi are keeping filial piety for their mother, and the concubine Xun has just passed away. Now I will point out people to you elder brothers. Maybe outsiders will say that our royal family has no rules. As for the eighth elder brother and the tenth elder brother, the Queen Mother and Concubine Shu are not in a hurry, so why do you, a concubine, rush to help them decide?"

Who said the queen can't speak!Minning's eyes showed admiration, seeing how good the words were, it directly choked Concubine Ling.

"Concubine Ling, there are some things you shouldn't say, and some things you shouldn't talk about, so don't make a sound." The queen mother's face was serious, "Don't think that you can meddle in the affairs of the harem now that the emperor is pampering you. Now that Fengyin is at the Empress's place, Concubine Yu and Concubine Shu are assisting the palace affairs, not you."

"It's the concubine who talks too much, please forgive the Queen Mother." Maybe it was Qianlong's doting during this time that made her really forget about it. After being slapped in the face by the Queen Mother, the concubine immediately knelt down, her face was pale, and she looked very pitiful.It's a pity that the women present are either her competitors, or the people she offended by wrong words just now, no one is willing to intercede for Ling Fei.

Minning pursed her lips, feeling for the first time that Concubine Ling was indeed a very annoying woman.Only Qianlong, who is a flirtatious kind, would like this kind of flirtatious woman, and his vision is really not ordinary!

"Okay, don't cry, let the emperor know that Aijia is bullying you again." The queen mother emphasized the word "you", which shows how Lingfei usually puts eye drops in front of Qianlong, even the queen mother has heard about it, " Aijia is also tired, you all go back."

All the people resigned and left.Concubine Ling came out last, lagging far behind. She gritted her teeth and tore at the veil, and whispered to Dongxue: "After you get back, go and find Imperial Physician Lu, and tell me that I want to diagnose the Ping'an pulse." She I haven't received my monthly letter for more than half a month, but I probably have it.If she hadn't been reprimanded for saying the wrong thing today, she would not have wanted to expose the news of her pregnancy so early, but if she hadn't diagnosed her happy pulse today, the emperor would have left her in the cold after hearing what she said today.

"Yes."

Ha, the concubine is going to be disappointed~ The author has something to say: Hahaha, try to come back with another chapter in the afternoon
