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

Chapter 050 Farce

When Minning staggered from the palace gate to the Yonghe Palace in a soft sedan, he happened to meet Fu Changzai and Xin Changzai on the way.The two of them live together in Chuxiu Palace, and they are equally favored. Instead of being confronted by everyone in the harem, it is better to form an alliance and become friends first. With the favor of the two, the concubines in the harem will not dare to do more even if they are jealous.

"Wu Fujin came to greet Concubine Yu." Fu Chang asked with a smile.

"Exactly, where are the two Chang Zai going?" Minning asked with a smile back.

"Concubine Xin is not feeling well. Xin Changzai and I are going to visit Yongshou Palace." Fu Changzai said, "The emperor has decreed that the canonization ceremony will be held in May. We are visiting, and we are also going to congratulate Concubine Xin. gone."

Minning didn't have a deep memory of this Concubine Xin, but only remembered that she was the daughter of Governor Nasutu, a man from Manchuria with a yellow banner, and one of the few Manchu and Mongolian concubines in the palace that Qianlong liked.She had given birth to two daughters for Qianlong in the past, but unfortunately both died in infancy.Concubine Yu told her at the banquet that Concubine Xin fell ill because of overthinking. Could it be that she hasn't recovered yet?Minning nodded, and said: "Then I won't hinder the two of you from staying here. After paying my respects to Er Niang, I will go to Yongshou Palace to see Concubine Xin."

After bidding farewell to Xin Changzai and Fu Changzai, Minning came to Yonghe Palace full of doubts.

At the end of February, the sixteenth elder brother Yongwen contracted a serious illness due to the negligence of his wet nurse. Fortunately, he was safe in the end, but Concubine Yu and Guiren Kang couldn't sleep at night to take care of him, and they lost weight.Minning came to the palace this time not only to pay his respects, but also to deliver some nourishing herbs.

"I heard that Huang Ama has taken a fancy to the former Yipin's younger sister and is planning to bring her into the palace?" Minning asked in a low voice after talking about Xiao Baozi's recent situation.

"Not only the younger sister of Concubine Yi, but also Wu Shi, a court lady who serves tea in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, has been favored by the emperor recently." The emperor has just disposed of a group of dressing families, and in the blink of an eye, he has to accept two more bags. The court lady who was born in clothes didn't know what to do.Concubine Yu sighed, "Seeing that Concubine Xin's health is getting worse and worse, the Emperor is still thinking about accepting newcomers at this moment, I'm afraid it will make Concubine Xin even more sad if word of it spreads."

"Speaking of Concubine Xin, I find it strange. Why is it that she has been sick for so long? Could it be that the imperial physicians in the palace are all vegetarians?" The harem was deep, and Minning had to have another guess.The position of the four concubines will be officially full after the canonization ceremony, unless one of the concubines passes away, it will be difficult to be promoted again.Could it be that someone wanted to be promoted, so they played tricks on Concubine Xin.

"I naturally thought of what you were thinking. There are many people in the Imperial Hospital. It is not impossible if someone does something wrong." Concubine Yu said, "Concubine Xin is not stupid. She is about to go to the canonization ceremony. Either way she'll be fine."

"Maybe I'm overthinking." Seeing that Concubine Yu didn't want to interfere, Minning also changed the subject, "It's just that when I enter the palace today, I have to go to say hello to Concubine Xin."

"Go if you want." Concubine Yu didn't stop her, "Take my precious grandson with you when you enter the palace next time. I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Emiang doesn't want a daughter-in-law now that she has a grandson." Minning joked, "The daughter-in-law will retire first."

"Go."

The Yongshou Palace is filled with a strong smell of herbs and incense, and the mixed smell makes people frown.Minning saw Concubine Xin sitting on the bed with her hair loose, her face pale and pitiful, and after asking for peace, she said, "What's wrong with your empress, you're so weak?"

"It's warm and cold in spring, it's just freezing by accident." Concubine Xin laughed.In the blink of an eye, it has been ten years since she entered the palace, and she is 26 this year.She dedicated her most beautiful years to Qianlong, but unfortunately Qianlong has recently flirted with the Wu family in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and he didn't care to visit this woman who gave birth to two daughters for him.

"Your Majesty, you have to pay attention to your body. The canonization ceremony will be held in two months, and you must meet her in good health." Minning looked at the silk-encrusted red stone incense burner that was still emitting a faint fragrance, "The house Liben has a very strong smell of medicine, why do you still light it with incense? The smell mixed together makes people feel tight in the chest."

Concubine Xin blinked, smiled slightly, and said, "It's just that the maids below are ignorant. Luzhu, pour out the incense."

"I didn't know that Concubine Xin was ill when I entered the palace this time, so I didn't bring anything in." Minning said, "This is donkey-hide gelatin presented by my Zhuangzi in Shandong. Concubine Xin, take good care of your illness, I really hope to see you when you receive the golden book and seal."

"Thank you, Wu Fujin." Concubine Xin stroked her hair, "I'm not feeling well, so I can't welcome Wu Fujin any more."

Minning knew that Concubine Xin must have something to do, so she stood up wisely and said: "I'm afraid there will be trouble again if the little brother at home doesn't see me, then I'll go back home first."

"Okay. Hongyu, send Wu Fujin away. By the way, take the longevity lock in my box, and it's also a little favor from me to my little elder brother." Concubine Xin originally planned to deal with that slave who ate inside and outside today, but Wu Fujin's arrival stopped her plan.But seeing Wu Fujin leave after sitting down for a while with knowledge and interest, she naturally wanted to return the gift.

"I thanked my mother on behalf of my elder brother." Min Ning saw a shadowy person behind the screen opposite the sleeping hall, so he knew that he had come at a bad time, so he immediately asked Shan Shan to take the things and left.

On March 22th, on the day when Qianlong enshrined Yipin's younger sister, Bai Shi, as the resident, Concubine Xin's health finally recovered, and she was even able to come out to meet the new sister. On the [-]nd, the Wu family, who had flirted with Qianlong for a while, finally got his wish and was named Wu Changzai.

"It is said that the two who were sealed are always there, but one is thrown in the Yanxi Palace and the other is thrown in the Zhongcui Palace. Both are places where Huang Ama has not set foot all year round. I look at this canonization, but it is just to appease those who are wrapped. It’s all about your heart.” Min Ning was embroidering a purse pattern with a stretcher, and said to Yong Qi who was beside her.

"The way of the emperor is nothing more than that." Simply put, it is to give a stick and a sweet date. With a new goal, those people will never remember that the emperor once copied and beheaded several coated families.Yong Qi approached Min Ning with a smile, "Is this purse embroidered for me?"

"Of course..." Seeing Yongqi's happy expression, Minning changed the topic, "No. This is for Lefu."

"Le Fu is still young, how can I use a purse?" Yong Qi had to lament that since the birth of her son, her status in Fujin's heart has dropped a lot. What I sent was the belt embroidered for my grandfather at the end of last year."

"Master, are you jealous with Le Fu?" Minning put down the work in hand, and joked with a smile, "Master is three years old this year, and it's shameful to compete with a baby who is less than one year old. ?”

The waiters all lowered their heads and couldn't help laughing. Wuye Wufujin liked getting along like this more and more recently, and they were no strangers to it.

Just when the two of them were still talking sweetly, Madam He came in with a sullen face and said, "Greetings to my lord and Fujin. My lord, something happened in Jingsi Garden."

The smile on Yong Qi's face stopped instantly.Minning also frowned, and asked, "What happened?"

"The water peach next to Fujin was found to be with a cook in the Jingsi Garden's kitchen..." Madam He couldn't say the word "fornication", "so Fujin was caught on the spot. Shuitao cried Saying that I was wronged, I was dying in the Jingsi Garden just now, so Fujin asked for instructions, what should I do?"

"Nonsense!" Yong Qi scolded, "When something like this happens, just kill the couple!"

If something like this happened in the mansion, it would definitely damage the reputation of Prince Rong's mansion if it spread.Minning asked, "How is that cook doing now?"

"I've been tied up and locked up in the firewood room." Madam He said, "It's just that Shuitao is someone close to Fujin. Although the servant has been taken down and gagged, it's recorded in the file after all. Slaves, so slaves dare not make decisions on their own."

Not long ago, she told Suo Chuo Luo Shi to be careful that the water peach around her had unreasonable thoughts, and now this incident happened, was it a play written and directed by Suo Chuo Luo Shi?If it's true, this Suo Chuo Luo family is really a pig teammate, and if there is such a big disturbance, if it really spreads, will Prince Rong's residence lose face?Minning pondered for a moment, then said: "I'd better go over and have a look, I have to deal with it. It's just Mammy, how many people know about this?"

"Not many, there are only three guards who are responsible for the capture, namely Fang Fujin, Shui Ying." Mother He had already counted them before coming, "Those three guards were all trained by my uncle, and they are the tightest-spoken."

"Master will go with you." Yong Qi lifted her robe, got up and walked out the door.

Shuitao was bundled up and put aside with disheveled clothes, her face was covered with tears, and her mouth stuffed with a cloth ball made a sound of "wow" after seeing Minning's appearance, as if she was asking for help from Minning.

Minning glanced at her but remained silent.Regardless of whether she had an affair or not, since she had been caught, her life would be lost.A servant with winking eyes moved two chairs, Minning sat on them, and said directly to Suo Chuoluo: "Even if you want to punish her, you don't have to make such a big show. You don't want to think about your own face, you have to take care of it." Lord."

Suo Chuoluo opened his mouth, and seeing Yong Qi on the side also had a calm face, and knew that he was too ostentatious this time, so he lowered his head and said cowardly: "I know I was wrong."

"Since there are already witnesses and physical evidence, you don't think you have wronged her." Yong Qi said, "It's just that this matter is disgraceful, don't make it public, even if you have a sudden illness and died suddenly. Suo Chuoluo, since these two people are If you catch it, you will be responsible for the follow-up. Besides, if something like this happens to someone around you, you cannot absolve yourself of the responsibility."

"Master..." Suo Chuo Luo's beautiful eyes were filled with tears.

"Shuitao hasn't served by Zan Fujin's side for a long time." At this moment, Shuiying beside Suo Chuoluo stood up and said, "Ever since he found out that Shuitao's whereabouts were suspicious, Zan Fujin transferred her away from his side. You didn’t give up, that’s why things like this happened.”

The moment Shuiying spoke, Minning keenly saw the hatred bursting out of Shuitao's eyes.She flicked her armor and said: "The masters are talking, what are you talking about as a servant? Suo Chuoluo, this is the servant you have trained. No wonder the people around you are so ignorant. Anyway, Shui Tao, I will deal with it myself, you'd better take care of the people around you, don't talk too much when you shouldn't interrupt." Then he turned to Yongqi, "Today the kitchen has made new dishes, let's go back and taste them."

Yong Qi nodded, not paying any attention to Shui Ying's instantly pale face behind her.Nanny He also asked someone to take the water peach away. As for the follow-up, it was beyond Suo Chuo Luo's ability to find out.
