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

Chapter 054 There is a singer named Yingying

Just after the Empress Dowager's birthday, Qianlong decreed that on the sixteenth day of the first month of next year, the Empress Dowager would be on a tour to the south. Concubine Gui, Concubine Xin, Concubine Ying and Concubine Yu share the affairs of the Six Palaces.Concubine Shu is fine, her son is going to get married in September this year, and she has to urge the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do things well; Concubine Xin and Concubine Yu are a little unhappy, and even concubines can go out with them, why are they newly appointed? But the concubine can't.Later, it was Concubine Shu Gui who persuaded them to make peace, so that they were not reconciled.

If you ask Concubine Shu Gui, instead of competing with so many women for the emperor's illusory favor, it's better to actually hold the power in your hands. It's not always a simple matter to deal with anyone.

Yong Qi is naturally one of the candidates to accompany the driver, and Xiao Baozi will also go south with her, so Minning is even more busy preparing to take the person who goes out with her.Two nuns, four wet nurses, and a large number of maidservants, Mrs. Hu stayed in the palace with Mrs. He as housekeeper, Mrs. Wan Liuha and Mrs. Suo Chuo Luo accompanied him on a free tour of the south of the Yangtze River.Originally Yongqi meant not to bring any side Fujin, but when Minning thought of the southern officials who like to send singers to dancers, he felt that it would be impossible not to bring them. Even if they are not favored, others must think that they are favored. , Only in this way can those who have no wink retreat in spite of difficulties.

"The sixth brother and sister gave birth to a son for the sixth brother. I heard that they made the sixth brother very happy." Minning asked someone to give a car to the house, and when he saw Lan Hui holding the child lovingly in his arms, he joked Said, "I looked at Zhao Fangfujin standing outside, with a sad and helpless look on his face. After all, it is good to have a child, so as to make those Fangfujin and Gege below feel jealous, knowing that this mansion Who is in charge here."

Lan Hui smiled and said, "Thank you for coming to see me." She has a gentle temperament, and Zhao Fangfujin is favored again, so sometimes it is inevitable that she will be proud of her favor.But now that she has a child, those women will be more restrained when the Lord is the most caring. "I've been busy inside and outside these few days, and it's all thanks to Mrs. Zhao."

"She made it for the sixth brother to see." Minning hit the nail on the head, "You are so good at giving birth, and you will be able to take over the Baylor Mansion again after the confinement is over, and clean up all the people who are interested in taking advantage of the time."

"I know." She was not stupid, and Minning understood this reminder.She has lost the opportunity to make a southern tour, so she might as well take advantage of the days when Mrs. Zhao went out with her master to clean up the people in the mansion. She is virtuous, and she will not allow anyone to challenge her Fujin's status and dignity. "I understand your intentions, and I won't make them proud."

"It's good to understand. This is my gift to my little elder brother, you keep it." Minning handed over a set of amber longevity locks, and put them on the side of Lan Hui's bed together with the gift list.The steward of Baylor Mansion was not appointed by Lan Hui, and Minning was unwilling to casually give the gift to an unfamiliar servant, so he directly ignored Zhao Fangfujin's ugly face and walked into the main courtyard of Baylor Mansion with his things.

When Lan Hui saw it, she had made up her mind, and after having Min Ning sent out, she said, "Nurse, the congratulatory gifts brought in today will be taken by you, and there is no need for the housekeeper to take over."

Lan Hui's nanny, Mrs. Deng, looked serious, said "yes" and walked out.

After the Lantern Festival, the southern tour team began to travel southeast via Shandong, and stayed in Shandong for a few days.The weather was still not warm, so Minning wrapped the little bun tightly, and then let the nanny lead him to open the window to see the scenery outside.Suo Chuo Luo and Wan Liu Ha lived in the side room, she didn't care about them, she still received those who came to pay their respects, and those who wanted to go out for a walk asked Yong Qi what they wanted, and then followed their wishes.

"The concubine's master is thinking about Fujin and the little elder brother, and I want to invite Fujin and the little elder brother to come over and talk." Li Mama, who was beside Concubine Yu, came over.

"I've sent a message from Madam I, I'll add some clothes and I'll be there." Yu Jia had just settled down in Shandong, and Concubine Yu said that she missed her and Xiao Baozi, so she must have something to say.Minning put on an orangutan red sable fur cape, and asked Mother Jiang to go out with her holding the little bun.

A warm charcoal pot was burning in Concubine Yu's room, and when Minning walked in, she happened to see her fiddling with the potpourri in the incense burner.As soon as Mian Rui saw Concubine Yu, he rushed over and called out "Mama" sweetly.Although he is staggering when he walks now, he is too domineering to allow Mammy to support him. Nanny Jiang can only spread his arms behind him to protect him, fearing that this little ancestor might make a mistake.

"After all, I still know that Er Niang loves him, and as soon as she sees Er Niang, she leaves me, Er Niang, behind." Minning said with a smile after greeting Concubine Yu.

"Are you still jealous of your own son? I have given you a lot." Imperial Concubine Yu hugged the little bun, "Our Mianrui has grown taller again."

"Children look different every day. My grandfather told me yesterday that I didn't see him in one day. I feel that Mian Rui's appearance is different." Min Ning looked at the picture of grandmother and grandson Cheng Huan, and really thought that Concubine Yu was asking her to come. It was just talking with her, but Concubine Yu unexpectedly handed Mian Rui over to Nanny Jiang, and her face became serious.

"Has Suo Chuo Luo's family been doing well recently?" Concubine Yu asked.

"Everything is fine, the thorns are all put away." Minning didn't dare to relax her vigilance, "She didn't bring Mizusakura with her when she went out this time, but the daughter-in-law has asked Mother He to pay close attention."

"You're right, I've already found out something. This Mizuying's grandmother is the half-sister of Lingbi's biological mother. , so she got married early, and she is still relatives with your concubine." Concubine Yu snorted and said, "The Wei family is really powerful, and it has grown so big in just 30 years. Be vigilant, I'm afraid this relationship will be covered up forever."

It's your concubine again!Minning bit her lip, and said: "I'm so restless even after I've been demoted, I just want to stuff people into my brothers' mansion. The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are also reckless, they won't die after the previous incident Heart."

"If they know that they are desperate and deterred, they won't be them." Concubine Yu raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I'll tell you about this first, keep it in your heart, and discuss with Yong Qi at night how to solve it."

"My daughter-in-law knows."

Before Minning could tell Yongqi what happened today, she saw Yongqi sitting in the room with a gloomy face, and Xiao Luzi didn't dare to lift her head from one side.Minning asked Nanny Jiang to take the little bun down first, went up and poured Yongqi a cup of tea, and said, "Master, what's wrong, you look so ugly?"

"The prefect of Dezhou sent Huang Ama a singer, and Huang Ama accepted it." Yong Qi said with a gloomy face.

Isn't that normal?Zuo Qianlong also collected a lot in the first three trips to the south of the Yangtze River, but he didn't bring it back to the palace in the end.Minning didn't understand why Yongqi was so unhappy, so she asked cautiously, "But what's wrong with that singer?"

"Ever since Huang'eriang died of illness in Shandong in 13 years, Huang'erma has never set foot in Shandong during her southern tour. It can be said that Shandong is Huang'eriang's sad place." "Huang'eriang" in Yongqi's mouth It refers to Empress Xiaoxian, who was also the Fucha family who raised him, "But this year, Huang Ama is uncharacteristically, not only passing through Shandong, but also staying in Shandong for a few days. The songstress who is here is actually the one who looks like the imperial concubine Huixian, and I heard that Huang Ama intends to bring her back to the palace and make her a nobleman."

Bringing a woman from a teaching workshop back to the palace, but also canonization as a nobleman?Qianlong's mind is really funny!Minning was so surprised that he was almost speechless, he hesitated for a long time before he said, "Didn't Huang Mama and Huang Erniang try to persuade her?"

"Huang Ama didn't mention it to others at all, but just called the officials of the Ministry of Rites to discuss the canonization." If he hadn't worked in the Ministry of Rites, he wouldn't have known that Huang Ama had such a "shocking" idea.If this singer is really included in the harem as a nobleman, she will be the lord of the first palace as soon as she is promoted in the future.Is it possible that they will salute and say hello to a woman who was born as a singer in the teaching workshop?Not to mention what the royal family would think, I am afraid that the people all over the world will laugh at their Aixinjueluo family.

"Huang Ama wants to hide the truth from Huang Mama and Huang Erniang? That doesn't make sense." Minning didn't understand. If it was true, the empress dowager and empress would not accept the singer Wouldn't the pilgrimage make the singer laugh and be generous? Did Qianlong really like her or was it just for fun?

"I think that magistrate is very suspicious. He has never held a post in Beijing, so how could he know the appearance of the imperial concubine Huixian, and even try his best to find a woman who is so similar to the imperial concubine Huixian." Yong Qi said disdainfully, " What is it called 'Yingying', it doesn't sound like a serious person."

Yingying?Xia Yingying? !For a moment, Minning thought that he had traveled to "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", coughed and said, "But 'Ying Ying' from 'Ying Ying Yi Smile'?" Could it be such a coincidence?

"The word 'ying' in 'jingying' is good, but it can't be put on the stage when it's put on a singer." Yong Qi quickly calmed down her turbulent mood after being depressed and angry, "in short, this matter is absolutely impossible. She fulfilled Huang Ama's wish. The face of the royal family is important, and I'm afraid I won't be able to keep that woman."

"Even if you do it, you have to be careful. After all, the emperor is new to her now." Minning said, "Do you want to talk to Er Niang about this?"

"Huang Ama ordered you to keep quiet. If it gets out at this time, I'm afraid it will implicate us." Yong Qi became more and more confused about what Huang Ama was thinking. But if a singer is really canonized as a concubine, wouldn't it be a joke for the people all over the world?But Huang Ama didn't listen to persuasion, she decided to go her own way, and even Huang Mama couldn't persuade her.

"Then now we can only see one step at a time." Minning just sighed, and suddenly remembered that, with the empress' temperament, if she really knew that Qianlong wanted to accept a singer into the palace, wouldn't she want to advise Qianlong harshly and desperately? At that time, if Qianlong really acted alone and arbitrarily, it is not impossible to cause a breakup.Thinking of this, Minning shivered.
