Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

After everyone left, Yingluo was still kneeling in front of the coffin, praying silently.Fu Heng also came back and knelt down, and said softly: "Sister, we are here to see you."Are you OK?Erniang, eldest brother, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and juniors, they are all fine, and we and Longer are also fine, don't worry.It was the emperor who asked me to come and see my sister.So he told the details before and after the emperor went to the Changchun Immortal Hall to get sick, and also told what the emperor said to himself.Finally, he said: Sister, Yingluo and I both know that you have forgiven the emperor, but the emperor still wants us to ask him one more question, can you forgive him?As she kowtowed, Yingluo also kowtowed.There was no sound in the tomb, only the slight squeak of the torch burning the rosin.

The two raised their heads, and suddenly found that the oil lamp on the high platform behind the queen's coffin had gone out.The tomb was closed and the wind couldn't blow in, so the two looked at each other in surprise, thinking that this was the answer of the first queen.Yingluo said: Elder sister will definitely forgive the emperor, the emperor is her most beloved person, young master, don't worry.As he said that, he stood up, took the bundle from the ground over there, opened it, and took out a fine Ru Kiln white porcelain jar.

Yingluo put the jar in front of the coffin, and said affectionately: First Empress, sister, these are the jasmine flowers Yingluo collected. After my sister left, I collected some every year. Mingyu also helped to pick them together, and then dried them and put them in this jar Well, it's been eight years now.I know these are your favorite flowers, they are still very fragrant, so I will put them here to accompany you.Now that Mingyu is going to accompany you, Yingluo can rest assured.Then he took out a small glass vial from the bundle, in which were purple tassels soaked in oil.

Yingluo said: "Sister, this is the spiritual herb that Fu Heng picked in Yili, and I made it into flower oil."As he spoke, he took out a small white porcelain dish that was the same set as the white porcelain jar, and poured some oil into the dish. Fu Heng went to fetch the torch and lit it on the oil.Yingluo placed the bottle of oil side by side with the white porcelain jar.Then he took out another letter and said: Sister, this is what the emperor asked me to bring to you.As he spoke, he took out the letter paper, on which was a long poem, Fu Heng moved the torch closer, and on it was the emperor's vermilion brush, Yingluo read slowly:

First, it's best not to meet each other, so you can't fall in love.

The second best is not knowing each other, so can not Acacia.

Third, it is best not to accompany each other, so you can not owe each other.

Fourth, it is best not to cherish each other, so that you can not remember each other.

Fifth, it is best not to love each other, so you can not abandon each other.

Sixth best not relative, so can not meet.

Seventh, it’s best not to make mistakes, so that they don’t make mistakes.

The eighth is best not to agree, so it can be discontinued.

Ninth best not dependent, so can not Xiang Wei.

Tenth best not to meet, so can not meet.

But once you meet, you know each other, how can you meet when you don’t see each other.

Ande and Jun Xiangjue Jue Jue, avoid teaching life and death for love.

After reading it, he smiled and said: Sister, you must be very strange, right?What kind of poem is this? This is a poem written by the sixth Dalai Lama of Tibet Tsangyang Gyatso copied by the emperor.According to legend, before Tsangyang Gyatso became a Dalai Lama, he had a beautiful and intelligent man in his hometown. They stayed together all day long, farming and grazing, childhood sweethearts, and deep love.After Tsangyang Gyatso entered the Buda Forbidden City, he was tired of the monotonous and rigid life of the leader of the Yellow Sect in the deep palace. He always missed the colorful folk customs and missed his beautiful lover. All his poems were written for this beloved person.The poems written by the emperor himself for his sister were incinerated and shown to her before, but this book of poems was newly acquired by him. He just recovered from a serious illness, so he copied this poem and asked Yingluo to bring it to you. He said he understood you. You will also understand his mind.As he spoke, he put the letter paper back into the envelope, approached the torch and burned it on the fire.

When she was doing all this, Fu Heng was always watching her from the sidelines. She would often smile at Fu Heng, and Fu Heng would smile back.

Then she told her sister that the new book of poems was hand-copied by Concubine Rong for the emperor, and then she talked about Concubine Rong's background, appearance and temperament, and that she is now the emperor's favorite pillow, a gentle, kind, beautiful and intelligent woman, and The elder sister is very similar. Fu Heng and himself have been helping her all the time, hoping that she can take good care of the emperor and teach her elder sister to rest assured of the emperor.

With another smile at the end, he said: "Shen Bi, that's Concubine Rong, she also has a sentence that she wants me to bring to you.She says she wants you to forgive her.Sister, what is there to forgive?She came to the emperor's side long after my sister left. If you want to say forgiveness, Ying Luo needs to ask her sister for forgiveness.Then he kowtowed three more times.

Fu Heng put the torch aside, helped her up, and said, "Okay."Then he hugged her in his arms and continued: Sister never blamed you, you did so much for her, for me and for the Fucha family, and gave birth to Longer, we are very grateful to you , You are not allowed to say that again.Yingluo smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I won't talk anymore, isn't it rare to see my sister?"

Before leaving, Fu Heng went to light the oil lamp on the high platform behind the coffin, and then the two bowed down in front of the coffin.After getting up, Yingluo opened her bright and clear eyes like a deer, and said firmly: "Sister, don't worry, we will never let go of the person who designed to assassinate you and the seventh elder brother."

When going out, Yingluo took Fu Heng's arm and walked in the dark tomb passage. The light of the torch kept beating, illuminating the scriptures and mantras engraved on the wall. Auspicious patterns such as beads, treasure pestle, lotus, etc. Some of these patterns are connected, some are interspersed, and some are symmetrical.

Yingluo felt warmth and fear in her heart. She always felt that there was a mysterious power in the darkness that was invisible but overlooked and enveloped everything. She imagined that the day when the stone gate was completely closed, there would be a darkness that had been silent for thousands of years. At that time, the emperor She and the empress will be together forever, she and the emperor are married... The tear that the emperor shed on the sick bed is the deep affection buried in his heart...

When leaving Yuling, Yingluo sat in the carriage, hugged Fulongan in her arms, and teased her for a while. Fu Heng saw that she was very happy and very happy.When he came to Yeling today, he was worried that Yingluo would be sad and depressed, but he was finally relieved.Yingluo kissed her son's neck, and the child couldn't stop giggling, Yingluo put her face next to his mouth and let him kiss, Fulongan rubbed her face with saliva.

Yingluo smiled and said to her son: Our Longer's name is so good, it's better that Ama will choose the name!Fu Heng knew that she saw a lot of Long characters in Yuling, Long En Gate, Long En Hall, and just smiled.In the end, Fu Heng coaxed his son to sleep and held him in his arms.Yingluo took Fu Heng's arm and leaned her head on his shoulder.

After the carriage walked for a while, Yingluo suddenly said: "The emperor let my sister live in such a peaceful and holy place. She must be happy. The knot between her and the emperor has been untied, and she will be more peaceful. Now she is just waiting to be with her." Loved ones are reunited.Fu Hengdao: Well, but the emperor, he still has a lot of things to do, my sister understands, and my sister will not blame him.Yingluo said: "Master, you are right, it's good to be alive, Yingluo will remember it."

Fu Heng knew that because of the birth of her son, she cherished it very much and changed many of her original thoughts. It seems that Ye Tianshi was right. After the birth of the child, Yingluo's emotions would return to normal and she would be happier. Looking at her son's sleeping face , My heart was full of pious gratitude, and I kissed the child's forehead.

After the emperor recovered from his illness, he taught Qi Gege to take a look at it. It was evening. When Qi Gege was brought by the nurse, the emperor and Concubine Rong had just finished eating. The nurse said that the child was still sleeping, but maybe She's about to wake up, she'll have to breastfeed when she wakes up, Concubine Rong hugged the child with a smile, and called her when the time came.Then he showed the child to the emperor. The emperor saw that she was fair-skinned and beautiful, but her facial features and face shape were very similar to his own, so he understood why they all said she looked like him.Concubine Rong smiled and said: Looks good, she looks more like the emperor when she opens her eyes.As he spoke, he placed the child in the emperor's arms.

The emperor held the child, looked at it for a while, and suddenly said: If her mother-in-law was you, she might be like this.Concubine Rong understood that the emperor meant that she did not look like Wei Mei, so Concubine Rong could treat her as her own child.The emperor suddenly brought up this matter again because he told the emperor, empress and concubine Shu that they laughed at him for not being able to have children, so he smiled sweetly, touched him on the shoulder, and said: Your majesty, don't say such things again.If you say that, if concubine Ling hears, she will be very sad.The emperor sighed softly.

Concubine Rong looked at the child and said: Your Majesty, don't feel sorry for me anymore, the Emperor's child is Shen Bi's child.I have fifth elder brother and Ann.You like them both, and neither of them has a mother, so we treat them as our children.The Emperor smiled and nodded.While talking, the child woke up and slowly opened her eyes. The emperor saw that they were a pair of big black and white eyes, and they looked like himself, so he stretched out a hand to tease her face.The child immediately smiled.

The emperor was very happy, and looked at her again, so he picked her up and kissed her on the cheek, and the child immediately burst into tears.Concubine Rong hurriedly asked Li Yu to call the nanny, and then took it from the emperor's arms to hug her. Maybe the child still had some memories of her, because she had only hugged her a few days ago, maybe because of the fragrance on her body, the child immediately hugged her. He stopped crying and looked at her with tears in his eyes.Concubine Rong was very happy and looked at the emperor in surprise. The emperor was also very surprised and smiled at her. Concubine Rong walked slowly while holding her in her arms, teasing her, and said in her mouth: Baby, be good, be good.The emperor looked at her and became very dazed again.

After the wet nurse took the baby down, Concubine Rong approached the emperor, who pulled her into his arms and said in a low voice: How can there be such a beautiful mother like you in this world?Concubine Rong smiled and kissed him on the cheek.The emperor then began to kiss her.Li Yu and Caiyun immediately backed out with a smile.After a while, the emperor let her go and said, "Where are Fu Heng and the others?"Concubine Rong said: "It's been four days since I left, today must be paying homage to the former empress in front of the mausoleum."The emperor was a little sad.Concubine Rong said: Your Majesty, it is warm today, Shen Bi and you go outside for a walk.

The two wore cloaks, and the emperor took Concubine Rong's hand and walked along the south bank of Houhu Lake.Concubine Rong suddenly leaned on the emperor's arm and said: "Emperor Niang called me again today."The emperor asked: What did the empress mother say?Concubine Rong said: Shen Bi thought she was angry with me, so I didn't go to the Changchun Immortal Hall for several days, afraid that she would feel unhappy seeing me.The Empress called Madam Liu to call me today, and I was also a little nervous.But Queen Mother seemed to have forgotten what happened that day, and only asked some questions about the concubine Ling and Qi Gege.The emperor said: Oh, these days I am busy dealing with the piled up papers, so I didn't go to pay my respects to the empress.Is she okay?

Concubine Rong nodded and said: "Okay, the emperor can rest assured."She asked Shen Bi to read the scriptures with her.The emperor patted her and held his hand, and said with a smile: "Then I can rest assured. I said that she likes you very much. She said that you are for your own good."Concubine Rong said: "Emperor Niang likes Qigege very much, because she looks like the emperor."

The emperor said: "The old man just likes children, and the Queen Mother likes daughters. Because of peace, she also brought Hong Zhou's daughter in to raise her."Concubine Rong said: But I haven't heard her mention Wugege, and I haven't seen Wugege either.The emperor let out a "huh" and remained silent.Concubine Rong felt something was wrong and asked: What's wrong?

The emperor said: Doctor Liu came back to me today, saying that Zhaoyang has not been well.Concubine Rong was taken aback and looked at the emperor.The emperor said: "She doesn't breastfeed very much, and she doesn't sleep well. Last time I saw her look thin and weak."Concubine Rong sighed, and said: The Empress must be anxious, no wonder Shen Bi went to pay her respects two days ago, she seemed to be out of her mind, and didn't show Wu Gege.The emperor was silent.Concubine Rong suddenly remembered that the Empress Dowager said that she was with An Lai, that she had been sick since she was a child and felt that she couldn't support her, and she was shocked again.

At this time, in the Qiyun Building where the moon opens the clouds, Zhen'er is taking off her make-up for Queen Nala and going to bed.Seeing that Nala was in a low mood, she was upset that she sent Fu Heng's family to Yeling because of the emperor's illness, and Chengqian Palace didn't know the cause of the emperor's illness, so she comforted her and said: "Madam, this means Concubine Rong That's what happened with the emperor.Nala didn't answer, but said: that year, I went to Yuling with the emperor to bury Fucha Rongyin.Zhen'er said: "I still remember, I didn't see the underground palace, but the outside is so gorgeous."Nala sighed, "It's just a cold tomb."Zhen'er didn't know what she meant, and knew that she was worried about Wugege, so she stopped talking.

Early the next morning, Concubine Rong went to read scriptures with the Queen Mother as usual.After reading, she took out a piece of paper from her bosom, and said to the Queen Mother, "Emperor Niang, Chen Bi heard from the Emperor that Wu Gege didn't sleep well, and we have a prescription for treating children who wake up from a startle in the medical book. It is copied on this paper, you should have a look at it first, and then hand it over to the imperial physician for examination, and if it is available, please send it to the empress for a try.

The queen mother looked at her without saying a word.Concubine Rong looked at herself and asked: Empress Empress, is there anything wrong with Shen Bi?The Empress Dowager said: "Son, Queen Mother knows that you have good intentions, but it's better not to send your prescription."Concubine Rong instantly understood what the Empress Dowager meant.The queen mother said again: "My child, don't go to see that child, lest other people be overwhelmed."Concubine Rong nodded and accepted the prescription.

After Concubine Rong left, Nanny Liu came up and said: Are you really that worried?The Empress Dowager sighed, and said: "I said at that time that people have their own destiny, and you heard what Imperial Physician Liu said.Nanny Liu also sighed, and said: "Even the imperial physicians dare not tell the queen, nor the emperor. I told you earlier because I was afraid of taking responsibility."

The queen mother said: "She conceived this child by drinking medicine."Mother Liu was taken aback, and asked, "How do you know?"The queen mother said: Yuan Chunwang asked Tian to go in to find the medicine, and Tian Jin went to look for Hu Shijie.Mother Liu was taken aback, and said: You... The Queen Mother shook her head, and said: By the time I know, the child will already be born.

Mother Liu thought to herself, it must be when the Queen Mother went to Changchun Garden to worship Buddha in April, Eunuch Hu told her, and after a long silence, said: "Are you going to tell the emperor?"The queen mother shook her head and said: Forget it, because the thirteenth elder brother, she is very sad, and the fourth elder brother, she is still good to the child.Mother Liu said: "Then what do you want to do?"

The queen mother said: The emperor once told me that Ye Tianshi said that she could no longer raise children.This child, let her go.Nanny Liu said: So you are only worried about Concubine Rong.The Empress Dowager nodded and said: "Shen Bi can't be involved in this matter, I won't be able to tell in the future, but I don't have the heart to tell the Emperor in advance, after all, I am a family."Nanny Liu nodded: Your old man is merciful.

The Empress Dowager sighed a long time and said: At that time, the late Emperor was jealous of Qian Shi. I don’t think she would live long anyway. I only had He An all the time. She was weak, so she wanted the Emperor to come, but in the end I was the one who felt sorry for the Emperor.Nanny Liu said: "Don't think so, without you, the emperor and his mother-in-law would not be where they are today."

The author has something to say:

[Historical origin] In the 17th year of Qianlong, when Empress Anfucha was enshrined, Empress Nala and Concubine Jia accompanied Emperor Qianlong to inspect the Yuling Underground Palace.It can be seen that the sons of Concubine Jia are on the candidate list for the heir to the throne, namely the fourth elder brother, the eighth elder brother, the ninth elder brother and the eleventh elder brother.Concubine Jia's status is so important. Apart from being the old man of Qiandi, she is also very favored because she gave birth to four sons. She was only a noble concubine before she was alive, but she used the same court crown as the queen, and was finally buried in the imperial palace. Mausoleum Palace.
