Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

Although Yilu, the minister in charge of Yuanmingyuan affairs, belongs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he is in two teams with Yuan Chunwang's respect room.Three years ago, when the Empress Dowager went to Yuanmingyuan, the emperor deeply regretted the quarrel between himself and the Empress Dowager. Because the Empress Dowager wanted to live in Yuanmingyuan, he sent Yilu, the Empress Dowager's distant nephew, to take charge of the affairs. The Chenyuan works, and the Fengchenyuan is in charge of the affairs of the Ligong Palace and the Palace of Residence in the world, and it is the same as the Jingshifang, so it is very appropriate to send Yilu as a job.Yilu reported directly to the emperor to let the emperor know about the daily life of the empress dowager. In fact, Yuan Chunwang could not intervene in the affairs of the Old Summer Palace, so he was also a secret agent in the matter of Yuelu Zhiyin earlier.So the emperor went to clean up the Old Summer Palace, Yuan Chunwang and the queen didn't know.

The emperor said again: "I'm tired of waiting in this palace. I ran around, and it's fresher, and my ears are still quiet."The queen smiled inwardly, and thought to herself: It seems that this Concubine Rong is nothing more than that, the emperor said he disliked it, so he disliked it, and she was worrying in vain.The emperor said again: "Chen Bi, I have never been to the Old Summer Palace. I told me the other day that I would go and have a look. The queen arranged for her to live there and told Yilu to clean it up. She also told her to go there. When the time comes, I will come back." , if she wants, let her stay there for a few more days.

The Queen's heart was overwhelmed immediately, it turned out that she was wrong, but after thinking about it, it seemed that she was going to lose weight, and she pushed herself to arrange her. There is still a difference in it, because before the matter of Concubine Rong was directly assigned by the emperor himself, he quickly agreed: Yes, the concubine will ask Yilu to see where it is suitable tomorrow, and tell her to clean it up, and she will be fine in the future. Always ask her to live closer to you so that she can serve you.

The emperor said: "It's fine to go elsewhere, you know, Changchun Immortal Hall... The queen understood, and said: "The concubine knows, the concubine does not move there, the emperor can arrange it yourself."The emperor said: "When I go, I also think about people by seeing things, and I don't want to move there."The empress saw that his tone was slightly sad, and she was very annoyed, but then she thought about it, the emperor trusted herself, so she told herself about the past. After walking, she was the only old person who was around the emperor in the early years, and she felt comforted again, and said sadly: Your majesty, don't think about the past.The concubine saw that Shen Bi was a pure-hearted child, and the concubine was relieved that the emperor was with her.

Early the next morning, after the emperor and Li Yu had left, Zhen'er came into the room and changed clothes for the empress. Seeing the empress beaming with joy, she said happily, "Master, the emperor's enthusiasm for Concubine Rong has passed, and the slave will do her best for Concubine Rong." The master is happy!The queen smiled. The emperor talked to her a lot last night, and later he talked about his two sons. He ate a lot of late-night snacks and seemed to have a good appetite.When he woke up, it was still in the middle of the night, seeing the emperor sleeping soundly beside him, he felt indescribably happy and happy, thinking about how he shed tears for him and Concubine Rong a few days ago, it seemed like a lifetime away.

In the morning, the emperor was refreshed, apparently had a good night's sleep, and asked himself to change his clothes, and finally looked at her with a smile, and said: "You should also often go to the Yuanmingyuan, the scenery there is better than this palace."Thinking of that smile now, her face was still slightly flushed, and she completely forgot the emperor's sneer at the empress dowager a few days ago.Seeing her expression, Zhen'er remembered that she and Yuan Chunwang had moved together in the past few days, and her heart became sweeter, and she said: Madam, does the emperor have any special orders?The empress told her about the emperor's going to the Old Summer Palace today, and Zhen'er said: Well, the emperor hasn't been to the Old Summer Palace for several years.

The queen glanced at her and knew that she was talking about Concubine Ling, because Concubine Ling had been living in Yuanmingyuan for the past few years, so the emperor didn't go, and said indifferently: The emperor regrets that he and the queen mother are not on good terms, and it is not easy to see her if she does not follow Yi's orders. Empress Dowager, lest her old man be unhappy, now that the Empress Dowager has returned to the palace, mother and son are reconciled, so there is nothing to be unhappy about.Knowing that she had spoken inappropriately, Zhen'er blushed.The queen said again: The emperor said that the concubine Ling is gone, and there are still people in the palace talking about her, even the new concubine Rong listened and mentioned it in front of him.He asked Ben Gong to take care of it.Only then did Zhen'er realize that the empress was not talking about herself, and said: "The servant just said that Concubine Rong is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and I don't know where she went to inquire about these things, and everyone is right."

Nala said: Only when someone is talking about it can she know.The first ones should be those people in Concubine Shu's palace. When she came, Concubine Shu was so heartbroken, watching the fireworks on the [-]th night, she even called out the three words "Wei Yingluo".Concubine Jia is peaceful.He said with a light smile.Zhen'er said: "After Lingfei left, the emperor valued you and Concubine Shu the most. You also added two elder brothers at once, but her tenth elder brothers couldn't take care of her. Concubine Rong is here. No matter what, I can't surpass you. Of course she was heartbroken.But she still makes the emperor unhappy all day long, and I don't know what she thinks.Nala smiled and said: She is right, Concubine Rong is going to fall out of favor now, don't you just save me worry?

Zhen'er had already dressed her up, and pinned the jade pendant on her, saying: Madam, this imperial concubine has offended the emperor enough, and others will suffer as well, no concubine Shu or Concubine Rong can escape.Nala smiled again and said: That is a thorn in the emperor's heart.Now, whose hand is this thorn in? Don't you understand?Only then did Zhen'er suddenly realize, and said, "Ma'am, I understand, you mean Master Fu Heng!"No wonder you want her to follow Master Fu Heng!

Nala sat on the bed, picked up the tea bowl, drank a few sips, and said leisurely, "Go and tell Yuan Chunwang, who in this palace will mention the word Lingfei, or the name Wei Yingluo, or be with her." For anything related, the slave will be executed directly, but the master, then...well, let the emperor know, and he will handle it himself.You two should also be careful when talking.Zhen'er hurriedly said: "Yes, the servant understands."I thought to myself: Your Majesty's battle is really big, how long has it been going on, this concubine Ling is really a disaster, she really can't keep it.Suddenly, I heard Nala's saying: "Let's take a look at the greeting card with the prince."Jennifer responded immediately.

In the afternoon, Concubine Rong met Concubine Shu on the corridor and bowed her head to salute her. The two were of the same age and were both concubines, but Concubine Rong came later.Concubine Shu saw that she was still wearing the robes of the Hui nationality, she curled her lips and said: "Sister, your robe looks good, but it's not very convenient.Concubine Rong said: What my sister said is that the emperor likes this, and Shen Bi has to obey the order.Concubine Shu felt even more angry, and walked forward.Concubine Rong smiled and left.

Concubine Rong's maid Caiyun said from the side: Master, this Concubine Shu is deliberately finding fault. After the new year, the emperor has never been to Baoyue Tower, but went to the empress's place twice. Why doesn't she go to the empress?Concubine Rong said: Her tenth elder brother is gone, she must be sad, forget it.Caiyun said: Your Majesty, you are a good-natured person. No one in this palace can worry about it. The empress empress also has a son in the middle palace, who is not like her. The master should have a son as soon as possible.Concubine Rong smiled and said nothing.

Arriving at the Shoukang Palace, Concubine Rong greeted the Queen Mother, and saw Nanny Liu busy making arrangements, so she asked why, and the Queen Mother said: "In a few days, I will celebrate my birthday with An."Concubine Rong saw that she looked sad, nodded her head, didn't ask any more questions, and said something else for a while.Not long after returning to Baoyue Tower, someone came to convey the Queen's order, telling her to move to Cheng'en Hall in Yuanmingyuan tomorrow to serve the Emperor nearby.Caiyun smiled and said: "Is the emperor going to the Old Summer Palace?"I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss my master!

Concubine Rong smiled, combed her hair in the mirror, and looked at herself in the mirror.Caiyun said: Master, what are you thinking?Concubine Rong said: "He."Caiyun looked around and said in a low voice: Master, you have to be careful, the emperor will come anytime, and it's hard to tell who the people in Baoyue Tower belong to.Concubine Rong nodded and said: Caiyun, you are also from the palace, but you are so kind to me.

Caiyun said: "Master, when you didn't come, this servant used to serve Concubine Yi. She died so badly that the emperor didn't even look at her. Later, this servant followed Concubine Yu, and she was not favored. She finally gave birth." The fifth elder brother finally became a concubine, but he was still not favored. Later, he was punished by the empress dowager to leave the Forbidden City.You are here, the emperor somehow selected a servant to serve you, probably because the servant is an old man in the palace, and the servant also figured out the Forbidden City.How nice are you to my servant and my servant's family, and my servant should treat you well.Concubine Rong said: "Is that Gao Guifei?"Caiyun nodded and said: Eight out of ten beautiful women here have vicious hearts, unlike you, master.

Concubine Rong said: In the palace, are children really important?Caiyun said: Of course, if the master has children, he will be promoted to imperial concubine immediately, and his status will be almost the same as that of empress.Concubine Rong smiled and said: "Fifth elder brother, I met him once, he looks very sensible.Caiyun said: After Concubine Qing returned to the palace from the Old Summer Palace half a year ago, he followed Concubine Qing, but Concubine Qing was not favored either.Concubine Rong said: I can go and ask him to come.

Caiyun was surprised and said: Master, the emperor dotes on you so much, you will have many children, what do you want him to do with an unfavored elder brother?Concubine Rong said: "Since he is your former little master, I will ask him to come so that you can take care of him."Caiyun was very moved, and immediately knelt down and said: Master, I thank you on behalf of Concubine Yu!If you ask for him, the emperor will give it to you, and this is also his good fortune.After a pause, he said again: Master, I don't know who he is in your heart, but the person you like must be a good person.

Concubine Rong said: You don't need to know, I... always took him to the grave.Caiyun didn't know about Concubine Rong's past, and had always guessed that he was Concubine Rong's former husband, when she suddenly heard her sad voice, she also sighed in her heart, as soon as she entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, and she remained silent.Concubine Rong suddenly said with a smile: I also like the emperor, you know that.Caiyun said: Your majesty, I hope he can pamper you for a while.

Concubine Rong said: The emperor is a good person, if Shen Bi treats him well, he will naturally treat Shen Bi well.Caiyun didn't speak.Concubine Rong talked about the Queen Mother's affairs again, and asked: "Who is He An?"Why haven't I heard of it?Caiyun said: She is the queen mother's daughter, she died when she was very young.Concubine Rong sighed, and said: The Queen Mother is also very pitiful!Caiyun said: "The queen mother has an emperor!"She is stronger than all the women of the late emperor!

Concubine Rong said: I heard that Prince He's mother is gone, she was struck to death by lightning.Caiyun thought she was very strange. She met Prince He several days ago, and suddenly became interested in Prince He, so she told her some old things in the palace.Concubine Rong said: I understand.Caiyun didn't know what she understood, but the master often only said half of what he said, so she also tactfully didn't ask.So I packed up my clothes and things, and prepared to go to the Old Summer Palace with Concubine Rong's two Hui maids tomorrow.

But in Concubine Shu Palace, it was another scene.Concubine Jia said: Sister, have you heard?The emperor has already gone to Yuanmingyuan, and the one from Baoyue Tower will go tomorrow. You didn't go to the morning meeting in the morning. The queen mother said that no mention of the concubine is allowed in the palace, otherwise the slave will be beaten to death, and the master will also Let's go to the emperor!Concubine Shu knew that this was her own fault when setting off the fireworks two days ago, so she said: No wonder that goblin in Baoyue Tower saw me today and put on a show again!Concubine Jia said: Fortunately, she has no children yet.

Hearing this, Concubine Shu felt like a needle pricked her heart, knowing that she had Eleven Elder Brothers, this was a deliberate squeeze on her, and she said calmly: Can you give birth?It's been so long, even if he dominates the emperor, he can't give birth.You can work hard.Concubine Jia knew that she was suspicious of herself, so she smiled and said: "Sister, after having Yong Xing, I've become indifferent. The emperor can favor anyone. It's only a few years of hard work, and the flowers are not as bright as ever. There will always be someone younger than you who will come." .The empress has two sons, and everyone has stopped. We, Yongxing, will be a prince in the future. My life is at an end. I can talk with my sister, so we can spend time together.

Concubine Shu just felt bored. In this palace, they were talking about holy favors or emperor's heirs. She was so bored that she raised her eyes to see Concubine Jia, only to see her beautiful face, delicate and tender, with the same good color, younger than herself and Concubine Rong. When I was several years old, another thing came to my mind, and I said to Concubine Jia: "My sister is right, who says no, we will often talk together, but I am tired, come back tomorrow!"

After seeing Concubine Jia off, her court lady Chunmei came up, and she asked, "What news is there for the old madam?"Chunmei said: The old lady said that the old lady Fucha didn't say anything, neither said yes nor no.Concubine Shu said: If you can really tell your cousin to the Fucha family, that would be a beautiful thing. Mr. Fu Heng is the emperor's absolute confidant, the number one hero of the Qing Dynasty, the previous empress has been gone for so long, the empress is still here It can't replace her position in the emperor's heart. The Mrs. Zhongyong in front is really unlucky. I said she has a bad face and was born as a slave.Chunmei said: Erqing is dignified and generous, she deserves to be the person next to the empress, the servant looks very good.

Concubine Shu said: "What do you know, she is just occupying the former empress's first lady-in-waiting, and... otherwise, she would not be able to marry into the Fucha family."She looks old-fashioned, and she looks older than Mr. Fu Heng. I see, Mr. Fu Heng doesn't like her.Our Yun'er has only turned 14 years old after the new year. She is young, beautiful, smart and well-behaved. Mr. Fu Heng must be very happy to see her.She originally wanted to talk about Wei Yingluo and Fu Heng's old affairs, but now that the palace has issued a strict order, she retracted her words.

Chunmei said: "Your Majesty is right, but now that there are so many people who want to marry the Fucha family, it might not be our turn, right?"Concubine Shu laughed and said: I will go and talk to the emperor!If the emperor agrees, not to mention Mrs. Fucha, even Lord Fu Heng will not be able to resist the order.
