Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

The emperor moved in his heart and nodded.Before going to Yuanmingyuan, Lu Wenhong arranged the "Garden Tour" and "A Dream" he watched in Yujing Garden. Unfortunately, he only watched "Garden Tour" at that time, and things piled up later, so he forgot about it. .For a moment, his mind was full of the night when Xia Tian listened to the opera in Yujing Garden, and then he looked at Li Yu.Seeing his expression, Li Yu understood, so he nodded slightly.Concubine Rong also knew what he meant, but just pretended not to see, and ordered Caiyun to bring someone up to wash the two of them.

At night, the emperor whispered in Concubine Rong's ear: You have become a real favorite concubine during the southern tour, and you even have a son.Concubine Rong knew what he was talking about. In fact, in the past two years, he didn't have so much sex with her, but no one else knew about it, so she mentioned Fukang'an, so as to expose his constant demands on her after the southern tour. He only smiled softly, and said: Since last year, you and Sauron's bodyguard, Mr. Fu Heng, have often exercised your muscles and bones. The concubine sees that it is very good for the body, and the Queen's mother is happy every time she talks about it.The emperor hugged her with a smile and said: You are so kind to me.Concubine Rong said softly: You are Shen Bi's husband, and you are also very kind to Shen Bi.

On the second day, Concubine Rong went to the courtyard where Fu Heng lived in the Xinggong Palace. She sent cakes to Fu Heng and his wife according to the Queen Mother's order, and then told Yingluo that the emperor wanted to send Lu Wenhong to deliver the message on behalf of Xiao Quanzi. , Said that Li Yu would come to discuss with her soon.Yingluo laughed and said, "Your Majesty has a way, and she got things done so easily."Concubine Rong told Yingluo about painting boats and listening to music last night, Yingluo smiled again and said: After so many years, the empress has never understood the emperor, but if my sister is alive, she will be unhappy too.Thank you!Concubine Rong said: The first empress is the elder sister of Lord Fu Heng and his wife, and also the emperor's first wife, so her affairs are Shen Bi's affairs.Yingluo told her about her re-pregnancy, and Concubine Rong smiled and said: Congratulations, my lord and madam, I will tell the emperor later.

After Concubine Rong left, Pearl said to Yingluo: This Concubine Rong is really a smart and capable person, I see that she looks exactly like Master.Yingluo nodded and said: That's why I told her all the bad things the queen did in the harem.If back then, my sister was just like her, and now our family is still neat and tidy.Knowing that she was feeling sorry for the Empress Empress again, Pearl turned around and said: Master, are you satisfied with Xiaoquanzi's errand?Yingluo said: Well, that is the emperor's eyeliner in Jiangnan, Jiangning weaving is the emperor's cronies.Pearl was taken aback.

Seeing that she was frightened, Yingluo smiled and stroked her hand, saying: What are you worried about?There is an emperor behind him!And adults and me too!Pearl heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: So he knew, but he didn't tell me, because he was afraid that I would worry.Yingluo said: "Although his official is not very big, he was appointed by the emperor himself. You just need to rest assured."Pearl asked again: Why does the master want Xiao Quan to take this job?Yingluo smiled and said: This is not me, this is the emperor.Seeing that she refused to speak, Pearl also smiled and stopped asking.

After Fu Heng came back at night, Yingluo told him what Concubine Rong said during the day, Fu Heng just smiled and said nothing.Yingluo put her hand on his shoulder and said, "How did you let the emperor send Xiao Quanzi to do that?"Fu Hengdao: When Brother Tuoyong went to Beijing last year, I thought of Xiao Quanzi. Later, I went to Xianliang Temple to visit him, checked the movements of the lamas, asked about the situation in Jiangnan, and then went to discuss the matter with the emperor.If you want Xiao Quanzi to settle accounts, that's overkill.I think the emperor and I have the same thoughts.Yingluo said: I didn't expect the emperor to be so fond of Xiao Quanzi. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't know that Jiangnan weaving is the emperor's eyeliner!Fu Heng only smiled and said: Since the emperor came to the throne, he has long been regarded as an eyeliner, and all levels and places can give the emperor a secret.Although weaving still employs cronies, it is mainly because it is related to the emperor's private affairs.The emperor sent Xiao Quanzi, probably because of you.

Yingluo nodded with a smile, and then said: I taught Xiao Quanzi how to do accounts and keep accounts, not how to teach him how to be an accountant in a writer, so it will be useful now!Because Xiaoquanzi will go to Jiangning to take up the post of treasurer, responsible for the cashier of the Weaving Mansion's property, so Yingluo said this.Fu Heng pulled her down, pulled her into his arms and sat down, then gently stroked her lower abdomen, and said: Don't worry about those things anymore, the emperor and I will figure it out.Yingluo also touched his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, our little master and big master will always come first."Fu Heng whispered in her ear: Aren't you the master of our family?Not only does it belong to our family, but it is not an exaggeration to say that it belongs to our Qing Dynasty?Yingluo knew that she was teasing herself and the emperor, so she laughed and said: You always bully me!Looking back, I wrote a letter to tell the emperor!Fu Heng smiled and went to kiss her.

The two kissed for a while, and Fu Heng said with emotion: "It's a pity that An'er doesn't have your mother-in-law. If he had, he wouldn't have to enter the palace."Yingluo knew that he was saying that because she was Fu Long'an's mother-in-law, the emperor would not take Fu Long'an as a hostage, and all the children of herself and Fu Heng would not enter the palace, because the emperor would not make her sad, so she smiled and said : An'er's mother-in-law is much more capable than me!Fu Heng knew that she was referring to Erqing and Concubine Rong. Erqing designed the emperor to give birth to the emperor's son, and Concubine Rong now lives in the Hall of Mental Cultivation all year round.So he said: You gave An'er to Concubine Rong, she is very happy, even though she doesn't know anything.

Yingluo smiled and said: Reciprocity is a courtesy.She doesn't have to suffer the pain of childbirth, but she has a son who loves her so much and clings to her, so I envy her!Those in the harem didn't know that An'er was the emperor's son, and he didn't remember Er Qing at all, he just needed a mother-in-law!Beautiful and fragrant mother-in-law!I told Shen Bi about my letter to the emperor, because I didn't want her to misunderstand me and the emperor, the emperor belongs to her, so she can rest assured.It turned out that Fu Heng and his wife also learned from Li Yu that the emperor allowed Concubine Rong to hold Fu Kang'an for a while every day, and they once talked about it jokingly.Fu Heng then said: I'm sorry, Yingluo, for making you work so hard.Yingluo patted him and said: Nonsense, giving birth to the young master's child is not hard, it is the happiest thing in the world!

At night, Fu Heng held Yingluo in his arms and felt that she had lost weight again. Although she didn't vomit, her appetite became worse and she couldn't eat, and her heart ached again.Spring rain started pattering outside the window, Yingluo comforted him softly, and said with a smile: "Going back on the southern tour, Erniang will be happy again when she finds out."Fu Heng hummed, and said: Actually, Erniang has so many grandchildren, including great-grandchildren.Yingluo said: But the young master only has one child, the young master is the most important person in the Fucha family, of course the more children the young master has, the better.Moreover, the young master is not only the most important person in the Fucha family, but also Erniang's favorite son and sister's favorite brother.

Fu Heng was very happy in his heart, and said in a low voice: Yingluo.Yingluo said: "I don't know how beautiful the young master's daughter will be!"Maybe she will look like her sister.Fu Heng hummed, Yingluo knew that he also wanted to have a daughter who looked like his elder sister Rongyin, and the couple never tired of talking about it every time.

After a while, Yingluo said again: "Now that Shen Bi wants to come to me, she just asks the Queen Mother to issue an order. It's really convenient!"Fu Hengdao: The Empress Dowager did it for the sake of the emperor and herself. Mrs. Qian was killed by her.Yingluo said: Well, I don't know what happened to that incident.But apart from killing the mother and seizing the son, the queen mother is naturally towards the emperor, and only when the emperor is good to her can she be good.Fu Hengdao: The empress is also because she loves the emperor.

Yingluo snorted and said: She loves the emperor, so she wants to kill all the emperor's women?This is not called love.From concubine Jia, concubine Gao, to sister, to concubine pure, to concubine Rong, to concubine Jia, the next one might be concubine Ling.Fu Heng sighed.Yingluo said: But she can't do it anymore, her life is her life, her family's life is her life, so other people's lives are not her life?As long as I'm here, she can't cover the sky with just one hand.Fu Heng didn't speak.Yingluo said: "Master, I know, because she is a woman, so you can't do anything."But she really deserved to die.We must avenge our sister.

Fu Heng still didn't speak, Yingluo said: Don't worry, take your time, I'm not in a hurry, neither is Shen Bi.I will listen to you, and when the time comes, we will bring Hong Zhou down with her.Fu Heng put his hand on her lower abdomen, nodded, and said, "I'm relieved, go to sleep."It was a dark rainy night outside the window, and there was a warm embrace on the bed.Every time Fu Heng gave birth to a child, Yingluo's heart was filled with all kinds of tenderness and all kinds of security. She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing Nala's slump, Yuan Chun felt very contemptuous, always complained to Zhen'er, and asked her to persuade the queen.Zhen'er said: "You can't help me, what can I do?"Wu Gege made the empress very worried, and it seemed that she would never have children again, and Brother Thirteen was gone again.Yuan Chunwang said: I really don't understand you women, is a man really that important?Let alone a man like the emperor.Zhener smiled and said: If I think you are not important, what would you think?What a man, that is the husband of the empress, the empress married the emperor when she was a teenager, think about how many years it has been, a one-night couple with a hundred days of grace, let alone a couple of more than 20 years.

Yuan Chunwang shook his head, and said: "What's the matter for more than 20 years, his heart has never belonged to the empress, and what kind of temperament is he, a courageous and smart person like the empress can never see through this point."Zhen'er sighed, and said: "I understand, Ma'am, don't talk about it."Yuan Chunwang glanced at her, and thought to himself: It doesn't matter if Lashi is alive or not, but I have to deal with my affairs, so I can't let her go on like this.Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard Zhen'er say: "Hey, did you hear what I just said?"Hello!Yuan Chunwang immediately smiled and said, "What did you say?"Sorry, I'm still thinking about my mother.

Zhen'er said: "I want to ask my mother to let us adopt a child."Yuan Chunwang immediately frowned and said: How to raise it?You can't raise them in the palace, and raising them outside the palace is equivalent to not raising them. I disagree.Zhen'er said: "That's always a thought. The empress is doing this for the sake of the child."Yuan Chunwang said: "I disagree, you and I don't have the time and energy, we just serve our master well."Zhen'er sighed, since Yuan Chunwang disagreed, she had no choice but to give up.At night, when Zhen'er fell asleep on the bed, Yuan Chunwang thought of the maid he had brought to the Old Summer Palace.

The maid's name is Zi Wen, she has almond eyes and peach cheeks, but she has a clumsy, submissive temperament.Before he and Zhen'er, Yuan Chunwang slept with her, in fact, it was just a hug, but it was inconvenient for the Southern Tour to bring her here, fearing that the queen and Zhen'er would find out.Depending on his mood, Yuan Chunwang would speak softly to her when he was in a good mood, but it would be hard to talk to her when he was in a bad mood.Yuan Chunwang would not do anything to Zhen'er, all anger, resentment, and bitterness, as always, were vented on her body, the purple pattern was often tortured to the point of bruising, but it was covered by clothes, so it couldn't be seen.

She was very frightened. Every time she saw Yuan Chunwang, she was trembling with fear, but she couldn't resist. She thought of committing suicide. Yuan Chunwang knew what she was thinking, and said leisurely one day: Think about your parents and family.So she begged to die.After Yuan Chunwang got together with Zhen'er, she became even more afraid, because Zhen'er was the queen's maid of honor, and she was always in fear.

After Yuan Chunwang went with the southern tour, she was greatly relieved, but she was always in a daze.One day I was walking on the road thinking about it, but I didn't see someone coming in front of me, so I bumped into that person directly.She smelled a burst of fragrance, and knew that it was a woman who bumped into her arms, but she heard a man's voice shouting angrily: Don't die!Dare to hit the nobleman!She didn't dare to look up, and immediately knelt on the side of the road, trembling all over, speechless.The woman said: Lord Yilu, don't make things difficult for her.Then Wen Yan said to her: What are you thinking?Zi Wen still didn't dare to look at her, so she could only say: "Slave... The slave was thinking about his family, he didn't look at the way, and accidentally bumped into the empress, please punish her."

The nobleman said: raise your head and speak.Ziwen looked up, but didn't recognize her.Yi Lu said from the side: This is that noble man.Ziwen hurriedly said: "The nobleman, the slave is guilty."This noble man is Qi Muge.She said: I think you are the first offender, so I won't punish you today.where do you workZi Wen said: The slaves are making tea for the masters in the imperial tea room.When Qi Muge heard this, he became interested, and asked: "Then you must know how to make all kinds of tea. I am fond of drinking pumpkin tribute tea recently. Tell me about it."Then he said to Yilu, "Master Yilu, go get busy, I'm sorry to trouble you."Thank you very much.This palace lady will send her back when the time comes.Yilu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you are serious. Please go ahead, Your Majesty. If you have something to do, just tell your slaves."Said to go.

Qimuge took Ziwen and his maid Tuoya back to Shaojingxuan where he lived.This Shaojingxuan is located to the west of Qingyan in Jiuzhou, very close to the imperial tea house.Qimuge asked her name, and asked her to explain how to brew the pumpkin tribute tea.Ziwen has been in the imperial tea room for more than a year and knows the basics, so he replied: Jingua tribute tea is Puer tea, but it is pressed into a pumpkin shape, and the tea buds are golden in color after being aged for many years, so it is called Jingua.To make tea, you should control the amount of tea, water temperature and time.When brewing pumpkin tribute tea, you must boil water. When brewing, pour it along the wall of the gaiwan. Don’t wash it directly on the tea. Wash it two or three times. In addition to washing away dust, it also has the effect of waking up the tea.After the tea is washed, it is brewed with boiling water, and then it must be covered and stuffed before drinking. The cooked tea needs to be stuffed for a while.

Qi Muge was very happy when he heard this, and said: "Today you hit me, I don't have to punish you, but if I need it, I will call you again to ask about making tea."Saying that, she asked Toya to reward Zi Wen with two taels of silver, and Zi Wen went to thank her.Toya smiled and said: Master, what are you doing?Toya is also a Mongolian, and like other court ladies, she was born wearing three flags.Qi Muge said: Concubine Rong likes to drink pumpkin tribute tea, and she also adds walnuts in it, I am learning.Toya smiled and said: You are so smart!Qi Muge said: "When the emperor and the others come back from the southern tour, they will be surprised. I don't know how to ride a horse!"Let me take a look at the tea that the Empress Dowager, Empress Empress, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Qing like to drink.While the master and servant were talking, it was reported from outside: "Mr. Xin Gui and Mr. Ming are here."So the master and servant stopped talking about it.

After the emperor arrived in Hangzhou, the entire city was heavily guarded, and people who entered and exited the city gate were strictly interrogated.Whenever the emperor rode a horse, he would hold a yellow umbrella, surrounded by armed guards, and there would be chariots and guards along the road.All the officials in Hangzhou were flattering and flattering, and everyone wanted to win face in front of the emperor, and many people even went to see Hong Zhou, because only Hong Zhou would not refuse anyone who came, whether it was long or short, he would meet.The emperor took Yongqi and Liu Tongxun to the Qiantang River to inspect the river defense, and Yongqi became familiar with the high-ranking officials in Hangzhou.

On this day, Yong Qi took the two princesses to have lunch at Liulang Wenying's big restaurant, and happened to meet Mu Shouze, the prefect of Hangzhou, personally leading people to make an inspection.Mu Shouze was surprised when he saw him sitting in the white dragon fish suit with a grand appearance in the lobby. He quietly went up to say hello, and said in a low voice: "Master, I'm worried about your safety, so I'd better go upstairs to the private seat."

The author has something to say:

[Jiangnan Weaving] During the Kangxi Dynasty, weaving was a veritable eyeliner of the emperor. For example, the Cao family, Cao Yin, who everyone is very familiar with, and his in-laws, Suzhou Weaving Li Xun, were Kangxi’s absolute favorites and eyeliners. The Cao family was Coated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.In the Yongzheng Dynasty, Yongzheng began to allow officials at all levels to make secret folds for themselves, and the eyeliner function of weaving gradually weakened. In the Qianlong Dynasty, Qianlong perfected the fold-up system, and weaving was basically only in charge of weaving, but as usual, the emperor still appointed The cronies are directly led by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and even directly led by the emperor.Because of the secrecy system, all officials are under invisible surveillance.
