Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

On the second day, Xiao Quanzi brought Yingluo's letter to the emperor.Yingluo didn't know anything by herself, so she only said in the letter that everything was fine for her, and she didn't mention that she would ask the emperor or queen mother to name the child in the future, and she didn't mention that she was seasick and bedridden.That day, Fu Heng asked Ah Zheng to get the pulse and the prescription, and took Xiao Quanzi away by himself, just to hide Yingluo and the emperor.

The emperor read the letter and felt relieved.Seeing him at ease, Concubine Rong was also happy, so she joked about his relationship with Miao Miao that day, asked him how he could hold back, and said that Yong Qi happened to know about it, and came to shame him.The emperor laughed and said: I can't count how many women I have had, and everyone in the world knows it.It means that the two things Concubine Rong said can't help him.Concubine Rong felt angry when she heard this.

The emperor knew what she was thinking, so he stopped talking, turned around and pretended to be asleep.For a long time, Concubine Rong behind her remained silent, so she turned over to look at her, but continued to pretend to be asleep with her eyes closed and turned over, but saw her staring at him blankly through the slits in her eyes, so she continued to pretend to be asleep.Concubine Rong sighed and murmured something, but he didn't hear clearly.Concubine Rong has already turned around and doesn't look at him anymore.He opened his eyes and looked at Concubine Rong's back. After a long time, he called her: Shen Bi.

Concubine Rong didn't move, so he raised his body to look at her, and saw that she was really asleep.Feeling worried, she pressed her face against her back and said in a low voice: Shen Bi, how could I care about that singing girl, I have seen too many, even more than her...a lot.That day... I drank too much, I'm sorry... I closed my eyes as I spoke.After a while, Concubine Rong suddenly said: You missed Mrs. Nalan that day, right?Only then did the emperor know that she was not asleep, and he was very embarrassed to hear her question again, without saying a word.

Concubine Rong still turned her back to him, and continued: "Chen Bi knows it all, so I told you the day before."Then he turned around and looked at the emperor.The emperor was surprised and angry but could not speak.Concubine Rong said: "Your Majesty, just miss it, what can't you say?"You can't tell others, can't you tell Shen Bi?The emperor said: I am not... Concubine Rong smiled and said: I understand.What you love now is Shen Bi.You just don't want to understand why she doesn't like you. You treat her so well, even better than Mr. Fu Heng.

The emperor was at a loss for words.Concubine Rong laughed lightly, and said: Your Majesty, Shen Bi will tell you a story about our place.Once upon a time a grizzled man had two lovers, one young and one old.The older woman thought that if she dated a man younger than herself, she would be afraid of being teased and would have to keep pulling out his black hair whenever he came to her.The young one kept pulling out his gray hairs to hide that she had an old lover.In this way, the two took turns pulling out, and he finally became bald.

After hearing this, the emperor laughed out loud.Concubine Rong also smiled and said: You understand, you are different from Master Fu Heng, he is no better than you.Mrs. Nalan doesn't love him because he is better than you.The emperor felt that her words were very meaningful, and after a long silence, he asked: "Then you... look at Zhen and Fu Heng, who... Concubine Rong smiled and said: "I love you, but I don't love you because you are better than others You, I don’t love you because you are the emperor, I only love you, not an emperor who is better than everyone else.The emperor realized everything in an instant, held her in his arms, kissed her, and shed tears.Concubine Rong was also deeply moved, and said in her heart: Why are they both so nice?

Yu Zhou just landed at the pier in Jiaxing, and Ye Tianshi, who was waiting on the shore, immediately boarded Fu Heng's small boat. Because when he set off from Hangzhou, Fu Heng sent a speedboat first to report to Ye Tianshi in Jiaxing, and also sent the pulse and prescription. Send someone to give it to him and tell him the itinerary of Yuzhou.When he boarded the boat, Yingluo was still in a coma, and Concubine Rong was also waiting in the cabin according to the emperor's order. Although the emperor didn't know anything, he knew that Ye Tianshi came to see him.He took Yingluo's veins carefully, pondered for a while, and because Concubine Rong was by his side, he said: Ma'am is not pregnant, she is not acclimatized, and the child is fine.After hearing this, Fu Heng and Concubine Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at each other happily.

Fu Hengdao: Doctor Ye, it is our first time to go to Jiangnan, and it seems that everything is fine.Ye Tianshi said: Ma'am used to have insufficient energy and blood, so she adapts slower than ordinary people, and she has a child again, which is even more serious.After returning to Beijing, she will recover.Drinking medicine is useless. If bed rest can relieve discomfort, you can lie down. Otherwise, normal work and rest will be more helpful.Weichen has a folk remedy, maybe he can give it a try.So he wrote the prescription, Fu Heng read it, put it in his arms, and waited to get off the ship to do it.Concubine Rong said with a smile: I can go back and reply to the order.Then he expressed his condolences to Ye Tianshi, greeted him for a while, and said that the emperor ordered this place to look after him, and Dr. Ye also went to see his concubine Ling on the imperial boat.

Fu Heng told Ye Tianshi to wait a moment, and he sent Concubine Rong out first.After getting out of the cabin, Fu Heng said sincerely: Thank you, Madam, what you said is correct.Concubine Rong looked at him again, smiled sweetly, and said: Master Fu Heng, if you really thank me, please address me as "you", just like before.Fu Heng smiled and said: Good!Concubine Rong saw that he was playful and joyful like a big boy, and knew that he was happy because Yingluo had nothing to do, so she thought of Fu Kang'an, so she hurriedly said goodbye and went to Yuzhou.

Back in the cabin, Fu Heng talked about Ye Tianshi Dingyou. It turned out that Ye Tianshi returned to his hometown because of his mother's illness a few years ago, and his mother passed away in the first month. Therefore, according to the court system, he had to resign and go home for 27 months to keep filial piety for his mother. Just fulfilled his wish to stay away from the Forbidden Palace.In the past two months, his clinic in Jiaxing has also opened. He has been communicating with Fu Heng and Yingluo, so the couple are very familiar with his situation.After the two talked for a while, Fu Heng took him on the Yuzhou to see the emperor, and went back to Xiaofang by himself, ready to disembark.

The emperor was also very happy to see Ye Tianshi, and after saying a few words, he asked Li Yu to take him to see his concubine Ling.Ye Tianshi came back and told the concubine that everything was fine, reassuring the emperor, the emperor was even happier, and asked about Yingluo's situation, knowing that she was seasick because she was not acclimatized, so he let go of his worries.So he ordered Ye Tianshi to be rewarded heavily, and Li Yu took out the silver that he had agreed to with a smile. After Ye Tianshi thanked him for his gratitude, he ordered to get off the boat.

The people on Fu Heng's small boat did not get off the boat until Yingluo woke up, and that was an hour later.Yingluo heard that Ye Tianshi came to see her and her concubine Ling, and that the child was fine, but she was just not acclimatized and not sick, so she was very comforted and happy, but regretted that she did not meet him.Fu Heng smiled and said: We still have to go to his clinic!I see you!

On some occasions where we can meet, Hong Zhou sees that Nala's mood has been depressed, and he really doesn't understand her thoughts.So she asked Wu Deya to ask Zhen'er, and Zhen'er told her about Wugege.After Hongzhou knew about it, every time he thought of Nala, he felt admiration and couldn't bear it. He just thought why the emperor couldn't see such a good woman and such a good mother.Later, when she learned the news that Ling's concubine was pregnant again, she became even more aggrieved by Nala.Wu Deya said leisurely: "Anyway, Concubine Rong is no longer in serious trouble, the empress should be happy."I just said, how can the emperor's women stop, like the queen empress, they are all beyond their own thinking.

Hongzhou was dissatisfied when she heard that Nalashi was not good, so he didn't speak.Hai'an was also at the side, beating Hong Zhou's leg.Wu Deya said again: I have met that concubine, she looks average, and I heard that the emperor is not very happy with her, but people just want to live up to their spirits, this fate cannot be stopped.Hai'an then pursed his lips and smiled, knowing that Wu Deya was saying that she was better off than Hong Zhou's two concubines, so she said with a smile: "Fujin, I have heard that the Empress Dowager's heart for Concubine Rong has now turned to this concubine." .Wu Deya said: Isn't that right!A mother-in-law naturally loves her grandson!Hong Zhou snorted, and said, "The grandson hasn't been born yet!"Hai'an knew that he meant that the concubine's first child was a daughter, so he pursed his lips and smiled.Wu Deya said: If you are so fertile, you will have a bunch of grandchildren sooner or later, just watch!

The more Hong Zhou listened, the more angry he got up and went out.Hai'an persuaded: "Fu Jin, you know that the prince is unhappy, but you deliberately run on him."Wu Deya snorted, and said: Someone should talk to him, otherwise, he always digs into the horns, what is the matter of his uncle's family, it has nothing to do with us, am I right?Hai'an pursed his lips and smiled again, without saying a word, Wu Deya said again: "And this uncle is still the emperor, look, what kind of mind is he talking about?" !Can you do it?Seeing Wu Deya's expression, Hai'an couldn't help laughing out loud.Wu Deya laughed too.When they were young, the three boys were brought in by the wet nurses, so the two women nursed and talked with the children together.

Hong Zhou went out of his yard and walked casually on the street.Jiaxing is a small city, but next to the South Lake, the scenery of the Jiangnan water town is very beautiful and moist.Walking on the street, looking at the prosperity of the small town, he couldn't help feeling: Hongli's natal family is here, and this time he must visit his birthplace. In fact, he, like me, was born in the Han Dynasty. .Immediately thinking of his mother-in-law, Geng Shi, his eyes turned red.

At this time, the emperor did go to Qian's house in Jiaxing, but no one knew that he was the emperor.Qian Zhengyuan is dead. Qian Zhengyuan's death has dealt a huge blow to the 80-year-old lady, and the old lady passed away soon. The Qian family now lives with his widow and two sons, including servants and other nearly [-] people. .Originally, the two sons of the Qian family were left behind in their hometown and entered the business world, running various businesses. They were considered ordinary wealthy families.

After the emperor knew his life experience, he sent someone to contact them many years ago, using a false surname Qin.Jiaxing is a famous land of fish and rice. The Qin family opened a shop to sell rice in Jiaxing, but they said that they lived in Shandong, and they were incomparably rich. The Qian family suddenly became such a big supplier, and they became one of the richest households in Jiaxing city back then. I am very grateful to the Qin family.

When the emperor arrived in Jiaxing by himself, he visited Qian's house as the master of the Qin family.It was inconvenient for him to bring eunuchs with him, and he didn't want Li Yu to know about it, so he brought four first-class guards who disguised themselves as men, and took eight sedan chairs, and the bearers were naturally all first-class guards in disguise.For so many years, the Qian family has only seen a young master of the Qin family a few times, because they don't live in Jiaxing, they heard that the master came to visit unexpectedly, but the Qin family did not notify in advance, so they were very surprised. The eldest son, Qian Fuli, received a summons from his family and immediately returned home from the business.Because of his poor family, Qian Zhengyuan studied hard for more than ten years in order to get ahead, and after he became an official, he worked hard and fulfilled his duties, so he got married very late.Although Qian Fuli and the emperor are of the same generation, they are fifteen or sixteen years younger. Now they are only in their early thirties, so they look like the younger generation.

The emperor sat with Qian Zhengyuan's widow for a while, asked about Qian Zhengyuan and Mrs. Tai's life, and said that it was rare for him to come to Jiaxing.Qian Fuli immediately led him around respectfully.This Qian Mansion is on Nanhu Island, not too far from Yanyu Tower.After walking a few places, he asked Qian Fuli, "I heard that Shilang Qian has a younger sister who entered Yongwang's residence back then."Qian Fuli hurriedly said: "Well, my aunt served the late emperor in Qiandi, but died young.He said again: I didn't expect the Qian family to be a noble family. Is this lady's original boudoir in this mansion still there?

Qian Fuli felt very surprised. He didn't know why he would ask this, so he said: Master Qin didn't know something. The Qian family was originally a poor family. My aunt left home when she was nine years old. There was no boudoir at home. The house had already been sold by the grandmother to make ends meet, and the house was bought after my father became a servant.The emperor knew it, he felt a pain in his heart, tears welled up in his eyes, he hurriedly turned his face away, not to let Qian Fuli see.After walking for a while, Qian Fuli pointed to a small two-story building in front, and said, "Upstairs in this warehouse, there are still some things from my aunt's childhood."Seeing that the paint on the outside of the small building was mottled and falling off, the emperor felt even more sad, and he dared not look any further, so he walked quickly.After walking a few more steps, he said that he still had something to do and had to leave.So Qian Fuli sent him a long way with the sedan chair before returning.

Suddenly it began to rain.Sitting in the sedan chair, the emperor thought of his biological mother who came from a poor family and had a life of ups and downs. I can't do it for her, and I can't even remember what she looks like. I didn't even know that she existed for more than forty years, I just felt like a knife was piercing my heart, and shed tears.After returning to the palace, the door was closed and no one was seen.

Li Yu didn't know the reason, but seeing that the emperor's condition was not good, he went to tell Concubine Rong.Concubine Rong didn't know what was going on, she changed her clothes, and was about to see the emperor when she saw the Queen Mother entering her room.She was very surprised, so the Empress Dowager taught her everyone in the room to get down, and taught Madam Liu to close the door. She was even more surprised and hurriedly knelt down to pay her respects.The queen mother pulled her up and taught her to sit together on the couch.Then she taught Nanny Liu to tell her about the emperor's life experience, but like Concubine Yingluo knew, she didn't reveal the real truth.

Concubine Rong was extremely shocked, and even burst into tears.Seeing her crying, the queen mother felt very sad, with tears in her eyes, she said: "Son, it's inconvenient for me to persuade the emperor, so I told you, I know, you shouldn't know about this, but I can't see it." The emperor is sad, so you should pretend to be ignorant of the matter for the sake of the emperor's mother, and go to comfort the emperor.Concubine Rong hurriedly knelt down and said: "Yes, Shen Bi complies with the order. Don't worry, Empress Empress, Shen Bi will never tell anyone, including the emperor."The Queen Mother let out a long sigh, supported Mammy Liu, and left with the umbrella.

Concubine Rong touched up her makeup and looked in the mirror, but she couldn't see the trace of her tears just now, so she went out alone.Fang felt that the slanting wind and drizzle were cool and refreshing, and there was a slight spring chill. When he arrived outside the emperor's house, Li Yu was very happy to see her coming, so he hurriedly put away the umbrella for her, went in to report, and came out after a long time, saying: Empress, Lord Long Live told you to go in. This servant has never seen Lord Long Live like this!As he said that, the circles of his eyes turned red, showing that the emperor was inside.Concubine Rong knew it well, gave him a comforting smile, and said: "There is me, don't worry.

When Concubine Rong entered the room, she saw that the curtains were tightly closed and the light was very dim.The emperor was lying on the bed in the inner bedroom with his back to the outside.She then closed the door of the dormitory, went to the bed, first knelt down to pay her respects, the emperor remained silent.She stood up by herself, sat on the edge of the bed, and went to see the emperor, only to see that he was weeping with his eyes closed, and she was very sad in her heart.So he patted him gently with his hand, silently.After an unknown amount of time, the emperor suddenly pulled her onto the bed and pressed her under him.

Concubine Rong smiled slightly and went to kiss the emperor.The emperor burst into tears and kept kissing her.As she responded to him, she also shed tears. The two kissed like this and wept. After an unknown amount of time, the emperor lay back on the pillow, motionless, but still wept with his eyes closed.She wiped her tears, unbuttoned all the buttons on the side of her clothes, approached the emperor, and pressed the emperor's head there. After a while, the emperor began to move...
