Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

Jiaxing's Sanbaijiu uses glutinous rice as the main raw material. First, the glutinous rice is steamed and cooked into rice, which is placed in a basket and cooled with cold water.Then mix the wine medicine into the rice and stir evenly, then pour it into the big wine vat, smooth it out, dig a small pool in the center, put bamboo betels on it, seal the wine vat, and cover the sides of the vat with straw to Maintain a suitable temperature.A few days later, the bamboo baskets in the small pool in the middle of the wine tank are full of fermented rice. At this time, cold boiled water is poured into the tank to submerge the food, and then the wine tank is tightly covered.After a week, the lid can be opened, taken out and placed in a steamer for distillation. The steam coming out of the steamer is cooled, and what flows out is Sanbaijiu.

Yingluo also liked this wine very much. At that time, she asked Ye Tianshi, and Ye Tianshi said that children can drink it, so she asked for a detailed prescription, and later told Concubine Qing.After returning from the southern tour, she and Haishi tried to make it together. After a few rounds of trying, the taste was very pure, and everyone in Chunhe Garden liked to drink it.It is midsummer at this time, and Chunheyuan often makes iced drinks.

Two days before the Wanshou Festival, the emperor had already given a big banquet to the courtiers, so on the Wanshou Day, the courtiers were allowed to rest for a day, so Fu Heng stayed at home.After taking a nap, Yingluo asked him to hold his son and watch him and Haishi Pearl make three baijiu together, while several little girls in the room were playing fans.Fulong'an saw that the three of them were wearing white aprons and white cloths on their heads, they were very novel, they were neither crying nor fussing, their big eyes were rolling.Yingluo was unable to move, so she just sat by the table mixing wine and medicine, Fu Longan stretched out her hand, Fu Heng knew that he wanted to mess around, so he hugged him and let his fat little hands stir in the rice bowl, he giggled happily laugh.The adults were all infected with joy, and the room was filled with laughter and laughter.

Suddenly Ah Zheng walked in and whispered something into Fu Heng's ear.Fu Heng looked at Yingluo and Haishi, and said to Zhuzhu: "Zhuzhu, come and hug Long'er, I will come as soon as I go."Yingluo looked at him, and he smiled and said: I'll be right back.Fu Heng and Ah Zheng went to the west gate of Chunhe Garden, saw Yongqi waiting there in a micro-clothes, and led him in. Yongqi immediately gave a brief account of what happened at Qingyan Hall in Jiuzhou at noon, saying that Xilinjue The Luo family was involved.Fu Heng was a little surprised, with a serious expression on his face, and told Ah Zheng to take Yong Qi to Lvmanxuan immediately, and then went back to call Ying Luo.

Fu Heng called Yingluo out, but Haishi didn't care.The couple hurried to Lvmanxuan, and after seeing the ceremony, Yingluo said, "We didn't tell your mother, so she won't worry."Yong Qi nodded.Fu Heng then said that Concubine Rong was poisoned, and the emperor wanted to find out the person who poisoned the harem. He and Yingluo were not surprised, because it was a joint effort between him and the emperor to find out the person behind the scenes, but he did not expect that the Egui people would happen thing.When Yong Qi heard the ins and outs, she was startled and put down Concubine Rong's side.So he expressed his incomprehension.Yingluo laughed and said, "Why, do you think Auntie didn't think well?"

Yong Qi hurriedly said: No, it's just that Yong Qi didn't think about it carefully before. After the southern tour, Yong Qi thought about a lot of things and understood a lot of things.Yongqi's marriage is decided by Huang Ama, and no one can resist the order.Fu Heng and Yingluo looked at each other, Yingluo smiled again: Yongqi really grew up!Let Fu Heng tell you about this matter.

Fu Heng said: "Fifth elder brother, do you still remember the nine kings who seized the heirloom when the holy grandfather was born?"Yong Qi didn't know why he mentioned this, but nodded.Fu Hengdao: After the first emperor came to the throne, he severely punished the eighth and ninth masters including the fourteenth master, but the emperor released the fourteenth master as soon as he ascended the throne, and made him the Duke of Feng En Fu, and gave him a horse to ride in the Forbidden City.Later, he was named the king of Xun County until last year, when the Fourteenth Master passed away.

Yongqi recalled the past, Yunyu was ordered to change her name to Aqina, Seth Hei, meaning pig, dog, imprisoned in a high wall and died tragically, Yunyu and her son were imprisoned beside the Shouhuang Hall in Jingshan for ten years, I couldn't help but shiver.Fu Heng continued: "The first emperor did this to frighten the world and prevent the occurrence of the previous dynasty's struggle for power, but his cruelty was criticized by the world.Yong Qi nodded silently.Fu Hengdao: Then why did the emperor do that, do you understand?Yongqi said: "The fourteenth uncle's crimes are not worthy of death, but Huang Ama treats him generously in order to ease the world's criticism of Huang Ma's father, and the common people will feel that the new dynasty is benevolent in the discussion of the imperial court.

Fu Hengdao: Well said.But did you know that Master Fourteen was the same mother and younger brother of the first emperor, and he punished him severely on purpose in order to let the emperor release him.Yongqi was taken aback, looked at Fu Heng, then at Yingluo.Yingluo smiled encouragingly at him.After a while, Yongqi said: I understand, thank you.It turns out that Huang Ama pointed out Xilinjueluo's family to me for the same purpose.

Fu Hengdao: Yes, the emperor is very dissatisfied with the E Party, and later the Gao E Party, like a thorn in his back. The E Party has been deeply rooted since the time of the first emperor. For the sake of the world, he must clean up the E Party. Involved in it, there will always be examples of overcorrection, and there are other people with ulterior motives who fish in troubled waters and add insult to injury, which is hard to guard against.So he pointed the Xilinjueluo family to you, and the Xilinjueluo family became the in-laws of the Aixinjueluo family. On the one hand, it shows that the emperor has no prejudice against the E family. become a deterrent.

Yong Qi was shocked when she heard this, and was stunned.Yingluo continued: "So you are doing a great job for the emperor on the important matter of the Hubei Party."You are in the middle, which is the best form of invisible protection for Xilinjueluo's family. You don't need to do anything deliberately, your status as a prince.It can protect them from being unfairly harmed, which is the same as when he pointed out his in-laws to the fourth elder brother.Yong Qi nodded and said: I understand.Fu Hengdao: Fifth elder brother, we have never seen your Fujin, but since she wants to marry you as a wife, as a man and as a husband, you have to protect her well and treat her well, just like you did to the two princesses Don't be prejudiced just because she comes from Xilinjueluo's family.

Yong Qi nodded solemnly, and asked: What about Egui people today... Fu Heng said: I know about this, don't worry, Yingluo and I will figure it out.Saying that, she looked at Yingluo, Yingluo smiled at him, and then said to Yongqi: Just don't worry, your Huang Ama has us there.Yong Qi hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Thank you aunt and uncle, Yong Qi has been out for too long, so I will go back now."Yingluo said: Your mother... Yongqi said: I often wrote to her, but she disappeared.Auntie, take care of yourself.

After Yongqi left, Yingluo saw that Fu Heng was still in deep thought, so she walked over, put her hand on his shoulder, and said, "What's the matter?"Fu Hengdao: It's nothing, I'm still thinking about what happened today.Yingluo smiled and said: I didn't expect to catch the poisoner so quickly, you and the emperor have made a good plan!Shen Bi is fine.Fu Heng said: Well, the emperor protects her, she will be fine.Yingluo said again: "Miss that E nobleman?"I will send Shen Bi a letter about this matter, and ask her to take care of it for Yong Qi. In fact, she will do it even if I don't say anything, but there is always a discussion. If necessary, I can still go to see the emperor.Fu Hengdao: You don't want to see the emperor any more.

Yingluo was surprised and said: Why?Fu Heng just smiled and said: I don't want you to see him, I have seen enough during the southern tour.Said holding her hand.Seeing his slight disdain in his smile, Yingluo knew that his heart disease had come up again, so she smiled and said: Well, it's not convenient for me to see him now.Fu Hengdao: Well, let's talk about it after the baby is born.As he spoke, he turned and put his face on her stomach.Yingluo smiled and patted his head.

Two days later, Empress Nala went to Tiandi Family Spring.Concubine Rong was about to go out, very surprised.Greet her and ask her to sit down.Nala looked at her and said with a smile: "Sister, I don't know that you have been poisoned, it's because I didn't take good care of you, which worried the Queen Mother and the Emperor, so I should come and say sorry to my sister."Concubine Rong replied: The empress is serious. At that time in Chengqian Palace...it was Shen Bi who should plead guilty to the empress.He stood up and knelt down in front of her.Nala smiled and pulled her up, saying: How can I blame you?The emperor is lucky to you, how can you resist the decree?Of course, I understand the emperor's temperament.Concubine Rong blushed, and said: But there, always Shen Bi is sorry for you.

Nala smiled and said: Since my sister feels sorry for Ben Gong, then let me return the favor to Ben Gong.Concubine Rong said: "Please tell the empress."Nala said: My younger sister is naturally beautiful, with a good character, and is deeply loved by the emperor. I have been in the palace for so many years, and it is rare to see my younger sister who is so considerate and considerate that the queen mother, the emperor, and this palace are all satisfied.My younger sister should serve and assist the emperor well with Bengong.If my sister and I have done something wrong in the past, I am sorry for my sister, and I ask my sister not to take it to heart.Concubine Rong hurriedly said: Your empress is serious, as the master of the six palaces, you naturally have to follow the rules, Shen Bi didn't complain.

Nala said: "Okay, then I will think that you have agreed, sister, and we will be called sisters from now on."Concubine Rong hurriedly said: "Don't dare, Shen Bi still calls you Empress Empress, otherwise others will feel dissatisfied."Seeing that she was favored so much in front of the emperor, Nala was still very respectful in front of him, and listened to her meaning, she had no intention of meddling in affairs, so she was very happy.After saying a few more gossips, and asking Zhen'er to present to Concubine Rong, she left.After Nala left, Caiyun said, "Ma'am, what does she mean?"For such a big event as your poisoning, she, as the queen, cannot escape the responsibility, so let it go away like this?Concubine Rong only smiled, and said: "Emperor Niang said a few words to her, and then the monthly silver was reduced in March, and Yilu and Yuan Chunwang fined their salaries for half a year, but the emperor didn't say anything, it was not her fault."Let's go to the Department of Punishment.

The Punishment Department in the Yuanmingyuan is different from that in the palace. Because there is a lot of water in the garden, there are water prisons, and the prisoners suffer even worse in it.Yilu was already waiting there, and when he saw Concubine Rong arrived, he said, "Your Majesty, everything is ready, who do you want to interrogate first?"Concubine Rong said: "According to the emperor's will, ask Concubine Wan first."Yilu then instructed the eunuch to bring Wanpin up.Concubine Rong saw that her prison clothes were clean and her hair was neat, but her hands and feet were in shackles. It seemed that Yilu followed her previous instructions, nodded and said: Lord Yilu, the emperor only asked me to ask questions. she.Yi Lu said: "Yes, there is a small window on the door. When the empress greets you, open the window, and the eunuch outside will open the door."With a wave of his hand, all the eunuchs and Caiyun were taken out of the secret room, and the door was locked.

Concubine Wan knelt on the ground, Concubine Rong said: Get up, they didn't make things difficult for you.Concubine Wan knelt without moving, and said with a smile: What are you pretending to do?You lied to the empress dowager and killed the concubine Jia, but you can't fool me.Concubine Rong said: Do you really hate me so much?Wanpin said: "That day, he wanted to be lucky to you, why did you say no?"You did it on purpose, right?He is even more grateful to you.You think I don't know? !A generous person like the empress, but you are in her palace... Do you really have a heart? !People like you should have died a long time ago!Concubine Rong sighed, and said: So, you miss me so much, that day... I said no, I just didn't want to be there, but how could I stop the emperor.Concubine Jia... said with a smile, and stopped talking. Naturally, Yingluo had saved Concubine Jia, so she couldn't tell others.

Wanbi gave her a hard look, and said: You are so charming and scheming, of course he can't stop you!why are you laughing?Concubine Jia is dead, are you happy?Concubine Rong said: You just hate me, not the emperor.Then you listen to a story.So I said it.Wanbi looked at her in disbelief.Concubine Rong nodded, with tears in her eyes.There was a moment of silence in the secret room.After a while, Wanpin said: You lied to me!You lied to me!You want me to feel guilty and regret what I did.I do not regret!I do not regret!Concubine Rong said: This is what the emperor asked me to tell you, I didn't lie to you.Well, I can go back and reply.With that said, she stood up and walked towards the door.

Wanpin said: Wait!Concubine Rong turned her head and said: Do you have something to tell the emperor?Concubine Wan said: He really did it because... Concubine Rong said: You are a capital crime, whether you regret it or not, the emperor will not take it to heart, the emperor asked me to tell you to let you understand.Think about it, why are you called Wanbi?Do you understand it?Wanbi slumped down on the ground.Concubine Rong said: He can never forget Wan'er. He is lucky because of Wan'er. In fact, you don't look like Wan'er. He was drunk at the time... The name given to you is also because of Wan'er, although he is now Don't remember you as a person.Saying that, she opened the small window.Wanpin said again: Wait.Concubine Rong closed the window and waited for her to speak again.

Wanpin said: You go and tell him, I thank him for telling me about this, I will die in peace.Also, the Egui people were instigated by me, so don't blame her.After saying that, she turned around and didn't look at Concubine Rong again.

After Concubine Rong came out, Yilu came up and asked if he would continue to interrogate E nobleman, Concubine Rong said: No need.These two people, it's better not to embarrass them, for the rest, wait for the emperor's will.Yilu said: "Yes, the servant obeys the order."Empress, go slowly.Seeing that it was getting late, Concubine Rong said to go directly to Le'an and Fuzhi, but Caiyun didn't know what she said to Concubine Wan inside, so she quickly followed.When I went to Le'anhe, the little eunuch said that the emperor was still in the Palace of Qinzheng and hadn't come back.Concubine Rong thought for a while, and said: "Go back to Tiandi Family Spring, you go and teach Brother Xuan Wu to come see me."Caiyun hastily agreed.

When Yongqi saw Concubine Rong, please An asked her about the poisoning, she was very concerned, and said that she never knew about it. Before Hu Jiajia heard from concubine Ling that Concubine Rong was neglected, he asked Concubine Rong several times, but she refused to tell.Concubine Rong said with a smile: Of course you can't know, the emperor can't let people know in advance, otherwise things can't be done.Yongqi asked again: What about Concubine Wan and Egui?Concubine Rong said: Wait for the emperor's will.Yong Qi nodded.Concubine Rong said again: Don't worry about E nobleman's matter, Wanbi has admitted that she instigated E nobleman, and I am here.Yong Qi nodded again, and said: Thank you, Concubine Rong.Concubine Rong looked at her with a smile and said, "We're getting married soon!"Concubine Rong has something for you.As he spoke, he gestured to Caiyun.So Caiyun brought a big box, opened it for Yongqi to see, and laughed at the same time: My servant congratulates elder brother on his wedding!

Yongqi thanked her and saw that it was the satin surface of the quilt.Concubine Rong said: "In the Jiangning Weaving Bureau, I chose three pieces for you, one is durian with a hundred seeds, one is with a hundred flowers and flowers, and one is with a hundred rivers facing the sea. I just want to give it to you today, and you will share it with them." Three people.Yong Qi hurriedly knelt down to thank her.Concubine Rong pulled him up and said: Concubine Rong knows that you like Ibor, in the future you want her to give you a child.Seeing what she said, Yongqi knew that she had touched her heart, so she smiled and said: Concubine Rong, now I see that An'er is more and more like you, and his temper has improved, which must be the reason why he is always with you.Concubine Rong smiled and said: Thank you, you will teach him more in the future.Yongqi said: Don't worry.

Concubine Rong nodded, Yongqi and Fukang'an had different feelings, and asked Zheng Ying to come up to give orders, and Zheng Ying took orders one by one.Concubine Rong laughed: Eunuch Zheng, the fifth elder brother entrusts the palace to you.Hearing this, Zheng Ying hurriedly knelt down and said: No matter what your mother says, the slave is serving elder brother. The slave will do what elder brother says, and the slave will listen to elder brother.Concubine Rong and Yong Qi both smiled, and Concubine Rong said, "My brother is young, and my father-in-law will point out the things that are not thoughtful."Zheng Ying hurriedly said: I don't dare, I must take good care of the fifth elder brother.
