Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

Soon after arriving at the Bailongtan Palace, news spread that Concubine Rong had punished U Rina not to have dinner.Toya snorted: A slave from a barren land also wants to climb high branches!Qimuge smiled and said: You have to be careful.Although Concubine Rong hates her, there is still the Emperor!Toya said: Yes, the slave will save it.Zi Wen beat the nobleman's leg, but didn't speak.Just as he was talking, he heard an eunuch outside say: The Empress asked that nobleman to go.Toya hurriedly said: The nobleman will go right away.Qi Muge said in his mouth: What's the matter!Slowly got out of bed, Zi Wen hurriedly helped her to stand up.Toya helped her out the door.

After entering the queen's room, Qi Muge greeted the queen and asked her what orders she had.The queen smiled and said: "Sit down."Qi Muge sat down.Only then did the queen look at her, and said: "I heard about what happened in the morning. Uzhina is a newcomer to the palace. Please take care of me, sister."Qi Muge hurriedly stood up, and said: Your Majesty, are you saying that I am not?The queen said: "Sit down."Concubine Rong asked Caiyun to tell Bengong that she would discipline her servants herself, and told you not to indulge your servants.Bengong thinks it makes sense.Said and glanced at Toya.Toya was taken aback.Qi Muge said: "Yes, I would like to follow your mother's teachings."

The queen smiled again, and said softly: Sister, Concubine Rong is also suffering and can't tell, so don't take it to heart.Qimuge looked at the queen, and Nalashi nodded slightly.After coming out, Toya said angrily: You bastard!The emperor actually protected her so much!Qi Muge was depressed, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. After returning home, he made half of the small sachets in the embroidery basket by himself.Ziwen was startled, quickly snatched it away, and said, "What's the matter, my lord?"Toya then said what the queen said just now, maybe Concubine Rong was forced to say that by the emperor.Zi Wen remained silent, packed up the embroidery basket, and sat beside her mending the sachet.

On the second day, the journey was uneventful, and when they were about to arrive at the Miyun Palace, the emperor suddenly ordered Uzhina to serve her.Li Yu came over and led Uzhina onto the emperor's chariot, and everyone was in an uproar.When entering the gate of the palace, the queen saw that Concubine Rong's face was very ugly, she was secretly happy, she walked over to hold her hand, and said: "Sister, what's wrong?"Tired on the road, take a good rest.Concubine Rong forced a smile and said: I'm fine, thank you for your concern.Qi Muge's face was full of anger, and he had no intention of gloating.Concubine Shu curled her lips and said, "It's just fresh for a few days.

In the emperor's courtyard, the dull sound of the piano and melodious singing soon came out, it was the "Love Song on the Grassland" again.The sound of the piano was played intermittently throughout the afternoon, and Uzhina did not return to Concubine Rong's room until dinner time.She knelt in front of Concubine Rong.Concubine Rong said: "I think you are wrong."Uzhina said: The emperor wants servants to serve him, and servants cannot resist the order.Concubine Rong said: You are worthy of Prince Darkhan!Uzhina said: He doesn't want me anymore!I have nothing to do with him anymore.Concubine Rong said: "Then you are worthy of me!"Uzhina said: Madam, although you are noble and beautiful, we each rely on our own abilities.Concubine Rong said angrily: What did you say? !

Uzhina laughed: Then what do you think I followed you for?I have had enough of the life of a slave!Concubine Rong was trembling all over, unable to speak, she could only point at her.Caiyun hurriedly stepped forward to support Concubine Rong, and reprimanded Uzhina: You shameless slave!How dare you talk to the empress like this!Isn't Prince Darhan good enough for you?He wanted you to take care of his wife on his behalf, so he gave you to her. Look at the good deeds you have done!

Uzhina laughed again: He treats me well?If he wants to sleep with me, he will sleep with me. If he wants to play the piano, he will let me play the piano. If he wants to give me to others, he will give me to others. I am a slave.Do you know how many wives he has?what am i !Yes, by his side, I am pampered, but I took care of him, I deserve those!Seeing that she spoke vulgarly, Caiyun was too angry to speak.

At this time, the emperor came in, seeing this scene, he was unhappy, went to help Uzhina up, and said to her: Are you okay?Uzhina shook her head.The emperor reprimanded Caiyun, saying: "Bold slave, your master is still here, how can you speak up!"Caiyun was startled, and immediately fell to her knees, only to hear Concubine Rong say: Your Majesty, do you still remember that Shen Bi is her master!Said, shed tears.

Seeing her like this, the emperor hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, so Concubine Rong leaned into his arms and said: Your majesty, Shen Bi hates this unruly woman.You let them all go down.The emperor said: "Okay, you all go down."Li Yu immediately drove everyone away, and then said to Concubine Rong: Your Majesty, you are overthinking, the emperor just listens to her playing the piano and singing this afternoon to relieve the lack of travel.The emperor immediately winked at Li Yu, and Li Yu understood, went out and closed the door behind him.

For the next dinner, Fukang'an did not eat with Emperor Concubine Rong.The emperor stayed at Concubine Rong's place that night.In the early morning of the second day, when he set off to return to Beijing, Uzhina was no longer in Concubine Rong's team.Chunmei took an opportunity to ask Han Guli, and Han Guli said: She was left in Miyun.But refused to say more.

Chunmei went back and told Concubine Shu, and asked: What does this mean?After the emperor quietly came to Miyun to pamper her?Can Concubine Rong be willing?Concubine Shu was also very puzzled, thought for a while, and said: "I see, this is the empress's idea."The emperor still wanted her, but he didn't want Concubine Rong to be sad, so he asked the empress to think of such a trick. Concubine Rong couldn't say anything about what the empress wanted.Chunmei suddenly realized.

There was a lot of commotion at the emperor's side, but there was a lot of tranquility in the Spring Harmony Garden.

Now it is November, and Yingluo is about to give birth. Ye Tianshi came from Jiaxing and lived in Chunhe Garden. Because of the short delivery time of the second child, the Fucha Mansion chose two midwives, and they also lived in Chunhe just like last year. in the garden.After Fu Heng came back from Horqin and sent his concubine into the palace, he stayed at home all the time.He stayed with Yingluo and helped her walk in the morning and evening. During the day, Yingluo lay down or slept, because she was extremely uncomfortable sitting, so he read the brochures aside, and the Military Aircraft Department still sent him brochures from the Old Summer Palace twice a day. .

Every day he brings Fulongan to play with Yingluo for a while, Fulongan is more than one year old and is a toddler, very interesting.Everyone in the whole family looked forward to the birth of the second child with joy, and everyone in Mashen Temple Street also looked forward to it very much. The old lady always offered incense to Bodhisattva and Rongyin, praying for a smooth delivery and the safety of the mother and child.

Back from Horqin Road, there was nothing wrong with the trip. Fu Heng was relieved that the baby would not be born prematurely. After arriving home, the couple wanted the baby to come out soon, but the baby was very calm and only active in the stomach.Ye Tianshi laughed and said that he had nothing to do, and told the couple not to worry.

One day, after sleeping until midnight, Yingluo finally moved. Fu Heng got up immediately, woke everyone up, wrapped Yingluo in a thick cloak, and helped her to the delivery room of Zaoshengtang in the front yard. After the brazier was installed, he carefully supported Yingluo to lean on the bed, and sat on the edge of the bed holding Yingluo's hand.The two midwives, Hayes and Pearls, came and began to prepare busily.Ye Tianshi came in to feel Yingluo's pulse, and he said to Fu Heng: everything is fine, girl, this time it will be faster.Fu Heng nodded.After Ye Tianshi went out, Fu Heng sat back on the stool beside the bed, holding Yingluo's hand, feeling very nervous.

Fu Heng had already decided to stay by Yingluo's side this time, and Ye Tianshi agreed. The two midwives were dissatisfied, but Chunheyuan sealed them another 100 taels of silver and stopped talking.Yingluo held Fu Heng's hand tightly. Seeing her face wrinkled in pain, Fu Heng was very distressed, so he could only hold her hand tightly.Being able to see Yingluo, he felt at ease, and he stopped sweating.

With him at the side, Yingluo felt quite at peace, but she was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, and she was sweating profusely, and Fu Heng wiped her sweat.After daybreak, the final stage was soon reached. After the child's head came out, the midwife told Yingluo to do her best. Fu Heng also encouraged her all the time, holding her hand tightly. After several heart-piercing yells, the child finally After delivery, the midwife patted the baby, and the baby immediately burst into tears.

Tears welled up in Fu Heng's eyes, and he looked up, only to hear the midwife say: "It's a young lady, mother and daughter are safe."The cry was softer than when his son was born, and he happily tightened Yingluo's hand.Yingluo fell on the pillow, her eyes were closed tightly, and her hair was wet with sweat, sticking to her face. Fu Heng said softly, "I finally saw Jiang Jiang."Yingluo couldn't open her eyes, she forced a smile and nodded, Fu Heng shed tears...

Because Yingluo really gave birth to a girl, Concubine Rong and her concubines completely believed in the words of the Mongolian mother-in-law who gave birth, so the emperor went to tell the Queen Mother himself that evening after returning one day, saying that Wei Mei would give birth to a boy.The queen mother was elated, and immediately announced Wei Mei to reward her.Afterwards, Jiao Yilu came up and gave instructions, saying that there was still the last month, he had to be very careful, and nothing would go wrong, and Yilu would follow Yilu's order.It was Wei Mei's first time seeing the emperor after returning from Horqin, because the emperor was dealing with piles of documents as soon as he came back, and kept looking at the emperor.The emperor also smiled at her.When the queen mother saw the situation of the two of them, she said, "I'm tired, you two talk to each other."

The emperor held Wei Mei's hand, Xijun supported her on the other side, and they went back to Wufutang together, and the emperor immediately asked her to lean on the couch.She looked at the emperor, held his hand, and asked him if he was on his way and how he felt recently.The emperor said hello one by one, and asked her how she felt, she smiled and put the emperor's hand on her stomach.The emperor stayed with her for a while, and then came out with Li Yu and went to Concubine Qing's place in the Xinghuachun Pavilion.After the Southern Tour, the Emperor and Concubine Qing began to get close. Her temperament was cautious and submissive. When the Emperor was with her, he felt unprecedented homely peace. This was also the first time the Emperor saw her after Horqin came back.

Concubine Qing was already ready to pick him up, and after welcoming him to sit down, she asked the emperor to change his clothes and pass on dinner.The emperor said that he had just come from the queen mother, that the queen mother praised her for her filial piety and meticulousness, and said that she had worked hard, but she just smiled and shook her head, saying that it was all due, and greeted the emperor.After the two of them had dinner, the emperor asked her how the two elder brothers were doing.Concubine Qing said: "There are no big things, but small things. I don't know whether I should take them back or not."

The emperor said: "What's the matter?"Concubine Qing said: "There was a quarrel between two maids in the fourth prince's courtyard, and one of them committed suicide by jumping into a well."The emperor put down the teacup and said angrily: The court lady who jumped into the well must have suffered a lot of grievances, what about Yongxuan, he didn't ask?What about his Fujin?Do not ask?

Concubine Qing hurriedly said: "The emperor calm down, according to the rules of the palace, the well pavilion in the palace must be locked by the chief eunuch every night, at seven o'clock in the evening and unlocked at five o'clock in the morning."The little maid just unlocked the well pavilion, and Si Fujin jumped into the well before getting up.Because the other maids and eunuchs were busy at that time, no one paid attention.

The emperor asked: "Why are these two maids arguing?"Concubine Qing said: I heard that Fujin is biased, Master Yilu knows the details, but it is inconvenient for the concubine to ask.The emperor said angrily: It's still Fujin's fault.If Queen Mother knew about it, she would be very angry.It has been a long time since such a thing happened in the palace, and Yongxuan's Fujin is still the Huangeriang's family.Concubine Qing hurriedly said: Don't worry, Your Majesty, the concubine asked Master Yilu to cover up the matter, not only the Queen Mother didn't know, but other people in the palace didn't know either.

The emperor nodded, and asked again: "Where is Yongqi's courtyard?"Concubine Qing knew that the emperor knew that Yong Qi would not go with Hu Jiajia, so Concubine Rong had told him, and hurriedly said: Yong Qi, Fujin and the two Gege get along well, the emperor can rest assured.The emperor looked at her and said: I know that Yong Qi was raised by you, but if something happens, you must not shield him.Seeing the emperor's solemnity and sternness, Concubine Qing immediately got up and knelt down, saying: "The concubine will never dare to cover up anyone, the emperor can rest assured, if Yongqi does something wrong and the concubine does not report it, it will be harming Yongqi."

The emperor also felt that his words were too serious, so he pulled her up.Concubine Qing said again: Your Majesty, Sifu Jin is young, so teach him slowly.The emperor said: "Go back and tell the queen, ask her to ask carefully, ask her to teach, next time something like this happens again, I will never forgive you lightly, the queen is the master of the six palaces, and Yongxuan was raised by her, she will not let you go!" Will not know the rules.Concubine Qing hurriedly said: "Yes, the concubine obeys the order."Then he went to look at Li Yu, who was also shocked and waved his hands slightly.

On the second day, Concubine Qing went to Louyue Kaiyun and told what the emperor wanted her to pass on. Empress Nala was also very angry when she heard it. Said that he didn't know, and heard from Yilu that he asked another court lady, but she refused to say what happened, and Si Fujin didn't say anything.

At the end, Concubine Qing said: Empress Empress, the emperor asked about it, and the concubine had to tell the emperor about it, please forgive me.Nala said softly: You are right, this palace must also tell the emperor about such a thing.Although Yongxuan was raised by Ben Gong, if he does not do well, Ben Gong will never tolerate him.

Concubine Qing came out from the empress and went to Tiandi Family Spring.Seeing her coming, Concubine Rong told everyone to go down, closed the door, and took Concubine Qing into the inner hall.Concubine Qing was taken aback.Concubine Rong said: Li Yu told me what happened at my sister's place last night.Concubine Qing nodded.Concubine Rong said again: Li Yu said that the emperor was so angry last night because of the previous incident.Concubine Qing was a little surprised: in front?What's up?Concubine Rong said: "I don't know either. Li Yu didn't go into details, but only said that the fourth elder brother failed to do something well. The emperor was angry and punished everyone around him.

Concubine Qing was taken aback when she heard the words, and looked at Concubine Rong.Concubine Rong nodded and said: At this time, my sister and I should not talk, pretend not to know, let alone mention Yongqi, good or bad.Concubine Qing nodded and said: Thank you sister, I understand.He also told Concubine Rong that the last sentence the queen said at the queen's place just now, it seems that the queen also knows what happened before.After Concubine Qing left, Concubine Rong wrote a letter and asked Lu Wenhong to take it to the Spring Palace.The small operas have never stopped practicing singing and rehearsing, and the new year is approaching, and new plays will be staged.

Yong Xie was contemplating behind closed doors, he did not expect that such a trivial matter would happen after the emperor came back.Because Yongxuan studied in the Ministry of Officials and was a prince, he participated in many important cases of the Ministry of Officials.The current Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Fu Sen, and the Aixinjueluo family are members of the clan. He was a Jinshi in the 33rd year of Kangxi and only took office this year.Tali, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who goes in and out with Yongxie on a daily basis, is Fu Sen's close minister. Fu Sen naturally asked him to take good care of the fourth elder brother.

In desperation, he hanged himself at home. mouth people.

The matter was reported to the Ministry of Officials, and because of the death, the servant Tari personally handled it, so he asked the fourth elder brother for his opinion, and Yongxuan blamed Cheng Hao for borrowing usury and teaching him not to pay official stipends.As a result, many people in the court were dissatisfied, and the censor made various comments, and Wang Youdun reported the truth to the emperor.This is not a major and urgent matter, so the emperor didn't see it until Horqin came back and dealt with the backlog.
