Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

In the first month, Concubine Shu was also turned over, but she had long since given up on the idea of ​​having a child and had already resigned to her fate. She now feels that having a child is a kind of natural destiny, which she does not have. It seems that Wei Mei is the only one in this palace Yes, she is also at peace.It's just that he takes Yongxing well, treating him as his own son.Days are still the same as before, getting close to Concubine Qing.

After the emperor agreed last time, Yongxing had more contact with Fu Kang'an, and she had more contact with Concubine Rong, but the two of them had nothing to talk about except their children.She and Chunheyuan haven't gotten close yet, because Yingluo is giving birth to a daughter and breastfeeding and it's New Year's Eve.After hearing that Concubine Xin was pregnant, she felt melancholy for a few days, then she lost it. Concubine Xin is ten years younger than herself.Hearing that Concubine Xin was very uncomfortable, I was worried about her and went to see her.

Concubine Qing also had no good news, Lingzi secretly worried, but seeing Concubine Qing's calm attitude, she didn't say anything else.After the news about Concubine Xin came out, she saw that Concubine Qing woke up one day with tears on her face, and she understood that she still cared, but there was nothing to comfort her.During breakfast, Concubine Qing asked her to prepare a gift for Concubine Xin, and said she was going to see Concubine Xin, so she advised her to go in a few days.Concubine Qing smiled and said: "Going early is the same as going late. In fact, she can't see guests. I just went to express my heart."

The two of them arrived at the natural picture where Concubine Xin lived, and entered the bamboo mat building in the north. In the yard where she lived, through the door and window, they could hear her painful and nauseating voice. Soft words and comforting voices, while the eunuchs and maids in the courtyard fetched water from the basin and bustled back and forth, all of them frowning.Concubine Qing taught Lingzi to give the things to the maids outside, and said a few words of blessing, saying that she would not go in and disturb her, and left.

Along the way, Lingzi was still afraid, so Concubine Qing said: You don't want me to be like this either.Lingzi knew that she was trying to comfort herself and make herself think about it, so she said, "You won't do this, and your concubine and empress are not like this."Concubine Qing only said: Actually it's better for Concubine Rong's younger sister, don't need to think about it, maybe I'm the same as her.Let's go see Wu Fujin.Suzuko was at a loss for words for a moment, feeling even more sad in her heart.

On the second day after returning to Beijing, Fu Heng returned to Qinzheng Hall to report to the emperor.The emperor took him back to Le'anhe and closed the door.He told the emperor that Baljur sent his own people to take care of Uzhina and the communication in Miyun. They had nothing to do for the time being, but three months later, before he came from the grassland, he would inform the emperor that the emperor needed to go to talk to Borzi. The Kit family said hello and said that Gao Yun's husband had been found and was ordered to see her, and then he was leaving again. I don't know what the emperor said.And according to Uzhina, she and Baljur still want to have a child, and the Borzigit family must have a reasonable and credible statement.

The emperor pondered and said: "Their liaison station in Miyun..." Fu Heng smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. That servant already knew about it. He has been sending people to watch over him. He hasn't seen anything other than private affairs. If there is any change, The slave will report to you.The emperor nodded and said, "Then what do you think should be done?"Fu Hengdao: Settling Uzhina and the child well will naturally better ensure that the imperial court controls Monan.Uzhina can be separated to live alone, and her children can inherit the surname and family business of the Borzigit family. In this way, the Borzigit family will be happy without the burden of taking care of her mother and child. .Before Baljur left, it was easy to separate her out. In fact, Uzhina's safety was secretly protected by the imperial court.The emperor pondered and said: You are right, then where do you think it is more appropriate to move her to live?

Fu Hengdao: I think the outskirts of Beijing are convenient. Apart from routine meetings, the emperor can also meet Baljur when he comes to see her. Miyun is still far away, not as convenient and safe as Gyeonggi.Before, it was because they wanted to hide the eyes and ears of the harem and the grassland.The emperor nodded and said: "You can take Doro with you to handle this matter. Don't let anyone know about it. The Miyun family reassured them that Gao Yun would take the child to see them when the child was born, and they were not allowed to inquire about anything else. Don't tell people that their family business, I will redistribute the land.Fu Hengdao: "Yes, the servant obeys the order."

Seeing that Fu Heng didn't leave, the emperor asked, "What else is there?"Fu Hengdao: After the mansion in the suburbs of Beijing is settled, the slaves will go to pick up Uzhina. Will they bring back the Queen Mother and Concubine Rong together at that time, and let Uzhina drive with the car, so as to deceive people's eyes and ears.The emperor smiled and said: "Okay, you can see these for yourself."Fu Heng nodded, hesitating a little, the emperor said: Is there anything else?Fu Hengdao: Yingluo and Ye Tianshi discussed that they planned to open a pharmacy in the capital, not for profit, but for the convenience of the common people. I think I should tell the emperor about this matter. After Horqin came back, the slave was preparing for it, and it's almost done now.

The emperor was a little surprised, then laughed, and said: This is a great thing, where is the store going to open?You don't come to ask me for money, do you?Fu Heng also laughed, and said: I found a shop on Chang'an Avenue, where people of all ethnic groups come and go, and it is convenient.The Fucha family can afford it. Yingluo said that she would like to ask you to give me a plaque.The emperor said: Oh, what's the name of the shop?Fu Hengdao: Yingluo said that if her sister is still here, she will definitely agree, so she wants to call it Changchun Pharmacy, but it depends on whether you think there is a better name.The emperor nodded and said: "Let me think about it, you should kneel down first."After Fu Heng left, the emperor sat alone in the study for a long time before calling Li Yu in.

When Li Yu came in, he saw the emperor's complexion was not good, he was startled, he didn't know what happened, the emperor said: Serve me with pen and ink.Li Yu was busy preparing, then stood aside grinding ink, the emperor stood up, dipped the pen into the ink, and wrote on the paper:

In the blink of an eye, ten spring rock movies, the joys and sorrows of the past years start all over again.

Who can recognize the three lives on the stone, and watch the nine o'clock floating in the smoke.

Xie Penghai in the fairy trail, pity the people and point to Xuzhou.

If Yunchao asked the former inspector, he could not bear to stay in the empty court with tears.

Use small characters for the signature: On the first day of the third month of the third month of the Hongli Wuyin Year, recalling Rongyin's ten-year work

Then use the jasper tiger seal to seal the seal "Bao Qin Wang Bao" and "Changchun Layman" (Zhu Wen)

Putting down the pen, he said to Li Yu, "After you're done, you can take the painting to Fu Heng together, and then tell him that the pharmacy is called Changchun |Li Yu was puzzled and asked, "What pharmacy?"The emperor said: Mrs. Nalan wants to open a pharmacy on Chang'an Avenue to remember the former queen and protect the common people.Li Yu said in a low voice: "Yes, the servant obeys the order."You give money?The emperor shook his head, forced a smile, and said: Fu Heng has so much salary, and Guangde is in charge.Then he went into the inner room.

Li Yu rolled up the paper, put it in a tube, went to get another tube, then went to Qinzheng Hall, walked with Fu Heng to the corridor, away from the gate of the hall, gave him the two tubes, and told the emperor's words Having said that, he finally said in a low voice: Master Fu Heng, according to my servant, it is not a problem that Concubine Rong will never come back.Then he told Fu Heng what had happened in the harem in the past month. Regarding the newly-appointed Wu Changzai and Concubine Xin, there was nothing that made the emperor feel at ease during the time when Fu Heng was away. In the evening, the emperor often went to bed late to review the papers alone, and got up early and went to court during the day.I also went to the Changchun Immortal Hall to sit once.Said that he was very worried, afraid that the emperor would get sick.Fu Heng nodded and said that he would pick up Concubine Rong and the Queen Mother as soon as possible, and asked how the emperor treated Fu Kang'an after Concubine Rong left.

Li Yudao: "If the emperor doesn't entertain guests, I'd still ask grandma to bring Master Fukang'an to have dinner together. At that time, the slave feels that the emperor is relaxed and happy."Young master Fukang'an likes to eat steamed eggs the most. Master Rong is not here, so the emperor ordered it again a few days ago, and the eggs must be stewed tender.The emperor really likes young master Fukang'an, so don't worry, my lord.Fu Heng nodded with a smile. He understood that the emperor did not tell Li Yu that he, like Concubine Rong, still didn't know.The two talked for a while before breaking up.

In the evening of that day, Duo Luo went to the elegant room of a restaurant near the Old Summer Palace during dinner time. When Hu Lin, the guard captain of Chunhe Garden saw him coming in, he smiled and said: "Lord Duo Luo!"Doro smiled, took off the red hat and put it on the table, and said, "Have you been here for a long time?"Hu Lindao: "It's just arrived. I asked them to serve tea."Doro nodded, picked up the menu and looked at it.Hu Lin also reads the menu, but secretly goes to see him.For a while, the two ordered the dishes, and the tea was delivered, and the waiter took the menu and left.After the door was closed, Hu Lin said: "That saddle is good, Mrs. Nalan praised me this morning!"Said to be beautiful and comfortable!Doro smiled warmly, picked up the tea, took a sip, and said: "It's your credit!"

Hu Lin shook his head, then said with a smile: Master Fu Heng doesn't know that you work for the emperor, right?How did the emperor know that his wife wanted to use a saddle?Doro didn't answer, and said: "Sooner or later, I will use it. I heard from Mr. Fu Heng that he was teaching his wife how to ride a horse."Hu Lindao: You kid can climb poles!Will do what the emperor likes!Doro immediately looked at him, and he hurriedly said: "Hey, don't talk, don't talk, it's a rumor, a rumor!"Doro just smiled and drank tea by himself.Hu Lin said again: Don't worry, Master Fu Heng doesn't know, he just asked me to pick out the saddle, and you said you would give me a pair, but I still want to say how it's such a coincidence.Doro smiled without saying a word.

Hu Lin looked at him, and said with a smile: Duo Luo, tell me honestly, are you doing things for the emperor, or are you against... Do Luo looked at him and asked: What do you think?Hu Lindao: I just find it strange that after I was ordered to protect the Fucha Mansion, you often asked about Madam, I think that is what the Emperor meant, but I don't think so. If the rumors are false, why does the Emperor care about Madam Nalan so much? ?Doro said: Do you think the rumors are true?Hu Lindao: I don't know, but that girl is definitely not the emperor's. She looks exactly like Mr. Fu Heng, and how loving Mrs. Fu Heng is.Doro said: Isn't that right?

Hu Lin asked: Then why does the emperor care so much about Mrs. Nalan?Just as Doro was about to speak, the door opened and the dishes were served.After the door was closed again, Doro said slowly: There is no reason.Hu Lin shook his head and said: I really admire you kid, you can do whatever the master says and don't ask anything, no wonder the emperor likes you!Doro just smiled and ate his food.Hu Lin asked again: Why did the rumor disappear immediately?

Doro said indifferently: Knowing that the emperor knows, who dares to say it?If you still want a head.Hu Lindao: "Your boy was ordered to release the wind?"Doro was noncommittal.Hu Lin said again: What about the rumors about Master Fu Heng and Concubine Rong?Duo Luo said: It's also nonsense, the emperor and Concubine Rong are also very good, and... Hu Lin saw that he suddenly stopped talking and didn't ask, even if he knew he would ask.

After Hu Lin came home in the evening, his wife Suqiong asked him about meeting Doro, and he said so.Su Qiong said: "You are just thinking wildly. Didn't you say that Doro was born to you? You know him best. Both of you are now first-class guards, but you are entrusted to work in the Fucha Mansion."Hu Lindao: Yes, but in the past two years, after he entered the palace, I have become more and more incomprehensible to him. If it is not the emperor, it can only be him. But how can a person like him be so obsessed with a woman? Xin, almost every time the two of us met, he would ask about Mrs. Nalan, and I was not allowed to tell others, but it was impossible, except for the time of the southern tour, he had never seen Mrs. Nalan at all.Well, I saw a lot more last year, but he was so virtuous that he never paid attention to women, otherwise I don't know how many women went there in the morning.I told him about the rumors about the emperor and his wife earlier in the morning, but he didn't care.He and Mr. Fu Heng often met in the palace. If he said he wanted to please Mr. Fu Heng, he didn't have to do so, and his temperament would not please anyone.

Suqiong laughed and said: "Don't talk nonsense. When I saw Rongrong, I thought she and Doro were very good. They are the same as us. The children are two years old. Do you think you are all alone, do what you want, no When we got married?Doro is not that kind of person.Hu Lin just shook his head and said: Xiao Heipi has been good to everyone since he was a child, but he never said what he was thinking, and no one knew what he was thinking, I didn't know, and his wife didn't even know.Su Qiong said: "His mouth is tight, so the emperor can use him at ease, and of course you have to be careful in the palace, you learn a little bit."Hu Lin laughed and said: "I think he is handsome, Mr. Fu Heng used to be the emperor's bodyguard."Knowing that he and Doro have a strong relationship, Suqiong likes to laugh at Doro, so she also grinned.

It was still early when Doro came out of the restaurant. He walked for a while, entered an alley, walked for a while, and entered a teahouse. He had a few words with the clerk at the door, and was led into a compartment , the guy went out and closed the door.He smiled and saluted the person sitting there: Fifth Lord.Hong Zhou said: "Don't stick to the etiquette, sit down quickly."Doro then sat opposite Hong Zhou.Hong Zhou asked him to drink tea, and he only said, "The slave has just had a meal and came here after drinking tea. The slave will go back to work tonight."Hong Zhou nodded and asked: How is the emperor recently?Duo Luo said: "Concubine Rong is not here. According to Li Yu, the emperor still doesn't turn his cards around."Hong Zhou said, "What about Ling Fei?"Doro shook his head and said: I don't know.

Hong Zhou asked again: "Is the emperor still investigating the matter of Yangzhou?"Doro said: "The slave doesn't know, and didn't send a slave."Fifth Lord, you don't know who it is, so why be nervous?Hong Zhou said: Yes, but it is a big event after all.According to you, after being dispersed by the bandits, the emperor was robbed of the sword, but everyone else was fine.Duo Luo hummed, and said: "It's just some skin trauma, and it will heal soon. According to the servant, it was just an accident. Even if the emperor checks, he can't find anything."

Hong Zhou said again: "Wang Youdun is dying soon."Doro said: "The emperor will choose another person."Hong Zhou said, "If you hear something, come and tell me."Doro said: "Okay, if the servant knows."Hong Zhou said: You reminded me of the rumors before.Duo Luo said: "The emperor didn't get angry when he found out, and the matter was troublesome instead. Fifth Master, you just need to understand it in your heart, and you are right to be careful."Hong Zhou said: Well, thanks to you, I've always had trouble with you.Doro smiled and said: "It's almost time, the servant must go."Hong Zhou said: "Go well."

When Doro came out, it was already dark outside. He walked through the night market on the street and arrived at the gate of Yuanmingyuan. The guards at the gate all saluted him.He went straight in, went to Jiuzhou Qingyan Le Anhe, changed the guard's shift, and stood outside the study.I only heard the emperor say inside: Is Doro here?He turned around and walked into the hall, entered the inner hall, saluted the emperor and said: Yes, the servant is outside.The emperor said: Fu Heng told you, in a few days you and he will go to Miyun to honor the Empress Dowager and Concubine Rong back to Beijing.Doro said: Yes, my lord sent someone to tell the servant this afternoon.The emperor nodded and said: You listen to Fu Heng in everything, and I still have a secret decree for him.Duo Luo said: "Yes, the servant obeys the order."

The emperor looked at him, laughed, and said: Doro, I have always been very strange, you never ask questions.Duo Luo said: "The slave only knows how to do things according to the order and obey the order, which is the code of the sergeant. The slave's father taught the slave this way since he was a child."Also, minions have nothing to ask.The emperor looked at him and said: You are really different from Hai Lancha.Duo Luo said: Yes, this slave has much less seniority than Lord Sauron, thank you Your Majesty for trusting this slave.The emperor began to critique the papers, and said at the same time: "Recently, what is being said outside?"Doro said: "The rumors are gone."

The author has something to say:

【Historical Prototype】

【Qianlong's Poems for the Ten Years of the Death of Xiaoxian】, originally written in Taishan, ordered people to make a stele and place it in the West Stele Pavilion of Bixia Temple.The concluding line of the novel is "On the first day of the third month of the Hongli Wuyin Year, remembering Rongyin's ten-year writing", the Wuyin Year is the 23rd year of Qianlong. When people at that time wrote poems and paintings, they usually wrote the year with Ganzhi.

[Guangde Dang], a pawn shop of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was established in the 13th year of Qianlong. The initial set-up was about 8000 taels of silver, which was later rewarded to Fu Heng.It will be covered later in the novel.

[Qing Dynasty’s Policy on Mongolia] As we all know, the marriage between Manchu and Mongolia was an important national policy of the Qing Dynasty, but in fact, the Qing Dynasty’s strategies for different regions of Mongolia were different.

Monan Mongolia: Forced Conquest + Manchurian Marriage.Because Monan Mongolia (today's Inner Mongolia) is adjacent to the Central Plains, Monan Mongolia has also become a key area of ​​ethnic integration. A large number of Han people crossed the Great Wall, resulting in a large increase in the number of Monan Mongolians, and agriculture has also been greatly developed.Because of economic development, Monan Mongolia in the late Ming Dynasty was the strongest among the Mongolian tribes.The Qing Dynasty first conquered Monan Mongolia and then entered the Central Plains. Monan Mongolia was the key target of the national policy of Manchu and Mongolian marriage to rule the world.

Mobei Mongolia: Huairou policy + use of foreign enemies.To put it simply, the Qing Dynasty deliberately used the power of Tsarist Russia to threaten Khalkha, that is, Mobei Mongolia (today's Outer Mongolia), so that Khalkha had to be closely attached to the Qing Dynasty.There is also an important trade win over Mobei Mongolia, which is one of the Huairou policies, which will be covered later in the novel.

Moxi Mongolia: Resolutely eliminate Junggar, this is the most difficult part.The war began in the Kangxi Dynasty and lasted for more than [-] years in three dynasties.Qianlong himself accepted the concubines of Western Mongolia in Momo, such as Concubine Yu, Concubine Shen, and Concubine Rong, and expelled the Junggar people, and the Qing government directly ruled Huijiang, including northern and southern Xinjiang, which will be covered later in the novel.
