Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

When the emperor arrived from the Old Summer Palace in a hurry, Wang Youdun had passed away. Wang Chenghang didn't know that the emperor would come to the door in person.The emperor had already received the news outside the door, and as soon as he entered the door, he burst into tears, and personally uncovered the quilt, and examined it for a long time.Fu Heng persuaded the emperor to come down, the emperor wiped away his tears, sat facing west, and called San Dian Cha Xing.The king gave such a great gift to his ministers, and everyone was very sad. Mrs. Wang led everyone in the Wang family to kowtow and thank you in tears.Fu Heng was also weeping silently, and then gave Wang Chenghang and Shao Fan a few words before escorting the emperor back.

After the emperor returned to the palace, he issued an edict to allocate 2000 taels of money from the inner government to bury Wang Youdun, and also gifted the prince and grand master, bestowed the posthumous posthumous title of Wenduan, and enshrined him in the Xianliang Temple.He also thought that Youdun was good at calligraphy, so he ordered the officials to collect his books as "Shiqingzhai Fatie", and put them in the palace of Leshi.Li Yu stepped back silently to deliver the decree, the emperor sat on the couch, weeping, and Fu Heng sat on the lower stool.The emperor said: I was very happy to hear the news of Amur Sana today, and said that Shi Shao was comforted in his heart, and he might get better, but I didn't expect him to pass away today.Fu Heng then told Wang Youdun what he had asked him to convey to the emperor, and then persuaded him: Your majesty, Mr. Jintang and his family are very grateful to the emperor Long En, who let him return home in fine clothes last year, and even more so after his illness this year.He also said that Wang Youdun wanted to get up to thank him before he died, and his family said that he was still talking about military affairs in a daze.

The emperor said: "Wang Youdun is quiet and reticent. He smiles and blushes, which is rarely seen in sex."When things happen, you are knowledgeable, tacitly settled in the middle, calm and tidy, and calm and organized even in extreme embarrassment.He has worked beside Huang Kao and Zhen for more than [-] years, and won my appreciation for his "respect and respect".Fu Hengdao: The emperor's great love and praise for Mr. Jintang have been known to all the people in the court and the public for many years. Now the generous sympathy will greatly comfort the hearts of all the officials and scholars in the world.The emperor nodded.Fu Heng then talked about the plan to let Uzhina move to the vicinity of Nanyuan Haizi, and the emperor thought it was very good.

Fu Heng said again: Your Majesty, Yingluo said that she was also sad about Mrs. Wang's incident recently, and she was even more so when she thought about it. Concubine Rong is not here.The emperor was very happy in his heart, but asked lightly: Another new play?Fu Hengdao: Yes, she said that Master Lu's rehearsal of "Yan Qing Da Lei" is just an excerpt, and the emperor will definitely like it.The emperor suddenly felt excited, and said: "Okay, wait for me to find a time to go there, you can kneel down."After Fu Heng withdrew, Li Yu came in, saw the emperor's face was still tear-stained, and looked happy, and said: "Your Majesty, are you better?"The emperor smiled at him and said, "I'm going to the Spring Palace to watch a play, and you go and plan a date to watch it."Li Yu hurriedly responded, feeling relieved, it turned out that the emperor did it for this, and Miss Yingluo always thought of the emperor.

When Fu Heng walked out of the hall, Doro asked him about the emperor's situation. Dorocha was on duty tonight and had just gone to the Wang Mansion with the emperor, so he knew about it.Fu Hengdao: "It's okay, it's okay, the emperor is going to watch a play in the Spring Palace, and then we will go to Miyun to pick up people, and when Concubine Rong comes back, everything will be fine."Duo Luo said: Yes, the adults are naturally more considerate than the slaves, and the slaves will obey the adults' orders.

On the second day, Concubine Rong in Miyun received a letter from Chunhe Yuan Yingluo. After reading it, she felt heavy hearted, and her heart was like an arrow. , but did not tell Her Majesty anything.On the afternoon of the third day, the emperor took Doro Liyu to the Spring Palace.After the tour to the south, Yingluo and Doro got to know each other well. After greeting each other, they sat on the second floor of Hanhui Building as they did at the beginning of the year.

Yingluo saw that the emperor looked fine, so she said to him: Fourth master, Minghui was worried about the emperor, and wrote a letter to Concubine Rong yesterday, she knows all about the situation here.The emperor was a little surprised, so he looked at Li Yu, Li Yu hurriedly knelt down, and said: "My servant told Lord Fu Heng about the affairs in the palace. The servant is also worried about the emperor, and wants Concubine Rong to come back soon."

The emperor sighed and said, "Get up."Shen Bi went out to serve the Queen Mother, and made her worry in vain, I'm fine, you all don't worry.Fu Hengdao: "The servants are almost ready. The day after tomorrow, we should be able to set off for Miyun with Doro, and we will arrive in one day."On Miyun's side, the slaves also said that they were ready early in the morning. After three days, they should be able to return to the capital.The emperor nodded and said, "I don't worry if you handle the matter."

At the beginning of the play, "Down the Mountain" was staged, and Li Kui with a painted face came out, wearing scarlet trousers, majestic and majestic.Next is "Fighting the Ring" with purple-clothed Yanqing with hairpins next to her ears.

In the middle, Yingluo takes Pearl out to see how the dinner is being prepared, and meets Doro who is coming back on the corridor on the first floor.Doro hurriedly bowed to her, so she stood down and said with a smile: "Master Doro, long time no see."The last time she saw Doro was when the emperor came to see a play at the beginning of the first lunar month.Doro also smiled warmly, and said, "Hi Ma'am!"Master Fu Heng said that Madam's horse is getting better and better.Yingluo was even more joyful, and said: When Hai Lancha was around, he always laughed at me this way and that way, so Master Doro is better.

Doro is many years younger than Yingluo, but she still looks like a pretty little girl, so it's not against her to call him Mrs. Doro.Doro looked at her, and said: Lord Sauron is a close friend of Lord Fu Heng and his wife. It is often a pity that Doro was born late and did not get to know him and his wife sooner.Madame, please call me Doro.Seeing his politeness, Yingluo felt very happy, and said with a smile: Hai Lancha is careless, although you are young, you are more secure than him.

Doro's eyes lit up, and he smiled and said, "Thank you, Ma'am, for your praise!"Duo Luo worked with Mr. Fu Heng and gained a lot.Mr. Fu Heng is a corporal who is respectful and cautious. He is the emperor's first minister, and Duo Luo admires him very much.Yingluo knew that he was talking about the poisoning of Concubine Rong. Fu Heng asked the emperor to send Doro to secretly arrange things with him. Doro really won the emperor's appreciation, so she smiled and said: "I see, you look like Fu Heng... She was about to say that she was like Fu Heng being a bodyguard, but she stopped immediately because Doro didn't know who she was, and said, "It's too late for you to enter the palace."

Doro didn't understand Yingluo's meaning. Looking at her, Yingluo smiled and said, "Nowadays, don't all the little maids in the Forbidden City fall in love with Shu Mulu's guards?"Doro always knew that Yingluo had no scruples about what she said, but after hearing this, she couldn't help grinning, and said: Ma'am, you're joking!Doro has already been married and is a father.Yingluo has never seen Doro like this, because he is always quiet and smiles.Doro is tall and strong, with a heroic figure and beautiful facial features, but her skin is slightly dark. This grin showed her neat white teeth, as if the bright sun was shining on a person, and she was suddenly dazzled.

Seeing her staring at him silently, Doro blushed and coughed before Yingluo came back to her senses and said, "Master Doro, you must be a good husband and good Ama."Said and pearl went.Doro also walked back, took two steps, looked back at her back, and then smiled.Pearl smiled at Yingluo: "Master, this Lord Dorothy is very handsome. The servant looked at him, and he is also the second Fucha guard in the palace!"Yingluo laughed and said, "He is Hu Lin's boy, and Hu Lin said that he gave me the saddle he found for me."Pearl was very surprised.

Yingluo said: Hu Lin said that before he talked to Doro about looking for a saddle for me, Doro happened to have one that was never used, and said it was given by someone else. Castiglione saw it, and designed it with an Italian style. Too much, it’s too much to use, and it’s useless to leave it alone. Hu Lin saw it and thought it was good, so he brought it to me.Pearl then smiled and said, "That saddle is so beautiful, it's so finely made, everything that's good is missing our master!"Why does his family have contacts with Lang Shining?Yingluo said: "The emperor forbids Castiglione to teach the Western religion, but he came here to preach. He has been here for many years, and he is naturally familiar with the rich and noble families in the capital. Shu Mulu is a common surname in Manchuria, and most of his family has a relationship with his family from previous generations." .

Pearl asked again: Does your lord know?Yingluo curled her lips: I didn't tell him, tell him, he has to talk again, why can't get too close to the people around the emperor, it's just a coincidence, people don't care, just he looks forward and backward, be careful, don't tell him !Pearl then pursed her lips and smiled, thinking: The emperor also dotes on the master, what are you afraid of.

The dinner in the Spring Palace was very grand. Yingluo poured wine, and the emperor drank happily. He called Qin Guaner, who was playing Yanqing, to come up and rewarded him for his kindness. Yingluo smiled and told the emperor that she was also playing the role of Li Kui with red trousers and a painted face. The emperor was very surprised , was even more full of praise, saying that she even dressed up so well in her whole life, which shows that she works hard on weekdays.Qin Guan'er was still wearing a purple shirt and green belt costume, and the big light pink flower beside his ear was even more vivid, and he bowed his head in gratitude.The emperor also said that he would get drunk with Fu Heng, but in the end he got drunk and couldn't go back to the palace that night.So the couple took him and Li Yu to rest in the courtyard of the upper room.

Naturally, Duo Luo and the other guards could only stay in the Chunhe Garden.Yingluo apologized to Doro, because he was not on duty tonight, but he couldn't leave until the emperor returned to the palace.Doro only smiled and said: Madam's garden is very beautiful. Doro has been here many times, and finally had the honor to stay here for one night.Yingluo laughed and said: Madam, don't blame me!Doro smiled again, but said nothing.

On the second day, the emperor didn't get up until Haishi, and returned to the palace after having breakfast and porridge in the Spring Garden.Fu Hengyi had already gone to the military plane.When leaving, the emperor and Doro walked in front, and Li Yu and Yingluo walked together. Yingluo asked him to take good care of the emperor, and he whispered: Madam, thank you, slave!Seeing the emperor go back refreshed, the servant is relieved!Although there are often plays in the palace, and the queen mother and ladies like to watch plays, the emperor is still here to rejoice!Madame's plays here are always ingenious.Yingluo comforted him and said: This troupe belongs to the emperor, and this place can be regarded as the emperor's home, he can come anytime.I think the emperor is alright, don't think too much, Concubine Rong will be back soon!

The emperor sat in the sedan chair, smiled and waved with Yingluo, Yingluo didn't speak, and waved with him with a smile, Doro put down the sedan chair curtain, and smiled at Yingluo by the side of the sedan chair: Thank you Madam for your kind hospitality, Madam, take care !Yingluo said to him: Master Doro, we will meet later.

The fact that the emperor went to the Spring Harmony Garden to listen to an opera naturally spread to Nala's ears. How could the theater building in the Spring Harmony Garden be compared to the Nanfu, the Palace and the Paradise? She knew that the reason why the Emperor liked to go there was because of Wei Yingluo. , when Concubine Rong went out, the emperor no longer had any scruples to favor Wei Yingluo, but she was already someone else's wife, so she only thought the emperor was ridiculous.Yuan Chunwang was naturally very unhappy, and since Zhen'er had to be ancestrally sacrificed, he had other thoughts and decided to find another court lady.He thought of a maid in Xinpin's palace named Bai Lu.

This court lady is not yet 20 years old, she is not beautiful, but she has white skin and thin eyes, she is quite charming, when she meets Yuan Chunwang on the road, she winks at him. , so he took advantage of an inquiry to send things to Concubine Xin's palace, and specially called all the eunuchs and maids to give them a lecture, asking them to take good care of Concubine Xin during the critical period, and the emperor will reward her extra.Then I picked a few to stay and give them a private lecture, saying that some people reported that these few were lazy, and Bai Lu was also on the list. I couldn't help being frightened, but happy to see Yuan Chunwang.

When he and Bai Lu were alone in the room, he reprimanded him as usual, but Bai Lu kept giggling, and finally stood up and sat directly on his lap.He pretended to be furious, but Bai Lu kissed him, and he softened along with the flow, and pushed her away after a while.Bai Lu smiled and said, "Director Yuan, you should just accept your slaves!"Can slaves serve people?But not tired and lazy.Custody teaches you to be comfortable!Yuan Chunwang squinted his eyes and said: Really?What's good about you?Bai Lumei smiled and said: You will gradually understand the benefits of being a slave.Yuan Chunwang coughed and stood up, Bai Lu hurriedly said: I understand that you and Aunt Zhen'er are a loving couple.Yuan Chunwang went out.This Bai Lu was in a daze, and lost her temper.

But after a few days, a young eunuch sent her a letter, she opened it and found that it was Yuan Chunwang who asked her to meet, after reading the letter, she felt very happy.Since then, the two have often met in the uninhabited Langyin Pavilion next to the Zhuyu Tower, but no one found out.Yuan Chunwang felt that she was indeed much stronger than Ziwen, so he actually found a wooden stake.It was only later that I found out that this Bai Lu had met several times before, and either she committed a crime and was demoted or lost her life. It turns out that she is no longer a Qing girl. If compared with this Bai Lu, Zhen Er is also a bowl of soup without salt. , fell in love with Bai Lu more and more, and the two had a fierce fight.

Yuan Chunwang found an opportunity and transferred her to the satin warehouse, because Bai Lu liked beautiful clothes, and the satin warehouse often rewarded the servants with clothes.Bai Lu was very grateful to him, and was even more devoted to him, and she was devoted to him. He just felt like a fish in water, and gradually, her heart for Wei Yingluo faded.

Fu Hengguo, as he himself said, rode to Miyun with Duoluo Kuaima in the early morning of the next day, and left the palace with the Empress Dowager and Concubine Rong in the evening of the next day. Inlaid with yellow flags, Uzhina was wearing a veil, sitting in a carriage and accompanying the truck team.Because Uzhina's situation is very special, the journey must be slow. He asked Doro to accompany Uzhina's car, and he took care of the carriage of the Queen Mother and Concubine Rong.Along the way, Concubine Rong had a lot of conversations with him, although they were all superficial responses, but Concubine Rong was very happy in her heart, and he also felt very happy.

When resting at night, he talked to the queen mother again. When the queen mother asked about the emperor's situation, he told him about Wang Youdun.Doro took care of Uzhina, treated her with respect and thoughtfulness, but Uzhina found out that Doro didn't know who she was, only that her name was Gao Yun, so she was not surprised, so she asked Fu Heng.Fu Heng only smiled and said: He didn't ask, so I didn't tell him either.Uzhina asked in surprise: Didn't His Majesty the Emperor tell him?Fu Hengdao: This is the secret decree from the emperor.Uzhina nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Baljur once told him that things in the palace were more complicated, so she told her not to ask more questions.Fu Hengdao: The less people know about you, the better.She nodded again.
