Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

Years later, the fourth elder brother wrote a letter of repentance, and after the emperor accepted it, he returned to the Ministry of Officials.In June, the emperor asked him to enter the Ministry of Industry as a student.Let his uncle Jin Jian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, teach him personally.

Fu Sen breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got a good night's sleep. After Yong Xun returned to the Ministry of Officials, he would supervise him personally, and he dared not assign it to anyone else.After Tari returned to Beijing, he once invited him to come to his house for a small banquet to express his condolences, saying that he was ashamed, but he could not speak for him because he was troubled by Tari, and prepared a lot of supplements for him.Tali understood his difficulties, and said that he was lucky to have a good daughter, and now he is a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Punishment. Although the job is a little harder and he is far away from right and wrong, it is not bad. Both of them are very emotional.

Jin Jian was very happy. He hadn't seen his nephew for a long time. Seeing that Yong Xuan had matured after getting married, he felt relieved when he thought of his elder sister who died early.He naturally knew about Cheng Hao's incident a few years ago, so he found a time to talk to Yong Xun earnestly and earnestly for a long time, asking him to understand the emperor's painstaking efforts. As a prince, Xuangui should treat others more generously.Yong Xie also expressed regret for the incident years ago, and the queen and prince had already persuaded him.I will be modest and prudent, and learn from my uncle well.Jin Jian was even happier.

The queen and Hongzhou were also very happy. It seemed that the emperor was as relieved of Yongxuan as before.In August, when Yong Qi went to the Ministry of War, Fu Heng wanted to take Yong Qi with him personally, and the two of them couldn't say anything. Anyway, Yong Xun still had to continue taking military affairs classes, and Hong Zhou didn't care much about the green camp. The closest one is the Eight Banners Army.Although the green battalion has a large number of people, it lives under the Eight Banners Army, and the task of rectifying the green battalion is complicated and arduous.The Queen had about the same mind as him.Then, the emperor asked Hong Zhou to let Yong Xun participate in some Zhengbai Banner pro-military affairs, and the two were even happier, feeling that the emperor did not favor one over the other.

The news of Hu Jiajia's pregnancy caught the Queen and Yongxuan off guard. Although the men and women didn't know about it, Wufang finally took the lead.There is no news of Yongxuan's two princesses, and Mingxiu is young, so there is nothing he can do.Yongxuan himself didn't care.Seeing that Yongxuan was concentrating on his homework, riding and shooting and learning poorly, Nala felt relieved.

But after October, Mingxiu suddenly fell ill.The Tai Hospital said that she was emotionally depressed, and her accumulation turned into a fire.Mingxiu had been depressed for a long time, and the fourth elder brother's house didn't know the reason, but Nala knew very well that she blamed herself for the lives of the maid Qiaoer and the eunuch Zhao Dong.

Nala has comforted her many times, saying that it was not her fault, and asked her to let go, but Mingxiu was only 15 years old, and she was a lady who received an orthodox education. She could never forgive herself, and she could not tell anyone. Including her own Ama and Erniang.Beginning in October, it developed into dizziness and headache, distending pain in the flanks, night sweats, and gradually became haggard. The hospital took medicine, but it did not improve.Aligun and his wife have always loved this sensible and obedient second daughter, and they are very worried, but there is nothing they can do.

At this time, the emperor took Hong Zhou, Empress Rong and other ministers to Rehe Qiuwei and did not return. After the imperial hospital reported to Fu Heng, Fu Heng asked Ye Tianshi to go to Si Age's mansion for consultation. Ye Tianshi saw that the medicine was not good. , so he told Fu Heng that Sifu Jin had a heart disease, most of which was due to the unsatisfactory life of the couple after marriage.Fu Heng then went back to understand the Queen Mother, and asked the Queen Mother to persuade her.

The queen mother was very concerned, and immediately called Yongxie to ask. Hearing that the young couple had a very good relationship, she sighed to Madam Liu, Mingxiu's child was not a lucky one, and the fourth and fifth elder brothers' Fujin was not in good health. .Nanny Liu knew that the old man was sad, so she said, "Did the emperor punish Si elder brother last year and she was frightened?"

The queen mother said: "Oh, this child can't think about it like this. It's not right for the emperor to educate his son. The emperor is also doing it for the good of Yongxuan, and it doesn't matter much."Grandma Liu said: Sifu Jin is young.The Empress Dowager said: "Don't mention this in front of others, lest the emperor blame himself."Mother Liu said: "Yes, the slaves and maidservants naturally wouldn't say it."

After the emperor and his entourage came back from Rehe, they found out about Mingxiu's illness, and the emperor immediately issued an order to teach Mrs. Aligun to visit Si Age's mansion frequently.Nala was shocked, fearing that the past would be exposed, which would cause the emperor to dislike the fourth elder brother, and even... because the insider still had Yuan Chunwang, she discussed it with Yuan Chunwang.Yuan Chunwang said: Master, now we can only abandon these four Fujin.Nala was taken aback, and said: You mean...

Yuan Chunwang said: "There's no need to do anything. There is no cure for her heart disease. It seems that she will never get better. Just let her go."Think about it again, which family's daughter to find for the fourth elder brother next, it's important to get the emperor's grandson early.Hearing this, Nala burst into tears.She likes Mingxiu and understands that she is a good girl and has a heart for Yongxuan.Yongxuan also liked Mingxiu very much, more than his two concubines.Yuan Chunwang persuaded: "Madam, it's not that this slave is cruel. Think about it, is this slave right? The slave is all for the sake of the empress and the four elder brothers and the twelve elder brothers."

The emperor's thoughts were exactly the same as Liu Mama said, and Concubine Rong knew what he was thinking, so she said to him: Your majesty, you think too much, things have passed for so long, Sifujin just got sick.In fact, Mingxiu has been depressed, but Nala naturally concealed it and did not report it, so no one in the palace knew about it.Only then did the emperor talk about Mingxiu's mercy in the incident of the court lady's suicide, saying that she thought she was a good child, and thought she would be good for Yongxuan if she stayed by Yongxuan's side.Concubine Rong actually knew about it from Concubine Qing, so she didn't say anything.

At the beginning of December, Mingxiu's illness could no longer drag on and reached the dying stage.Yongxiu held her hand and wept bitterly. She looked at Yongxiu and felt extremely sad in her heart, but she smiled and said: Si elder brother, Mingxiu is fortunate to be husband and wife with you in this life, thank you for treating Mingxiu well, Mingxiu Embroidery has no regrets.Both the emperor and the queen's mother were very kind to Mingxiu, but Mingxiu was not blessed.Don't think about it anymore, Mingxiu wishes elder brother good health and a bright future.

Aligun and his wife were sent to see their daughter for the last time.Mingxiu said to her parents: "Ama, Erniang, Mingxiu devoted herself to a family like ours and enjoyed a lot of blessings. She is very lucky. Don't be sad."It's just that you raised Mingxiu, Mingxiu couldn't bear the joy, and now he can't repay it. It's all the daughter's fault. I hope to be reborn in Niu Hulu's house in the next life, and repay your kindness well.Aligun and his wife couldn't express their pain, they could only shed tears.Nala came from the palace in a hurry. Seeing this scene, she also shed tears.

Mingxiu wanted to talk to Nalashi alone, so everyone went out.Nala sat down in front of the bed, and said, "My good boy, if you have anything to say, just say it, and Queen Mother will definitely do it for you."Mingxiu said: "Emperor Niang, Mingxiu left, no one will know about that matter anymore, but fortunately I have asked other people carefully, no one knows, and no one suspects, don't worry.

Nala said: "Son, why can't you think about it like this!"The Queen's Mother advised you many times before, but you just didn't listen.Mingxiu looked at the top of the bed with empty eyes, and said: Qiao'er and Eunuch Zhao come to Mingxiu every day to ask for their lives, and Mingxiu owes them.Nala shook his head and said: I don't know how many slaves go to the palace every year, and there are not a few who died unjustly over the years.It's not worth it for you to marry into the royal family for such a thing.

Mingxiu shed tears, and said in a low voice: Maybe Queen Mother is right, but Mingxiu can't be indifferent. Qiaoer was killed by me, one life for another, it should be, and Eunuch Zhao is also because of me , Mingxiu has no complaints.He closed his eyes and stopped breathing.Nala's heart ached and horrified, he walked out of the room in a daze, Yongxie, Aligun and his wife, and the two Gege, seeing the appearance of the queen, came in together like a thunderclap, crying loudly.

After the queen returned to the palace, she told the emperor, and the emperor heaved a long sigh.Nala said: "My Majesty's condolences. In the end, it's her fate that the little fortune is poor, and Yongxuan is extremely sad."The concubine wants to give Yongxuan the granddaughter of the old thirteenth prince, Irgenjueluo, as the successor Fujin, so that he can cheer up as soon as possible.The emperor said: You can make arrangements for these things, and you should also comfort the family of Ali Gun, which is what I mean. In addition to the regulations, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will give 500 taels more for funerals.You have to discuss the matter of succession with Queen Empress and ask her to agree.But when the talent leaves, don't force yourself too much, Yong Xun.

After the Queen Xie En left, Concubine Rong came out with tears in her eyes, and said: Why is the Empress so anxious?The emperor looked out the door and shook his head.The emperor asked Hu Jiajia how he was again, Concubine Rong wiped her tears and said, "Both the imperial doctor and concubine Ling said that she is fine, don't worry."The emperor nodded.

Ye Tianshi checked Aisha's pulse and asked many questions in detail, but he didn't see any problem with her, and asked her to relax and go out to relax, maybe it would help.Elsa breathed a sigh of relief.After she left, Yingluo asked Ye Tianshi again, and Ye Tianshi said: "She has no problem, but she is almost thirty, so it's not that easy."Yingluo said: Can I take medicine?Ye Tianshi said: "Wait a minute, half a year is not long. I am worried about the medicine, and the child will have problems in the future."Yingluo said, "I don't worry about Dr. Ye's medicine."Ye Tianshi said: There is no perfect medicine, just wait a little longer, don't be impatient.Now it is actually impossible to know whether she really has a problem, we have to wait and see.Yingluo nodded.

After reading Yingluo's letter, Concubine Rong felt a little anxious, but naturally she wouldn't show it in front of Aisha, she only told her to relax, and Doctor Ye said it was okay if there was no problem.Aisha then said that she wanted to go back to Jinchuan secretly, and she had to take Pudawa back to meet her parents and Langka anyway.Concubine Rong asked the emperor, and the emperor discussed with Fu Heng, because after four months of hard work, the rectification of the green camp was coming to an end, so Fu Heng proposed to personally escort them back in the next year, and take care of some Jinchuan, Tibetan and border areas for the emperor by the way. The emperor also felt that it was appropriate to go back to Xinjiang and kill two birds with one stone.

Fu Heng told Yingluo after returning home, Yingluo smiled and said: You can finally take me to see Qinghai Prairie and Huijiang!I also want to see the place where the young master fought!Let's send Hai Lancha's home by the way.Fu Heng also smiled and patted her head.

Hai Lancha went back to Xinjiang for two years, and has been promoted to General Yili, in charge of the North and South Roads of Tianshan Mountain.This position was exactly what Fu Heng suggested to the emperor when he returned from returning to Xinjiang to inspect military affairs in the 21st year of Qianlong. After that, the two monarchs and ministers and Zhaohui made detailed discussions and plans one after another.With Hai Lancha as the first Yili general, the emperor can undoubtedly trust and rest assured.He was married before going to Yili, and then the couple separated in two places. His wife, Gabo Xihan, named Ruidong, stayed at home to take care of his mother, who is also 20 years old this year, and Hailancha About the same age as Fu Heng, the old lady kept asking her to go to Yili and live at her daughter's house by herself. Now Hai Lancha has stabilized in Huijiang, so Fu Heng and the others sent her there when they went west.

Wei Mei's daughter, Qigege Zhaohua, is now two years old. She has been raised by the Queen Mother since she came back from her southern tour.Half a year after the birth of the son, because Wei Mei was pregnant again, the emperor asked Wei Mei, and handed over the fourteenth elder brother Yonglu to Concubine Qing to raise her. up.After returning to the palace, because Concubine Rong lived in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, in order for her to take care of Fukang'an nearby, Concubine Qing was moved from the original Yonghe Palace to Yongshou Palace behind the Hall of Mental Cultivation, although Fukang'an still lived with Concubine Qing. Yongshou Palace, but Concubine Rong basically takes care of it herself, except when she is not in the palace.

Wei Mei is now seven months pregnant, and she is close to Hu Jiajia. After hearing the good news about Hu Jiajia, she often goes to stay with her to reassure the emperor, so she did not go to Qiuwei this year.With her company and comfort, Concubine Xin's shadow faded away, and everyone in the fifth room let go of their doubts.

Every night, Yongqi would first go to He Zhu and Hu Jiajia's house, and then rest at Yiboer's place. He would go to share a room with He Zhu for a few nights in a month, but He Zhu never got married, and his body was completely intact. alright.The good news about Hu Jiajia naturally made Hai Shi very happy. Yong Qi often told her about Hu Jiajia's situation in her letters. It's a teenager.The death of Sifu Jin Mingxiu made Gongzhong and Yujingyuan feel surprised and sad again, and Nanny Tao was also very shocked. She often advised He Zhu to keep her body, and looked down on others.

Ali Gun was hit hard by the death of his beloved daughter. His wife, the Guerjia family, was the younger sister of Martai, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi. Martai had also served as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi before. He asked to leave the capital and return to his original residence. Guangdong and Guangxi regions for many years.The Empress Dowager summoned the two couples into the palace to have a conversation, and tried to comfort them, but to no avail.The emperor understood his couple's feelings, and knew that Ali Gun was still shocked by what happened to Yongxuan last year, so he finally transferred him back to the post of governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Many sad things happened this year. Taking advantage of the new year, the emperor wanted to have a good time to comfort the empress dowager.So the Shufangzhai indoor stage in the Forbidden City performed plays for three consecutive days from the first day of junior high school.First, there is lunch on the first day of the first lunar month, and the "Blessings" and "Wan Fu You Tong" promised by the ministers are entertained.The next two days were lively in the harem itself, with repertoires such as "Shengping Treasure Raft", that is, the story of "Journey to the West", "Double Bao Case", "Sanchakou" and other excerpts, all of which were favorites of the Queen Mother.

Empress Nala and the emperor only went to the opera on the first day of the first day of the new year and the moon sacrifice ceremony in the morning of the second day. Afterwards, she said that she was not feeling well, and the queen mother was very upset, thinking that she did not want to serve in front of her.Concubine Rong persuaded the Queen Mother, saying that she must be in a bad mood because of Sifu Jin.The fourth elder brother lived in mourning in the mansion, so naturally he didn't come.On the second day of junior high school, Yongqi led his wives and concubines to pay New Year greetings to the Empress Dowager, Emperor Concubine Rong and Concubine Qing. After watching the play for a while, the Empress Dowager taught him to send Hu Jiajia back. Because Hu Jiajia had been pregnant for five months, He Zhu and Yibo I keep it to continue the fun.

Yingluo took her son back to Mashen Temple Street at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, because according to the Fucha Mansion's custom, the child was vaccinated at the age of two, and the mansion prepared mulberry pigtails, no frying beans, no splashing water, and enshrined the Pox Empress as a blessing. Long An wears a red dress.The cooked vaccinia was used, and Ye Tianshi took care of it all the way. Fu Heng would meet in the morning, return to Mashen Temple Street in the evening, and stay in the study.The couple were quite nervous, and they hadn't been safe for more than ten days. Fortunately, the child developed acne and recovered slowly. Everyone was relieved that Ye Tianshi returned home a year ago.

In the afternoon of the first day of the lunar new year, it is customary to go to the family temple to salute.The family temple is the ancestral hall of the Fucha family, also known as the Kexi Gong Temple, which was built by the emperor after the Junggar War.According to the emperor's will, the ancestral hall was built with five main halls, each with warm pavilions, and the gods were installed according to Zhaomu. Households live.Every spring and autumn, the officials of the Taichang Temple are sent to read the texts and offer sacrifices, and the sacrificial animals, fruit, wine and silk are handed over to the Taichang Temple for preparation.The construction of the ancestral hall and all the sacrificial utensils were handed over to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and the tablets and plaques and the sacrificial texts were drafted by the Yamen. When the temple was completed, the Imperial Academy wrote the sacrificial texts, and the Taichang Temple prepared the sacrificial offerings. .

The old lady first led the crowd to bow down to the Fu Heng merit stele bestowed by the emperor at the gate of the ancestral hall.
