Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

Yingluo looked at Fu Heng in amazement, and said: How could the young master doubt me?Fu Heng shook his head and said: Of course you treat the emperor differently than you treat me.Yingluo said: You are not allowed to think wildly.Fu Hengdao: I'm not thinking wildly, but what I said is right, isn't it?Yingluo laughed and said: The emperor is brother-in-law, I treat him the same as you treat him.Fu Heng smiled and nodded, and said: But he is still a man who loves you, although he treats Concubine Rong differently from you.In his heart, you are Wei Yingluo, no longer a concubine Ling, but you are not a younger brother or sister either.

Yingluo said angrily: You bullied me again!I must tell my mother!Fu Heng smiled and said: "Okay, I won't say it anymore, I don't mind, I said it earlier."Yingluo was still angry, and said: Of course you don't mind, now you have Long'er and Jiang Jiang.Fu Hengdao: Aren't they your children too?Yingluo said: "Their surname is Fucha."Fu Heng laughed: Your surname is Fucha too.Yingluo said angrily again: I don't care about his affairs anymore, lest you get suspicious.Fu Heng then hugged her into his arms, patted her on the back lightly, and said, "Okay, okay...

In fact, the couple didn't know that the emperor and the queen mother wanted Wei Mei to participate in palace affairs two years ago, but it was shelved only because Wei Mei was pregnant and gave birth one after another.

Bingxi had an accident that day, and Yingluo didn't tell the emperor about taking Ye Tianshi on a long trip, so she wrote a letter to the emperor.The emperor naturally agreed, and sent someone to Changchun | Pharmacy to deliver a secret decree to Ye Tianshi. This was the day before the Shangyuan Festival, and Ye Tianshi was extremely happy.Yingluo knew that this was also the emperor's grace to Ye Tianshi.After the people from the palace left, Yingluo looked at the stack of letter papers in the box on her desk, feeling very emotional. What Fu Heng said yesterday was right, the emperor was an important person in her heart.In the past two years, she has actually worried a lot about him, from Shen Bi, to the Qian family, to Wei Mei, to An'er, and everything related to the former empress. Of course, all these things are closely related to herself and Fu Heng. .Because of the Fu Heng siblings, she will never be able to avoid the emperor.

Now Changchun | The east side room of the main building of the second courtyard of the pharmacy is her study where she handles pharmacy affairs.The casket and letter paper were always on the desk.This is exactly what the emperor asked Li Yu to give her when he met her at Zhengjue Temple last year.He never wrote back to her, but sent her letter paper just because he wanted her to write to him often, his temper!

This letter paper is painted gold Ruyi cloud pattern powder wax paper, which is imitation of the famous paper "Mingren Palace Paper" in Yuan Dynasty, a yellow powder wax paper made of mulberry bark as raw material.Both sides of the paper are waxed with yellow powder, and finally appear pale pink, and then lacquer painting with wishful cloud pattern, the back of the paper is sprinkled with gold flakes, and the lower right corner of the front of the paper is engraved with the official script "Imitation of Mingren Palace Paper in the Year of Qianlong".This paper is smooth and fine, with very few fibers, and three to four sheets can be opened layer by layer, and each sheet can be used.This paper is expensive to make at first glance, obviously it was specially made by the emperor for her.

And that box is a huanghuali wood inlaid hunting picture cover box, simple and dark brown, with an ivory carved Yangyouji hunting picture inlaid on the cover.Yang Youji was a great archer during the Spring and Autumn Period of the King of Chu.To prepare for the war, the kings of the Communist Party of Chu held an archery competition, and Yang Youji participated in it.There are auspicious clouds and white geese in the sky, grassland, stones and bamboo forests on the ground. Yang Youji is wearing a white feather hunting cap and hunting clothes, riding a white horse with four hooves, holding a bow in his hand. The rabbit with arrows, all kinds of treasures are meticulous and complex, the decorations are lifelike, and the expressions of the characters are vivid.Later, it was appraised by an antique shop, and it was the work of Zhou Zhu, a master carving artist during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.

Along with the letter paper, there are also two small Ziying pens with bamboo tubes and a small stone scroll-style inkstone at one end.The small inkstone is firm and smooth, with stone eyes and iron wire textures, natural and vivid, and made into a book-style red sandalwood inlaid jade chi inkstone box.Xiao Ziying pen is a tribute pen made by Wuxing, Zhejiang. She knew from the time she was in the palace that the emperor himself liked to use this pen.The barrel and cap of this pen are made of bamboo, straight and even.The tip of the brush is made of Zihao, with a thin root and long waist, in the shape of a blue core, with a sharp and transparent tip, which is the characteristic of Hu brush.There is a note inside the box saying call Li Yubu when it is used up.

There are also the looms and stone blue satin embroidered eight groups of Kuilong holding longevity gowns given to Yujingyuan by the Ministry of Internal Affairs last year.These are all the emperor's heart for her.Although now on the surface, he treats her like the emperor should treat a married woman.She has been using this stationery to write letters to the emperor ever since.At that time, I made purses for the emperor for Fu Heng, but that was also her wish for the emperor. It is undeniable that he is indeed an important man in her life...

Fu Heng knows the emperor better than she does, and of course Fu Heng understands the emperor.And Fu Heng also understands her, what she loves is Fu Heng, this will never change, Fu Heng is her husband, the father of her child, and soon she will have a child for him... Thinking of this, I feel feel sweet.The letter between her and the emperor was just talking about things and a few words of concern. She asked Fu Heng to read it, but Fu Heng didn't read it.It's just that when Fu Heng declared that he didn't mind, she felt a little unwilling.Now she looks at the square box and the neat letter papers, and thinks that the three of them are doing well. Everyone knows in their hearts that there is no concealment, no deception, and no intention of concealment or deception... She still remembers, she It was the first time I wrote him a letter using the letter paper, inkstone and small pen that the emperor gave me, saying that I was playing "White Bird"...

Then he remembered the boyish look on Fu Heng's face when he coaxed her to kiss her last night, and felt that he had returned to the day when they were teenagers. He held her hand eagerly, because he knew that the person was Hong Zhou, but he didn't tell himself.At first I really thought it was him, and tried to trick him with all kinds of tricks, pig legs, salt bags... At that time, he kept saying that he was inappropriate... and he couldn't help laughing.

Then she thought of Dorothy again.Although she was never worried about him, and even made a good match between him and Rong Rong, and he had become her brother-in-law, Doro still treated her as always in her heart, and she knew it by the way he looked at her.This is the eternal secret between her and Doro.Fu Heng can't know, Rong Rong can't know, and the emperor can't know. "A man's mind is really unfathomable." She felt that this was the truth.Not to mention Fu Heng and the emperor, even such a young Doro, who is actually not a few years older than Yongqi.Doro didn't say anything anymore, his attitude towards her was the same as before, and he never talked to her much, but he just liked her and thought she would keep this secret. The relationship between people depends on fate, right? "There is no reason," Doro said.

Hu Jiajia felt that Yongqi came to her room more often, cared for her, and never mentioned that she stopped taking the medicine and didn't tell him. That was actually Fujin Hezhu's intention. Putting her mind down, Mammy Cao also said She is a mother who is more expensive than a child, and she was even more happy when she heard it.At the beginning, she vomited for a while, but it wasn't severe, she just felt sleepy overall, so everyone in the palace and the Hu family were relieved that she would not be like Concubine Xin.Before Wei Mei often came to Chonghua Palace to see her, after three months, she went to Chuxiu Palace, sorry to let Lingfei come again.The two of them also kill time with music, chess, calligraphy and painting.Wei Mei would ask her how Yongqi treated her, and she would tell them all.Concubine Ling was very happy for her when she saw all kinds of happy faces, but she didn't know that Yong Qi really liked Yi Boer.

On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, two longevity lamps stand in front of the Qianqing Gate in the palace, rising from the ground, several meters high and colorful.As usual, the emperor moved to the Yuanmingyuan to hold a banquet for his ministers.There were 32 delicacies in the luncheon held at Fengsan Selfless Hall that day, including shredded bird’s nest chicken, roast duck, sliced ​​wild duck, steamed duck with velvet antler, steamed chicken, roasted venison, bacon and various vegetables. Steamed chicken glutinous rice balls, etc., in addition to soup, milk tea, fine wine, frozen meat, and desserts.

At night, the emperor took his seat on the large platform of the "High Mountains and Long Rivers" hall in the Old Summer Palace, accompanied by princes, nobles, courtiers and Mongolian princes, enjoying various desserts and drinks while watching the fireworks set off on the other side of the lake.Nearby, there are wrestling and lantern dances performed by eunuchs in the palace and some entertainers.The married woman also had a dinner with the queen in the apse of Fengsan selfless hall, and then watched fireworks and performances.In the evening, on the second quarter of the unitary lunar new year, while watching the fireworks, everyone used the Lantern Festival, fruit boxes and a plate of pastry fruits.Wei Mei and Hu Jiajia stayed in the palace because they were pregnant.

There are three kinds of Yuanxiao, which are fruit stuffing, red bean paste stuffing and five kernel stuffing.The bean paste filling is self-explanatory, and the fruit filling is the green and red silk fruit material.The emperor's favorite is Wuren stuffing. The specific method is to "use sugar to condense pine nuts, walnuts and other fruit materials to make stuffing, and shake it into a round shape in glutinous rice noodles."Like him, Concubine Rong also loves Wuren.

In the evening, Yongqi and He Zhuyibor stayed in the Old Summer Palace, still in the backyard of Wuling where they lived.Yongxuan's family still didn't come to the festival, and the front yard of Wuling Spring was completely dark.Although the two elder brothers hardly communicated in Wuling Spring, so Hejuybor and Duanxiu were not considered close, but when the fourth Fujin was buried, the fifth elder brother's house sent the funeral, thinking that she used to live in a magnificent front In the courtyard, young and young, full of flowers and riches, the family enjoyed themselves happily, but now their souls are withering, and the three of them are full of sadness in their hearts.

Yong Qi sent He Zhu back to the room first, and then left in a hurry.He Zhu wanted him to keep him very much, so he couldn't speak, feeling very melancholy.Nanny Tao understood in her heart, and silently helped her wash and comb her hair.

After Yongqi came back, neither Yibor nor he changed their clothes, but hurriedly looked at the celestial globe inlaid with pearls given to Yongqi by the emperor today.Nanny Pan smiled and led the crowd to retreat.

The celestial globe is a model made of gold by the Construction Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.The celestial globe consists of three parts: seat, bracket and celestial sphere.The celestial sphere is inlaid with 28 constellations, 2000 constellations and more than [-] stars with pearls, and engraved with Ziweiyuan, Tianshiyuan and Taiweiyuan.There are equatorial rings and horizon rings around the sphere, and there is also a time plate at the North Pole.The sphere is supported by a four-legged gold bracket surrounded by nine dragons.There is a four-beast-foot ring seat below, with the four elephant characters of East, South, West and North on the seat, and the center of the seat is a compass and compass, which is exquisite and exquisite to the extreme.Yongqi knew in her heart that this was a special gift made by Huang Ama for herself, because she and Yiboer studied astronomical algorithms together and also liked stargazing.

After looking at it for a long time, Aunt Ybor put away the celestial globe, and the two sat at the table to drink tea.Yiboer asked about the end of Yongqi's green camp reorganization.Yong Qi said: "The Ministry of War's summary for Huang Ama has been finalized. Tomorrow I will be responsible for transcribing it and submitting it to Huang Ama.Ybor happily said: Great!Mr. Fu Heng finally finished it before he went to the west side, so Elder brother can take a rest.

Yongqi nodded, and said: I still want to continue my studies in the Ministry of War. Master Fu Heng will be away these days, and you, Ama, will guide you.Ibor was very happy and asked, "Ama and you getting along well?"Yong Qi smiled and kissed her on the face, and said: We still talk about you every day, he always said that your mother misses you very much, and since I went to the Ministry of War, I finally know a lot of news about you.Ibor nodded happily.

Seeing her smiling like a bright pomegranate flower under the lamp, Yongqi felt emotional, pulled her into her arms, and whispered in her ear: In more than a year, you will be able to give birth to our baby.Yiboer remembered that he had been married to Yongqi for almost three years, from an ignorant young girl to a plump and beautiful little woman, his heart was very sweet, and he kissed Yongqi.Her menstrual cycle has stabilized now, and she still often kicks the shuttlecock and dances the sword. Since last autumn, she has learned to ride a horse, and the two of them often go to the racecourse to race horses.She has a small frame, but because she likes to move around, she is tall and healthy, with tight and plump breasts, lively and courageous, and Yong Qi loves her even more.

At this time, she was tossed and turned in Yong Qi's arms, and Yong Qi only felt very passionate, and she was no longer sad like before.Ebol also felt burned with enthusiasm, and raised his hands to wrap around Yongqi's neck.After a while, Yong Qi picked her up, carried her over, and laid her down on the couch.

Yongqi is wearing a deep crimson Kesi silk tulle gauze five-claw dragon robe with horseshoe sleeves auspicious dress, lake-colored dark tangle of branches and lotus on the ground gauze lining, stone blue plain satin sleeves, stone blue silk silk multicolored cloud bat walking dragon collar and sleeves On the side, azurite pieces with golden edges, calm and magnificent.Today He Zhu was wearing a stone-blue auspicious gown with cloud and dragon makeup and brocade, looking calm and dignified.But the auspicious clothes worn by Ibol are fragrant and dark-colored gowns with horseshoe sleeves and Zhang satin with dark hooks of lotus bats. The lining is made of moon-white dark flower silk, and the collar and sleeves are embroidered with plum blossoms, narcissus, carnation, ganoderma lucidum, butterflies, bats, colorful clouds, etc. The pattern contains auspicious meanings such as "Lingxian wishing birthday", "harmony and happiness", and is light and elegant.At this moment, he leaned over her, feeling it very much.The two kissed again, and while kissing, Yi Boer unfastened Yongqi's clothing belt and then buttoned it...

After the matter was over, the two stayed quietly for a while, and Yi Boer suddenly said: "Brother, do you want me to stop taking the medicine now?"Then I won't go riding.Yong Qi shook her head and said: You must listen to Dr. Ye, and you are not allowed to act recklessly.Yiboer nodded and said: Brother, why do you like me so much?Yong Qi laughed, closed her eyes and said: What about you?why do you like me so muchYbor said: Do I like you?I just think Elder Brother is good on the bed... Before I finished speaking, Yong Qi turned over and pressed her under her body to tickle her. She was the most ticklish, so she laughed crazily and said out of breath: "Forgive me!" ...Forgive me...Brother...I don't dare anymore...Brother...I really can't take it anymore...

Yongqi said: Really? !Still continue to yell at her.She begged for mercy: I don't dare anymore!Only then did Yong Qi let her go.lying beside her.She calmed down her panting, closed her eyes, and said: I love you.Yongqi hummed, let out a long breath, and closed her eyes.Ybor held his hand, interlocked his fingers, and asked: Do you think my sister will have a boy or a girl?Yongqi didn't answer, she asked again: Do you like boys or girls?Yongqi said: I like everything you gave birth to.Ybor laughed, leaned his head, looked at him and asked: What about my sister?Yong Qi still closed her eyes and said: I like them too.

During the Lantern Festival, all elder brothers and female relatives received rewards as usual.What Fujin Hezhu got was a wooden gold-lacquered bird-sounding cage. The bird-sounding cage is round, and there are music and mechanical devices to control the activities of the birds in the base.After starting, in the sound of music, the bird twitters and turns around, which is very interesting.Hu Jiajia got a small hardwood abacus with agate seeds, and Yiboer got a wooden telescope painted with golden flowers. The barrel is made of wood, covered with green lacquer, painted with red plum blossoms and golden leaves. It is an old thing from the Kangxi Dynasty.Yong Qi said that these were all selected by Concubine Qing from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then asked to be rewarded by the emperor. The other elder brothers were also selected by their respective mothers and concubines first.

And Yongqi's annual gift to Ibor is a paper catfish kite, she likes it very much, and she will fly it when the weather is good.The kite takes the meaning of "every year is more than enough", and the main pattern is "Sea House Adding Chips" which means birthday celebration: the center is the Temple of Heaven, and there is a small house in the altar, which means a sea house, and there are small bottles containing chips; around the Temple of Heaven are eight dancing All the cranes hold chips in their mouths and want to put them in the sea house.The auxiliary pattern of the kite is the painted picture of sea water and river teeth.The fish eyes of the kite can move, and the long and curved fish whiskers at the top can dance with the wind. The combination of warm and cold tones and contrasting color differences create a warm and cheerful atmosphere.
