Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

After the emperor left on the second day, Zi Wen came up to comb her hair and said, "Sister, I really admire you!"Now Ziwen followed Toya and became her first lady-in-waiting, but Toya insisted on calling her sister as before.Tuoya laughed and said: If the emperor could confer the concubine Rong, he would have done so long ago!Ziyun nodded and said: The emperor also has good intentions.

Tuoya said: "It's not convenient for the emperor to give it to the noble concubine, that's why he likes to hear people praise her!"Isn't praising her the same as praising the emperor? !It shows that the emperor has vision.This concubine Rong is really likable, and I like her too, she is really talented.Ziwen said: "During the morning meeting, the Empress looked at you with disdain, even the slaves couldn't stand it."Now apart from Concubine Rong and Concubine Ling Concubine, the emperor often comes here is Elder Sister.Tuoya said: "She is just a jealous woman, she is just pretending on weekdays, a person like her is in the middle palace, I am the first to refuse to accept it!"Zi Wen, just wait, I will avenge you sooner or later!

Ziwen couldn't help crying and said: Thank you sister!It turned out that because of being molested and abused by Yuan Chunwang for several years, and also terrified day and night, Ziwen developed symptoms of redness. After Ge found out, he took his moon silver to ask the imperial doctor to prescribe a prescription for recuperation, and then gradually recovered, and Toya knew that the cause of the disease was something that happened after Ziwen became her grand maid, so Ziwen wanted her to keep it a secret. Don't even tell Concubine Ying.

Tuoya said: She is the only one who can raise a son like the fourth elder brother and a slave like Yuan Chunwang. You should tell me earlier, I will think of a way early in the morning, and I will definitely not let him bully you.Are slaves not human beings?He is also a slave, he looks like a human being, and he is also the manager of the sixth house, but he is so perverted!Ziwen said: It turns out that he is very powerful in the palace, and the queen is behind him, how can I implicate you and the concubine Ying.Toya snorted and said: Power, a phoenix that has lost power is not as good as a chicken, and it is not as good as it used to be!

Ziwen said: "The concubine Ling is good, and the emperor treats her well."Looking at her rosy cheeks in the mirror, Tuoya was very satisfied, and said with a smile: Chuxiu Palace is definitely going to be a noble concubine, not to mention having an imperial heir again. Similarly, except for her lack of background and style, she is not inferior to Chengqian Palace's superficial, virtuous wife should be like her, and the Queen Mother must have valued her because of this. Taking care of Concubine Xin before made everyone in Liugong convinced.It's not just about being in charge, the emperor has turned over her brand so many times recently, isn't it just because he wants her to give birth to an heir?Can Chengqian Palace feel better?But I'm not envious, although I understand Sister Yingbi.

Zi Wen asked in surprise: "Sister, doesn't she want a child?"Tuoya said: "Of course it's good, but in this palace, the biological mother and adoptive mother are not the same thing, and you may not be able to raise your own children. You see, Lingfei gave birth to three, and none of them was raised by herself."Now that she still has to assist in palace affairs, how can she raise a child?Those children of hers just lived in the womb, in fact, they were just earning status for her mother-in-law.As for Concubine Rong, the emperor directly gave her the fifth elder brother who was about to grow up. Now that the fifth elder brother has been made a prince, she is really rich and honored.On that day, the emperor taught Castiglione to bring back the picture of caressing a cat that she drew for her. Didn't you see it too, it's so beautiful!

Zi Wen suddenly realized, and said: "Sister, what do you mean, the emperor will give you a child to raise in the future?"Tuoya said: Because the emperor takes care of Concubine Rong, he is not very fortunate to others.I was born in Baoyi as a court lady, and I had no heirs. Ama dismissed the official position and was only transferred to a doctor. When I got old, my legs and feet were not good. Ama still reluctantly served in the official position, and I became a nobleman, entirely by the emperor's grace .Concubine Ying's sister is fine. If we don't have any children and the emperor gives her the gift, even if it is given to me, I will raise it with her.

Zi Wen nodded and said: You and Concubine Ying are both good people, God knows, you will have your own children.After combing her hair, Toya smiled at the mirror: the most useful thing is what the emperor likes.

Ziwen asked again: Sister, do you really have no regrets?Toya said: I don't regret it, let alone keep my family, if I were a court lady and left the palace at the age of 25, what kind of marriage would I be able to marry?That is far worse than following the emperor.If you stay in the palace, you will be serving others even more.Concubine Ling originally decided to have this idea.Ziwen, if you want to...Ziwen shook her head and said: Concubine Ying and sister are both my great benefactors, I will stay in the palace and serve you for the rest of my life.Toya knew that she had a great fear of men and women, and she was cowardly, so she just comforted her with kind words, so she nodded and said: "Of course I won't treat you badly."

Just as he was talking, Desheng came again, saying that the emperor rewarded the nobleman of the Wu Dynasty with the lotus-leaf inkstone of Sheshi, Zi Wen was not surprised.Tuoya smiled, knowing that it was because the emperor showed her the Chinese poems he wrote on weekdays, and told her to devote herself to writing, and asked Ziwen to reward Desheng with a tael of silver, and Desheng went happily.Only the master and servant took a closer look at this small inkstone.The inkstone is made of She stone, the stone is blue and purple in color, the stone is firm and moist, and the texture is fine and dense, or it looks like eyebrow lines, or like brush silk, which is called ox hair pattern or ancient rhinoceros rib pattern.The inkstone is carved in the shape of a lotus leaf along with the shape of the stone, and the inkstone hall is wide.The edge of the inkstone pool is cut into a leaf shape, naturally forming a concave pool.In particular, this inkstone is equipped with a black lacquer inlaid mother-of-pearl dragon play bead pattern box. Although the inkstone is small, it is gorgeous and elegant, which shows the emperor's mind.

Toya was very happy in her heart, thinking of the charming romance with the emperor last night, looking at her rosy cheeks in the mirror, she felt extremely satisfied, how handsome and authoritative the emperor is!Although he was moody, but when his eyes fell on her, she felt like she melted instantly, willing to bow her head, and what a joyful melting it was!So he smiled and said: "The sky is so good. Tomorrow, I have invited Concubine Ying and the others to go fishing in the Royal Garden. It is a pity that this concubine has to stay in the house to raise her baby, and she is suffocated to death."

On the afternoon of the second day, concubines Ying, concubine Shen, nobleman Wu, nobleman Ming and many other young concubines went to the lotus pond in the imperial garden to stand and fish, watching mallard ducks and colorful mandarin ducks in the water, and many court ladies laughed and laughed together.Because of the hot weather, the emperor also went out for a walk in the garden, and then went back to critique papers. When he passed by and heard it, he came over to have a look. He saw all the girls standing side by side, graceful and graceful, chattering, and his heart was filled with joy.Seeing that the emperor was rarely so interested, Li Yu also laughed straight away.When everyone saw the emperor coming, they immediately knelt down to pay their respects. The emperor waved his hand, and when he walked to the middle, Concubine Ying hurriedly handed him the fishing rod in her hand.

The emperor was fishing, and everyone immediately quieted down.After a while, a carp was hooked, and the emperor was about to raise his pole, when suddenly a cool breeze passed by, and a gust of rain fell, everyone screamed, the emperor lifted the pole suddenly, and saw a fat carp weighing two catties Jumping alive on the hook.When the rain became heavy, everyone wanted to hug the emperor to avoid it. The emperor stopped the rod, and in a hurry, the fish slipped off the hook, fell into the pond with a plop, and disappeared.The emperor stumbled and said: Oh!Pity!

Li Yu saw that the emperor was going to be drenched like a chicken in an instant, so while teaching the little eunuch to hold an umbrella, Li Yu persuaded: "Long Live Lord, go to shelter from the rain!"If you don't leave, girls won't leave either!With so many protagonists, getting sick is a big deal.The emperor just said that, and all the concubines also laughed and covered their heads, and brought their maids back to the palace one after another.

In the evening of that day, Nala heard about what happened in the afternoon from Concubine Shen, so she sent Zhen'er to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to greet her, and asked the emperor if he had taken ginger soup. !Concubine Rong fed it herself!The queen mother also sent someone to ask in the afternoon.Zhen'er was very annoyed when she heard this, and she replied to Chengqian Palace and the queen, and said angrily: "Madam, why did you come here, you always keep the emperor in your heart, others don't appreciate it at all!"Already had good service!Concubine Shen is not favored either!Nalashi was teasing the parrot again, he only smiled when he heard the words, and said: She should stay by the emperor's side, shouldn't she be like this?Speaking of business, I will go to Shenwumen to give porridge tomorrow, Yuan Chunwang will take care of everything, right?

Zhen'er hurried back to get ready, Nala smiled, sat back on the couch, closed her eyes and picked out the beads, thinking: so what if you live in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but a high-ranking concubine who serves others, others and the emperor for fun, She still has to deal with the aftermath!

Because Concubine Rong got up late, she hurriedly combed her hair and put on makeup to go to the queen's court meeting without eating breakfast, so Nala always looked at her sleepy and silent, but she didn't reprimand her, and she often talked nicely A few words of greeting.Zhen'er has said many times in private that Concubine Rong's life is too indulgent, which is what the emperor is used to, and the empress should take care of it.But Nala said, since Concubine Rong herself doesn't care about her image in the Six Palaces, why bother to mention her, saying that the emperor is not happy when she turns back, so let her go.

That night, Nala walked into the inner study of Chengqian Palace, opened the curtain, entered the secret room, and looked at the two dancing candles.This was originally a partitioned small Buddhist hall, and a shrine was enshrined on the high platform against the wall, in which Guanyin was enshrined.There is a couplet on both sides of the shrine, which reads "Enlightenment of Zen Pass and face-wall skills have deeply formed the wonderful seal of the Buddha's heart".A row of candles is placed on a low platform in front of the shrine.

Once upon a time, she knelt here and burned incense and prayed: firstly, I wish my husband a thousand years; secondly, I wish my concubine always be healthy;It's been too many years, maybe it was the few years when the emperor came to the throne. At that time, Ama, Er Niang, younger brother, they were all still there... I entered the Prince's Palace and was granted the title of side Fujin by the late emperor. Within a year, Hong As soon as Li ascended the throne, he became busy, and he had the Sangong Sixth Court again... Er Niang said: Then you can suffer, I want to see the emperor, can I look at you pitifully, and look at you more!Why did I give birth to such a worthless daughter like you! ...

She was wearing a stone-blue silk tapestry gown, which looked even more dull in the darkness. The patterns used in the pattern were gouache, powder, pink, red, white, lake green, bean green, dark green, snow blue, snow gray, etc. The colors are intertwined, and there seems to be a soft haggardness.Then, she took off the Eighteen Beads, Emerald Tourmaline Bracelet from her skirt, held it in her hand, and looked at the Guanyin with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and just smiled.Then she spread her palms and looked at the bracelet.This bracelet is the Buddhist beads she often uses. It is made of eighteen pink tourmaline beads, and there are two "Buddha heads" with emerald beads in between. There is a cloud on the back of the panchang, with a pearl on the upper and lower sides, and two fruit-shaped dark green emerald pendant horns, with two small pearls on the pendant horns.

The eighteen sons imply the eighteen worlds of Buddhism, which has the meaning of praying for blessings and auspiciousness.Under the cover of two candles, this bracelet is radiant, with a quiet and noble elegance and beauty. It was one of the rewards given by the emperor when he made himself a concubine Xian. Since then, I have often pinned it on on the lapel...

In fact, Desheng was completely exaggerating. Concubine Rong ordered ginger soup to be boiled immediately, and later brought ginger soup to the front hall herself, but did not feed the emperor the soup.

Within a few days, news came out from the palace that the emperor wanted all the concubines and court ladies to wear Hanfu, tour the Imperial Garden together, and teach the court painter Castiglione Jin Tingbiao to paint together.The Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately sent Hanfu to the palaces, saying that anyone who is willing to participate can go.On that day, the emperor sat leaning against the railing in a tall suit, condescendingly looking down at the women in Han costumes crossing the bridge. Everyone had seasonal flowers on their heads, and the atmosphere was full of joy.

The leader is Concubine Rong, who is wearing a Han girl's bun, with red strings on her head, and a blue Hanfu covered with plum orchid patterns, followed by Concubine Shu, with a light green interior and a small blue dress the color of lotus root. Pair of flowers.After the painting was finished, the emperor wrote a poem on it, "Songnian powder is based on the fun of Dongshan, imitating the picture of having fun in the palace", which means imitating the ancient works of Song Dynasty Liu Songnian.

Naturally the queen didn't go, and Zhen'er was very upset, saying what's wrong with the emperor, such a disturbance made Concubine Rong even more outrageous, and the queen mother didn't care, and the queen mother always liked the flattering Concubine Shu, the same Leaving her alone.Nala just smiled and shook his head.

It was already the beginning of June. Due to the drought in Xinjiang, the climate change, and the long distance, Yingluo and Aisha’s early pregnancy discomfort intensified. The tribes inhabited by the Mongols stayed for more than ten days before returning to the road.So when they arrived in Yili, it was much later than expected.

Two years ago, the imperial court built a city on the north bank of the Yili River. The emperor named it Huiyuan City.

Fu Heng and his entourage entered the Huiyuan City Gate, and it was past morning, and the market was already open on the street, which was quite lively.Except for Fu Heng, it was the first time for everyone to travel back and forth to Xinjiang. Sitting in the car and looking around, they felt very fresh.Yingluo looked at the Hui men and women going back and forth on the street, thought of Huo Jizhan, and thought that Concubine Rong had already left her homeland and was now an imperial concubine in the Forbidden City, she felt infinitely moved.Knowing what she was thinking, Fu Heng said, "You can wear your green robe now!"Ying Luo nodded with a smile. She has very little luggage, all of which are bought locally, but she specially brought that green robe with her.

The altitude in Huijiang is not too high, and Pearl doesn't feel any discomfort anymore. She and Ruidong took a car, and seeing Ruidong was silent, she smiled and said, "I'm going to see Lord Sauron soon, aren't you happy?"Ruidong was taken aback when he heard the words, withdrew his mind, smiled and nodded.Pearl felt that she was quite strange, so she asked: What's wrong with you?Where is it uncomfortable?Ruidong shook his head and said: I'm a little tired.

The chariots and horses walked for a while and arrived at the General's Mansion.From a distance, I saw a gray bungalow, which was not very eye-catching.When walking through the long corridor to the gate of the mansion, I saw the gray tile-roofed houses on both sides were the residences of soldiers. In front of the houses, there were women and children raising ducks and feeding chickens.It was very interesting for everyone to watch.Suddenly, the horse at the front of the team neighed. It turned out that it was a little boy galloping across the corridor, and Hu Lin immediately reined in his horse and stood up.The child was about four or five years old. He was so startled that he fell in the middle of the road.

Hu Lin got off his horse immediately, helped him up, and asked him if he was injured.The child's face was rubbed by the gravel road, a small patch of bright red appeared on the side of the cheek, and the blood was profuse, but he didn't cry.Before he could answer, he saw a thin young woman in a smoked maroon two-piece suit approaching, squatted down, immediately hugged the child in her arms, and shouted: Liangliang, Liangliang, are you okay? !Erniang is here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!Busily wiped his face lightly, and blew again, but he spoke Chinese, Hu Lin immediately accompanied him, and Zhatiwei and Ah Zheng got off their horses.Fu Heng also got out of the carriage, stepped forward, and apologized to the young woman.Seeing that they were all dressed as Mongolian businessmen, the young woman was very surprised. She raised her head and looked at Fu Heng, who immediately froze.

There were tears in the young woman's eyes, and she was a little bit angry. Seeing Fu Heng staring at her, she became even angrier. She wiped her face, stood up, and was about to speak.Suddenly, a crisp voice called out: Mingyu!When the young woman looked intently, she saw a Mongolian woman approaching and called her again: Mingyu.The young woman and Hu Lin were both extremely strange.This Mongolian woman is naturally Yingluo. Fu Heng came back to his senses, held Yingluo, and said in a low voice: She is not Mingyu, she just looks like her.Only then did Yingluo's mind thump, and she realized that she had admitted the wrong person.
