Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

After Rongrong left, Yingluo taught Tweety to look for things in the storeroom, and Tweety brought a yellow-ground blue flower plate with the pattern of broken branches and pomegranate flowers and fruits. .Yingluo said: Sure enough, our family has such a plate, which is the same style as this set of gardenia plates. I got it from Er Niang on Mashen Temple Street.Cui'er pursed her lips and said with a smile: This durian flower just means that you and your lord will have more children and more blessings!Yingluo happily admired the four plates for a while, and then said that she asked someone to take the things to her bedroom, and planned to replace the antique shelf.

Tweety agreed, and was about to help Yingluo back to the backyard of Yicui Hall, when the concierge brought in another servant, she took a closer look, and saw that the servant had bright eyes and was disguised as a man, it turned out to be Ybor, she couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly dismissed Of the other people in the room, only Tweety was left to talk to her alone.Haishi said that Yiboer often came to the mansion in disguise, but did not mention that she dressed like this.

Ybor greeted her with a smile, saying that Yongqi knew they were back, and it was inconvenient for him to come to the door, so he asked her to come and see and say hello, she usually dressed up like this to hide her, and told the guards to disguise themselves and ride in an ordinary carriage , so as not to cause trouble to Rong Wangfu and Fu Heng and his wife.Yingluo then asked Yongqi and Prince Rong's residence about the situation in detail.Hearing about the danger of Hu Jiajia giving birth to a daughter, I was somewhat afraid.Yiboer smiled and said: Don't worry, auntie, after Zhezhe was born, brother and sister will be fine, and my sister told me that if she didn't go to the ghost gate that day, she wouldn't be where she is today.

Yingluo smiled and pulled Yibor over, looked at her and said: You can finally have a baby!Eborah looked happy, but nodded, and then looked at Yingluo's swollen belly.Pearl laughed at the side and said: Little Gege is not afraid, little Gege has a good body, my aunt often tells me that you will get a man at once!Yi Boer blushed, and said: Don't disappoint Er Niang and Elder Brother when the time comes!Seeing her appearance, Yingluo comforted her and said, "Yongqi definitely won't think so. Your mother-in-law is just saying that, both men and women are her grandchildren!"Yiboer laughed and said: Erniang has already had a granddaughter, so naturally she wants to hold a grandson.

Yingluo suddenly remembered something, and asked: Is there any news about He Zhu?Yi Boer shook his head and said: She is still taking medicine, Concubine Rong asked the Tai Hospital to show her, and taught her to take ginseng nourishing pills.Later I heard from my elder brother that Concubine Rong told him that the imperial doctor said that Fujin had a congenital deficiency. Both my sister and I knew about it, but we just kept it from Fujin's house, lest she would be sad if she found out.Yingluo felt sad and planned to ask Ye Tianshi to show her.So he said to Yi Boer: "Jiang Jiang's birthday is a few days later, Yong Qi can't leave, and it's not good for him to come. I'll ask you guys to come and have fun, and bring Zhe Zhe here for us to have a look!"Yi Boer was very happy, and said: "That's a good feeling, Er Niang has never seen Zhe Zhe!"

After Yiboer went back, Yingluo wrote a letter to Concubine Rong.Concubine Rong read the letter and said that Yiboer often went to Yujing Garden to cook for Yongqi. She and the emperor knew about it, so Yingluo was relieved.Yingluo received the letter, smiled, and thought: I originally wanted Concubine Rong to help Hai's mother and son meet, but I didn't expect her family to have a countermeasure, and they have passed the bright road. The emperor is the most pleasing and filial, so Yongqi knows, The emperor will not stop him... He really has grown up!

That night, Yongqi went home and went to Hu Jiajia's courtyard after dinner.The two entered the house, and Zheng Ying gave Hu Jiajia a set of black velvet coral beaded small shovels (gao1) including birch bark bows, sacks, arrows, riding whips, etc., saying that it was a gift from the emperor recently, as a reward for riding and shooting, the prince Keep it close.Jia Jia told Madam Cao to put it away, and Yong Qi taught Zhe Zhe to be carried up.This child is more than five months old, and she is getting more and more beautiful. She has both the advantages of her parents. Yong Qi loves her very much, and every time she comes home, she will come to this room to hug her for a while.Zheng Ying smiled at her again: Elder brother stay here tonight, Ge Ge prepare.

Hu Jiajia was very surprised, and saw that the father and daughter were very happy, so she ordered Madam Cao to spread the bedding and incense.Then he also walked to Yongqi's side and looked at his daughter. She was wearing a little red thin jacket, she was plump with pink make-up and jade, and there was a red mark between her eyebrows. She was looking at Yongqi with a smile, her eyes were shining brightly, Make a babbling sound.Yong Qi teased her little face with her fingers, and said to her: "My name is Ama, A... Ma."Then he held her face and kissed her.Hu Jiajia laughed, leaned on Yongqi, and said: Mother sent Zhezhe a lot of things during the day.Yong Qi smiled at her.

At night, Yongqi hugged Hu Jiajia on the bed, and the two kissed for a long time. Hu Jiajia felt that he was very excited and knew that he hadn't returned home for a long time, so he asked him why he didn't go to Ibor's place today.Yongqi said: "I want to be with you, but you don't want to?"Hu Jiajia laughed and hugged him tightly.Yong Qi unbuttoned her jacket, and saw that she was wearing a satin apricot bellyband embroidered with a pair of white swans...

It wasn't until after giving birth to her daughter that Yong Qi really became the active party in bed, that Hu Jiajia realized that she had thought wrong, and she also understood why Yong Qi kept seldom going to He Zhu because of his consideration for Fujin... He hugged Hu Jiajia tightly, and Hu Jiajia couldn't move at all. He only felt his blood rushing (bi4), and it seemed that there was a gentle flutter of flames, as soft as feathers, fluttering in the blood vessels, and his bellyband trembled slightly... …

Yong Qi felt that after Hu Jiajia gave birth, she immediately changed from a delicate girl to a plump young woman. She was still so supple, but she felt completely different.He knew that Hu Jiajia was very obedient and accommodating to him, which had something to do with her temperament, and Yiboer also obeyed him, but with different personalities and different feelings.

Yongqi lay down beside her.She stretched out her hand, put her arms around him, and said, "Did you have a good breakfast?"Remember to eat the cakes I asked my sister to bring, the screwdriver slaves see you have a good temper, I'm afraid they will be lazy.She knew that Yongqi lived in the yamen, just like at home, she would get up at midnight every day to ride and shoot before doing errands, and she would go to the study room for morning classes every few days, before dawn, and return to the yamen for business in the afternoon .Originally, he and the fourth elder brother only needed to take the military affairs class now, but he said that since he entered the palace, he took all the morning classes that day, and met the masters by the way.

Yong Qi said: Well, Zheng Ying is watching the clock. He uses pastries twice a day, and puts them in the refrigerator when the weather is hot. Don't worry about his work.Hu Jiajia asked again: Is my cooking delicious?Yong Qi still closed her eyes, laughed and said: Of course, it is better than the ones made in the palace.

Hu Jiajia sat up, wiped his sweat for him, smiled and said: Elder Brother is coaxing me, Fujin is in charge of the affairs of the house, my sister is busy with the pawn shop, and I only learned how to make pastry at home these few months, how can I compare with the palace? The master chefs here, just thinking that elder brother likes to eat, Jiajia will study hard.Yongqi opened her eyes and looked at her with a smile. She felt embarrassed and said angrily: What are you laughing at?Yongqi said: "Our Zhezhe's mother-in-law's work is of course much better than the masters in the palace!"Hu Jiajia's eyes were full of joy.

After a while, Yongqi said: "I just asked Yi Boer to get familiar with the pawn shop. You are still in charge of the back account. You don't have to go there in person. Just teach the pawn shop manager to bring it home. The pawn shop is now profitable. It's not high, and I don't have the spare energy to participate in raising the expenses for the return of the Tuhu Special Forces to the east. I hope that by the end of next year, I can relieve Huang Ama's worries.Hu Jiajia nodded and said: Jiajia understands.Yong Qi said again: I don't know what's going on with the fourth brother, Qingfeng Dang's operation is not good, maybe Huang Ama deliberately gave me a test.Hu Jiajia said: Elder brother is right, I will help elder brother think about it, you can also ask father.I've recovered, so I should share my brother's worries.The younger sister really should take a rest, she often runs around, it is quite hard work.

Yong Qi smiled and said: She can't stay at home.Hu Jiajia said: Fujin and I can rest assured that she will accompany you for lunch.Yong Qi said: I will move back home next month, and I have lived in the Yamen for half a year.Hu Jiajia was very happy, and then realized that he was doing it for Ibor, who will be 17 soon, but Yongqi seldom came back, and it was not good to go to her room, so she smiled and said: I will wait for my sister good news.Yong Qi also smiled.

After Fu Heng was fined to contemplate behind closed doors for ten days, he handed over a letter of repentance to the emperor, and the emperor taught him to compile "Tongwenzhi of the Western Regions" together with Prince Zhuang Yunlu, recording the geography, history and ethnic languages ​​of Huijiang, Qinghai and Tibet. , said that when he came back from his westward journey, his memory was still fresh, and he asked him to concentrate on managing and building Qingyi Garden.Hong Zhou was overjoyed. Although the emperor didn't tell Fu Heng to leave the military aircraft, he didn't reprimand him, but it was obviously a big punishment. A confidant of the emperor who was an important minister of the military aircraft only took care of the idle affairs of compiling books and repairing gardens.

Qingyi Garden is located on Weng Mountain outside Xizhimen, that is, Wanshou Mountain, north of Liulangzhuang, southwest of Yuanmingyuan, [-] miles away from Xizhimen, surrounded by large rice fields.Another purpose of building the garden was because the emperor attached great importance to farmland water conservancy and decided to build water conservancy facilities in the western suburbs of the capital, bringing water from Xiangshan Mountain and Yuquan Mountain into the Haidian area to grow rice, so the original Wengshan Park was doubled in size. , doubled the depth to form a large-scale artificial reservoir, and built corresponding culverts.Wengshan Po was originally called West Lake, and the built reservoir was a large peach-shaped lake. The emperor changed its name to Kunming Lake.The peach shape symbolizes longevity.The soil excavated from the Wengshan Pond is piled on the east side of Wengshan Mountain, making the mountains on the east and west sides of Wengshan Mountain roughly symmetrical, forming a bat shape, and bats convey "blessing".After transformation, Wengshan and Wengshanpo became "Fushan Shouhai", sending the emperor's blessing to the Queen Mother.

Since the 16th year of Qianlong, the emperor ordered Jianrui battalion soldiers to hold water exercises in Kunming Lake regularly, and transferred officials from the Fujian Navy to serve as instructors.For this reason, sixteen warships were built to form a training fleet. This fleet is based on the South Dock and cruises in the water city west of the West Causeway. It is a major landscape in the western suburbs.However, in the 17th year of Qianlong's reign, mother-child quarrels occurred, and the empress dowager moved to Yuanmingyuan, so the project stalled.The queen mother returned to the palace in 20 years, and the garden construction began in 21 years. Fu Heng was in charge, but he naturally did not participate in specific affairs.

So during this time, Wu Min and Fu Heng really became acquainted.Wu Min was born in Zhongyong Gongfu. Since Fu Heng took charge of the Qingyi Garden project two years ago, he has been in charge of the design of the garden as a doctor of the Ministry of Industry. He organized a group of people and took several sets of plans. Among them, " The design of the "Three Immortals on the Sea" was approved by the emperor and the queen mother last year, and the construction began. Three small islands were built in Kunming Lake and the two lakes on the west side: Nanhu Island, Tuancheng Island, and Zaojiantang Island, as a metaphor for the three mountains on the sea: Penglai , Abbot, Yingzhou.But for some reason, the progress has been quite slow. The Ministry of Industry always said that the funds were insufficient. Wu Min felt that there must be some reason behind this, but he was only in charge of the design, so it was hard to ask.After Fu Heng began to come to the garden every day to take care of his affairs, he told Fu Heng his doubts, saying that the emperor's filial piety to his mother is well known throughout the country, and the Qing Dynasty was strong and the treasury was full.

Fu Heng knew it in his heart, so he told him not to worry. Anyway, his salary and treatment were not affected. Wu Min only sighed that he and others were wasting years in vain. A great project, after so many years of hard work by so many people, Everything is ready, but it is inexplicably put on hold.Because Fu Heng knew Wei Mei's life experience from Yilu, he asked Wu Min while he was in contact with Wu Min. Wu Min told Fu Heng that the emperor resumed the relationship between the Wu family and Wei Mei, but he was not allowed to make it public.After Wei Mei's small month, his wife wanted to go to the palace to visit. The Ministry of Internal Affairs replied that the concubine could not be seen. The couple were very worried about Wei Mei's situation, and Fu Heng was not in Beijing, so there was no way to ask for help.

Fu Heng went back and told Yingluo about these two things.Yingluo said: "Master, we can't rush your affairs now, why don't we tell the emperor the truth about Mrs. Qian first, so that Master Wu can continue with his errands."At this time, they already knew from Concubine Rong that she had asked Nanny Liu, and the matter was as Yingluo had speculated, Nanny Liu gave all the details, begging Concubine Rong and Yingluo to try to reconcile the embarrassment between the emperor's mother and son.Concubine Rong was waiting for them to come back to discuss, but she didn't want to have anything to do with Wu Shi, so she delayed it for several months.

Fu Hengdao: Yingluo, you must think about this matter well and tell the emperor, one may be that he forgives the queen mother, the other may be that he does not forgive the queen mother, we are not sure that he will forgive the queen mother.And with your current situation, I don't want anything to irritate you again.Yingluo nodded and said, "The young master is right, I'll think about what to do."

Pudawa has donated part of the gold to Changchun Pharmacy, and through Fu Heng donated part to the relief of the Yellow River and the severe drought in Gansu, and finally decided to invest in Fu Heng's Guangde to support the return of the Tuhu Special Forces and set foot in Kazakhstan Erka trade, so he began to often go to the trade bazaar near the foreign hall to familiarize himself there.Because of the inconvenience, Aisha and Yingluo stayed at home and did not return to Changchun Pharmacy for the time being.

Rongrong came to see Yingluo again, and besides reporting on the pharmacy affairs and sending some fresh big grapes, she also told Yingluo about the emperor's trust and suspicion towards Doro this year.After Yingluo heard this, she understood in her heart, and taught her to be at ease, saying that she had herself and Fu Heng.But Yingluo never knew about the execution of hundreds of eunuchs in the palace at the beginning of the year. Fu Heng told Duo Luo early in the morning that Rongrong and him were not allowed to tell Yingluo, but Duo Luo did not tell Rongrong.When Duo Luo and Fu Heng mentioned Wu Shi's matter, Fu Heng also told him to rest assured that he would be fine. Duo Luo smiled and said: "I also think that your lord will be fine."

Ye Tianshi was called into the palace to see the concubine Ling. He told the emperor that the qi and blood tonics were all in place, but the emperor had to accompany her so that she could get better.He was invited to Yujingyuan's birthday luncheon. He visited He Zhu and Hu Jiajia, comforted He Zhu face to face, and told her to spend more time in the sun and continue to take Yangrong pills. If she is healthy, she will have children.

Later, he told Yingluo that his opinion was the same as that of the imperial hospital. Although Hezhu was very thoughtful, but his menstrual volume was small, it could only be brought in the womb. It's useless, I can only adjust it step by step. Fortunately, ginseng can be eaten as a meal in the palace, so there is no need to worry.And Hu Jiajia has already recovered, and is taking supplementary meals every day, so there is no need to prescribe her medicine.

Yingluo said that she also had few menstrual scriptures, but it was very easy to get a child. According to Ye Tianshi's order, she must drink water and medicine when she does not go out. The trip to Jinchuan proved that the patent medicine does not work.Ye Tianshi shook his head, saying that she did not do it frequently, and her body was damaged before, but it would not affect her son, and it was different from He Zhu's congenital deficiency.
