Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

Concubine Rong took off her cloak, and inside she wore a pure rouge thin jacket with auspicious clouds and dark flowers, and a spring-colored cloud shoulder sprinkled with golden flowers and butterflies, and a green and green cotton skirt, which was also dressed as a civilian woman.Holding Desheng's hand, she ascended to the ground and sat on the throne. Desheng stood beside her. Caiyun held a cloak and stood beside the front of the ground.He Zhu, Hu Jiajia and Yi Boer all knelt down, and behind the three of them were the eunuchs, mothers and maidservants in the mansion, which filled the whole hall.Then Desheng asked everyone to kowtow.After the ceremony, Concubine Rong taught Caiyun to give the palace a pair of red-bottomed Spring Festival couplets written by the emperor "Heaven and Earth Sanyangtai, Qiankun Wanlichun" and "Blessed Zhongkui Gate God" posted on the doors of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

He also gave a Mingzhengde Arabic incense bottle, saying that the annual gifts in the palace had been distributed early, and this was given to the palace by the emperor and himself.Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty respected Islam, so during the Zhengde period, various bronzes engraved with Arabic characters were made for mosques and home furnishings.The whole body of the incense bottle is claret red, only the Arabic part of the bottle belly and the bottom feet reveal the true color of brass, which seems to be painted with gold, revealing the royal atmosphere.

Concubine Rong then "teached", saying that the rules of the ancestors cannot be broken, and that everyone should be united, perform their duties, and pay attention to safety, and praised the orderly management of General Fujin Hezhu's mansion.

Later, when I went to Tianyou Pavilion, He Zhu's dorm, Concubine Rong continued to comfort her with what Ye Tianshi said, and she must not take medicine in a hurry.Then he asked her how Yongqi treated her.He Zhu said: "Thank you, Concubine Rong, Elder Brother is very kind to me, I will take good care of my body, every day the nanny walks with me in the garden, I think it is very useful.She also asked Nanny Tao to speak alone, and Nanny Tao immediately explained Fujin's daily life one by one, saying that she would speak to Fujin and not let the guards enter the West Garden.Concubine Rong nodded.

He Zhu walked around with her, and Caiyun and Desheng waited on her all the way.There are three roads and six courtyards in the Wangfu, including the main hall, the shrine, the Buddhist hall, the ancestral hall, the veranda room, the stable room, and the storehouse. There are no less than four or five hundred rooms.The garden is on the west side of the mansion, leading to the water of Taiping Lake. In the garden, pines and cypresses are evergreen, green air soars to the sky, carved railings and sills, lakes and mountains, and there are various pavilions, pavilions, and docks. The Old Summer Palace is similar to the "Spring Scenery of Wuling", and it also looks like the money house in Jiaxing, but it is bigger and more magnificent, with carved beams and painted buildings, resplendent and magnificent. thought.I remembered the day before leaving the palace, when I stood on the palace tower with the emperor on my arm, looking at the majestic and majestic Forbidden City covered in snow and silver, the kind of "ten feet of yellow dust and thousands of feet of snow, so the bright moon is exquisite, the golden The bottle is known to be the arrival of spring, and the plum blossoms are decorated with the prosperity of Qiongzhi.

Thinking again of New Year’s Day, when all nations came to court, the royal guards in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony were dressed in fine attire and lined up neatly, and all the civil and military officials stood and waited for orders; On the side, waiting to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and receive envoys from various countries with the queen.That day, she was wearing a blue golden dragon robe with horseshoe sleeves and a gown with cloud patterns, dark eight immortals, and group patterns of swastikas between the golden dragons. The round neck and left and right shoulders were decorated with geometric pattern ribbons, which was solemn and elegant.

The elder brothers are also dressed up and waiting to attend the grand ceremony of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The female family members of the harem dressed in auspicious clothes are chatting or watching the excitement in small groups. The little princes and Fukang'an are happily playing or setting off firecrackers. Each is in charge of the preparations for the ceremony, and shuttles through the courtyard corridors; the ambassadors of various countries and ethnic groups are dressed in gorgeous formal attire, with different appearances and temperaments, and gather outside the Taihe Gate with a wide variety of tributes. Line up in the designated areas on the left and right to be interviewed... What a family business!Can't help being proud, then smiled slightly, thinking: This is the Qing Palace.

Concubine Rong then went to the East Yard to visit Hu Jiajia's mother and daughter and told Madam Cao.Finally, I went to Yiboer's courtyard, and Yiboer gave her the paintings and couplets he drew.Concubine Rong looked at the crimson sunset in the sky on the silk book, and approached a blooming peony, with a bee sitting on the petals to collect honey.The peony is Wei Zi after flowering. It has a huge corolla with multiple petals, delicate and luxurious, and the left and right are set off by green leaves.The petals are depicted in detail. First, use a fine brush to outline the petals, and then use carmine to render layer by layer. The stamens are dotted with light yellow, and the flowers and leaves are dyed with green juice. Feeling, elegant color.The couplets are made in regular script, saying "Xia Naiyun's soul bee is the flower spirit", the font is upright and round, strong and smooth, similar to the style of imperial court pavilions but more square.

When he lived in the Old Summer Palace, Yi Boer often accompanied Concubine Rong to wash "hamam", so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got close.Concubine Rong's gorgeous appearance, gentle movements and gentle smiles, she has a noble and friendly temperament, which also fascinates Ibor, thinking that she looks like Yong Qi, and the emperor will really find Yong Qi a concubine mother.Although the holy family is grand, it is not arrogant, it is natural.Later, when I heard Yongqi say that she wanted Yongqi to "compete", I felt that she was very difficult.

Concubine Rong praised the gift.Yi Boer said that she saw that the couplet about Concubine Rong was really good, so she matched the painting and gave it to her. She chose Peony because she felt that Concubine Rong was absolutely beautiful and worthy of being the "Queen of Flowers". , and this couplet was written by Yongqi, and this is a gift from the two of them. It is inconvenient for Yongqi to always go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to meet her, but she will never forget her "Ju Yuen Shen". May she be careful in the palace. , Suishun.

Concubine Rong thanked them and taught them not to worry about themselves.Then she laughed at Ebor and said that she also felt that Yongqi moved home because of her.Ybor said anxiously, two months have passed since my elder brother moved home, and she still has no children. Will she not be able to have children because she is not like a woman?Concubine Rong laughed and said: Nonsense!No hurries?You are such a beautiful and versatile girl, why don't you look like a woman?Don't say it in front of Yongqi, then he will die in a hurry!Don't scare yourself, you two kids!Yi Boer was amused by her, and suddenly felt that Concubine Rong looked like a child!Concubine Rong also summoned Nanny Pan alone.

After returning, Concubine Rong searched for a day, specially asking the emperor to take a walk with her in Qianqing Palace, looked at the "Upright and Bright" plaque hanging above the throne in the main hall, and smiled again.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Ali Gon went to Hongzhou Mansion to pay New Year's greetings.Hong Zhou asked someone to lead him into the study, Ali Gun waited for half an hour, and asked the eunuch in the mansion to urge him several times, before Hong Zhou lazily came, saying that he got up late and had a good meal for a while, Troubled him to wait for a long time.Ali Gun hurriedly said: "It's too serious to talk to the prince."The servant came today to pay New Year's greetings to the prince, and wanted to tell him that the prince also saw the situation yesterday.Hong Zhou smiled and said: "I understand, you all said that the emperor would not do anything to Fu Heng, it really is true.

Ali Gun said: "My lord, you understand the emperor's temperament better than anyone else. It's not that Ali Gun doesn't listen to the prince."Hong Zhou said: You are not the only one who is disobedient, besides, what do you all have to listen to me.He is the emperor.When Ali Gun saw him say this suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, the slave is really powerless."The servant has been out for too long, and all the relatives of the family have arrived during the Chinese New Year, and they need to be greeted, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so they leave first.See you next time.Hong Zhou smiled and said: "Go slowly, don't see you off."

Ali Gun came out of the palace, looked at the plaque on the main entrance, and thought: This is as arrogant as the prince.The emperor likes his ministers to be modest and prudent, but he is obsessed with dragon scales. The emperor is not happy with him.I'm still the same as Fu Heng. It's right to listen to the emperor. Only when something happens can I be protected by the emperor. Even the crime of beheading is so lightly erased.Even if I want to be serious, I'm not afraid of Hong Zhou, saying it is just to save him face, how dare he be so negligent and contemptuous of me.You still say such rebellious words in front of me, trying to drag me into the water, I am not confused!On the way home, he was sitting in the sedan chair, thinking of paying his respects to the Queen Mother. After returning to Beijing years ago, he hadn't seen the Queen Mother, because she moved to Changchun Garden.

When Fu Heng returned to the military aircraft, Wu Deya knew that Hongzhou was very unhappy, and she also felt discouraged, but while comforting Hongzhou, she asked Hai'an to serve the prince well. Hai'an, including everyone in the palace, was extra careful in front of Hongzhou.

Ybor never misses the excitement of fighting ghosts.Since leaving the palace, every year she and Yong Qi go to the ghost-fighting dance ceremony at Shuanghuang Temple on the 23rd of the first lunar month, and then on the 29th to the Lama Temple with the empress dowager, concubines and other princes' family members.

In the early morning of the 23rd of the first lunar month, Yong Qi and Yi Boer dressed up as rich young masters and grandmas and left the Prince Rong's mansion. Duo Luo had brought twenty big inner guards to wait outside, and they also disguised themselves according to Yong Qi's instructions.The young husband and wife sat hand in hand in a green bamboo (chou2) car, and were escorted by guards riding horses to the gate of Desheng.

Ebor lifted the corner of the car curtain with his right hand, looking at the bustling street outside.Yong Qi looked at her with a smile while stroking her left hand.After a while, Yiboer turned his head and sat down, and said to Yongqi: Brother, I recently heard a word called 'Popipo settles down', which is very interesting!Yongqi smiled and asked: What do you mean?Ybor replied: It means rascal, hehe.Yongqi said: "What's the point of rascals?"Ybor said: I feel like a rogue.Yong Qi laughed: Why are you a scoundrel?Ybor said: You can also call it that if you are hot-tempered.

Yongqi laughed: Why are you so aggressive?The daughter of the Ministry of Military Affairs Guanbao family, smart and agile, with a free and easy temperament, how is it the same as Po La?Where did you hear that word.Yiboer said mysteriously: There is a book called "Dream of Red Mansions" circulating outside, with comments, it is very beautiful!It was only circulated in a small circle of princes and princes, and I secretly asked someone to find it for me.Yongqi said: "A Dream of Red Mansions"?Is it the same as "The West Chamber"?Yiboer said: It is much more beautiful than that one, and the writing is very similar to life in the palace.Brother also look back?Yong Qi said: "Okay, but be careful, don't let others know."Ebol laughed and said: I save it.

Yong Qi said again: When you have a baby, you won't be able to go out all the time, and you won't be able to ride horses and dance swords.Writing poems, drawing pictures, proposing words, and playing with algorithms all take energy, but reading novels is a good way to pass the time.Ybor said: I have to take care of the pawn shop at home, so it won't be boring.Yongqi said: "Jun'er, when the time comes, you can put your hand on the pawnshop business, don't worry about it."Ibor said: Where is it so delicate?When E Niang gave birth to her three elder brothers and me, she was not like this, she still took care of the family affairs like Fujin.I don't have to take care of family affairs, and I don't love female celebrities. I don't do anything, just study, am I just doing nothing?

Yongqi said: "You will be very hard at that time, Er Niang and the others said that, how hard Jiajia was at that time."Yi Boer said: I am in good health, my elder brother doesn't know, it's fine, you don't have to worry.Yong Qi looked at her, hesitated to speak.Yiboer suddenly understood what he wanted to say, so he whispered: Even if there is, it may not be brother.Yong Qi only said: I like boys and girls, if it is a boy, Huang Aunai and Huang Ama will like it.Yi Boer nodded, and said: Why has there been no movement from the fourth elder brother?Yongqi said: I'm not sure.It has been half a year since the fourth brother, Xin Nafujin, seems to have no news yet.Yi Boer said in a low voice: It can't be the fourth elder brother... Yong Qi laughed and scolded: Don't talk nonsense!

But there is more than one person who has this concern, and the one who bears the brunt is of course Queen Nala. She asked the emperor for instructions and said that she would ask Ye Tianshi to feel the pulse of Yongxuan.So after the Lantern Festival, Ye Tianshi went to Prince Lu's Mansion.Later, he told the emperor that the fourth elder brother was all well, whether it was Ji Fujin and the two princesses, but the timing might always be wrong, and they couldn't be happy.I opened a conditioning prescription for my fourth elder brother, Fujin and Ge Ge, I hope it will be useful.The queen and queen mother were relieved.But he told Fu Heng and his wife privately that he thought it was due to the frequent nocturnal nocturnal emission of the fourth elder brother in his early years and the need to get up for morning classes and riding and shooting.He has three women, so it shouldn't be the woman's problem.

Yingluo didn't say anything, but she secretly rejoiced for Yongqi, thinking that back then, the holy ancestor liked Huangsun Hongli, and there was a saying among the courtiers that this was an important consideration for the holy ancestor to pass on the throne to the previous emperor, so that there would be good emperors for both generations.He also quietly told Concubine Rong, but she was asked to keep it a secret, so the matter was extremely sensitive, and even Concubine Qing could not tell.Because of this, Haishi, Yingluo and Concubine Rong all hoped that Yongqi would have a son in their hearts. Although Yiboer didn't know what to do, she had an intuition that the three elders, including Yongqi herself, wanted her to have a boy.When the grandson and daughter-in-law went to Changchun Garden to pay their respects to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother also hinted like this.Perhaps because of this, she has a certain amount of anxiety.In fact, three months is not long, but if you have expectations, you will inevitably be disappointed.

Sebutengbaljur came to the capital again. Like last year, he was on business during the day and returned to his home in Nanyuan at night. It is not uncommon for him to set up a courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing. Many Mongolian princes have it, and it does not attract attention. People pay attention, this kind of little star in the bed who is far away in the sky is harmless.After Concubine Rong returned to the palace, she often met with him. He had secret talks with the emperor, the three of them had family banquets, and went to the racecourse to guide Concubine Rong on horseback riding. Concubine Ying and Concubine Shen were very envious, but they couldn't see foreign ministers.Because Gao Yun was unable to attend the ghost-fighting activities in Lama Temple publicly with Baljur, Concubine Rong asked Yongqi and his wife to take him and his wife to the ghost-fighting and market at Shuanghuang Temple, where the four uncles and nephews made an appointment to meet.

Aisha and his wife went to the Shuanghuang Temple last year to jump and dance, but this year Aisha was confinement at home, and Pudawa was set up by Fu Heng to contact the Khalkha prince who was going to Beijing for a pilgrimage.Yingluo has been able to attend palace activities since her southern tour, but in the past two years she has missed the New Year's Ceremony repeatedly due to giving birth to a daughter and traveling far away. See you later.

At two o'clock, Yongqi and his wife arrived at Xihuang Temple, where they saw gorgeous yellow glazed tiles, crimson brick walls, dark green pines and cypresses, and towering pagodas with extraordinary momentum.

It was the first time for Baljur and his wife to come, and they did not bring any attendants, except for a coachman.Both sides have met.Yongqi and Baljur have met many times, but it is the first time for Yibol to see Gao Yun. She also looks like a young lady in Beijing, and her appearance is different from her own, and her skin color is also different. Pan Liujing, with a graceful figure, is not as tall as herself, and it is impossible to tell that she has given birth to two children.

I heard Concubine Rong say that her original surname was Hongjila.Most Mongols use the tribe as their surname, and Hongjila is the name of the tribe. This tribe was originally a Turkic tribe, and later merged into Mongolia. This tribe is famous for producing beautiful women, although the standards of beauties considered by Mongolians are different from those in the Central Plains.In the Yuan Dynasty, there were 11 women of the Hongjira family who were queens of the palace, and nine were called queens and queens. The origin was the queen of the palace of Genghis Khan, the mother of Tuo Lei, and the grandmother of Kublai Khan. Hongjishi.He affectionately called her "Auntie".

The author has something to say:

[Cloud shoulder] is a kind of clothing worn by ancient women. It was worn around the neck and worn on the shoulders.Because it is often decorated with cloud patterns in four directions, and it is mostly made of colorful brocade embroidery, it is as bright as clouds reflecting the sun after rain, so it is called "cloud shoulders".

[Green Palace] The prince lives in the East Palace, and the five elements match the east with blue, so the place where the prince lives is called "Green Palace".Sui.Yu Zhongwen's poem "Serving Banquet at the East Palace Yingling": "The Qing Palace has cyanosis, and Zimo has Zhulun." It also refers to the prince.Don.Bai Juyi's poem "First Awarded by Dr. Zanshan to Li Twelve's Assistant Teacher in the Early Dynasty": "When I was sick, I visited the Qing Palace on the first day, and my appearance was new and my hair was gray." Ming.Ye Xianzu's "Yi Shui Han.The first fold": "Qing Palace leads the car and rides. Then rest and lag!" Also known as "East Palace" and "Spring | Palace".Concubine Rong's "thought" in the novel means that she believes that in the emperor's mind, Yongqi is the de facto heir apparent, and she also wants to facilitate this.

[Xia Naiyun's soul bee is the spirit of flowers] A verse in "Emperor Kangxi" written by Er Yuehe.

[Wei Zi] There are eight colors of peonies. The purple peony is actually red with a purple tinge, not purple. It is also called Luoyang red, bright and vivid.Wei Zi, from the family of Wei Renbo in Luoyang during the Five Dynasties period, has the ultimate beauty of double petals.It is a rare peony variety, with purple-red flowers, lotus-shaped or crown-shaped.It has a long flowering period, a large amount of flowers, and plump flowers. It is promoted as the "Queen of Flowers", giving people a warm and warm aesthetic feeling, adding a sense of success, celebration, wealth, and auspiciousness.Yao Huang, Chiba yellow flower peony, comes from the Yao family.Yaohuangweizi is an idiom, which means two precious peonies in Luoyang in the Song Dynasty. Generally refers to precious flowers.

Ouyang Xiu's "Luoyang Peony" records: "The flower of the Wei family, the red flower of Qianye meat, came from the family of Wei Xiang (Renpu). The first woodcutter saw it in Shou'an Mountain and chopped it to sell the Wei family. The Wei family pool is very large. The author said: "When this flower first came out, if anyone wanted to read it, they would have to board a boat and cross the pond to reach the flower house. The Wei family would collect more than ten strings a day. Afterwards, it was ruined and its garden was destroyed. It is now the back forest of Puming Temple. The pond is its land, and the temple monks plow it to plant mulberry and wheat. There are many flowers handed down to the people, and the leaves are counted by people, and there are as many as seven hundred leaves. Qian Sigong tasted and said: "People call it the king of peony flowers. Today Yao Huangzhen is the king. Wei Hua is the Empress'".

[Yongqi Calligraphy] It is said that Yongqi's calligraphy is very similar to Yongxing's style, but it has not been handed down.His font described in the novel is based on that of Yong Xing.Yongxing is a famous calligrapher in history. His calligraphy was famous for a time and was deeply loved by Qianlong.Together with Weng Fanggang, Liu Yong and Tiebao, he was called the "Four Masters of Qianlong".
