Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

The queen mother smiled at the mirror and said: Ever since Hongli became emperor, he has become suspicious and complicated, which is different from when he was a child.Mother Liu said: "The emperor is raised by you. The slaves have already said that you and the emperor are the real mother and son. You know the emperor best."The Queen Mother still looked in the mirror and sighed, and said: Fortunately, the knot between me and him has been resolved, alas, I still understand him, there is Wei Yingluo and my Shenbi.It seems that he and Na Lashi have other problems, not only Qian Zhengyuan's matter, it must be the previous matter, and Nala's is probably because of her father's matter back then.Mother Liu hurriedly said: Don't worry.The queen mother shook her head and said: "I'm not worried, Hongli knows it well, it's a pity that Hongzhou is gone."

Mother Liu said: What do you mean?The Empress Dowager said: Hong Zhou is confused, he is from the Aixinjueluo family after all, I never want the emperor to touch him, but he wants to be with the Nala family.For so many years, the emperor has kept him in front of his eyes. At that time, because of the thirteenth elder brother, I saw that the emperor suddenly asked Wu Zaku to enter the palace to accompany the queen, and said it was my intention, so I thought it was unusual. Now it seems that he is intentional.

Nanny Liu was taken aback. Didn't that mean what the Queen Mother meant? !Said: "It's absurd to be with the prince, but how does the emperor know that he and the prince are against the queen..." The queen mother said: "He knew about Qian Zhengyuan, so he wanted to test it out. Hong Zhou, a silly boy, if I guessed right, he and that Rashi, there must be some secret connection.Grandma Liu felt a chill in her heart.

The queen mother glanced at her and said: "I don't think the two of them will be out of line. At most, they communicate through correspondence and pass it on through the Wu family. But men and women are different, and there are differences between the inside and the outside. The queen and the prince, sister-in-law and brother-in-law, give and receive privately." , I can't tell at all, this is to give the emperor a handle.Hong Zhou was misled by love.Nala, a vicious woman, has been using him, otherwise, how would she, a queen living in the deep palace, do the things ahead.Grandma Liu felt cold again. Today, the mother and son of the Tian family, the emperor, queen mother, and empress, are all powerful, and they are definitely no match for the prince.

The queen mother said again: "Let's take a step and see. Deya doesn't seem like a fool, but if she doesn't come to tell me, I won't be able to come forward."The emperor didn't say anything to me either.That's good too, it saves me trouble.What I mean is, it's better for Hong Zhou not to move, he can't cause any trouble, even though the clan doesn't like him, he is the son of the late emperor, the emperor still has to bear the infamy, and he will have ideas when he is full of eight banners.Nanny Liu hurriedly said: Yes, you have always considered the overall situation.

The Empress Dowager shook her head again, and said: In the early years, we were not favored. Hong Zhou was mischievous since he was a child. Geng took Hong Zhou to be close to our mother and son. Later, the emperor was taken into the palace by the Holy Patriarch, and her mother and son were even closer to me. He said that Hong Zhou was weak and sick, so the holy grandfather also took Hong Zhou into the palace for recuperation, but he was weak and sick and couldn't compete for the high position. Later, there was the matter of Hong Shi's lotus cake. Anyway, Hong Zhou blocked it for the emperor once, in my heart I understand.I watched Hong Zhou grow up.Then he sighed softly, shook his head slightly, and said: All the men in Aixinjueluo's family are the same!That's why I was worried, worried about the emperor, worried about Yongqi, I didn't expect Hong Zhou to...

After saying that, he turned around and knelt in front of the gilt-bronze seated Buddha of Infinite Life, clasped his palms together, and after a while, began to fiddle with the Ganan wood bracelet inlaid with gold longevity patterns, and continued: "For so many years, the emperor has already done his best to Hong Zhou. , The housework of the two brothers must not be put on the table, so the emperor is waiting for a big event.Seeing the empress dowager's seriousness, Liu mama's heart sank, and she asked, "What's the big deal?"The queen mother did not speak, and closed her eyes.

So after returning from hunting in Miyun, Toya went to Changchun Garden from Xiyuan in seven or eight days, three or four times a month, to communicate with the emperor and the queen mother, and it was nothing more than greetings and household chores. Next time I will accompany the queen mother to the hot springs in Miyun, and I will cherish the opportunity given by the emperor to get close to the queen mother very much.As the queen mother said, Nala felt that this was the emperor's method to cover up the mother-child quarrel. The queen mother had Concubine Shu by her side, and Tuoya was just a noble person. I couldn't help laughing to myself, thinking that she was actually not as smart as I imagined, and I didn't take it to heart.

Since Wu Guiren got close to the Empress Dowager, he got the nickname "little naughty" in front of the emperor.The reason is this, when the weather got cold, everyone in the palace began to wear small fur jackets. One day the emperor went to Chengruizhai where she lived and saw that she was not wearing a fur jacket, so he asked, "Aren't you cold?"So she replied playfully: But it's cold, and the little fur coat doesn't work anymore!Then I took out the apricot-yellow chrysanthemum-and-butterfly-patterned tiger-skin satin, pipa-breasted and sheepskin mandarin jacket bestowed by the Queen Mother, and asked the emperor to touch it himself. Is it too thin?So the emperor rewarded her with a big fur jacket made of white fox fur.

When the emperor came next time, the weather suddenly turned warm, and the big fur coat could no longer be worn.The emperor casually said: Why is it so hot today?She laughed and said: "I think it's just right for concubines."So the emperor asked: Why?She responded with a smile: Concubines only have sheepskin jackets from their ancestors, not big fur jackets!The emperor was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly, and said: No wonder you are not hot, so you are an outsider to me!It means that she only has eyes for the queen mother, and she has been called "little rascal" ever since.

She told the Queen Mother about it, and the Queen Mother and Nanny Liu also laughed from ear to ear, calling her "naughty".In a few days, her father retired due to illness, and her elder brother was promoted to be a doctor in the Ministry of Rites.Zi Wen also praised her for her ability, and coaxed the emperor to reward her with such a valuable jacket, which made the queen mother happy and supported her natal family.Concubine Ying also came to congratulate her, and she smiled at the two of them: "What a filial person the emperor is!"same as me.I am also for our sisters.But the doctor was only a fifth-rank official, and the queen didn't take it seriously, so Tuoya went to tell Concubine Rong by herself and thanked her.He also said that the fifth elder brother was very happy to have a son, and presented a hand-embroidered "Hundred Sons Picture" to express his heart, which was naturally embroidered with purple patterns.

Concubine Rong recalled that the emperor had told her, "In addition to Concubine Shu, I have found another person to serve the Empress on your behalf." She just smiled softly and said, "You are the one who can do it yourself. You have merit in serving the Emperor and Empress. When you give birth to an emperor's heir, the Queen Mother will be even happier.He also gave her a jasper screen table decoration inscribed by the emperor and a pair of coral red flowerpots painted with gold, saying that he congratulated her and thanked her for serving the emperor's mother.The jasper screen is filled with gold and embossed with the emperor's imperial pen and poems. Although the screen is small, it has its own momentum.The octagonal flower pot painted in gold on alum red ground, with entwined lotus patterns all over the body, and auspicious cloud patterns embraced by two Capricorns in the middle, thick and concise, plump and delicate, pure in color, lined with a red-like gemstone color, golden color, luxurious and rich, And full of joy.

After Toya went back, she looked at these two things carefully, and she was very happy.She had been to Chengqian Palace where Concubine Shen lived and the back hall of Huairen Hall, and she was very proud: the emperor's residence is just different.She sighed to Ziwen: Concubine Rong is the one I admire the most in this palace. She is so gentle and sincere, and she is so kind and sincere. Just looking at her makes people feel comfortable. No wonder Concubine Wan was so jealous back then. Wasn't it because of her? Be favored by the emperor.Zi Wen nodded, and said: Concubine Rong is very devout to Allah, just like she is devout to Bodhisattvas. A person with a good heart is born from the heart, and will naturally have good rewards.

Years ago, Xiao Quanzi returned to Beijing as scheduled. When Fu Heng met late, he took him and the emperor to report on the situation in the south for several days.He and Pearl moved into the courtyard next to them, and the young couple reunited, with a lot of warm words and tender words, and went back to the two homes to celebrate the New Year.Since the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, Yingluo has been on pearl vacation. When she came back from Prince Rong’s Mansion on the first day of the lunar new year, she and Fu Heng took their three children back to Mashen Temple Street to celebrate the New Year. It was deserted in the Beijing Garden.When Haishi saw the Fucha family gathered together, it was very lively, and when he thought of Yongqi's family, he was worried again.

Everyone in Prince Rong's Mansion is also very lively this year. Due to the arrival of the twins, there are now three children in the mansion, so He Zhu wantonly organizes the Chinese New Year and the next full moon banquet for the twins, and wants Yong Qi to sit back and enjoy the benefits.Yongqi was grateful for her virtuousness and hard work, and often stayed at her place, and the couple became closer, but Hezhu never met.He Zhu always told Yong Qi that he was very sorry for him, and that he had no legitimate son so far.Knowing that she is worried, Yongqi always comforts her, saying that her body is important, don't worry, but she thinks in her heart: If she really has it, how will she survive that day and night...

Although He Zhu has a good relationship with Yiboer now, but knowing that after Yiboer gave birth, Yongqi has let go of his worries, and he doesn't care whether he has a son or not.Seeing what Yongqi said, she felt that Yongqi didn't want her to have children, and felt sad. She often went to the Buddhist hall in the backyard of the shrine behind the Yin'an Temple to face the Bodhisattva, sitting for a long time, and even cats couldn't make her happy.Walking in the garden and passing the vegetable garden, I feel sad when I see the desolation and frost and snow in autumn and winter.Guanbao's wife continued to comfort her when she came to see her daughter and grandson, but she felt hurt when she said anything, but Yongqi did not neglect her, and Tao Nanny felt that there was nothing to comfort her.

Hu Jiajia has never allowed her to talk about the matter of the middle courtyard and the west courtyard in her own courtyard, because she also knew the real reason and He Zhu's mood, and was entrusted by Tao Nanny, so she told her that she should know Elder Brother, he was definitely not Such a person, he doesn't often go to her room.He Zhu said to Hu Jiajia: Actually, I am not in good health, so I don't blame elder brother.The prince loves Zhezhe very much, even if there is a girl, I am satisfied.After hearing this, Hu Jiajia knew that He Zhu didn't mean it, but he couldn't help feeling strange.

Because Hu Jiajia was liked by the Queen Mother, every time she went to Changchun Garden with Fujin and Zhezhe to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, Mammy Liu would privately tell her that the Queen Mother didn't like to favor only one person.Needless to say Mrs. Hu, Madam Cao also persuaded her all day long, saying that she should keep the prince well and give birth to a son.It's just that in the past six months, Yong Qi often discussed calculations with her because of the pawnshop business until late at night. When they fell asleep, both of them were very sleepy, and there was little intimacy. Later, Ybor entered the third trimester of pregnancy, and Yong Qi stayed in her room to watch.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Yongqi celebrated the New Year at her Hongxiang Yin Hall in the east courtyard. The two enjoyed the snow, made tea, and made fun of Zhezhe.Yong Qi said with a smile: It is just like Tang Yin's "Ming Ming Tuan" in her main hall, "What do you do when the day is long, and you will hold the tea bowl by yourself. It is expected that under the south window, the breeze will fill the temples."Hu Jiajia just smiled, poured tea for him, and said: It's a pity that I don't live in a hut now, it's better to go to 'Wuling Spring'.I like the lotus leaf wash with tea powder glaze that brother gave today!Combine the spirit of the mountains and the wild.

Yong Qi nodded, and saw that she was serving fruit cakes with a pair of multicolored dragon pattern sunflower mouth plates, so she said why she hadn't seen them before.Hu Jiajia said that this was a reward given to Concubine Ling after she became a noble concubine, and it was said to be something from the time of the first emperor.He also asked whether Yongqi should get closer to the fifteenth elder brother, so that the imperial concubine was kind and kind, and she also experienced the pain of losing her son, and the fifteenth elder brother is now her eldest son.

Yong Qi nodded, and said: Xiao Shiwu is now being raised with Concubine Qing's mother in Yongshou Palace, and I will take a look every time I go to pay her respects.Then he turned around and said with a smile: Zhezhe is really getting smarter and wiser. When I went to see her in her room this morning, she said to me: "Ama didn't come to see me yesterday."How can a child who is only over one year old remember so clearly.Hu Jiajia laughed and said: Grandma told her.how do you say?Yongqi laughed again: I said, 'Ama doesn't dare anymore!Ama must visit Zhezhe every day. ' Then she came up and kissed me.

Hu Jiajia giggled, Yong Qi reached out to hold her hand, Zheng Ying and Cao Mama pursed their lips beside her.Hu Jiajia blushed, and was about to pull out her hand, so Yong Qi looked at the two of them, and they quickly retreated.Hu Jiajia held hands with him, and said: The jacket Er Niang made for Zhe Zhe is very beautiful, and she said she likes the buns I made, so I am very happy.It's getting cold, so I also made a plain cotton coat, and my elder brother will send it to the nunnery when the time comes.Yong Qi smiled and nodded, the little red padded jacket that Zhe Zhe is wearing today is the one that Hai Shi personally made.

During the afternoon nap, after the bed curtain was put down, Hu Jiajia kissed him under the quilt.Yongqi saw that she was still twitching in the morning, but now she is so proactive, and he and her have never been in the daytime... I don't think it's strange, but she let her go, and just asked with a smile: What's the matter with you?Hu Jiajia said: I just miss my brother.Yong Qi kissed her and said: I was the one who neglected you before, it was my fault.She shook her head and said: "Sister looks like that, I'm also scared, so naturally you should stay with her."Fujin has worked so hard, you have to comfort her.Yongqi laughed and said: What about you?Don't you work hard?With Zhezhe, he was busy with the pawn shop all day long.

Hu Jiajia said: Zhezhe is taken care of by Grandma Cao and Grandma.This year, the matter of the pawn shop has come to a conclusion, so it's not in vain.Before finishing speaking, Yong Qi turned over and pressed her under him, nodded her nose and said: "Huang Ama is very happy, it's all thanks to you."Hu Jiajia felt that his body was hot, and his heart was sweet and shy, and said: I should share my worries for elder brother.Looking at Yong Qi affectionately, Yong Qi bowed her head... Hu Jiajia closed her eyes and felt itchy, so she pushed back his hand. Yong Qi laughed and said: Jiajia, you are so beautiful!Hu Jiajia blurted out: Can't compare to my sister!As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it, but she couldn't take it back, her face immediately turned red, and Yong Qi smiled again.

After the incident, Yongqi leaned on her body, she hugged him, and asked a question curiously, Yongqi laughed, and said something in her ear, she blushed again, because Yongqi said, "Not necessarily Need to have fun'.She thought to herself: If Yong Qi and herself are like this, he and Yi Boer must be even more confused, and she can't help but feel sorry for He Zhu.At one moment she was worried about He Zhu, at another moment she felt that Yongqi had to be careful not to have fun with Fujin, and Yongqi was wronged...Suddenly she understood, and asked Yongqi: Brother, do you want Fujin to have a child soon?

Yong Qi nodded.Hu Jiajia sighed in his heart: He was still doing it for Yi Boer, Fujin was really wrong.But I also feel satisfied in my heart. Now, Yongqi is very close to her, and she does not shy away from talking about Yibol and Hezhu with her. Looking at the dark green Baihui Hanying quilt given by Concubine Rong, I suddenly remembered that time, When Mammy Cao said, "One night couple, one hundred days of grace", my heart was like honey.

Suddenly, Yong Qi said in her ear: If you are not afraid of hard work, we will have a son, okay?Only then did she realize that Yong Qi had seen through her own thoughts, and hurriedly buried her head in Yong Qi's arms.But hearing him say "we" made me feel so sweet.Yong Qi laughed and hugged her.She said in a muffled voice: I'm not afraid, but I'm not jealous of my sister.Yong Qi smiled and said: She gave birth to two at once, even I'm jealous!Hu Jiajia giggled, knowing that Yongqi was actually very happy.

Yongqi hugged her and said: Jiajia, I treat you differently from Ibor, because you are different from her.Hu Jiajia asked: Why is it different?Yong Qi said: I can't tell, but I think you look like my sister.Hu Jiajia was elated, and Yong Qi had the same idea with her, but pressed her happiness and asked: Fujin is so dignified, so he looks like your sister, right?

Yong Qi shook her head and said: She has a dignified temperament, but she has a serious heart. I think it is because of her weak body since she was a child, so there is no need to force her.Then he leaned into her ear and said, "Can you be my sister?"Hu Jiajia then asked: What does being a sister do?Yongqi thought for a while, and said: Well, get up in a while, and you help me braid my hair.Hu Jiajia kissed him on the face, and said with a smile: Okay, my little ancestor!

The author has something to say:

[Rongwang Mansion Shrine] The shrine is located behind the Yin’an Hall, the main hall on the middle road. The shrine imitates the Kunning Palace in the Forbidden City where shaman sacrifices to gods and heaven were held. The main entrance of the shrine is also similar to the Kunning Palace. The door is a panel, and the windows still store the relics outside the customs, pasted with Korean paper.In the southeast of the front of the hall, there is a sacred pole, that is, the Sauron pole.The backyard of the temple is the memorial hall, which is dedicated to the clothes and hats worn by the former emperors and later generations. There are also Buddhist halls and ancestral halls in this courtyard.

[Tea powder glaze] is one of the important varieties of iron crystal glaze. It is a crystal produced by the combination of iron, magnesium and silicic acid.Its firing was first seen in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and it was also fired in the Ming Dynasty. The best ones were made in the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty.According to Tang Ying's "Tao Cheng Chronicle Stele", the tea powder glaze in the Qing Dynasty was formed during Yongqian, also known as "Changguan Glaze".
