Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

He Zhu was pregnant, and the E family was overjoyed, and there were frequent letters from family to family.Mrs. Suo personally made boys' clothes and gave them to her.But her early pregnancy reaction was very serious. Although it was not as strong as Concubine Xin back then, Nanny Tao was still so scared that she couldn't sleep well.After the early stage, she still couldn't eat very much. Yongqi was very worried about her, but she was very happy, and often comforted Yongqi, saying that she cherished this child very much.Ye Tianshi will see a doctor every half a month, and then report to the palace.The emperor then ordered Ye Tianshi and his wife to take their young daughter to live near the Old Summer Palace and take care of her nearby, which was also the residence of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Ye Tianshi's son, Ye Yizhang, is 20 years old and married. He still lives in Ye Zhai in the city.When Yingluo and Rongrong both lived in the Old Summer Palace, the pharmacy on Chang'an Avenue was looked after by Aisha.Yingluo then opened a branch in the Old Summer Palace, where Ye Tianshi treated patients.But after the emperor moved back to the capital, everyone moved back with him, and Ye Tianshi naturally moved back, so he taught Ye Tianshi's disciples to go to the branch office for consultation.

Ye Wusu was not yet four years old, and she was favored at home. She looked like her father, with a round face and big eyes, but her skin was darker, but she was still pretty. Yingluo thought she should be called "Little Black Skin".Ye Tianshi once told Yingluo that he was worried about her getting married in the future.Yingluo laughed, saying that Susu is very beautiful, Dr. Ye is really unfounded, and if others know that she is the daughter of "Mr. Nanyang", they must take her home to be their daughter-in-law...

June is also the last month of Hezhu's pregnancy, and she is almost completely bedridden.Yong Qi is busier and spends less time at home, but she stays with her day and night as soon as she gets home.The whole process of delivery was also accompanied. Besides Ye Tianshi, the imperial hospital also sent four imperial physicians. On June [-], a boy who weighed less than six catties was born. Everything went well, and everyone in the Rong Palace heaved a sigh of relief.Seeing that Yongqi cared so much for him, He Zhu said that he was finally done with the kindness of his parents.Yongqi hugged the child and accompanied her to fulfill the vows to the Bodhisattva devoutly.

Ye Tianshi privately told Yingluo Haishi that he was extremely worried about little Fujin's bleeding, but fortunately he was fine.Having a child is a great drain on her, and her postpartum lochia will last for a long time, she may also have pain in the waist and abdomen, and her menstrual cycle will be out of balance, so she has to take care of it slowly.If she gave birth to a child, she might be in danger of her life, but since she has a deficiency, it is not easy to have a child, so there is no need to say this.Only then did Yingluo know that Ye Tianshi had taken on a lot of worries when He Zhu was pregnant.However, He Zhu's father, E Bi, was promoted to governor of Sichuan in late June, but died suddenly four days later before he could take up his post. He Zhu didn't know about this until three months after giving birth.The emperor regretted it, and bestowed the title of minister, posthumous title of Qinsu, and entered the Xianliang Temple. His mother returned to Zhong'e's house in Beijing from Shanxi, and accompanied her daughter nearby.

On June 25th, Hongzhou's eldest son, Yongying, died of illness. This child was originally very good. Since the beginning of this year, he was infected with typhoid fever. He was cured by famous doctors from all over the country.He was married and had a son, Hong Zhou and his wife were somewhat comforted, his daughter-in-law was naturally distraught, and a funeral was really held with the Prince's Mansion.The palace sent people to express their condolences, and Nala also wrote in condolences.

On July [-]th, the emperor dressed up and, together with Hong Zhou, took the imperial examination of Kaoenke in Zhengda Guangming Hall.At noon, Hong Zhou said: "Brother Huang, since you have handed over the examination papers for this session of Enke to your younger brother, you can go back without worry!"The younger brother must deal with it fairly.The emperor raised his head and said: I will take another look.Talking and reading.Hong Zhou smiled and said: "It's already past the time for eating, why do you have to suffer here?"The emperor raised his head again and said, "No hurry."Hong Zhou felt unhappy, and said: Brother Huang, do you suspect that your younger brother will engage in malpractice for personal gain?Or take that scholar for your own use?Li Yu on the side was taken aback and looked at Hong Zhou.The scholars who were answering the papers were also surprised, but they didn't dare to look up.

The emperor stared at Hongzhou seriously, without saying a word, he glanced at him, and then went back to read.After the answer sheet was finished, the scholars left one after another.The emperor put the book down, took off the crown on his head, put it on the case, and said: "Do you want this hat?"Hong Zhou was taken aback, and immediately knelt down and said, "Your brother must never dare!"The emperor said warmly on it: Don't you dare?For what you just said, I can take your head off.Hong Zhou said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, my brother made a slip of the tongue for a while, and he deserves death!"Please forgive the emperor!He kowtowed to the ground again.

The emperor walked down the steps, stood in front of him, and said: I heard what you just said clearly. You have complaints against me, but you dare not say anything.I will give you a chance now, say!Hong Zhou raised his head and said: Your Majesty, how dare I complain to you?Even if you give the younger brother a hundred courage, the younger brother will not dare!The emperor raised his hand and said: Get up.Hong Zhou stood up, and the emperor stretched out his hand to straighten his court clothes, looked at him seriously, and then passed him and walked outside.After walking a few steps, he came back again, behind him, and whispered to him: If you don't tell me if I give you a chance, you will never say it again.Then she glanced at him and strode out.

On July [-]th, after he was on duty, Fu Heng met the emperor back in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and saw Yuan Chunwang passing by outside the Military Aircraft Office. Yuan Chunwang saw him, stood down and saluted, and said arrogantly and disdainfully: "Master Fu Heng."He said and went alone.Fu Heng looked back at his back, thoughtfully.Then Hong Zhou also came out of the house, and Fu Heng said to him, "Prince He, the emperor has a decree to strictly forbid the eunuchs of the inner court to communicate with princes and ministers. You don't need me to remind you, right?"It is not a place where idlers can set foot.

Hongzhou snorted, and said: Master Fu Heng, I'm afraid you misunderstood, right?I gave Elder Brother Twelve a talking parrot, and Director Yuan came to express his thanks on his order.Fu Heng said: "Whether it is a misunderstanding, the prince understands in his heart."As long as I bump into it again, I can only deal with it fairly, and please forgive me.Turn around while talking.

Hong Zhou said: Fu Heng, don't think that just because you are the leader of the military aircraft, you are qualified to meddle in my affairs!This king is the emperor's brother!Fu Heng turned around and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you seem to have a guilty conscience when you say that!"Hong Zhou said, "Why am I guilty?"Fu Hengdao: I didn't doubt it at first, but just thinking about it, Chengqian Palace seems to have a talking parrot.When Hong Zhou saw his words alluding to himself and the queen, he had no scruples and said angrily: Presumptuous!As he said that, he punched Fu Heng, and Fu Heng turned around to avoid his fist.

Hong Zhou was furious, and continued to fight with fists and kicks. After two rounds, Fu Heng avoided him and said to him: "Hong Zhou, fight in Da Nei, don't you want to die!"Hong Zhou shouted: I want to see who is dying!As he spoke, he swung his fist up and hit him again.Naturally, Hong Zhou was no match for Fu Heng, and he was knocked to the ground within a few moves.Fu Heng put his foot on his shoulder and was about to kick him, when he suddenly saw the emperor bringing a few eunuchs coming from the palace gate, he stopped still, Hongzhou got up and threw him to the ground, Fu Heng held his chest , Hong Zhou will continue to beat him.Only the emperor shouted in a deep voice: Stop!

The two of them stopped their hands, swept the horseshoe sleeves, and both knelt on the ground.Hong Zhou said: Your Majesty.Fu Hengdao: "The servant sees the emperor."The emperor glanced at Hong Zhou, walked up to Fu Heng, and asked: How is the injury?Fu Heng coughed twice and shook his head.The emperor looked at Hong Zhou and said, "Hong Zhou, what kind of place is this?" !You are getting more and more presumptuous!Hong Zhou said separately: "Your Majesty, my brother..." Fu Heng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Prince and the servants are just exchanging two moves on the spur of the moment.He coughed again.

The emperor said: "Competition?"Hong Zhou said: "It's my minister who was too reckless and almost hurt Mr. Fu Heng."The emperor looked at him and snorted, then looked at Fu Heng, and said: Instead of going to the martial arts arena for the sparring, come to this important place of military aircraft!Fu Heng, as the leader of the army, you openly fought against the National People's Congress. I want you to be fined for half a year. Do you accept the punishment?Fu Heng bowed his head and said: "The slave accepts the punishment."The emperor was angry again and said to Hong Zhou: You, come with me!As he spoke, he glanced at him again, turned around and left.Fu Hengdao: This slave sends the emperor respectfully!Hong Zhou stood up and left with a flick of his sleeves.

The emperor took Hongzhou back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and said as soon as he entered the door: I didn't punish you in public, I just took care of the face of Aixinjueluo's family.Then he waved his hand upwards and said angrily: "Go to the clan mansion to receive the punishment!"Hong Zhou said: Brother Huang, Fu Heng is just an outsider, but what about me, we grew up together and studied together, I am your sibling!The emperor turned around abruptly, pointed at him and said: In the early years, you insulted your relatives and the clan, and now you dare to fight with military officials. If you are not my own brother, how can I tolerate you again and again? !Hong Zhou shouted: Brother Huang!

The emperor said angrily: "Hong Zhou, you grew up under the empress dowager's knees. I treat you as a compatriot from the same mother, and I entrust you with a heavy responsibility. But you, you used to hold a big funeral at the prince's mansion, and it was just a trivial matter." , In the past two years, you dared to invite all civil and military officials to watch the ceremony, sitting on the coffin and laughing, so wild and unrestrained, you want to tell everyone that you hide pain, resentment, and injustice in your heart, you I want everyone in the world to know that you have been treated unfairly, don't you?The more the emperor spoke, the more angry he became, and he reprimanded him with his fingers.

Hong Zhou said: "Brother Huang, the live funeral is just for fun."The emperor took two steps, pointed at him and said: You are not doing it to vent, or you are pretending to be absurd, to cover up your crime of secretly forming a party by holding a funeral!

Hong Zhou shouted: "Brother Huang."As he spoke, he raised his right hand, pointed to the sky, and said: "I can swear to the sky!"I have absolutely no deviance in the slightest!The emperor picked up a pile of notebooks from the table, and said angrily: "Censor Shen, your notebooks are piled up like a mountain!"He lifted the booklet over his head, and then slammed it on the desk.

Hong Zhou immediately knelt down in front of the emperor.The emperor pointed at him angrily again, and said: If I hadn't defended you everywhere, you... Hong Zhou, you remember, this is the last time, if you dare to touch my bottom line again, don't blame me for disregarding brotherhood.Hong Zhou's eyes flickered, and he hurriedly said: From now on, I must be cautious in my words and deeds, please forgive me.Saying kowtow down.

A few days later, in Changchun Garden, Hong Zhou came to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager, and they chatted and laughed.Hong Zhou said: Queen Mother, do you still remember?Once, I got into a cabinet, everyone thought something happened to me, and they were all in a hurry!The Queen Mother laughed and said: You were only six years old at that time, jumping up and down all day long, almost made your mother-in-law faint from anxiety, tell me, you can curl up in just such a cabinet!Hong Zhou smiled and said: Isn't it just to skip Mr.'s class!I remember that time, Brother Huang was punished with me in order to protect me.The queen mother smiled and nodded at him and said: Your brother has often been beaten and punished for you!But you just won't change after repeated admonitions!

Suddenly heard the emperor's voice: What are you talking about?so happy?Then he lifted the curtain and walked in.Hong Zhou immediately knelt down and said: My brother, please greet the emperor.The emperor gave him a blank look and said nothing.The queen mother said unhappily on the top: Really, I am not used to seeing my brother become like this.The emperor still did not speak, and sat down on the lower chair.Hong Zhou stood up, and the emperor asked: Why are you free today, come to Changchun Garden to chat with the Queen Mother?The Empress Dowager looked at Hong Zhou, then at the Emperor, smoothing things over and saying, "Oh, I know everything, Emperor, this time Hong Zhou really admitted his mistake, just for my sake, please forgive him this time!"

With a dark face, the emperor sighed, looked at Hong Zhou and said: Do you really admit your mistake?Hong Zhou immediately knelt down facing him, and said: There are thousands of mistakes, all of them are ridiculous.The emperor glanced at him, but didn't look at him.Hong Zhou continued: From now on, if the younger brother commits an insult again, please ask the emperor to personally execute the sentence. Even if the younger brother is beaten to death, the younger brother will not be called wronged.The emperor's face softened a little, and he nodded slightly.Pointing to the two brothers, the Empress Dowager said again: Emperor, you are all close relatives and have deep feelings for each other. When the late emperor left, he gave you thousands of instructions to take good care of Hong Zhou. Did you forget?

The emperor closed his eyes and looked at Hong Zhou, Hong Zhou's eyes were red.The emperor stood up, walked forward, helped Hong Zhou up, supported his elbow, and said: I will not blame anything that happened in the past, and our brothers are still as close as before.As he spoke, he patted Hong Zhou's right shoulder with his left hand.Hong Zhou was moved and said: Brother Huang!The queen mother waved her hand on it, and said happily: "Okay, the past article has been turned over, and no one is allowed to mention it again in the future!"

However, later, Hong Zhou sent a letter to Nala, saying that he went to Changchun Garden to greet the queen mother today and met the emperor.After I went out, I found that I forgot my snuff bottle with the queen mother, so I went back to get it. Outside the house, I heard the emperor and the queen mother say that they wanted to make the imperial concubine the imperial concubine, and that the queen was sick and needed to recover.Hong Zhou said that the queen and imperial concubine can never stand side by side, and the emperor should mean to abolish the queen.After reading the letter, Nala was inexplicably shocked and angry, Hong Zhou was right.Immediately told Yuan Chunwang.

Yuan Chunwang's eyes turned red after hearing this, and he said: "My lord, since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, apart from filial piety to the empress Dong E, either the imperial concubine was seriously ill and was bestowed with the title of imperial concubine as a token of consolation, or there was no empress in the Forbidden City at all." In fact, there is absolutely no reason why the empress should be appointed as a deputy empress when the empress is still in power.Your majesty is trying to evade your power completely. If the news gets out, what will the civil and military officials think?What would the Qing subjects think?They will definitely think that the queen has committed an unforgivable crime, which deprives the glory that belongs to the queen!

Nala said sadly: Why, Hongli, why did you treat me like this, why!Yuan Chunwang immediately said that he would go and discuss with the prince.

On the second day, Yuan Chunwang and Hong Zhou met at Yongxuan Mansion. Yongxuan had already gone to the Yamen, and all the eunuchs in the courtyard were dismissed, and there was no one there.Yuan Chunwang said: "My lord, what the slaves worry about day and night has happened. Now you have seen it. Establishing an imperial concubine is equivalent to abolishing an empress. What will be the fate of the empress?"It's really impossible to retreat, and I don't know what to do.Hong Zhou said angrily: I will definitely persuade Brother Huang again.Yuan Chunwang said: Persuasion?Wang Ye persuaded again and again, is it useful?Hiroshi looked at him.Yuan Chunwang said: "If the imperial concubine is established, the twelve elder brothers will definitely not be registered, and then the empress will be abolished."When the fifth elder brother or even the fifteenth elder brother ascended the throne, the master is no longer even the queen, and naturally he is not the queen mother, so what will happen to her and the twelfth elder brother, mother and son?

Hong Zhou said: You mean...Yuan Chunwang looked at the door and said: "My lord, do you still remember the emperor's father and the regent?"Hong Zhou slapped the table, stood up, and said angrily: You bastard!You want me to learn from Dorgon's regency to take power?This is treason!Yuan Chunwang looked at him and said, "My lord, keep quiet."Hong Zhou said, "Shut up?"Yuan Chunwang blinked, saying "yes".Hong Zhou pointed at him and said angrily: You are an unfaithful and unfilial slave, you should be dragged out and cut into pieces!He pointed to the door.Without saying a word, Yuan Chunwang went to the door, pushed it open abruptly, and without looking at Hong Zhou, he just said: "My lord, just shout at the door, saying that I, Yuan Chunwang, conspired to rebel."

Hong Zhou hurried over, pushed him away, closed the door, pointed at him, and said in a low voice: You, are you crazy? !Yuan Chunwang turned around, took off the red cap, closed his eyes, and said: If what you said just now is spread, it is not a pity for a slave to die, but my lord, a slave is just a slave, even if the master gains power, I am nothing more than a useless person. May sit and stand in court, turn the clouds and rain.Then he turned around, looked at Hong Zhou, and said, "My lord, this servant is willing to take risks to persuade you, not for my own sake, but for the sake of the empress, my lord, and you, my lord!"
