Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

It was vaguely that year again, in the corridor of the guard's office, when she got angry, Fu Heng eagerly grabbed her arm, then pushed her away, saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!"She said: So, the young master thinks he is a gentleman and behaves frankly?Fu Heng hurriedly said: I am!Then nod seriously.So she leaned closer and asked him: Why did the young master kiss me?Fu Heng nana said: I, I...

Yingluo suddenly felt that she was ridiculous yesterday. What is the difference between her and Fu Heng?Never had.She was just thinking wildly, she was the only one in his heart, and he was the only one in her heart. Not speaking did not mean that there was a gap. In the early years in the palace, she was still a maid, and when he was a guard, she and him could not see each other for a long time. According to strict rules, their identities are different, and after that, their identities will be even more different. What can they say under the watchful eyes of everyone?But she understands him, and he understands her. If she didn't understand at the time, she would eventually understand... She talked to all kinds of people in the palace, but she was the one who had a gap with them...

In front of her eyes, Rong Yin held a bouquet of jasmine flowers, looked back at her with a smile, and said, "Yingluo, you and Fu Heng, lovers finally get married, I am so happy... She really wants to hold the former empress, But I'm too sleepy to keep my eyes open...

Seeing that she fell asleep, Fu Heng felt distressed. Was she too tired yesterday?This lovely, sweet and tired... The new room was quiet, he carefully moved her to the pillow, covered her with a red quilt, and saw her smiling sweetly in her sleep, as if her head was resting on the waves, without makeup on, His face was very pale, but it was dyed with a faint rosy color of joy, his heart was filled with tenderness, and he felt that he was also in the ocean, the wind was blowing gently, the waves were gently swaying, he was swaying gently in the waves... ...Is this really not a dream?He and Yingluo will finally become a couple? !He also lay down in the quilt, held her hand, closed his eyes, and shed tears.

On the fourth day of their wedding, Fu Heng resumed going to the military plane.After Yingluo saw him off, she didn't feel sleepy anymore, so she took Pearl for a walk in the garden.The weather was quite cold, but the master and servant were very happy. On the way back to the room, Pearl said: "Master, I see that you have talked a lot these days. I am really happy for you!"Yingluo asked: Am I very silent in the palace?Pearl nodded and said, "Especially when we were in Yuanmingyuan."Now it's all right!

Yingluo didn't speak.On the road, I met Yao Kun, the housekeeper. Yao Kun was in his early forties, with dark skin, neither fat nor thin, and a small mustache. It's very quiet, and I haven't even seen the owner.He hurriedly stood down and saluted her, saying: Good morning, madam.Yingluo smiled at him and asked a few words, Yao Kun answered each one, Yingluo said: I heard that your wife is in charge of this garden.

Yao Kun hurriedly said: She likes to play with flowers and grass, she just moves her mouth, and the servants do their best.The young master said that you like gardenias, and she will plant them in spring, Madam don't worry.It's so cold, madam, be careful of catching a cold.The young master gave orders today, and the villain will invite Dr. Zhou to give his wife a pulse and tonic in a short while.Yingluo nodded and said: Don't be nervous.What's your wife's name?Yao Kun said: Four joys.

Yingluo's master and servant all laughed, and Yingluo said, "This name is so joyful!"When I ask her to come to see me later, I will add two girls.Yao Kun said: "Yes, Madam's dowry is Miss Pearl and Master Quan. It's really not enough. There are many servants in this house, but there are no maids, because there is no master to live in. I asked Sixi to pay attention to it. The young master said this. I'll wait for you to come and listen to you, and I'll ask her to tell you in person later.

Yingluo smiled and walked straight forward, Pearl also smiled at him.Yao Kun looked at the backs of the master and the servant, and really couldn't figure out the origin of the new mistress. For some reason, the young master chose to live with her here, and even picked her up in the middle of the night to marry her secretly.He just met her face to face, and saw that she was pale, delicate and petite, but yesterday when the old lady came to salute, the one who can marry the young master is naturally not an ordinary person.

After returning to the room, Xiao Quanzi came in, greeted Yingluo, and said to her: Congratulations, master!Congratulations master!The slave is going to the street to do New Year's shopping, what does the master need?Yingluo murmured, "Is it so early to do New Year's shopping?There is no procurement in this mansion, why do you want to go?Xiao Quanzi said: "Housekeeper Yao asked the servant to go, saying that this year we welcome the master to come through the door, and we must arrange it properly. Master Fu Heng ordered it, so it is only acceptable for the slave to be the master."Yingluo laughed and said, "I don't need anything. Now I don't go out and meet people. I don't even need rouge and gouache. Look at what Pearl needs."

Pearl hurriedly said: I don't need anything either.Xiao Quanzi laughed and said: How can I not want rouge and gouache?Although the outside is far away, the slave will figure it out, and the slave will come out easily, so the master will let the slave go for a stroll.Yingluo looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "You monkey, don't be so complacent!"Xiao Quanzi giggled.Yingluo said again: "You and Pearl, don't call them slaves anymore. They will make people suspicious and say 'I'."Xiao Quanzi responded and withdrew.Yingluo looked at his back, thoughtfully.

After breakfast, she called Sixi to talk.Sixi is almost forty, her skin is not white, her figure is strong, but she is neat and tidy, but it does not match her name to some extent. She and Yao Kun are married couples. On the wedding day, Yingluo met her face to face.She said that Yao Kun told her that Madam was going to add a girl, and she saw a few at the market that day that were not bad, but she didn't know if they were still there now.Yingluo then told her her request and asked her to do it.She felt quite strange, why Madam didn't go out to look at the market, and brought back the ones she agreed with, and thought it was Madam who wanted to see her work, so she was very careful, and after several days, brought back four little girls, Yingluo stayed Tweety and Xiaofu.

After Sixi went back, she told her husband that the new wife was very happy, but she was a little haggard. Yao Kun smiled, but said nothing. Not girly dress up.Sixi understood what her husband meant, and said with a smile: I happened to meet the young master when he was going out this morning. Seeing that he was in good spirits, and his expression was extremely happy... The old lady dotes on the young master very much. I came here for a while yesterday and made arrangements .The young lady has a small body, and the old lady can't see. If she saw it, she would be worried.However, as the saying goes: the outside is not as strong as the inside.Listening to the new lady's words, she is a capable and meticulous person, so mysterious and kept from being mentioned by outsiders, she must have a lot of background.

Yao Kun nodded and said: The person who came back said that Dr. Zhou said he would come after lunch, so he can take a good look at it.Wang Zhong should be here, I will ask him to buy what the young master ordered this morning.Sixi laughed again: It seems that the young master also loves the new wife, this couple dare to love each other!It's just like this when we met, this is a match!However, who would not like not to accommodate our young master?

After Yao Kun went out, his son Yao Changtian led his three-year-old grandson Dahu in from the outside, leaned on the kang, Sixi happily embraced Dahu, hugged him on his lap, and gave him the candied fruit and peanuts on the table. He asked his son, "Isn't Madam going out?"Where is your daughter-in-law?Her son shook his head and said: "Only that young master Quan went out, and no one took him with him, saying that he is not used to being followed."Don't you think so?They are all weird.Xiaoqing was feeding the two tigers, so she asked me to ask what to eat for lunch.

Sixi hurriedly said: Don't talk nonsense, our mansion has finally become lively and happy events are held.It's really either not coming, or a big deal when it comes.Listen to the master's orders and serve well.At noon, I will be stewing roe deer meat. The old lady brought it from the mansion yesterday, and I hung it under the eaves of the kitchen.The old lady said, this is what the young master brought back from hunting with the emperor recently. Use ginger, put some salt, stew until soft, tear it with your hands and eat it with garlic.If it weren't for this new lady, how sooner or later we would be able to see her old lady, she is really kind, the mistress is approachable, and she gave such a rare thing, you have never eaten it when you grow up.Only the old lady can give birth to a son like the young master, just like Tianqiao's storyteller said, handsome as jade, handsome in facial features, looking forward to flying like a god!

Yao Changtian laughed, stood up, and said, "Could it be that you have taken a fancy to the young master?"It's only been a few days since I saw him!Look fresh!Happier than your son and grandson!Sixi spat: Bah, you just can't spit out ivory like a dog's mouth!Drinking too much and talking nonsense, it's not a good idea to be heard by the new lady!Yao Changtian said: "Whenever I drink, you always wrong me, come on, come on, I'm going to Ansheng."As soon as I opened the door curtain, I went to tell my daughter-in-law Xiaoqing.

Later, shortly after Yingluo moved into Yujing Garden, the housekeeper there died of a sudden illness. Yao Kun became the housekeeper of Yujing Garden.Hu Lin is in charge of Yingluo's going out, Yao Changtian is in charge of other female relatives going out, and his daughter-in-law Xiaoqing is in charge of the eating utensils in Yujing Garden.Among the servants in Yujing Garden, apart from Cui'er and Xiaofu, only Yao Kun's family knew that Yingluo was definitely not the daughter of the Nalan family. Since she married Fu Heng and adopted her to the Nalan family, she must be richer than the Nalan family. The Cha family is still a senior, guessing that she is an illegitimate princess hidden by the late emperor. Her husband died early and she was rationed to Fu Heng. She is still married and must still be the first wife.I am also very fortunate that my family finally turned around because of the marriage of this mysterious new lady.

When Fu Heng came back from the palace, it was usually at dinner time.Fu Heng originally had dinner, but he didn't go there recently, so after dinner, he would accompany Yingluo to the garden.When they were walking, they didn't talk about the emperor or the former queen. They both avoided mentioning the past. Seeing that Fu Heng never mentioned Qinglian, Yingluo felt that he deliberately avoided talking about it, so she didn't ask.So I only talk about some idle things in the mansion, such as buying new year's goods, etc., and there are few people in the mansion, so these topics are also very simple.

The two didn't talk about having a child. This is a major event for a couple, especially Fu Heng and Yingluo are not young, but this topic involves both Yingluo's fear and the emperor, especially Yingluo has hidden worries, so it has become a couple. An invisible taboo.In short, once the gate of Chunshu Hutong is closed, it is the world of Fu Heng and Yingluo, which is very simple.It seems that they have no family, no relatives, no past, Ying Luo has never been in the palace, and Fu Heng is not an important military officer. They are a pair of lovers with only you and me, no different from when they were young.

This unusually peaceful day is very important to Yingluo.Because there is nothing else to talk about, the couple are single-minded as newlyweds, and the skin-to-skin relationship quickly eliminates all even the slightest grievances between them. "Enmity" and then guilt and heartache "I can't get over it" and many other things that can't be said, just like this, silently, dissolve in vegetables and rice, and in the rubbing of ears and temples... Fu Heng's warmth towards her Her tenderness, tolerance, and accommodation exceeded her expectations, and she was equally tolerant and accommodating to Fu Heng, and she was no longer stubborn. The two of them loved each other better than when they were young.

So what are you talking about? There are so many things, such as small things like Yingluo gathering dew, cooking tea, burning incense and barbecue, or the soup that Mrs. Liu makes every day. The couple can talk for a long time, but they didn't say anything.Or don't say anything, just let Fu Heng hug her from behind, sit on the couch together and look at the garden outside the window, you can watch it for half an hour, or listen to Yingluo playing the piano, and the two of them play chess...

In fact, marrying a woman is not a big deal, Manchus have always been like this. In the years after entering the customs, the royal family was still accepting marriages. Today, a hundred years later, the emperor is still accepting women, although it is for state needs.For example, Concubine Rong, who was recently favored by the Sixth Palace, was originally Huo Jizhan's wife.But Yingluo, Emperor Fuheng and Rongyin, the relationship and past of these four people are naturally complicated and unspeakable. Yingluo was once the emperor's concubine, which is different from Rongfei or other women.

The two were originally separated from each other, and the qin girl Xiao Lang burst into tears, and both of them couldn't let him go day and night. Unexpectedly, they had a mandarin dream together. She is Fu Heng's girl, so she doesn't want Pearl to wait in the room, and she serves tea and water to take care of daily life.Fu Heng only said with a smile: "Good girl, if I share your love with the mandarin tent, how can I let you make the quilt and make the bed? I can pick flowers and greens for her, fold the clothes, and do everything. But the Yao family only thinks that it must be this romantic young woman." People are fascinated by the young master, pretending to be low and leaning down, thanks to her thinking! Every day laughing behind the scenes... They can't connect this delicate little woman with the imperial concubine of the Forbidden City...

After a long time, Yingluo couldn't remember what she had said to Fu Heng when she was newly married, but the peaceful feeling of being isolated from the world, not being disturbed, not worrying and doing whatever she wanted, remained in her heart for a long time.During that time, even she doubted that Fu Heng was really Lord Fu Heng, and was she really Wei Yingluo?

It turned out that she didn't know enough about Fu Heng, not just her daily life.Although she and Fu Heng share the same mind, gazing from a distance is not the same as living intimately.It would be difficult to explain all aspects of Fu Heng clearly, and she couldn't do it well either.But the more she understands, the more she feels that he is eternally young and incomparable. In her heart, she can see every aspect of Fu Heng.

The real meeting between her and the old lady was half a month after they got married.In fact, that can't be called a meeting, because she only saw the old lady, but the old lady couldn't see her.Although the old lady has gray hair, she is still an elegant, amiable and delicate lady, she speaks in a soft voice, but it is different from what she imagined.The old lady brought up the child.And the child, in fact, came early, in the first few days of their wedding, as if to prove that the relationship between the two of them has never faded, and it is only waiting for the golden wind and jade dew to meet again!This is Fulongan.At that time, Yingluo actually started to use Ye Tianshi's conditioning formula.After her son was born, when she thought about this newly married time, she couldn't help but feel complacently: Of course she will be pregnant!

The couple talked about Qinglian more than a month later, she really didn't expect that Qinglian had passed away three years ago, and she was a girl who was more miserable than Mingyu.I once went to Qinglian's grave to pinch earth for incense.

Later, one knot, two knots, and three knots were tied on that rope... Many people admire Mrs. Nalan, but she often envies old Mrs. Fucha, who is her own mother-in-law. How could she have given birth to Fu Heng? son? !Two Fucha siblings were born!She knew that it would be difficult for her and Fu Heng's children to surpass him and the former queen's sister.But there is no doubt that Fu Heng has always been hers, the star she picked off and held in her hand.

The author has something to say:

There is a side story below.

[Picking the Stars] ([-]) The long song quoted in it is the lyrics of "Picking the Stars from the Sky" sung by Zheng Shaoqiu.

[Roe deer meat] has always been known as the king of lean meat, because roe deer has no fat in its body, and the meat is rich in nutrition, tender and delicious, and has the functions of warming the spleen and stomach, strengthening the heart and moistening the lungs, promoting dampness, strengthening yang and prolonging life.Roe deer is the main hunting animal in the Royal Hunting Garden, and it is also the favorite game delicacy of the royal family and nobles. It is said that some hunters in the ancient Mulan Paddock even lived to be over a hundred years old because of eating roe deer meat. .It is said that during the Kangxi period, a minister suffered from dysentery, and the imperial doctor's various treatments were ineffective. When Kangxi learned of this, he sent an order to use "stewed roe deer meat" for treatment.The roe deer is very curious and stupid, so there is a saying that it is called a silly roe deer.

[Manchu Marriage Customs] In the era of Nurhaci and Huang Taiji, the marriage of King Khan was still the custom of the Jurchens outside the customs. Due to the polygamy system of the Manchus and political and economic needs, many of the female relatives of Huang Taiji belonged to Mongolian Lindan Khan. The widow, such as Da Fujin of Xigong Linzhi Palace, noble concubine Borjijit (named Namuzhong), she was originally Doro Dafujin of the last Khan Lin Dan Khan, known as Nang Nang Fujin, Nang Nang Queen Mother, or De Queen Mother Legedele, in the month after Lin Dan Khan's death, Queen Nang Nang gave birth to Lin Dan Khan's posthumous son Abu Nai.

Huang Taiji once told Dabeile Daishan, saying: "This Fujin is the famous Dafujin of Chahar Khan, and I should marry it." Dai Shan replied: "Although this Fujin is a Dafujin, I have no money, silk and livestock. How can I raise it?" When the Empress Dowager Sutai arrives in Chahar, I want to marry her.” Huang Taiji rejected Daishan on the grounds that everyone had discussed giving the Empress Dowager Sutai to Jierhalang, and sent envoys several times Daishan was ordered to marry the Empress Dowager Nangnang, but Daishan never agreed.Abatataiji and others persuaded Huang Taiji that the empress dowager Nangnang was Lin Danhan's "Duoluo Dafujin, Khan should accept it and not marry others".Huang Taiji stated that he had first married Lin Danhan's widow, Dou Tumen Fujin, and then married the Empress Dowager Nangnang, which "is not compatible with righteousness".After more than a month, at the request of Zhubeile, he just married the Empress Dowager Nangnang.

In the tenth year of Tiancong (1636), Borzigit gave birth to the No. 11 daughter of Huang Taiji, Princess Gu Lun Duan Shun.Later, he gave birth to a son, Bomu Boguoer (the sixth year of Chongde, born in 1642).Fujin, who married Lin Dan Khan, has huge political and economic interests behind him, because as I said earlier, the marriage system of the Mongolians is that the wives live separately, and the wealth of King Khan is scattered in the hands of these women and their clansmen. It's not the moneyless livestock that Daishan said.Concubine Zhuang is the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, who is the side Fujin of Huang Taiji's West Palace Yongfu Palace. She married Huang Taiji when she was young, but when she was a concubine in the old capital of Shenyang, her status was lower than that of Namu Zhong.The level of status has been extended. According to the records of "Kangxi Daily Life Notes", Emperor Kangxi first went to the Taizong Imperial Concubine Palace to visit Namuzhong, and then went to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Palace to greet them.In the 13th year of Kangxi (1674), Na Muzhong, the noble concubine of Yijing, died of illness.

And one of Huang Taiji's Fujin, the Yehenala family, had become his Fujin before Huang Taiji ascended the throne, and later generations regarded him as Huang Taiji's concubine, called side concubine.Her first husband was Karkama, a coater from Zhenghuang Banner (who gave birth to her second son).The second husband was Taizong Huang Taiji (the first son: Shuo Sai).When Shuo Sai was young, his biological mother was bestowed by his father Huang Taiji to a minister as his wife, that is, his third husband, Zhan Tuxietu, who had served as an internal minister.The fourth husband is the captain of Xianghuangqi Qingche, Daerhu, a member of the Beile Menggebulu tribe of the Hada tribe.This is the example of [Giving Wife and Subject].

During the Shunzhi period after entering the customs, Hauge, the eldest son of Huang Taiji, was imprisoned and expelled from the throne because of his dispute with Dorgon earlier, and committed suicide in confinement. Daughter of the king, younger sister of Dorgon's descendant Fujin.After Hauge's death, she remarried to Dorgon, who was Hauge's uncle. The situation is called the marriage of husband and brother; it also includes the marriage of a man who continues to marry a sister and the marriage of a customary wife and sister.Therefore, the unofficial rumors that Xiaozhuang Wen had an affair with Dorgon, and that the Empress Dowager married the Regent was based on the succession marriage of the Manchus.In the novel including the original play of Yanxi Palace, Yuan Chunwang instigates Hong Zhou and mentions Dorgon, and there is this hint behind it, which means that Hong Zhou may marry Queen Nala if he succeeds in usurping the throne.

Because Huang Taiji had many wives in his early years, the sons born to his wives were all legitimate sons, so Hauge was originally a legitimate son.Huang Taiji died suddenly and did not leave an edict to pass on the throne. Emperor Fulin of Shunzhi was not a direct son, but the ninth son of Huang Taiji. He was elected by the meeting of kings and ministers who discussed politics. Huang Taiji had other surviving sons, and his biological mother was not as high as Concubine Zhuang, but Na Muzhong had a son, Bomu Bogor who was three years old at the time.Therefore, Fulin was able to ascend to the throne. Later generations believed that the relationship between Xiaozhuang and Dorgon was unusual, but there was no historical evidence. It should be an important reason why Dorgon could monopolize power by supporting the young emperor.

The old customs of Manchuria did not regard the distinction between concubine and concubine as a serious matter, because basically the identities were similar.When drafting a girl, who "marries" the prince and who becomes the "gege" of the palace depends entirely on luck.Xiaozhuang married Huang Taiji at the age of 13, but gave birth to Fulin more than ten years later. Before that, she gave birth to three daughters. It seems that Huang Taiji treated her well and was named one of the four concubines.But the woman Huang Taiji loves is her elder sister Donggong Guan Suigong Dafujin and concubine Hai Lanzhu, there is no doubt about it.Hai Lanzhu was already 26 years old when she married Huang Taiji. She must have been married before, but there is no historical record. She married Huang Taiji the latest, but when she became a concubine, her status was second only to her aunt Qingning Palace Zhonggong The monarch Fujin Zhezhe ranked first among the four concubines.After Shengjing became a concubine, Huang Taiji only had one wife, namely Zhe Zhe, and the rest were concubines, but there was still a difference in status between concubines, that is, there was no equal relationship between concubines.After Hai Lanzhu's death, Min Huigong and Concubine Yuan were named after her, and Concubine Yuan was a very high title.When the later emperors of the Qing Dynasty ascended the throne and enshrined their queens, they made the empresses of Fu Jin, also known as the so-called "Yuan Concubine".Gradually, due to the influence of Sinicization, the distinction between concubine and concubine became more and more important. Who is the biological mother of the prince and the mother's origin has a lot to do with it.
