Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

The emperor has not left the Hall of Mental Cultivation since he came back from outside the pass.

After lunch, in Shoukang Palace, Nanny Liu was looking at the Queen Mother in front of the mirror.Nanny Liu said: Empress Dowager, what Li Yu said when he came to greet the emperor in the morning, it is rare for the emperor to wake up late.The queen mother pursed her lips and said with a smile: I told you earlier that Shen Bi is a child who is transparent at all.Nanny Liu also smiled and said, "Look, servant girl, she looks a bit like you when you were young."

The Empress Dowager said: "She is my He'an, and I'm afraid she looks like me, but the emperor is not like the first emperor."The emperor, he looks more easy-going than the first emperor, but he is more unpredictable than the first emperor in his heart.It's not easy to get him to like him.Nanny Liu said: You mean he treats the queen?The queen mother sneered and said: "Nara, it's fine if she doesn't take me as an old woman seriously. She offended the emperor, Wei Yingluo, and Fucha's family. Her good days are coming to an end."

Nalan Liu smiled and said: Mrs. Nalan is a smart person, and you are a kindness to her and Fu Heng, she can definitely understand what you say.The Empress Dowager smiled at the mirror and said: Even if she doesn't listen to me, she has to think about Fucha's family. That's the former Empress Rongyin's house, isn't it?I am relieved, hehe.Nanny Liu also said to the mirror: Yes, you are the Lafayette.But the empress is pregnant again, and Concubine Rong may be at a disadvantage in this regard.

The queen mother smiled and said: That's good, this Lashi will not be able to serve the emperor for a long time, and can he not let other concubines serve?This harem does not belong to her Lashi, not to mention Shen Bi, newcomers come in once every three years.Nanny Liu stopped, then continued to grate, and said with a smile: You mean, it's the emperor... The queen mother looked in the mirror and smiled again, without saying a word.

Liu Nanny continued: "That's natural. When will it be her turn in the harem? The former empress, concubine Gao, concubine pure, concubine Ling, concubine Rong, if it wasn't for you, that concubine Xian would probably be a slave for the rest of her life." I have never seen such an ungrateful person.Not to mention Concubine Ling, Concubine Rong, who is also the former residence of the emperor, but since the early years, the emperor probably has never really looked at her.

The queen mother pursed her lips again, and sneered: At that time, Rongyin was dying, and I thought that although she was not born well, she was full of people and hardworking, so I asked her to take care of things, and then naturally asked the emperor to appoint her as his queen .In the eyes of the emperor, she is just a manager of the sixth palace.She hated me because of her father Naerbu, but how could she know that she had offended the emperor, and she could only blame herself. There is no emperor in her heart, hmph, she was thinking about that position...me too , Misjudged, lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot, old, useless.Forget it, she'll just sit there, she's actually the same as Leng Gong.What kind of queen, neither a first-time match nor a favorite, is thankless and gets old quickly.In the emperor's heart, he still thinks about Rong Yin.

Mother Liu smiled and said: "Yes, the Queen Mother is a blessed person, and she has a long life. The emperor is very filial, and he will not take your wishes."It's been so many years, look at the Changchun Palace, it's spotless, it's the same as back then, maybe the emperor showed it to her, but the slaves didn't understand it.The queen mother smiled and said: I think she understands, but what can she do?Alas, this woman, it's really not good to be a woman of color, but it's not okay to be colorless!

Nanny Liu has already combed the Queen Mother's hair, looked at herself in the mirror, and said while looking: "She is not bad at all."The Queen Mother said: "It's dull and boring."I'm old, I've paid attention to the rules in the palace for so many years, and I'm used to it, but I can't get used to those foxes, but this man, no matter what age, thinks differently from our women, not to mention the emperor's temper.Among these favored people, I only thought that Shen Bi was the most pleasing to the eye. She is a child with a good background, a righteous mind, and a clever person.As he spoke, he stood up, walked to the side of the couch, picked up the beads, closed his eyes, and dialed the beads one by one.

Nanny Liu cleaned up the front of the mirror and stood beside her.The queen mother opened her eyes and said to her: I know what you are worried about. You are worried that the queen will give birth to another elder brother.Mother Liu said: "I think this slave girl thinks that Elder Brother and Ge Ge are your grandchildren. There is absolutely no one you don't love, Queen Mother, and the emperor will be difficult to deal with. Then... the Queen Mother shook her head and said: This man, Fate is fixed, what happened to Concubine Jia happened after she got pregnant?Then he closed his eyes and picked the beads.

Nanny Liu nodded, thinking: This Wei Yingluo came here specially to tell the Empress Dowager that Concubine Jia was killed by the Empress, and to give the Empress Dowager the handle of the Empress, and then begged the Empress Dowager to let her see Concubine Rong and Concubine Yu to see her.She has been out of the palace, but she knows everything about the cold palace, she is by no means an easy-going lamp.And the power of the Fucha family in the harem is also so great. Fu Heng's mother thinks that the Luo family is a red belt, Fu Qing's wife is the granddaughter of the holy ancestor, and Rong Yin is the wife of the former empress and emperor. The emperor is very affectionate to her. The power in the harem is already deeply rooted, and Fu Heng is the emperor's confidant who holds the power in the previous court. Although Rongyin has passed away, Nala has become the queen, and Yuan Chunwang next to him has become the head of the respect room, but Fu Heng had earlier As the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he is now one of the leading ministers of the guards. There are still many people in the harem who want to get in touch with the Fucha family. No wonder the Nala family forced the queen mother, and the queen mother took advantage of the opportunity to give Wei Yingluo to Fucha. Heng, the Empress Dowager doesn't have to do anything by herself, it's much better than just supporting Wei Yingluo to deal with the Empress, I feel more admiration for the Empress Dowager.After Elder Brother passed away on the thirteenth day of the new year, the Empress Dowager let the emperor know about Qian Zhengyuan's fall from the horse, and now the concubine Jia is added...

In the evening, Fu Heng went back to Yujing Garden for dinner, saw Yingluo's face beaming with joy, and asked her about Haishi's visit to her during the day.Yingluo said: "Master, I went to see Baiyi Nunnery with Sister Hai. It's a small secluded nunnery, very close to us. There are so many of them, the Empress Dowager. She will move there from Nianhua Nunnery tomorrow. Little Quanzi will meet her." Take someone to do it.Fu Heng nodded, and said: "The emperor stopped court today, and the Hall of Mental Cultivation is still closed.Yingluo's eyes lit up, and she said: "Concubine Rong is really powerful, this person is beautiful, just taking advantage of her!"

Fu Heng smiled and said: She is our Yingluo's pawn, and you have taken advantage of her!They are all occupied by the emperor!Yingluo said: If you hadn't told me about Sanxitang's post, I wouldn't have remembered Concubine Gao. I didn't expect that the emperor would still be so fond of her. At that time, everyone in Changchun Palace hated her to death. up!You told me that Li Yu told you about that post, but how could he tell you?

Fu Hengdao: Once at an evening meeting, the emperor suddenly said that he would drink with me. After seeing that post, I quietly came out. Li Yu apologized to me on behalf of the emperor, so I asked him. He said that it was a copybook that the emperor liked very much. Concubine Gao found it for the emperor. Xitang.Yingluo pursed her lips and said: Miss Gao Guifei, what wine do I want you to drink?

Fu Hengdao: It's been so long, except for the current empress, that is, I am his old friend, and there are not many people who know about Concubine Gao.After Li Yu talked to me, I realized that the Emperor had just discussed Gao Bin with us that day. He was extremely dissatisfied with Gao Bin. I said a few words for Gao Bin. I think the Emperor also felt that he owed Gao Bin. Concubine.Yingluo said: Young Master, you are such a kind person.Fu Heng smiled and said, "I'm telling the truth for Gao Bin."And when I came back that night, you gave me a knot of sympathy, thinking about everything, Yingluo, we are already very happy.It was only then that Yingluo remembered that it was the first time she went to Nianhua Temple to visit Haishi, and realized that Concubine Chun had feelings for Fu Heng on the same day, so she sighed.

Seeing her feeling emotional, Fu Heng turned around and said: You can find the master who plays the huqin.Yingluo said triumphantly: You don't know, I often go to Tianqiao, and I know a little bit about everything. The first time I heard Master Lu play the piano, I shed tears. , Mingyu played the piece for his sister. It turned out that he was the huqin master in the palace, and he composed the piece.After the death of Concubine Gao, he was sent out of the palace. Because of his guilt, the music halls outside did not dare to hire him, so he had to change his name and surname and live on the street as a performer.Now I understand that the queen has implicated so many people secretly, because she was the real murderer who killed Concubine Gao, and she wanted to completely bury the old affairs in the palace.After Huo Jizhan was arrested, I was worried that Concubine Rong would fall out of favor, so I went to find Master Lu. It happened that he had composed a new song of eternal regret. At that time, I thought Concubine Rong could sing this song. It was originally to remind the emperor of my sister, but later I heard you mention Concubine Gao It was only after sending the post that I thought of her. It was such a coincidence that it helped Master Lu.

Fu Heng smiled and said: You have more ideas.Yingluo said happily: It would be the most useful if the Queen Mother agrees to let Concubine Rong live in the Duke's Mansion for a few days. Concubine Rong is also smart, so she can learn it quickly.Unexpectedly, she is gentle and beautiful, but she is a powerful and good person.

Fu Heng thought for a while, and said: She and the empress had a quarrel in the harem, but she probably wanted to repay us.Yingluo said: Yes, but the emperor treats her very well, she is a person who values ​​affection, and she is also for the emperor.Fu Hengdao: Your majesty, he also wants to use Concubine Rong to threaten the queen.Yingluo looked at Fu Heng in amazement, and Fu Heng picked up a chopstick dish for her, and said, "Yarhashan's son was silenced and stopped by Yue Bu. He reported this matter to me. This matter is the emperor's responsibility." As ordered, I sent the secret package to the emperor, and the emperor already knew about it on the way back to Luan.

Yingluo frowned and said, "The queen is so impatient?Fu Hengdao: "Probably because she has another emperor's heir. She is always worried that her chief envoy Yalhashan's dealing with me will be revealed, but the prince is still the one who did it."Yingluo said: "The emperor still doesn't know, why did he treat the queen like that?"

Fu Hengdao: I think the emperor knows something about the empress, but he never told me. After Huo Jizhan was arrested, I felt he was wary of the empress, so Concubine Rong is naturally a good candidate.Yingluo took a few more mouthfuls of food, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in her mind, and she said: I understand, the emperor already knew about Qian Zhengyuan being thrown to death by a horse, and that was the uncle the emperor wanted to recognize but couldn't. The handwriting of the Queen Mother and her old man.

Fu Heng was very surprised and said: Qian Zhengyuan?what are you saying?It turns out that Qian Zhengyuan from the Ministry of Rites?Is he the emperor's uncle?How can this be!Yingluo then told Fu Heng all about the quarrel between the mother and son of the empress dowager, which started with a letter from Mrs. Wen Shu, and it was Empress Nala who planned to expose the incident.

Fu Hengda was taken aback, and solemnly said: This matter must not be leaked, what matters is the emperor's throne and the peace of the court.The emperor is loved by Lord Kangxi, not only because of his outstanding talents, but also because the queen mother is a Manchu, and Hongzhou's mother is a Han.If it is now revealed that the emperor's biological mother is also a Han Chinese, it will be difficult to ensure that there are people who will have different aspirations and shake the foundation of the country.If the queen knew, Hong Zhou must know...

Yingluo said solemnly: Well, that's why I didn't even say anything about you.But I believe that although the empress is vicious, she will not harm the emperor, except for the twelfth elder brother, she will soon have a child, and Hong Zhou will not do anything for her, so there is no need to worry about it.Suddenly thought of something, and continued: The emperor loves Concubine Rong very much, and hardly goes to the other concubines, and the queen has not slept with the queen for a long time. Concubine Rong told me in Fuguo Gongfu, but the queen suddenly Pregnant, and then the emperor specially accompanied the queen to go outside the pass to worship the ancestors.

Fu Heng sighed: The emperor is a very smart person, if so, he should be very suspicious of the queen, let alone Hong Zhou.But as I said before, one is that the Empress of the Central Palace has a legitimate son, and the other is his own brother who is the prince of the court. There must be sufficient and justified reasons to move these two people, otherwise he will not be able to face the world, and it will even arouse the ruling and opposition parties. In turmoil, it is the common people who suffer.Now that the world has just been unified, returning to Xinjiang is a waste of time, and the emperor will never be arrogant.It seems that besides his doting on Concubine Rong and liking Concubine Rong, Concubine Rong is also very useful to him.Concubine Rong can't bear children, so the emperor can rest assured to pamper her and stand up for her, Huo Jizhan's matter will not affect Concubine Rong at all.

Yingluo thought for a while, then sighed: You are right.Originally, Concubine Rong only asked for an order to go to Fuguo Duke's Mansion to visit relatives for one day, so that I could see me. The Queen Mother immediately agreed for so many days. It turned out that she wanted to use Concubine Rong's hand to bring down the Queen. It seems that she agreed to let me see Concubine Rong. It is also for this reason that Sister Hai was asked to live near us to give me favors.Because it is not easy to bring down the queen, especially now that she has the flesh and blood of the emperor again.

Fu Heng only looked at Yingluo, when Yingluo suddenly thought of it, she blurted out: Yongqi?Regarding Sister Hai, the Empress Dowager is because of Yongqi?Fu Heng nodded and said: In the future, my brothers' intervention may solve all the problems at once!

Yingluo said: "Ginger is still old and spicy. The queen mother eats fast and prays to Buddha without making a sound. In fact, she is doing things in secret. I should have thought of it long ago."According to what you said, she has been swallowing the queen's accusation against her for many years, not only to protect herself, but also to protect the emperor.Fu Heng smiled and said: "The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind. Now Yingluo has become someone else's pawn!"Yingluo looked at him and said with a smile: Young master, is it true that you have already thought about it a long time ago, and you will use elder brother to bring down the queen and Hongzhou in the future.

Fu Heng said with a smile: "Walk around and watch again, that's also a way."Now, let's just worry about the baby!We must be careful about the emperor's life experience, since you know it, the emperor naturally thinks that I know it too.You can't tell Concubine Rong, it's good that she doesn't know, we all have to be very careful.

Yingluo said: Well, the Empress Dowager must have let the Emperor know about Qian Zhengyuan, but the Emperor didn't know it was the Empress Dowager, so this matter should not be mentioned again between their mother and child. The Empress Dowager naturally understands this truth, so she will not directly talk to me say something.Fu Hengdao: "It seems that the Empress Dowager's treatment of Hong Zhou is probably just superficial.

Yingluo then whispered something in his ear, Fu Heng looked at her in amazement, she nodded solemnly, and said: "I don't know the specifics, the Queen Mother didn't say anything."The queen mother is kind to us, and we can't let their mother and child get along with each other whether it's public or private.
