Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

Yingluo looked at Fu Heng's closed eyelashes trembling slightly, and felt that she was going crazy with pleasure!Fu Heng buried his head on her neck and stroked her hair. She felt the baby protesting in her stomach, punching and kicking everywhere, and she couldn't help laughing out loud.Fu Heng asked: What did Doctor Ye say when he saw it recently?Yingluo said: "He said that the child and I are fine, don't worry.How have you been outside for so long?Are you not sick?Fu Hengdao: No, I'm fine.He moved his hand to her stomach again, trying to comfort the child, but it was still the same as before. Wherever his hand went, the child would kick it violently, and the kick made Yingluo very painful. Come, Fu Heng opened his eyes in fright, and immediately took his hands away, and she giggled again.

Fu Heng carried her to the bathroom, she put her arms around his neck and smiled coquettishly: Is it heavy?Fu Heng smiled and said: It's okay.After the bath was over, he held her and sat in front of the dressing table, wiping her hair with a cloth.She enjoyed it very much, and finally leaned against him, looked at her blush cheeks and wet hair in the mirror, and said softly: Master, I miss you so much.Fu Heng turned her around, buried her face on his body, and said softly: "I miss you too, I miss you very much. Fortunately, you are well and everything is safe."Next time I go out, I will take you with me.

Yingluo raised her head from his arms in amazement, and said: How can I do that? !Fu Heng smiled and said: The next time we go out is tomorrow.It was only when Yingluo came to her senses that she hit him immediately. He knelt down, grabbed her hand, looked up at her, and said, "I'll accompany you to the street tomorrow?"Yingluo looked down at him, her eyes sparkled, and she nodded happily.

On this day, Yingluo asked the kitchen to restore Fu Heng's supplementary meals. Except for eating and drinking soup, they almost slept on the bed. Fu Heng was still catching up on sleep. Yingluo was prone to sleepiness because of her heavy body, so Fu Heng returned home. , Back to their side, there is a kind of relaxation, the two wake up from sleep.During the period, after her hair dried, Fu Heng faced the mirror again and helped her comb her hair. After combing it, she smiled at the mirror and untied her hair, and the two went to lie down on the bed again.

Another day and night passed, and on the morning of the fourth day, both of them felt refreshed and had breakfast with Haishi. Haishi asked Fu Heng about the hard journey, and the couple went out by car.Yingluo said that the last time she went to Fragrant Hills, she didn't enter Chengxiang, so she proposed to go to Xianliang Temple near Chunshu Hutong. She didn't go out when she lived there, so she didn't go there.

In the Yonghe Palace, Concubine Qing took out the letter that Yingluo sent to herself in Nanyuan last time.When Fukang'an entered the palace, Yingluo taught the nanny to bring her a letter, all about Fukang'an's living habits and daily life, and thanked her for taking care of Fukang'an and the fifth elder brother.Afterwards, she knew that Yingluo had become Mrs. Zhongyong and became pregnant, because everyone in the palace knew about these two things, but no one knew that it was Yingluo, and the Queen Mother never mentioned Yingluo to her again.In this letter, besides talking about Jingli's entry into Yujing Garden, Yingluo gave detailed instructions about Fukang'an.

Just watching, the nurse came in with Fu Kang'an, saying that the morning class was over.Concubine Qing accepted the letter, put it aside, and hugged Fu Kang'an in her arms with a smile. Fu Kang'an liked her because she was gentle.She said to Fukang'an: An'er, do you miss your Ama?Fukang'an said: "Ama went to work for the emperor, and he said he would be back soon."Then I will see Ann.Concubine Qing asked, "Do you still remember Auntie?"Fukang'an thought for a while, and said, "Remember, she was very kind to An'er, and even taught Cui'er to play bow and arrow for An'er."Concubine Qing said again: "Then if my aunt becomes An'er's mother-in-law, how about it?"Fukang'an said: No, An'er wants to celebrate Auntie, you will be An'er's mother-in-law.

The wet nurse hurriedly said: "Young master, don't talk nonsense!"Concubine Qing immediately looked at her, shook her head, and said to Fu Kang'an, "Aunt Qing, she is the mother of the fifth elder brother. The fifth elder brother is the emperor's son, and An'er is the son of your ama, Lord Fu Heng. So Aunt Qing can't be An'er's mother-in-law, understand?Fukang'an asked in surprise: Are you the mother of the fifth prince?But he called you Concubine Qingmu.Both the nurse and concubine Qing laughed, and concubine Qing said: "Mother concubine, also means Er Niang."

Fukangan nodded and said: Oh, I see.An'er wants to be with you, it doesn't matter if you can't be An'er's mother-in-law.While talking, Concubine Rong and Caiyun walked in, Fukang'an saw her, let go of Concubine Qing, threw herself into her arms, and said, "Aunt Xiangxiang!You came to see Ann so early today!Then he inhaled vigorously in her arms to smell the aroma.Ever since he and Concubine Rong got close, he would do this every time they met.

Concubine Rong squatted down, hugged him with a smile, walked to the couch, sat on the other side of the short table, then took off his boots, and hugged him again.Fukang'an leaned up to her cheek and kissed her, and she kissed his little face too.Every time she sees Fu Kang'an, she hugs him like this for a while.The other three looked at them and smiled without saying a word.Then Concubine Rong said to Fu Kang'an: An'er, your Ama is back!He will come to see Ann in two days!Fukangan cheered happily, and said to her in her arms: Aunt Xiangxiang, Aunt Qing said she couldn't be An'er's mother-in-law, so can you be An'er's mother-in-law?

Concubine Rong blushed, remembering that day when Fu Kang'an met Fu Heng Fu Kang'an on the corridor, Fu Kang'an said that he was not his mother-in-law, but now he has changed his mind, and said softly: "An'er has a mother-in-law, Mrs. Fu Heng's." Husband... Concubine Qing immediately interrupted her, and said to Fukang'an: "An'er, Aunt Qing chilled the sour plum soup early in the morning. Go and taste it. Is it good?"Then he winked at the nurse, and the nurse hurried up and put on boots for Fu Kang'an, so Fu Kang'an happily went out with her.

Concubine Rong looked at her and said softly: Thank you.Concubine Qing smiled and said: You are here to tell An'er that Master Fu Heng is back.But An'er is young, he doesn't know about his Ama, we have to tell him slowly, this is Madam Nalan's intention.Concubine Rong nodded and said: I understand.

After the riding and archery class in the morning, Nala asked Yongxuan to meet him in Chengqian Palace and asked about his homework. Yongxuan greeted her and asked her how she was doing. The two chatted for a while.Nalashi looked at him and said: "Yongxie, your grandma decided to be Argon's youngest daughter to be your Fujin. She is not yet 14 years old, and Huangeriang thinks she is too young."

Yongxie thought to herself: Concubine Rong is younger than Huang Ama.So he said with a smile: Yongxie likes the young ones, so don't worry, Huang Erniang, if Huang's grandma says she is good, she must be good.Nala shook her head, and said: "Emperor Niang originally wanted to find you a steady girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, so that you can rest assured that Argon's eldest daughter is more suitable.And the eldest daughter will be better.

Yongxuan smiled and said: "Thank you, Queen Mother, rest assured, even if the sons and ministers are divided, they will also abide by the rules, follow the teachings of Huang Erniang and Huang Erniang, work hard, and never slack off.Nala smiled and said: That's good.In this way, your side Fujin and Gege, the Queen Mother will choose older and more stable ones, they will enter the mansion first, and you get along with them first.

Yongxie really doesn't like older people, but it's hard to say anything, so I can only accept it. I just think in my heart: no matter who it is, it is impossible to compare with Concubine Rong. If I inherit the Datong in the future, I can be like Huang Ama , accept a woman as good-looking and temperamental as Concubine Rong... She is so gentle to Fukang'an... I remembered that day when I saw Concubine Rong squatting on the corridor in the palace, Fukang'an was tired of her In her arms, she coaxed him, smiling happily...

Nala talked for a while, seeing that Yongxuan seemed to be absent-minded, he said softly: Are you tired of riding and shooting?Yongxuan said: "My son didn't sleep well last night.Nala asked: "Is Ye Tianshi still drinking the calming soup?"Yongxie said: "Yes, I was writing late last night, so don't worry about the Queen's mother, I will go to bed early today."

Nala saw that he was 17 years old, but his heart was still like a child.The Empress Dowager did not refer to Ali Gun's eldest daughter, but she was undermining the status of the fourth elder brother. For his own reasons, the emperor didn't say anything, but he didn't understand anything.Unknowingly sighed.Knowing that she has always been strict, Yongxie didn't know why she sighed, so she quickly knelt down and said: "Emperor Niang, did your son do something wrong?"Queen Mother, please clarify.Nala said: "No, it's none of your business. Get up, and wait for the queen's mother to recover, and then call you to have dinner. At that time, I will also invite you, Huang Ama, to come together. You can kneel down first."Yongxuan agreed to go.

Zhen'er knew what she was thinking, and said, "Ma'am, you are worrying so much!"Anyway, the fourth elder brother is not your own, you should take care of yourself and the twelfth elder brother first.Nala closed her eyes and said nothing.

Xianliang Temple is located in Bingzhan Hutong, just south of Chunshu Hutong, three streets away from Chunshu Hutong.When they arrived at Xianliang Temple, Fu Heng got out of the car first, and then helped Yingluo get out of the car.Xiaoquanzi and Zhuzhu got off the car from behind, and the four of them entered the gate of the temple together. They saw a wide stone road leading to the main hall. From a distance, there were two stele pavilions in front of the main hall. The main hall was five rooms wide. There are green glazed tiles and hanging wooden foreheads "Xianliang Temple", bathed in the morning light of summer, has a fresh and quiet style.There were many pilgrims on the road, and it was very lively. Yingluo was very happy to see it.

Today she is wearing a light goose-yellow shirt with colorful flowers embroidered on the chest, and still only has a thorn hairpin pinned to her head.Fu Heng was wearing a blue-washed gown with a belt and the black and red concentric knot jade pendant.Pearl and Xiao Quanzi were naturally also wearing common clothes.Ye Tianshi asked Yingluo not to eat too much, and she had a thin frame, so she was not fat, but she was about to be eight months pregnant, so she had to be careful when sitting up.She supported her waist with one hand, and Fu Heng supported her with the other hand, walking slowly.Xiao Quanzi and Zhuzhu walked side by side behind them to prevent other people from approaching and colliding. Xiao Quanzi laughed softly: It is best for adults to follow and go out, so you can relax.Pearl pursed her lips and smiled.

Entering the main hall, I saw a tall Tathagata wooden Buddha enshrined. After the pilgrims in front got up, Fu Heng helped Yingluo to kneel on a futon, and then knelt down to a futon next to him.Yingluo looked at the wooden Buddha and felt a sense of peace in her heart. She closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and prayed silently.Fu Heng prayed silently just like her, but kept his eyes open.

After a while, Fu Heng went to help her up, and the two walked slowly towards the back of the hall.Yingluo said: Master, what did you pray for?Fu Hengdao: I pray that you and your child are safe.And you?Yingluo smiled and said: I pray that the young master is safe, the baby is safe, and our family will always get together.Pray for the safety of my brother and sister-in-law, and pray that the two sisters are safe in heaven.Fu Heng nodded. He also prayed for his sister just now, but he didn't say anything, because he was afraid that Yingluo would be sad.

The two walked out of the back door of the main hall and arrived in front of the Heart Sutra Stele of the Emperor's Royal Book. There were many pilgrims gathered here again. Yingluo stopped, stood on one side, and said softly:

Viewing the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva for a long time, if you practice the deep Prajna Paramita for a long time, you will see that all the five aggregates are empty, and you will endure all hardships.Relic, color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, form is emptiness, emptiness is form, and the same is true of thinking and knowing.Shariputra is the empty phase of all dharmas, neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor clean, neither increasing nor decreasing...

This Heart Sutra was often copied by her for the Empress Dowager, and she recited it backwards.Fu Heng said: There are so many people, let's go.The two walked in the temple, and saw the towering cypresses, the shade of old locust trees, and the spacious and quiet houses.In addition to pilgrims and bald monks going back and forth, Yingluo also saw officials in court clothes, felt very surprised, and asked Fu Heng what was going on.

Fu Hengdao: This temple was originally the residence of Yunxiang, the thirteenth prince of Wangfujing. When he passed away, the late emperor went to visit him, but he still didn't see his dying side. The late emperor obeyed his last wish of "giving up the residence as a temple" and turned the residence into a virtuous place. Temple, the name of this temple was given by the first emperor in memory of the old thirteen princes.Later the emperor moved it here.It is much smaller than the previous palace, and there is a scripture library behind it. Since the time of the first emperor, it has been collating and compiling various scriptures.Because it is convenient to enter the Forbidden City and the place is large, many officials who come to Beijing to report their duties often live here, so this temple has always been very lively.Chunshu Hutong is very quiet, but it is not far from the busy city, so it is very safe.

Having said that, he has entered the pagoda courtyard. There are many stone pagodas in the pagoda courtyard. After looking at them for a while, Fu Heng said, "Get tired, go out and find a place to rest."After coming out, he walked a few more steps, and happened to see a wooden stool by the side of the road, so he helped her to sit together, wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, and let her lean on him.Zhuzhu and Xiaoquanzi served them to drink water and eat fruit.

The two sat snuggled together for a while, and Fu Heng saw several provincial and frontier officials passing by, including the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Kaer Jishan, and Jiangning Weaving Tuoyong, etc., secretly thinking about why these people should come to see the emperor, but Naturally, these people didn't pay attention to Fu Heng, who was casually dressed and sitting by the road with his arms around a woman. Even if they saw it, they couldn't recognize him.Fu Heng looked at the scripture library in the distance again, but saw that the four doors were closed, and he thought to himself: In broad daylight, you should handle the school scriptures, what's going on?Suddenly I heard a little girl's voice saying: Er Niang, look, this empress (niang1) is about to give birth to a baby.

The two followed the sound, and saw an eight or nine-year-old civilian girl leading her mother to Yingluo, who looked at her with a smile.She also smiled and said: Is this a younger brother or a younger sister?Yingluo smiled and said: Do you think it is a younger brother or a younger sister?The little girl thought for a while and said, "It's my sister."Yingluo smiled and asked: Why?The little girl said: Madam, you look so good-looking, this... Your lord is also very handsome, and you have a beautiful younger sister.Her mother-in-law immediately came up, made a bow, and said: Madam, children are ignorant. From the perspective of women, this must be a young master, a young master!My wife is blessed with longevity and well-being, and I will give birth to a precious son!Takako!Then he took his daughter and left.

It turned out that she saw the couple dressed in plain clothes, but they were handsome, Yingluo was smart and charming, and Fu Heng was handsome and stable. His young master and grandma were afraid that their daughter would offend others.The little girl was dragged by her mother for a long distance, but she still turned her head and said: It must be my sister.

Yingluo smiled at Fu Heng and said, "Did you hear that, it's my sister."But Fu Heng followed the monks walking on the road with his eyes intently. Just as she was about to ask a question, Fu Heng held her hand tightly and said in a low voice: Yingluo, let's get out of here quickly.Yingluo looked at him in surprise, he had stood up, hugged her waist, and immediately turned back to the way he came, Xiao Quanzi and Pearl at the side didn't know why, so they immediately followed.Fu Heng couldn't walk fast because Yingluo was inconvenient, but he didn't walk too slowly. He didn't let out a sigh of relief until he got out of the temple, and asked Xiaoquanzi Zhuzhu to call for a carriage.

The author has something to say:

[Historical prototype] Yongqi's wife and concubine ([-])

Brother's concubine and maid is Princess.The hierarchy system in the Qing Dynasty was very strict, especially family status.Because elder brother has a high status, Fujin and Fujin must have a very good family background, and many high-ranking women, especially those from Baoyi, can only be ignorant when they enter the palace.For example, Concubine Gao was born as a servant girl of Hongli. She was born as a bureaucrat covered with a yellow flag. She lived in Liaoyang for generations.However, Gao, as the coater of the Shangsanqi of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, has the obligation to serve the court.Therefore, the Gao family was assigned to Hongli, the fourth son of the emperor, "as the elder brother's maid" in the draft of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.The Gao family was actually a high family who became an official in a coat of clothing. Gao Bin was an important minister of Yongzheng, and his official position was the governor of Hedao, so the Gao'e Party was finally formed.Qianlong's biological mother was the Empress Dowager Niu Hulu, who turned out to be Gege of the fourth elder brother Yongzheng.

Therefore, the selection of Ge Ge is also very strict. The royal family has a lot of considerations, and many Ge Ge are also from famous families, but their status is lower than that of the royal elder brother, Fujin and Fang Fujin.When elder brother ascended to the big position, it would be another world. Whoever was favored or who gained power would really affect his status in the harem.In the elder brother's time, the beautiful women of the Ministry of Internal Affairs could directly make princesses for the elder brother, but if they ascended to the high position, the beautiful women of the Ministry of Internal Affairs could not directly become concubines, and some twists and turns were needed, such as the concubine Ling in history , her early experience has been deleted due to taboo.But you can refer to other concubines from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Qianlong, such as Concubine Rong. Although the circumstances are special, they can be regarded as born in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not through the Eight Banners draft.They all went to a certain concubine to "learn the rules" first, and then they were promoted to become the emperor's women.So Erqing in the play, she was drafted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to enter the palace, it is impossible for her to directly enter the emperor's side.

Yongqi's wives and concubines in the novel refer to the above content.At that time, the mortality rate of children was so high, except for the underdeveloped medical treatment, the main reason was smallpox.The Manchus were very sensitive to smallpox, and many children died young when they were vaccinated or infected with smallpox. Kangxi became the emperor because of smallpox.It seems that the royal family also upholds the principle of survival of the fittest and not waste, so they want to have more children.Having more children is a very important bargaining chip for concubines and princes' wives and concubines. The concubine Ling in history seems to be a typical example. Having more children is related to physique, but it is undoubtedly also related to being favored.

Yongqi is Qianlong's beloved son, and we can get a glimpse of it from many historical facts, including the family affairs of the fifth elder brother. For example, the emperor continued to use Ebi after he bestowed Echang on his death. His father, Guanbao, and his uncle, Debao, held high positions and were highly valued. They were real power factions. For about 13 years, Debao was in charge of the Minister of Internal Affairs from the 52th year of Qianlong to the 40nd year of Qianlong. in this way.The Suo family was born in Baoyi, Zhengbaiqi, and the ancestor was Busuku. The situation seems to be similar to the Gao family, but it is full of people, as mentioned in the previous narration.The novel will continue to be involved later.

The location, history and interior of [Xianliang Temple] are as described in the text.In the 21st year of Qianlong, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang was Kaerjishan, Manchuria Zhenghuangqi, and Yiergenjueluoshi.
