Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

On New Year's Eve, the emperor got up early in the morning to approve memorials in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Hai Lancha had already been on vacation and did not come. Desheng's mother was ill. Yuan Chunwang, the head of the respect room, asked him to go home to visit the hospital for the New Year. Li Yu was the only one left in front of the emperor.Li Yu walked in with a picture scroll from the outside, walked to the case, and said to him: "Your Majesty, this was passed in by Wu Mingang, why don't you take a look?"The emperor put down the pen, unfolded it, and saw a painting of a beauty in a palace costume. The emperor asked: "It's hard for him. I'm still on business today. What else can he say?"Li Yu said: It's all in his notebook.As he spoke, he took out the booklet from his sleeve and handed it to the emperor. The emperor opened it, looked at it, and said, "I think about it."

Li Yu stepped back silently and stood aside.The emperor approved the memorial for a while, and asked, "What news is there from Xiao Quanzi?"Li Yu hurriedly said: He sent a letter yesterday.Then he took out a folded note from a book clip on the desk next to him and handed it to the emperor.The emperor took it apart and saw that it said: The food is not delicious these days, but other things are good.The emperor put the paper down and thought: What else is there to be dissatisfied with?He said to Li Yu: He asked someone to write it again.Li Yu hurriedly said: Yes, the emperor is at ease.

At this time, the little eunuch at the door said: Your Majesty, Concubine Rong invites you to Baoyue Tower for lunch.Before the emperor could speak, a beautiful and gentle voice said: Your majesty, don't be too busy!Li Yu only felt his eyes brighten. A woman in a red robe and a golden crown stepped into the hall. The back of the golden crown on her head was draped over her shoulders, and it was dotted with golden shiny flowers.

The emperor smiled and said, "It's so far away, why are you here?"The woman pursed her lips and smiled, then turned to Li Yu and said, "Eunuch Li, it's Chinese New Year, Shen Bi brought you half a wild duck with butter and butter that we made in the small kitchen back home, and gave it to the little eunuch outside. You can try it later. The emperor liked it very much.Li Yu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: Concubine Xie Rong, this is a shame for a slave.

Concubine Rong walked to the desk and was about to pay her respects when the emperor said: No, get up and talk.Concubine Rong smiled and said: Your Majesty, just now Shen Bi heard from the little eunuch outside that the military planes are closed today and the servants are all dispersed, so there is no reason why the master is still sitting in the battle.With that said, he walked to the back of the desk, beside the emperor.When a faint fragrance approached, the emperor was overjoyed, pushed the chair slightly, and pulled her to sit on his lap.Concubine Rong said: Your Majesty, my concubine knows that the New Year's Eve banquet in the evening is full of people and rituals, and you will be tired when it arrives, so I come here to invite you to Baoyue Tower for lunch and then take a nap.

The emperor smiled, touched her hand and said: You really have a heart for me.Concubine Rong said: "The emperor treats his concubines so well, what are they doing?"Looking at the emperor with watery eyes, he smiled slightly.Li Yu watched from the side, and also smelled a vague fragrance, thinking: This master is really a natural beauty!People are also smart, and they have learned the same tricks in the palace. If they don't give things to the emperor, they give them to the slaves in front of the emperor.

Suddenly, the little eunuch outside said: "The empress, please see me."Concubine Rong immediately said coquettishly: Your Majesty, I came first.The emperor smiled and said: You go back first, I will be here in a while.Talking and calling in.Concubine Rong was blessed and walked outside.As soon as he reached the threshold of the inner hall, Nalashi came in from the outside, holding a wooden tray in his hand, and a small white porcelain cup was placed on the wooden tray.Concubine Rong hurriedly bowed to her, she smiled and said: Sister, what a coincidence!

Concubine Rong said: Empress, what a coincidence, what good thing are you holding in your hand?Knowing that she is a Hui woman, Nala didn't care about her abrupt speech, and said: "I know that the emperor is still busy, so I asked the imperial kitchen to cook ginseng soup to warm the emperor.Concubine Rong nodded and said: "The emperor is waiting for you inside. He will go to Baoyue Tower for lunch in a while. Please forgive me and go back to prepare to meet you."Saying Yifu, he went alone.The queen secretly regretted being a step late, but turned her head with a smile on her face and stepped into the inner hall.

Seeing her coming in, Li Yu hurried forward to take the plate and put it on the emperor's desk.The emperor had heard the conversation between her and Concubine Rong long ago, smiled and said, "Just ask someone else to bring it. It's so cold, and you still come here by yourself."Seeing that the emperor was sympathetic to him, Nala was very happy, and said: "I usually call Zhen'er here. The concubine is thinking that he will not see the emperor for a while, and it is not convenient to talk tonight, so come and see the emperor first. You can take advantage of it." Let's drink the soup first.The emperor lifted the lid, drank it in one gulp, and said, "The empress has worked hard. The empress told me two days ago that the empress is doing things properly."I've been too busy these days, so I have time to see you.Do you still like what I gave to the queen?

Nala knows that the emperor will stay overnight in Baoyue Tower every few days, so her heart can't help feeling sour, but yesterday's festival rewards from the emperor, no matter the number or the degree of luxury, are all higher than Concubine Rong, she felt a little relieved, and said: Yes, thank you emperor.The emperor should keep his body tight, and it won't be too late to sit with his concubines when he is free.As for the affairs of the harem, there is also the Empress Dowager, who will be taken care of by concubines, so the emperor can rest assured.For the family banquet tonight, the courtiers and concubines have prepared everything for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the emperor will check to see if he is satisfied.The emperor said: Well, I can rest assured that you handle the matter.

The two chatted a few more gossips before the queen resigned and left.The emperor watched her leave, and snorted softly. Li Yu knew what the emperor was thinking, and said to himself: After so many years, the emperor still doesn't like this rightful lord.Quickly persuaded: The empress is also concerned about the emperor.The emperor snorted again, and said: She came to demonstrate against me because of Shen Bi. The empress is the lord of the six palaces. Is there only one concubine Rong in this palace?I don't know why, but the queen mother always says she is good.

Li Yudao: "The Empress Dowager takes care of the harem and devotes herself to it. The Empress Dowager loves her dearly, and that's what she should do."The emperor didn't say a word, just unfolded the picture scroll just now, looked at it again, and said to Li Yu: "You go and tell Wu Min, she's the only one. After teaching, send it to the Old Summer Palace. After a month, I want to see someone."Go to Baoyue Tower.Said and walked out.Li Yu was overjoyed and said: Yes.I hurriedly followed up.

When Nala returned to Chengqian Palace, Zhen'er took off her outer cloak and said: "Master, why are you making a trip?"You just left, Yuan Chunwang came in from the outside and said that he saw Concubine Rong going to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, did you see her?Nala sat down in the chair, and said in a leisurely manner: I see you.

While collecting her coat, Zhen'er said: "It's hard to leave a concubine Ling, and another concubine Rong from Baoyuelou."I think back then, when Concubine Ling was favored like that, master, once you make a move, you can't do it if you say no. The emperor put her in the cold palace and stayed in Yuanmingyuan for three years. The Queen Mother gave her to Master Fu Heng.As for the master of Baoyue Tower, the scenery is much better than that of the concubine Ling. The emperor specially built the Baoyue Tower for her in Huibu style, and let her live outside the palace. This is the first time that the Forbidden City has ever seen you. Yes, the slave really can't understand.

Nala said: "Concubine Ling, why is she doing it because of the trap I set for her.She has never had an emperor in her heart. When she and Fu Henglang were in love as a concubine, Fucha Rongyin was about to promise her to Fu Heng. She entered the palace to avenge Rongyin, and then went to Yuanmingyuan to wait for Fu Heng.When Fu Heng came back, Ben Gong fulfilled her.She didn't know, she thought it was the queen mother.Said with a sneer.Zhen'er said: "The servant has never understood, why do you want to help her?"You asked the queen mother to tell the emperor about Yuelu bosom friend being discarded by concubine Ling because you wanted the emperor to stop thinking about her.But the emperor has long since stopped thinking about her!

At this time Yuan Chunwang came in from the outside, clapped his hands and said: Master, your trick of counting birds with one stone is really brilliant!Nala smiled and said: Oh?Tell me, how can you count birds with one stone?Yuan Chunwang said: You know that the Queen Mother has always wanted to support Concubine Ling to fight against you. In the past three years, you have found out that the Queen Mother did harm Mrs. Qian, so you forced the Queen Mother to release Wei Yingluo from the Pope, but the Queen Mother still holds the handle. In your hands, even if she returns to the palace, you have nothing to fear.The emperor didn't know that it was you who sent Wei Yingluo away, your hands were clean.Regardless of whether the emperor still misses Wei Yingluo or not, she has left the emperor's side after all, and will never come back.How good are you!

When Zhen'er heard this, she was shocked. It turned out that the queen and the queen mother were still fighting secretly.Nala also clapped his hands lightly, and said: Director Yuan, I really saw the right person, you are also very powerful.

Yuan Chunwang hurriedly said: "How can a slave be as good as a master in case!"Turning to Zhen'er, she said: "Miss Zhen'er, the Empress ordered me to send someone to find evidence at the Lingfei's residence in the Yuanmingyuan. The people below said that the Qin was discarded, which shows that Wei Yingluo doesn't have the emperor in her heart at all, so I told you." Niangniang, Niangniang asked the queen mother to tell the emperor.Nalashi sneered and said: "If there is no waste, can't it be made waste?"

Yuan Chunwang said: Your Majesty is right, the servant thought at that time, Wei Yingluo is so cunning, if we can't find evidence, we will make one ourselves.Nala said: You and I both know that Wei Yingluo doesn't like the emperor at all, but there is no basis for the empty words, the Qin is the emperor's favorite thing, and it has fallen to this point, he should believe it.Speaking of which, Yuan Chunwang, you are the one who contributed to that incident.Zhen'er was confused by what the two said, and asked: Did Concubine Ling abandon the Qin?

Nala said, "That's right, it doesn't take much effort to get it."I just want the emperor to know that this woman doesn't have him in her heart.Wei Yingluo, not only has a strong temperament, but also disdains wealth and honor. What she is greedy for is Fu Heng's young, handsome literary talent and martial arts. Even if she wants glory and wealth, Fu Heng can give it to her. Fu Heng will not have the Sangong Sixth Court.Your Majesty, there are so many women, she is not indifferent.

Zhen'er opened her eyes wide and said, "You mean, Mr. Fu Heng won't marry a concubine?"How can this be!How many years ago, when Mr. Fu Heng was working as a guard in the palace, he was very popular. How many women wanted to marry him!It's even more important now, there must be as many women as half of the capital who want to enter the Fucha Mansion.With his status and status, the Fucha Mansion would not allow him to marry only one woman.

Nala said: Fu Heng is absolutely devoted to Wei Yingluo, and he was ordered to marry Xi Tara to save Wei Yingluo's life.There was also Su Jinghao back then, with such a pretty face, she was so infatuated with him that he didn't even look at her, poor thing, she still died for him.With Wei Yingluo's temper, she definitely couldn't let him marry a second woman.She avenged Rongyin's mother and son's downfall of Concubine Chun. She was the great benefactor of Fucha's family, so it was hard for Mrs. Fucha to say anything.Look, Wei Yingluo was born as a slave in clothes, and she is not easy to charm the Fucha siblings, including the emperor.Zhen'er said: "Then why don't you get rid of her directly?"Great opportunity over the past three years.

Nala said: Back then, the emperor didn't embarrass her about the Xitara family and the child-avoiding medicine. When did you see the emperor pampering a person like this, and she was a woman?Even if she went to Yuanmingyuan later, Fu Heng was the emperor's confidant for many years, Rong Yin's younger brother, who worked hard for the emperor in the front, and he had a deep affection for Wei Yingluo, if something happened to Wei Yingluo, it didn't matter whether the emperor still missed her or not , how does the emperor explain to Fu Heng?Then it must be investigated to the end, and the trouble will be big.Because of that bitch Erqing, Fucha Rongyin committed suicide by jumping off a building, the emperor has already owed the Fucha siblings a great deal.This is good, the emperor knows that Wei Yingluo doesn't love him, Fu Heng beat Junggar, and Wei Yingluo has a strong temper, the emperor can't force her, if he doesn't go up, it's better to treat her badly, and the queen mother is in charge, so it's better to go with the flow Give it to Fu Heng, and everyone will be happy.This is the real solution to the serious problem of the palace!

After hearing these words, Zhen'er cast herself down in admiration, and said with a smile: Master, no one in this palace is stronger than you, but the one in Baoyue Tower is so frivolous, I really can't stand it, what is the master going to do?Nala sneered and said: Don't worry, let's see how many days she can dance.Yuan Chunwang stood aside, didn't hear a single word about Baoyue Tower, only heard the two names of Wei Yingluo and Fu Heng together, his heart was like thousands of ants gnawing on him, this feeling made him breathless again Angry, with a gloomy face, he said: Master, you have made Wei Yingluo perfect, but she doesn't know, isn't your favor for nothing?

Nala said with a smile: What do you know, so what if she married Fu Heng?Once a concubine of the emperor, she couldn't see the light at all.Wei Yingluo, what a strong person, how painful it is in my heart, every time I think of this, I still feel wronged for her.Fu Heng, everything is good, perfect, but always having women with the emperor, first Erqing and then Wei Yingluo, it's so interesting!Wei Yingluo, it is of great use for me to keep her.Then, he closed his eyes and said: "I'm tired, let's pass on lunch."

Yuan Chunwang couldn't make sense of her last sentence, but he couldn't ask again, so he and Zhen'er withdrew.Zhen'er has been thinking about what the queen said about being "young and handsome", and sneaked a look at Yuan Chunwang, but he didn't realize it, as if he was thinking about something.So she blushed, and turned around awkwardly to pass the meal.Suddenly Yuan Chunwang said from behind: "Miss Zhen'er, the dress you are wearing today for the New Year is really beautiful!"

The author has something to say:

[Historical origin] The Ministry of Internal Affairs is a very large organization. In addition to managing palace affairs, it also has many, many responsibilities. search.The person in charge of the Sixth Palace should be called the Chief of the Respectful Office. There should be no such thing as the Chief of the Internal Affairs Office. The Internal Affairs Office is under the command of the Minister in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, and there is more than one Minister in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, because the House of Internal Affairs is divided into the House of Internal Affairs and its subordinates. There are more than 50 departments such as the Seventh Division and the Third Academy, and eunuchs cannot sit in this position.Therefore, the power of the queen of the Qing Dynasty was very small.

In the original play, it was simplified as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In my novel, I restored Wu Shulai and Yuan Chunwang as the head of the respect room, so that it is easier to arrange the plot.Today's Xinhua Gate is the site of Baoyue Tower, so Baoyue Tower is located in the west of the Forbidden City, next to the Forbidden City.Yuelu bosom friend was discarded is the plot in the original play, in the case of concubine Shun, she was brought back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
