Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

In the second half of the night, Queen Nala in the Forbidden City moved, and at noon the next day, the fifth daughter of the emperor was born.It's only ten days ahead of schedule, so it's still a full month.This is her third child, and the delivery process was fast and smooth. The hospital finally breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone's heads were saved.Chengqian Palace was full of joy, but Nala was naturally disappointed in her heart. She remembered that year when she followed the emperor to Mulan Qiuxi, and she was pregnant with twelve elder brothers on the way. It takes a long time to look at an old clothes.

Yuan Chunwang and Zhen'er understood her thoughts and discussed quietly in the room.Zhen'er said: "The empress and the twelve elder brothers, why bother?"Yuan Chunwang smiled and said: She should do it for Wei Yingluo, she just gave birth to a son.Zhen'er shook her head and said: "That's not the emperor's son, what does it have to do with the empress."Yuan Chunwang smiled again, then heaved a sigh of relief, and said: Who knows what you women are thinking.Zhen'er said: "Your Majesty, it must be because of the nobleman Wei. Before the emperor went to Rehe, he sent someone back to tell the nobleman Wei about her pregnancy. My Majesty was worried that she would give birth to a son."

Yuan Chunwang snorted and said, "Didn't we send someone to inquire about her, saying that she is the same as the empress, there is no movement, she is probably also a daughter."Zhen'er said: "That's not good. When the empress gave birth to the first two elder brothers, there was no movement. I think that if the empress is in good health, then Mrs. Wei is also in good health.Yuan Chunwang said: "The people who came back said that she is not very strong.

Zhen'er was busy praying, chanting words.Yuan Chunwang said: What are you talking about?Zhen'er looked around and said in a low voice: I hope that Wei Guiren will have a daughter too.Disdainful in Yuan Chunwang's heart, he shook his head and said: The emperor will not arrive at Yuanmingyuan for at least half a month. I don't know if he will return to the palace this year.Zhen'er was surprised and said: "Not going back to the palace?"The emperor spent the winter in the Old Summer Palace?never had.Yuan Chunwang said: "I'm afraid it's hard to say this year, the nobleman Wei will have a baby in winter, or we can move her back to the palace together, but when the emperor comes back, it's not easy to move."Zhen'er smiled and said: She was originally a court lady, but now she is just a noble person, so the emperor will not take it to heart.

Yuan Chunwang said: "From a woman's point of view, she is a noble person, but look now, who in the whole palace has the flesh and blood of the emperor?"Concubine Rong, whom he favored the most, has never had a child, Concubine Shu's belly is not up to par, she gave birth to one and has yet to support her, and the empress gave birth to Gege.Can he not care?Now, his grand plan has been realized, and his achievements for thousands of years are comparable to that of the holy ancestor. What is the most important thing?Isn't it the emperor's heir, Huahua Jiangshan needs successors, for generations to come.It's just that he doesn't care, can the Queen Mother not care?After finishing speaking, he sneered in his heart.Zhen'er said disapprovingly: The emperor already has so many sons, besides, there are still so many people in the harem, only three were selected this year.

Yuan Chunwang said: "Those three hairy children, the emperor can't bear to look down on them."Zhen'er said: "If there is anything to see, as long as you have a family background and can have children."Yuan Chunwang said: Our emperor is not what you think. You see, he only grows old with one person, and don't you say that he has no shortage of children.Zhen'er resentfully said: That's why I said that Mrs. Wei is not a big deal. Madam, she just has a heavy heart, Concubine Rong has no children, this one, so what if she gave birth to a son, how many older brothers are there.You too, think too much.Yuan Chunwang smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I don't want to, what does they have to do with us, right?"Jane looked at him and smiled.

Zhen'er hugs Fulong'an all day long, more than the wet nurse.Yingluo smiled and said to Fu Heng: At that time, I advised her to get married and have a child, but she refused, do you regret it now?Fu Heng was reading the brochure, shook his head, and said with a smile: You are the editor, I think she likes Long Er, and treats you well.Yingluo smiled triumphantly, and said: That is, you don't know, she and Xiaoquanzi are very good, she is suitable to be a sister, but she can love others, and Xiaoquanzi treats her very well.

Fu Heng then pinched her face and said with a smile: It's our Yingluo's credit.Yingluo thought about it for a while, and said: So Long'er will be taken by her, I don't worry!Fu Hengdao: The wet nurse chosen by the second sister-in-law is also very good.Yingluo said: Only when Pearl looks at me can I feel relieved.Fu Heng knew that she was preoccupied, so he shook his head and continued to read the scriptures.Yingluo said again: The queen gave birth to a daughter, I am worried about this nobleman Wei again, before the emperor comes back, I will go see her again and talk to her.Fu Heng asked: Do you want my help?Yingluo said: "No, you are busy, I will let Concubine Qing make arrangements."

Two days later, Yingluo and Wei Mei met again at the Xinghuachun Pavilion.Concubine Qing brought the two of them into the inner room, then she smiled at Wei Mei and said, "Talk to Madam Nalan, I will take Pearl to see An'er, he kicked the quilt last night and caught a little cold."He said and took it to the door.

Wei Mei felt very strange in her heart. The last time she saw Mrs. Nalan, she felt that she was quite unusual. Concubine Qing was the owner of the Xinghuachun Pavilion, but she didn't seem like a guest, and Concubine Qing didn't care at all. care.This Mrs. Nalan is close to her, but she is not very polite. She is not like an ordinary married woman.But then I thought again: she is the wife of Mr. Fu Heng. Mr. Fu Heng is not only the emperor's brother-in-law, but also the emperor's brother-in-law, so she is the emperor's younger brother and sister. Naturally, the emperor's relatives are different, and Mr. Fu Heng is the emperor's confidant , their family lives in the Chunhe Garden next to the Old Summer Palace, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, who has such treatment?Not to mention that she just gave birth to a son named by the emperor for the Fucha family.As for this noble man, he is said to be the master, but in fact he is nothing in the palace, so he is relieved.Concubine Qing just left, obviously she wanted to see him.I just don't know what she wants to see me for.

Just thinking about it, Ying Luo smiled and said: How are you?How is the child?I just feel that I am very close to you, and it is not easy to think of you alone, so I came to see you.Wei Mei hurriedly said: Don't dare Mrs. Launeran miss you, we are fine.Yingluo said, "I heard from Fu Heng that the emperor has left Chahar, but many people are walking slowly, and he will not be able to return until the fifteenth of this month. You will give birth soon, and the emperor will be here. I am happy for you."Seeing the sincerity of what she said, Wei Mei was a little moved, and said, "Thank you Madam, in fact, it doesn't make any difference whether the emperor is there or not."

Yingluo said: The emperor is too busy. When I was pregnant with Long'er, Fu Heng was away for several months. They were very busy.Seeing that what she said was very similar to what Concubine Rong said, Wei Mei understood that what she said was the truth, but it was also a kindness to comfort herself, and said, "Yes, I understand. Madam has thought too much. Wei Mei has no other meaning. I'm fine, Wei Mei has nothing to complain about.Yingluo nodded, and said: I heard from Empress Qing that you play chess very well.Wei Mei hurriedly said: But I only played with Sister Qing, so I can't say it was very good.

Ying Luo nodded again, and said with a smile: Do you know?The emperor used to have a favorite concubine, she played chess very well, the emperor liked it very much.Wei Mei looked at her in surprise, and Yingluo also looked at her with a smile.After a while, Wei Mei said: Mrs. Nalan, Wei Mei doesn't understand many things, so I made you laugh.What do you want to say, you might as well say it directly.Yingluo glanced at her stomach, and said, "You love your child, right?"Seeing that what she said was the same as Li's, Wei Mei nodded and said, "He belongs to Wei Mei."

Yingluo said: Well, I am also a mother, I understand.Wei Mei smiled and said, "What's the matter with Madam, Mr. Fu Heng loves Madam very much.Yingluo looked at her, and understood that it was because she heard that Fu Heng didn't take concubines, concubine Qing must have told her, and she herself was just a nobleman of the emperor, so she smiled and said: Thank you.You can also make the emperor love you.Wei Mei shook her head and said: Wei Mei is self-aware, Your Majesty, what he likes is Concubine Rong, and Concubine Rong is such a beautiful and gentle person.Yingluo laughed and said: I'm not saying that you can replace Concubine Rong, I mean that you can make the emperor love you, it has nothing to do with others.

Wei Mei looked at her puzzled.Yingluo said: The emperor has so many women, Concubine Rong is very favored, but the emperor also has the empress, concubine Shu, concubine Qing, and many others.After the emperor Qiuwei came back, the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother wanted Nagege, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was handling the matter. After that, Concubine Qing would be proclaimed Concubine Qing.Wei Mei was very surprised.Yingluo said: What's the matter?Do you think that concubine Qing should not be concubine Jin?Wei Mei hurriedly said: No, no, madam, why do you...

Yingluo laughed and said: Why do I know so much?Wei Mei hurriedly said: No, no, Mr. Fu Heng is an important minister of the emperor, and he is also in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is not surprising that Madam knows, but Wei Mei just thinks why you are telling me this.Yingluo smiled and said: I didn't say that, because I think I hit it off with you.Don't think too much, just listen to me.I know you want the emperor to love you, but you feel that you are not good enough, and he has so many women who are stronger than you, right?

Wei Mei nodded.Yingluo said: Your majesty...he won't only value appearance, or family background, otherwise you wouldn't be able to enter the palace, right?Wei Mei thought for a while, then nodded again.Yingluo said again: But you must let the emperor see you, he can't see you now that you are like this.You have to let the emperor see you first, and then you have to let him see you all the time.If he can see you all the time, he will always be with you, and the two of you will have feelings. The emperor is a person who attaches great importance to feelings.Wei Mei looked at her in surprise.Yingluo smiled and said: Am I wrong?If you think about the former queen, how much the emperor has feelings for her, the whole world knows, right?

Wei Mei nodded emphatically.Yingluo sighed, and said: The Empress Empress is also a very beautiful person, she is not as beautiful as Concubine Rong, but the Changchun Palace where she lives has remained the same for so many years, this is the emperor's heart for her.Seeing that Yingluo seems to be fascinated by Wei Mei, she also becomes fascinated by it. The former empress Rongyin has always been the person she admires very much in her heart, and she admires the emperor's affection for the former empress even more.Yingluo came back to her senses and said: I mean, the emperor values ​​feelings, so you have to let the emperor have feelings for you.

Wei Mei said: But he doesn't even go to my place.Yingluo said: "That's because you have a child now, and he is not familiar with you. After Qiuwei comes back, he will definitely come to see you. You must seize the opportunity and let him see you, your piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings."Isn't that what the emperor asked someone to teach you?You think about it, right?Wei Mei suddenly realized, and said: I understand, madam, thank you.As he said that, he stood up and bowed to Yingluo.Yingluo smiled, held up her elbow, and said: Don't be so polite, the emperor is Fu Heng and my brother-in-law, the former empress is our sister, we are for the emperor.

Naturally, Wei Mei didn't understand this sentence, but she didn't ask Yingluo when she saw that Yingluo didn't continue.I only heard Yingluo say: Concubine Rong is a Huiren, which is different from you. Whether you have her or not, it will not affect you.She...wouldn't mind you either.Talking and laughing.Wei Mei couldn't understand this sentence even more, and said: Concubine Rong treats people well, but there are too many people who want to get close to her, and she doesn't care about Wei Mei.After hearing this, Yingluo recalled what Concubine Rong said to herself about Wei Mei, and said in her mouth: If you go to her often, she will get close to you, and you should listen to what she says, she is very kind.Wei Mei nodded.

Wei Mei asked again: What kind of person is the empress in the palace?I heard she was also very kind.Yingluo thought, this is what Concubine Qing said again, and then said: She is the empress, the lord of the six palaces, and also the emperor's old man.Speaking of this, he glanced at Wei Mei's belly again, and said: You and she both have the emperor's child, and she gave birth to Wugege.Seeing that her tone was different when she said this, Wei Mei was taken aback, and suddenly understood something, and said: I think mine is also a daughter.

Yingluo said: "Whether it's a boy or a girl, they are the emperor's flesh and blood. You should cherish this child well."Before the emperor, several elder brothers and princesses died young, and the emperor was very sad.Wei Mei was even more surprised when she heard this, and said: I have heard about the second elder brother and the seventh elder brother.Yingluo nodded, didn't continue, and changed her words: Since you have entered the palace, you must be careful. For you and your child, the emperor can protect you the most, but you must be careful when speaking in front of the emperor.

Wei Mei suddenly remembered what Yi Lu had said, and recalled the scene of her first meeting with the emperor, she was startled, nodded solemnly, and said: Listening to Mrs. Nalan's words is better than studying for ten years. I think it's repayment, if Wei Mei really wins the favor of the emperor in the future, he will never forget today.Wei Mei will never tell anyone what happened today.Yingluo smiled and said: I'm not afraid of anything, and I don't want you to reciprocate, you have to be careful for yourself and your child.Say goodbye.Naturally, Wei Mei still didn't understand what she meant, so she hurriedly said: Ma'am, Wei Mei wants to ask Madam for advice from time to time, but Madam...

Yingluo said: "The harem and foreign ministers are not allowed to come and go, you have to remember, if you really need to find me, you can ask Concubine Qing to send a message, and I will receive it."Wei Mei didn't know what the relationship between Yingluo and Concubine Qing was, but she understood that it was because of Fu Kang'an, and hurriedly said: Yes, Wei Mei understands.Yingluo looked at her again and smiled, and said: You are a smart person, I believe the emperor will see you.Said and went to open the door.Wei Mei stared blankly at her back, her heart was as cold as a divine enlightenment, and as hot as blood boiling.

After Wei Mei came out, seeing her expression, Concubine Qing comforted her and said, "Don't take what Mrs. Nalan said too seriously, she... said with a slight smile, and said: "Although I don't know what she said to you , but she will never harm you, don't worry.Wei Mei nodded, and said: She is a very good person, Mrs. Fu Heng is very blessed, and the Queen Mother has such a good sister-in-law, so she is relieved.Then he turned to Concubine Qing and said: Congratulations to my sister for becoming a concubine. This is really a reward for a good man. The emperor values ​​his sister.

Concubine Qing was very surprised that Yingluo would tell her this, after thinking about it, she understood, so she said: Thank you.You see, my sister can't even compare to you, you still have the flesh and blood of the emperor, so don't be discouraged.Wei Mei was very moved, and couldn't help sobbing: "Sister, you are too serious. You and Mrs. Nalan are too kind to me. How can Wei Mei be so good... Concubine Qing came up to hold her, and said: You and I are both servants." For the emperor, everyone should live in harmony and serve the emperor well. Mrs. Nalan, she... and Lord Fu Heng will also serve the emperor well.
