Scarlet Fang of the Pearl

Everyone was quite satisfied with this dinner at the Compassionate Ning Palace, but the empress was a little bit sour.After they dispersed, the little bun was taken away by Hong Zhou, and Qianlong went to Kunning Palace with the empress. This was an unexpected joy for the empress, and the bitterness in his heart just now faded away. At least, after all, her heartache is only because Qianlong is too indifferent to her little Twelve, and she, a mother who loves the children from outside so much, is naturally unbalanced.But when she thought of the child's small face similar to Qianlong's, she could only shake her head and say, "No wonder there's nothing I can do about it.This is in an ordinary family, as a father, you can't help but like to be more like your own son.Thinking of what Rong Momo persuaded her before, no matter what, she still has Xiao Shier to take care of... Suppressing her own sadness, she weighed the pros and cons of this matter, and finally smiled and listened to Qianlong discussing Xiao Baozi with her As for the matter of entering the palace, after all, the queen has the final say in the harem.Even if Concubine Ling holds the phoenix seal now, what she passed on is not a decree.

The Queen's attitude was so good today, which made Qianlong feel a little strange.Usually, if you want to tell her these things, doesn't she always keep a straight face, and then keep telling her harsh words?Why today... But since the queen doesn't touch him, he naturally won't ask for trouble.Qianlong discussed with the queen a few more words, and when he saw the small cakes on the table, he suddenly thought, "Queen, how is Yongzhen doing recently? After all, he is a legitimate son, so you should teach him well." Qianlong originally wanted to make Xiao Twelve I called over to take a look, but it's getting late now, so forget it.

When Xiao Twelve was mentioned, the empress was happy, "Yes, the concubine will definitely teach me well." She had no hope for the emperor's favor, and now she was only doing it for her own son. There is no good end!

The two emperors and empresses spent the night respecting each other like guests. After Qianlong left the next day, Rong Meme came in and sighed when he saw the empress who had not changed.But I still asked what happened yesterday.The queen thought about it for a while, and then she told Rong Mo about it. Anyway, the emperor had to tell the ministers about it, so there was nothing to keep secret.

Hearing that, he looked at the empress, sent the servant maid to have a look at the breakfast, and said to the empress in a low voice: "Empress empress, the maidservant came here with you as a dowry, and I understand it after all these years. I know that you feel sad for the emperor's preference for that foreign child, but this matter will benefit us in the long run. The emperor is already like this with you. Isn't everything we do in the future for the twelve elder brothers? The emperor now loves five Elder brother, this is not a good thing. The fifth elder brother is qualified to inherit. Since ancient times, the son who can't get to that position has never ended well! Looking at the emperor now, he likes that foreign child more than the fifth elder brother. More importantly, he has no inheritance qualifications and is not an ordinary illegitimate child. His status is strong enough. You have a legitimate son by your side. Now that he has entered the palace, it is not us who should be anxious, but those who are thoughtful! Anyway, the child has no Mother, if we pull him here, won't we just be able to share the favor of those people? And the emperor likes him so much, maybe we can take the twelve princes to the emperor to have a look, after all, where is the child's total score when he enters the palace? Next, the concubine. Since the child's status is high, and the slaves are watching, the emperor probably wants to put him here. After all, even if the emperor wants to let him go to the concubine Ling, how can the concubine Ling's background be worthy of being a slave? The identity of a superior family! Didn’t you say that the child also grew up in the royal family? Then he must have received a good education, and it’s good to be simple. We are not afraid that he will spoil the twelve elder brothers, right? He took care of him well, wouldn't he be the same as Prince He today? What's more, he has inherited her mother's title, so he might be a powerful foreign aid in the future!"

Listening to Rong Momo's analysis, the queen nodded from time to time, and secretly made a decision, this woman in the deep palace, everything is for her son...

The queen was dealt with by Rong Momo, and Qianlong also dealt with his group of ministers on the other side.So it is good to say that dictatorship is good, Qianlong is arbitrary, and some people wanted to say a few words, but after hearing it, hey, there is no right of inheritance, and it has nothing to do with the reserve position, so I just follow the emperor's mind.Anyway, there is no interest relationship, why not follow the emperor's wishes!The main worry in the future is how to announce this matter to the world. After all, such a big kid doesn't just jump out of it!The courtiers helped Qianlong think for a long time, and finally Ji Xiaolan knew the reason and thought of the most suitable explanation.

What the people learned was that the emperor had adopted a British princess in the early years, and the two hit it off and wanted to become a formal concubine, but they didn't know that the British princess would also inherit the title, and the two finally separated due to political reasons.The unborn prince will also stay in England to inherit his mother's title. Now that his mother has died of illness, the prince will return to Beijing as a matter of course.

This article seems reasonable, but I don’t know if it is reasonable or not. The sudden return of the prince and the hidden truth of the year have been raised to a political level, so no one dares to talk about it.After all, it is good to look at the affairs of the royal family, but there are some things that you should not look at or talk about. If you read it and talk about it, you will lose your head.The literary inquisition in the Qing Dynasty was the most severe, and a single political reason eliminated the turmoil invisible.For this, Qianlong greatly appreciated Ji Xiaolan.And secretly sighed, these high-sounding things or Hanchen's brain is turning fast... I don't know what Ji Xiaolan will look like if he knows Qianlong's evaluation...

The next step is to follow the formal procedure. Qianlong named Yongyan in public at the official dinner of the Queen Mother's return to the palace. He was born in the 11th year of Qianlong, so he ranked ninth. butterfly.Since then, history has begun to turn in a strange direction...

This was the first time Xiao Baozi officially appeared in front of everyone.Solant's little bun is not good at history, he only knows that the next emperor is Jiaqing, who is ranked fifteenth, but he doesn't know what his name is, so he is not surprised to hear this name.The concubine of the Baiguan was surprised when she saw the queen mother personally leading the little bun of Solante out. She didn't expect that the new prince would already be so favored by the Lafayette within a few days. After seeing the little bun's face, some old officials There was a look of relief on his face.As soon as I told the people next to me, it spread.

This is due to the lack of inheritance rights, so the emperor spoiled the little bun and the queen mother. Anyway, the queen mother also loves her grandson, so she usually has to take care of it, but this time there is no need to worry about it, right?Pulling Xiao Baozi and sitting beside him, because of Xiao Baozi's special status, Qianlong had already sent a letter to England, and the reply there also said that the British royal family knew about Xiao Baozi's background, since Xiao Baozi found it here Father, father is still the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, so they have no objection.But Xiao Baozi is the Duke of England after all, I hope the Qing Emperor can teach him well, as a respected Duke, he still has his own territory to manage.Since he stayed in the Qing Dynasty, although his descendants can still inherit his title, the fief cannot.

At the moment, there is a lot of trouble in the UK because of the instability of the reserve position. They don't have the heart to pay attention to Solant, who has no inheritance rights. Moreover, the Qing Dynasty is rich and powerful, and their internal political situation is unstable. They really don't want to because This is against the Qing emperor.

Sitting next to the queen mother, the old lady like the queen mother is no different from ordinary old ladies in pampering her grandson, and even more so because of the rare opportunity like the royal family.The concubines below are all winking, since the favored one is not threatening, how can they not rush to flatter her?

After the official banquet is over, the royal family will have an internal family banquet.The rules of the family banquet are not so big, the emperor, the empress dowager and several high-ranking concubines sit at one table, and some less favored ones sit at another table, and the princes and princesses each open a table.The little bun was brought by Qianlong himself, and Qianlong took the little bun who had just woken up and was still arguing with him and sat on the chairman's chair.After a while, the Empress Dowager came with Hong Zhou and the Empress, and immediately became dissatisfied when she saw the Emperor teasing Xiao Baozi alone.Everyone was waiting for the empress dowager to reprimand, but who knew that the empress dowager was unhappy with the emperor, "I said the emperor, why did you put Yongyan on that side? Hurry up, Yongyan comes to Huang Mama's side. Emperor, you can't bear it , let's let Yongyan sit in the middle." Hey, the old lady is jealous of Qianlong's grandson...

As soon as the little bun saw that the queen mother was coming, he slipped away from Qianlong's hand in surprise, and hid behind the queen mother, "Huang Mama, Huang Ama bullied me..." Qianlong liked to tease the little bun when he was free, always relying on These empress dowagers are no stranger to bullying Xiao Baozi with his long hands and feet.

He glared at his smug son angrily, "The emperor is so grown up, he still bullies children like this!" Turning his head and coaxing the little bun again, he said, "Don't be angry, Yongyan, Huang Mama, help you bully the emperor!" Ma!" As he said, he took a piece of delicate pastry and stuffed it into Xiao Baozi's hand, and happened to see Xiao Baozi secretly making faces at Qianlong, which made Qianlong want to pinch him.However, Qianlong missed Hong Zhou who was next to the Queen Mother, "You bad boy, you did it quietly again, didn't you?" When the little bun saw Hong Zhou coming, he stuck out his tongue at him again and sat down with Qianlong and the Queen Mother. Went in the middle.

After a while, the little bun covered his stomach and tugged at the queen mother and then at Qianlong, "Huang Mama, Huang Ama, when can we eat?" Qianlong scratched his little nose, "In a while, everyone is here!" You can eat it."

The queen mother heard her grandson shouting that she was hungry, so she first put the crispy chicken into a small steamed bun bowl, "Children can't help being hungry, come and eat something to pad their stomachs." After speaking, the queen mother looked at the table again, and it was all that should come. It's coming, it's getting late, it seems that there are two seats vacant on the elder brother's seat and the Gege seat, the queen mother frowned immediately, "These two seats are empty, who hasn't arrived?"

The concubine Ling was in charge of this family banquet, and concubine Ling turned her head to look at it, her heart skipped a beat...
