Father and Son Forbidden to Return the Pearl

Concubine Wan, no, Concubine Wan's insanity has a lot to do with Qianlong. If Qianlong could punish Little Yanzi from the beginning and come to comfort her from time to time, then she wouldn't go crazy!It's just that Qianlong disappeared after Concubine Wan's miscarriage, and her biggest enemy, Xiao Yanzi, was fine except that she couldn't come out.The pain of losing a child, the despair of the rest of his life, the resentment towards Little Swallow, plus the fear that the emperor may no longer love him.All these negative emotions mixed together are enough to drive a normal person crazy.

Maybe Qianlong also realized this, and felt a little guilty, so he promoted Concubine Wan to the throne.However, Concubine Wan said that she was going to poison Yongzheng to death, which made him extremely displeased—even though Concubine Wan was already crazy at that time.

Forget it, these days, give her some glory first, and let her go to the cold palace after returning to the palace.Qianlong drank Longjing tea in a leisurely manner, thinking without guilt—hmph!How dare you think of hurting Yongzheng?If it weren't for the sake of your madness, I would never forgive you!

Gao Wuyong got Qianlong's order, and secretly sent someone to put abortion medicine in the food of the little swallow. At the second hour of the abortion, a group of eunuchs and guards ignored the roar of the fifth elder brother and forcibly dragged the little swallow ashore. In the name of not treating the emperor's heir kindly, she was severely punished fifty times.

However, with the fifth brother jumping around and staring at him, the guards didn't dare to hit too hard—the elder brother is not bigger than Ge Ge, who knows if the feng shui will turn around?If the fifth elder brother gains power one day in the future, they will be in great trouble.

Little Yanzi's body is indeed comparable to that of Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death. Just after a miscarriage, she went down [-] strokes. Not to mention she was dead, she didn't even pass out, and she was still lying on the ground full of anger and screaming in pain.

After staying in Hangzhou for more than three months, Qianlong and the queen mother drove back to Beijing and returned to the capital by land.

It's just that Qianlong had no interest in Xia Yingying in this life, and it was impossible for Xia Yingying to bid farewell by sitting on the side of the road playing the piano like in her previous life.

In this trip to Hangzhou, Xia Yingying was just a minor supporting role.

Haining Chen family has hairpin tassels from generation to generation, and the family name is so prosperous that it is unparalleled in the country.From the entry of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty to the Qianlong Dynasty, for more than 11 years, there were more than 5000 Jinshi, three of them were Zaifu, and [-] officials from officials to ministers, ministers, governors and envoys.In China's nearly [-]-year history, there is no aristocratic family that can compare with the Haining Chen family.

Especially in the two dynasties of Kangxi and Yongzheng, the Chen family in Haining had an unrivaled popularity. Even the nobles of the Eight Banners would be inferior.

Although there are still many officials in the Chen family in Haining, compared with the previous two dynasties, the influence is already one in the sky and the other in the underground.

Qianlong's holy driver passed by Haining when he returned to Beijing, and Haining didn't have a palace, so he lived in the Chen family's mansion as a matter of course.

Although the current head of the Chen family, Chen Bangzhi, is old, he is still extremely favored by Qianlong, which is why the prestige of the Chen family in Haining remains the same as before.

Chen Bangzhi has no sons, only four beautiful daughters.It's just that no matter how good a woman is, she cannot be an official in the court.Therefore, in order to continue the prosperity of the Chen family in Haining, his four daughters must marry into the royal family and use the prestige of the royal family to maintain the prosperity of their Chen family in Haining.

In the middle of the night, Chen Bang leaned against the head of the bed, meditating silently.

His eldest daughter, Chen Zhiqin, is already old, and she is considered an old lady. Of the elder brothers who came this time, only the fifth elder brother is older than her, but as far as he knows, the fifth elder brother has fallen out of favor with Sacred Heart, and there is almost no hope of recovery. .Even if Zhiqin could marry him, but judging by the way he dotes on that court lady, marrying him would be nothing more than suffering.

The second daughter, Chen Zhiqi, is 17 years old, half a year younger than the sixth elder brother.Although the Sixth Brother said that the favor was not strong, he did not fall out of favor. Although it was almost impossible to ascend the throne, the new emperor should at least be a county king when he ascended the throne in the future.

The third daughter, Chen Zhishu, is 16 years old. Although she is more than a month older than the eighth elder brother, it doesn't matter.

It's just that the youngest daughter, Chen Zhihua... Chen Bangzhi frowned with some annoyance.Not only is she proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is also more beautiful than her three older sisters, and she is also her only legitimate daughter. I also cultivated her according to the goal of the imperial concubine.

But now the Twelve Elder Brothers who are deeply favored are only 11 years old, four years younger than Zhi Hua...

"Master, why are you still awake?" Chen Bangzhi's wife opened her eyes sleepily, and said something strange.

"I'm worrying about Zhihua's marriage." Chen Bangzhi sighed, "Zhihua is 15 years old, it stands to reason that he should get married..."

"That's right..." Madam also sat up, frowning slightly: "In Haining, there is no one who is worthy of Zhihua. Most of the young talents are in the capital, but the capital is too far away... "

"Ma'am, I want to marry Zhihua to Elder Brother Twelve." After a long time, Chen Bangzhi said calmly.

"Are you crazy?" Madam's eyes widened in astonishment: "Brother Twelve is only 11 years old this year, okay! Besides, he is an elder brother!"

"Ma'am." Chen Bangzhi said in a deep voice: "The Chen family has begun to decline. If the prosperity of the Chen family is to continue, there must be a daughter of the Chen family who is directly related to marry the current emperor, or the future new emperor." For the concubine."

"But your majesty is in the prime of his life, why are you..."

"If our daughter can marry the emperor as a concubine, it would be great to give birth to a little elder brother. However, the water in the harem is too deep. If our daughter enters, it may not be long before she dies. Moreover, although the current The emperor still favors the Chen family, but it’s hard to tell the future new emperor.” Chen Bangzhi sighed softly: “So, I must find a way to give a daughter to the future emperor. Twelve elder brothers are still young. , if you give Zhihua to him, then Zhihua is likely to be his first woman. Every man has more or less true feelings for his first woman, and that woman also has feelings for that man. It will have some influence."

"...Then how do you know Elder Brother Twelve is the future emperor?" Madam bit her lips in fear, talking about royal affairs indiscriminately, that would kill her head!

"The twelfth elder brother is extremely intelligent, won the holy favor, and is the only son of the emperor, so his succession is justified." Chen Bang said confidently: "I don't know how many times stronger than the fifth elder brother who is a little smart and thinks he is invincible. Moreover, besides the fifth elder brother who has lost his favor, only the twelfth elder brother is of pure Manchu blood. Even if he is not favored, he is more likely to succeed to the throne than other Han blood Brothers are much bigger."

"However, Zhihua is so much older than Twelve Elder Brothers. If you give Zhihua to Twelfth Elder Brothers, what will they do? We can't force it!" Madam is still very worried: "And what about others? Elder Brother can still say that Zhihua has taken a fancy to them, but Elder Brother Twelve is so young..."

Chen Bangzhi sighed softly, with an indescribable firmness in his tone: "The emperor will stay at our house for three or four days at most, and these few days are our only chance. Otherwise, our Chen family will have nothing to do with it." It's really about to fall..."

A trace of sadness flashed in Chen Bangzhi's eyes. In order for his family to continue to be strong, no matter what, he had to give his daughter to the princes.

Yong Xing was drinking tea one after another, thinking about Chen Zhihua that he saw during the day.Sure enough, many things have changed in this life. In the previous life, Prince Rong, who gave birth to the only heir of the fifth elder brother, Fu Jin, was not only two years younger than the previous life, but even his appearance was completely different from the previous life.

In his previous life, he had nothing to do with this tragic woman, but when he passed by Jingyang Palace occasionally, he saw her standing at the door holding the little Mianyi and weeping.

Chen Zhihua, this poor woman, she will never marry the Fifth Elder Brother again in this life, right?

Looking at the twinkling stars outside the window, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Yong Xin's lips, how could he have the right to say that others are pitiful?In his previous life, he was many times more pitiful than Chen Zhihua.At any rate, she still has a child, but she has lost all children and grandchildren!

"Master, it's getting late, should you go to bed?" Xiao Linzi stood behind Yongzheng, and said anxiously: "Tomorrow morning, I have to greet Lafayette and the Emperor!"

"I can't sleep." Yong Xin pursed his lips and waved his hand to signal Xiao Linzi to go out: "You go out first." For this personal eunuch who has followed him to the end and never left him, Yong Xin's attitude towards him is always the same. It was subconsciously a little more tolerant and gentle.

"But, master..." Xiao Linzi became anxious, master had finally regained his favor now, if he was late tomorrow, what would Long live master do if he was angry with him?

"Go down!" Yong Xin was inexplicably upset for a while, and his tone became slightly heavier.

"...Hey!" Xiao Linzi retreated reluctantly.

In a small room, a woman with disheveled hair and sunken eyes was lying on the bed, gently stroking her belly with one hand, her eyes were gentle, and she murmured in her mouth not knowing what she was talking about.

Xiaohuan stood aside, looking pitifully.The concubine who was once so beautiful!So what if he was promoted to Concubine Wan?After returning to the palace, wouldn't she still be unable to escape the fate of being thrown into the cold palace?Even if she recovers in the future, she can only live alone in the cold palace for the rest of her life.But this is also very good, I no longer have to worry about the lives of my family members all day long.

The next day, Qianlong and the Queen Mother looked at Chen Bangzhi's four beautiful and gentle daughters with admiration in their eyes.

"Your Majesty, I didn't have time to introduce you yesterday. This is the eldest daughter Chen Zhiqin, the second daughter Chen Zhiqi, the third daughter Chen Zhishu, and the fourth daughter Chen Zhihua." Chen Bangzhi smiled respectfully.

"Oh? Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? What a good name!" Qianlong laughed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment!" Chen Bang bowed his body, and his tone was full of indescribable pride and pride: "Your Majesty, I am not boasting, but my four daughters are not only outstanding in appearance, but also in talent and talent that are never inferior to men! "

Chen Bangzhi had made friends with Qianlong when he was still Prince Bao, so his tone was a little more casual than other trembling ministers.

"Really? Are they all proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the Four Books and Five Classics?" Qianlong raised his eyebrows casually. Even so, so what?No matter how good a woman is, she cannot be an official worshiper, let alone contribute to the country. At best, she can be a noble lady.

"Although Chen's first three daughters have dabbled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, they are only proficient in the last word in their names. However, the youngest daughter of the minister, Zhihua, is proficient in everything. Not only that, "Female She is very proficient in "The Rules", "The Commandments for Women", the Four Books and Five Classics, etc. Last year, she competed with dozens of talented scholars in Haining and won a complete victory." Chen Bangzhi could not conceal his love and pride in his eyes.

"Oh?" Qianlong looked at Chen Zhihua carefully. The 15-year-old girl has a beautiful appearance, without the boldness of a Manchu daughter, but with the tranquility and bookishness of a Han woman.Standing there slim and graceful, like a quiet and graceful white lotus.

Chen Zhiqin lowered her eyes, eyes full of jealousy.Isn't it because Zhihua is a legitimate daughter that Dad put so much effort into raising her?If daddy can cultivate himself like that, then his current achievements will definitely be greater than Zhihua!

Chen Zhiqin knew what her father was thinking, and because she wanted to dedicate a few of her to the prince, she rejected so many people's marriage proposals, resulting in her own death and being alone.And she also knows that her current age is the most embarrassing.Except for the flamboyant fifth elder brother, no elder brother can match her age.Unless she can go to Beijing with the queen mother and be favored by the third elder brother or the fourth elder brother, so that she can...——
