Guoluo Luo's in the Qing Dynasty

The empress dowager's illness is not serious, but the old man was unable to withstand the cold wind and got a cough. After taking the medicine, he has recovered a lot.The noble concubine held the medicine and fed it to the empress dowager spoon by spoon. Wanzhao felt that drinking the medicine like this was going to paralyze people's tongue with bitterness.

Seeing that the imperial concubine had finished feeding the medicine, Wan Zhao quickly picked up the peanut crisps on the table and handed them over, saying, "Empress Dowager, eat some crispy candies to suppress the bitter taste in your mouth."

"I have heard from the emperor that the peanut cakes in your palace are the most delicious, and I have tasted them this time." The empress dowager smiled after taking a bite of the sweet crispy candies, "In the past, the people around the Ai family never let me eat more. Eat, this time I tasted it."

"If the Empress Dowager likes it, I will ask someone to prepare it and bring it to you every day." Wan Zhao said with a smile, "But the servant is afraid that the emperor will blame the servant if he finds out."

"It's enough for the Ai family to protect you." The empress dowager did not wear a phoenix crown with flowers and tinsel, only a gold inlaid red agate wiping her forehead and fixing her hair in a bun.The black hair on her head has all turned into snow-white, and the colors are distinct one by one, "You were sick before, and that child Jingyi cried and begged Ai's family to let her live in the palace to take care of your illness, but Ai's family always wanted to help you." She didn't agree because she was holding the child in her belly, and I don't know if Jingyi will hate Aijia."

"The empress dowager is thinking about her body, why would she hate you?" Wanzhao comforted, "Even if Jingyi is going to give birth, when the time comes, the empress dowager can pass on her confinement. Come in and talk. Our Eldest Princess and Elder Brother are also in Beijing, so it’s good to ask them to come in and accompany you.”

"That's right, the Ai family told you that the child of Chunxi's family looks very handsome, just like Chunxi's childhood appearance." The empress dowager took Wanzhao's hand and began to chatter, "...just That child Chang Ning is getting worse and worse, and so is Fu Quan, alas."

"Empress Dowager, don't sigh, the two princes will be under the care of their own imperial physicians, and nothing will happen." The noble concubine looked at the empress dowager's closeness to Wanzhao and was very jealous, seeing an opportunity to take advantage of it, she quickly interjected , "It counts that several Fujins will give birth. At that time, the Empress Dowager will not only be able to hold her great-grandson, but also see more great-grandchildren."

So the topic was taken aside again.Only then did Wan Zhao heave a sigh of relief, the old man often thinks that life, old age, sickness and death are not good.

On December [-]th, Buyechuk gave birth to a little Gege; five days later, King Zhifujin Borzigit gave birth to an elder brother, and King Yongjun who had entered the waiting period Fujin, Wang Fujin of Hengjun, and Qibeile side Fujin, the previous sluggishness in the palace was also swept away.

Wanzhao wore burnt blue and inlaid gold flower tines, a golden pinch of jade and red gold double-headed Qufeng Buyao on the side hairpin of her hair, three pairs of snowflake obsidian inlaid gold earrings on her ears, and a water red sprinkle of poppies. Dressed in bright satin pink and purple bordered Shu brocade flags, covered with a waistcoat with pinched begonia and peonies on the outside, and a cloak inlaid with red silk and squirrel skin, she went to Ningshou Palace with a hand stove and armholes in her arms.This year's New Year's Eve family banquet was moved to the Ningshou Palace. The princes and their families inside and outside the palace went into the palace together to chat and laugh with the empress dowager, and the atmosphere was still lively.Because Yongjun Wang Fujin and Hengjun Wang Fujin were waiting to give birth, so Yongjun Wang and Hengjun Wang only brought their own sons into the palace.

Dong E brought his eldest son, Hongwang, to Wanzhao's side. Seeing that Wanzhao was in good spirits, he lowered his head and smiled at his son, "Come, Hongwang, please greet grandma."

Hongwang was wearing a quarrel jacket trimmed with fox fur, staring at Wanzhao with big eyes, his chubby appearance was exactly like that of Yinxuan when he was a child.Before Hongwang could salute her, Wanzhao picked him up and hugged him in his arms, and said with a smile, "Oh, has Hongwang missed grandma lately?"

"I think about it." Hongwang blinked his big eyes, "I miss the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from my grandmother the most."

"I love desserts just like you, Ama." Wan Zhao smiled and nodded Hongwang's face, "When you come to grandma's palace during the Chinese New Year, grandma will ask you to make lotus root starch sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and then seal a How about a big red envelope?"

"Okay, then give one to Ama and Erniang." Hongwang said with a smile.

"Of course I have to give it." Wanzhao joked with him a few words, seeing that the empress dowager was already surrounded by little elder brothers, and quickly asked Dong E to take Hongwang to the empress dowager to talk and coax him The old lady is happy.

It was a very happy night. Although the princes Fujin and Buyecuk were able to attend due to confinement or waiting for childbirth, Kangxi was very happy with the arrival of the younger brothers.The prince has become more and more sensible, and now he can persuade a few older elder brothers to drink less, and he can also watch a few younger brothers, even if Yinbi doesn't give him a good face, he doesn't care, he really has grown up.

The king of Zhijun poured his head down and poured wine, cursing Bahangerong in his heart: I really don't have the slightest ability, doesn't it mean that it will work, why is Concubine Shu alive again after being ill for a while!There are also the second and third children, all of them are alive and kicking, it is really useless!It seems that after a while, he still needs to be told to work harder, Yuqing Palace has to buy someone quickly, otherwise there will be nowhere for those witchcraft dolls to be released!

The princess is wearing a narrow waistcoat of white satin with a thread of gold and a hundred butterflies. Inside is a flag dress embroidered with bamboo leaves and plum blossoms in pink and blue satin. She is holding a hand stove and talking to the old lady sitting at the bottom with a smile.This old woman is the wife of her great-uncle Shi Lin, so logically speaking, the Crown Princess has to call her uncle-grandmother.Hua Shan passed away, and her mother-in-law was not suitable to enter the palace; Shi Lin took office last year to beg for retirement, so this time Mrs. Shi Lin entered the palace to deliver a message.

"I'm sorry to trouble my uncle and grandma. Is everything alright at home?" the princess asked, "How's Ahma?" Three hours have already been counted, "I was sick for a while before, but now it's all right?"

"Everything is fine at home. Your Ama has taken care of your grandchildren at home, and your health has improved a lot." Mrs. Shi Lin replied, "It's your mother who is worried about you. I heard that you were injured because of... I fainted, are you okay now?" Shi Lin omitted the part about Hua Shan's death, "Your mother-in-law brought you a lot of things, and they are all for your body, so you can eat them when you have time."

"Thank you uncle and grandma." The concubine let people take it down, winked and told the waiters to leave, and then took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Mrs. Shi Lin, "I have some questions in my heart. Please, uncle and grandma, give this letter to Ama, and ask him to send someone to investigate carefully. After our Guerjia lineage retreats for the time being, there will be turmoil at the Zhijun King's side. I am worried, and I am even more afraid of his conspiracy What."

Mrs. Shi Lin knew that the Guerjia family was united in the same spirit, and that one was prosperous and the other was damaged, so she naturally became serious and worked for the Crown Princess. She said: "Although your uncle and grandfather have resigned, they have a lot of connections. Going out of the palace After that, I will hand over this letter to you, Ama, if there is anything we need to do, just ask."

"Thank you, uncle and grandma." The Crown Princess exchanged a few words with Mrs. Shi Lin before asking someone to send her away.Although Mrs. Shi Lin wanted to help, but this matter is a serious matter after all, if it is accidentally leaked out, some people may say that Yuqing Palace deliberately set the blame on the Zhijun Palace, so she asked Shi Wenbing to send someone to investigate the Zhijun Prince Her family temple can only be done secretly, and she still has to find a way to get others to come forward to expose the matter.

After the beginning of spring, Kangxi took his elder brothers on a tour of Mongolia unwilling to be lonely, and stopped by to see his two married daughters and grandchildren.This time, all the princes before the thirteenth elder brother stayed in Beijing, and the thirteenth elder brother to the seventeenth elder brother all went out with them.Still ordered Hepin, and Chen agreed to drive with Gao.But not long after leaving the capital, Gao was sent back because she was found to be two months pregnant.

Wanzhao couldn't help but get black lines, counting that Uncle Kangxi is fifty years old this year, he is really in good health, and he didn't see any sequelae from the previous serious illness.It’s just that Wanzhao didn’t know that Kangxi sometimes wanted to calm down and concentrate on reviewing memorials when everyone was alone in the Qing Palace in the dead of night, but he found that he didn’t even have the strength to hold a pen; After being dealt with by the prince, I made a few mentions and then posted it. It was also called exercising the prince's ability to handle government affairs.

Yu Jia is gone, but the affairs in the palace will not stop because of Kangxi's absence, especially this year is the election year, which of the young girls of the right age outside the palace is not thinking about their great fortune.Now the only elder brother in the palace who is ready to start a family is the fourteenth elder brother. His biological mother is concubine Shu, and he has an aunt who is a noble concubine. How many noble people wish their daughters could fall into the eyes of the two empresses.

"These girls are all good, and I don't know which one to choose. Sister, let me take a look." This year's draft is dominated by two noble concubines, and there are also two rosters. The one Wan Zhao is flipping through now is brought by Concubine Yi. Come, "I heard that the emperor wants Concubine Hui to pay attention, and is going to point out another Fujin to King Zhijun?"

"That's right, the emperor has already told me and Concubine Hui before he went on tour, but I think the emperor means that I'm afraid he won't pick those girls from Manchurian surnames." The party is now gradually retreating with knowledge and interest. There are rumors that Zhu has handed over the papers and resigned, but Kangxi has never disclosed it, and I don’t know if it is true or not. "Did you see Concubine Hui with a long face these days It looks like, I think she must have been thinking of finding another noble Fujin for Prince Zhijun."

"So, I thought what happened to her." Wan Zhao flipped through the roster of beautiful girls, "Duo Xihui is also going to marry this year. Although my siblings said before that they wanted to find a girl of the right age in Jueluo, but I'm still a little worried. There are many girls from middle-class family backgrounds on the roster of show girls, let's take a look."

"I think it's good for Yinyi to be assigned by the Wanyan family, and I don't know how good his family is." Concubine Yi took a note to write down her information, "Her Ama is the servant of the Ministry of Rites, please ask Yinyi to inquire more about it." We also know their tutors in our hearts."

"Let's look at it first." Wanzhao turned a few more pages, picked a few more families with Concubine Yi, and then closed the roster, and said to Concubine Yi with a smile, "Sister, you have worked hard today, why don't you stay with Concubine Yi tonight?" I……"

Before he finished speaking, Mu Jin ran in in a panic, his face covered in cold sweat.She said sharply: "Master, this slave has found a witch doll!"

Before Wanzhao came to her senses what a "witch doll" was, Concubine Yi had already gasped, and repeatedly ordered someone to bring it up.She held Wan Zhao's hand again, and said, "Sister, don't be afraid!"

I still don't know what it is... Wanzhao exclaimed in a low voice when she saw the wooden box that Hibiscus carefully held up. The doll was as long as two palms, and Wanzhao's name and date of birth were crookedly written on it. A nail was inserted straight into the head of the doll, which looked hideous and terrifying.

The matter was quickly reported to the empress dowager, and then the prince also got the news.He didn't dare to make his own claim, so he hurriedly asked someone to report the matter to Kangxi.

Fortunately, Concubine Yigui made people stop talking quickly, so there was no scene of panic in the palace; Kangxi had no intention of continuing his tour, so he found an excuse to drive back to Beijing, and passed on the questioning of the servants of Yongshou Palace .Wanzhao was sitting at the bottom wearing a silk and satin flag dress with blue weeping willows and dark flowers, looking like she was still in shock.Concubine Yi Gui on the side patted her hand reassuringly, signaling her not to worry.

"...The servant girl thought that the weather was getting warmer, so she was going to replace the bed with a spring quilt and a new tent, along with other accessories. But she didn't want to just move the pedals and prepare to clean. Seeing a wooden box under the bed, the servant pulled it out with a stick, opened it, and it was, it was..." Mu Jin herself was afraid when she thought about it, might her master's previous illness be related to this?And who put the voodoo doll in there, could there be an inner ghost in Yongshou Palace?

Kangxi picked up the creepy doll. The characters on it were distorted with large spacing. At a glance, he knew that it was written by someone who had just learned Chinese characters.The materials of the cloth and the box are not tributes from the palace, but probably crudely made by the people.How did this thing get into the palace, and how did it go to Concubine Shu's bedroom? Could it be that someone inside and outside joined forces to stir up trouble in the palace!He squinted his eyes gloomyly, and said, "Who has been in charge of Concubine Shu's bedroom?"

"It's always been slaves. Luyu and Coral are in charge. Before that, there were a few second-class maids who were in charge of cleaning, but they were all released later..." The more Mu Jin thought about it, the more something went wrong. Very good, but the master started to get sick after those maids were released!"

Kangxi was so angry that his teeth were itching. Someone used these disrespectful things to deliberately murder his concubine.The House of Internal Affairs should have records of those maidservants released, so he must find out!After taking a few deep breaths, Kangxi ordered: "Keep your mouth shut about this matter, I don't want rumors to spread in the palace. For the time being, the Yongshou Palace will not be lived in. I will invent a decree to rebuild the Yongshou Palace. Concubine Shu will go to Concubine Yi first." Let's live." After finishing speaking, he said gloomyly, "I want to see who is so bold as to practice such a sorcery in the palace, and asked Heng Jun Wang to come to Qianqing Palace to look for me, and I want to find out!"

King Zhijun was also very nervous when he found out about this. Although Bahangeron wrote the witchcraft dolls in Yongshou Palace, there would inevitably be some clues left behind. He hurried to his family temple to confirm with Bahangeron again and again. Those things for making dolls had been completely burned, so I came out of the family temple with a sigh of relief, but I didn't want my every move to be watched by caring people.
