[Red Mansions] The promotion of the female history of salted fish

The saddest thing about being a concubine is that she is usually locked in the palace and isolated from the world, and her mother's family may not listen to what she says.Like Yun Ling, who has been making decisions in her natal family after her parents died, and what she said is still a little bit more effective in her natal family; or the head of her natal family, such as the queen or empress dowager, is clear-headed, and she will not do anything to drag the family down. What I am most afraid of is the Li family. As Situ Hui's biological mother, Concubine Li, even if her political literacy is not very good, but Situ Hui can't stand it. Tell her the most bluntly, did Concubine Li not send a letter to her natal family? ?She is not stupid!The problem is that good words are hard to persuade, damn it, the head of the Li family agreed "hmm" in front of Concubine Li, but after leaving the palace, what happened, and what happened afterwards, he didn't listen to Concubine Li's persuasion at all!

Concubine Li, as the emperor's own mother, was always treated like this by the Patriarch of the Li family, let alone Li Guiren.Now that the Patriarch of the Li family has stabbed Lou Zi in the hall, Situ Hui remembered that Li Guiren is his own daughter.As for his own mother, Concubine Li? Situ Hui sighed, thinking that his mother's repeated consolation to the head of the Li family was completely ignored by the head of the Li family. After pawing around, I went to the Compassion Ning Palace to pay homage to a bunch of good things.

The double standard is obvious.

When Yunling heard about Situ Hui's latest move, she silently lit a candle for Li Guiren in her heart, but she didn't have any friendship with Li Guiren, so she didn't have to come to comfort him or anything.

Yunling has not been free recently. Zhang Ronghua’s child should have been born in June, which is the time when the heat is at its worst. Daliang was not in the mood for bathing when he was in confinement, so he could only scrub. Yun Ling felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.

Zhang Ronghua usually lives in a good location. It is the East Wing. Even in dog days, the temperature will not be too high when the sun just rises. When the sun shines fiercely at one or two o'clock in the afternoon, the sunlight will not reach the inside of the East Wing. go.

It's a pity that when women in this era give birth, the delivery room can't be in the house they usually live in. Zhang Ronghua's delivery room was chosen by herself, and it is in the ear room of the main hall of Zhongcui Palace in Yunling.At the beginning, Yunling marked out this ear room as one of the delivery room options to show that she could take care of it nearby. At the same time, there were two other positions in the drawing that Zhang Ronghua took over. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ronghua really chose this one in the end. closest to her.

This side room is the same as Yunling's main hall, facing south from north.But Yunling can use ice in summer, and can also make the people in the imperial dining room freeze, but Zhang Ronghua definitely can't do it this summer.In desperation, Yunling ordered someone to ask Zhang Ronghua, and planted two rows of bamboos at the door of the side room. During Zhang Ronghua's confinement period, it was all thanks to them to bring some coolness to the side room.

When Zhang Ronghua came to Yunling's side to pay his respects, he saw these bamboos and felt a little embarrassed, "My concubine... I'm too tired to bother my mother."

This is not a polite word, generally speaking, the delivery room is a one-time thing, especially in the harem, there are very few concubines who can frequently use the delivery room.In order to live in this month by herself, Yunling deliberately changed the layout of the delivery room to something she can use easily every day, which already made Zhang Ronghua very grateful. Unexpectedly, Yunling would even take care of things like being afraid of her heat in summer Considered.

Yunling smiled and said, "What's the matter? This child has to be called concubine after birth. Besides, you have been living in Zhongcui Palace since you entered the palace. It's rare that you need my help."

What's more, after Miao Yunfeng left Beijing, Miao Wang's family also followed her. Now she is bored every day, and tidying up a room can still pass the time. Otherwise, what do you spend so much time on every day?

Zhang Ronghua is not too young now, Yunling has been pregnant with a child before, knowing that standing or sitting for a long time with such a big belly will put a heavy burden on her waist and legs, so she didn't keep her any longer, and said a few words to her. Let her go back.

After lunch, Qi Yue and Qi Duo ran in from outside the house.Qi Yue soaked in the front, saluted Yunling neatly, and then reached out to take the pastries on the table, "I haven't been back for a long time, mother concubine, mother concubine, do you miss me?"

Strange to say, when these two children were learning to speak, it was Qi Duo who spoke first, but when they grew up, it was Qi Yue who liked to chatter about the outside situation to her, and Qi Duo became quiet again.

The classwork in the Shangshufang is the same as that of the imperial government's yamen, with one day off every ten days, and only three days off in a month, which is much stricter than when Yunling was a child.Yunling stroked the heads of these two one by one. Qi Yue and Qi Duo just started to grow their hair. When they were in Yunling's Zhongcui Palace, they just put their hair in random bundles and tied two bags on their heads.Now that he is going to school in front, Qi Yue saw how adults wear it, so he must also wear a hair crown.His hair is not that long yet, and the small hair crown specially made for him by the Shangyi Bureau can only gather half of his hair, so the remaining half is just like this on his shoulders, and he follows the boy from the Shang Study Room to the Zhongcui Palace. It's been a bit of a mess to run around.

Qi Duo didn't have any obsession with the hair crown, so the people below went to the front and still combed his hair with the full angle for the convenience of taking care of it.Now the two of them are standing together, the little man with the hair crown has an innocent face, but the kid with the curly hair looks a little serious thinking, which makes Yunling's eyes inevitably smile a little more meaning.

Qi Yue was still telling Yunling what he had eaten these days with his fingers, and Yunling smiled and followed his words and asked, "Really, is the new snack delicious?"

"It's delicious, with jerky in it, so it's chewy." Qi Yue said, and poked Qi Duo, "Sixth brother, do you like it too? You can eat it every day between classes." A plate!"

Yun Ling frowned invisibly, seeing that Qi Duo just nodded, and then laughed again, "They said just now that they asked the dining room to bring two plates to us, and I'll try it too. How delicious it is, the fifth prince is full of praise."

Yuyan also watched these two children grow up, and seeing Qi Yue rolling in Yunling's arms now, her brows and eyes softened.Just about to agree, Yunling continued, "Let the people who follow the sixth prince go with you, lest you can't explain clearly."

Qi Yue didn't pay much attention to such trivial matters, but Qi Duo's brows and eyes relaxed a lot.Seeing this, Yunling affirmed her guess, nodded along with Qi Yue's words, and said with a smile, "Go to the front, you're quite busy today." It's memorizing, practicing Chinese characters, and taking archery lessons. The schedule is full.

Qi Yue pursed his lips, and acted like a baby to Yun Ling, "Isn't that right, the concubine mother will let my sixth brother and I have fun for a while."

Yun Ling just laughed, "I don't care about you after you finish the homework left by Master Shangshufang."

Seeing that Qi Yue was still not very happy, Yun Ling leaned down and hugged him, "My concubine also attended classes all day long when she was a child, and what the master taught you is what you will use when you grow up, you have to study hard ,do you know?"

Qi Yue nodded.

Yunling straightened up and called Yuchan to come over, "The people who followed the Fifth Prince have also worked hard, you take them to the small warehouse in the west, and each of them picks out something they like."

As her status gradually rises, Yunling's warehouse has more and more things. The small warehouse on the west side was just cleaned out by Yunling two days ago, and the piles of things in it are basically things that are not used when going to the ceremony. thing.In other words, it is only for eunuchs and eunuchs.Before that, the two nuns of Zhongcui Palace and the big maids of Yuchan had already picked two of them, and even the second-class ladies of Chunlu also took one.Now hearing that Yunling asked her to take the people around the Fifth Prince to pick things up, Yuchan took a few eunuchs and maids to the direction of the small warehouse with no change in expression.

Yunling pulled the two children, and asked some things like "what time do you get up every day, how are the servants in the new yard?"Probably due to the fact that the servants who followed him all left, Qi Yue's little face fell down, "Nurses are not allowed to eat meat at night."

Oh, yes, after the princes went to the courtyard over the Shang study, they assigned a nanny to each other, who was mainly responsible for the prince’s daily life and food, and by the way taught the little maids and eunuchs who followed the prince so that no one would take the prince with him. broken.

When these two children were in Zhongcui Palace, they liked to eat snacks at six or seven o'clock in the evening, thinly sliced ​​dried meat, sprinkled with sesame seeds, or brushed with a layer of honey, Qi Duo could eat a plate at a time. You can still have breakfast the next day.At the beginning, Yunling was afraid that there would be something wrong with these two eating like this. The Xiaoshi pills in Zhongcui Palace have been kept in stock since then, but Yunling called the imperial doctor to come over and take the pulse a few times, and the imperial doctor said it was all right.Seeing that the two children were not uncomfortable, Yunling let them go.

When I first saw them eating like this, I was worried, but it is more normal for the nuns not to dare to give it.You know, if these two fell ill because of eating indiscriminately, the reprimands of the nuns below would be light, and it is possible to be beaten or dismissed.

Yunling originally thought that the nuns were just a little timid, and didn't let Qi Yue and Qi Duo add supper at night, thinking that it would be enough for her to send someone over to tell her, but she didn't expect that after careful questioning, she found out that Qi Yue and Qi Duo were in the same night The meat dishes in the meal have been cancelled.

Ever since Qi Yue and Qi Duo were able to eat meat for dinner, these two almost always eat meat.Yunling frowned, "Didn't you tell her that you were hungry at night?"

"Say it," Qi Yue said in a low voice, "Mammy said it's because she just didn't get used to it, and it will get better with time."

Yunling suppressed her anger, and patted Qi Yue and Qi Duo's heads, "Mother Concubine knows, Mother Concubine thinks of a way."

Qi Yue has a broad heart, after hearing what Yun Ling said, he really didn't care about it, and went back to the house after eating snacks, not sure if he was going to play or do his homework.On the contrary, Qi Duo was careful, and after Qi Yue left, he still tugged at Yunling's sleeve and said, "Mother and Concubine, don't worry, even if Qi Yue has five points, I will give you ten points. The mothers are also reasonable, but It’s just because we are afraid that we will accumulate food.”

Yunling smiled and nodded, "Understood. It won't hit your yard, don't worry."

Both children went back to the house, and Yuyan and Yuchan came back not long after.The eunuchs and maids who were assigned to follow the fifth and sixth princes naturally entered the house to serve, Yuchan whispered, "I have inquired about the diet of the fifth prince in the front yard, and everyone agreed, only one named Xiao Xiazi Taking advantage of others not paying attention, the eunuch quietly told the servants that the fifth prince sometimes seems to be hungry at night, and he can still drink a pot of tea after returning to his room. Fortunately, they did not dare to make the tea too strong at night, so that the fifth prince did not let him eat too much. Go sleepy."

Yunling nodded, looked at Yuyan, and saw Yuyan nodded, "Two of the six princes said that the prince was hungry at night, one is the court lady Linglong, and the other is the eunuch Xiao Shunzi."

Yun Ling really didn't expect that before the eldest prince Situ Qi Yuxuan was poisoned, Yang Peishan had already cleaned the courtyard where the prince lived, and now this kind of thing could happen.But after thinking about it carefully, the last purge was probably aimed at those who had two hearts. Compared with loyalty, many small problems can be ignored.The two nuns who followed Qi Yue and Qi Duo were just rigid, and it wouldn't be a big problem if they were placed in other positions, but both Qi Yue and Qi Duo said they were hungry at night, and they still went their own way, which shouldn't be the case.

Isn't it because you are afraid of taking responsibility?Yunling instructed Yuyan, "Starting tomorrow, serve Qi Yue and Qi Duo each a plate of meat dishes from our table at night." In case the prince ate something inappropriate, she will be responsible for the big head, and this The nuns won't stop me, will they?

Ten days later, Qi Yue and Qi Duo rested for a bath again, Yun Ling asked carefully, and sure enough, the nuns would not dare to stop the food she gave.Yunling also had no intention of digging through the courtyard where the princes lived, so this matter was left alone for the time being.

At the beginning of June, this year's draft was completed, and there was another beauty surnamed Xiao in Zhongcui Palace.This Xiao beauty is not like Zhang Ronghua, who can be seen at a glance in the crowd, but when she smiles, it is as refreshing as a summer breeze.Yunling arranged her next door to Li Meiren.

Seeing that mid-June had passed and the baby in her stomach was still not coming out, Zhang Ronghua was a little anxious.If the fetus stays in the mother's body for too long, it may lead to overgrowth and dystocia during childbirth. There are many sayings about birthdays in ancient times. For example, July is the ghost month. If the child's birthday is in July, it is said that it is not very good. .

Zhang Ronghua also specifically asked the imperial doctor if he could use oxytocin, but the imperial doctor hesitated and said a lot of nonsense. In short, oxytocin may damage the mother's body.After June [-], Zhang Ronghua would walk around twice a day almost every day, hoping that the child would come out soon and not delay until July.

Probably the child also felt the eagerness of his mother. On June 24, Zhang Ronghua finished his walk outside as usual, and felt a pain in his stomach and a clear feeling of falling.Zhang Ronghua was overjoyed, and quickly asked the maid in charge to inform the nurse next to Yunling, and then the group moved to the delivery room.

After two days and one night, Zhang Ronghua gave birth to a six-pound baby girl.When the midwife mother shouted "Congratulations Ronghua, you are a princess", Zhang Ronghua seemed to have a flash of disappointment in his heart, but there was no time to make an expression on his face, and he fainted from exhaustion.

After Situ Hui heard that she was a princess, he ordered the people below to reduce the reward by two points compared to the third princess.In addition to Zhang Ronghua's, Yunling, the lord of Zhongcui Palace, also got a lot of good things.

The little princess was white and tender within two days after she was born, and she opened her eyes very quickly, which made Yunling envious for a while.However, Situ Hui has a lot of things going on recently, and Xisan and Manyue are all busy with the harem women and passed away after a while.
