Returning the Pearl and the Reborn Emperor

The death of a concubine will not affect the other women in the emperor's Linxing harem. Qing Ting poked a stamp and thought to herself: Could it be that because of the death of an old man, Qianlong was overwhelmed with emotion? There are many girls, and they use their youthful vigor to make up for and deceive themselves. He really thinks he is in his prime.

"Your Majesty, this is a prescription prescribed by Imperial Physician Lin, please take a look at it." Aunt Rong handed over the prescription.

Qing Ting only has a superficial knowledge of the medicinal properties of some medicinal materials, so she probably glanced at them a few times to understand the prescriptions. "This prescription is peaceful, what else did Imperial Physician Lin say?"

"Physician Lin said that my mother has just worked a little bit recently, and she will be fine after a few more days of rest. You can take this medicine if you want it, or you can take it if you are impatient. However, your mother has a heartache. Taking a few doses of medicine will make you heal faster. And the lady said that she didn't sleep very well recently, and this medicine is also effective in treating insomnia." Mother Rong was taken aback when she heard her mother said that her chest was tight and her heart ached. In a hurry, I hope that the empress can take two doses of medicine to recuperate, don't shy away from the disease.

Qing Ting nodded, handed the prescription back to Nanny Rong, and said, "Just cook the medicine according to this prescription, don't take it as a big deal, it's just to recuperate the body, it's meaningless if everyone in the palace knows about it."

"Hey." Mother Rong stared at the decoction in person, and scolded the women in the harem one by one in her heart. If it weren't for those goblins who were insane, how could her own mother have chest tightness and heartache, and it was obvious that she was angry.

After Qing Ting finished handling the palace affairs, she read a volume of Buddhist scriptures as usual, when she suddenly heard the eunuch's shrill voice calling "The emperor is here".She was surprised in her heart, why did he come here at this time today, at this time, it should be to prepare for the luck tonight, to talk to the little girl, talk to each other, to promote the relationship, so as to facilitate the work at night.

"The concubine welcomes the emperor." Qing Ting took Qianlong's cloak with her own hands, and seeing that Qianlong's hand stove was not too warm, she hurriedly handed over her own.

"Queen, you don't need to be too polite." Qianlong and Qing Ting sat down on the heated kang, and asked, "Queen, I have neglected you these days." Then he touched Qing Ting's hand with his dragon claw.

Qing Ting's hands trembled slightly, with an expression of disbelief on her face, she hurriedly lowered her head and said, "I can't bear what your Majesty said, and I am deeply ashamed that I can't share one or two things for your Majesty, who works day and night on state affairs. She said to the waiter again, "Hurry up and bring the hot tea that the emperor often drinks. The emperor just entered the house from outside. It's freezing cold. Drink some tea to moisten your throat and warm your body."

Seeing Qing Ting's behavior like this, Qianlong felt a little guilty when he thought of Su Ri's close relationship with the empress, and said, "If you hadn't managed the harem well, I wouldn't be able to rest assured. Empress, do you want to manage the harem well?" Easy, usually thanks to your filial piety to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother can be healthy and healthy."

Being courteous is nothing but adultery

Pirates, Qing Ting looked at the uncharacteristically uncharacteristic Qianlong today, and understood in her heart, what else could be the reason for his visit. "Your Majesty, I have something I want to discuss with you and the Queen Mother. I originally thought about going to pay my respects to the Queen Mother tomorrow, but now that the Emperor is here, I will talk to the Emperor first. I also want to discuss this matter sooner. explain."

Qianlong was puzzled, and said: "What does the queen want to say? Just open your mouth, maybe there is something embarrassing for you in the harem." Could it be that the queen guessed his thoughts and wanted to stop him?Thinking about it this way, Qianlong was unhappy, but it didn't show at all on the surface.

Qing Ting showed a little tiredness, and said in a slow voice, "Your Majesty, I have been feeling physically and mentally exhausted recently, and I often feel powerless to handle palace affairs, so I would like to ask the sisters in the harem for help."

Qianlong raised his eyebrows and said, "Why didn't I know that you were unwell? What do those imperial doctors do? They just occupy their positions and do nothing."

"Your Majesty, I have already seen the imperial physician, and the imperial physician also said that it is not serious, but just wants me to rest more, and I will be fine after a while, besides, the peace pulse is always on time, how dare the imperial physician not be dedicated."

"It's fine, the harem depends on you, do you have a suitable candidate in mind?" Qianlong asked.

"Concubine Chun has been in the palace for a long time, so it can be said that she is the right choice; Concubine Shu and Concubine Ling choose one. Sister Shu Concubine comes from a family with a large surname in Manchuria, and her family education is not bad. Sister Ling Concubine originally served by Sister Xiaoxian's side. Well, I don’t need to say about Sister Xiaoxian’s ability. I can learn a little bit from my concubine’s sister. What does the emperor think? It’s just that the emperor and the queen’s mother should decide which sister to choose. If two sisters help me, I can do it. Everything is going well, it’s not long before the Chinese New Year, and there must be no mistakes at this time, and with the help of my two younger sisters, I can also take a lazy rest and take care of my body.” Qing Ting paused, and said, “Just put everything in order Tell your majesty, majesty, should the position in the harem be raised? Now there is only one concubine, the concubine Chun, and the concubine Shu, and the concubine Ling. Man, the concubine Ling's younger sister gave birth to the fourteenth elder brother for the emperor, it's not without credit but also hard work." You don't mean that, I did it according to the favor, and whether the concubine Ling can become the noble concubine depends on whether your mother agrees.

Hearing what the empress said, Qianlong felt even more confused, so he said: "Whoever you choose depends on what the emperor's wife wants. Let me think about the matter of promotion, and it doesn't have to be the promotion of the imperial concubine. She She is still young, and her concubine position is not low."

"Your Majesty," Qing Ting said with a look of dumbfounding, "In terms of selfishness, I don't want any woman in the harem to be promoted. They are all the ones who rob me of their husbands. But, I am the queen, and I am in charge of the harem. There are also main rooms, side rooms, and concubines in the back house. It is enough for me to be jealous twice, but how can I be so jealous that I will delay the business? Think about it, Your Majesty. Although I have been at odds with Lingfei these years, the vinegar returns to vinegar.

Did you really do something unforgivable to her?If that's the case, even if you think about the friendship of these years, the emperor, the family law of the ancestors will not spare me. "After getting used to it for a while, she has already figured out Nala's temper, and she has also imitated it to eight points. Nala is not intolerant of others, but there is a limit to everything. After all, she will not be able to learn the temperament of filial piety and forbearance.

This queen always speaks so straightforwardly, but it's the same. The queen has such a straightforward temper, and she doesn't deal with the concubine Ling. She usually speaks with jealousy, and she also uses eye drops, but jealousy among women is not the same thing. , She has never really dealt with Ling Fei.Since the empress said those words to him last time, his prejudice against the empress has become a little less. Qianlong now believes that the empress is a bit temperamental in small matters, but absolutely abides by etiquette in major matters, so he believes that the empress really wants to It was also his idea to let the concubine Ling take the throne, and what the queen said about "robbing her husband" was very useful to him.So Qianlong said with a smile: "Your temperament can't be changed after many years. I am afraid of you. The dignified empress is still very jealous. Don't be jealous later."

"Long live, you also made fun of me. Isn't that what I have? If I could change it, I would have changed it long ago. I still use it today, but I'm jealous, and I haven't delayed my business. Besides, I want to tell you that I don't care at all. Jealousy, that's so fake, and besides, telling lies to Lord Long Live is not a crime of deceiving the emperor." Qing Ting smiled slightly, "I didn't say anything when you promoted your concubine and sister to be concubines. When I was promoted to the concubine position, if it wasn't for the fact that my concubine and sister had no children and no achievements, how could I say no, and I just pay attention to rules."

"Your mouth is becoming more and more able to speak. It was strong enough before. In this world, I am afraid that you are the most capable of deceiving the emperor, and you can't hide anything." Qianlong saw that his goal was achieved, so he was about to get up and leave, but Needing an excuse, seeing Qingting's Buddhist scriptures were still spread out on the table, she smiled and said: "The Queen has devoted herself to Buddha recently, so it's possible that she has recently become enlightened?"

Qing Ting put back her smile, and said in a low voice: "Da Che is so enlightened that I just read a few scriptures for Yipin's sister and do some devotion."

Qianlong was silent, and after a while he said: "You still have the heart."

"Maybe because my body often suffers from minor ailments, I feel that the world is impermanent. I also want to accumulate virtue for my child." Qing Ting is indeed doing dedication merit for Concubine Yi, and it is also for her own self-cultivation, but she cannot be expected to become a great person from then on. , Yongzheng believed in Buddha all his life, but when he should be cruel, he was never merciful.

"Then I won't bother you. Reciting Buddhist scriptures is not only for Concubine Yi, but also for the sake of the child. I can also benefit from it. Instead, I will recite scriptures and eat fast with the empress." Qianlong got up, he still had "business" to do.

I've been looking forward to your leaving for a long time, who wants to keep you and delay your "business".

-----------------------------------

--------------------------

The Empress Dowager did not object when Qing Ting said that she wanted to ask the concubine to help manage the palace affairs. She said to Qianlong and Qing Ting: "The Queen has always tried her best to manage the palace affairs. It has not been easy these years. Recently, there are more and more things in the palace. , Since the empress is not feeling well, you should take a good rest, and you should find someone to help you. The emperor, Aijia sees the most suitable concubine Chun, she is a noble concubine, she has served the emperor for many years, and she has assisted the empress before, this time it will be her."

Qianlong smiled and said: "What the emperor said is that the ministers and the queen also think that the pure concubine can take on the job, but the queen still wants to find someone, and wants to choose one of Shu Concubine and Ling Concubine to accompany Chun Concubine to assist the queen. .”

The empress dowager thought for a while, and said: "Concubine Shu, her rules are good, she has been in the palace for a long time, and her background is good, so she can hold people down." Seeing what the emperor wanted to say, she said, "Isn't Lingfei not Okay, but she was promoted to concubine before she gave birth, which is enough to attract attention."

Qianlong winked at Qingting, meaning you come.

Qing Ting received Qianlong's wink, and smiled slightly: "But now Lingfei has Qigege and Fourteenth Elder Brother, and she has contributed to the royal family, and she has followed Sister Xiaoxian for many years, and the rules are also impressive. commendable."

The empress dowager has her own thinking, just as Qing Ting said, the concubine Ling's children are all born in the "good" month of the ghost month; she is a slave by Xiaoxian's side, and the rules that a slave should have, does she have her own? I know better than anyone else.The empress dowager's expression became a little serious, and she said: "What the empress said is not unreasonable, but she has to take care of two young children herself, so where can she be distracted, Qi Gege and Fourteenth brother are not in good health, especially It's the fourteenth elder brother, only a few months old. For the Ai family, apart from the health of the emperor and dragon, and the incense of our royal family, no matter how good the concubine is, you must take good care of the grandchildren of the Ai family first. Concubine Ling's body is weak enough. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching and there are more and more things to do, can she take care of the children while assisting the queen in handling palace affairs? Even if she takes care of both sides, can her body be able to bear it? ?”

Hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Qianlong could only say: "Emperor Niang is more considerate. I originally thought that the concubine would be gentle and gentle, prudent and courteous, and able to take on this important task. In this way, Concubine Shu is more suitable." .”

Qing Ting also got up and said, "At first, I thought that Sister Shu Concubine and Sister Ling Concubine had their own strengths, and I didn't know which one to choose, so I bothered the Empress to make an idea. Now it seems that my daughter-in-law has little knowledge and is negligent. , and ask the Empress to be more considerate."

The empress dowager understood that it was Qianlong's idea to let the concubine Ling assist the empress, and it would be strange if the empress would be willing. "How can I blame you for this? If you are not mentally weak, you don't need others to help you. Empress, you have to make up your own mind about this important matter in the harem, and they can only assist you."

"Daughter-in-law, remember the teachings of the Empress Dowager." Qing Ting knew that she felt uncomfortable seeing the concubine Ling overshadowing the Empress Dowager Sheng. If she agreed, this opinion was discussed by the emperor and the empress. Now she can accept the relationship between the emperor and queen, but she doesn't want them to go any further.

The Empress Dowager did have such an idea, so she would not choose Concubine Ling.As for Concubine Shu, there is nothing in this palace that the empress dowager doesn't want to know, and it is easy to control people who are confused. After being ignored by the emperor for so many years, it is impossible to use this opportunity to turn around. Besides, she glanced at the empress, she has become smart recently Not a lot.The empress dowager also eats vegetarian food and recites Buddha, because her status gives her the opportunity to show her kindness, but the queen recently eats vegetarian food and recites Buddha, it does not mean that she is really a vegetarian. Others ate it.

"Mother Huang'er, my daughter-in-law still has something to ask. I wonder if Mother-in-law can lend Qing Gege to my daughter-in-law for a while?" Qing Ting laughed.

The Empress Dowager also smiled and said: "What do you borrow her for? Could it be that you have a Lan'er is not enough, want to abduct Ai's Qing'er?"

Qing Ting said with a smile: "Mother, my daughter-in-law can't do anything if she wants to kidnap the clever Qing'er. The daughter-in-law is really out of spirit these past few days. After handling the palace affairs, she has to teach the children, which is beyond her power, so I want Qing My son went to help my daughter-in-law teach Yongzhen how to read and write. Although Laner can also read and write, but she is not blind, she is no better than Qinger, so she asked the empress to give up her love and lend Qinger to her daughter-in-law for two hours a day. .”

"You, you just want to fight with Aijia, people have to fight, and good things have to fight. Okay, Nanny Gui, go and call Qing'er, and by the way, bring the old ginseng from Aijia to make up for the queen. .”

"Emperor Mother, my daughter-in-law can't afford it."

"Take it, you must hold it, there is a saying that 'cannibalism is short, but the hand is soft', you dare not treat my Qing'er badly."

"Hey, the empress's wife and daughter-in-law need to bring more things, and go to the Compassion Palace for dinner a few more times."

After a while, Qing'er came in with Nanny Gui, and the Empress Dowager told her Qing Ting's meaning, Qing'er smiled and said: "Thanks to the empress empress's attention, it's just that Qing'er is ignorant, I'm afraid I will delay the twelve elder brothers."

"It's just to teach him to read and understand some Manchu. This child is not very smart, so Qing'er needs to pay more attention. This child is loved by me very much. He can't learn things quickly, but he can ask a lot of questions. As for how to answer the question, Bengong was so overwhelmed by his question, I really regret that I didn't read more books."

"Okay, it turns out that I don't know how to teach anymore, so I take Qing'er from Ai's family as the top of the tank. Qing'er, don't worry, teach boldly, let the queen see how to teach children."

Qing'er smiled and said: "Since the Lafayette is destined, then Qing'er only needs to take on this job, but if you fail to teach, don't worry about it."

Blame Qinger, if you teach it well, the Empress, don't blame Qinger for taking the limelight, and don't forget Qinger's reward. "Qing Ting has always been kind to Qing Er, so she boldly made fun of Qing Ting.

"Don't worry, I won't forget, you can choose the private house of this Palace."

After teasing for a while, Qing Ting stood up and said, "Emperor Niang, Your Majesty, my daughter-in-law will take Qing'er there first, and I have to talk to Concubine Chun and Concubine Shu about that."

"Alright, I still have something to talk to Empress Empress, the Empress will go ahead first."

-------------------------------------------------- -----------

Qianlong took the teapot from Nanny Gui, and gave tea to the Empress Dowager himself, and the Empress Dowager didn't say much, enjoying Qianlong's filial piety quietly.

"Emperor Niang, I want to raise the position of Concubine Ling." Qianlong said when he saw the Empress Dowager drinking tea silently.

"Emperor, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." The empress dowager felt uncomfortable, and she was born in Baoyi and was favored. She was also named a noble concubine, much like the concubine of the year.The empress dowager was not to be favored, and she became the empress dowager only thanks to the birth of a good son, but the jealousy and anger of the past did not disappear with time.Besides, Concubine Nian's family can handle it. It used to be Yongzheng's right-hand man for a while. Although the Empress Dowager is a Manchurian, her family background is shallow and the family can't do it. When Fujin becomes a noble concubine, the resentment in his heart accumulates more and more. One man has several women, and the unbalanced love makes people crazy. No matter how kind a person is under abnormal circumstances, he will become bitter and mean. A kind person, who was forced by the environment to endure for several years. She loathes and resents all the women who can remind her of that period of time. Everyone looked up to her, flattered her, and held her high.

Qianlong was displeased, but the empress dowager's tone didn't seem to be a refusal, so she said: "This matter is to discuss with the emperor's mother. There are not enough concubines, concubines, and concubines in the harem, and the son is also because the concubine Ling gave birth to a child. Fourteenth, I am very happy, besides, Concubine Ling has been with my son for so many years, and she is also the person who served Xiaoxian by his side, so she is very fond of my son."

"Isn't the queen mother clear about this? If she hadn't won your favor, why did you let the concubine Ling be promoted from a nobleman to a concubine and then to a concubine? At that time, she didn't even have a child. At that time, the queen objected Is it? No, but a concubine is different from a concubine. The empress wants you to be cautious about this matter. The current pure imperial concubine is not a bannerman. The emperor should understand what the empress means. You can promote the concubine Ling to Concubine, let others look at it, it seems that this harem has become the world of Han concubines." No matter how noble her status is, she is given by her son, and it is not good for her to be separated from him, but her tone is still somewhat

unhappy.

Qianlong was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "My son understands what Huang Erniang means, but..."

………………

What Qianlong wanted to talk to the Empress Dowager was to ask the Empress Dowager to agree to promote Lingfei to the imperial concubine. Qing Ting was not very worried. .Qing Ting could see that although the empress dowager passed through that period of time calmly, she was never reconciled. Many things could arouse her inner anger, but she was so able to bear it, even if she occasionally showed some embarrassment because of her pampering and pampering for many years. True emotions can hide her true emotions for so many years, she can easily put on a mask quickly, so Qing Ting is not worried that she will not be able to convince Qianlong, at least she can delay the matter.

Qing Ting puts her mind on the people around her, promotes understanding with Qing Er, and raises her son and daughter well.There are always annoying things in life that arouse people's anger, but you can't live your life well because of those things.

I don't know if it's because he didn't promote his favorite concubine, but Qianlong's narrow-mindedness started to work, or he was angry, or he lost interest. He suddenly decreed to pursue Concubine Yi as Concubine Yi, and then disappeared.Qing Ting rolled her eyes, what does this mean, and wanted to tell others that people other than Concubine Ling are not worthy of promotion, and the living are not as good as the dead.

The author has something to say: Don't rush to pick plum blossoms, it's just a matter of these few chapters.
