Returning the Pearl and the Reborn Emperor

The emperor made an excuse that it was not too early for dinner, and asked Lan Xin to take the two little ones outside to play, and said to Ziwei: "You live in the palace, and you must have a name. I decided to recognize you as a 'righteous person'." Female'. The queen already has three children here, and sometimes she has to take care of the four princesses for the pure concubine, and the queen is busy with affairs, and entrusting you to the queen, the queen may not be able to take care of everything. When you enter the palace for the first time, you need a year It is right for the elders to take care of you. I have thought about it, Concubine Wan is an old man in the palace, she has no children around her, and just needs someone to accompany her, if you go to her, she will definitely take care of you with all her heart."

Qing Ting thought to herself: You are not afraid of scaring Wanbi, she lives in the palace like a piece of wood, and suddenly you give her such a "daughter" who can't help but love her so easily, she is not afraid of shortening her life.But she said: "Wanbi is an honest person. For so many years, I have looked at her coldly. She is open-minded and generous to others. However, no matter whose name you send it to, you must call me 'Emperor Niang', Speaking of which, I still have an extra daughter, which is the most advantageous."

The emperor smiled slightly, and continued: "However, this 'adopted daughter' can't be recognized at will. I don't mention it at a distance, just say that in front of me, after Lan'er is a loyal minister, she, Ama, has made great contributions to the country and deserves to be my adopted daughter. I also have a foster daughter who accompanied the Empress Dowager in Mount Wutai, and her late father also made meritorious service to the imperial court, and I will not treat the meritorious officials badly, so I raised these two girls." There are still some objections, but both of their fathers died, and the two of them can be a model for the court to treat meritorious officials generously. The two girls are also likable, so the emperor has no objection, but the two of them were originally Heshuogege, Because Qianlong had promised to raise their identities before, if it weren't for this, the emperor would still let the two of them be Shuogege instead of Heshuo Princess just like Xiaozhuang adopted Kong Sizhen back then.However, Ziwei's status can at most be one and Shuogege, which is enough to flatter her.

Ziwei listened carefully, with a little envy in her eyes, and thinking of the intimacy between Lan Xin and the queen just now, her envy deepened.She knew that the queen was good to her, but she could also see that the queen was not as close to Lan Xin as she was to her. Maybe it was because she had been here for a short time and was older than Lan Xin, so she was not particularly close to her.

The emperor also said: "If you want to recognize you as a daughter, you have to arrange a reasonable birth for you. After half a month, I will go to Mulan for an autumn hunting. At that time, Saisang Gendun will bring his family to Mulan." The emperor's meaning , I want Ziwei to be the niece of a nobleman, so I say she is a righteous daughter because of destiny. Although Saisang Gendun's surname is Borzigit, there is nothing special about this family, unobtrusive, and an illegitimate daughter. Naturally, the more low-key it is to deal with the better, the emperor will not call a group of ministers like Qianlong, racking his brains to think of a transcendent title.

When Ziwei heard that she wanted her to be someone else's woman, she was unwilling in every possible way. Tears welled up in her eyelashes, and she cried: "Your Majesty, I understand your kindness, but...but...my mother has worked so hard to raise me for 18 years...day and night Night, waiting all the time, 18 years... I watch it all

In my eyes, in my heart, my mother has waited for a lifetime, hated for a lifetime, thought for a lifetime, and complained for a lifetime... only my daughter is with me, but now, if... want me not to be my mother's daughter... like that , Am I sorry for my mother, sorry for my mother who gave me life, and sorry for my mother's hard work in raising me for 18 years. "

While listening to her, the emperor picked up the teacup, but didn't take a sip of the tea. He filtered the tea leaves with the cover, and then put down the teacup. He said, "You think I have wronged you, I'm sorry." Your mother?"

"No, that's not what I mean. Your Majesty, actually, I really want to call you 'Huang Ama', not because of that identity, but because of that family relationship, and because of my mother's 18-year expectation, but I really want to call you 'Huang Ama'." There is no way, I don't want to lose my 'mother', and I don't want to lose my father."

Qing Ting secretly took a deep breath, Ziwei didn't look like the kind of person who didn't wink, although she was a little confused, but her ability to perceive words and emotions was not particularly bad, could it be that she wanted to burn the boat because of the emperor's neglect?Qing Ting secretly thought, has Xia Yuhe never heard that his wife is still dead? She is not even a concubine, so what can she expect from that man? What kind of words are said to Ziwei every day? In this era, such words can be casually said Telling her daughter, Ziwei has always had the wrong idea that only the two of them are true love.

The emperor's face became gloomy, Youdao is the father's debt, but it turned out to him, how many sins he has committed, how did he fall to this embarrassing situation today.It is true that Qianlong was wrong, but as far as he knew about those things back then, if Xia Yuhe hadn't taken the initiative to throw herself into her arms, there wouldn't be what happened later. Why play the piano and sing, the man can still hear it in the deep boudoir, and then perform a romance.It is not enough to have this one, there is a second one, the mother and daughter are looking for their father thousands of miles away, and I just let myself catch up. "Ziwei, that's all I've said. Think about it for yourself. If you want to go out of the palace and be an ordinary Xia Ziwei, I can satisfy you and ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. I will also find a good school for you." Family."

Ziwei burst into tears, so her "father" doesn't want to recognize her anymore?

Seeing this, Qing Ting hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Ziwei, you are still young and have little knowledge, and you still don't understand your empress Ama's painstaking efforts. When you think it over clearly, you will naturally appreciate the emperor's consideration. Alas, Ziwei , don’t you have the heart that your mother will not be at peace until now, and she will bring up the old things and be talked about? Your Majesty, don’t be angry, later, I will tell Ziwei slowly, Ziwei is a sensible girl, she will understand Yes. Qiusi, Shu Qing, take Ziwei down to freshen up, a good-looking young lady, this appearance is not acceptable."

Sending Ziwei away, Qing Ting asked someone to exchange tea for the emperor, and brought it out in a Ru kiln meditation cup, she served the tea herself, and stood quietly aside.The emperor played with the teacup and said flatly: "This is the learned rule."

Qing Ting bowed her head and said apologetically, "The emperor calm down

, It’s all because I failed to do my duty and failed to complete the tasks entrusted to me by the emperor. "

"It's no wonder you, my eldest girl. Teaching her well is even more difficult than teaching an eight-year-old girl. No matter how hard you try, I don't want to marry into someone else's family in the future and harm her." The emperor said, "The time is not right. It's early, call the children in for a meal, and the children will not be hungry." The emperor looked at the chessboard in front of him, the two children were still very malleable, and if they were taught carefully, it would not be difficult for them to become talents in the future, so they should still devote their attention to these children. Well, not everyone in this world deserves to be taught. No matter who it is, even the emperor, there is nothing he can do about some stubborn people.

Qing Ting asked Lan Xin, Yong Xing, and Yong Xing who were playing with dogs outside to come in, and watched them wash their hands and clean themselves up.The children also felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, and they all looked honest and did not dare to speak out.Qing Ting didn't let Ziwei come back, but asked someone to deliver food to Ziwei.

Qing Ting saw the children secretly making eye contact, and she glanced at the emperor, knowing that he could see it too.

Aunt Rong was even more outraged than the master. Although she didn't dare to show it, she hated Ziwei's ignorance in her heart. It's rare for the emperor to come to the queen these days. This is not to offend the empress.

On the contrary, the emperor seemed to have forgotten what happened just now, and became kind, and he didn't even mind that Yong Xing and Yong Xing asked him some questions about young boys after the meal.Qing Ting chatted with Lan Xin about needlework. Seeing that the emperor had no intention of venting his anger, she calmed down. After sending the children away, the emperor told her about his plans.

"You don't have to worry too much about Ziwei. I showed her the way. The choice is hers. It doesn't matter if she wants to. It's not so easy to be the princess of the royal family. She doesn't seem to be able to take that responsibility, but no matter what So, I will take care of her." The emperor said lightly to the queen.If you have to let her accept it, there is no guarantee that she will not have a lump in her heart for the rest of her life. It is fine if she is not suitable for this palace. There is no reason to force the bull's head to drink water.

Qing Ting said softly: "Your Majesty, I understand your thoughts, but Ziwei may take some time to understand. Your Majesty, let's not talk about her, there are other girls to worry about."

The emperor smiled slightly and said: "Xiao Si, her marriage is getting closer day by day, the boy from Fu Heng's family is not bad, this son-in-law is not a wrong choice." Thinking of Si Gege passing away at a young age, he was still a little dissatisfied.

"The princess mansion prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Xiaosi is still under construction, and the princess's dowry is also in charge of it. I don't need to worry about it. I just worry that the palace has not married a daughter for a long time, and it is not thorough, so I will use the previous examples of princesses getting married. Find it out, take a good look, think about it, it is not an easy thing to say that the princess is getting married, after she gets married... after all, she is married, and she is not in front of her eyes, so I really dare not guarantee it." Qing Ting He stopped talking, as if he was thinking about something, but he didn't know how to start it.

emperor

As soon as I heard that the princess was married, I knew what was going on, pretending to be puzzled, and said: "Think about it carefully, it's really hard to say, although the married girl poured water, but the pot of water must be poured in the right place. It’s okay if you pour it into the river, but if you pour it into the ditches, your girl will be ruined for the rest of her life, not to mention the word royal, but there is also the suffering of being noble.” Seeing the surprise in the queen’s eyes, he smiled, “Don’t I thought I didn’t know anything when I stayed in the palace. I used to think about the royal rules and didn’t say anything. Now I have to think more about my children, and princesses don’t have many heirs.” And most of them are unlucky, and the emperor has had daughters. He has had his own daughter and adopted his brother's daughter, but their lives have not been happy because they have a father who is the emperor, and as a father, he spends very short time with his daughter in his life, so it is impossible to talk about it. Emotional.

Qing Ting was a little bit guilty. She saw that he was cruel and unsympathetic, but he was good to children. She wondered if he was Qianlong's father, but when Qianlong's father was so tender?Qing Ting expressed doubts. "I'm also worried about the princess's heirs, and the princess's body. It's always worrying. Don't talk about the past, just be gentle. Every time you announce her to the palace, you have to worry more about her body. After all, it was nothing more than stagnation of wood energy and disorder of the earth and wood. I asked her if I had something on my mind, and she didn't say anything. Husband, in front of me, He Wan would not say that the forehead is not good. Really, there are worries about unmarried daughters, and endless worries after married daughters."

The emperor smiled and said, "I know what's going on. Even if you women know, there's nothing you can do about it. Don't worry about it. Tell He Wan, I'll make the decision for her." It's no big deal for those old mothers to have trouble with the rule of summoning the son-in-law. Anyway, this rule will be abolished in the future, so it doesn't matter if it is abolished a few years earlier.

Qing Ting became more and more puzzled, why did the emperor suddenly turn into a loving father when he was still a cold-faced Rakshasa before?Qing Ting has always been skeptical that the emperor will be a loving father. Qianlong often doesn't remember the birthdays of his children, and he may not even remember how old they are this year, although this guy doesn't have many children. "What can the emperor do? Does the emperor know what He Wan is thinking?"

The emperor didn't answer, but asked about the scriptures that Qing Ting had read recently.

Qing Ting didn't continue to ask, and talked about her recent experience from reading "The Great Infinite Life Sutra".In terms of understanding of Buddhism, Qing Ting is far inferior to the emperor. The emperor came at his fingertips and explained a few words at will, which benefited her a lot.

It's just that Nurse Rong, who was waiting on the sidelines, was a little anxious. Why did she talk about the Buddhist scriptures? The emperor and empress are also husband and wife. It's probably not good for husband and wife to talk about this.

But the emperor and empress seemed to be in good spirits, and they talked about the "Amitabha Sutra". If it wasn't for the late hour, Qing Ting really wanted to hear how the emperor explained the three major scriptures of the Pure Land Sect.

just go to bed

At the time, it was somewhat surprising, but it is not difficult to understand that although the emperor is focused on state affairs and cares little about personal affairs, as long as the emperor is still a man, it is inevitable...

What Qing Ting couldn't figure out was that someone who talked about Buddhist scriptures all night could still be in a mood, and a man really couldn't be judged by common sense.

——————————————————————————————————————

Jin Suo heard about Ziwei's performance in front of the emperor and queen, and was very anxious. She felt that the emperor's idea was good, and what the queen said was also reasonable. The wife is no longer here, and the dead are taboo. There is no reason for the wife to be talked about. The wife is still alive. At that time, it had been criticized for too long. Not only could the Xia family lose their heads in Jinan, but they also had no face as servants. Now that they were in the palace, if this matter was revealed again, no one would say anything wrong with the emperor. The one who gets hurt can only be her young lady, as a maid, she will also be crushed to pieces.

It's just that some things can't be said too straightforwardly to Ziwei, Jinsuo can only choose what Ziwei can listen to, and the words are very tactful.

"But," Ziwei burst into tears, "the emperor didn't think about my mother at all, and the emperor didn't care about my mother's 18 years of waiting. If the emperor didn't care about my mother at all, and didn't care about my mother's 18 years of waiting, then no matter what status I was given, it would be useless , because I have already been denied, maybe the emperor thinks it would be better if I never showed up."

Jin Suo was at a loss for words, so she could only bite the bullet and continue to persuade: "Miss, if this is the case, why does the emperor bother arranging your identity? If the emperor really hopes that the lady never shows up, why bother to find out that the little swallow is pretending to be you? To be fair to Miss, why bother to ask the Queen to persuade Miss again, Miss, how can the emperor and queen who have seen countless people not see your mood at this time, you don’t need to persuade you, you are willing to be the unknown Ziwei by the Daming Lake, if you don’t want to make it up to you, Wouldn't that be better, just let us leave."

Ziwei cried: "Yes, why do you want to compensate me, but deny my mother, deny everything about my mother, I am my mother's daughter, I... I am my mother's daughter, I can't... betray my mother, Jin Lock, I think so, is there something wrong?"

Seeing her crying sadly, Jin Suo couldn't help crying: "Miss, no matter what, if you just give up this opportunity, your wife's last wish will never be fulfilled. Miss Dao can't even fight for it, so why not?" Do you want to give up like this? At least if you stay, you will have a chance to let the emperor know about those 18 years."

"No! I won't give up," Ziwei said firmly, "Actually, I also know that the emperor can't admit mother openly, but I don't want mother to be forgotten like this. I will fight to make the emperor think of mother. It is enough for the emperor to say a word of affirmation to my mother in private."

"So miss, you have to be patient, for the sake of your wife, you must be patient, miss, no matter what happens, Jin Suo will always be by your side."

The conversation between the two of them, word for word

The news was heard by Qing Ting, and Nanny Rong said with some contempt: "I thought it was really reliable, but it seems that it is nothing more than that. Thankfully, Madam is really good to her, but the little girl beside her , I have a bit of a brain, but it's a pity that I followed the wrong person and didn't go on the right path."

Qing Ting continued to do her own embroidery, and said lightly: "A good girl who is loyal and courageous, she is a good seedling. But don't underestimate Ziwei, this girl is the kind of person who sometimes gets stubborn and no one can do anything to her , she must go back and do what she wants to do, but it seems that she can't afford the responsibility of being a royal princess, and living a small life at home is fine."

Mother Rong was busy and didn't care, and said: "Once I look around, I can't see how much better she is than Lang Gege. It doesn't matter if she reads a lot, women still value virtue."

"Knowing the books is reasonable, knowing the books is for the sake of reasoning. If you just read books but don't understand them, or if you read in the wrong way, disregarding the general principles, and choose those side ways, it is better not to read. If you want to say this, Qing'er is better, and Ziwei is defeated." It's just that she didn't learn what she should have learned before, and she learned a lot of things she shouldn't learn. Let's watch again. I have to plan and plan for her, but as the emperor said, it's up to her to listen or not. If she can listen to one or two things, this palace will be Amitabha."

"There is no one in this world who does not follow the road pointed out by others. If you insist on walking on the single-plank bridge without stopping, you, the emperor and master, have already pointed out the way. To be honest, it is already the utmost benevolence."

"I can't help it. It's great filial piety for a child to pick a flower for his parents, but it doesn't matter if a parent takes out his heart and gives it to his child." Qing Ting stopped her hands and watched herself do it. embroidery. "Nurse Rong, can you see how my embroidery is doing, okay?"

"Master, it's hard to find someone in the entire harem that can compare with your skill." Rong Nuo laughed.

"How can you say so well, I don't do it seriously, I just pass the time. Madam Rong, Ziwei didn't say anything, what kind of birthday gift is she going to prepare, embroidery or painting?" Qing Ting asked the maid After rubbing her shoulders and doing embroidery for half a day, her shoulders and neck were a little sore.

"Returning to the master, Miss Ziwei is still preparing, it seems that she hasn't made up her mind yet."

"Then ask her to come over. Bengong will plan and plan with her. By the way, let her come here with the golden lock. This girl is pleasing to the eyes of Bengong."

Ziwei anxiously came to see the queen with a golden lock, saluted, boldly raised her eyes slightly, and glanced at the queen, only to see that the queen was wearing a yellow flag dress, like Ye Qingsi, only held up by two simple hairpins, The simple attire made her less majestic in the past, but it did not damage her beauty. She still had a fair complexion and a beautiful face. When she was not looking at people, her eyes did not have the usual coldness, and she looked much softer. She turned her eyes to the two of them, and Ziwei and Jinsuo suddenly felt pressured.

"Ziwei, you should think carefully about what the emperor told you last time. Before you tell your plan, listen to it first.

Bengong said, the Tian family has the rules of the Tian family, not to mention the Tian family, even the big families outside, there are some things that cannot be done arbitrarily.You accept it. Once you have experienced many things in the future, you will know how correct the emperor's actions are. Don't forget what I said about your marriage before. This is a major event in your life. I can't guarantee that you did it. Everything is fine for Royal Princess, but if you don’t become Royal Princess, your future is slim, and there are more than [-]% possibilities. Don’t wait until the dust settles before regretting it. After all, the emperor is your father, and you should also be called Bengong. Say 'Emperor's Mother', and anyone who calls me 'Emperor's Mother', I will never treat you badly.Tell me what you think. "

Ziwei gritted her teeth, and said: "Empress, Ziwei depends entirely on the emperor and queen."

"Since this is the case, I will arrange it for you. Ziwei, how did you prepare for the birthday gift I mentioned last time? Have you decided what to give?"

Ziwei lowered her head and said: "When the empress is talking, Ziwei is going to embroider a picture of Songhe Yannian."

"Very well, you can concentrate on preparing the birthday ceremony and learning the rules of the palace. This palace will introduce you to the concubines you need to know in the palace at the right time. When everything is arranged properly, you will not only be Ziwei in Jinan, but the emperor." My daughter, from now on, you will call the emperor Huang Ama, and this palace as Huang Erniang, just like other princes and princesses." Qing Ting said with a smile, if Ziwei is sensible, she will not cause trouble in the future, and she does not mind treating her She is good.When Qing Ting thought of Ziwei's marriage, she thought of Fu Erkang. That day the emperor exiled Fu's family to Xinjiang, and she realized afterwards that the emperor didn't let them go to Xinjiang to plant trees, and the war was still going on there. As a military slave, she asked her nephew, and it turned out to be the case. In this way, the inexplicable "mountain has no edge, and heaven and earth are in harmony" between Ziwei and Fulkan was completely wiped out by the butterfly.Qing Ting's opinion: The mountain has no edges, it's not that I haven't seen it before, but it's a pity that the sky and the earth don't fit together if the mountains have no edges.

Ziwei showed a very grateful expression, and Jin Suo also showed joy.

"Zhu Xin, bring me the reward for Jinsuo. You can't find a good girl who is loyal and courageous. Jinsuo, Jinsuo, I hope you can really be a lock and protect your family." Qing Ting asked someone to fetch the golden lock as a reward. Everyone saw two bolts of palace satin, two bolts of palace gauze, and some jewelry.

Jin Suo didn't dare to accept it, not knowing why the queen rewarded him.

Rong Rong said with a smile: "Jin Suo, you can keep the queen's reward, and the master's reward is naturally because you have your own benefits. In the future, you must work harder and take good care of Princess, so don't let the master down."

Jin Suo knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "I thank the empress for the reward. The empress is so kind and virtuous. I will never forget this slave. I will take better care of Gege with all my heart in the future."

All this, including the conversation between Qing Ting and Nanny Rong, someone told the emperor, the emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard about it,

Empress Xindao is also interesting.

On their side, apart from a little shock before, it can be said that the situation was calm after that, and the emperor continued to work hard on state affairs.The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and he felt uncomfortable living in the palace. He took the queen and concubines to live in the Yuanmingyuan, and only then felt that discussing and criticizing memorials could make people feel refreshed.

The concubines are also willing to change the environment, but the emperor is still lukewarm to them, that's all right, after so long, there are newcomers joining, the emperor must have his own harem, the general election is not here yet, and there are also some palace ladies who are satisfactory, Qing Ting She doesn't mind at all, she just needs to use the next chapter to accept the worship of newcomers. It's too common to be in the palace all the time, and it will take time to climb up. When she became the concubine of the Nian Dynasty during Yongzheng, the emperor treated her very well and had no special favorites.All the concubines swore from the bottom of their hearts: You little rascals in the body of slaves, goddamned goblins.

Ziwei felt a little sad. Could it be that the emperor really doesn't value affection? Before seeing the emperor attaching great importance to the queen, he thought that he had at least a sincere affection for the queen, but so soon, only the newcomers laughed and the old ones didn't worry. This true affection is in the emperor's eyes. I'm afraid it's not that important.

Seeing that Ziwei was struggling, Qing Ting smiled and said: "You are also quite talented, why don't you know that 'the spring breeze and the autumn moon are leisurely, the years never leave people', thinking that some of these are wasted time, and besides, everyone who should care will mind, Why should you mind?"

Ziwei still couldn't let it go. Her parents had a good time back then, but the ending song was not as beautiful as she imagined. Could it be that time has changed?

Qing Ting didn't think as much as she did. When she was free, she went to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Old Summer Palace surrounded by mountains and rivers. She was in a rare good mood.

The author has something to say: It's time for the Empress Dowager to play.

Kong Sizhen is Heshuo Gege, and was not named Princess Heshuo.
