The weather was getting colder, and as the Queen Mother passed down the order to change the fur clothes, the officials of all sizes changed into the winter clothes that had been prepared a long time ago. The jewelry of the concubines in the harem and the embroidery on the clothes were also changed according to the season , This is also one of the characteristics of ancient life. Everything has a certain system, and the levels are clearly differentiated. It seems very unfair and unequal, but the public unfairness and inequality are always more real than the fictional fairness and equality.

Every year before winter, Qing Ting has to make winter clothes for her children. She has always been cautious and never lets others handle the items she needs except her own cronies. Lan Xin and Qing Er often come to do it with her Needlework, along the way to learn some common sense that the housekeeper will use in the future, because of the cold weather, Qing Ting did not ask Concubine Ying Xin to bring the two little princesses over.Concubine Wan accidentally caught cold after winter, and Ziwei was sick all day long, except for coming to pay her respects every morning, she rarely came to Kunning Palace at other times.

Sometimes the emperor came to consult with Qingting about palace affairs, and when he saw her needlework, he would pick it up and look at it, praising her for her handiness. They are more and more respectful to each other.

Mrs. Nala went to the palace to invite Ann to see her daughter. Seeing the queen's expression was relaxed, she knew that her daughter was living a comfortable life. She also heard that the twelve princes had made progress in their studies and had been praised by the emperor. She was very happy.Because Tu Ming'er's wife is pregnant, he can't help but say this.

"Brother Ming's daughter-in-law can eat more than before. A few days ago, she kept saying that she was weak and often dizzy. Did the imperial doctor see it? What did you say? How is it now?"

"Thanks to my mother, I'm much better now. I drank two bowls of soup in a row yesterday. The imperial doctor said that brother Ming's daughter-in-law has blood deficiency. It's best to slowly adjust and nourish her food. Another prescription has been prescribed. Now Seeing that his face became rosy, his dizziness was much less."

"Hearing what Er Niang said, I feel much more relieved, let her take care of her slowly, don't think too much, young people are inexperienced, it is inevitable to panic. By the way, Er Niang, don't ignore the other two daughters-in-law. Don't push too hard, the third daughter-in-law is a new daughter-in-law, and it's okay not long after she got married, but the second daughter-in-law has been in the house for a few years, don't be worried at this time, if you feel uncomfortable in your heart, it will be even more difficult, and my mother will have to work hard Come on, comfort them both."

"What the empress said is that everything can be prosperous with family harmony. In a big family, it is right for the elders and younger generations, and between sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law, to get along with each other in harmony. They all say that Lin'er is a gift from God, and that heirs are determined by God. If you are in a hurry, you can have it, the empress can rest assured about the affairs of the house, and the empress should also take care of her body when she is in the palace."

Qing Ting smiled and said, "I understand what Er Niang means, but I'm already at this age. Instead of dreaming, it's better to leave the opportunity to others."

Seeing this, Mrs. Nala boldly said: "Your Majesty, don't be discouraged, who knows how God will arrange it. On weekdays, Your Majesty eats fast and recites Buddha, does good deeds and accumulates virtues, God will definitely remember your kindness."

Qing Ting didn't care, and said with a smile: "

Er Niang, I have a son and a daughter now, so why not be dissatisfied, besides, which prince or concubine is not allowed to call me 'Emperor Niang'?People, contentment and happiness are the only blessings. "

The old lady Nala wanted to say something, but after all, in the palace, she had to be scruples about speaking, so she had to echo a few words, but she wanted to go back and find some nourishing prescriptions, so that her daughter could make up for it. People have to sigh, the chances of getting pregnant are getting less and less, and the rare possibility should be cherished, and it will be safer to have an elder brother and queen and Nala's family.If the empress really can't have one, it can only rely on the ability of the Nala family in the court. What is worrying is that the twelfth elder brother is too young, and now that he has the emperor's favor, he is afraid that some people will play tricks.

Qing Ting knew what the old lady Nala meant, but she was over 40 years old, and she had long since stopped thinking about him. Moreover, it seemed that her fate with her children was weak. She had married Shen Shihao for several years in her previous life, and she had two children with great difficulty. Now, the situation between her and the emperor is not as good as it was with Shihao back then, and it may be even more difficult for her children.After the old lady Nala left, Qing Ting sat quietly for a while, and then asked someone to fetch the "Jingfa" to read.

After a while, the emperor sent someone to pass the news, and this time the empress Nala's brand was overturned.

Nanny Rong hastily called Qiu Si, Shu Qing, Ling Xi, and Ru Zhen to make preparations quickly to welcome the emperor's arrival in the evening.Qing Ting only said: "Dinner should not be too greasy or too plain, cook some stove dishes that the emperor likes."

Mother Rong smiled and said: "Empress, the Emperor's preferences are known to Kun Ning Palace, so you can rest assured, master, you put this book down first, and this old servant will let you dress up, look, Do you want to change your clothes, the color of the one on your body is darker, and you can change it to a brighter one, the emperor will feel at ease looking at it."

Qing Ting put down her book and said with a smile: "Nurse Rong, look at how busy you are, I'm not a 20-year-old girl, no matter how you dress up, you can't compare to those bright flowers in the palace."

Nanny Rong had already asked the maid who combed her hair to prepare, and picked out several clothes for the queen to choose from. Qing Ting couldn't bear to flatter her kindness, so she had to change the headdress casually, and changed into a flag dress with brighter colors.

The emperor saw that although the queen's make-up was light today, it was more delicate, and she was wearing a light-colored flag dress, which made her more energetic and less serious. The emperor couldn't help but take a second look and saw the plum blossoms on her head The hairpin was slightly taken aback. "The plum blossom hairpin on your head looks familiar, as if you've seen it before."

Qing Ting touched the plum hairpin on her head with her hand, and said, "Your Majesty, this is an old thing that honored the Empress Xian. The Emperor forgot that you gave me the hairpin back then, and asked me to keep it well."

After hearing this, the emperor took off the hairpin from her head, looked at it in his hand, and inserted it between her hair again. "Your aura is also suitable for it—I—I didn't give it to the wrong person." It is indeed an old item of filial piety to Empress Xian, and now I suddenly see it, it is really a different thing.

Seeing that he was feeling a little melancholy, Qing Ting didn't point it out.

, I know in my heart that he misses Empress Xiaoxian. Compared with Qianlong and Empress Xiaoxian, Empress Xiaoxian is irreplaceable and incomparable to him. In Qianlong's heart, he can still be a wife, but in his heart, he is just Queen only.

The emperor noticed his momentary gaffe, smiled and chatted with the empress, saying that the snow fell late this winter.

Just after I said a few words, a palace official came over to report: Not long ago, Yi Chang Zai, who was promoted from a palace maid to Chang Zai, had a miscarriage.

Both the emperor and the empress were taken aback, Qing Ting recovered and asked what happened. "I haven't heard that Yichang is in Youxi before. Why did you have a miscarriage so suddenly? Concubine Qing and Xuan's imperial physician?"

The palace man replied: "Returning to the empress, I didn't know that Yichang Zai was happy before. The imperial doctor said that the time was short, the fetal breath was unstable, and Yichang's body was weak, so I—"

Qing Ting sighed and said: "I see, unfortunately, so is Concubine Qing, why don't you take good care of her, Your Majesty, I'll go and have a look." This is the emperor's first child in this life, maybe he will take it very seriously, Qing Ting can't help it. Do not make a statement.

But the emperor said: "Your health is not very good. It's freezing in the sky, and you are always there. Where does your empress work so hard? You can reward what you should."

Qing Ting still said: "Your Majesty, I can't help but care about the heirs of the royal family."

The emperor sighed, and said: "It is God's will, and it is hard to say that it is not a blessing to have no fate with the royal family."

Having said that, the emperor frowned and was absent-minded when eating. Seeing this, Qing Ting had to pick up the emperor's favorite dishes, and advised the emperor to use more and take care of the dragon's body.

The meal was boring, the emperor used to talk about Buddhism with Qing Ting, but today he was unusually silent, too lazy to speak.Qing Ting knew that although she was just a child who was always there, as a human being again, this child seemed a bit special, and after experiencing rebirth in the first life, she would inevitably think a little more, so sitting quietly with the emperor was not a problem. Talk too much.

Although the emperor didn't have much reaction to this matter, the empress still regretted it for a while, and then had a fit of concubine celebration, which made her look at her face for a few days.

This matter just passed, the empress dowager sighed, and said a few words that the royal family should spread its branches and leaves. Qing Ting reckoned that the empress dowager hadn't hit enough nails, and wanted to make something for the emperor.Ever since Qing Ting heard that the emperor ordered Yingtai to be repaired, she guessed what the emperor wanted to do.Originally thought that the Empress Dowager would calm down for a while, but after her actions, Qing Ting could only say that she was digging her own grave.

The Niu Gulu family, regardless of their relationship with the Empress Dowager, has recently become more and more foreign wives who are qualified to hand over cards to enter the palace to pay their respects. Not only they come, but they are also accompanied by a young girl, as young as five or five years old. Six years old, nine or ten years old, either silent and shy, or generous and decent. Coincidentally, they have a high chance of "encountering" Yong Xing and Yong Xing. The two princes are still young, so there is no need to shy away from them. little girl like that

We got to know each other, although due to etiquette we can't have a deep friendship, but that's how many childhood sweethearts were born.

Qing Ting frowned, is this the woman who wants to give to her son Seniu Colu?Although the children are young, but if you are not sure, just save your thoughts. In a few years, girls will be able to participate in the draft, and boys will be able to let people into the house. It is impossible to guarantee that it will be allowed.

Qing Ting's complexion darkened, and she became more and more courageous. If the Empress Dowager Mother thinks too much, she will often lose more than she gets. Besides, this person is tired of her in her heart. It's such a comfortable life that she forgot to be cautious.If they were all like her, the palace wouldn't be in chaos. As a queen, neither the Fucha clan, nor the Nala clan, nor Qing Ting herself had brought any girls from her clan into the palace. The elder brother of the right age is in front of his eyes. The prince's marriage will implicate the situation and strength of the court. The queen mother and queen mother can't afford the consequences.

Qing Ting is not too talkative, she just pays attention to whether the two children are affected, and she waits for the emperor to make a decision on the rest.

The emperor was very clear about the empress dowager's thoughts and means. The older Niu Gulu became, the more confused she became. The emperor remembered that Niu Gulu was not like this back then, and maybe there were people suppressing her at that time, so she couldn't get arrogant.

The emperor didn't say anything to the empress, he just went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to drink tea, and after a cup of tea, he said slowly: "I often hear people in the palace call the queen's mother "Lafayette", and the three "Lafayette" The meaning of the word is extraordinary, I am afraid it cannot be used lightly."

The empress dowager never expected that the emperor would mention this matter. She was surprised, but her face was slightly calm, and she said: "Emperor, this is still the emperor's birthday on Aijia's birthday. Flattering the Ai family, calling the Ai family Lafayette, I didn't expect that by now, the palace is used to calling it, in fact, the emperor didn't say it, and the Ai family also felt that it was inappropriate, so they simply banned calling Ai family like that from now on."

The emperor nodded: "What Huang Erniang said is quite right, I will speak according to what Huangerniang wants."

The empress dowager is angry, recently this son treats her worse than before. "Emperor, Ai's family has been restless recently. He feels that the emperor has become estranged from Ai's family. Ai's family is puzzled. Could it be that this old bone of Ai's family has done something wrong and offended the emperor?"

The emperor thought to himself: You are more than annoying. "The empress is overwhelmed. I'm just too busy. If the empress feels bored, all the concubines in the harem can accompany the empress. Otherwise, the empress will talk to the empress about Buddhism. How much does the empress know about Buddhism?" Separate opinions."

The Empress Dowager said coldly: "If I had known this, the Ai family should have stayed in Mount Wutai to worship the Buddha, and it would be more comfortable than returning to the palace."

The emperor filtered the tea leaves with a tea cover, and said: "The words of the emperor's mother reminded me that the emperor's mother once made a wish to the Buddha, willing to pray for my Qing Dynasty,

I worshiped Buddha on Mount Wutai for one year, but the Queen Mother returned to the palace in less than a year. As a royal, you must not lose your trust in the world. As the most honorable empress dowager in the Qing Dynasty, you should not lose your trust in Buddha, and your heart is not sincere. , Buddha will blame. "

The empress dowager was surprised, and asked in a trembling voice: "Emperor, do you want Aijia to go to Mount Wutai now? Since the emperor dislikes Aijia so much, Aijia might as well go back to Shengjing and never come back, otherwise it won't hinder the emperor's eyes. "

The emperor said slowly: "The emperor's mother said so, which made her son feel ashamed. Now the weather is cold and it is not suitable to travel far, and let the emperor's mother go to Mount Wutai. I am also worried. Why not move to Yingtai, one can do it." Respecting the Buddha with peace of mind, the second is to let the queen mother rest well. There are too many and complicated things that happened in the palace this year. Maybe there are too many bad luck in the palace. For the sake of the queen mother's jade body, it is better to move to Yingtai Ignore these troublesome things, and avoid bad luck." It's better not to worry about it, do what you shouldn't do, make the palace a mess, and save the emperor and princes with women.

The empress dowager was completely stunned. Is the emperor going to put her under house arrest?Her own son wants to put her under house arrest?The empress dowager's body trembled. This was her son who had the reputation of being the most dutiful son in the world: "Emperor, you...you...how can you..."

The emperor ignored her and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Yingtai Zhen has already been repaired, and Madam Huang must have known about it. The scenery there is pleasant, but it is a good place to recuperate. , just to cultivate one's body and mind, and also to avoid being affected by the bad luck in the palace."

When the emperor left the Compassionate Ning Palace, he felt refreshed, and finally he didn't have to come here every day to put on a show, and he didn't need to call this woman "Emperor Niang".

Qing Ting felt that this matter was done in a hurry, and the timing was not good. In line with the queen's professional ethics, Qing Ting had to speak to persuade the emperor. "Your Majesty," Qing Ting persuaded, "I know your whole heart, but you see, how long is it before the New Year's Eve, at this moment, all kinds of festivals, big and small, have to bow down in front of the Queen Mother Yes, you said, at this time, if the Queen Mother moved to Yingtai, wouldn't people outside suspect and misunderstand the Emperor's intentions? Besides, if Qing'er went to Yingtai to practice with the Queen Mother, a young girl with Buddhist scriptures and beads would touch her. Too much is taboo."

The emperor nodded and said: "What you said is also reasonable, but you can let the concubines and wives go to Yingtai to set the rules. When there is no empress dowager in the palace, can't you celebrate the big and small festivals? Just don't bother the empress too much." Recuperate. Qinger, let Qinger stay with you until the beginning of next year, and move to the North Fifth Institute in the spring, she is old enough to discuss marriage, don't delay her life just because the empress dowager is happy."

Qing Ting could only persuade a few more words, and seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, she talked about He Wan's matter again: "The person who was sent to the princess mansion just now came back and said that He Wan's health is not very good these days."

When the emperor heard about it, he was a little worried: "A while ago, I saw her enter the palace to pay her respects, and she was always like this.

How was the prescription prescribed. "

Qing Ting comforted him: "I heard from the imperial physician that as long as you pay more attention and continue to take the medicine, it will be fine this winter. As long as you take good care of it until spring, you will be much better."

The emperor sighed: "The daughters of the royal family look bright, but in fact they all have their own sufferings. Although Hewan has been well-clothed and well-fed these years, he has not had a comfortable life. Empress, take care of Hewan. , I asked the imperial doctor to take a look. Also, how is Concubine Chun doing these days?"

"Sister Chunfei is still the same, the imperial doctor said, take care of her with peace of mind, she will be fine within a few months."

"There is also an elderly concubine in the palace. You need to take care of these things." The emperor knew that these two people had not many days to come, and felt a little depressed, feeling that life and death were impermanent. powerless.

Qing Ting agreed and asked someone to make arrangements.

After a while, the green-headed card was brought up by the little eunuch. The emperor glanced at the empress who had no expression, and flipped over a card. Qing Ting saw that it was the Cheng concubine Niu Colu. It seemed that the emperor saw her assessing the situation, not a confused people.

Whether it's Qianlong or the emperor, she doesn't particularly care about being with other women, especially Qianlong, who doesn't care at all, which is completely opposite to Shen Shihao's attitude, perhaps, this is the difference between love and not love.

When Qing Ting was sleeping alone at night, she suddenly remembered that Shen Shihao's former lovers, except for Hua Yuerong who hadn't had time to clean up, none of them had a good end.Because of this, she thought of the concubines in the harem, and also thought of the emperor, and she felt like gnashing her teeth.

Shu Qing, who was on guard at night, heard the queen tossing and turning on the bed, and it was only at midnight that she became confused.

What reassures Qing Ting is that at the end of the year, there has been no good news from the concubines in the palace. Concubines who are not pregnant are relatively peaceful and honest.

However, this year's New Year is a bit special. The empress dowager moved to Yingtai suddenly, and everyone inside and outside the palace felt puzzled, but seeing that the emperor and empress did not express anything special, and it was rumored that the empress dowager wanted to fulfill the wish she had made before. On the surface, it seems nothing special, but the people of Niu Yulu's family are no longer the same as before. They dreamed that their daughter would be valued by the queen and elder brother. In the future, they would fly on a branch and become a phoenix when they were married. The emperor said, The empress dowager wants to rest, and don't disturb her old man casually.There are people in the palace and outside the palace, and everyone will connect the ins and outs of the matter in their hearts to think carefully, and find out some reasons why the superiors can't say it. Filial piety, kindness, this matter is quite strange, related to what happened this year, and some things I heard from the palace before, some people have an idea, in this case, let the empress dowager rest quietly and worship the Buddha , Royal matter, where outsiders like them are expected to remove this fish head.
