Returning the Pearl and the Reborn Emperor

Hanxiang has been in the palace for many days, and finally went to Kunning Palace to pay her respects. When she came, all the concubines were about to leave, but when they heard that the nobleman had come, she was surprised and thought of the rumors that had been spread in the palace yesterday. Although this matter was suppressed by the emperor and empress, when did the gossip stop spreading? Although it is not comprehensive, it is enough to know the key points. The emperor found out, so he was honest.As a result, the concubines who were about to leave stayed behind, ready to watch.

Everyone looked at him and the nobleman, dressed in a honey-colored flag dress, combing his hair twice, wearing the bottom of a flowerpot, slowly moved in.She was not used to wearing the bottom of the flowerpot, she moved slowly, and seeing other people looking at her with strange eyes, her actions were even more unnatural, and she saluted the queen awkwardly, only feeling her heart beating violently.

Qing Ting didn't want to embarrass her, but seeing her unwillingness, as if she had suffered a great grievance, she didn't want to let her go lightly.

This girl, if she doesn't suffer a little, she won't know how powerful she is. If she can be honest, she can save her life, otherwise, she can only be buried in this deep palace backyard.

Qing Ting didn't ask her to get up, and seeing that her body was trembling after a while, she said: "Your Majesty really doesn't know the rules in the palace. It seems that the nanny selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is really not good at things. Ning Palace did not inform you and your nobleman, no wonder the emperor asked me to personally teach you the rules of your nobleman, I will teach you the first thing first, greet you on time, you live far away, you have to get up earlier to catch up Time, young girls, don't snooze."

Hanxiang was extremely wronged, she didn't say a word, but her eyes were already slightly red.

Qing Ting said again: "Get up. I'm willing to change your clothes. I thought you didn't like the flag outfit I gave you. If you don't know, I will treat you badly." The emperor is not used to her, she Let's be honest, speaking of it, I have never suffered or suffered, and I really think it is only right for everyone to spoil her and love her.

Han Xiang suddenly said seriously: "Empress Empress, let me tell you frankly, it was not my intention to come to Beijing! (Check the original text, I don't make up the number of words)————Although I came, my heart didn't come , it is still in the south of the Tianshan Mountains, with us Uighurs. Everything I do now is for my father, for my people, and I put on the flag, not for anyone in the palace, but because I don't want to make things difficult for my father, and I don't suffer any hardships for my people."

Qing Ting sneered and said: "My lord, what you said has nothing to do with me. If you really have great reason, you shouldn't tell me. I advise you to put these words away and pass them on to the emperor's ears. I can't guarantee that you will be safe and sound. What do you mean, is it aggrieved for you to change your flag? I think it's inappropriate? You did this for your father and your people? I'm surprised, since It's for others, why do you want to fight against others, even if you do it, you look aggrieved, it seems that you don't want to enter the palace, so I send you

The father and clansmen who entered the palace wanted to put them to death all the time. "

Hanxiang quickly denied it, and said repeatedly: "No, no, I didn't..."

"No?" Qing Ting sternly said, "Look at what you said and what you did just now? How dare you say no. Concubine Ying, I have treated you badly for so many years, and even forbid you to wear Mongolian clothes. Robe, and let you call yourself a slave, speaking of it, Mongolia is much more important than Huibu, and there are so many nobles, this palace really treats you two too badly."

Concubine Ying and Duogui also knew what the queen meant, and they were very cooperative with the queen, and hurriedly stood up to plead guilty. Concubine Ying said, "I don't dare. I don't know about the affairs of the court, but there is a saying among the people, 'Marry a chicken with a chicken and marry a dog with a dog. ’, slaves are blessed to enter the palace, I am grateful in my heart, willing to serve the emperor and empress, how dare you be frivolous, if that is the case, slaves really deserve to die, the real Mongolian steppe will also be ashamed because of slaves.”

Many nobles also quickly stated their position, being able to live in the palace wearing a flag dress is a blessing that has been cultivated in eight lifetimes, and some people can't imagine it.

Qing Ting smiled and said: "I was confused for a while, and you said something that shouldn't be said, and you didn't remind me. Sister Rong, bring the butterfly hairpin and red musk bead, and count it as my gift." Yingfei and Duogui make amends."

Concubine Ying and the many nobles hurriedly said that they didn't dare, and Nanny Rong personally held the butterfly hairpin, walked up to Concubine Ying, and said with a smile: "Concubine Ying, the empress often says that only the beauty of the empress is worthy of this hairpin." The hairpin, the empress refused to accept it, so the old slave had to apologize to the empress on behalf of the empress."

Concubine Ying hurriedly said: "What did Nanny Rong say, empress, this really killed the servant."

The scene in front of her was so ashamed that her eyes filled with tears, and she gritted her teeth tightly so as not to shed tears.

Only then did Qing Ting say: "Sisters should leave too. Go with the nobles too. I still have palace affairs to deal with, and a married woman enters the palace to greet you. I don't have time to teach you the rules now. Wait for me to be free. , come again."

Han Xiang had no choice but to move out of Kunning Palace slowly, and the concubines looked at her with contempt and ridicule, and they said that it was Han Xiang who insulted themselves.

After finally returning to Baoyue Tower, she finally couldn't help crying, and Wei Na and Gina couldn't persuade her.

Dad, why are you so cruel to send your daughter into the palace.Meng Dan, where are you, you know how wronged I have been, do you know, do you feel distressed.

Han Xiang resentfully changed the clothes she put on, asked Wei Na and Gina to prepare bath water for her, and washed herself again and again.

Qing Ting knows that it is useless to suppress Hanxiang with force, and cynicism does not necessarily work. As for Gentle Persuasion, as long as the other party does not support her relationship, it will not work.

Now that he can honestly change into the flag and go to Kunning Palace to pay his respects, I am afraid that he is not only worried about his father, brother and clan, but mainly worried about Mengdan.

Qing Ting guessed right. Ever since the emperor knew about Mengdan's existence, Hanxiang had been terrified. Although Ali and Zhuo said that they were brother and sister, the emperor didn't believe him or disbelieve her. Worried about Meng Dan's injury, and now I don't know what the situation is. For a while, I thought about what to do if the emperor refused to let Meng Dan go.

On the second day, she had to get up early to go to Kunning Palace to pay her respects. She randomly picked out a flag dress and changed into it. She was wronged and asked the maid to brush her hair twice. If she didn't remember that she was going to pay her respects to the queen, she might cry again field.

Although she was mentally prepared, she still felt that she couldn't bear the humiliation in Kunning Palace.Since childhood, Hanxiang's family has held her in the palm of her hand. The biggest setback is not being able to be with her lover. Even if she elopes seven times, others still treat her as a treasure. This is the first time she has encountered such a thing.She cried and cried for a long time in Baoyue Tower, and no one came to comfort her except Gina and Wei Na. The mother waited for her tears to flow again and again, and told her coldly that the empress had half an hour to sleep after lunch. Time, we should take advantage of this time to go to Kunning Palace to ask the empress about the palace rules, otherwise, the empress will be busy again later.

Hanxiang was stunned: "Go again?"

"The emperor asked the nobles to follow the empress to learn the rules. Naturally, they must go. The empress arranges the time every day, handles the palace affairs, summons the wives who enter the palace to pay homage, worships the Buddha and chant scriptures, and educates Langege and Qinggege. , where there is still free time, the main reason is that I didn’t go early, missed the time, and disrespected the nobleman, the emperor blamed it, and no one can bear the responsibility.”

Hanxiang had no choice but to grab two bites of rice in a hurry, and then rushed to Kunning Palace, but was told that the empress and empress had kept two princes, Fujin, for dinner.The eunuch of Kunning Palace said with a smile: "My lord came early this time, and the empress has not finished her lunch, so please don't bother me."

Hanxiang's nose was sore, but she couldn't help it, and started to choke in Kunning Palace. Fortunately, she still remembered the word "fear" in her heart, so she tried not to make a sound.

Seeing Hanxiang like this, Zhao An quickly asked the maid to invite Hanxiang to the side hall, where she was crying, and when the two Fujin came out, they thought that the empress had done something to her.

Qing Ting stayed with her two sisters-in-law for dinner, and as soon as she sent them away, Zhao An reported that Han Xiang had come, he hesitated for a while, and told about Han Xiang crying.

Qing Ting frowned, and ordered the two maids to help her freshen up, and only let her in after she was finished.

Qing Ting held the Pu'er tea without raising her head, and said, "At this time, it's hard for you. My palace sees that your palace rules are unfamiliar, and you have to relearn your etiquette and manners. Sister Rong, tell the nobleman what to do." Salute and kowtow, it's okay to make mistakes in front of this palace, but it's no small matter to make mistakes in front of the emperor."

Mother Rong said: "Yes, master, this old slave will explain to the nobleman how to salute and kowtow." She went to

In front of Hanxiang, the voice was loud, talking about how to salute, how to kowtow, what to do when you see the empress dowager, what to do when you see the empress, what to do when you see the empress, what to do in front of other empresses, the status of a nobleman is not high, what to do when you see the princess You also have to salute.

After Nanny Rong finished talking about the theory, she had to put it into practice. She said that one step at a time should be done with Xiangxiang, and that with one step at a time, Nanny Rong had an opinion.

Qing Ting drank her tea and didn't care about Nanny Rong at all. She had reminded Nanny Rong before to be careful.

Nanny Rong has always taught maids, she has a lot of experience, she also has a lot of tricks to teach Hanxiang, since the master said not to bully her too much, she will not take the opportunity to hurt her, but she will never miss the opportunity to send Hanxiang to her door for repair , can't beat it with your hands, but secretly ridiculed that Nanny Rong is very good at it, it's okay if you don't do it well, it's okay, my master, you are troubled, do it three or four more times, my master, you can't dangle around like this, just like this First freeze and practice how to keep yourself from swaying.

Qing Ting was a little tired. After lunch every day, she would set aside half an hour for a lunch break to digest food. When the food was almost gone, she glanced to the left, and Shu Qing immediately knew what she meant, and motioned to Qiusi, and Together she helped Qing Ting into the side room, where Qing Ting leaned against the kang every day at noon, confused for a while, she thought that nothing would happen if Han Xiang was not allowed into the small black room, so As usual, rest in the ear chamber.

When Nanny Rong saw this, she lowered her voice so as not to disturb the queen.

Qing Ting was in a daze when she suddenly heard a noise outside, as if someone had smashed something, she was awakened immediately, it is a terrible thing to be awakened suddenly while sleeping, Qing Ting's heart was beating wildly, but She also asked the palace maid to help her tidy up quickly, and then she came out to see what was going on.

As soon as she came out, she saw the emperor sitting there with an angry face, and there was a broken teacup on the ground, Han Xiang stood there with a resolute expression.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Qing Ting was surprised.

"I woke you up, come and sit down, quickly serve the empress some soothing soup." The emperor repeatedly ordered.

Sitting next to the emperor, Qing Ting said: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter. It's nothing serious. You don't need Anshen Tang. It's just that the Emperor was angry just now. It was because I was lazy for a while. It's a big deal, I don't know who did something wrong just now, and provoked your anger so much, the emperor."

The emperor sneered and said: "I heard that I and the nobles are very dissatisfied with me, saying that I have made the people of the tribe miserable. Come and listen to me, what kind of unreasonable and stupid king I am."

When the emperor said this, Hanxiang secretly glanced at Qing Ting from time to time, and Qing Ting said in her heart: "Look at what I am doing, I didn't tell the emperor."Tsk tsk, this light red flag dress is no worse than your Hui clothes.

The emperor continued: "It's best if you didn't hear what you said just now, so as not to get angry again."

Lord

Seeing that the emperor's face was different from the past, Ting knew that the emperor was very angry, so she persuaded: "Your Majesty, you and your nobleman are just foolish people. There is a saying that'it is better to fight with a sensible person than to argue with a foolish person." You must listen to what she said. Don't take it to your heart." Qing Ting took the tea from the maid and held it in front of the emperor herself, "Your majesty, drink some tea to calm down your anger." Qing Ting wondered what Han Xiang said just now to make the emperor so angry. big fire.

The emperor took the tea from her hand, took a few sips, and said coldly: "This is the first time I have seen such a ignorant gift, who do you think you are, and you really think you are a respectable person?" , I’ve only been in the palace for a few days, and I haven’t learned anything else, and I can’t teach myself to act recklessly, criticize state affairs, and slander the empress.”

Han Xiang was afraid in her heart, but after being afraid for a long time, she became more courageous, her head became hot, and she thought that she would die anyway, but she would be clean after death, so she said: "Han Xiang didn't say anything wrong, as the queen of the mother world, He doesn’t treat people kindly, but he is mean. As an emperor, he doesn’t see the heart of benevolence, but he is aggressive. It doesn’t matter if I come to the palace to suffer. I’m just sad for my people. Tens of thousands of men have fought for the Qing Dynasty, and how many of them died on the battlefield."

Qing Ting probably guessed how Hanxiang annoyed the emperor, she almost said that the emperor was the reincarnation of Shang Zhou and Xia Jie, since she wanted to die, Qing Ting didn't care about her, anyway, the emperor would not send troops because of such an unknown woman, so it would be bad luck That is, the Hanxiang family.

The emperor suddenly became gloomy, and said coldly: "Empress, listen, this kind of unruly thing is blamed on others. With so many concubines in the harem, I really don't know who the empress has been mean to. You are not a noble person who can make irresponsible remarks. Let me ask you, your father, brother and uncle, is it not for their own sake, if it is not for the fact that the two rebellious officials and thieves, the size and the Zhuo, are not in the right place, and they broke up with the size and Zhuo before the army arrived , to save myself from the crime of rebellion, and I have never done them any harm. You may have asked your father, how much benefit I have given Ali and Zhuo's family to return to Xinjiang, hum, it is really ungrateful. Hezhuo was still a hostage in the Junggar tribe, but he didn’t feel grateful, so he found death and made it difficult for Daqing. I understand, you just want to provoke me, so that you can kill your relatives, clan members, and even the entire Hui tribe, because they sent you to the palace. I didn't let you go with the wind."

Hanxiang's face turned pale: "Bogda Khan, Your Majesty, that's not the case. I will not, never, ever be sorry for my relatives and clansmen. My heart has always stayed in Tianshan, with my relatives and clansmen. My heart is full of relatives and clansmen."

The emperor snorted and said: "I don't think so, who is in your heart, you know in your heart, from now on, make a promise with the nobleman, except for greeting the queen every day and learning the rules here, the rest of the time is confined to Baoyue Tower , Without my will, you are not allowed to take a step out of Baoyue Tower, I hate unruly people the most, and if you don’t obey the rules, you can’t teach them no matter how you teach them, and they will be useless waste.”

Qing Ting persuaded: "Your Majesty, after all, she is from Huijiang. Ali and Zhuo walked forward, but his daughter's position was lowered behind. I'm afraid it's not very good. Besides, she entered the palace with the nobleman not long ago, and I'm afraid I heard what others said. If you don't know what to say, you will be bold and reckless, and ask the emperor to show mercy, why not give her a chance."

The emperor smiled and said: "You are bothering, but when she arrives in the palace, she should be the same as the other concubines in the palace. How can she be different? If she hears nonsense, she can talk nonsense in front of me and you? What if other concubines Concubine, is there still life now? I have spared her lightly, what else do you want to do, if she can't learn to behave again, I will allow you to slap her in the face. Queen, the wind outside these days is not right, I really look at the evil door , I hope there will be no more messy winds outside, if there is still sand, I will not be allowed to do anything."

Han Xiang was taken aback, the meaning of the emperor's words - could it be that the emperor found Meng Dan?What does the emperor want to do, does he want to - but she can't ask directly, no man can be magnanimous to this kind of thing.

Hanxiang's blow was not over yet, as soon as she returned to Baoyue Tower, she learned that Gina and Weina had been taken away and sent to the Shenxing Department. The mother said blankly that the emperor and queen ordered, Gina, Weina Na's serving the master was unfavorable, and she was taken to the Department of Punishment to be punished.

Han Xiang hurriedly asked: "When will Gina and Wei Na come back?"

"He promised to be joking. There is no one in this palace who is punished and can come back to continue to serve the master. After being punished, he has resentment in his heart. How can he serve him close to him. In order to prevent the young master from being wronged, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent a new maid Come here, and promise to rest assured, she is definitely handsome and diligent." Mammy said with a smile on her face.

Han Xiang shook her head and said, "No, I don't want others, I just want Gina and Wei Na, let them come back, they won't hate me."

Who would take care of her promise that is not favored by the superiors? In a short time, she has been reduced from a noble person to a promise. I don't know what will happen in the future. Getting close to her to please her is undoubtedly asking for death, so there is no one in Baoyue Tower. No one took her words seriously. .

All of her old clothes were gone, too, except for those flag outfits she hated.Hanxiang was a little bit broken by the blows after waves. Ever since she was a child, no one has ever treated her like this, even those who served her didn't pay attention to her. Thinking of how many humiliations are waiting for her in the future, Rather than being humiliated while alive, it is better to die cleanly now. At least the emperor has not been lucky enough to be with her, so she is worthy of Mengdan now that she is dead.

Thinking about it this way, Hanxiang is really going to jump off Baoyue Tower.

Fortunately, Qing Ting thought of her coming out, and she had already warned her to keep an eye on Han Xiang all the time, this is something she can't bear, if she committed suicide, she would only ask them for someone.If there is a queen, who would dare to relax their vigilance, as expected, Hanxiang really wanted to die, but she was going to die, who would be buried with her, just as Hanxiang climbed onto the window, she was dragged down by the maids and eunuchs desperately.

When this matter was reported to the Queen, Qing Ting squinted her eyes and leaned against the lead.

On the pillow, he said: "Go and see if the emperor is not free. If he is free, let me tell you that in order to prevent and promise to seek death again, the palace has people seal the windows and search for scissors, porcelain and other things in Baoyue Tower. If the emperor thinks This move is inappropriate, I will think about it and think of other ways."

The person who took the order came back after a while, knelt in front of Qing Ting and said, "Empress Empress, the Emperor has said, this matter can be handled by Empress, as long as there is no nonsense with the promise."

Qing Ting then asked people to seal the windows above the first floor of Baoyue Building, and then asked people to search Baoyue Building. Sure enough, she found a dagger under Hanxiang's pillow. Hanxiang said that it was for her self-defense.

Do you need a dagger to defend yourself in the palace?No one dared to underestimate this matter, the dagger was delivered directly to the emperor, the emperor sneered, whoever makes him unhappy for a while, he will make him unhappy for the rest of his life.It is not impossible to kill Hanxiang immediately, but the lack of process is not enough to relieve the anger.

The emperor sent a message to Hanxiang: the wind is evil outside, don't get dizzy, death is easy, but it takes the emperor's words to die.

Hanxiang was completely wilted, the only thing she was worried about was Mengdan, as for her family members, she had to hand them over to the true god.

It's a pity that the true god can't change her fate. She still has to go to Kunning Palace to pay her respects and learn the rules. The rest of the time she just sits in Baoyue Tower, with no one to talk to. Death is not an option, Hanxiang doesn't understand why she has to suffer this kind of crime, but no one can explain it to her.

In her case, Qing Ting has some ideas. It is understandable that Hanxiang has her first love, but she should not let her previous emotions affect her current life at the wrong time. There is also a reason why Meng Dan suddenly appeared and wanted to rob her, but this matter After the incident, Hanxiang's actions were the main reason for angering the emperor and her.In the palace, apart from the empress dowager who recuperates in Yingtai, the biggest one is the emperor and empress. Hanxiang offended both of them, who would treat her well? There are not a few people who have Han Xiang's foot. There are not many rules for being a nobleman, and even fewer promises.

In Qing Ting's eyes, she has no sympathy, as long as she doesn't die in Baoyue Tower, she will ignore it.

Qing Ting "teached" the rules of Hanxiang for a few days, Qing Ting felt chest tightness and was lazy to eat. Everyone in the palace said that it was Hanxiang, so the people in Baoyuelou abused her even more.

At this time, the pure imperial concubine couldn't bear it any longer.

The emperor is busy these days whether to allow inland people to farm in Xinjiang, because Xinjiang is not suitable for all crops to grow, and choosing the wrong crops will damage the local environment, so it is necessary to formulate corresponding laws and regulations for crop planting. I just finished discussing this with the courtiers. When the matter happened, I was feeling at ease, when someone reported that Concubine Chun had passed away, and Yongzhang fainted on the spot from crying.

The emperor hurried over, and was about to order the queen to settle the matter, but seeing the queen's face, he swallowed the words again

Go, you can't exhaust the queen because of the pure imperial concubine.

After all, the pure imperial concubine gave birth to the royal family, and she is also an imperial concubine. The funeral etiquette is different from other imperial concubines.
