This night, both Fujin of Prince Yi's Mansion and Prince Xun's Mansion received the same question from her husband: Has anything happened in the capital, especially the palace, in the past month?

Especially Fourteenth Master, said directly: "Emiang seems to be full of evil fire, could it be that I touched a hot stove?" He was brought up by the queen mother when he was young, so he knows Emiang's temper very well.Ordinarily, when he came back from other places, and he didn't see each other for more than a month, even if he said a sentence or a half wrong, the queen mother should not be willing to reprimand him, but today his face turned pale.

Princess Xunjun pursed her lips and said happily: "Didn't the master rush to the hot stove?"

As the empress dowager's own daughter-in-law, the Fourteenth Fujin entered the palace more and talked a lot with the empress dowager, so he was clear about the lawsuits in the palace these days.

The pillow talk between husband and wife is also casual, Princess Xunjun leans in the ear of the Fourteenth Lord, and tells how the newcomer entered the palace ten days ago, how the noble concubine Nianshi cleverly calculated and learned the rules to stop the newcomer in the Chuxiu Palace, and how the queen mother was placed by the noble concubine It was an unspeakable pain, and the emperor hadn't flipped the card for ten days and said it all over again.

The fourteenth master kept pounding the soft pillow in the tent: "Sure enough, today I first received a few words of instruction from the emperor in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and even eating snacks was a mistake. Chu made some sarcastic remarks for no reason, and it turned out to be Nian Shi's fault!"

She became even angrier as she spoke: "How dare she still cheat Er Niang secretly? This palace rule was newly compiled by Er Niang under her name, but she is a noble concubine, but she is so presumptuous that she uses the new palace rules as an arrow to kill her. Are the girls closed?"

"It's just like her domineering brother!"

Nian Gengyao is a person who looks up to the sky. Before the emperor ascended the throne, the Fourteenth Lord was just a son. He was not bad but not the first-class prince. When Nian Gengyao saw him, it was like looking at the scenery. No respect at all.

In Nian Gengyao's opinion, there are a lot of princes, but he is the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi and there is only one.

There are even nine officials at the governor level in the whole court, and he is more precious than the prince.Nian Gengyao even thought, if he made such a big gift, no one but the emperor would dare to accept it?Are you not afraid of ruining your luck?In Nian Gengyao's eyes, others should salute him.

With Fourteen's temper, Nian Gengyao has long been annoyed in his heart, and now that he hears about the noble concubine, Fourteenth Master will explode even more.

Princess Xunjun hurriedly held him down: "This is an inner court matter. If you go out and say something, you will tell me to end badly!" Only then did Master Fourteen stop.

But Prince Yi's mansion is much more dull. Princess Yi has a stable temperament. These days, she has heard some rumors of unrest in the palace (from her husband's good sister-in-law who is on a business trip together), so she doesn't go into the palace at all. water.

When I talked to Prince Yi, I only said some news that everyone knew, and then said considerately: "I know that the Lord is thinking of Guerjia Dutong's affection, but if I ask more questions at this moment, I'm afraid I won't believe you." A noble person will become a thorn in the eyes of others. Don't worry, Lord, I will always enter the palace every New Year's day. If the nobleman has really suffered some hardships, for the sake of the Lord, I will definitely help if I can."

Thirteenth Master nodded, expressing his reassurance for Fujin.

Princess Yi also mentioned that because the emperor punished many middle and lower level officials in the past ten days, many pleading posts were sent to Prince Yi's mansion. Of course Fujin didn't care about it, but this time he also told the Thirteenth Master .

The Thirteenth Master really only shook his head: "What are you doing with them? This is the imperial brother's Qing Dynasty. Those out-of-time moths should be eliminated early! I still expect the Lord to intercede for them, and I can't do it in 100 years!"

Then he sighed again: "It turns out that the family is in trouble. The saying that the family is in harmony with everything is true. You don't know, Brother Huang seems to have the toughest temper, but in fact he cares about the relationship in his heart-I said, Huang Brother, something is wrong today, I have only been away from Beijing for more than a month, and it seems that the vicissitudes have changed."

Yes, it's the vicissitudes of life, he finally came up with the right words.

Although in the eyes of Prince Yi, it is good for the emperor to look at the same appearance, but he just thinks that the fourth brother has gone through many vicissitudes, alas, the emperor also has to be splinted.

Presumably it was due to a disagreement in the inner court, the emperor was in a dilemma between his favorite concubine and the empress dowager's mother, so he must have put all his energy into the court.

Tomorrow when I enter the palace, I need to comfort my fourth brother again.

Emperor Yongzheng pondered.

Today, when the Thirteenth Lord arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he was followed by two imperial physicians, who came here to explain to the emperor that his legs and feet were fine, so as to comfort the emperor's nightmare.The emperor listened carefully to the imperial physician's report, and then pointed to one of the imperial physician Mao who was specialized in orthopedics and said, "I will hand over the bones of Prince Yi to you, you can think about it yourself."

Doctor Mao was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, kowtowed again and again to promise: as long as his legs are still there, Prince Yi's legs are guaranteed to be fine.

Prince Yi thought in his heart: The fourth brother believed in Buddhist mantras more than other brothers since he was a child. It's strange that he cares so much about a nightmare.

Thinking about the embarrassment these days among the empress dowager and the imperial concubine, and thinking about himself, the thirteenth master was filled with gratitude and moved.

The emperor cared about him, so he naturally cared about the emperor wholeheartedly.After the Imperial Physician retired, Prince Yi stayed behind to enlighten the Emperor, carefully persuading him to bow his head to the Empress Dowager.

Besides, Prince Yi's consolation made the emperor think deeply.

The thirteenth brother didn't seem to be surprised at Concubine Nian's behavior of covering the sky with one hand in the harem.A noble concubine cheated the queen mother, bypassed the queen, and put all the rookies and beautiful women in confinement. In the eyes of Emperor Yongzheng, this was obviously an act of arrogance.It's just that he can't rectify the harem for the time being, so he ignores it and postpones the disposal.

But in Shisankou, such an arrogance seems to be normal because it was done by Concubine Nian.

Thirteen even thought that he was under pressure from the queen mother, so he couldn't see the imperial concubine for ten days.

Emperor Yongzheng was really a little surprised: Did "I" favor Nian so much before?

After Shisan left, the emperor got up: the matter was at hand, no matter how annoying he felt, he had to do it, he had to go to the harem to see the queen.

The emperor hadn't entered the harem for ten days, and hadn't summoned even any of the concubines. Now, as soon as he entered the harem, he went to the empress.

Although the Yikun Palace where the noble concubine Nian lives is divided into the sixth east and west palaces from the Zhongcui Palace where the empress lives, she is very well informed.

Even if he told himself in his heart that when the emperor went to see the queen, he must have something serious to talk about, and it must not be a meeting out of affection, Nian felt as if he was boiled in a pot of jealousy.

Originally, on this day, the imperial concubine was in a good mood - the examination papers of the newcomers in Chuxiu Palace were delivered directly to her, and she took a pen to mark the papers, giving most of them a failing grade.

Looking at the page full of red crosses, the imperial concubine felt at ease.

In Zhongcui Palace, the empress ordered the maids to put the completed examination papers sent by Yikun Palace on the Kang table under the south window.

If the emperor is willing to stay for a cup of tea, he must rest on the kang in front of the eaves.

It just happened to let the emperor see what weird questions the imperial concubine has asked—according to the strict examination method of the imperial concubine, I am afraid that the beautiful girls of the Chuxiu Palace will not be able to come out for a year!

The queen was really a little angry: the imperial concubine did not report to her this time from the exam questions to the approval of the papers, and finished it by herself.

She is a queen, so it is impossible to chase after the concubines and have a lot of work. There are hundreds of things in the palace every day. Sometimes she also delegates to concubine Qi or concubine Xi to do it, but the other concubines, Even Concubine Qi, who was the most experienced and didn't deal with her very well in the palace, would take the initiative to offer a procedure for her to decide.

The queen is the leader of the ruling, and the concubines are just employees who handle affairs.

It won't be like a noble concubine, who finished everything by herself, and finally sealed up the approved examination papers and sent them to the queen, and ordered the palace servants to pass the words: "Although the empress is kind, I don't know that these young concubines are just I'm just prevaricating and lazy, please take a look, they may go out to meet people after learning the rules? Aren't they the ones who lost the Forbidden City?"

The queen was really angry: the imperial concubine almost pointed at her face.And it's not that I personally came here to point it out, but I only sent an ordinary eunuch from Yikun Palace to spread the word!Who is the queen and who is the concubine? !

The queen immediately ordered someone to detain the eunuch who sent the message, and sent it to the House of Internal Affairs for disobedience, and then sent her own palace servants to convey the news to the noble concubine, but the eunuch was poor and became cannon fodder.

Unexpectedly, after noon, Su Peisheng suddenly came to Zhongcui Palace to deliver a message, saying that the emperor would come over soon.

The queen was startled when she heard this.Could it be that he sent an ordinary eunuch in the imperial concubine's palace, and the emperor will come to hold him accountable?

She was shocked, but because of the great anger in her heart, the queen was a little bit on the top, but she was not afraid, and even thought that if the emperor actually came to ask her for a slave, then let Concubine Nian be the head of the house!

Gong Mei, the palace maid, silently set out the 'Chuxiu Palace Examination Paper', leaving Xue Ya and Bai Hao to serve beside the queen, all looking at the queen with some concern.

They were really afraid that the emperor and empress would argue.

Moreover, they were also wronged by the empress.In the past year, the concubine spent countless efforts in mediating and arranging those concubines. From the concubine Yi onwards, none of the concubines were easy to get along with. This palace is full of people from the late emperor's time. It is not uncommon for slaves to deceive their masters.

What was the concubine doing at that time?She just served the emperor as a favorite concubine, and even the Nian family got the honor of carrying the flag.

The security of the harem is now taken care of by their masters, but the emperor is fine. During the New Year, he suddenly said that the queen was too hard, so he turned around and asked the concubine to assist the six palaces. It is called the queen to rest and leave the ordinary things to the concubine. It's good to be in charge by yourself, but in fact it is to establish the prestige for the noble concubine.

Let Xue Ya see, the hardest thing for the Empress is to endure such a noble concubine!

But... behind the imperial concubine is the emperor, Xue Ya is worried, fearing that the already weak relationship between husband and wife between the emperor and empress will regenerate a rift.

This is not the prince and Fujin of the palace, this is the palace.

The Qing Dynasty was not without an emperor who had been deposed, or a noble concubine who had never been named a queen—the story of Empress Xiaoxian Dong E’s is still resonant.

When the emperor came in, he looked at the queen who greeted him, and forgot to call out for a while.

He could hardly remember the queen's face.

In fact, the queen passed away only four years earlier than him. What he couldn't remember clearly was not her sick and withered face before she passed away, but her thirty years of age, her phoenix was upright, her face was delicate, and her face was full of vivid emotions. Annoyed queen.

Such a lively, his first wife was decades ago.

The emperor was immersed in the memory for a while, but the queen saw that the emperor didn't cry out, so she still bowed her knees, and the fire in her belly became more intense: don't you ask me, the queen, to get up?Your Majesty, you are here to vent your anger on Concubine Nian, aren't you!

The empress at this moment is in line with Lord Thirteen's thoughts: the emperor doesn't visit the noble concubine these days, it's just because of the empress dowager's pressure, he may miss it, and he wants to vent his anger on others!

Fortunately, the emperor's mind was only distracted for a moment, and he was thinking about the old things, and his heart was touched, so he stretched out his hand to help the queen himself: "Get up." The tone was quite gentle.

The queen was stunned, and Xue Ya and others who were ready to kneel down and kowtow at any time to beg 'the emperor to appease his anger' were also a little confused.

When the emperor and empress entered the room, the maids were busy serving tea without waiting for orders, hoping that the emperor would stay in the empress palace for a while longer.

Originally, the emperor wanted to talk more with the empress, and to take care of the mess in the harem, so he walked to the front eaves kang under the south window, sat cross-legged in front of the kang table, and waited for the empress to sit opposite and talk.

It happened that when I lowered my head, I saw a stack of papers under the incense burner, and there were traces of vermilion outlines on it. The emperor inevitably took it and said casually: "Although you don't burn incense very much here, this purple gold burner is just a decoration. But the written paper is pressed under the incense burner, it’s no joke if it catches on.”

After flipping through it roughly, the emperor suddenly frowned: "What kind of a mess is this answer!"
