Zong Qiongyao's Haoxiang

--

After agreeing to the young boy Yongzheng to be his private teacher, Haoxiang worked at the Tai Hospital during the day and taught Yongzheng at his elder brother at night.Haoxiang didn't teach him the Four Books and Five Classics (those Shangshufang are teaching, there is no need for him to waste his time again), but taught him to read history books and 'Books of the World'.

The ancients said: "With copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; with history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs; with people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses." The two books Haoxiang teaches Yongzheng have exactly this purpose.

That night, the boy Yongzheng returned to the palace early to wait for his secret master.While waiting, he thought about the last time Haoxiang was exposed as not being a fairy, and the more he thought about it, the happier he felt.I originally thought Brother Hao was an exile-like figure who could only be admired by others, but I didn't expect that he would have times when he was obviously embarrassed but pretended not to care.

After what happened last time, Yongzhen knows that Haoxiang is not a god in the sky, but he also knows that Haoxiang is not an ordinary person.Although Haoxiang appears to be the concubine of Shuo Wangfu who has left the palace and the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital, he never avoids him when he casts spells.The most martial arts practitioners Yongzhen knows can go up and down, but it is unheard of for someone who can completely 'float' in the air like Haoxiang.Although he is curious, Yong Xin will not ask the truth without knowing what is going on, and this is what Haoxiang appreciates.

After waiting for a while, Yongzhen saw Haoxiang's shadow, and it was indeed a shadow!Haoxiang's faint phantom flashed, and Yongxin realized that he was no longer in the room.Yongzhen heard the wind in his ears, looked around, and found that he was being carried by Haoxiang and was walking in the air, and then looked down, only to see that the people below were smaller than ants, so he hurriedly hugged Haoxiang with both hands in fright. Xiang's neck.

"Brother Hao?" There was still panic in the child's voice.

"Hehe, don't be afraid." Feeling that Yongzhen was holding his neck, Haoxiang was in a good mood, and he tightened his arms tightly to let him relax. Then he explained: "If you don't study "Historical Records" today, I will take you Go see a good show."

"Are you going to Shufangzhai?" The boy Yongzheng was very puzzled, didn't he hear Xiao Liangzi say that there was an opera troupe entering the palace today?

"You know?" Hao Xiang was a little surprised, how did he know?

"Didn't you mean to watch a play?" The young boy Yongzhen hugged Haoxiang's neck, turned his head and looked at him with a kind of eyes—are you lying to me?

"...It's Shufangzhai." Haoxiang finally remembered that Shufangzhai was originally a place for actors to sing operas and for the nobles in the palace to have fun.Now it is used by the convulsed Emperor Qianlong to raise his illegitimate daughter. I don't know if he really loves the child, or just regards this so-called Huanzhugege as a plaything for fun.

"It's strange, Huang Ama didn't host a banquet today, so how could there be a show?" The boy Yongzheng was still puzzled, and asked Haoxiang with his head tilted.

"I'll know when I get there." Haoxiang replied, and in the blink of an eye, he took Yongxin to the roof of Shufangzhai.

I saw the chaos in the yard, and several court ladies and eunuchs were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, muttering: "The empress has brought people in for so long, what should I do? Didn't the little stool go to the fifth elder brother for help?" ? Why haven't you come back?"

"Huh? Why is Queen Mother here?" Afraid of being overheard, the child covered his mouth with both hands and whispered to Haoxiang's ear.

The breath exhaled by the child when he spoke warmly and lightly touched Haoxiang's ears, as if a fluffy and fluffy feather had been swept across his heart, it was extremely sticky, so he was happy not to tell the child on purpose that he was surrounded by him. After applying the invisibility technique, not only can others not hear their voices, they can't even see them.

"Shut up, look carefully, this is today's homework, and you will be tested later." Haoxiang also leaned into Yongzhen's ear and said softly.

Sure enough, the child closed his mouth and stared wide-eyed.

Originally there were only a few palace maids and eunuchs in the courtyard, but now two muscular old men came out of the room, wrestling and dragging a woman in a red flag with the head of the flag tilted to one side, who looked quite embarrassed, but Hearing the woman yelling loudly: "Let go of me! You vicious queen! Why did you arrest me?! I'm a princess! After a while, Huang Ama came, and I asked him to chop off your head! Let him go! Let me go! Do you hear that?!"

After the woman finished yelling, there was another angry voice from the room: "Reverse! Reverse! An illegitimate daughter who ran in from outside the palace dared to let the emperor chop off my head! Hit, hit me hard! I want her to know the rules in this palace!"

"Ah! It hurts! Vicious queen! Huang Ama won't let you go! Oh, it hurts to death, Ziwei, Ziwei, save me! Go and call Yongqi to save me! Don't hit me! Don't hit me!" Yes! Ah..."

As soon as the people in the room finished speaking, the first two Momo in the yard pressed Huanzhugege to a bench and tied them up, and started fighting. Every time the board went down, Huanzhugege screamed in pain, with a rough voice. It's like killing a pig.

"Empress!" Huanzhuge in the yard desperately shouted for help, and another shrill female voice exclaimed in the room, and then slowed down her voice, which was pitiful and pleading: "You are so noble and kind, how can you have the heart to beat the little swallow?" ? She is Princess Huanzhu personally enshrined by the emperor, and also your daughter, wouldn't it hurt if your daughter got hurt?"

"So what if the emperor personally seals her? Since she has entered the palace, she must abide by the rules! The rules are set by the ancestors, and they are the family law of the ancestors. Everyone must abide by them. Today, I will teach her how to obey the rules, so as not to break into the palace in the future." A catastrophe!" The empress didn't take the slightest hint of threats from that lovely and pitiful woman, let alone her daughter's nonsense, and directly used the ancestral family law to oppress others.

"Empress Empress..." The woman wanted to persuade her again, but was interrupted by the singing of the eunuch outside.

"The Emperor is here!"

The queen hurriedly took people to the yard to pick him up.

Emperor Qianlong, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, brought his concubine Ling, who was slightly powdered and black, and the fifth elder brother who was full of anxiety, into the courtyard of Shufangzhai.Except for the queen, everyone in the courtyard knelt down on the ground in fear, and shouted in unison: "The slaves (servants) kowtow to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

"The concubine sees the emperor, and the emperor is auspicious." The queen is elegant and beautiful, and she was once the most beautiful woman in the Eight Banners. She behaves well when she salutes, which is pleasing to the eye, but her voice is cold and stern, and her face is stiff, compared with the gentleness and gentleness around the emperor. And the concubine Ling who greeted the queen with all manners was much inferior.

Everyone over there was busy saluting, but the fifth elder brother here had no time to greet the queen, so he rushed to Little Swallow's side as soon as he entered the yard.

"Hurry up and let go of Huanzhugege!" Seeing the little Yanzi being tied to the stool by two Momos and beating him half to death, her eyes were about to burst, and she glared fiercely at those two Momos. So she untied Huanzhugege herself, hugged her into her arms with a look of regret, and asked the people around her to invite the imperial doctor.

"Yongqi, you are finally here. You don't know how hateful that vicious queen is. She not only scolded me but also beat me. Oh, I'm almost a swallow. My little swallow has never suffered such a loss. You You have to avenge me!" Although the little swallow grinned in pain and his face turned pale, he still did not forget to complain.

"Don't worry, Huang Ama will make the decision for us." The fifth prince comforted the little Yanzi softly, regardless of the crowds beside him, the tenderness in his eyes almost watered down.

Sure enough, the emperor immediately attacked the queen.

"Queen, why did you beat Little Swallow like this?!"

"Little Swallow disrespects her aunt. What happened to my concubine to teach her a lesson? The concubine originally brought two mentors to teach her the rules. She didn't appreciate it, but she still hurt her. She said that the concubine wanted to harm her, and threatened to kill her." The concubine is so good-looking, and even said that I want you to cut off the concubine's head! The concubine taught her the rules in person when the little Yanzi spoke disrespectfully, so why is there anything wrong?" The queen poked her head, not feeling that she had done anything wrong.

The emperor was furious when he heard that little Yanzi said that he was going to cut off the queen's head. After all, it was my queen. Could it be that you, a little illegitimate daughter, cut off the queen? !Thinking of this, the emperor also felt that Little Yanzi's beating was not wronged.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a court lady came out from the side, knelt down in front of the emperor tenderly, and said in distress: "Your Majesty, that's not the case, didn't the little swallow intentionally hurt the two teachers, it's really the empress The deception was too much, she let the little swallow put a basin full of hot water on his head, and put on flag shoes on his feet, and the hot water on the top of his head would pour on his body if he was not careful. This, did you hurt the two of you if you didn't check for a while, but the empress said that the little Yanzi was stubborn, and she would beat the little Yanzi if she didn't repent. Yanzi always speaks without intention, she doesn't really want to do anything to the empress, you are so kind, how can you be willing to let little Yanzi suffer like this?"

After the gentle court lady made such an excuse in a soft voice, Emperor Qianlong's anger immediately dissipated most of it.Look at this court lady again, she is pretty, and looks familiar, oh, it is the sworn sister that Little Swallow mentioned last time, it seems to be called Ziwei, a good name.As expected of a good sister, she can stand up and speak for her in such a critical moment.It is also true, the little Yanzi speaks carelessly, and often talks about life and death, how could he understand such taboos, and after making up his own mind like this, the emperor's anger towards the little Yanzi completely disappeared in his heart. Immediately turn the anger to the queen.

"Queen! You know that Little Swallow is from the common people, but you torture her with rules. What I like is her freedom and freedom. Are you doing this against me on purpose?!"

"Your Majesty!" The Empress was so frightened by the Emperor's harsh words that she plopped down on her knees, "No, my Majesty, this concubine has absolutely no intention of going against you, this concubine is just because of her duty..."

"Empress, even if it's your duty, you can't hit the little swallow. How can you marry a girl after being injured?"This is putting eye drops on the queen, and by the way, reminding the emperor that the Phoenix Seal is now in her hands, and the queen's responsibilities are just superficial.

"Okay! Your phoenix seal has been handed over to Concubine Ling. Don't teach others one by one. This time, I will only punish you for half a year. Think about it in Kunning Palace. If there is another time, don't It's strange that I took off your crown together." The emperor's voice was not so cold, but the content really made people chill.

"Yes, my concubine obeys the order." The queen's face turned pale, and she knelt down on the ground slumped, the fake nails with fingernails clenched in the palm of her hand pierced the flesh, and blood flowed out.

After losing the queen, the emperor went into the house to visit the little swallow who had been moved into the house by the fifth elder brother. He swayed the rare father's love to the little swallow without regret, and then treated Shufangzhai like a stream of water. Only then did she leave Shufangzhai grandly with the gentle and beautiful concubine Ling, the queen who knelt down in the courtyard without a single look,

"Let's go, the play is over." Hao Xiang, who was hiding on the roof, saw that the music was over, and wanted to take Yong Xing back.

"Brother Hao, Queen's mother... what should she do?" Hearing the emperor scolding his mother in front of the servants and masters present, Yongzhen wanted to run to the emperor and ask him, "How can you What did you do to my mother?! That’s the empress of the Qing Dynasty! The most honorable woman in the world! Why don’t you even leave her such a bit of dignity for an illegitimate daughter?!” Haoxiang stopped him go down.

At this moment, seeing this mother who always taught her harshly in the past, now she is just a woman who is rejected by her husband. She has lost the dignity of a queen and the pride of the past. She looks pitiful and pathetic.Yong Xin's heart was full of pain, as if being pricked by thousands of needles.

"She needs to be quiet now, let's go." Haoxiang said, ignoring the child's struggle, easily restrained him, and led him away like a gust of wind.
