Zong Qiongyao's Haoxiang

--

Ever since Yongzhen persuaded the queen, the queen was no longer depressed. After this incident, the queen was no longer depressed. After this incident, the little remaining love for the emperor in the queen's heart completely dissipated.

The queen finally saw the reality clearly. Emperor Qianlong was not only her husband, but also the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. He was also a ruthless emperor--if you love him, you want him to live, and if you hate him, you want him to die--this is his code of conduct.

He favored Gao Jia's family before, and Gao Jia's relatives were so arrogant that they became a disaster, so that the people were in dire straits, and there was almost a civil uprising. However, after the incident, Qianlong raised the Gao Jia family under the wind of Gao Jia's pillow. Put it down gently.Nowadays, the emperor loves the concubine Ling, not to mention the one in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who only covers the sky with his hands - the concubine Ling's father - Wei Qingtai puts his hand into the emperor's pocket, even if the concubine Ling murders the emperor's heir, it is enough for their family to die A hundred times, but the emperor turned a blind eye.

She knew that she was cold and arrogant, that she could not let go of the honor of the queen, and that she could not do as little as the concubine Ling to curry favor with all kinds of tricks to invite favors. Qianlong had always been very happy, but no one in Kunning Palace flattered him, so Qianlong naturally Not happy, even Yong Xin was ignored.

Now that Yongzhen is sensible and the queen wants to open her mind, her hope in this life is on her son. In the future, no matter which concubine Emperor Qianlong favors, it has nothing to do with her, no matter how the wild swallow and concubine Ling are in collusion, no matter what they break into. It's none of her business what kind of calamity happened and how the royal family's face is.As long as Yongxi is safe and sound, as long as he doesn't get involved in that stick man.

Since then, the empress has been confinement in Kunning Palace to think about her mistakes.On the day when the confinement order was lifted, when all the concubines came to pay their respects to the queen, they felt that the queen had completely changed, as if she had changed herself.It's not that the appearance has changed, but the mentality and expression are very different from before.According to the queen's original temperament, it is such a humiliation to be restrained by the emperor. When the day of lifting the ban arrives, these concubines who came to Kunning Palace to pay their respects must be the queen's punching bag.

However, today's empress sits in the main seat calmly. Although the concubines who greet these concubines are not pleasant, they are not making things difficult. It made Ling Fei speechless, as if the person who was angered by Ling Fei's few words in the past was not the person in front of her.The concubines didn't know why the queen's temperament changed drastically in just half a year, and after thinking hard to no avail, they attributed it to the fact that the emperor's previous reprimand in Shufangzhai had worked.

However, Yongzhen knew that the change of his mother-in-law not only listened to what he said that day, but Haoxiang quietly added the elixir of calming the mind to her food every day, and after half a year of conditioning, it is only now that she has what she is today. results.

After the matter of the queen was over, Yongzhen felt relieved, took classes in Shang's study during the day, and learned the way of life from Haoxiang at elder brother's office at night.On this day, Yongzhen went to Kunning Palace to greet the queen as usual, and then entered the Shang's study.

Ji Xiaolan hadn't come yet, but Shang's study room was very quiet, the brothers were reviewing their homework without making any noise.The eldest brother, the second elder brother, the seventh elder brother, and the thirteenth elder brother all died young. The sixth elder brother was adopted by Emperor Qianlong to the clan. The third and fourth elder brothers have already left the palace to build a mansion. The remaining five elder brothers, eighth elder brothers, ninth elder brothers, tenth elder brothers, eleventh elder brothers, and twelfth elder brothers are all reading together.

Except for the concubine's fourteenth elder brother who was sick and not in the Shang study, Yong Xing was the youngest elder brother in the Shang study. The eleventh elder brother Yong Xing, who was similar in age to him, accompanied the queen mother to Wutai Mountain to pray for blessings half a year ago.Shangshu's room is also a place of indifference, because Yongzhen is not valued by the emperor, the elder brothers are not close to Yongzhen.In the early days, Yongzhen had a servant, but that servant was the son of a high-ranking son whom the empress tried so hard to get from Qianlong. Seeing that Yongzhen was not favored by the emperor and he was not clever, he looked down on him a little bit, and often used excuses Said to be sick at home.So Yong Xing's attendant exists in name only, he is alone, usually there is no one to talk to.

Ji Xiaolan knew that the Hanchens were no better than the Manchens. Although she was teaching the emperor's heirs in the Shangshufang, she always kept a distance from the princes so as not to arouse the emperor's suspicion.Therefore, he turned a blind eye to Elder Brother Twelve being isolated by the princes.

After saluting with his elder brothers, Yong Xing returned to his seat, got well behaved, took out his book, and read again what Master Ji said yesterday.After Yongzhen finished his review, Ji Xiaolan had already walked into Shang's study with Shi Shiran.

Ji Xiaolan glanced at the elder brothers in the seats without any trace, and found that except for the fifth elder brother, everyone else was present, and they didn't get angry, just remembered it in their hearts.

Recently, the fifth elder brother was busy going with the so-called Huanzhugege, and the Shangshufang also found excuses for not coming, and today he was too lazy to find a connection.Even though Ji Xiaolan was dissatisfied, she didn't dare to say anything in front of the emperor because Emperor Qianlong treated the fifth elder brother as an invisible prince.After all, the fifth elder brother is both civil and military, which is boasted by the emperor himself, if he doesn't know how to go up and speak ill of the fifth elder brother, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the emperor?

Ji Xiaolan put aside the dissatisfaction in her heart and began to give lectures.In the middle of the class, someone came in outside to report that the emperor had arrived.Before everyone came out to greet him, the emperor himself came in, and the elder brothers and Ji Xiaolan all came over to salute the emperor.

Qianlong came to Shangshufang today on a whim.Originally, I thought that Little Yanzi, as a distinguished figure in the Qing Dynasty, would not want to be illiterate, so yesterday the emperor issued an imperial decree to send Little Yanzi to the Shang Study Room, to get in touch with Ji Xiaolan, a great Confucian. But at least don't make jokes in front of outsiders and lose his face.

Today is the first day for Little Swallow to go to school, so Qianlong came to see how she is getting used to it, but after everyone had finished paying their respects, little Swallow was nowhere to be seen, and even Yong Qi, who was always diligent in her studies, was nowhere to be seen. Gradually darken.

"Ji Xiaolan! Where's the fifth elder brother?" The emperor stared at Ji Xiaolan with an unhappy face and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the emperor, this... fifth elder brother..."

"Huang Ama, why are you here?! Are you here to see me?"

Just as Ji Xiaolan was about to take the opportunity to put eye drops on Fifth Prince, she was interrupted by a female voice full of 'surprise'.Why don't you come sooner or later, why come at this time, the pinch is really accurate! ——Looking at the fifth elder brother with Huanzhugege and Ji Xiaolan, who was late to attend Voltaire, gritted her teeth secretly.

"Auspicious Huang Ama!" The fifth elder brother saw Qianlong's face darkened, and his heart sank. Could it be that Huang Ama noticed that he was neglecting his studies and came here to teach him a lesson?

Emperor Qianlong's face was sullen, and he ignored Huanzhugege who was excited and didn't know how to read people's faces at all. He stared at the fifth elder brother who looked down at his feet with a guilty conscience, and said sharply: "Yong Qi, what do you think of Shangshufang as a place?! Your parents, your grandparents, who didn’t work hard and walked out of here tremblingly?! Who do you think you are, come and go when you want? If so If you think so, you don’t have to come again!”

"Huang Ama forgive me, Yong Qi knows I was wrong! Please punish Huang Ama!" The fifth elder brother knelt on the ground with a plop when he heard the words, blushing and ashamed.

Emperor Qianlong's reprimand was extremely strict. All the emperors of the Qing Dynasty came out of this Shangshu. If your fifth elder brother doesn't like this place, then don't count on the throne.

It was the first time that the fifth prince was reprimanded so severely by Emperor Qianlong in front of all his brothers, his face was so hot that it could catch fire, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to get in.

Except for the innocent young boy of Yongzheng, everyone snickered in their hearts: You are always so arrogant, you will be punished!Although the elder brothers usually treat the fifth elder brother in a harmonious and friendly manner on the surface, and even treat the fifth elder brother as an "invisible prince" very respectful, but they mock the fifth elder brother behind his back. My mother didn't want it, she ran to please that concubine Ling who had a heart like a snake and a scorpion, and she didn't even know she was being used as a shield.

Yongzhen looked at Qianlong's face and thought to himself: "Huang Ama's anger is so terrible, so terrible, Brother Hao, come and save me!"

Although the little Yanzi wanted to say who rarely came to this dilapidated study room, but seeing Huang Ama continuously spraying anger at the fifth elder brother like a fire-breathing dragon, she didn't have the courage to say what was in her heart, and didn't pay attention to Qianlong. She hastily opened her mouth to excuse Fifth Elder Brother, smiled and approached Qianlong and said, "What did Huang Ama say that Yongqi came and went? Didn't you order me to study in this study yesterday? Yongqi today I went to Shufangzhai to go to school with me early in the morning, but you know, when I was in my hometown in Jinan, my mother loved me very much. She never woke me up so early. It took Yongqi a lot of effort to get me up. It's so early. You see, today is my little Yanzi's first time going to school in his life, such a commemorative day, Huang Ama, how can you punish Yongqi?"

Little Yanzi's upside-down words let Emperor Qianlong know the whole story. He valued the fifth elder brother the most and expected the most from him. Seeing that the fifth elder brother was not interested in studying in the Shang's study, he was naturally displeased. Now he knows Fifth elder brother was late to school for good reason, and seeing that fifth elder brother was so friendly to little Yanzi, he just thought he loved his sister.It seems that Lao Wu is still a good boy who loves to go to school and loves his sister.

After thinking about this verse, Qianlong suddenly became enlightened, and his face was clear after the rain, so he calmed down and said to Yongqi who was kneeling on the ground: "In this case, I will not punish you this time for the sake of Little Swallow. , remember not to do so next time."

Everyone didn't know how Qianlong thought about it, so what everyone saw was that the emperor was furious when he saw the fifth elder brother was late, and then he said such nonsense that the emperor calmed down.

All elder brothers and Ji Xiaolan stared dumbfounded at the emperor's amiable order to Huanzhu Gege not to make trouble in the Shang study, and to follow Ji Xiaolan to study hard. Everyone's response should be: Is this the end?So easy to calm down?What a fool!Yong Xin's reaction was: Huan Zhu Ge Ge is really favored!
