Yongzheng period

get up. "Yong was smiling, apparently in a good mood. He was wearing a purple uniform today, and Daiyu was wearing a blue flag dress with purple flowers. From a distance, the two looked like an ordinary loving couple. The old people such as Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing were fine seeing such a scene, but Wu Yachang immediately lost face, feeling sour from the bottom of her heart.

"Your Majesty, the banquet has been prepared on the east side. You can 'appreciate the scenery' all the way first, and then have a banquet." Concubine Jing was in charge of the banquet, so she reported to Yongzheng first.He smiled again and said to Daiyu, "Today is my younger sister's future, and my younger sister is the birthday star. You are not allowed to hide when you toast later."

Daiyu blinked when she heard the words, and said playfully, "Then my sister has to ask my sister for forgiveness first, my sister can't drink well, so my sister has to show mercy."

Yongzheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said, "Don't be greedy." Then he asked Concubine Jing, "What play is prepared first on the stage?"

"First, I ordered "Lady's Hairpin". If the emperor and his sisters have anything else they like to watch, just order something else."

Yongzheng nodded his forehead slightly, and said, "Then let's go to 'Appreciate Red' first."

Since today is Concubine Hui's Qianqiu, Concubine Hui's home court is naturally, and most of the ribbon-cutting prepared by the concubines is quite standard.The Flower God of February is Concubine Yang, but Concubine Yang does not have a reputation as a wise man in history, so I cut some things related to her.

Yongzheng took Daiyu all the way, and the first thing he saw was the paper-cut of Concubine Duangui, which was a winter jasmine; followed by the hydrangea of ​​Concubine Jing, and the "drunken concubine" of Concubine Yu... There are all kinds of things.Daiyu cut the lifelike "Hundred Girls Outing Green", Gonggui made "Beauty Fluttering Butterflies", and the subsequent paper-cuts are even more eye-catching.

It is a picture of a palace concubine lighting a lamp. Not only are the colors well matched, but the characters cut out on it are also extremely three-dimensional and full. If you look carefully, even the clothing and accessories worn by the characters are very delicate. Spikes of flowers as embellishment.

Looking at the tailoring technique of this pattern, Yongzheng couldn't help secretly praising the ingenious workmanship, and said with a smile, "What a clever craftsmanship, which palace's pattern is this?"

"Back to the emperor, this was made by the courtiers and concubines." Wu Yachang was waiting for this moment, holding back her joy and said delicately, "If you talk about the Flower Festival, the feeling of lightening the lanterns is a must. If there are few, the concubine chose this style."

Concubine Xin couldn't see her pretentious attitude, so she sneered and said, "This pattern is just the old one, after all, it's gone from vulgarity, but what's rare is the tailoring skills. If my sister's technique, then I Waiting is really ashamed.”

Wu Yachang's face grows when she hears the words. If she really did it herself, she would have shown off in front of the emperor long ago. How about you? !

Wu Ya Changzai had no choice but to say, "It was made by a skilled slave in the concubine's palace."

Concubine Xin pretended to be surprised and said, "I saw my sister so happy just now, I thought it was my sister's handicraft!"

Wu Ya Chang Zai could only smile far-fetchedly, and Dai Yu said, "Chang Zai is pregnant now, and it takes a lot of effort to do these things. It's just a toy, and if a slave does well, it seems like a master." Did you teach well?"

All the concubines responded one after another, bypassing Huatou.

It was Concubine Hui who made the rescue, and Wu Yachang felt even worse in her heart, and heard Yongzheng say, "It's just that this paper-cut is really what I like, Su Peisheng, go and take it down."

Hearing this, Wu Yachangzai became proud again. Although she was humiliated by Concubine Xin, it would be a grace if this paper-cut was valued by Yongzheng and hung in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.And in Concubine Hui's Qianqiu, the emperor chose her paper-cut, didn't it also make her overwhelm Concubine Hui?

Wu Ya was always thinking about it, trying her best to tighten the corners of her raised lips.However, Yongzheng took the pattern from Su Peisheng's hand, and handed it casually to Zijuan behind Concubine Hui.

"Today is your mother's Qianqiu, since this is Wu Ya's wish, you should take care of it for your mother."

Wu Ya Changzai still maintained that look of wanting to smile, and her face suddenly turned blue.Zicuckoo, who was opposite her, happened to have a panoramic view of her expression, and suppressed a smile and said, "Yes."

Daiyu looked at Yongzheng's dignified appearance, and couldn't help but whisper angrily, "What a strange thing!"

Yongzheng smiled indifferently, looked at Wu Yachang's froze face, and said with a low face, "Why, you don't want to?"

"Concubine... I am willing..." Wu Yachang lowered her head deeply, gritted her teeth and said, "Concubine, I was just too happy for a while..."

Now she only regrets that she didn't put poison on that pattern back then.

The concubines burst into laughter, Wu Yachang walked to the back, listening to those ridicules, her face was terribly embarrassed.She rubbed her stomach, thinking bitterly in her heart: Wait until the Lord gives birth to a prince some other day, and see how you flatter me!

She was thinking to herself, but she didn't notice that Liu promised to take a look around behind her.

*

After walking through the plum grove of "appreciating red", there is a long and uneven corridor. Yongzheng and Daiyu are naturally at the front, and behind them are the concubines.

As soon as he walked down a section of stone steps, he heard a scream of panic from behind—I saw Wu Ya Changzai and Liu Ying fell together and fell for some reason—and Hao Guiren in front quickly reached out to help him. The three of them stumbled to the ground together.

Wu Ya Changzai and Liu Xuyue passed out on the spot, Hao Guiren could barely hug Liu Yingyue - she subconsciously looked at Wu Yachang's abdomen - then whispered, "Blood!"

Yin Yin's blood not only seeped from the hem of Wu Yachang's clothes, but also flowed from Liu Xu's lower body.

Yongzheng furrowed his brows fiercely, "Call the Imperial Physician--!"

【44】

The Empress Dowager arrived at the Palace of Yanxi Palace in less than a quarter of an hour, and the place where Liu promised was watched by the noble concubine Duan of Jingyang Palace.

As soon as the Empress Dowager Pu came in, she pointed her finger at Concubine Jing, who was hosting the banquet, "Isn't it a good Huachao banquet? Why is it that Aijia heard that Wu Yachang is here?!"

Before Concubine Jing could answer, she heard Wu Yachang groaning in agony in the inner room, her two hands scratching at random and almost tore the brocade under her body.

"Little master——" Dong'er held tears in her eyes, her voice was incoherent, and she shook the quilt covering her master's lower body with shaking hands.

The mass of blood and flesh was revealed in everyone's eyes, Daiyu only took a glance, then her face turned pale and she grasped Zicuckoo's hand tightly.

"This—" The queen mother vaguely saw what it was through the curtain, her breath was suddenly unstable and she was about to faint, Zhu Xi hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

Wu Yachang was still in a coma, lying motionless on the bed with a gray expression.

Yongzheng sat in the outer room, his expression was very calm.Zhang Mi, who was at the bottom, knelt down and said, "...the fetal afterbirth slipped out, and there will be no serious problems for the little master Wu Ya. For the rest, I will wait for the little minister to prescribe the medicine, and the little master will be able to recuperate for a while."

Yongzheng nodded his head and said, "I know."

Zhang Mi responded and went down to consider the prescription, Xiaoxiazi walked in quietly and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, there is news from Jingyang Palace that Liu promised to be pregnant for half a month, but he just moved his fetus, so there is no serious problem." .”

Ruan Changzai, who lived with Yanxi Palace, couldn't help muttering, "Two people fell down together, one lost his heir and the other happened to have it."

Ruan Changzai's voice was not too loud, the queen mother listened seriously, her expression changed, and she said immediately, "Emperor, what do you think?"

Yongzheng frowned, "This matter is too coincidental, I will investigate strictly and give the Queen Mother an explanation."

The queen mother was silent for a moment, and then said for a while, "In this case, then Liu promised that he should be confined to Jingyang Palace first." She changed the subject, looked at Hao Guiren and said, "I heard that you were the one who wanted to catch Liu promised at that time. Two people, but the three of them fell down together?"

Hao Guiren couldn't help but flinched under the stern eyes of the Queen Mother, and stumbled in a panic, "Chenqie...Chenqie just subconsciously..."

"Hmph, that's fine, the Ai family knows." The queen mother became angry when she saw Hao Guiren's timid look, looked at Daiyu angrily, and said, "It's only been a year since the newcomer entered the palace, and the harem is not stable. It is. After all, it is because there is no proper discipline in the palace, and there is no master in the palace."

Hearing that the queen mother's tone hinted that the queen was still in confinement in Changchun Garden, Yongzheng's face suddenly turned cold.

The queen mother didn't want to excuse the queen, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the queen was hopeless.It is the emperor's great kindness to be able to retain the title of empress in the Changchun Garden. The empress dowager just wants to suppress Concubine Hui who was granted the power of the palace handle by Yongzheng.

Daiyu heard the words and stopped watching from the sidelines, and pleaded guilty with Concubine Jing, "It's the ministers and concubines who have not managed well. I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me."

Daiyu glanced at Wu Yachang, who had a gray face, and couldn't help but feel sad.Seeing that although the queen mother was angry about her miscarriage, she probably didn't value and pity Wu Yachang in her heart.

Now that the Empress Dowager has the intention of taking the opportunity to make trouble to seize the palace power, Daiyu thought for a while, and then softly suggested to Yongzheng, "Leaving aside the dereliction of duty of the concubine and the concubine Jing, the most important thing at the moment is how to get along well." Wu Yachang is here to comfort her. She is still young, and she must be extremely upset when she is suddenly hit by the loss of her child."

Yongzheng also showed a worried face very cooperatively, and said to the Queen Mother, "What Concubine Hui said is very true, after all, Wu Yachang is my family relative with Er Niang, and if you don't handle it properly, you, Empress Empress, can't do anything about it." Tell my little uncle."

Now you are thinking that the Wuya clan is your mother clan, the queen mother will inevitably slander her.Thinking of her own younger brother who was so fancied by Dong E's family, the Queen Mother's heart choked again.

"Then what should we do according to the emperor's opinion?" The Empress Dowager said, "Jin granted Yirong the title of 'noble person', and proposed a better title to appease her?"

Well, even though the matter of the prince has to be postponed,
