Yongzheng period

But she is still raising Seventh Brother in the Compassionate Ning Palace, so she is not in a hurry.It would be a good thing for Wu Ya's family if Yirong could rise up step by step.

"No." Yongzheng said with a serious face, "Wu Yachang is still inexperienced, so it is inappropriate to be promoted too quickly."

If it's not right, then there's still Concubine Hui who has been crowned by you as a concubine for three years!The queen mother was almost laughed at by Yongzheng's double standards.But thinking about it carefully, Concubine Hui is indeed a special case.Although she was promoted too quickly to attract people's attention, she, Ama, was an important minister in the court, a clear stream among civil servants, and her family style was strict and prestigious.

And she was too lucky, when Concubine Hua and the Nian family fell when she was promoted to the concubine position, and the Nian family fell; Yongzheng was indifferent to the queen's mother's family because of the Huai Ke incident, and the queen was tied up in the harem; She got pregnant again and gave birth to Princess, and the queen who was the biggest threat also committed suicide because she couldn't restrain herself. Concubine Hui took control of the palace while consolidating her position.

Even the queen mother was moved by this good luck.

Daiyu who was on the side said at this time, "If this happened to my concubine, I must be missing my mother. The emperor might as well allow Mrs. Dong E to visit the palace as a decree, so that Quan Wuya can always be with her mother and daughter."

At the beginning, Daiyu was pregnant with Jia after the accident, and did not wait for Yongzheng's decree to Hu Tushi to hand over signs to see Daiyu one after another, but Daiyu refused after learning that Hu Tushi was pregnant again.

Here, Yongzheng heard Daiyu's proposal and thought about the past for a moment, he couldn't help but feel guilty, thinking about what excuse he should use to let Daiyu and her family meet in the future.The mood of the Empress Dowager over there is not so good. Once Dong E's family enters the palace, what kind of moth will come out!Thinking about how to tell the family, the empress dowager was even more troubled, and her thoughts of using the nobleman to manage the palace affairs suddenly faded a bit.

Seeing the empress dowager was silent, Yongzheng also guessed a bit, so he couldn't help gloating.In his opinion, the whole Wuya clan is capable of tossing around, but they haven't been able to figure it out yet.

Yongzheng said, "In this way, I will allow Mrs. Dong'e to enter the palace to take care of Wu Yachang."

The queen mother could only nod her head in acquiescence.

Not long after, the Empress Dowager returned to the Cining Palace on the grounds that she was ill, and then Yongzheng also returned to the Qianqing Palace to handle the government affairs.Daiyu and Su Peisheng sent people to investigate the Royal Garden to see if there were any clues.

In the end, concubine Jing was left guarding Wu Ya, and Mrs. Gong deliberately waited early at the gate of the apse, fulfilling her wish until Mrs. Hao who was walking alone at the end.

"Sister Hao seems to be in a bad mood." Baochai said in a warm voice.

Hao Guiren lowered his head, he couldn't help being startled when he heard this sound, and subconsciously took a step back after seeing who it was.

"No, it's nothing." Hao Guiren was a little afraid of her, looked around randomly but refused to meet her eyes, and whispered, "Thank you sister for your concern."

"Sister doesn't need to blame herself." Baochai's eyes flickered slightly, and his tone became softer, "If sister hadn't stepped forward to help, I'm afraid that even Liu's promised heir would be lost."

Hao Guiren forced a smile.

"Then my sister will not bother my sister," Baochai said, "My sister still needs to go back and take care of Wu Yachang."

After speaking, she turned sideways, watched Hao Guiren hurriedly salute, and then left in panic.

Dong E's family entered the palace early the next morning, and Wu Yachang was only able to wake up that night when Wu Yachang was there.When she learned that the child was gone, her emotions almost collapsed, and she ran outside the Jingyang Palace to kill Liu Ying without hesitation.Concubine Duan and the court ladies and eunuchs chasing after stopped and persuaded, even Dong E's family was almost caught by Wu Yachang.

In the end, the Empress Dowager sent a few powerful nuns to press Wu Yachang back to the Yanxi Palace for 'recuperation'. Although she claimed to be recuperating, she was actually under house arrest.Dong Eshi was not as shallow as Wu Yachang, she looked coldly at Yongzheng, who had never set foot in Yanxi Palace even though he ordered a strict investigation of his daughter's miscarriage.Knowing how tricky her daughter's grace and glory are in the eyes of outsiders, Dong E's attitude towards the Queen Mother became more cautious, for fear that her daughter who had lost her Sacred Heart would lose the Queen Mother's protection again. The end of the road.

Now that Wu Yachang is ill, the No. 1 in front of the Empress Dowager is naturally none other than Gonggui.The Empress Dowager intends to cultivate it, and the palace affairs originally assisted by Wu Yachang were also handed over to Mr. Gonggui.Baochai was born in a businessman and was very good at buying people's hearts. Gradually, some rumors spread in the palace, saying that although the nobleman studied palace affairs under the name of Concubine Jing, he was more sensible than Concubine Jing.She is gentle and doesn't put on airs. Although she is not the master, she is more magnanimous than some masters.

Such and such, even if she has a good temper like a concubine Jing, she is also turned upside down by anger, and the concubine Xin Concubine who is in the main seat is completely offended.Daiyu was the one who didn't care the least. Baochai had already played this trick in Jia's house, so it was nothing new.Moreover, those low-ranking court ladies who make irresponsible remarks really don't know the depth. If these specious rumors come out of their mouths, someone will teach them what it means to be "cautious in words and deeds".

Sure enough, but after two or three days, those people disappeared.It's just that Daiyu paid for it in private. Such a stupid way of offending a high-ranking concubine might not be Baochai's way.Maybe she just wanted to say something to show her own benefits at first, but she didn't want the rumors to spread, but deviated from her willingness, and finally got out of control.

As for the person behind the rumors, Daiyu guessed in her heart that the Queen Mother might have signaled it.Now that Wu Ya is often on the stage of temporarily retreating from the harem, the only bargaining chip in the Empress Dowager's hands is the nobleman, and how to keep the nobleman from being out of the hands of the Palace of Compassion and Peace—isn't it a good way to make enemies in the harem?

In the past, Lord Shunzhi only favored Concubine Dong E alone. The concubine Dong E was so beautiful in those days, and even her little elder brother was called "my first son" by Shunzhi, so Concubine Dong E was hated by the concubines in the harem—— The youngest son died, and he himself died early.In order to calm the royal family's resentment, Zhenfei Xiao Dong'e, who was the elder sister of Concubine Dong'e, had to be buried for Shunzhi in her prime.However, even so, the stain on the royal family's heart by the entire Dong'e family is still difficult to erase.

The Empress Dowager didn't like Wu Ya Chang Zai for some reason, not to mention that most of the Dong'e clan in recent years have the appearance of weak willows and Fufeng, which obviously do not meet the criteria for judging nobles in the palace as "good birth".

Leaving aside the matter of Mrs. Gong, Daiyu has thoroughly investigated Wu Yachang's promise to Liu, but has no clue.

In terms of position, Wu Ya Chang Zai should be the first concubine in the permanent position, while Liu Xu Xu is the last. There is no reason for the two of them to fall down together.It's just that there are concubines who certify that Wu Yachang went to the end by herself, presumably because of the embarrassment she got when "rewarding the red".

Looking at Liu promised again, since Liu entered the palace, Wu Yachang has been making things difficult for her in every possible way. If it is said that she wants to take revenge on a whim, she has a full motive.But the question is why did Liu promise to fall with him?Looking at Liu's promise of temperament, she is not careless like Concubine Xin and noble Ma Jia, and she has always called the imperial physician to check the peace pulse on time, but she did not call the imperial physician uncharacteristically a few days before the accident.From this point of view, it is suspicious that Mrs. Liu did not know that she was pregnant.

Moreover, the fact that Hao Guiren happened to catch Liu Xu's promise also made people quite concerned. Daiyu couldn't help but think of the scene where Hao Guiren and Liu Xu met in the Merlin that day.

It's just that there is no evidence to directly prove it, and everything is nothing more than speculation.The coincidence of these things is suspicious, but after careful investigation, it seems to be just a coincidence.After all, although Wu Yachang kept yelling that she was tripped and pushed out by Liu Xuying, it was hard to believe her crazy appearance.

The progress of the exploration was temporarily deadlocked.

Daiyu recalled what concubine Jin had hinted at that day, thinking that maybe she should go to visit her.

At the beginning of March, the sixth elder brother moved into the elder brother's house when he was old. Yongzheng listened to Concubine Hui's suggestion when choosing a companion for him. read.

As a token of gratitude, Concubine Jin went to Changchun Palace to prepare a generous gift, and then she reciprocated the favor, suggesting that Daiyu should stop with silence.

Yongzhengfu also rewarded Jia Lian with the fourth-rank mighty general rank on Jia She's body on the occasion of being pregnant with a nobleman, and promoted him to the fifth-rank prefecture position, and even invited him to meet him.

Jia Lian entered the palace like a pie in the sky, but when he left the palace, he was holding a secret bag in his hand, and returned to the mansion with a pale expression.The first thing he did when he arrived at the mansion was to lock himself in the study for a whole day, and all the rewards for congratulations upon hearing the news were pushed away, and even Jia Mu called him to go to the main room.

After March [-]th, before Jia Lian took office, he encouraged his father to separate from the second wife.Jia's mother reprimanded her to no avail, and Jia Amnesty became determined to mix things up, and the Jia family eventually split up.

Then Wei Changzai from the side hall of the Changchun Palace begged to see Yongzheng with a panicked expression: Hao Guiren dared to perform witchcraft in the palace to curse Concubine Hui Hui!

Witchcraft is a kind of witchcraft. At that time, people believed that if the wizard made sacrifices or buried paulownia puppets in the ground, and cursed the person who complained, the cursed person would have disaster.

The art of witchcraft has always been feared by the royal family. In ancient times, Empress Chen abandoned the Changmen Palace. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the disaster of witchcraft broke out——Gongsun Jingsheng, the son of Prime Minister Gongsun He, was accused of being a witch Emperor Wu committed adultery with Princess Yangshi. Gongsun He and his son died in prison.Jiang Chong, the favorite minister of Emperor Wu, was ordered to investigate the witchcraft case, and forced people to confess their guilt by torture and framing. The ministers and people were frightened and randomly identified others as criminals, and tens of thousands of people died because of this.

The so-called taking history as a mirror, the old things in the Zhenghe period are too long ago, but the elder brother Yinfei cursed the prince of nightmares in the Kangxi period is still fascinating.
