Yongzheng period

--With Xiaohejia's current experience, she certainly can't tell which quality is good or bad. In short, what she likes the most must be the best.But what she said was not wrong, and the thing that the female controller Yongzheng gave his precious daughter could not be defective.

On the contrary, Concubine Duan was choked up by He Jia's words, she smiled at her in embarrassment, and smoothed things over, "What the princess said is very true." Then there was no further text.

Seeing that it was getting late, the Empress Dowager could not help coughing lightly, and said, "Concubine Hui, mother and child are both safe, so the Ai family can rest assured. It's getting late, and you have been here for a while, so go back to the palace."

This was said to Concubine Duan and her concubines, and the Empress Dowager asked Yongzheng again, "What is the emperor's plan?"

"I will rest in Changchun Palace tonight."

"Alright," the Empress Dowager nodded, her expression a little cold, "This woman gave birth all through the gate of hell. If Lin Jiashi wakes up and sees the emperor there, she must be very comforted."

The Empress Dowager didn't make a long speech this time, she just left with all the concubines.Yongzheng watched them go away, then turned around and hugged Hejia, and said with a smile, "Ama accompanied Xiaohejia to see your mother—"

Most children grow up very fast and change their appearance every day, but no matter what they become, they can't hide the chubby figure of Brother Nine.But Daiyu liked it very much. She was thin and thin when she was young, and she suffered from the pain of poor health and medicine.Seeing that the youngest son is a healthy and fat boy now, and has not been influenced by his mother, he can't help but be overjoyed.

When Xiaojiu finished the full moon banquet with a scale completely comparable to that of his son-in-law—this time all the concubines who had experienced the battle of the five princesses were numb with jealousy, and even the Hutu clan returned to the Lin family with peace of mind, Yongzhengfang slowly thought of it In the Changchun Garden, Liu Guiren, who was in a state of anxiety, named the eighth elder brother 'Hongzhan', and got on the imperial jade certificate.

When Daiyu was out of confinement and returned to the palace affairs, she was as busy as a spinning top—the funerals in May of the eighth year of Yongzheng came one after another: first, Li Guangdi, a veteran of the dynasty who had already resigned and only took up idle duties, passed away; In the Kangxi Dynasty, Zhao Jia, the nobleman who gave birth to Princess Heshuo Duanjing, died of illness; finally, Dong, the concubine of Duantai, died of illness.

The two concubines in the harem died of illness, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was also very busy, so there is nothing troublesome about these two, as long as everything is done as usual.Princess Duanjing died of illness long ago on the grasslands of Horqin. Duantai's concubine, Mrs. Dong, was a little older, and the second daughter of the emperor who died in Kangxi ten years ago was nothing serious.

The death of Li Guangdi also made Yongzheng quite regretful. Even though he ordered the imperial physician to take care of him, he could not make this old man live a few years longer than in history.

Li Guangdi died of a sudden onset of hernia at the age of 77.Yongzheng not only personally sent Prince Heng Yinqi to offer condolences, rewarded him with a thousand taels of gold, and gave him the posthumous title of "Wenzhen", but also gave him the title of Prince Taifu to enshrine the virtuous temple.

When Prince Heng recited the book of condolence approved by Yongzheng to Li Guangdi, there were only four words in it: a generation of perfect people.

Side Hall of Yanxi Palace

Although there are three noble and young masters living in the Yanxi Palace, the one who takes the position is still respectful and noble.Ruan Guiren has a numb and low-key personality, and usually only relies on his seniority to get by; Wuya nobleman is still a registered lunatic in the hearts of the palace people; and Gongguiren was reprimanded by the emperor and then banned for another year, but the Queen Mother from time to time Both the questioning and the big reward are a warning to everyone in the palace—this master, he hasn't fallen yet.

Mr. Gong was in the side hall right now, looking at Mr. Wu Ya with an amiable expression as he took the medicine bowl from Wen Xing with shaking hands.

Wu Yagui's heart was in a state of confusion, she stared at the dark brown decoction in the medicine bowl, and almost felt sick.

She has been tortured by Mr. Gong for some time, at first she pretended to be crazy, and when she saw Mr. Gong, she desperately scratched her, and her mouth was full of obscenities.She thought that she could survive by showing a completely crazy appearance, but Mr. Gong still refuses to let her go!Xue blatantly punctured her false appearance of madness, but did not say anything to the public; Xue Baochai also pretended to be concerned about her health and asked for medical advice.

At the beginning, Wu Yashi struggled in every possible way and refused to cooperate, but as time passed, Xue Baochai lost patience and ordered those powerful and exquisite nuns to hold down Wu Yashi and forcefully pour the medicine down.

Wu Yashi will never forget the way Mr. Gong looked at her at that time, as if looking at a dead person.

Since then, Wu Yashi has been very obedient. In the eyes of others, Gong Gui is a humble and amiable young master, but in Wu Ya's heart, Xue Baochai is like a devil who pulls the virtuous skin!

"Why is my sister still not willing to drink the medicine?" Xue Baochai's face was still warm, and he urged him unhurriedly, "The medicine tastes bitter, but if you wait for the medicine to cool down before drinking it, the effect will be greatly reduced. "

"Ugh-"

Hearing the words, nobleman Wu Ya had no choice but to take a deep breath, shaking the medicine bowl and sending the medicine juice to his mouth with difficulty.It's just that the medicine was so bitter that she just swallowed it and vomited it out unbearably. Immediately after she turned it over weakly, the medicine bowl fell down with a 'touch' sound.

Baochai's eyes suddenly turned cold, she looked at Mrs. Wu Ya who was choked to tears, her dress was covered with stains splashed just now, coupled with Wu Ya's flushed face who was coughing non-stop, she was really embarrassed Unbearable.

"Sister, don't be in such a hurry to drink, Wen Xing, go and cook another bowl." Baochai signaled Wen Xing to go down, and at the same time walked slowly to Wu Yagui's side and patted her on the back—Wu Ya immediately Shrunk, the whole body froze.

"Sister is in the Mood for Love, youthful and beautiful, are you willing to bury her life like this?" Baochai narrowed her eyes and said honestly, "The Empress Dowager is really a heart of stone." Baochai moved his hand from Wu Yashi's back to her With hair hanging down the side of her face, she said with pity, "Look at this beautiful young miss, what does she look like now?"

Seeing that Wu Yashi just bowed her head and said nothing, Baochai leaned close to her ear again and whispered, "The queen mother said how to take care of you, but in fact she just treats you as a pawn that can be discarded easily. .Your position in the Empress Dowager's heart is lower than that of the desolate empress who was imprisoned and banned in the Changchun Garden. Could it be that you are willing to do so without resentment?"

"What's more——" Baochai's tone was sad and sighed, and she grabbed the cloth above the nobleman Wuya's abdomen with her hand, and said coldly, "And you, the prince who was tricked by the Liu family—— I know, she gave birth to the eighth elder brother safely, and she is living in Changchun Garden!"

Rao was fed up with the panic, and the terrified Wu Yagui was also stabbed all over by Xue Baochai's almost thorny words - she already recalled that day when she was lying on the bed, feeling the pain of the little life in her body coming from her. The feeling of flowing out of her body, she almost had the illusion that she had bled dry.

Noble Wu Ya clenched his lips tightly, tears streaming down his face.If it wasn't for the Empress Dowager, her relatives by blood, and the family that gave birth to her, who were indifferent to each other and didn't care about her down-and-out situation in the palace, how could she survive by going crazy?Suffering all the eyes and pain of people.But it was a good thing that no one would look at her again, otherwise she would have to be thrown into limbo and wait to die slowly.

So how could she not hate?She hates it!It's just that she wants to live more than hate.

Therefore, she followed the noble man's voice logically and said, "Concubines...all obey the noble man's orders." There was an obvious vibrato in the voice.

Baochai smiled slightly, and asked her in a low voice, "Compared to me, you must know more about the empress dowager's personality—there just happens to be an interesting story about many years ago."

At the end of June, Mrs. Gong finally got the good news of the lifting of the embargo; then there was the news that Mrs. Wu Ya was recovering from her illness - this aroused the hearts of gossip among all the concubines, and when they went to pay their respects to the Queen Mother His demeanor is extraordinary.

It's just that the two people in the center of the topic obviously don't have the awareness to dedicate themselves to satisfying the public, and both of them looked indifferent. The Queen Mother asked a question in order to show her kindness, and Noble Wu Ya answered dryly.When the rest of the queen mother ignored her, nobleman Wu Ya simply pretended to be dumb and refused to answer every question, which was very different from the bright and aggressive painting style in the past.

Now the concubines felt something: This nobleman Wuya almost lost half of his life in a catastrophe, but after recovering, he seemed to be peaceful and dull.Half of the concubines immediately lost interest in her, and the other half tried to talk to her after paying their respects - but also returned angrily after failing at all.

As for the Queen Mother, she really didn't take Mr. Wu Ya seriously.In the Queen Mother's mind, it would be neither beneficial nor harmful for Noble Wu Ya to be able to get the green head card again. For the sake of her surname, this is really a dispensable thing.

Even if someone told the Empress Dowager that Wu Yagui had a grudge against her and intended to take revenge—the Empress Dowager would not take it to heart at all. In the bottom of the Empress Dowager's heart, Wu Yagui was not a seed that could make things happen.

After the ban was lifted, the noble man was as quiet as an ostrich, not competing for favor or power.He only served the queen mother on time every day, and he didn't even take the opportunity to go to the side hall to see his son's little tricks--the queen mother was very satisfied with this.

Therefore, only looking at the Changchun Palace in the harem, Yongzheng ran three times a day, which was more punctual than eating on time.

Changchun Palace

"Your Majesty, these are the papers for asking for a marriage order or a promotion for a concubine's house." Zijuan carefully categorized the matters that need to be judged by her own empress, so that Daiyu can handle them in a unified manner.

Because the Eight Banners already had an in-law relationship, in order to prevent this relationship from getting closer, the emperor often interfered with the selection of in-laws for the noble children of the royal family.Of course, such a large-scale generalization must make the emperor busy, so only the marriage of important ministers will be taken care of by the emperor, and the rest will naturally be handled by the concubine in power.

Daiyu has been in charge of palace affairs for a long time, and she has become familiar with the relationship between the various banners and the palaces, and she has handled the affairs of the palace well.
