Yongzheng period

Afterwards, he sent the big palace maid by her side to Suiyuxuan, maybe he gave her a big gift through her hands.

At the end of March, the fifth elder brother welcomed into the side Fujin Akdon, who is the daughter of the fourth grade Dianyi Kacha, with a lively and playful personality, and the fifth elder brother complemented each other and got along very well.

Soon after, Yongzheng ordered the four princes to enter the Lifan Academy to observe and study. The Lifan Academy was in charge of foreign affairs. For matters such as feudal raids, annual shifts, tribute, siege, banquets, and salaries, etc., and dispatch the directors of the academy, pen posts, etc. to manage affairs in areas where ethnic groups live, and change them regularly.

The second is to handle marriage affairs between Manchu and Mongolia.Whenever the emperor marries a princess and appoints a quota son-in-law, it will be handled with the clan mansion.

The third is to manage lama affairs and protect the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism.

The fourth is to manage the alliances, demarcations, post roads and commercial trade affairs of Mongolian banners.

The fifth is to revise laws on ethnic minorities and participate in the trial of criminal cases.The divisions of the Lifan Academy are stationed in various places to participate in the judgment of ethnic cases in the area.Anyone convicted of more than a crime of deportation must be reported to the Fanyuan Court for review and execution in conjunction with the Ministry of Punishment or the Three Jurisdictions.

The sixth is to take charge of some diplomatic and commercial affairs.

Therefore, the Lifan Academy can be said to be located in a highly sensitive political environment, and there is no shortage of real power positions. The current prime minister of the Lifan Academy is Prince Lian Yinsi. How can Ren Hongli be eloquent and eloquent? With a smile, Hongli could only sit on the bench.

In mid-April, Yongzheng found another excuse at random, and abolished the ritual system for all the wives to come to court when Daiyu was enshrined as the imperial concubine.Said: "My intention is that those who are concubines at the beginning of the concubine, princesses, concubines, and wives should pay more respect and salute; if they are enfeoffed by concubines, the etiquette should be slightly reduced, and there is a certain difference. Princesses, concubines, and wives do not make any difference in salutes, and there is no agreement in the etiquette system, so there is no need to salute, and this is included in the canon."

This decree stunned Jingyang Palace for the first time, and then Kunning Palace Xiazhong Palace issued a statement: Jia En changed the red satin crank umbrella in the honor guard of the noble concubine to golden yellow, and the honor guard of the concubine and concubine added the former noble concubine Used red satin crank umbrella.

There are two wills, one lifts and the other presses down.Yongzheng originally didn't want anyone else to survive to the position of imperial concubine, even if his descendants were canonized, they would not overwhelm the ancestral system.And this note from Kunning Palace was naturally meant to appease the concubines, the concubines beside them didn't understand the twists and turns, and they thought about it more, and they all praised the empresses.

In Jingyang Palace, Concubine Duan accepted the two orders with a blank face, no matter how dull she was, she knew that she was hated by the emperor.At the beginning, because of the fourth elder brother, she had the courage to plan, but when she saw that Yongzheng turned a deaf ear, she became even more ambitious. She used the opportunity to intervene in official affairs to suppress Lin Jiashi openly and covertly—but gradually exhausted the emperor's patience with her. When the order was issued, it was a blatant warning, but unfortunately she couldn't stop for a long time.

Concubine Duan sat numbly on the ground, closing her eyes and crying and laughing: Now thinking about the emperor's initial connivance, it was just for better settlement after autumn.

"Your Majesty..." There were tears in Jixiang's eyes, and she saw her master's face turned gray for a moment, as if all the strength in her body had been drained.

"Your Majesty, you have to cheer up, who will know who will win or lose until the last moment?" Ruyi leaned forward and said softly, "Second Miss has become a Four Fujin, and everything has just begun. Without you? Who will support Second Miss? Gao's vixen is still there!"

Concubine Duan regained her composure when she heard the words, and said to herself, "...Yes, how much the late emperor loved the crown prince... In the end, no... the fourth child of my palace may not be unable to succeed!"

These words were too blatant, and the two of them, Jixiang Ruyi, turned their heads away, and then heard the words of the imperial concubine Duan possessed by a demon, with a murderous intent, "...the prince of the late emperor without the help of his mother and concubine finally fell into inferior status. Brother Zuojiu is still young and doesn't know his character, if there is no queen—"

"Your Majesty!" Ji Xiang was shocked when he heard this, interrupted Concubine Duan's words in a loud voice, and hurriedly said, "There is a deep rift between Your Majesty and Fourth Elder Brother, the most urgent thing is to win over Fourth Elder Brother."

"...You're right," Concubine Duan Guifei's eyes flickered slightly, she said absent-mindedly, "I thought it was wrong, Si elder brother, I have other plans, I want to raise your family as a side Fujin."

Jixiang looked puzzled, but Ruyi thought about it for a while, and agreed, "Fucha side Fujin has a pregnancy but no pet, and Gao Gege has a favor and no children. In this way, there will be a three-legged situation, and the pressure on Si Fujin will definitely be strong." greatly reduced."

"By the way, has Zhen Chang come to pay his respects as usual these two days?" Duan Guifei asked casually.

"Yes," Ji Xiang replied, "Little Zhen comes here every day, even if the master doesn't see her every day, he will definitely wait for a long time before going back."

"No matter how proud and arrogant she is, isn't she bowing her head?" Concubine Duan sneered and waved her hands, "Okay, you all go down, I want to stay by myself for a while. Let Zhen Zhen stay for another two days , then welcome her in to see me."

"Yes." Jixiang and Ruyi looked at each other without concealing the worry in their eyes, and finally had to obey orders and retreat.

Concubine Duan listened intently to the slight squeak of the door panel. After a long time, she slowly turned her eyes to the window, staring in a daze at the pattern of "flowing clouds and bats" on the silver-red soft screen window, and murmured, "...I have been doing this for nearly ten years. Your noble concubine...the imperial concubine...I can wait..."

【86】

At the time of Mao, it was raining, at first it was just pattering like ox hair, and then it became heavier and heavier, gradually becoming a rainstorm, rushing like pillars, and countless water streams splashed hurriedly along the tiles on the eaves of the temple. When it came down, it made a Martin clang on the eaves.The clear air of vegetation in the sky and the earth is diffused by the water vapor, and there is a clear and cold fragrance.

When Daiyu woke up from the haze, she could hear the majestic sound of the rain, and occasionally a few drops splashed on the bluestone board, just like pearls, round and dense.

"It's raining! It's raining!" The blue-eyed Badan, who was named 'Kun Qingzi' by Daiyu, jumped up and down on the horizontal table, turning his head from time to time to peck at the circle of fluff on his neck.

Hearing the crowing of the parrot, she felt clearer. Daiyu leaned on the pillow to rest for a while, then got off the bed, casually put the coat on the screen over her body.Walking to the window and pushing open a little gap, there is only a mist in the distance, and there are faint temple eaves and bucket arches, which show the thick color of precipitation under the washing of rain.

The sky was still overcast, and the room was dark. The morning breeze blew through the open window. The burning candle on the candlestick was flickering with the little light, and soon melted into a sticky liquid.The prepared brazier was newly replaced by the maid on duty at night. The charcoal red sparks jumped happily, but it didn't feel cold. The fresh water vapor outside the window was on the face, which was extremely cool.

"Master, why didn't you call your servants when you woke up?" Daiyu was looking dazed at herself, behind her Zijuan led two or three young maids to come in with hot water, and when she saw her standing on the air vent, she hurried over to close the window, Sui Sui murmured, "Why doesn't the empress not cherish herself anymore? If the cold air is blown in, how can life be good?"

Daiyu didn't feel it at first, when she sat down quietly, her fingers were cold and she coughed continuously.

Seeing this, Zijuan ordered someone to order a bowl of cinnamon twig soup from the small kitchen. A little girl came in with a new candle and a brazier.Sitting in front of the dressing mirror, Daiyu watched Zijuan carefully lick her hair with a squeegee, and ordered, "Go and see Xiaojiu and Jiana later, the rain this morning is so fast, the two of them Little man, don't get caught in the cold."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Piandian and Nansan Institute have asked about it earlier, and the young masters are all fine." Zijuan simply pulled two small hairs for her, and put on a red coral head in the shape of a peony with water on her temples. Hua, took the time to joke, "On the contrary, the empress got up early and went to the window to blow cold wind to scare the slaves."

Daiyu said helplessly, "As long as you control me like this, you are just fascinated by the rain scene, and you are nervous for nothing."

Zijuan stomped her feet on purpose when she heard the words, and lamented repeatedly, "If the servant girl persuades me, the master will always have hundreds of words to answer, but if the servant girl mentions one person, and he comes to talk about the master, the master will have nothing to say at all."

Daiyu glanced at her lightly and said, "Then tell me, who can suppress me, your master?"

Zijuan elongated her tone, "Of course it is the biggest master in this palace—the emperor!"

Daiyu was startled for a moment, then her cheeks turned red, she lowered her head and said nothing.Seeing the expression on her face, Zijuan said with a smile, "As the saying goes, 'When you order tofu in brine, one thing will drop one thing', the master is thinking about the emperor, and the emperor is afraid to annoy the master!"

"Okay, you dare to arrange me." Daiyu twisted her body to scratch the soft flesh of Zicuckoo's waist in embarrassment, and said reluctantly, "See if I will forgive you for being so bold today." Where's the girl!"

There was a lot of laughter between the master and the servant, Dai Yu'an came down to do her dressing, and Zijuan stepped forward and uncovered a Xuan kiln porcelain box, which contained a row of ten jade hairpin sticks, spread one out in her hand, and placed it in Dai Yu'an. Gently wipe the jade face evenly.

Then I heard Daiyu say, "I don't know when the rain will stop, but I can order someone to tell the Qianqing Palace to tell the emperor not to bother to come here, and be careful not to get caught in the rain."

This ordinary command made Zicuckoo's hands tremble so badly that she could hardly hold the compact.Daiyu suddenly felt suspicious, grabbed her wrist, fixed her eyes on her, and said calmly, "What are you hiding from Bengong?"

Zijuan reluctantly put on a tense face, pulled the corners of her mouth and said, "How can a servant lie to the master just..."

"You and I have been in love since we were young. You have something in your heart. Could it be that I can't see it?" Daiyu sighed, her brows softened, and then she frowned again, with a bad premonition in her heart, "Could it be that the emperor What happened over there, otherwise why would you hide it from me like this..."

Zijuan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, Your Majesty is fine.
