Yongzheng period

Pass reprimand:

"It's a matter of a little concubine. Why do you blame the queen for not asking for instructions?! It can be seen that you have never respected the palace rules and acted perversely! The mere concubine doesn't know how to behave? Thanks to you, I still assist the palace. It’s a strange way to manage this harem into a mess! Self-assertion and bad intentions, you are also worthy of being a noble concubine?”

Every sentence of the emperor condemned her heart, Concubine Duan Gui only felt a rumble in her head, and her eyes were darkened.

There was no mention of how busy Jingyang Palace was, and Sui Yuxuan was having a hard time, losing more and more popularity.Yan'er was dealt with, Pei'er saw that the situation was not good, she entrusted her relationship with her and was transferred to Xianfu Palace to be on duty, and Concubine Duan had no time to take care of her.Still thinking about it, Daiyu re-assigned two honest and honest young eunuchs to serve them, and beat the House of Internal Affairs not to treat low-ranking concubines harshly.

Without Shenmei Zhuang's assistance, Suiyuxuan has become a place that everyone can't avoid.

In the blink of an eye, before and after Qingming, the purple chrysanthemums in front of the chrysanthemum hall are in full bloom in the wind, reflecting the setting sun everywhere, and dyed with the lonely color of azaleas singing red.The clouds rolled in like a fire, the room was dark and gloomy, and the westerly wind was blowing in from the roller blinds, making people drowsy.

Shen Meizhuang was leaning alone on the imperial concubine's couch in the warm room, with his chin tilted on one hand, although he was lazy, he didn't feel sleepy at all.A nest of home-cooked jasmine hairpins were randomly placed on the edge of Hangzhou, and a few emerald plum blossoms were scattered and half-decorated. The eyelids are slightly closed, and the person looks thin.While half asleep and half awake, she heard a small voice calling her: "My lord, my lord."

Gradually regaining consciousness, it was Caiyue's voice outside the curtain.Shen Meizhuang didn't get up, he coughed first, and said in a low voice, "What's the matter?" But she didn't answer, Shen Meizhuang knew it was not a trivial matter, he stroked his face and cheered up: "Come in and answer."

Caiyue raised the curtain to cover her body and came in. She hesitated for a while before she walked to the front of the couch and said, "Your maidservant listened outside, saying that nobleman Wei from the side hall is gone."

Shen Meizhuang couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and said melancholy, "Wei Guiren's body has been like that for a long time, and these days are just hard work. It's a kind of relief that people are gone."

Thinking about the recent events, she felt even more cold-hearted and confused, not only for Zhen Huan, but also for the emperor.

Caiyue saw that she looked sleepy, and regretted her slip of the tongue, she hurriedly said, "My servant made sour plum soup, do you want to try it, my lord?"

Shenmei Zhuang didn't want the servant girl from her family to feel sad for her, so she responded with a forced smile, and praised her, "Our moon-picking craftsmanship is incomparable to that of the Imperial Dining Room."

Caiyue blushed, and asked again, "It's time to pass on the meal, does the young master want to eat?"

Shen Meizhuang waved his hand, "I don't have a good appetite, just go get some pastries."

"Yes, the young master is always lazy these days, why don't you go and invite Dr. Wen to have a look tomorrow morning?" Cai Yue couldn't hide her worry.

Hearing Wen Shichu's name, Shen Meizhuang couldn't help but pause, and the armor of his right hand subconsciously drew long scratches on the brocade with the bed pattern.She stared sideways at the Xia Yingsha of "Pomegranate Grape" on the window. Pomegranate grapes are a sign of many children, and there are even purple chrysanthemums outside the window - Lanpei purple and chrysanthemum hairpin yellow.

The real name of Cunjutang is "Tongdaotang". Her dignity and generosity have also brought her a charming dream of "sunset glow, pan-distant and pure, and a leaf singing nuts". The scenery is like a dream under the phantom of Rong Chong—but the dream will eventually wake up, and the residual warmth that is held tightly when the illness is drowsy is something that concubines are taboo and should not wishful thinking about.

Shen Meizhuang hesitated for a while, immersed all the hazy and budding feelings in her heart deep in her heart, she sighed lightly, her profile was a little blurred in the dark living room, "No need, Doctor Wen, after all, it is for Zhen promised to show her goodwill frequently, so why bother to work again? From now on, I will still be invited by Imperial Physician Liu for my Ping An pulse."

I don't know whether to say these words to others, or to say more to myself.

Caiyue instinctively felt that she had made a slip of the tongue, and she didn't dare to talk anymore, so she retreated.

At the end of April, Wu Ya's family presented a Buddhist "master" to the palace for the treatment of the Empress Dowager. The Qing Dynasty always attached great importance to "filial piety" etiquette.But it also mentions that "the son does not talk about strange power and chaos", and the rest of the courtiers are strictly prohibited from taking the opportunity to follow suit and invite pets.If the queen mother recovers from illness, she will be rewarded herself, but the wind of ghosts and gods must be guarded against the passing of time.

Soon good news came from the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the emperor excused his busy government affairs and his attitude was lukewarm, and by the way, the queen stayed overnight in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, avoiding the sight of the queen mother.Concubines in the harem, such as Concubine Duan, are the most embarrassing. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager is also aware of her own situation. She knows that there is no need to come to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to attend to illnesses in the Six Palaces, and she can just come to pay her respects together someday.

At the beginning of May, the heavenly official blessed, and the dawn dawned.

The Palace of Compassion and Ning has returned to its former prosperity and splendor, and the empress and all the concubines entered the main hall to pay their respects.The Empress Dowager was wearing a dark brown dress with five blessings for longevity, and sat on the head with her back slightly bent, making her look even thinner.The concubines standing back couldn't see the Empress Dowager's expression clearly, but felt that the corners of the drooping mouth were somewhat stern for no reason, which made people shiver.

Daiyu bowed her knees and looked up, and when she met the Empress Dowager's eyes, she felt startled: looking at her face, she didn't feel that she was recovering from a serious illness at all, it seemed like the sun was fading away.

After a year, the Empress Dowager came out again, and many concubines with senior qualifications were not at ease.The older prince and daughter, the fourth elder brother, has not yet left the palace to build a mansion, and Hong Zhou Wen Yi and other younger brothers and sisters are sitting in a row.

"Grandson pays homage to Huang Mama, and wishes Huang Mama good luck today!" Hongli knelt down with his horse sleeves on, raised his head and looked at it for a long time, with a happy face, opened his eyes and said nonsense, "Grandson sees Huang Mama The complexion has improved, so it can be seen that the imperial mama is blessed and blessed, and Songhe prolongs life."

The queen mother looked at the grandson with a half-smile, "The fourth child has also become an adult, Ai's family missed your wedding, it's time to make up for it today."

After saying that, a court lady brought a plan board, which was wrapped in red silk cloth. Its appearance should be like that of a pearl hairpin.The little eunuch behind the fourth elder brother came up to receive the reward, and Hongli Matsushita said, "Grandson, thank the emperor for the reward."

"The Ai family is getting old, and the only thing I'm thinking about is you juniors." The queen mother put on a kind air, ignoring the concubines all over the hall, and only exchanged greetings with a few elder brothers.While pulling the overwhelmed seventh elder brother to look carefully, he ordered people to present the gifts prepared early to the princes and princesses.

Concubine Xin waited below, almost unable to hold the smile on her face, staring at Hongjun's direction, the handkerchief in her hand was torn out of shape.The sharp-eyed concubine saw that the empress dowager gave the seventh elder brother the richest gift, so she pretended to be a quail even more.

The empress dowager had done enough drama, and finally she was willing to give her a look, glanced around, and said majesticly, "Why do you feel sorry for your family's disrespectful noble concubine?"

【88】

Daiyu lowered her head and said, "Concubine Duangui has been admonished by the emperor, and she is still thinking about her mistakes behind closed doors in Jingyang Palace."

The Empress Dowager hugged Seventh Elder Brother on her knees, and ate snacks with him, and said indifferently, "Concubine Duan Gui is an old man in the palace, she is the most appropriate, even if there is a mistake, she should think of her love and not overly warn her. I'm afraid that there are people in this palace who are domineering and talkative. You are the queen of the middle palace and in charge of the harem, so you should be serious about the harem and investigate the details. You should also point out any excesses in the emperor's behavior. Don't worry. Take up the responsibility of the mother of the country."

"Yes, my concubine understands." Daiyu put her hair up twice today, and wore the Suihan Sanyou hair flower with feathers and emerald emeralds inlaid with pearls. The golden silk pearls are layered and undulating, and the brilliance is bright.Sandalwood is always lingering in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and when you look up, you can see the smoke rising up and then spreading out.The Empress Dowager's sideburns are inlaid with gold, beads and stones dotted with emerald green hairpins, and an east bead is inlaid in the pattern of the character "Shou", and pine branches and bamboo leaves are dotted around the character of "Shou", implying good luck and good luck.Beaded tassels sway slightly at the bottom.

If the Empress Dowager has any instructions, just pass them by ear, and it's useless to remember them.Daiyu suddenly thought of the emperor's ardent words, and suddenly felt that it was ridiculous, so she didn't care about it, and said neither humble nor overbearing, "A few new concubines were drafted a year ago, do you want to see the empress dowager?"

Shen Meizhuang is sick and will see you in the future. The rest of the nobles like Borzigit are all well-behaved. The Empress Dowager's eyes swept over the Fucha nobles who are full of pearls and hairpins and jewelry. Staying on the body for a while, he said dislikedly, "Some of you are young, so it doesn't matter if you dress up in more attractive clothes, but you must remember that it is your duty to keep yourself safe and not to cause trouble."

The concubines all complied, but Duxia Chang was quite unwilling on the face, with a disapproving look on her face, but she had suffered at the hands of Concubine Duan, so at least she refrained from embarrassing herself again.The queen mother looked calm in her eyes, and made another account in her heart, and asked kindly, "Which one is Lin Changzai?"

An Lingrong made up his mind, and went out to kneel and kowtow, followed by Bao Que, who knelt down together, and his voice was like an oriole, "The concubine Chuxiu Palace is always in An's family. I wish the Queen Mother will be healthy and blessed. Year."

Daiyu tilted her head, and praised her solemnly, "Lin Changzai is very sensible, and his temperament is extremely gentle and gentle."

An Lingrong's heart was clear, and he complimented the concubine, "The concubine is young and reckless, fortunately, the queen mother is blessed, and the queen and all the sisters are willing to teach the concubines, so that they will not lose their manners."

The Empress Dowager smiled deeper when she heard the words, "It's no wonder that the Emperor likes you, and Aijia also likes you." Looking at Concubine Xin, she said gently, "You are straightforward and unpretentious, and you are very considerate when dealing with things rarely. The concubine and Liu Gege are taking good care of the seventh elder brother, and the concubines in your palace are also very sensible, so the Ai family should reward you."

Concubine Xin looked at Hongjun who was hugged by the queen mother and never let go. The little elder brother was afraid of the harsh image of the queen mother when she lived in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, so she just ate snacks and dared not say anything.Concubine Xin felt more resentment and anxiety than worrying, so she reluctantly smiled and thanked her, "My concubine thanked the Queen Mother for her kindness.
