Sister Xue of the Red Chamber

Self-proclaimed smart and humble concubine was demoted because of small loss but big Liu suffered

In a blink of an eye, Bao Xuan has lived in Yongshou Palace for nearly a year.

On the seventh day of February, the imperial edict said, "My younger brother, Yunmi, has a loyal heart and a peaceful nature. He has always been loved by the emperor. For several years, he has been studying in the palace, and his knowledge has gradually increased. My heart is happy and I am named Jian. Prince." On the same day, Hongli, the fourth son of the emperor, was named Prince Heshuobao, and Hongzhou, the fifth son of the emperor, was named Prince Heshuohe.

On April 22, the officials at home and abroad were ordered: the subsequent events should only be narrated, and there is no need to carry eulogies.

On June [-]th, Liu Gui gave birth to his sixth elder brother, Hongluo, in the Old Summer Palace.

Busily finishing Sixth Brother's full moon ceremony, Baoxuan rested for a few days.This day, I ordered people from the palace to come to this Pengdao Yaotai by boat, so the place has always been quiet and there are few palace people coming and going, so I sent the palace people away to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yuanmingyuan, which will never be seen again in future generations, thinking in my heart : Since entering the palace, it is inconvenient for my father to enter the harem, and it is not appropriate to go to Dongping Palace by himself.Counting it, I haven't seen my father and brother for more than half a year.Now the Hou's Mansion has been completely refurbished, and a message came in last month, saying that it will be relocated soon.After the arrangement is complete, you can pick yourself up and go home.

At this time, I saw Liu Guiren, Mrs. Liu, coming slowly with the help of the maid.

"Bao Xuan has met Liu Guiren." Bao Xuan saluted.

The maid next to Liu Guiren took a step forward and said, "Gege is wrong, the empress has been sealed as a modest concubine by the emperor himself! Besides, the empress is the elder, Gege is the junior, Gege is calling the empress to be modest!"

Baoxuan knew that Liu Guiren was determined to find fault, so he felt amused.This Liu family entered the palace in the seventh year of Yongzheng, but she was not allowed to be granted the first seal. After being promoted to Liu Guiren in the eighth year, she became more thoughtful.It's a pity that the next three years will be mediocre.She was pregnant last year, and last month she gave birth to her sixth elder brother Hongluo, who was 22 years younger than her fourth and fifth elder brothers. Yongzheng was overjoyed and proclaimed her a concubine the next day.Seeing that the first four elder brothers and fifth elder brothers were all crowned princes, she suddenly thought again.It's a shame to be making fun of Concubine Xi all day long!Concubine Xi ignored her, and even joked with Concubine Yu in her free time. Could it be that Mrs. Liu was thinking about the late Emperor's lifespan, seeing that our emperor had just passed fifty, he must have thought about that!

"Ben Gege is wrong? You are a slave who can tell whether Ben Gege is wrong or not! Go to the Department of Punishment to get fifty boards by yourself. Remember to ask the steward to talk back, and don't tell you to lie to Ben Gege! Baoxuan reprimanded, then smiled and said to Liu Guiren, "Liu Guiren is too kind, the maid is ignorant, so she should discipline herself well. Let's talk about today's matter, although Huang Ama ordered you to be a Concubine Qian, after all, the canonization ceremony will have to wait until next year! Calling you Concubine Qian now is not justified, but it will be another matter to ask Huang Ama to know about it later. Besides, the rules of the ancestors are not born. Yes, there is absolutely no reason to call the nobleman Erniang. Even if she is promoted to the position of concubine, she will not be able to be called Erniang. If she is not punished today, she will spread the word about it. Didn’t it harm you? Since you are a benevolent person, then let Bao Xuan be the villain!”

Liu Guiren looked at Baoxuan with hatred in his heart.Originally, she couldn't beat Concubine Xi and she was unwilling to do so. Thinking that Chun Min was only 11 years old, it must be easy to handle.Whoever wanted to punish his close maid and even mocked himself with a few words!Which court lady dared to admonish He Shuogege without her master's orders?Beating a dog depends on the owner!She is fine, even scolding her master!All the people in the harem, who have not been promoted to the position after receiving the oral order, the ceremony of Jinfeng is just a number of etiquette, how many concubines died without performing the ceremony of Jinfeng!After telling her to say this, I went to cry in front of the emperor and told her to look good at that time!

Although Liu Guiren was angry in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. He smiled and "pointed out" Bao Xuan, "Thank you Ge Ge. There is only one thing that Ge Ge should pay attention to. Ge Ge has been named the princess of Chunmin by the emperor. After the canonization ceremony, you should call yourself the title bestowed by the emperor in front of your elders. It is inconvenient to mention the boudoir name in the Xue family."

"It's troublesome Liu Guiren." Baoxuan laughed secretly, "It's just that Liu Guiren entered the palace later, after all, he doesn't know more about Huang Ama's affairs than Xi Erniang."

"You..." Liu Gui was so angry that he wanted to interrupt, but Baoxuan ignored him and continued, "Mr. Liu Guiren probably doesn't know that the name Baoxuan was also bestowed by Huang Amaqin. Liu Gui You must remember it well! To avoid telling others about this matter in the future, you will be called disrespectful to Emperor Ama!"

"Your Majesty! You have to decide for your concubine!" Liu Guiren entered Bitong Academy wiping away tears.

"What's going on here?"

Liu Guiren burst into tears and did not answer, the maid beside her picked and recounted what happened at Yaotai on Pengdao Island just now, emphasizing it.

"Bastard!" Yongzheng slapped the table angrily.Liu Guiren was secretly happy, but he heard Yongzheng say, "Since Baoxuan asked you to go to the Punishment Department to receive your punishment, what are you doing here!"

Liu Guiren saw that Yongzheng not only did not help him, but instead became angry with his personal maid, secretly thought it was wrong, so he knelt down to apologize.

"What Baoxuan said is very true. Since you haven't performed the canonization ceremony, what kind of concubine is Babaer? You still want Baoxuan to call you a mother! I didn't know that you had such thoughts, but you are just a person with a bad name. The concubine just wants to pinch Baoxuan, if the canonization ceremony is performed, will it still be worth it?"

"Your Majesty!" Liu Guiren raised his head, his face full of disbelief.

"Since that's the case, don't even think about this concubine, it's better to be your nobleman Liu!"

Liu Guiren suddenly slumped on the ground.

"Huang Ama!" Yongzheng wanted to order someone to take Liu Guiren down, but Baoxuan rushed over.

"Baoxuan is here!" Yongzheng said lovingly, "Huang Ama is sending her off, let her be her noble person as usual, don't let yourself be spoiled for this kind of person."

"Baoxuan is not for this matter." Baoxuan was already annoyed, but when he met Liu Guiren, he became angry immediately, "Now that we have met, there is one thing. Since you are a nobleman, there is no reason to support the prince! "

"Gege!" Liu Guiren screamed.

"It's my negligence. With a mother like you, I am also worried that the sixth elder brother will learn something bad. The sixth elder brother can be raised under the name of Concubine Xi, and you don't have to worry about it! Su Peisheng, take Liu Guiren away .Go to Liu Guiren again, and send Sixth Brother and the servants to Concubine Xi!"

After Liu Guiren was taken away, Yongzheng pointed to the left side, "Baoxuan, come and sit on the kang. Tell Huang Ama, why are you in such a hurry?"

Baoxuan didn't attend the seat, so he suppressed his eagerness just now, and finally couldn't help it, and fell to his knees with a thud: "Huang Ama! Baoxuan wants to leave the palace and go back to the mansion!"

"Oh?" Yongzheng's face turned cold in an instant, "Why, someone in this palace wronged you? Didn't Huang Ama teach Liu Guiren a lesson for you just now, why, there are others?"

Baoxuan no longer cared about guessing the emperor's heart, and kowtowed, "Return to Emperor Ama, just now my brother sent a message that my father is seriously ill! Baoxuan wants to go back to the palace to serve the sick!"

Yongzheng stood up immediately, "It's alright, why are you seriously ill?" He walked back and forth a few steps, "Baoxuan, you go back to Yongshou Palace to pack some luggage and prepare to go back to the palace to serve the sick. After a while, Huang Ama will take you personally. Go out of the palace! Bring two more imperial physicians, and I will go see your father in person!"

Beijing, Iron Lion Alley, Hou Mansion.

"Father!" Baoxuan rushed over when he saw Xue Tianxiang, and hurriedly called the imperial physician to come for diagnosis and treatment.

At this end, Yongzheng looked at the haggard Xue Tianxiang at the door, and beckoned Xue Pan to come out.

The two came to the main hall. "Didn't your father be fine a few days ago, and he wrote a note saying that he will move into the Hou's mansion, and after the rectification is completed, he will bring Baoxuan back?"

Xue Pan has always been straightforward, and when he heard this, he raised his hand and dropped a colored glass vase.Yongzheng seldom saw people who dared to throw things in front of him, so he looked at him amusedly, which surprised Baoxuan who heard the sound.

"Brother!" Baoxuan complained, but pulled Xue Pan to look him up and down carefully.After confirming that Xue Pan was fine, he turned around and said to Yongzheng, "Ama Huang, please forgive my brother this time! My brother has a straight temper, and he didn't mean to offend Ama Huang."

"It doesn't matter." Yong Zheng waved his hand, he was used to the tricks in the deep palace since he was a child, and seeing other people's fathers being kind and filial, and brothers and sisters loving, he would not pursue such a small mistake. "Tell me what's going on with your father."

"The emperor Ama was assassinated that day, and my father was frightened, but he just suppressed it. Later, the emperor Amaqin was appointed a first-class marquis, and he was very happy, busy all day cleaning up the marquis' mansion. I was overjoyed, but the steward of the Prince's Mansion of Shuncheng came here, and for some reason, he said a lot of nasty words, and my father became ill that night! Such shock, joy, and anger really hurt my bones!"

"The steward of the Prince's Mansion of Shuncheng County? Xibao should be too busy to take care of himself these days, why is there still time to send a steward to say something? What did you say?"

"I have to ask my brother! Baoxuan only knows the general idea." Baoxuan turned his head and looked at Xue Pan reproachfully, "Brother is also, why didn't he know how to stop him, and let others insult his father!"

Xue Pan hurriedly said, "Sister, don't be angry! I also wanted to beat people out that day, but my father stopped me!"

"You really want to beat people out! This is the capital city, and not everyone can beat them out at will. Xue Tianxiang is just a manager of the palace, so he beats him out as soon as he beats him out. Why is he still stopping you?" Yongzheng asked suspiciously. .

"It stopped me! As soon as the man entered the door, he said that his name was Liu or something, and that her daughter was called...Qian or something. Do you think it's strange? There is no reason why the father's surname is Liu and the daughter's surname is Qian! Could it be that he is wearing a cuckold? ? My father listened, and was very respectful to that man!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Yongzheng laughed, and patted Xue Pan on the head.Fu sat down again and twirled his rosary for a while, "Could it be...Liu Man? Is her daughter called Concubine Qian?"

Xue Pan slapped his head, "That's right, that's what I said!"

Yongzheng glared at him, "I don't know how to do it!" His nephews and nephews were often trembling when they saw him, and Hongli was more respectful than close.Although Hong Zhou is muddled, he is not as innocent as Xue Pan, and he loves Xue Pan very much.

"It's really infuriating!" Baoxuan said angrily, "His daughter came to find fault with Baoxuan this morning. Her nose is not her nose and her eyes are not her eyes. She dared to go to Huang Ama and complain first! Who would have thought that her father had already Come to find trouble with your father!"

"What! How dare you bully my sister!" Xue Pan was furious, and wanted to rush out to find trouble, but Bao Xuan hurriedly stopped him.

"Your brother is a violent temper in front of you. Fortunately, he is a girl who knows how to love her!" Yongzheng sighed, "This Liu's heart is also big. When I turn around, I will order someone to change the Hongluo jade certificate, so I can't call it. There are many things that happened to her natal family. This Liu family... let's lower it again, and it can be regarded as an explanation to your brothers and sisters. I have returned to the palace first, and told your father that I have been here."

"Your Majesty, can Bao Xuan stay?" Xue Pan asked expectantly.

"Your sister, I won't rob you. The two imperial physicians will also be reserved for you to envoy. After your father recovers from illness, I will write the memorial."

Three days later.

Seeing that Xue Tianxiang was getting better day by day, on this day the noble concubine Xi sent someone from the palace to deliver the news that the nobleman Liu was disrespectful in front of the imperial court, demoted to Chang Zai, and confined to the palace.

Baoxuan thought, since the sixth elder brother has been recorded in the name of Concubine Xi, and the jade certificate has also been changed, and this Liu family has been relegated to the status of permanent residence, he is afraid that he will never be able to turn around again.Look, there will never be a concubine Qian in the history of the Qing Dynasty!

Just at this time, I suddenly heard someone report: "Princess! Madam is here! Madam has come from Jinling!"

Feng?
