Palace affairs Jinfeng imperial concubine big wedding day feast Yikun Palace

After Qianlong greeted Niu Hulu, he looked at Fucha and smiled, "You have been forcing yourself to be virtuous and virtuous all day long, why can't you bear it now?"

Mrs. Fucha sat slumped on the ground without making a sound.

"Back then, when the Supreme Emperor gave me the title of Fujin, what he valued was the generosity of the Fucha family! I never expected, I never expected that Mi Sihan, who came from a general family, would have such a petty granddaughter like you!"

Hearing the words, the Fucha family seemed to be insane, and raised their heads and asked sharply, "Small family spirit? The concubine asks herself, except for the present, since she married the emperor, no matter in Prince Bao's mansion or in the palace, everything she does is worthy of a respect. Di Fujin, the title of a queen!"

Qianlong sneered and said, "You know what you have done. Tell me what you have done, and you can be called a 'Queen'!"

The Fucha family said sadly: "The ministers and concubines have always been respectful and thrifty. They usually live in grass and velvet flowers, and do not wear pearls and jade... Isn't this what the emperor praised!"

"Praised?" Qianlong sneered, "You can't tell. You kept saying that you were frugal, so I only praised you a few words. After a country, how can you not have pearls and jade!"

Niu Hulu said at the side: "There are rules for how many heads and jewelry the queen will make in a year, how much fat and rice will be cut and how much rice will be distributed. In places where others can't see, you can be as respectful as you like. Even if you wear coarse clothes, no one cares about you. But when you go to various ceremonies, palace banquets, and summon the family members and wives of the clan, you should pay attention to everything that is brand new, [-]% new, or half new. If you make one, you lose the face of the royal family! What's more, you don't use it yourself, and you can't save others who reward it! You make a big fanfare and say you want to be frugal, who will show it?"

"Ask the manufacturing office to delete the utensils made for the queen, and they will be useless in the future. It will lose the face of the royal family; if you don't delete it, you will be frugal again. What do you think I should do?" Qianlong walked up to Mrs. Fucha, leaned over and asked.

"It's so..."

"We have been married for 14 years. Among the concubines, those in the hidden mansion, and the palace, we have only five sons and three daughters! There are two daughters who have not stood up. You pretend that I don't know that you brought Concubine Zhe into the palace together. Gong, what is the idea! How did the two children in the 12th year of Yongzheng and the [-]th year of Yongzheng disappear?"

Fucha smiled lightly: "Concubine, don't you want to be a virtuous empress? Since you want to be virtuous, naturally, you have to think about your husband's children. Those coats are not worthy!"

"Isn't Concubine Jia a coat? Isn't Concubine Xian a common surname in the military banner? Sophistry!" Qianlong found a chair and sat down, "I don't want to care about the absence of Concubine Zhe and Concubine Yi. Historically, virtuous queens have always been able to hold on. It's half the sky. But you, you can't even manage a harem, and you still want to be a good queen?"

"Do you really think that you are virtuous if you act like you are following me in everything? That is the virtuousness of Han women! Why don't you learn from Ming Taizu Empress Ma!"

The next day, news came from the palace that Empress Fucha suddenly contracted a seasonal illness.

The emperor was furious and ordered the imperial physician to diagnose and treat day and night.The illness can be passed on to others. Fucha Fuheng, the youngest brother of the empress, made three memorials, begging the emperor to take care of the dragon's body and never put himself in danger.The Changchun Palace sent out a note from the Central Palace, imploring the emperor to put state affairs first, otherwise, even if the queen is ill, it will be difficult to take care of her.The emperor sighed, and the Changchun Palace was closed.

Three days later, according to the order of the Empress Dowager, Ulanara, the noble concubine of Jin Xian, became the imperial concubine and took care of the affairs of the Six Palaces.

The imperial concubine is almost the vice queen, except for the posthumous title, it is the new "imperial concubine" who has been ill for a long time and is exhausted.Now that the Ulanara family is strong and healthy, there is only one explanation, the Queen Fucha's family is no longer good.

Ever since Fu Cha's sudden illness, no one entered or exited the Changchun Palace. All the food, clothing and medicinal materials, and even the Zhonggong paperwork, were handed out through the door opening.

What's more, in the imperial concubine's booklet, whether it is "selecting the successor body in the harem" or "destining the heir to the Jiaodian", all of them reveal ominous meanings.

The imperial concubine has always been respectful, and please wait for the queen to recover before performing the canonization ceremony.

The superior forbids it, and reprimands it: "Your photography of the six palaces today is not as good as before. It is difficult for a noble concubine to convince the public. Although the canonization purpose is below, but the name is not correct, the words will not go well. The canonization ceremony must be done quickly, and after that, you must pay attention to it." Cooking palace affairs, do not live up to my expectations."

In October, the queen became ill.

The empress dowager was kind and wished to be happy for the empress, so she selected the beautiful women who had left their names in August to marry the ministers' nephews and nephews.

When Mother Jia heard that Daiyu was about to be married, she remembered it like an ant on a hot pot!If you want to enter the palace to talk to the Empress Dowager and Yuanchun to ask for an order, but you have already been expelled from the palace, and you can no longer enter the palace.

He wanted to ask Mrs. Xing to hand over the sign to enter the palace, but she used the excuse that she would take care of Wang Xifeng's baby, but she refused to come over despite repeated urges and invitations.

In a rage, Jia Mu drove the mandarin ducks to Sister Feng's yard.

"Well, you old lady, my old lady can't invite you anymore! I asked Yuanyang to send you a message, telling you to prepare to pass the sign into the palace, why didn't you reply at all!"

Mrs. Xing has learned to behave now, and she said with a shy face: "Old lady, haven't I never seen the world! Usually, the old lady brought me into the palace. Now, I am alone, how dare I hand over the sign?" !"

"Daiyu is the granddaughter of our Rongfu! For Daiyu's marriage, I dare not hand over a sign. How can you be an aunt!" the old lady said angrily.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly persuaded from the side: "Old lady, don't worry. Madam has no idea in her heart, that's why she didn't dare to enter the palace. Sister Lin, on the other hand, looks very blessed, the queen mother will definitely point her to a good family!" "

Mrs. Xing hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes. When I enter the palace, I don't know what to say or what not to say, and I panic when I think about it! If something goes wrong, it's not good!"

Mother Jia wants to match Bao Dai with all her heart and eyes, so she is not willing to listen to such things!He reprimanded: "You don't even think about Baoyu! The two of them played together until they were big, and their relationship is no better than others. At least you should register in front of the Queen Mother now, so as not to have a 'disorderly mandarin duck'. It's not beautiful!"

Wang Xifeng pretended to be sad: "I thought so too. It's just that now that the Lin family has raised the flag, we can't get along anymore!"

Mrs. Xing glanced at the shocked Mother Jia, embraced Wang Xifeng and said, "Yes! Such a good marriage, what a pity!"

At the end of October, the queen recovered from her illness.

The decrees referring to marriage came down one after another, and among them was the marriage between Xue Pan, the eldest son of the first-class loyal and filial son, the second-class guard, and Lin Daiyu, the younger sister of the left deputy capital imperial envoy.

Seeing that the queen was going to die, the queen mother made an order with tears in her eyes, ordering Princess Gulun Chunmin and Prince Dongping's son to get married on November [-]th.

Because the decree of bestowing marriage was issued two years ago, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already prepared a dowry and other things.Suddenly about to get married, apart from being a little nervous, she doesn't seem flustered.

The eldest princess is now twenty.

When the decree of marriage came down the year before last, everyone was only the eldest princess and was about to get married back then.After all, the eldest princess mansion has already been built, besides, the eldest princess is already eighteen.

I don't want to, the emperor's excuse is that he doesn't want to part with his righteous sister, but he has delayed it year after year!

There is no need to speculate on what Lake is thinking in his heart.The ministers were only worried that the emperor would drag the eldest princess into an old girl, the only eldest princess in the Qing Dynasty who insisted on marriage and never married.

If it hadn't been for the Supreme Emperor to press down on him, saying, "If a beautiful girl has not been selected, she can marry herself when she is over [-] years old. If the beautiful girl waits, the princess will naturally wait." Otherwise, there would have been veterans of the clan and officials of the Ministry of Rituals who would have tried their best to remonstrate up.

November fifteenth.

On that day, Lei Ke went to the Meridian Gate to respectfully enter the ninety-nine ceremony.Twenty-nine horses, twenty-nine Linglong saddles and bridles, twenty-nine armors, twenty-one idle horses, six camels, ninety banquets, eighty-one sheep, and forty-five bottles of wine.

The emperor's relatives are here.

Baoxuan, dressed in auspicious clothes, came to say goodbye.

It was also the first time the country was founded.Except for the second princess Gulun Wenzhuang, this is the first time in the Qing Dynasty that a formally canonized eldest princess married, and Yongzheng was also the first emperor.

Therefore, on this day, Baoxuan will first go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, to salute Yongzheng, that is, Chongqing, and then to the Palace of Preserving Harmony, to salute the empress.

Because the queen was seriously ill, Qianlong ordered the imperial concubine to accept the ceremony on her behalf.

The wives and Fujins in the hall watched their noses, noses, noses, and hearts, and no one dared to raise their eyes.

Could it be that the empress is really going to die?This succeeding position...

Qianlong accepted the gift, read it according to the words of gift drawn up by the Ministry of Rites, and then said with a smile: "Princess Gulun Chunmin is here now, and as usual, she will have a banquet in the Palace of Preserving Harmony, the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and the Queen's Palace. Although the Changchun Palace has been sealed, the Eldest Princess must not be wronged because of this. For special purpose, a ninety-ninety banquet is held in the Yikun Palace to celebrate."

On the first day of December, Empress Fucha died.

Since it was the end of the year, we should not rush into the joy of the New Year. The funeral of Empress Fucha was hastily done.

Bestow posthumous titles, filial piety, to show his righteousness and goodness, kindness and philosophies, and the people think of his benefits

The Queen Mother has ordered that the New Year's sacrifice must be done without the Queen.

On December [-]th, Zhang Tingyu, a senior scholar, was appointed as the envoy, and Zha Lang'a and Fumin, the senior scholars, were appointed as deputy envoys.Holding the festival booklet and the treasure booklet, the imperial concubine Ulanara was established as the queen.

"Xiaohuai? Lost his position and died as Huaihuai, how did Brother Huang appease the Fucha family?" Baoxuan wondered.

Qianlong played with a string of rosary beads, and said, "How could the Fucha family not know what the Fucha family did? It is a kindness to let the Fucha family go. Letting the Fucha family die of illness is only for the sake of Fu Heng's official career. To the outside world, I only say that I miss the queen, and then reuse Fu Heng, who knows the deep meaning!"

"As for the Fucha family, they were able to call the concubine Zhe into the palace back then, and they wanted the eldest son to keep the blood of his Fucha family even if the concubine's son was not the eldest. Now they just dealt with a queen. Without a child, it is difficult to ask the Fucha family to help. Now it is just the Fucha family who have made a choice between her and the elder brother."

Bao Xuan asked again: "Then the emperor is satisfied with Ulanara?"

Qianlong smiled and said: "I know you have always liked her. I didn't know how she fit your heart, but now I understand that she has the bearing of a queen! Generous! Rules! The only way to relieve boredom and amuse is to agree and always be there." Gentle and gentle, a wise and noble person is enough. A virtuous and virtuous person who gives birth to an heir can be a concubine. Only a dignified and dignified person can be a queen!"
