Comprehensive attack cannon fodder

In the fourth year of Yongzheng, Yongzheng officially dealt with Yunyu and Yunyu, so Luanjia returned to the palace immediately.

There will be a draft next year, Nian Qiulan is already the imperial concubine, and she is the same as the vice queen, she needs to cooperate with the queen in the draft, so after recovering from illness, she also returned to the palace.

After returning to the palace, Nian Qiulan went to see the queen, and the queen was named imperial concubine when she was still alive. This must be said to be a slap in the face for the queen.

Unexpectedly, the queen treated her as usual, and did not have any bad feelings about her status change.

In fact, the queen sees clearly that Nian Qiulan's concubine is a foregone conclusion. No matter how reluctant she is, this is the emperor's will, and she will not disobey it. She has already seen through it all these years. Sooner or later, since Nian Qiulan knows current affairs and doesn't care about palace things, she won't make trouble out of nothing.

The queen said: "There will be a draft at the beginning of next year. This is the first draft after the emperor ascended the throne. Among the girls in this draft, two princes will be selected, and they must be careless."

"The concubine has never presided over an audition. If there is something wrong, please ask the empress to point it out." Nian Qiulan said in a respectful tone.

"It's the first time for this palace. In fact, some complicated things are done by the people below. You just need to check the list carefully." The queen smiled gently.

After discussing the general process of the draft with the queen, seeing that it was getting late, Nian Qiulan returned to the palace.

Sitting on the sedan chair, she saw a person in light green court lady's attire waiting at the gate of the palace. When Nian Qiulan got off the sedan chair, she immediately came to support her and called out in a low voice, "Your Majesty."

Nian Qiulan looked at her happily, because Nian Qiulan asked the queen for an order, so Du Heng had already come out of the clothing bureau, and had been guarding in Yikun Palace.

Du Heng helped Nian Qiulan step into the palace gate. Nian Qiulan saw that the servants in the palace were doing things in an orderly manner. When she saw her coming back, they all greeted her with joy. Flowers and potted plants, a thriving scene.

Nian Qiulan praised: "Everyone has done a good job. Today, when I return to the palace, everyone will be rewarded."

The palace people all thanked her with joy, Nian Qiulan walked into the main hall, just sat down, Du Heng had already handed over a cup of tea, Nian Qiulan gave her an appreciative glance.

After taking a sip, he asked, "How is the palace recently?"

Du Heng said: "There is nothing serious about it, it's just that Yongshou Palace heard that the fourth elder brother moved out from Yuqing Palace and smashed a lot of valuable things. Now Concubine Xi is trying to lift the confinement."

Niu Hulu knew from the palace population that Hongli went to the Old Summer Palace alone for her, and when he came back, he was kicked out of the palace by Yongzheng. He broke several pieces of Xipin's favorite porcelain and was sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Concubine Xi was under confinement and could not go to see the emperor, so someone secretly contacted her good sister, Concubine Yu. Concubine Yu and Clan Niu Hulu had a very good relationship and they always supported each other in the palace.Concubine Yu was one of the few lucky concubines in Yongzheng. During Qianlong, she was revered as Imperial Concubine Huang Kaoyu.In the 42nd year of Qianlong, the Niu Hulu family collapsed. Qianlong recalled that the Geng family and the Niu Hulu family had a deep sisterhood. Now that his mother passed away, only Concubine Yugui was left, so Concubine Jingui became Concubine Yuhuanggui.In the 49th year of Qianlong's reign, Geng's family died, and her posthumous title was Emperor Chunxi. She was the longest-lived concubine of Yongzheng.

Although concubine Yu is not favored now, but she still has a fifth elder brother, with Hong Zhou around, Yongzheng would often visit her palace.

There were big moves in the court one after another, Yunhu changed her name to Aqina, Fujin Guo Luoluo was driven back to her natal family, and her son Hongwang was the Bodhisattva protector.Yunyu changed her name to Seth Hei, and both of them were detained.

For this reason, the Nian family also received a lot of blows. After all, the eldest brother Nian Xiyao used to support Yunhu. Fortunately, the eldest brother Zhi is not in the officialdom, and only concentrates on studying his western learning.

In August, Yunyu died in Baoding; in September, Yunyu died in the prison.

With the death of these two people, most of the big stones that weighed on Yongzheng's heart were lifted.

The time for the draft was set on the eighth day of March in the fifth year of Yongzheng. Before the draft, I don't know how Concubine Yu persuaded Yongzheng. Yongzheng went with her to Yongshou Palace. When he came out, the news that Concubine Xi had been lifted spread throughout the harem.

After hearing this, Nian Qiulan didn't think much of it. It would be a matter of time before Xi concubine was lifted. If Hongli was going to marry Fujin, it would be impossible for his biological mother not to be present, right?

On this day, Xiunu entered the palace, and at the same time, a rare visitor also came to Yikun Palace.

Nian Qiulan got up early to do her makeup, and when she heard Du Heng say that Concubine Xi was coming, she thought she had heard wrongly, and then confirmed that it was Concubine Xi.

Nian Qiulan was surprised, she was all right, what was she doing here?

After changing into normal clothes and entering the main hall, he saw Concubine Xi twisting the handkerchief in his hand in a daze.

Du Heng shouted: "The imperial concubine is here—"

Concubine Xi regained her sense of shock, and hastily knelt down to pay her respects: "Greetings to the imperial concubine and empress."

Nian Qiulan sat on the horizontal throne, asked Xipin to stand up, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that sister Xipin has lifted her foot restraint, how is she doing now?"

Nian Qiulan's words felt like a knife had been stabbed in Xipin's heart, it hurt so badly.

I haven't seen her for a long time, she is already the imperial concubine, and what about her?Not only did she not go any further, but she was also dismissed as a concubine. It's ridiculous that she doesn't even know why the emperor suddenly demoted her as a concubine.

"Thank you imperial concubine for your concern. The concubine came today to ask the empress, do you know how the fourth elder brother's marriage was arranged?" Concubine Xi came here specially for Hongli's marriage.Historically, the emperor's concubine, Fujin, had been observing for a long time, and only then did he decree to bestow marriages when he felt that his family background and conduct were acceptable.But before the marriage is given, there is a list of which beautiful women are included in the scope of investigation, and this list is usually handed over to the person in charge of the draft, so not only the emperor and queen have it, but Nian's here must There is also a copy.

"The empress empress is in charge of the two elder brothers' weddings. I'm just a name. If Xi concubine wants to ask, she has to ask the empress empress." Nian Qiulan fiddled with her clothes and said with a half-smile: "Could it be that Concubine Xi has taken a fancy to some beautiful girl and wants me to mention it to the emperor?"

"Your Majesty is joking. The concubine just wants to know what the emperor's plan is for Hongli." Concubine Xi had a smile on her face. She did go to Jingren Palace to ask, but the empress was tight-lipped and didn't even give any information. She revealed that she had no choice but to put down her face and come to Yikun Palace to ask.

She had taken a fancy to Li Rongbao's daughter Fucha family early on. As Fucha family, marrying Hongli must be a great help.It's a pity that now she has been demoted to concubine Xi, and Hongli has also been expelled from the palace. She is not sure whether Hongli is still the emperor's favorite candidate.I desperately want to know the truth in my heart, and I don't hesitate to bow my head to my deadly enemy, but I have to figure it out.

Nian Qiulan raised her eyebrows: "How can I guess what the emperor is thinking. Why don't I accompany you to Qianqing Palace to ask the emperor what he means? You are the biological mother of the fourth elder brother, so it is right for you to care about your son's marriage, Your Majesty." I will definitely answer well."

The smile on Concubine Xi's face couldn't hold back anymore, if she could go to ask the emperor, wouldn't she have gone there long ago, why would she need to come here?

Coincidentally, Yongzheng just came over to have breakfast, seeing Concubine Xi, Yongzheng was a little surprised: "Why is Concubine Xi here?"

Just as Concubine Xi was about to speak, she heard Nian Qiulan rushing to say: "Concubine Xi came to ask the emperor what kind of concubine Fujin he wanted to show Hongli. Concubine Xi, the mother-in-law, is still waiting to see her daughter-in-law!"

Yongzheng's face turned gloomy, "Concubine Xi, go back to the palace, I have my own plans for Hongli's successor Fujin."

Concubine Xi choked, the emperor didn't even give her a chance to explain.

He said in a low voice, "The concubine will leave." Concubine Xi walked away in despair.

On the day of the official palace selection, Nian Qiulan faced fat and thin girls all over the palace, all of them exuded youthful vigor, not only the other concubines felt uncomfortable, even Nian Qiulan looked at Yongzheng with some worry.

Yongzheng seemed to have a sense, and when Nian Qiulan looked at him, he turned his head at the same time. He slightly curled his lips at Nian Qiulan, and then continued to look at the beautiful girl in the hall, but Nian Qiulan was confused. She racked her brains and couldn't figure out what Yongzheng's subtle smile meant.

Later, when the draft was over, Yongzheng didn't keep anyone. He only picked a Gege of the Han army flag for Hongshi, and he chose a Fujin for Hongli and Hongzhou. Hongzhou's Fujin was Wu Zaku, and Hongli's Fujin Fucha Chuyun, the eldest daughter of Li Rongbao, the chief executive of Chahar, is also the sister of Fucha Gege.

Yongzheng was always hesitant when he appointed Hongli as the heir to Fujin.

What Hongli has done in these years is completely unqualified in the eyes of Yongzheng. How can such a person be worthy of the heavy responsibility of the crown prince?

So now he is carefully cultivating Fuhui, hoping that Fuhui will not let him down.

The Fucha family had a great influence in the court, and Yongzheng really didn't want to let this family go. At the same time, Fucha Chuyun was also a rare talented woman.It's a pity, Fuhui is too young, if he is five or six years older, he can keep the Fucha family first.

After much deliberation, Yongzheng finally gave Hongli and Fucha a marriage. He hoped that with a good wife like Fucha, he could persuade Hongli well.

Concubine Xi saw that her daughter-in-law was the most powerful Fucha family among the show girls, and felt that Yongzheng had not given up on Hongli in his heart, so she smiled a little when she saw her.

Regarding this, Nian Qiulan could only shake her head, how could she let Concubine Xi get what she wanted?

Hongli's wedding is at the beginning of July this year, while Hongzhou is getting married at the end of July. The time between their weddings is very close, so the House of Internal Affairs is very busy. The two princes are getting married one after another. The things they need to prepare are as follows: Too much, these things have to be seen by the queen before she can be sure, but the queen is overworked and feels a little uncomfortable, so she asks Nian Qiulan to help.
