The prince only allowed me to have a baby, so the pressure is a bit high!

Chapter 104: Finding Faults One After Another

Suddenly, a young girl's voice rang out in the room: "The Crown Princess is very generous. Such a gift is given without hesitation. I thank the Crown Princess again.

I will definitely go to support Zuihuayan when it opens in the New Year. But I heard that the Crown Princess has a new thing called canned oranges, which is said to be very effective in treating wind-heat and internal heat.

Jiayan thought that her grandmother was getting old and was starting to suffer from some illnesses, but she felt bad for letting her grandmother not drink the bitter medicine.

I would like to ask the Crown Princess to have mercy on me and make this recipe public, so that all the elderly people present here can benefit from it and have to endure less suffering from the bitter medicine."

Bu Erhe didn't expect that Jia Yan was waiting for him here. This recipe was originally thought out to make money. Even if it didn't make money, it would be a good thing to keep it in hand and use it to appease the Queen Mother and the Emperor every year. As a result, she asked for the recipe directly with her upper and lower lips. How shameless is this!

Besides, even if the recipe is really made public, no one present will be grateful to me. They will only thank Guo Luoluo Jiayan for letting her make the recipe public. She is the good person in the whole thing.

The Empress Dowager also reacted at this time and wanted to speak and scold, but was dissuaded by Bu Erhe with his eyes. Even the wives of Prince Yu and Prince Gong, who were beside Bu Erhe, looked at Bu Erhe with worry.

Buerhe also smiled at the two aunts in turn, indicating that they were relieved. Then he smiled at Jiayan, who was standing in the crowd, and said, "It is rare for Jiayan to be so filial. I will help her. Come, bring over the canned food recipe."

Seeing Buerhe compromise, Jiayan couldn't help but raise her head and looked at Buerhe with a sarcastic look. Buerhe was not angry. She sat there and smiled, but silently wished in her heart that after today, Jiayan would still be able to laugh.

The palace servants moved quickly, and in less than a quarter of an hour the small box containing the prescription was brought over. After opening it, Buerhe verified that it was indeed the prescription, then covered the box. He then took out a bat-shaped gold hairpin and placed it on the box, signaling the palace servants to send it to Jiayan Gege.

Buerhe: "Princess Jiayan's filial piety is touching. I don't have any reward, so I will give you this golden bat. I hope everything goes well for you."

When the Queen Mother saw Buerhe's actions, although she didn't know why she took the initiative to give him the noodles and jewelry, she knew that the granddaughter-in-law raised by her good friend was not a good person. Although she didn't look for trouble, she would face it head-on and kill it with a slap.

Seeing this, he also rewarded her with a golden ruyi to commend her filial piety.

For a time, the object of envy of everyone in the palace became Princess Guo Luoluo, the future Eighth Concubine.

Concubine Yi was confused watching from the side, but she was clear about one thing, that is, her cousin was a stupid fool with a poor brain. What happened today was definitely not something she could have thought of. There must be someone guiding her from behind.

Moreover, it seems that the Crown Princess is at a disadvantage now, but if you think about her life in the palace in the past few years, it is clear that no one who offends her can escape.

Didn't you see that his former mortal enemy, Concubine De, has been silent for a long time and has never dared to show up? How glorious she was in her time, with two sons and a daughter, and she was one of the four concubines, with the huge bannerman family, the Uya family, behind her.

But now, not only has she become a concubine, she lives alone in the cold palace of Yonghe Palace, and only has the underage Fourteenth Prince by her side. The emperor does not allow the Fourteenth Prince to visit her from time to time, believing that Depin will lead the little Fourteenth Prince astray. Even her natal family is now just an ordinary servant, no longer serving the Forbidden City, and her master has directly changed from the emperor to an ordinary member of the royal family.

Seeing this, Buerhe just smiled and said nothing. This made Concubine Yi, who saw her expression at the side, even more convinced that she should not have any contact with this cousin in the future. Not to mention her friendship with the Crown Princess in recent years, Kejing and Yin'er were both favored by the Crown Princess, and Yin'er was still cooperating with the Crown Princess. She would not betray the Crown Princess.

Thinking of this, she ordered the senior palace maid who followed her to find time to contact her family and warn them not to care about Jiayan anymore and it would be best not to have any contact with her. Anyway, the Prince An's Mansion had already announced to the public that Jiayan was not a member of the Guo Luoluo family, so why should she bother to curry favor with them?

Seeing the palace maids leave obediently, Concubine Yi finally felt relieved. Apart from anything else, her family members still listened to her words. She didn't want them to have much contact with her, so even if they had doubts in their hearts, they would think more about it and pay attention to her attitude.

After all, Jiayan was only the future Eighth Concubine, while she was the current favorite concubine, Concubine Yi. A small bald prince's wife could not compare to her now.

The matter of Princess Jiayan had just come to an end. Bu Erhe felt that the time was almost up, so he suggested that the Queen Mother go to the rear to rest. Several elderly concubines could also go to the side hall to rest. As for those who had families in the palace, they could go directly to reunite. Those young princesses could also go to the Imperial Garden for a walk if they got bored.

This is also the time once a year when family members can reunite with the concubines without having to pass on a name card. In addition, since it was Buerhe who proposed it, the Queen Mother agreed. Then the Ciren Palace quickly dispersed, and everyone looked for where they wanted to go next.

In fact, this was also Kangxi's order yesterday. He was in a good mood this year and thought that these concubines had not seen their families for a long time, so he sent a eunuch to pass a message to Burhe in the morning, asking her to find an opportunity to show her favor. The empress dowager was also aware of this matter, so when Burhe proposed it just now, the empress dowager did not object at all and directly approved it.

This was also the longest Buerhe had sat since she became pregnant. She couldn't wait to rush back to Yuqing Palace with the palace maids. It was still early before the dinner, so she could go back to Yuqing Palace and rest up. After sitting there for so long in her coat and imperial crown, her back and waist were already aching.

Soon after leaving Ciren Palace, someone called out from behind, "Crown Princess, please stay." When Buerhe turned around and looked, he found that it was a young girl of about fourteen years old. She was accompanied by only a maid. She was wearing a rose-red Manchu dress and stood there pretty and lovely like a crabapple in the wind.

The woman stepped forward and bowed, "Greetings, Crown Princess."

Bull and called out, and at the same time looked at each other carefully. Well, she was indeed good-looking, pretty and charming, and with that shy look, she looked like a real little white flower.

Buerhe didn't indulge the other woman. Even if she was beautiful, delicate, and worthy of pity, as a woman, she didn't have the sympathy for women. Moreover, there was no floor heating outside, and the wind was howling. Staying out for too long would only make her cold. She was pregnant, and her body would only become weaker. So she asked bluntly, "Excuse me, which princess are you? Why are you stopping me here?"

The other party was stunned by Bull's straightforward tone. He probably didn't expect the Crown Princess to speak in this style. Nowadays, women in the capital are speaking and acting more and more like Chinese people. They often have delicate expressions and movements, and their tone of voice is mostly euphemistic and implicit. It usually takes a long time for them to get to the point.

Seeing the other party standing there in a daze, still pondering how to respond, Buerhe didn't have the patience to wait. Instead, he said bluntly, "If you have nothing to do, Princess, you can go stroll around the Imperial Garden with your peers. I see you've never been to the Forbidden City before, so you should seize this opportunity to visit the Imperial Garden. If you get lost or don't know how to get there, that's not a big deal." He then casually pointed to a young eunuch and said, "Come here."

After seeing the young eunuch coming over, Bu Erhe ordered: "This princess can't find the way to the Imperial Garden. Please help lead the way." As soon as he finished speaking, Qi'er took out a purse from his sleeve and gave it to the young eunuch as a reward.

The young eunuch thanked him repeatedly. This job was not difficult at all, just showing the way. If he could get the purse of Yuqing Palace, then this year could be considered a prosperous one. Everyone in the palace knew that the Crown Princess was a generous and kind person.

At this moment, the princess spoke up: "Crown Princess, I don't want to go to the Imperial Garden, I want to go to Yuqing Palace."

As soon as these words were spoken, Buerhe understood what the other party meant. He waved his hand to signal the eunuch to leave, then faced the princess and said, "Oh, I don't know why you want to go back to Yuqing Palace with me, princess. I don't know you."

The princess was anxious and quickly reported her family background: "I am Ma Jia, my father is Nuomin, the Minister of Justice, and my grandfather is Tu Hai, the Duke of Zhongda."

After hearing this, Bull thought for a moment and immediately knew who the other party was from. He had never expected that the granddaughter of General Tu Hai, whom his father admired so much, would look like this.

You should know that General Tu Hai has followed the royal family for many years. Since the time of the late emperor, he has helped suppress the anti-Qing struggle forces in all places and all classes. In the meantime, he also helped to pacify Chahar, subdue Wang Fuchen, and pacify the Three Feudatories. Even the Empress Dowager praised Tu Hai: he has outstanding talents and is worthy of the responsibility.

In the 20th year of the Kangxi reign, Tu Hai returned to court. Emperor Kangxi summoned him to the Qianqing Gate and commended him. On the 10th day of the 12th month, Tu Hai requested sick leave, but Emperor Kangxi persuaded him to stay. On the 19th day of the 12th month, Tu Hai died. Emperor Kangxi ordered his ministers and guards to offer tea and wine, and bestowed upon him three thousand taels of silver and a brocade horse. In the second month of the 21st year of the Kangxi reign, he was buried and given two additional sacrifices. He was posthumously named Wenxiang.

In June, his son Nuomin inherited the title of Duke of the Third Rank. In November, the "Veritable Records of the Qing Emperor Taizong" was completed. Tu Hai, who had served as the chief editor of the compilation, was posthumously awarded the title of Shao Bao and continued to serve as the Prince's Tutor. In May of the 22nd year of the Kangxi reign, an imperial inscription was written praising Tu Hai's life's work.

Knowing the other party's identity, the Crown Princess became a little more patient. The other party was Tu Hai's heir, and as the Crown Princess, she should treat him well.

Buerhe: "Well, I already know your identity, but I'm not sure how to explain your wish to go to Yuqing Palace. I'm feeling a little unwell right now and would like to go back and rest. If it's nothing serious, then we can say goodbye."

Seeing that even after revealing her identity, the Crown Princess remained indifferent, Ma Jia immediately lost her temper. Her usual tactics were futile, and she knelt in the snow in front of Buerhe, crying and begging, "I beg you to calm down, Crown Princess. I have admired the Crown Prince for a long time, and I want to help you, Your Majesty, take care of him. I promise I will not disturb you and your relationship. I only wish to be closer to him, even if it means no official status. I am willing to stay by his side. If Your Majesty doesn't like me, please treat me as a small flower or grass, and place it anywhere in Yuqing Palace. I have no complaints, and I hope Your Majesty will show some mercy."

After the whole call, Buerhe was not angry at all, but Qi'er, who was supporting Buerhe, was very angry. She had never seen such a shameless person. A Manchu noble lady came directly to ask to be a concubine and talked about flowers and grass. These gossips made her so sick that she almost vomited.

Just as Qi'er was about to step forward and slap Ma Jia, Bu'erhe held her back and said to Ma Jia, "Princess Ma Jia, I think you've got the wrong person. The women around the Crown Prince of Yuqing Palace are not something I, a mere Crown Princess, can decide. Besides, you're the granddaughter of Lord Zhongda. With your status, you're more than qualified to be a concubine. There's no need to mention the idea of ​​a minor concubine; it undermines your status."

This palace suggests that Princess Ma Jia should ask Lord Nuomin to ask the Emperor. If the Emperor selects you to enter the Yuqing Palace in next year's selection, this palace will definitely prepare a bed to welcome you."

After saying this, he left with the people from Yuqing Palace without caring about Ma Jia Gege who was still kneeling on the ground.
