Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Yucui also brought a message for the Crown Princess.

"Anything sent in from outside should be examined by the imperial physician before use by the concubine and the unborn child."

"Not only clothing, jewelry, and medicinal herbs, but also charcoal, spices, etc. In short, everything that enters Jinglan Courtyard must be carefully inspected by the imperial physician."

Wanlin immediately nodded in understanding.

She didn't expect that her third sister knew more than someone like her who had lived a second life.

She originally thought that with her experience in her previous life, she should be able to thrive in the Fourth Master's backyard.

Since she was able to successfully marry in as a concubine, she would also be able to successfully become pregnant and give birth to a child, and her own child would be able to take over the throne smoothly in the future.

Unexpectedly, I was plotted against so early on.

If her third sister hadn't reminded her, the baby in her womb might have been miscarried silently, and she might even have thought she was having her period.

The more I think about it, the more frightened and ashamed I feel.

She felt that she was still too careless and too dependent on the memories of her past life.

Now that her third sister has reminded her again, she will definitely be more careful.

Wanlin has been carefully protecting the fetus in her belly.

Wanyu from Yuqing Palace has also been very busy and has no free time.

More than a month has passed since she was crowned Crown Princess.

The winter solstice has just passed and we have already entered winter.

It's windy and snowy outside, and it's getting colder day by day.

The closer it gets to the end of the year, the more palace banquets are arranged in the palace.

For example, Laba Festival is coming soon, and after Laba Festival it will be the New Year, and the New Year and Spring Festival will be busy for several consecutive days.

After the Spring Festival comes the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, also known as the Lantern Festival.

The royal family still attaches great importance to this festival and will hold a grand lantern festival for it.

According to Crown Prince Yinreng, according to the old custom, the emperor should hold the Lantern Festival celebration in Changchun Garden.

There will be a variety of exquisite lanterns on display at the Lantern Festival, including domino lanterns, longevity lanterns, cloud lanterns, fortune, wealth and longevity lanterns, etc. The scene is very spectacular.

In addition, arrangements will be made for the eunuchs and maids in the palace to celebrate the festival, just like ordinary people do on the streets.

Entertainment activities such as theatrical performances, stilt walking, and street vendors were arranged so that the entire royal family could enjoy the festive joy of the common people.

This is her first year in the palace as the Crown Princess.

Everyone will be looking at her, and she has to be careful.

She not only needed to find out in advance the schedule of the palace banquets during these festivals, but also the gifts prepared for the elders and princes and princesses.

It must be in line with the position of the Crown Princess, not lose face, and also have a certain degree of novelty.

Wanyu is now most busy with Laba Festival, which is almost here.

As the Crown Princess, on the Laba Festival, ladies from outside the royal family and other wives would come to pay their respects and present gifts to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.

And the princes and princesses below should also express their friendship.

The Crown Princess needs to dress up formally to receive guests in her own main hall, arrange seats according to status, express gratitude when accepting gifts, and give some appropriate gifts in return as a reward.

With the early reminder from Nanny Lin and Nanny Sun, Wanyu instructed the Imperial Household Department in advance to make a large number of exquisite jewelry with different patterns, such as bracelets, earrings, hairpins, bracelets, etc.

There are also some specially made sachets, handkerchiefs, etc.

In order to express her feelings, she drew the patterns herself, which are very unique compared to ordinary patterns.

But these things cannot be prepared for the princes and princesses.

She is the Crown Princess and is one with the Crown Prince. All her interactions are in the name of the Eastern Palace.

She asked the chefs in the kitchen to prepare not only a new variety of Laba porridge, but also several kinds of exquisite and delicious snacks.

All the snacks are packed in boxes, and the snacks are beautifully arranged and packed in boxes.

It looks beautiful, appetizing, and exquisite. It is not simple at first glance and is very innovative.

Not only that, we also prepared each person's favorite items according to their preferences.

For example, the eldest prince liked to wield swords and guns, so she found a long whip presented by Mongolia from the warehouse of the East Palace.

The third prince was interested in Chinese studies, so he prepared books, calligraphy and paintings.

The brothers have different preferences, so it is very easy to pick out items that they will like.

As for the princesses, it's even simpler.

The emperor's adopted daughter, Princess Chunxi, Princess Rongxian, born to Concubine Rong, and Princess Duanjing, born to Concubine Zhaojia, have all married.

There are only seven princesses in the palace now.

The fourth princess born to noble lady Guo Luoluo, the fifth, seventh and eighth princesses born to consort De, the sixth princess born to noble lady Nara, the ninth princess born to concubine Yuan, and the tenth princess born to concubine Zhangjia.

Although the princesses are of different ages, they are all girls after all, so there is no problem in giving them beautiful fabric jewelry.

Even though the princesses who were ranked lower were too young to wear hairpins and jewelry, they would be able to wear them someday as long as their mothers were around.

She is the only female master in the Eastern Palace, so she has no shortage of these things.

The fabric jewelry that Wanyu selected is not only beautiful, but also of high quality.

Wanyu gave fabrics and jewelry to everyone equally, which not only satisfied the princesses' biological mothers, but also the empress dowager and the emperor.

Especially those concubines of low rank and unfavored.

Since she herself was not favored, the princess she gave birth to was also not valued, and it was easy for the Imperial Household Department to withhold her and the princess's share.

Life is not easy.

Therefore, I am very grateful for the Crown Princess's equal treatment and the precious and thoughtful gift.

The gifts she prepared for the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were different.

Originally, Aunt Lin Jia suggested that she could embroider some clothes or headbands by herself.

But Wanyu was not good at needlework at all!

Knowing that the Empress Dowager liked to worship Buddha, she took Yinreng with her and copied Buddhist scriptures and the Book of Filial Piety for the two elders.

I was still in the warehouse, picking out some things that were not wrong but also looked valuable.

It is thoughtful, precious, and relatively simple.

It’s not that Wanyu was perfunctory, there were simply many important days that needed to be celebrated in the palace.

It is better to give truly valuable and innovative gifts during the New Year or other prosperous times.

Otherwise I won’t know what to give when the time comes.

Wanyu was well prepared.

So on the Laba Day, she behaved very steadily and dignifiedly, and no one could find any fault with her.

This greatly disappointed many people in the former dynasty and the harem who wanted to see the Eastern Palace make a fool of itself.

After all, it is well known that the candidate for the Crown Princess that the Emperor had chosen from among the Guwaljia clan was originally supposed to be Consort Mu, the Fourth Prince's wife.

Even Guaerjia was the legitimate daughter raised by the family, and she was also the concubine Mu.

Ever since Concubine Mu married into the Fourth Prince's backyard, everyone has been looking at her from time to time.

I can only say that he is worthy of being trained by the emperor himself.

Dignified and virtuous, gentle and generous, she knows when to advance and when to retreat.

Entering the Fourth Prince's backyard, I have never heard of any conflicts between him and the Fourth Lady.

[If she hadn't been unexpectedly rescued by the Fourth Prince, and the two of them had had physical contact, I'm afraid this person would be the true Crown Princess! ]

This is probably everyone's perception except the prince!

Therefore, everyone thought that Wanyu got the position of Crown Princess by taking advantage of her elder sister.

Although this Crown Princess had a good reputation among the Manchu aristocracy before she got married.

But that all has to do with character and talent.

If she were to marry into an ordinary Manchu noble family, no one would doubt that she could bear the responsibilities of a consort.

But becoming a Crown Princess is not necessarily the case!
