Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Chapter 177: Farce before the Coffin

Only Concubine Yi, who had a tacit understanding with the Imperial Concubine and made the same choice, placing the same bet on the Crown Prince, understood this.

It is impossible to say that Concubine Yi had no desire to fight in the early days.

As royal nobles, no one would be willing to let their son become a slave in the future.

However, Concubine Yi wanted to do something, but her son did not cooperate, so there was nothing she could do.

She has three sons.

The fifth prince, Yinqi, was raised by the Empress Dowager and was naturally excluded.

The ninth prince, Yinzhen, and the tenth prince were always playing tricks on each other in the palace. They were simply two devils.

Moreover, Yinzhen was not interested in literature or martial arts, but only liked gold, silver, yellow and white things.

Not to mention the eleventh prince Yinzhen. He was in poor health and often fell ill. It was hard to say whether he could be raised. Concubine Yi was so worried about this son that her hair almost turned white.

So she had no choice but to give up and find a good support for her three sons.

The prince is not only the legitimate heir, but also the emperor's admirer and lover.

She doesn't have much political sensitivity, but she can learn from others!

The imperial concubine was from the Niuhuru clan, and even the Niuhuru clan chose the prince, so it must be more stable.

So Concubine Yi followed the footsteps of the Imperial Concubine without hesitation and boarded the ship of Yuqing Palace, allowing the two children to have contact with Yuqing Palace and never interfering!

Yinreng and Wanyu could guess the content of the conversation between the imperial concubine and the emperor.

Most likely it was about Yin marrying a Mongolian concubine in the future.

The imperial concubine had hinted to Wanyu earlier.

As for other things, they believed that as long as the imperial concubine was a smart person, she would not do anything else.

In the 33rd year of the Kangxi reign, at noon on the third day of the eleventh month, the funeral bell rang in the palace, and the imperial concubine Niuhulu passed away.

Yin? Tears streamed down his face all day, his eyes red and swollen from crying, and he stood guard in front of the imperial concubine's coffin in Yongshou Palace, unwilling to leave.

Yinzhen couldn't bear to let his good brother face it alone, so he stayed by Yinzhen's side the whole time.

Seeing how loyal and righteous Yinzhen was to Yinzhen now, Wanyu could suddenly understand why Yinzhen in history, who obviously didn't have to worry about anything and would eventually get the title of prince, still followed Yinzhen around.

He followed the eighth prince Yinsi and supported Yinsi in his bid for the throne.

Because the person he helped from beginning to end was not the so-called Eighth Wise Prince Yinsi, but his good brother Ninth Prince Yin'er.

When the imperial concubine passed away, Dunzhu conveyed the emperor's will to the cabinet minister Yisan'a and others, asking them to propose a posthumous title for the imperial concubine and the specifications and procedures for her funeral.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the Cabinet worked with the Ministry of Rites to clarify the procedures and specifications for the funeral ceremony and drafted several titles.

In the end, Kangxi listened to the advice of his ministers and decided to give Concubine Nianhulu the posthumous title of "Wenxi".

Until the fifth day of November, the coffin of Concubine Wenxi was temporarily placed in the funeral palace outside Chaoyang Gate. Not only the princes and princesses and their relatives, but also Manchu and Han ministers of the third rank and above went to the funeral palace.

All the men, women, young and old from the Ebilun branch of the Niuhuru clan who were still there were also mourning for the imperial concubine here.

Wanyu also met several of Ebilun's surviving sons.

The third son was Faka, the fourth son was Yanzhu, the fifth son was Fubao, the sixth son was Yinde, and the seventh son was Alinga.

She focused her observations on Faka and Alinga.

Faka was Ebilun's third son. His first two sons died early. Faka was Ebilun's eldest son, and his status was similar to that of the eldest prince Yinzhi.

But the fate of the two can be said to be very different, but neither can be said to be good.

Faka was granted the title, but was later stripped of it, and even his descendants did not have a good ending.

Although Yinzhi had been competing with the crown prince for a long time, he never got the position of crown prince. Later, he was even imprisoned by his own Khan father.

In order to give birth to a legitimate son, he spent the first half of his life waiting for his legitimate wife to die.

This legitimate son never grew up.

After being imprisoned, they gave up completely and gave birth to children like crazy, but not many of them survived.

Even the descendants of this lineage have few prospects.

Fakhar's second wife was Hesheli, the daughter of Hesheli Gabula, and the sister of Empress Renxiao Hesheli. Fakhar could also be considered Yinreng's uncle.

Judging from their maternal bloodline, Yinreng and Yin? could be considered cousins.

Alinga was Ebilun's only surviving legitimate son and also his youngest son.

The reason why Faka was able to inherit Ebilun's title was not only because he had an older sister, the queen, and a younger sister, the imperial concubine, but also because he was older.

Wanyu also met Alinga's wife, Uya, who was indeed somewhat similar to Depin in the palace.

Behind the couple were two little boys, who were probably their legitimate sons, Alben'a and Alson'a.

What impressed Wanyu most about the Uya clan, apart from the fact that they had produced a queen mother, was that the women of the Uya clan were very fertile.

There is no need for Depin, as she gave birth to many children.

Her sister, who married Alinga, was no less impressive.

Historically, this woman gave birth to four sons and three daughters for Alinga.

Moreover, she was quite capable. At least, apart from the ones she gave birth to, there was no record of any other illegitimate children.

Wanyu glanced at everyone in the Niuhulu family, looked at Faka and Faka's wife Hesheli, and then quickly looked away.

Just as everyone was paying tribute to the imperial concubine, something that Wanyu had expected but surprised everyone else happened in the imperial concubine's funeral palace.

In the mourning hall, in front of the imperial concubine's coffin, Alinga spread rumors that Faka had seduced his third brother Fubao's wife and wanted to rape her.

This incident caused quite a stir after Alinga made a scene at the imperial concubine's mourning hall.

Yin? He clenched his fists and stared coldly at his uncle who was causing trouble in his mother's funeral hall, his heart filled with hatred!

Wanyu patted Yin's back and whispered, "He's just a clown. Don't worry, Xiaoshi."

Yinzhen also spoke passionately on the microphone: "Tenth brother, Aling'a actually dared to disrupt your mother's mourning hall. This is extremely disrespectful to your mother. You don't have to consider him your uncle anymore!"

Yin? He didn't say anything, but his expression showed agreement.

Faka looked at Alinga who was talking nonsense in front of the mourning hall with anger.

He suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Wanyu, and after seeing Wanyu nod, he walked up to Alinga with blazing eyes.

He slapped Alinga hard in front of everyone and even pushed him to the ground.

Faka's face twisted as he shouted angrily, "You bastard!"

"You and I have a grudge and you want to slander me and put me to death. I have nothing to say about this because I feel the same way."

"But you absolutely should not have exposed the family dispute so blatantly in the Imperial Concubine's mourning hall. You disturbed the Imperial Concubine's peace here and made her restless."

"I'm not done with you for today's matter!"

"Not only have you slandered me, but you've also damaged the reputation of my third sister-in-law. Even Fu Bao has been harmed by you, and you've also ruined the Imperial Concubine's purity."

"You have completely disgraced our Niuhulu clan!"

"Although you have now inherited your father's title, our Niuhulu family still has many elders!"

"I want to see how you, a sinner who has brought shame to the family and disturbed the Imperial Concubine's peace, will defend yourself!"

"Since you dare to slander me in broad daylight, I will not waste any more words with you."

"We can just make our statement in person before the Emperor!"

"The Emperor will decide right from wrong!"

After saying that, Faka grabbed Alinga by the collar and rushed straight to the Qianqing Palace in the palace, demanding to see the emperor.

I beg the Emperor to make a decision for him, the deceased imperial concubine, and the Niuhuru clan!
