Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Guwaljia Mansion is a large complex courtyard house with an area of ​​over ten thousand square meters, containing dozens of courtyards of various sizes.

Since the eldest son Shi Wenbing was granted marriage, except for the front yard where the men worked and met guests, the entire backyard was divided into three courtyards: east, middle and west.

The middle courtyard was inhabited by the two heads of the family, Shi Huashan and Jueluo, as well as Shi Huashan's concubines.

The east wing is the courtyard of the eldest son's wife, and the west wing is the residential courtyard of the second son's wife.

Because there were only two masters in the Guwaljia family and the family had not split up, the children of the two families were ranked together.

Currently, there are five young masters and four ladies in the two houses.

The eldest family, the eldest master Shi Wenbing, was appointed general of Fuzhou two years ago, and is currently in office and not in the capital.

He had one wife and seven concubines, and had three sons and two daughters.

The legitimate wife was also a member of the imperial clan, Jueluo, and the second daughter of Duolo Baylor Chang Adai.

Because the two female masters in the mansion were both from the Aisin-Gioro clan, the eldest wife was called Xiao Gioro.

Xiao Jueluo gave birth to two sons and one daughter. Because she had to be filial to her parents-in-law, she also had to take care of the son and daughter who stayed in the capital.

Especially since her own daughter has reached the age of election and is a popular candidate for the Crown Princess, she now stays in the Guwaljia Mansion in the capital.

My uncle Fu Dali was born in the third year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi.

In the 21st year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, he married Niuhulu, and they had a son and a daughter. She followed Shi Wenbing to work in Fuzhou.

Now, all the affairs in the backyard in Fuzhou are taken care of by the eldest daughter-in-law, Niuhulu. This was a special order from Xiaojueluo.

Because she has been in the capital for the past few years, she is worried that the concubines will become restless.

As the next mistress, no one could say anything when Niuhuru took on this burden.

The second master, Qingde, was born in the ninth year of the Kangxi reign.

In the 27th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, one year before Shi Wenbing took office, he married Shushujueluo, who was now pregnant.

Qingde served as a third-class guard in the palace, mainly responsible for routine palace guard work.

The second princess, Shi Wanlin, was the former Crown Princess and was born in the 16th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign.

The concubine Li Jia was a maid arranged by the old lady Jueluo for her stepson.

After Xiaojueluo married in, she was promoted to a concubine because she was considered to be well-behaved and sensible.

After giving birth to her eldest son, she stopped taking contraceptive medicine and gave birth to the eldest princess Shi Wanying in the fourth year of Kangxi's reign.

A few years ago, she married General Aisin-Gioro Deyi as his principal wife.

The concubine, An Jia, gave birth to the fifth young master, Guanyinbao, two years ago when she was accompanying her uncle in his post in Fuzhou.

The concubine Niuhulu also gave birth to a little princess in the first half of this year. She is the fourth princess in the mansion and is named Shi Wanqiong.

Now there is another woman named Wu Zaku who is also pregnant and it is estimated that she will give birth at the end of the year.

Although the doctor's pulse diagnosis showed that the baby was very likely to be a princess, it was impossible to confirm it before the baby was born.

But Wanyu guessed that the doctor's diagnosis was almost correct.

As far as she knew, Shi Wenbing had two daughters in history. One married the legitimate wife of Prince Yuke Aisin-Gioro Yinyu, and the other married the successor wife Baotai, the son of Prince Yu Fuquan.

Although it is not known why the fourth sister was able to marry the prince as a concubine, based on the time estimation, the ages of these two younger sisters are the most suitable.

In addition to the concubines mentioned above, there are also concubines Bayan, Wu, Jin, etc. who are also in office.

The second branch was Shi Wenzhuo's, and his wife was Fucha, the only legitimate daughter of Fucha Misihan.

The second house now has two sons and one daughter, all born to Fucha.

Shi Liha, the eldest son of the second wife, is now the third young master in the mansion. He was born in the 15th year of Kangxi's reign. He is currently studying in the Imperial College and has not yet married.

However, his marriage had already been decided, and it was decided in the 17th year of the Kangxi reign.

Because this fiancée is the great-grandniece of the old lady Jueluo, and the legitimate daughter of the previous Prince Duolowen, Aisin Gioro Foyonghui.

The Gioro family and the first Prince Duolowen, Aisin Gioro Meng'e, were siblings from the same mother.

They were all born to Prince Su Haoge's concubine Shuolong Wu.

After Meng'e died in the 13th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, his eldest son Fo Yonghui, born to his wife Borjigit, the daughter of Qitat, the Prince of Duoluo, inherited the title of Prince of Wen.

However, the good times did not last long. In the 17th year of the Kangxi reign, Fo Yonghui was injured during the Three Feudatories Rebellion and died less than half a year later.

At that time, Fo Yonghui's wife, Nara, was already pregnant with Fo Yonghui's posthumous child.

Before Fo Yonghui passed away, he was worried about his wife and children.

Therefore, he found his aunt, Jueluo, and wanted her to take care of his wife and children.

After all, his biological mother died of illness when he was young. Now the old lady in the mansion is his stepmother, Meng'e's stepmother, Guaerjia, and this stepmother also has her own children.

Because he was her nephew, Jueluo agreed to Fo Yonghui's request.

So the two of them agreed that if Concubine Nara gave birth to a prince, he would be Fo Yonghui's only son and would naturally inherit the title of Prince Wen.

All we have to do is protect the little prince and help him grow up.

But if the daughter of the concubine was a little princess, and the prince father was no longer around, the title would fall into the hands of her second uncle Aisin Gioro Yanshou.

Even if her second uncle treats her well, she may not live a good life after marrying into her husband's family without the support of her maternal family.
