The old man in the imperial city

That night, when Yinhu heard that the emperor was staying in Chuxiu Palace, he was still evil in his heart, and silently laughed at the fourth child who finally couldn't bear the pressure or was so stupid that he attacked Huang Mama.

The next day, Yinhu waited excitedly for the eunuch to send Tongshi over to get his seal stamped, but the one who waited was Huang Ama with a face full of pits.

Yinhuhu questioned Wu Liangfu: "Wu Adanda, why did the emperor send the third elder brother to Chengqian Palace?" It must not be what he thought.

Wu Liangfu bowed his knees flatteringly and smiled: "The emperor said that the concubine's confinement must be boring. I can't visit it in person, so I can't help worrying about it day and night. Yesterday I saw that the third elder brother was smart, and he was specially allowed to be fostered in Chengqian Palace for three to five days. He was enlightened by the concubine." .”

Yinhu could hardly hold back his smile.

Wu Liangfu saw that the imperial concubine's face seemed happy but sad, so he added another sentence: "Your Majesty, the emperor said, seeing this son is like seeing me, the imperial concubine can rest in peace and recuperate, and there is no need to avoid suspicion if she wants to send a message to Qianqing Palace."

Yinhu was already unable to complain, so he forced Wu Liangfu to reward Wu Liangfu with a grateful expression on his face, and only paid attention to his confidants in the inner palace.

Yinhu ordered someone to bring the third elder brother who had just turned one year to him, and looked at the third elder brother from head to toe with a pair of beautiful eyes.

The third elder brother was a little scared when he saw strangers. Er Niang only taught him to recognize the emperor's mama, and when he saw bright yellow clothes, he should kowtow and call him Huang's ama, but he didn't know what to do when he met other people.After being reminded by the nanny next to the third elder brother in a low voice, the third elder brother called out vaguely: "Er Niang..." The imperial concubine Er Niang is too difficult for a one-year-old child, so he saved it all, just remembering The two most frequently spoken words.

Yinhu's face was contorted, and he wished to beat the fourth child eight hundred times with a whip.However, he had no choice but to put on a warm and gentle smile, and waved at the third elder brother: "Xuan Ye, come here, let... Ben Gong take a good look."

The nanny pushed the third elder brother, and the third elder brother stepped forward awkwardly.

Feeling uncomfortable all over, Yinhu took out the courage he had used to deal with Hongwang, took off his nail covers and touched the thickness of the third elder brother's clothes with his own hands, and began to ask the nanny what the third elder brother ate and did every day.

Yinzhen was waiting to see Lao Ba's jokes in Qianqing Palace, and soon heard that Chengqian Palace's small kitchen was flying like a dog and started preparing San Age's favorite snacks, and immediately felt it was worth it.The old eight bought people's hearts and used them with these few tricks. If the money is not enough, he will use it for food, and don't think about it. Huang Ama only has eight teeth.

After the fall of the court that day, the emperor was lectured by the queen mother in the palace of compassion, implying that the emperor should not send the elder brother born by Tong Jia's family to Chengqian palace to please a woman. Royal heirs are never a joke.

The emperor finally felt that he had avenged half of the revenge he was forced to bargain with the queen mother last time. He could not only use the old man to scare the old man, but also increase his hatred.Just thinking about the old Baqiang making a happy face and playing the kind concubine to Huang Ama can make you laugh out loud.

The empress dowager elaborated that this move was inappropriate, and the emperor refused to let go. He only said that it was even more unbeautiful to change the decree. If the Queen Mother feels that she is unfair to Concubine Tong, it is better to stay in Chuxiu Palace and have Concubine Tong accompany her for a few days.

The Empress Dowager's face was very ugly immediately.

There are only two elder brothers in the palace, both of whom are concubines.Concubine Tong has no choice but to take refuge in her because of her love. If she gets another elder brother, it's hard to guarantee that she won't have other plans.The emperor's nonsense, the most suppressed is Horqin's concubine.

So the queen mother tried her best to restrain her emotions, and said to the emperor: "The third elder brother is only so old, and it will be sad to leave her mother. The imperial concubine is also a child, so how can I take care of it. Isn’t brother better? The second girl and the third girl are also fine, or there are daughters in the residences of King Chengze and Prince An who can be kindly raised in the palace. Xuan Ye is too young, and the Ai family is afraid that he will cause trouble.”

The emperor was clear about his plans for the queen mother, and he didn't let go in the end.When he returned to Qianqing Palace to read the papers, he heard that the imperial concubine of Chengqian Palace sent eunuchs to deliver things to the emperor.

Yin Zhen took it with high spirits and took a look. It was the list of the beautiful girls from the south of the Yangtze River that year. The old eight's methods have regressed. He doesn't have to blush when dealing with such things.

Soon he found that there was still a piece of paper in the list, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a paper of remonstrance, saying, "The concubine has been in the palace for the past few years, but because of her poor health, she can't serve the Queen Mother as a filial piety. Your Majesty Lai insists on maintaining the division." I am exhausted, with mixed feelings. I implore your majesty to set up the middle palace as soon as possible, so that the world can be at ease, and make him the head of the harem, and do filial piety for your majesty and concubine to the empress dowager."

The emperor pinched the paper a few times, imagining that Lao Ba would kneel in front of him, and let him use the paper to smash it hard.

After three days of recuperation, the imperial concubine's condition relapsed, and the third elder brother was sent back to Chuxiu Palace ahead of schedule.

The gate of Chengqian Palace is still half closed, and the imperial physician comes in and out every day.

The emperor didn't have any extra thoughts to continue to torment Lao Ba, because the queen mother always wanted to make trouble for him these days.First, he brought Kong Sizhen, the daughter of King Dingnan, into the palace to be kind to him, and then he always implied that the emperor should make the orphaned daughter of the Kong family a concubine for the sake of the relationship between Manchu and Han, and there were more hints that the emperor should establish a queen as soon as possible. , so as not to have no owner in the sixth house.

As a person who has experienced it, Yongzheng has no feeling for Kong Sizhen, and his impression of this unprecedented Han Chinese princess still stays in the later half of her rough life.Sun Yanling used her to seize the fief of Guangxi, and then became dizzy and turned to Wu Sangui to rebel. After being attacked and killed by Wu Shicong, Wu Sangui put Kong Sizhen under house arrest for eight full years to control the original Southern King's former tribe.

The emperor, who believed in ghosts and gods, thought that this woman's life was too hard. Originally, she was the only one left in the Kong family, and later he killed the Sun family, so I don't want to marry her!

As for the empress, the empress dowager has already made it clear that she has taken a fancy to Concubine Jing's niece, and emphasized that this daughter is gentle and honest and doesn't like trouble, the Ai family is very optimistic about her.

Perhaps because Lao Ba had submitted a letter of love to Yinzhen before, the emperor had long been psychologically prepared for the succession and did not have much resistance.This is a matter of time, Empress Xiaohui has a solid temperament, sitting in the palace is just an air, and she can be regarded as an explanation to her ancestors, she doesn't have to be naughty all the time, she can also appease Mongolia, and kill birds with one stone.The only feeling is that the etiquette is very different from 50 years later, and the aunts, nephews, colleagues and husbands can also tell the world.

The Empress Dowager Emperor finally reached an agreement to marry the Empress according to the Empress Dowager Yizhi first, and then discuss the matter of Princess Kong.

Yinhu expressed great enthusiasm for the emperor's re-appointment of a queen.

The imperial concubine was still assisting in the palace affairs, and almost on the third day of the emperor's approval, the auspicious dates and regulations drafted by the Qin Tianjian and the Ministry of Internal Affairs appeared in front of the Empress Dowager of the Palace of Compassion.The queen mother finally felt a little more at ease, and felt that this Dong E family was quite knowledgeable and interesting.

It was early autumn, and the Empress Dowager strongly urged the Empress Dowager Ceremony to be held before the year before.Of course she didn't want Dong E, who feigned death and remarried, to meet his wife during the New Year's memorial ceremony and banquet.With the degree to which the emperor dotes on this woman, it is almost impossible to stop Dong E's family from attending the family banquet. What if Prince Xiang recognizes her and causes trouble?

Of course the queen mother didn't know that Yinhu didn't want to show her face on such an occasion, and even Yinzhen didn't intend to take the royal face as a joke to tease her younger brother.Mrs. Borzigit had been fostered in the palace, so the ceremony of conferring the new queen was carried out at the fastest speed.

The empress dowager kindly ordered that the imperial concubine worked hard for the wedding ceremony, and the emperor let her have a good rest these few days, so don't go to Chengqian Palace to provoke others.Only when the imperial concubine recovers well can she not miss the New Year's family banquet.

The emperor still hated Yinhu on the pretext of the empress dowager's verbal orders to avoid him, and tried every means to encourage him to take Kong Sizhen into the harem.How long has it been since Lao Ba started planning to curry favor with his ancestors?If you don't change your nature, you can't circle him too many times!

No matter how turbulent the harem might be, after the emperor made a new crown on the last auspicious day of the year, Horqin Borzigit's heart that had been restless since Meng Guqing was demoted to Concubine Jing finally fell back into the stomachs of many people, and re-emerged. Beat steadily.

Yinzhen dressed in auspicious clothes again to be the groom, and found that this time was not as worth looking forward to as the time when he married Lao Ba.Is there anything else he can do tonight?But if you don't do it, it seems that you can't do business for your ancestors. I don't know if you will be sued if you don't share a room with the queen on the first day of your wedding?Discord between the emperor and empress is also a big taboo.

Soon Yinzhen realized that he had no time to think about it, and after drinking the wine, his lower abdomen felt like it was on fire.How dare someone put something in the emperor's cup of wine?Is the queen mother too foolish?

The emperor rolled the most aggrieved bed sheet in his life or two lives, and finally paid the empress dowager.

Of course, in order to conform to the emperor Shizu's consistent style, Yinzhen fell ill in bed for a few days as usual and did not go to court, see no one, or read the scriptures.

The Queen Mother had the illusion that she was the Queen Mother of the West who split the Cowherd and Weaver Girl. She couldn't eat for a woman when she saw her son looking for death and life. She would not stay with this Dong E family sooner or later.It's just that Dong E's family is in charge of the palace affairs now, and it's not easy to tamper with in Chengqian Palace, so we have to wait for another opportunity.

Finally, with the approval of the Queen Mother, the imperial concubine entered the Qianqing Palace to serve tea and water to the emperor.

Yinhu's good days are finally over.

Yinzhen pretended to be sick and lay on the bed covered with a quilt to read the booklet, domineering and ordering Yinhu without any scruples, venting the evil spirit in his chest being plotted by women.

Of course Yinhu was upset, so he deliberately brought up Yinzhen's least favorite topic: "Your Majesty, Princess Kong was already eighteen years old when she entered the palace, so you can't just drag people into old girls."

Yinzhen has toothache, stomachache, heartache and mouthache.

Yinhu's heart is dark, he is in charge of the palace affairs, and he knows that the mother under the empress dowager is playing tricks in the wine, who is the master when the fourth child makes fun of him?

Yinzhen didn't want to lose in front of Lao Ba, so he said in a business-like manner: "Kong Sizhen ordered his father Kefu to be tough, why do you encourage me to keep her?"

Yinhu sternly said: "Welcoming Kong Sizhen as a concubine is beneficial to the government and does not cause any harm. It can not only appease Dingnan King's old department, but also win over the hearts of the Han officials. Besides, the emperor's order is even tougher. No one among brothers is tougher than you. Fourth brother still afraid of a woman?"

The emperor's face was grim, and the old eighth was desperately teasing the tiger beard because he was sure that I would not dare to deal with him: "You forgot to mention the most important point, Kong Sizhen and Sun Yanling had a long-standing marriage contract. The eighth brother is implying that I will act as a villain and break up a pair of parents. order? Do you think the Han people’s speech officials will not go to the shuffle?”

Yinhu discussed the matter: "Why don't we wait for the opportunity, and when Sun Yanling took refuge in Wu Sangui, he sent people to take the princess back to the palace in advance? We can't let Wu Sangui put the princess under house arrest to order Pingnan King's former troops? It's just a pity for the princess." Taking back to the palace can only be Qingdenggu Buddha, a widow all her life, her son is a hidden danger in San Francisco and is destined not to live.

Yinzhen squinted at him: "You have become a woman and your temperament has also changed? Are you so sentimental?"

Yinhu sighed and said: "She is just like my mother-in-law, but she is just a woman, so what if she marries the wrong man? What's more, she is Sun Yanling's master, and it is a grievance to marry her. Originally, a loyal family was dragged down by a slave husband. Anyway, I have to be the old widow of the Sun family and live alone all my life, if I can save eight years of crimes, I will suffer less."
