The Harem of the Qing Dynasty - the next era

In July, the holy driver visited Mulan, and because of Yongxi's efforts, Concubine Wan and Princess Ming appeared in the queue accompanying her, and the interest was multiplied several times to make up for the regret of not taking her out of the garden to go shopping on the street.

The five children left for a couple and a half, Hanling's pressure was relieved a lot, and she had more time to coax Yongzheng to wander around. When I visited Fuhai this day, I was quite surprised to see a man who had made great contributions to him. Old man in the palace.

"You are——Gao Lin?" Han Ling looked around in shock, and asked the maid in front of her, "Why are you working in the garden? Letting you out of the palace, could it be that he has forgotten what I said in the palace?"

"Your Majesty, it's not that the uncle of the country neglects the slave, but the slave himself is willing to stay in the garden to serve the master—" Gao Lin kowtowed and replied, "My lady, the younger brother of the slave is under the care of the uncle of the country, and now he can marry a wife and have children without worry. I have no regrets, I have no regrets, I can only live up to the kindness of the master and mother, and beg the uncle Guo to assign the slaves to Guanlan Hall to take charge of the sweeping affairs—"

After Concubine Hui was convicted, the three Gao clans were implicated, and the clansmen who were dependent on Gao Bin scattered away. On the contrary, Gao Lin's younger brother got a blessing in disguise and only escaped. Going to Hubei, and going south as an aide, Gao Lin had nothing to worry about, so she simply asked Sige for a job as a guard of the Old Summer Palace, and then stayed in the capital.

Han Ling nodded: "Are you - 23 this year?"

Gao Lin straightened up: "Master, your wife is Shengming."

"It's been seven years—" Han Ling turned around and told Zhang Lei, "Teach the Ministry of Internal Affairs to investigate, the former Prince Mourning Min died young, and how many people in Changchun Palace, Xianfu Palace, and Yinghua Palace are still punished for sitting together. The culprit left his body as bones, and the heavens have the virtue of being good at life, and those who are alive should accumulate virtue!"

Zhang Lei tentatively asked for instructions: "The master means——"

"In the draft of the palace note, in the past Hui Concubine Gao's disobedience, she was often punished to death by Zhang and Zhao, and those who helped the murderer were also severely punished. All the palace people, even if they are innocent, will send money and clothes. The bureau was punished, and I realized the goodness of the gods, and released them out of the palace when the twelfth elder brother was [-] years old. If there is any embarrassment——" Han Ling paused, "How much money do we have left? ?”

Cheng Shuang replied: "Without the internal money and silver, your palace share plus the salary of the prince of the clan, the monthly regulations of the ninth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother, there is about 9 to [-] taels of surplus!"

Han Ling was slightly taken aback: "So many?"

Cheng Shuang smiled and said: "Although the master is generous and does not leave any surplus money in the palace, it cannot support the abundant income in our palace. The annual salary of the prince of the clan is 2 taels of silver and 2 taels of lumi, which are injected into the income for the first two years. It was withdrawn from Jingren Palace, and since last year, it has been decided by the Pope and Prince Shifang—"

"Since there is this festival, you can take out 5 taels and teach Zhu Sheng to keep it. From now on, Yuqing Palace will go to the Yuqing Palace and let Yongxi decide on his own." Han Ling added the preface, "The palace servants of the Enshi Palace, Each person will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver from An's family, and this money can be withdrawn from Jingren Palace."

Zhang Lei and the others kowtowed and saluted: "Master's wife is merciful and universal, and the servant is on behalf of the pardoner and thanked the master's lady for saving her life."

Han Ling took a look at Gao Lin: "Tell Sige to meet me at the natural picture."

Si Ge was rather embarrassed: "My younger brother thought it wasn't a big deal, so he arranged her casually, and then he was busy for a while, so he forgot to tell my sister—"

"You bastard!" Han Ling was furious, "As the head of the House of Internal Affairs and the minister of the Old Summer Palace, you secretly let the maids of the palace to work in the garden. Once the news gets out, will your future be safe?"

Si Gege was speechless: "It's my younger brother who was careless."

Han Ling suppressed her anger a little: "I have already drawn up a letter of grace to release the guilty palace man to leave the palace and sent it to the driver, the emperor will reply in a few days, when Gao Lin leaves the palace, you can find an auspicious place to bury her generously! "

Sige was taken aback: "Sister means——"

"That's what you think." Han Ling snorted coldly, "Ms. Gao's crime was her own fault. If the emperor and the two empress dowagers knew that the evidence to defraud her of her confession was ordered by me, the Fucha family would mourn for her." The cause of Prince Min's death is full of suspicion, and I can't get rid of the suspicion of contributing to the flames. Do you still need me to explain the stakes to you?"

Si Ge hurriedly said: "Sister, Concubine Hui uses kites to trick Gao Lin, but Gao Lin doesn't know the inside story."

"I can't say that to me!" Han Ling stood up, "I didn't know that our country's uncle actually had a heart to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade."

Sige bowed his head and said nothing: "Sister, brother just couldn't bear it—"

"So, a good man will teach you how to do it, and you should do the unclean things yourself." Han Ling waved her hand, "Let's do it like this!"

Sige was dumbfounded: "Sister——"

Han Ling went straight to Xinuang Pavilion: "You don't need to worry about this matter!"

Cheng Shuang was a little puzzled, and while Han Ling was breastfeeding Yong Xing, she tentatively asked her: "Master, you don't mean to kill Gao Lin on purpose, do you?"

Han Ling asked back: "Is your master the one who crossed the river and demolished the bridge?"

Cheng Shuang became more and more puzzled: "Then you just now—"

"As far as Jingren Palace is concerned, Gao Lin can stay or not. If that's the case, I certainly don't want to add more crimes. There is only one reason for her death—" Han Ling narrowed her eyes, "If Si Ge insists on pleading for mercy in order to save her , I naturally cannot leave her alive in this world."

Cheng Shuang suddenly realized: "Are you afraid that he will follow in the footsteps of the third master?"

Han Ling smiled wryly and said: "Empress Xiaoyiren's younger brother, Longkodo, was so honorable and dignified when the first emperor succeeded to the throne. When he was convicted, he offended everyone and even betrayed his relatives. There is only one crime - that is to connive at concubine concubine and kill first wife and first wife. When Empress Xiaojing was here, how many foreign ministers regarded me as one with Empress Duanjing? I have tried my best to bear it until now, and even if there is only a slight hint, I will not let my brothers and nephews attract criticism and damage reputation!"

Cheng Shuang nodded: "Our uncle is cautious, so naturally he won't contradict you because of a court lady."

"Let's talk about it." Han Ling patted Nai Bei, and put Yong Lin on the bed, "I have to take care of the noble concubine's face, the empress dowager compares me to Wu Yan, I can't let Wu Sansi who is promiscuous in the palace come out. "

The one who wore the coir raincoat left, followed by the one who opened the umbrella. The queen chose to pardon the demoted palace servants at the [-]th elder brother's hundred-day banquet. Neli, who was in charge of preparing the banquet, only got a review from the natural picture: " The Ministry of Internal Affairs has adjusted the old file. Brother Jiu was still in the hot filial piety of Empress Xiaojing when he was [-] years old. If it is compared with the old practice of Prince Zong, it seems to be too grand.

"Okay!" Han Ling interrupted, "It's not a big deal, since there are precedents, it's enough to follow Yongxi's Hundred Days."

"This——" Nali felt a little embarrassed, "On the hundredth day of the clan's prince, the Long Live Lord issued a decree that the number of banquets should be handled according to the second elder brother Chenghu of the emperor's dynasty. Chenghu is the eldest son of Lord Kangxi. elder brother--"

Han Ling asked back: "According to what you said, when Yong Xi was born I was the imperial concubine, and when Yong Xing was born I was the empress. Is there a difference between the two of them?"

"I don't dare!" Nali wanted to look through the old files of Prince Yu Min, but if he did, he would be suspected of cursing Elder Brother Twelve, so he had to use the method of cursing to save the country to persuade his sister euphemistically, "Slave is stupid." See, Elder Brother Twelve is different from the Prince of the Clan, if the hundred-year-old banquet is too grand, the Long Live Lord will be suspected of favoring the younger son, and it will also hinder the reputation of Elder Twelve, please think twice!"

Han Ling was very disappointed: "How can a hundred-day banquet get to the point of damaging your reputation?"

Nali saluted solemnly: "Empress, Prince Xun is the youngest son of Empress Xiao Gongren, Empress Xiao Gongren only loves him a little bit, and can spread any bad words outside. Wei Sheng Chong, once the foreign court misunderstands that the empress dotes on the youngest son, it is difficult to guarantee that the catastrophe of Wu Jiang and Gongshu will not happen in the future. Please be careful and watch out for the empress, and quote the two empresses Wende and Zhenhua as flaunts, and punish the slaves to speak falsely about the royal family's internal affairs The crime of disrespect!"

"Whether I can be the eldest grandson empress is another matter, but my younger brother has no intention of becoming the eldest grandson Wuji." Han Ling rubbed his forehead, "Follow the old rules of Prince Mourning Min!"

Nali breathed a sigh of relief: "The Queen's Empress is Shengming."

"It's a wonderful sight for those who are favored to persuade those who are neglected not to favor their children." Han Ling pressed her forehead, "You go to make preparations, write a charter and hand it to the emperor, and handle it according to the wishes of the Long Live Lord. gone."

"Hey." Neli got up nervously, "Your servant will leave!"

Han Ling didn't worry about the size of the hundred-day banquet for her youngest son for too long. After a few days, Cheng Xue, who had been away from Beijing for several years, returned to the capital with her husband and son-in-law, and immediately appeared in the main hall of the Old Summer Palace with natural pictures.

Jingren Palace is a barracks of iron-clad soldiers. Together with Cheng Yun Chengshuang, who is determined not to marry and insists on combing herself, Han Ling's favorite palace is Chengxue, a palace maid who has shared adversity and life and death. Seeing him kowtow to himself with a happy face, he taught Chengjie to help her up and blamed him: "You are really a bird flying into the forest and a fish swimming in the sea. Anyway, our master and servant have been together for ten years. The folks say 'marry out The water splashed by my daughter', you don't think about me at all."

"Master, please forgive me. This servant has never forgotten the days when I was with Master!" Cheng Xue burst into tears, "I think about it day and night, and I finally met Master again."

Han Ling stretched out her hand and beckoned Cheng Xue to sit down in front of her, "Is the family all right? Is the child still healthy? Why don't you bring me here to have a look."

Cheng Xue thanked her, and half-sitting on the kang apologized to Han Ling with a smile: "Master is worried about everything in the house, and the servant brought them in on purpose to pay his respects, but he didn't learn the rules well and became a bit mischievous. I really can't wait." They wanted to see the master, so they left them at home."

Han Ling smiled and said: "You are paranoid, why are you so out of touch with me?"

Cheng Xue said again: "The master was very happy last year. According to the slave's heart, he must go to the capital to congratulate you. Unfortunately, there was a typhoon in southern Xinjiang, which blocked the slave in Guangzhou. When he returns to Beijing this year, the slave will not go to Beijing anyway." I will follow the north to greet you."

"I'm married to my husband, and I'm also a mother-in-law, how can I let myself be!" Han Ling said to Cheng Shuang, who was accompanying her, "Bring Yong Xin, the two younger sisters of yours have never seen each other, Xiao Qi Going to Mulan, you can see that Elder Brother Twelve is also cheap."

The author has something to say: the company postponed the resumption of work, so I was still at home——I ignored one thing. It seemed that when signing the contract, it was required to write an article of more than 20 words per year (or write an article of more than 30 words in two years) ), so I plan to write this article separately, and everyone can work together to help me think about what kind of article title is appropriate for the part of Qianlong succeeding the empress.
