The Harem of the Qing Dynasty - the next era

"What's going on?" As soon as Han Ling came out of Shoukang Palace, there was an urgent report from Chuxiu Palace: Princess Heyi was injured in the Imperial Garden.

The noble concubine was very angry: "Gege went to the imperial garden to pick flowers for the concubine, and accidentally picked the peach blossoms in Jingyang Palace. The concubine Xiangxiang bumped into him on the spot and pushed Gege, which touched the flower pot. It's really hateful to leave with your hands like nothing!"

Han Ling looked at the wound and asked, "Where's the person?"

Cheng Shuang stepped forward and replied, "Concubine Xiang has gone to Ningshou Palace."

The Empress Dowager Chongyuan was listening to her niece complaining about her grievances because of the palace servants' beatings, when the eldest maid Zhuixing entered the room and replied, "Empress Dowager, the master sent someone to deliver the decree to the concubine Xiang."

"What's going on?" Empress Dowager Chongyuan suddenly had a bad feeling, "Teach him to come in."

Zhang Lei bowed to the Empress Dowager Chongyuan, and then laughed and said: "Returning to the empress dowager, the empress dowager, the concubine Xiang injured the sixth princess in the imperial garden. There are all personal and physical evidence. The mistress decreed that the concubine Xiang should be deposed as a permanent residence. , keep his emblem, and move to the Yinghua Palace to stop thinking about it."

Empress Dowager Chongyuan was taken aback: "Is this true? How is He Yi girl?"

Zhang Lei replied: "Please rest assured, the empress dowager, the empress dowager and the imperial physician have seen it, the sixth princess seems to have a skin trauma, and now it looks like there is no serious problem."

Concubine Xiang hurriedly argued: "Auntie, this concubine just missed it for a while, and she only cared about protecting the peach blossoms that Lord Long Live bestowed on concubine, and didn't mean to hurt the sixth princess."

Empress Dowager Chongyuan nodded: "Then you can move to the Yinghua Palace to contemplate your mistakes behind closed doors as the queen wishes!"

"Aunt—" Xiangbi was dumbfounded, "Didn't the concubine mean to—"

The Empress Dowager Chongyuan said coldly: "Whether it is intentional or not, hurting the prince and princess is a crime of genocide. The empress is merciful, but she will depose your position and move to the Yinghua Palace. Do you still have to look forward to Shu?"

Zhang Lei raised his hand and bent over: "Xiang Chang is here to invite you!"

Concubine Xiang finally knew she was afraid: "No—I won't go—aunt—aunt—I'm your real niece!"

Empress Dowager Chongyuan didn't take it seriously: "You are my niece, but the empress is the lord of the six palaces. I cannot interfere with her decision!"

Concubine Su was still uneasy: "My lord, if you treat Concubine Xiang like this, the empress dowagers of the two palaces will probably lose their face."

"If she hadn't been handpicked by the Holy Mother and the Empress Dowager, and she hadn't been on a blind date with the Empress Dowager, she would have been carried out of the harem at this moment." Han Ling said sharply to the visiting concubines, "Let me listen, who would dare Stretch your paws into Ago Gege's hand, Concubine Xiang——Xiang Changzai is your role model!"

Everyone responded, still complaining in their hearts: The empress has long been gearing up to deal with Concubine Xiang, she is stupid, she must hit the knife point, and there is no wrongdoing in the cold palace.

Heaven and hell are just a thin line, and Xiang Changzai began a miserable life in the cold palace—she couldn't find a chance to turn around in a short time: on the eve of the Duanyang Festival, Hongli moved his family to the Old Summer Palace.

On the birthday of the empress dowager, the empress made a special decree to include all the daughters of Manchuria in the upper three banners into the sequence of greetings.

According to Hongli's meaning, most of the future clan princes and concubines will come from the Guarjia family, Suo Chuo Luo family, Hesheli family, Dong E family, Wanyan family, Shu Mulu family, Tatara family and other surnames. The descendants of the dynasty, such as the Fucha family, the Nala family, and the Niu Hulu family, were directly excluded from the current selection list.

"Wu Yashi?" Han Ling's eyes widened. "When did you see her?"

Yongxi smiled and said: "Emiang, you have promised your son, as long as you don't show your whereabouts, you can secretly spy on the behavior and appearance of Xiu Nu."

Han Ling stood up: "Although we Manchus don't pay attention to male and female sex like the Han family, girls' reputation should be a little bit more concerned after all. How many people are watching you from behind, if it gets to Han Chen's ears, It is extremely damaging to your prestige."

"Er Niang." Yongxi stepped forward to help him obediently, "Of course the son is counted, even the two mamas turned a blind eye to this."

"That's right, you just rely on the doting and capriciousness of the empress dowagers of the two palaces." Han Ling returned to the original question, "After seeing each other for more than two months, you just fell in love with Wu Ya's family? Tell me , what redeeming qualities does she have?"

Yongxi laughed and said: "The son was born by Er Niang, why does the son value Wu Ya's family, naturally no one understands the reason better than Er Niang."

Han Ling turned her head and glanced at Cheng Shuang: "Did Prince Zong give you something good? Show it to me."

Cheng Shuang wiped off his sweat and said with a sneer to Han Ling: "Master, our clan prince has a heart to heart with your mother and son, even if this slave doesn't say anything, he will appreciate the same beautiful girl as you."

Three times I tried my best to look at the beautiful girl for two months. It was a Bodhisattva or a monster who couldn't hide from the investigation of the human spirits.

In the eyes of ordinary people, apart from his outstanding color, Wu Yashi can be regarded as a rather low-key person.

The Uya clan was originally a coat for the House of Internal Affairs. Because of the emergence of Empress Xiao Gongren, who gave birth to Emperor Sejong, she raised the flag and became a new noble of the Zhenghuang Banner. Now, after more than 30 years, the Uya clan is the outstanding one It was not Benzhi, the empress Xiao Gongren who had inherited the title, but her grandson Wuya Zhaohui.

In the ninth year of Qianlong's reign, Zhaohui was awarded Zhang Jing of the Military Aircraft Department in a post-style capacity. , served as an imperial envoy and the minister of defense against the Junggar Ministry in Tibet. Because of this, his daughter was also placed on the list of candidates for the show.

Because of her good life, Wu Yashi was scheming during the "interview" process, and she almost kept her face. She taught her to deal with it. Earlier, the Empress Dowager of Chongqing stayed overnight for a night and summoned them the next day. Seeing this, Gege from the Suochuluo family walked in front of the osmanthus tree and twisted his feet. The Guerjagege he was leading fell and pushed Uyagege's cheek to the branch. Everyone was flustered, and Wuyagege stepped back. Bending down, he walked around the protruding branch, and even the twisted Guerjagege helped him up calmly. The palace servants who followed behind and took notes naturally had to record truthfully. As a result, Wu Yashi was out of the game, and Wu Yashi added a lot of points to the natural picture.

Han Ling nodded: "Wuyagege is beautiful and smart, you like it, and it would be nice to stay as the prince of the clan, side Fujin."

Yongxi shook his head: "Emiang, if you leave the smartest person in your son's concubine, your son's backyard will be noisy from now on."

"You want her to be a Fujin?" Han Ling raised her eyebrows, "Your Ama won't agree."

Yong Xi smiled slyly: "As long as Er Niang agrees, Ama will definitely agree."

Han Ling didn't take it seriously: "You don't have to play tricks with me, you Ama won't listen to me on this."

Yong Xi's eyes flickered: "Er Niang might as well give it a try."

"Zhaohui's daughter?" Hongli asked back, "What do you think?"

Of course Han Ling voted against it: "Although he is from the same family as Empress Xiao Gongren, he is a newcomer who carries the flag after all. From the Shengzu Dynasty to the present, the prince Fujin has all come from Gege with the surname of Shangsan Banner!"

"Don't worry, let's have a look again!" Hongli smiled slightly, "If you like it, it doesn't hurt to call her into the garden often."

Han Ling understood, because she reminded her husband: "Yong Xi has big ideas, I can't control him, if you have something to discuss with him, don't hit me with Ji Feng, thank you both."

"Speaking of this——" Hongli frowned, "Although Yongxi is smart, he has fallen into heresy in the past two years. Some criticisms, I said several times, he only agreed with his mouth, I'm afraid he didn't take it seriously."

Han Ling lashed out: "I blame you. I have to learn from Emperor Zu Ren in everything. Lord Kangxi learns from the West the most. He is young. Isn't he capable of learning from others?"

Hongli was quite helpless: "I want to arrange a job for him. If he has serious work to do, he will probably be able to calm down."

Han Ling asked: "Fourth Brother, how old are you this year?"

Hongli was startled: "How to say?"

"There is no father who knows a son. In terms of talent, Yongxi is indeed a leader in the royal family, but smart people may not be able to be good emperors. Prince Xiao Tong of Zhaoming, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Yang, Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Zhao Ji of Song Huizong. In the literary world, they are all heroes of a generation, and if they are placed on the dragon chair, can they do better than those with mediocre qualifications?" Han Ling tried hard to persuade, "Fourth brother, the family is father and son, and the government is divided into monarchs and ministers. Yongxi has not yet participated in politics. , you are dissatisfied with him, Zuo is just a father-son relationship that hates iron but not steel. Once he enters the court and participates in politics, he is the noble of the palace and the respect of the prince. Instigating and alienating kinship and kinship, there is no second day in the sky, and there is no second master in the country, and at the moment when it is hard to return, it will be too late to regret it!"

Hongli was suddenly displeased: "So you can't trust our father-son relationship?"

"Fourth brother, there is a dragon chair lying between you!" Han Ling rubbed her eyebrows, "I heard that Concubine Jia's ancestral home is Haidong North Korea. Although it is a tiny place, the family law is strict and the system is strict. , In the more than three hundred years since the founding of the country, there have been few disputes between father and son fighting for power, and brothers fighting for the throne, and the sons of the king are limited to listening to politics and less than participating in politics, isn't it worth emulating for us?"

"You really are mother and son!" Hongli smiled, "Yongxi wanted to imitate the skills of Xiyi, and you envied Haidong's method. Could it be that our great Qing Dynasty is so helpless?"

Han Ling's brows furrowed slightly: "Threesomes must have my teacher. The saint's words are true. I am a woman, but I hope that the family will be harmonious, safe and smooth. As for the outside things, I have read a lot and I always feel afraid." , Of course you see more in the long run than I do."

Hongli shook his head: "It's not a good thing for a woman to study, because she can think wildly all day long!"

Although Emperor Qianlong was afraid of internal affairs, the empress had limited influence on the affairs of the court. As soon as Yongxi's 14th birthday passed, Hongli made a decree and ordered Prince Zong to study in the ministry and participate in government affairs. The Ministry of Industry who hooked up with strange tricks and obscenity.

The author has something to say: In my opinion, the patriarchal system of the Joseon Dynasty (Lee Dynasty) is much superior to that of their suzerains, the Ming and Qing dynasties.First of all, North Korea implements the "following the mother law". It cannot be "the son is noble because of the father", but only "the son is inferior to the mother". The biological mother is not qualified to be the princess of the king; again, since Sukjong of Joseon, the king's harem has lost the possibility of becoming a concubine. If the concubine passes away, the king can only remarry his wife from among the two classes of nobles.
