The Harem of the Qing Dynasty - the next era

Because of Gu Lun and Princess Hui's intercession, Lord Qianlong has given grace and released his eldest son-in-law, Sebuten Balezhuer, for several years. Because of this, Lord Qianlong brought his seven sons and six sons-in-law to liven up down the paddock.

The seven princes are Prince Yongxi of the Clan, Prince Yongrong of the Sixth Prince, Yongxuan of the Eighth Prince, Wang Yongxuan of Jiajun, the Tenth Prince Yongxuan, the Eleventh Prince Yongxuan and the Thirteenth Prince Yongjing.

The six sons-in-law are considered to be false, and Hongli has four real son-in-laws, namely, the three-foreheaded son-in-law Buteng Balezhuer, the fourth-foreheaded son-in-law Hui Fanara Yili, the fifth-foreheaded son-in-law Dolar Hailancha, and the sixth-foreheaded son-in-law. The concubine Hulu Buyan Dalai has another adopted daughter, Princess Hewan, and her husband Borzigit Delek is also in the car. Finally, there are two reserve consorts of Princess Heming—Fucha Fulongan and Huihui. Fanara Changlin, one daughter is not worthy of two husbands, and Princess Ming doesn't have a sister of the same age, so it's not bad that the two brothers can barely occupy a spot.

The reason why it is said to be reluctance is probably because He and Princess Ming took the initiative to ask for orders and also appeared in the hunting team this time.

Princess Heming's riding and archery skills were taught by the prince of the clan, and because of her outstanding appearance, as the first golden branch and jade leaf to show her face in front of foreign ministers, she really earned a lot of face for the emperor's father.

Knowing that Princess Ming has not been assigned a marriage yet, the princes and princes of various ministries have the intention of asking for marriage, Hongli said with a smile: "Qigege is my beloved daughter, and she is a descendant of the Central Palace. She is deeply loved by the Empress Dowager. I can't bear to marry her." Easy marriage."

With her budding age, dewy appearance, and status of golden branches and jade leaves, no matter what Han Ling thinks, she doesn't think that the second girl is suitable to show her face in front of foreign ministers, and Princess Heming pleads in front of the emperor's father: "You can't teach foreign ministers Do you think our princesses in the Qing Dynasty can only embroider in the boudoir?"

Hongli's ambition was strong, because he said to Hanling: "The character of a banner man doesn't have to be the same as that of a Han woman."

Han Ling didn't let go: "Qiu You will make an alliance. If the emperor is drunk and infatuated, he betroths Qiyatou to others at will. The so-called monarch is not joking. No matter how unwilling the concubine is, how can we teach her not to follow in the footsteps of five sons?"

Hongli had no choice but to promise: "For her life, if you don't nod, I won't allow her to marry. This is no joke. You should rest assured, right?"

Han Ling warned the two eldest sons emphatically: "Take care of my sister, if she makes a mistake, you don't have to come back."

Only then did Princess Heming get her wish.

This arrangement is very appropriate. Yongjue's two attendants, one is Fu Long'an, who has been a companion since childhood, and the other is his cousin and brother-in-law, Chang Lin. Whether they are cousins ​​or reserve fiances, they are obliged to drive away A drone and a male butterfly trying to flaunt coquettishness around Princess Heming.

Fu Long'an himself was discouraged. In terms of riding and shooting, Chang Lin would not lose to him, and he could still sing a few poems with the Seventh Princess in harmony with the occasion. What a brilliance—Chang Lin is one year younger than him!

Yong Jue didn't understand what his mother who was far away in the capital was planning, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he asked his attendant, "Go and see what Fu Longan and Chang Lin are up to."

The attendant responded quickly: "Second Master Fucha is drinking, and Uncle Nala is painting."

Yong Jue thought for a while, stood up and ordered: "Go and see Seventh Sister—"

No outsiders were present, and Princess Heming who mentioned her cousin was quite calm: "Ninth brother, in your opinion, will Ama show Huifanara any more grace?"

"Normally not." Yong Jue paused, "But Chang Lin is really outstanding, if you want, Er Niang may help make it happen."

Princess Heming smiled: "Ninth brother, who do you want to be my forehead?"

"I think—" Yong Jue reacted abruptly, "No matter who is blessed to be the consort of Gu Lun and Princess Ming, they don't have the guts to treat Master's younger sister badly."

Princess Heming put the rice paper back: "Brother Jiu is right."

Yong Jue turned his head to comfort Fa Xiao: "Seventh Sister doesn't mean to think highly of Chang Lin."

Only then did Fu Long'an regain his fighting spirit: Hai Dongqing from Fucha's family always has a pride that cannot be discarded.

As everyone knows, Princess Heming has her own plans.

Shengjia returned to Beijing at the beginning of October, and when he and Princess Ming were paying their respects, his mother dragged him to say some thoughtful words: "Now that we can talk about it, why did you suddenly have the idea of ​​accompanying Qiu Mi?"

Princess Heming lowered her head: "Emiang, there are rumors outside that you intend to choose between fifth cousin and Fucha's bodyguard as your daughter's son-in-law. My daughter just wants to see who is more suitable for her daughter."

"Huh?" Han Ling's heart tightened, "So?"

Princess Heming hesitated for a moment: "Emiang, I don't want to stay in the capital."

Han Ling was greatly surprised: "How could you have such an idea?"

Princess Heming did not reply directly: "Emiang, since Emperor Taizong, it has been a rule for princesses to caress Meng, like the third sister and sister Hewan, although they stay in the capital, they have their own banner land directly under their control on the grassland. "

"At this moment and at that moment, the former princess wanted to marry far away because—" Han Ling suddenly realized, "You didn't like either of them?"

"Er Niang!" Princess Heming scolded, "Are they good or not, how can a daughter judge them?"

Han Ling breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't play tricks, let me tell you, they have something bad for you to notice, and I naturally have a way to remedy it for you."

"Er Niang—" Princess Heming lowered her head, and asked after a long time, "Will you fall out of favor?"

Han Ling asked blankly: "How do you say?

"This time, Mulan Qiuyou, my daughter has noticed that there are as many people who please Brother Ninth as there are people who please Brother Four." Princess Heming raised her face, "Emiang, if there is no foreign trouble in a country, there must be internal troubles. My daughter is not willing There is a dilemma between the two elder brothers, the fifth cousin is the brother-in-law of the ninth brother, and the guard Fucha is the companion of the ninth brother, neither of them is a suitable candidate for the daughter."

"Are you worried that you will cause trouble?" Han Ling narrowed her eyes, "Or are you worried that Er Niang will not have the ability to protect your sisters?"

"Emiang, your current situation should be described in eight words." Princess Heming straightened her face, "It's like walking on thin ice."

Han Ling smiled wryly: "The only one who can see this is Er Niang's Xiao Qi."

Princess Heming's eyes brightened: "Emiang, don't blame me."

"What you said is not wrong, why did Erniang blame you?" Han Ling touched her daughter's cheek, "But Erniang still hopes that you can stay in the capital, live a good life, and don't let down Concubine Wan's love for you." A heart of love can be regarded as making up for Er Niang's debt to Fu Cha's family."

Princess Heming's heart moved: the so-called heart of indebtedness may refer to something else. There are rumors in the palace that the death of Prince Mourning Hui and Prince Mourning Min is mainly due to the lack of trust of Empress Xiaojing and Fu Cha's family in the past. Since Niang said so, I am afraid there is still a hidden secret deep in her heart that is difficult for outsiders to tell.

Han Ling might as well put her daughter's wish on the surface and let her husband know: "Seventh girl has the ambition of Princess Haiceng."

Hongli was also surprised: "You can't judge by appearance, I am Xiao Qi, the quietest one among the sisters."

Han Ling explained her thoughts: "It's nothing more than Yu Chenqie herself, Xiao Qi has been raised by Concubine Wan so hard, if she is allowed to marry far away, Concubine Wan will definitely feel even more sad."

"Don't worry." Hongli reassured, "In two years, I will give her a marriage decree."

Next, the focus of the former imperial court's attention was on the [-]th birthday ceremony of the Holy Mother and Empress Dowager.

When things came to an end, something went wrong again in Jingyang Palace.

Concubine Xiang wept and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, my concubine has been wronged, my concubine has worked hard for months to embroider most of the Buddhist scriptures, and it was ruined like this, my concubine is really wronged——"

Han Ling smiled coldly: "This is a birthday gift embroidered for the Empress Dowager. You are so careless that even the chief culprit is not aware of it. How can I forgive your crime?"

Xiang's concubine called Qu: "My lord, my concubine stays up in the middle of the night at five o'clock every day. I am afraid that something will go wrong. I don't know who has lost his conscience and made a fool to frame the concubine in this way. The filial piety of the concubine to the empress dowager can be seen day and night. , I beg my lord and empress to observe clearly."

Han Ling was about to get angry, when Concubine Jia got up to intercede for her: "My lord, concubine Xiang is certainly careless, and my concubine is the guarantor. She didn't intend to disrespect the Empress Dowager. Please, my lord, take it lightly and allow her to pay for her merits! "

"You are a virtuous person. Don't you know that the country has state laws, and the family has family rules. If you commit such a serious offense and are not punished by the palace rules, what use is there for this queen?"

All the concubines were silent, and even Concubine Jia retreated back in embarrassment.

The active concubine is still wondering: this is not the hole the empress dug for the concubine Xiang.

Han Ling was also in a difficult situation: Didn't he fall into the trick of borrowing a knife to kill someone?

But at this time, the concubine Ling, who had been silent for a long time, came forward to make a statement: "Master, my concubine has an unfeeling request, and I beg your permission."

"Huh?" Han Ling shifted her gaze, "Say it."

Ling concubine asked for his order: "My lord, my concubine is deeply blessed by the empress dowager. Recently, I prepared a gift for the holy birthday. I embroidered a hundred Buddhist scriptures as a picture of a hundred years of life and presented it to the empress dowager. The concubine failed to do what she could, and it was time to embroider Hasty, my concubine is bold, I ask the master and concubine for permission, and order Xiang concubine sister to perform crimes and meritorious deeds, and together with concubine to complete the picture of the hundred Buddhas of the holy life."

"Hundred longevity pictures embroidered from hundreds of Buddhist scriptures—" Han Ling narrowed her eyes, "You have intentions!"

The noble concubine said: "It's hard to make my concubine work so hard, and the empress dowager is very happy for a thousand years, please forgive me for my unintentional mistake!"

Han Ling raised her hand: "Concubine Xiang makes mistakes again and again, and I have repeatedly made exceptions for her. In the future, the inner court has made mistakes. If I want to cite it as an example, how can I strictly enforce the rules and regulations of the six palaces?"

Concubine Yu and the following all stood up: "Please, Empress Empress, take it easy!"

Han Ling finally let go: "Concubine Xiang, go and help your concubine embroider Buddhist scriptures together. If the Empress Dowager favors me, this Palace will forgive you the crime of neglecting you. If the Empress Dowager fails to give permission, you don't have to live in Jingren Palace."

Concubine Xiang breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Empress, for your extrajudicial grace."

The author has something to say: Another climax of the plot is coming.
