The Harem of the Qing Dynasty - the next era

After dismissing the eldest daughter, Han Ling was about to criticize her mother-in-law and husband, when Li Yu preached outside: "Concubine Ying, please come here."

Concubine Ying can be regarded as the master of concubines of the Sixth Palace, and asked curiously after paying respects to the three giants: "Fang met the fifth princess, and the ladies are not energetic, but have they been reprimanded by the master?" ?”

Hongli couldn't help being surprised: "I am with the queen mother, how can you guess the queen?"

Concubine Ying pursed her lips and smiled: "It's no use guessing. The queen mother is very fond of her grandchildren. The emperor is a strict father to elder brother, and only dotes on Gege. The master and empress are just the opposite. On the contrary, it is strict, the fifth princess has been scolded, and she doesn't think about the master and empress, could it be that the Lord Long Live has become a strict father once?"

"There is some truth!" Hongli's anger subsided by five or six points, "According to what you said, it's my fault, isn't it?"

Han Ling sighed and said: "Yong Jue mentioned Hai Lancha's matter to my concubine, because she was involved in the government affairs, my concubine didn't ask much, and she was sleeping at noon, and the fifth girl rushed in recklessly, she is smart , came directly to the Empress Dowager’s palace, and she could not be seen coming up, the emperor please deal with her lightly.”

Concubine Ying helped to intercede: "It's not easy for the fifth princess. Although the fifth son-in-law is good, she can't stand a group of bad relatives. The three children have not yet grown up. The sixth princess can’t compare to a fraction! If you know it, say you feel sorry for the sixth princess’s loss of mother, but if you don’t know, don’t you just assume that you are dissatisfied with the fifth princess?”

Han Ling didn't take it seriously: "She is Princess Gu Lun, if I don't look twice, there are still people who don't have eyes and dare to bully her?"

"The servants below are always worshiping the high and trampling on the lows. Do you think that mother and daughter's nature is not a hindrance to the slight negligence of the fifth princess? Who knows what the servants are thinking?" Concubine Ying paused, "Anyway, After all, the five-headed son-in-law doesn't have any foundation—"

Hongli couldn't help being aroused by Concubine Ying to be a loving father, because he said angrily: "Gao Yuncong is hateful! How dare you blackmail my forehead."

"Gao Yuncong?" Concubine Ying raised her eyebrows, "Why does this concubine think this name sounds familiar? It seems that the eunuch of the Qianqing Palace who paired up with the Changchun Palace maid last month also had the surname Gao?"

As soon as this barrel of oil was poured, Gao Yuncong would be damned if he could still save his family: Lord Qianlong issued an order on the spot, and sentenced Gao Yuncong to death.

Hai Lancha also failed to get out of the whole body, and was dismissed by Lao Taishan for three consecutive ranks, from a first-rank Dutong to a registered deputy Dutong with a second-rank title.

Han Ling came out from the Shoukang Palace, squinted at Li Yu, the chief executive standing by her side, and said, "The harem can't be involved in politics, so I can't ask you about it, and you can't give me any news about the imperial court, like Gao Yun from such a fox who pretends to be a tiger, The slave who bullied the relatives and foreign officials, and the evil deeds spread to the ears of the officials, where will you put the face of the Pope? In the future, if such a thing happens, you should report it to the Long Live Lord in time!"

"Master and Empress taught me that!" Li Yu remained silent, "From now on, this slave must be careful and restrain his servants, so that today's incident will not happen again."

Princess He Hui, who was waiting for Xin'er, let out a long sigh of relief after hearing the holy will, and asked Han Ling again: "Is Huang Ama still angry?"

"No problem!" Han Ling smiled, "This time Jiao Hailancha was wronged, so he rushed back to the mansion, thank him for me."

"Emiang's words are very strange, and this is what we should do." This is the sincere words of Princess Hehui: the current emperor is her own father, the next emperor is her own brother, and the princes who are most favored by the emperor and empress are all. For her own brother, it is nothing to be demoted by three levels. As long as Jingren Palace can stand firmly, it is only a matter of time before the official returns to his original post.

Han Ling instructed: "You go back, hurry up tomorrow and hand over the sign to plead guilty to the Emperor and Empress Dowager, and teach Hai Lancha to be more cautious. If there is no order to summon, don't enter the palace to pay your respects during these days."

Princess He Hui nodded and agreed: "My daughter understands."

When the order of punishment came down, Sebuten Balezhuer, Yili, Buyan Dalai, Fulong'an, and Deleke wrote letters one after another, hoping that Taiyue would be lenient and punish his brother-in-law lightly.

The pleading letter was retained, and the emperor appointed a three-person team to investigate and deal with illegal issues in the internal prison.

The leader of the trio was King Jingjun Wang Yongqi, and the people who assisted him were not good-natured ones—Fu Longan, the Seventh Concubine, and Yongxuan, the Prince of Lu, were all very confident figures.

Especially Fu Longan, his father is the most powerful minister today (Fu Heng is the head of all officials), the emperor is his uncle and his father-in-law, the princes are all his cousins ​​and brothers-in-law, and the ladies in the harem The empress at the head is his mother-in-law, Concubine Ling is her aunt's old servant, Concubine Shu is her own aunt, Concubine Wan is the adoptive mother of her daughter-in-law, knowing that the cause of the incident is that her brother-in-law was bullied by the eunuch, how can there be mercy?Eager to put on the posture of a pot, it's almost a rope to take out all the internal prisons and beat them up.

Fu Heng pressed his son down vigorously: "I'd rather blame a gentleman than sin a villain, please take it easy for me - there are still King Jingjun and King Lu here!"

"Prince Jingjun is unwell, and Prince Lu doesn't know where it is from!" Fu Longan pouted, "If my son doesn't stand up, he will be trampled down by the eunuch like Hailancha in the future."

Fu Heng wanted to hit someone: "Do you think the fifth forehead is someone who was bullied by the eunuch Gao for no reason?"

"Huh?" Fu Longan asked blankly, "Isn't it!"

Gu Lun's concubine ranks the same as Gu Shan's son-in-law. In terms of rank, Fu Heng, a first-class prince, is even lower. Fu Heng endured and endured, and finally he didn't lift his heels: "Be honest with me, according to the emperor and queen's order It’s the right thing to do.”

Han Ling didn't think that because of Gao Yuncong's resentment against the entire harem group, taking advantage of Hongli's meal in Jingren Palace, Han Ling proposed "report the harem affairs to the imperial court".

Hongli was very puzzled: "Didn't you always believe that the male dominates the outside and the female dominates the inside?"

"It was fine in the past. The concubine was barely able to support it. Even so, there were still a lot of troubles in the harem. The concubine was not underestimated. If someone else changed, it might not be able to do better than the concubine. After thinking about it, I just want to I can entrust the emperor to take care of it." Han Ling laughed and said, "It's not that I'm going to ask you about everything. The harem sent someone who was important to tell Mr. Li to tell Mr. Li that it's like listening to gossip. There are deficiencies. Places to testify; if it’s not interesting, it’s okay to treat it as a pastime.”

Li Yu, the chief eunuch who stood by the side, had a tingling scalp: There will be no pitfalls, right?

Hongli pondered for a moment and said: "You can't blame everything in the past."

Han Ling was not discouraged: "The concubine did this not all to avoid laziness. The signboards such as the concubine entering the palace to greet her are all returned by the concubine. Some of them are visible and invisible. The emperor thinks that to show dignity, the concubine should see it." As soon as I saw it, the emperor didn't know about it, and the concubine disappeared."

"There is no reason for them to choose whether to give them face or not." Hongli nodded, "Just do as you want!"

Han Ling smiled and agreed, because she said again: "There are still a few household matters, the emperor needs to take time to ask."

Hongli would rather gossip with Hanling: "Tell me."

"Yongqi—" Han Ling thought about it, "this child is a bit eager for sex. The royal elder brother is not a big deal, so it is not appropriate to hurt his body. I told him twice, this child , The promise is very good, what should we do in the future or what to do, we are elders, we have to get serious about this kind of thing, and teach outsiders how to think of the emperor!"

"How old is he? Doesn't he even have a sense of propriety?" Lust, sex!Hongli didn't think this was a question worthy of being put on the line, "Don't the old five family persuade him? They still want to make parents worry for nothing!"

"This is still the case with my concubine, let alone his Fujin." Han Ling sighed, "I will teach him in the name of the emperor someday!"

Hongli nodded: "Let's do it like this!"

"Yongzhen and Yongjing—" Han Ling rubbed his forehead, "Yongzhen loves to keep dogs, and his concubines are not allowed, so he sent someone to the palace outside the palace to raise them; Yongjing was too obsessed with Kunqiang, and he Running outside the palace all the time, I can't count how much trouble I caused Yong Rong, the boys are getting older, and the concubines are not easy to discipline, are you talking about them?"

"Huh?" Hongli didn't take it seriously, "The first emperor also loved dogs, so that's nothing, what about Yongjing—as long as you don't lose your mind."

Han Ling asked again: "The former Yong Lu and Yong Yan had a face-to-face meeting. The concubine's intention is to send a secret decree to all the six palaces, not allowing them to talk about Elder Brother's life experience. What does the Emperor think?"

Hongli has nothing to do with it: "You can just figure it out."

Han Ling agreed, and then replied: "Ba Gege is two months older than Yong Jing, and Yong Jing will get married next year, and it will be her turn next year. There are also Jiu Gege and Xiao Shi, who are not two years older. You have to plan ahead."

"No hurry!" Hongli said with a smile, "I still want to keep them for two more years."

Han Ling took advantage of the situation and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine didn't pay attention earlier, why did you reward Xiao Shi with the grace to ride in the golden sedan chair? Not to mention her, even the noble concubine Ling and Princess He Jing didn't have such preferential treatment, and now they treat her so pampered, Foreign ministers are afraid that there will be criticism."

According to the etiquette system, only a few people above the imperial concubine are eligible to take the golden-topped sedan chair. From the rank of imperial concubine and prince below, unless extra favors are given, at most they can only ride the silver-topped sedan chair. It is limited to the title in the palace (the imperial concubine did not get a formal ceremonial ceremony, and actually only enjoys the treatment of the imperial concubine), and those who can ride the golden-topped sedan chair are the emperor, empress dowager, empress dowager, empress, imperial concubine Huang Kaoyu, and Zong concubine. The six princes, Princess Hexiao were favored, and Hongli felt guilty towards Hanling at that time, so he accidentally raised the birthday standard of his beloved daughter.

The emperor has always favored the children of the middle palace, Shi Gege is a daughter, everyone is not surprised by this kind of grace, the harem is not a place for sedan chairs, Han Ling herself only found out about her youngest daughter when she checked the expenses of each palace on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival There is such a sedan chair under my name.

"Xiao Shi is filial and is our youngest daughter, so I prefer him a little more. Who would dare to slander and comment behind his back?" Hongli smiled, "You don't have to worry too much, He Jing is more than 20 years younger than Shi Shi, isn't it? Can you still be jealous for your sister?"

Han Ling smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too fond of Xiao Shi."
