The Harem of the Qing Dynasty - the next era

"My lord, it's not that my concubines don't know the basics. You know the eighth girl's body. I don't know how much effort you have spent in these years. It has grown up to this day. Concubines dare not say that Mongolia is not good. Compared with the capital, after all It's a different situation, she wants to marry her—the concubine is worried that her body will not be able to bear it, or if something happens, wouldn't she have let down the painstaking efforts of the master and empress for more than ten years?" Taking advantage of Han Ling's son's marriage, daughter's pregnancy, Just in time for such a great opportunity, Concubine Xin tactfully put forward her own request: it doesn't matter whether she marries a Mongolian or not, she hopes that her daughter can stay in the capital for a long time like her sisters.

Han Ling sighed: "I understand your difficulties!"

"Master and Empress—" Concubine Xin thumped in her heart, "Could it be that the emperor has already arranged for the eighth girl's marriage?"

Han Ling hesitated and said: "The emperor told me that he wants to betroth his daughter to Lawangduoerji, the eldest son of Chenggunzabu, Prince Zasak. Lawangduoerji was born in the 19th year of Qianlong. Only Bagege is the best match."

Concubine Xin's face turned pale, her lips visibly trembling: "Mistress, is there no other way to get rid of Ba Yatou?"

"Prince Zasak has outstanding military achievements, and is the son of Princess Gu Lun Chunxi, the tenth daughter of Emperor Kangxi. He is related to the emperor's uncle, and he married her. A non-princess can't be matched. A adoptive daughter is also the reason. Unfortunately, the first emperor's descendants are rare. , and the prince only have one daughter, He Wan, and besides, now that his own daughter is unwilling to marry him, the emperor is not easy to explain to Prince Zasak." Han Ling nodded her forehead, "I have also seen Lavandorzi A few times, the talent and appearance are all top-notch, and the emperor likes him, and the usual address is the same as that of the prince's forehead. As a sideline, I can't go back on this marriage."

Concubine Xin was very discouraged: "In this way, Ba Yatou can only accept her fate."

"From my point of view, when it comes to the foundation of character, Lavandorje is the best candidate for a son-in-law. If Ba Yatou is in good health, it might be her luck to marry such a son-in-law—" Han Ling comforted "Don't worry, the emperor didn't issue a decree, didn't he think about his daughter's health? Besides, Jiugege and Bagege are only two years apart, and the matter of marriage may not fall to Bagege on the body."

Concubine Xin wryly smiled and said, "How can Ba ​​Yatou be compared with Shi Gege?"

Han Ling thought for a while, and persuaded Concubine Xin: "Don't worry, when the emperor comes, I'll ask him about his tone. If I can persuade him, I'll persuade him. After all, it's related to government affairs, so I don't want to talk rashly!"

Concubine Xin forced a smile and said: "Concubine first thanked the mistress on Ba Yatou's behalf."

When Hanling asked about the marriage candidate, Hongli asked back: "Which Gege do you think is more suitable for Lavandorji?"

"In terms of age, it's Ba Gege, and in terms of temperament—Jiu Gege and Xiao Shi are both good. After all, the emperor is the one who decides, so why not treat them badly?" Han Ling smiled faintly, "It's not that the concubine is pretending to be virtuous, and the children and grandchildren have their own blessings." Xiao Shi envied the vastness of the Mongolian grassland all day long, and the concubine couldn't bear it, she wanted to marry far away, the emperor nodded, and the concubine had no reason to stop her."

"The queen's mind is far wider than that of the Mongolian grassland!" Hongli sighed, "To tell you the truth, Lavandorji grew up under my watch. The perfect choice."

Han Ling has a sense of proportion: "The concubine does not object to Xiao Shi Fumeng. Concubine Ying is from the Mongolian Army Banner. The emperor really likes Lavandorji. Just choose one of their sisters to betroth to him. Bagege She is weak, let us parents take care of her more, is there anyone who can't talk because of this?"

"No matter how good Lavandorje is, my daughter, is there any reason to let him pick and choose?" Hongli said happily, "You are thoughtful about everything, and you just don't care about wronging your own child."

"Husband and wife are one body, Ba Gege is the emperor's daughter, how can there be any reason why the courtiers and concubines are not fair?" Han Ling explained with a smile, "Nine Gege and ten Gege marry far away, at least we will see them less, if Ba Gege goes, The body may not be able to bear it, since you can have the best of both worlds, why risk your life with Ba Gege?"

Hongli was very emotional: "You have said that, what else can I say?"

When Sheng Jia left, Cheng Shuang couldn't help asking Han Ling: "Master, are you really willing to let Shi Gege marry far away from Mongolia?"

"Compared to Hai Lancha, Lavandorji betrothed Xiaoshi to be rich and rich." Han Ling sighed, "Look at the fifth girl and the seventh girl, they practiced riding and archery when they were younger. Life may not be their original intention, right? If Lavandorji can treat Xiao Shi kindly from beginning to end, what's the point of asking him to be his son-in-law?"

Cheng Shuang suddenly realized: "Parents should think long-term for their children, and the painstaking efforts of the master will never be in vain."

For Concubine Xin, this is a great favor, and Cheng Shuang privately sent her a letter: "The master has already invited the Lord Long Live, and the candidate for the eighth forehead will be selected by the master himself. Don't say anything, the son of Zasak must be the Lord, as for whether it is the ninth princess or the tenth princess, I still have my own considerations, if it is spread now, it will be very detrimental to the future of the eighth princess, please pay attention to the concubine master!"

"Don't worry, aunt!" Concubine Xin was overjoyed, "Master's kindness to my mother and daughter is so great, it would be shameful not to repay, there is no reason to add trouble to my master!"

Cheng Shuang accepted the generous reward, because he reminded Concubine Xin: "As the master and empress do, the candidate for the eighth son-in-law should come from a family of the Manjun Banner. The master and empress are busy with palace affairs, so the concubine and the concubine may wish to teach the maid's family to pay attention, and if there are suitable candidates, just report Let the empress know that if you like it twice, it will be more beneficial to the eighth princess."

Concubine Xin became more and more excited: "Thank you, aunt, for your reminder!"

For things like fondling, most people have the mentality of "hide if you can hide". Concubine Xin thought to herself, if Ba Gege didn't use fondling, Lavandorji would probably be the nine-headed son-in-law. Unknown, it is reasonable to be cautious.

After the Duanyang Festival, the royal family moved to the Old Summer Palace, and the upper and lower palaces finally got a chance to recuperate.

Of course, this is the calm before the storm.

"The first one was in the Empress Dowager's bedroom. I saw that Concubine Qian looked good, why did she become seriously ill all of a sudden?" Han Ling turned to ask Concubine Yu, "I remember that Concubine Qian and you are in the same year, right?"

"Yes!" Concubine Yu replied, "The concubine is two months older than Concubine Qian."

Han Ling was taken aback for a moment: "Has Hongluo been away for two years?"

"Yes!" Hongluo's death indirectly made King Jingjun today, and Concubine Yu certainly has a deep memory of the day of his death sacrifice.

"I went to the Old Summer Palace to serve Empress Xiao Qixian in the old Mingyuan as a side Fujin. At that time, Zi Hongluo was just born, and he followed me begging for snacks since he was a child. There is nothing wrong with him, how did he come to this point today?" Han Ling sighed, "The late emperor only had three sons who grew up, and I will meet him under the Nine Springs in the future, how can I explain to him!"

Concubine Yu didn't take it seriously: "Master, my wife is as benevolent as she is righteous. If you do your own crimes, the late emperor can't blame you."

"The deceased is gone!" Han Ling stood up, "Let's go and see Dowager Qian!"

Just as Concubine Yu was about to agree, Zhang Lei hurriedly communicated, "My lord, my servant has something important to report to you!"

Han Ling returned to her original position: "Come in!"

Zhang Lei glanced at Concubine Yu, with a hint of hesitation on his face.

Concubine Yu bowed her body and saluted: "The concubine will leave first!"

Han Ling frowned slightly: "Is there anything else I want to keep from Concubine Yu from her knowing?"

Zhang Lei gritted his teeth: "My lord, the Kyushu Qing Banquet is here to report, King Jingjun is dead!"

"What!" Han Ling got up in shock, and Concubine Yu fell backwards with a "gudong".

The cause of Yongqi's death is very disgraceful: Fang escaped from the confinement, found Yongqi's bedroom and spent the night, woke up early the next day, Yongqi was dizzy and lost her breath before the resident physician arrived. In the chaos, he jumped into the palace pool to die for his husband, and Chang Shi went to the palace to report the funeral. The emperor lost a son without any mental preparation.

Needless to say, Concubine Yu was crying for Yongqi, and Hanling was also sad because she couldn't get water. The emperor hated her for not fighting, and really felt sorry for this excellent son. According to the prince's etiquette, he will handle the funeral affairs of respecting the king of the county.

Immediately afterwards, on May 54th, Concubine Qian was critically ill, and at her deathbed, all her belongings were given to the ten daughters of the emperor, Gu Lun and Princess Xiao. [-] years old.

The so-called mourning soldiers must win, the emperor was somewhat sentimental, and because of his decree, he ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to allocate money to Yongxuan's mother and son according to the duke's rule.

In comparison, the orphans and widows left by Yongqi are obviously much more miserable.

Needless to say, the Fang family chopped up the corpses and fed them to wolves and dogs; the concubine of Suo Chuo Luo family sent them to the temple to pray for their dead husbands. Exile, or even death, the entire King's Mansion in Jingjun was mostly vacant.

Yongxi and Yongjue also asked for the title of Yongqi's only son, Mianyi, and Hongli angered Xilin Jueluo, because he said to the second son: "Mianyi is young, and the future is not yet known. The matter of the title will be discussed after he grows up. !"

Yong Jue replied: "Fifth brother is the king of the county, please give Ama an extra favor and pay for the palace according to Baylor's rules."

"Yongqi only has one son, how many people can he get to support him? Mian Yi is raised in Yufei Palace, and all the expenses are paid by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He is young, what kind of Baylor's salary does he need?" Don't look at the monk Looking at the face of the Buddha, Xilinjueluo's family still has to give face. Hongli thought about it for a while, and ordered Li Yu, "Let the House of Internal Affairs know, and allocate it to the Wangfu according to the clan's rule!"

The prince opened the mansion, and the An family has 23 taels of silver. Yongqi has the private house of Empress Xiao Qixian, Xilin Jueluo has a generous dowry, and Yongqi is the prince who is more favored. Even if the emperor does not pay the salary, the emperor can maintain the expenditure of the whole government by relying on the existing Huangzhuang farm. Xilin Jueluo knew that his in-laws were offended, so he simply repatriated most of the servants in the palace under the pretext of keeping filial piety. Quietly lived the days of living in seclusion and worshiping Buddha.

Yongqi was like a butterfly inciting a typhoon. His death indirectly affected the direction and destiny of the entire Qianlong Dynasty.

The author has something to say: This chapter is a box lunch set.What I can say is: Yong Qi's death did not hide the plot of the heroine.
