Huanzhu's love life

Ziwei was still thinking about the story about the watch, and asked Little Swallow all the way.

Little Yanzi pursed her lips and said with a smile: "First, guess who that person is?"

Ziwei tentatively asked, "Isn't that the great scholar who has a dog at home?"

Little Yanzi said: "It's not him."

Ziwei guessed again: "It's not him. Who else? According to the Qing Dynasty's custom, civil servants were awarded earls at most, but you said that person is a duke."

After a little thought, Ziwei finally knew who Little Yanzi was talking about, and said, "Ah!"

Little Swallow laughed.

Ziwei also laughed and said, "You really are dying."

It turned out that Little Swallow was referring to none other than Fu Heng.

Ziwei said again: "I'm serious with you. I'm going to the theater tomorrow, do you know?"

Little Swallow asked: "Where to watch it? The big theater?"

Ziwei said: "That's right. It's in the Qingyin Pavilion in the East Palace."

Little Swallow said uninterestedly: "I won't go. It's not a good day, and the people above don't nod. And I don't understand anything. Kunqu opera. A play takes a long time, and it's noisy for days and you can't finish a song." A story. Just take Jinsuo and the people from our Shufangzhai to go."

On the second day, Ziwei took some people to the theater.

Little Swallow is at home doing geometry problems left for her by Mr. Chen.

She still remembered that a long time ago, Qianlong once said that when his mind was not clear, he would do geometry problems to clear his mind.Little Yanzi recalled that it seemed to be several years ago.

Having said that, she really wanted to be that simple.If the problem in front of you can be logically clear like a geometry problem.

When Ziwei came back, it was past noon.

Little Swallow asked her what play she had heard.Ziwei wanted to tell a story to Little Swallow.

After hearing the protagonist's name, Little Swallow laughed and said, "I'll just tell you."

Ziwei asked strangely: "You haven't seen it, where do you start?"

Little Yanzi opened her mouth wide, and said after a while: "It must be the loyal ministers who killed the treacherous ministers, and the lovers will eventually get married. There can be no suspense."

Ziwei laughed and scolded: "Who cares about you?"

The two went to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager, when suddenly there was a commotion outside, Ziwei and Little Yanzi hurried to the side without knowing why.

It turned out that Wen Fu, who was on an expedition to Jinchuan, was shot and died in battle.The military report has just come in, and the rest of the military situation is unknown.Qianlong issued an edict to the first-class Earl Wen Fu, who was hereditary and did not replace him, and worshiped Zhaozhong Shrine.

When the news spread to the harem, the impact on everyone was nothing more than, ah, the play has just been sung for a day, and the plot has not been unfolded, so it cannot be performed again.Not because of Wen Fu's death, but because of Qianlong's low interest.

Fortunately, at this time, there was also a moderately happy event, which neutralized Qianlong's mood.

Lady Lan is pregnant.

After Qianlong came to Chengde, he almost forgot the existence of Lan Guiren.Concubine Rong and the newcomer Yongchang are by Wang's side all day long, and there are also a group of beautiful women, which have not been recognized yet.

Now that such a big "joy" suddenly appeared, I am afraid that even Lan Guiren himself was taken aback.

Qianlong and the Queen Mother were naturally happy, especially the Queen Mother.

Since the seventh princess of Lingfei was born, few children were born in the harem.When I came back to Chengde, I encountered such a happy event.

The Empress Dowager was so happy that she wanted to give Lan Guiren a position, and Qianlong also had this intention. Suddenly remembering that he had mentioned the concubine's promotion to the Empress, he told the Queen Mother about the Queen's intention, and wanted to wait for Lan Guiren's affairs to follow orders. Concubine and Concubine Rong are together, so there is no need to toss about again.

When the queen mother heard that the queen offered to take the position of Concubine Ling, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

After Qianlong left, the Empress Dowager said to Nanny Gui: "When Concubine Rong entered the palace, the Ai family thought that according to the empress's character, she would not be able to tolerate others. As a result, the generosity she showed was not as good as she was a few years ago. It's like two different people."

Nanny Gui said: "The slaves are also puzzled. Just look at the selection of beautiful girls. According to the example a few years ago, the empress would never bring the newly selected beautiful girls to Chengde. This year not only brought all of them, but also brought more There is a move to support."

The queen mother smiled and said: "The sun is coming out from the west. The emperor just said that the seventh princess, the daughter of the imperial concubine, should replace Ziwei, who was originally negotiated, and marry Lavandorji, the grandson of Cering. The princess is Princess Gu Lun. The queen has no objection to this."

Nanny Gui said: "Then Princess He'an is raised by the Empress. If you want Princess He'an to marry the grandson of Celing according to Lafayette's wishes, even if you want to seal Princess Gulun, that's the best thing." His favor is also related to Kunning Palace. Now, it has fallen into the hands of Concubine Ling for no reason, maybe the empress is dumb and eats Coptis chinensis."

The queen mother frowned and said: "Princess Gu Lun has nothing to say, and Princess An must not be sealed. Even the daughter of Prince He must not have this kind of favor. It is not the daughter of the concubine Ling, but also other concubines in the palace. daughter."

Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager snorted coldly and said, "It's just that in these years, no other concubine has given birth to a child."

He sighed again: "I think our emperor is in his prime, but among the heirs, only the fifth elder brother is the one who has become famous. The son who was brought up and not sent away has only the twelfth elder brother. Twelve elder brothers, that child is not bad. , It's a pity that it's not the smart and energetic look that the emperor loves."

Nanny Gui said: "Even though the empress was jealous in a thousand ways, she only kept it in the harem. As for the matter of the crown prince, she seems to have nothing to ask for. I don't know why?"

The queen mother shook her head and said: "The Ai family doesn't understand either. This can be pretended for a while, but it can't be pretended for more than ten years. But, thinking about it carefully, it's not that she hasn't praised her son in front of the Ai family and the emperor. It's just that she doesn't know when she started , never say such things again.”

The queen mother asked Nanny Gui, "Do you still have any memories? When did you start?"

Nanny Gui couldn't remember either, so she could only say, "The family law and national law of my Qing Dynasty are different from those of the Ming Dynasty. The royal family's selection of the heir has nothing to do with the birth of the concubine or the birth of the concubine."

The queen mother sneered and said: "Really? Then you still remember that when Empress Xiaoxian was here, she was 36 or [-] years old, and the emperor was still looking forward to his son-in-law, hoping that the ministers outside would see it and spread rumors that he Go up the mountain to offer sacrifices to heaven and beg for a son for the queen."

Nanny Gui hurriedly said: "No matter what, it's all a thing of the past, why should the Empress Dowager worry about it."

The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The Ai family didn't remember it either, but just said it casually."

The Empress Dowager rubbed her forehead, and said: "The Ai family originally thought that the empress wanted to promote other concubines and suppress the Yanxi Palace because she saw that the Yanxi Palace was too arrogant. So, to get the status of Jinling Concubine, you have to force Kunning Palace, I didn't expect it to be so easy, she actually said it herself."

Seeing Nanny Gui standing there speechless, the queen mother smiled and sighed: "The Ai family chose her to be a queen that day. Firstly, her status and qualifications are indeed the best. Second, it is because she has cared for the emperor all these years. Her body is average, this is the best, respecting each other like a guest. I didn't expect her to be too hardworking and jealous. However, she is really different now. The Ai family can also rest, looking at Lan Guiren's children, sitting down Stable, safe birth is the blessing of Daqing."

Nanny Gui smiled and said, "How can the queen mother rest? Those concubines and wives outside line up to ask the queen mother to show her their attention. Let's just talk about today, you are so busy that you can't even watch a stable play." .”
