Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Dynasty

"By heaven's blessing, the emperor's imperial edict said: Grand Master Guo Yi, the daughter of Niu Hulu's Zhong Xiangxun family, who is born in a famous family, is pure and virtuous. By the benevolent order of the Empress Dowager, I canonize you as a concubine on the first day of November. Entering the palace. Erqi only accepts the elephant clothes. Show diligence and frugality with the emblem. Be honest with Hongxi. Act modestly and celebrate happily. Qinzai." The voice of the eunuch announcing the decree was high-pitched, but no one cared about it.An He kowtowed to thank him calmly, and the red gold inlaid moon white stone magnolia flower earrings swayed slightly with the movement.

Now Niuhulu's mansion has been inherited by Anhe's elder brother Faka, and the title left by Ye Bilong is also inherited.After sending away the eunuch Xuanzhi and the other brothers, Faka stood up and looked at the younger sister, hesitated for a while before saying: "Emiang is not in good health, she didn't come today, so I have time to pay her respects. It's October, and you will have to... don't blame your sister, she is struggling in the palace and needs someone to help her."

An He nodded slightly, and said: "I know." After a pause, "I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to leave the palace this time. I'm not serving by Erniang's side, brother must take good care of her." She, don't tell her to be bullied by my mother-in-law."

"I know." Faka couldn't hold back after all, and touched An He's head, "Let's go to Erniang's courtyard."

An He walked along the corridor with four maidservants, and sighed silently.It has been 13 years since time travel, I have experienced fear, anger, and negativity, and finally survived well, becoming the daughter of Ye Bilong, the future imperial concubine Niu Hulu.Even if she didn't study history in her previous life, she still remembered several famous concubines in the Kangxi Dynasty, especially Concubine Wen Xi, who was also the biological mother of ten elder brother Yin'er, a member of the famous Baye Party.It's just that the noble concubine Wen Xi died early in history, but now that she has become the Niu Hulu family, she naturally wants to protect herself.

"Emiang, I'm here to greet you." An He opened the curtain and walked in, just in time to see Shu Shujue Luo Shi wiping away tears from the corners of his eyes.She walked over to hold Shu Shujue Luo's hand, and said, "What's wrong with Er Niang?"

"I just read Buddhist scriptures, and my eyes were accidentally smoked, it's not a problem." Shu Shujue Luo replied with a smile.

Even though the years have passed, and the colorful clothes on his body are replaced by plain blue clothes, they still can't hide Shu Shujue Luo's beauty.She is Ye Bilong's favorite side Fujin, and she gave birth to two daughters and a son for Ye Bilong. The eldest son, Faka, has already ascended the throne. The eldest daughter is now the head of the emperor's harem, and the second daughter is also going into the palace now. , how can she not be sad?Besides, she knew exactly why the second daughter entered the palace.

There was no trace of Buddhist scriptures on the table at all, but An He didn't expose her, and only said: "My daughter will enter the palace in more than a month, and I'm afraid I won't be able to serve Er Niang anymore. Di Er Niang always comes to visit Er Niang It's not pleasing to the eye, but with my sister and brother here, Erniang doesn't have to worry." The palace pays attention to "mother is more expensive than a child", in fact, isn't everyone like them the same?An He thought of her mother-in-law Bayara and her only son A Ling'a who openly refused to show up when the decree was announced today, and she didn't know what Kangxi would think when the news came back.

"That place eats people and doesn't spit out bones. Your sister has been in the palace for so many years, and now she wants to drag you into the palace to stabilize her position. How can Er Niang be willing!" Shu Shujue Luo Shi couldn't hold back, tears It falls down like a broken bead.The palms and backs of her hands were full of flesh. She felt sorry for her eldest daughter's difficulty in walking in the palace, but she also resented her for dragging her own sister into the whirlpool.

An He didn't know whether to persuade her or not, so she could only sit on the side and lean against Shu Shujue Luo, patting her on the back lightly.When she crossed over, her original body died because of smallpox, and Shu Shu felt that Luo Shi took care of her every day regardless of the danger that she had never had flowers. This embrace was so familiar before, and I'm afraid she will never be able to hold it again.Thinking that her mother-in-law was very favored in the past, after Ye Bilong's death, she still lived in a corner, accompanied by the Qingdeng ancient Buddha all day long, which shows how difficult it is to be a concubine.After she enters the palace, I'm afraid it will be even more sad. The concubines in Kangxi's harem have their own characteristics. She, a little girl who doesn't go out and doesn't go out, can only try her best to protect herself.

Fortunately, she was born in the Niuhulu clan of the Huanghuang Banner in Manchuria, and she, Ama Yebilong, still has the blood of the Aixinjueluo family. Based on this, it is estimated that no one will deliberately make things difficult.

On the first day of November, I woke up early in the morning, with my long hair combed into two small heads.Because of the autumn and winter seasons, the jewelry on the head and body are all gold and silver.Although Bayara didn't like Shu Shujue Luo, he still sent someone a set of gold-studded ruby ​​headgear, but An He asked someone to put it away, and picked out a silver four-butterfly swing to wear. With emerald inlaid pearls, Suihan Sanyou's head flower, it looks graceful.Cloisonne blue earrings inlaid with red coral are dangling from her earrings, and a pink flag dress embroidered with roses is covered with a blue waistcoat. Palace sedan chair.

This time, Empress Renxiao's younger sister Hesheli, Yipin's younger sister Guo Luoluo, former Qianqing Palace's tea-serving maid and now Uya nobleman Uya's, and Empress Dowager's maid Wan Liuha were canonized together with her this time. Shi.Among them, apart from nobleman Wu Ya and Guo Changzai, the other three people including her only conferred concubine concubine status, among them, Wanliu Hashi had the lowest share, which was only for Changzai, while the others were concubines. It is an example of concubine position.

"My lord, the Kunning Palace is ahead." The eunuch leading the way said in a low voice.

"Thank you, Father-in-law." An He nodded slightly, and Jin Xiu, who followed her into the palace, handed over a purse eye-catchingly, which made the smile on the face of the leading eunuch more sincere.

Standing at the gate of Kunning Palace was an old lady in dark green clothes. After seeing An He, she hurried up to greet her, and said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to your arrival! The empress has been waiting in the palace for a long time." It’s over, my lord, hurry up and see him.”

An He nodded.She knew this nanny, Shu Shujue Luo Shi told her before leaving the house that this was her sister Niu Hulu's nanny Zhou Shi, who had been with her sister for a long time.She followed the footsteps of Nanny Zhou and said: "Since the master and the empress are waiting, then Nanny will take me to pay my respects first."

Walking into the main hall of Kunning Palace, a woman wearing a Shu gauze flag dress with dark red and gold thread embroidered with cloud patterns was sitting on the main seat.She has a brilliant appearance, and can even be called charming, with a slight smile on her face that has been slightly powdered.The head of the shelf is full of pearls and emeralds, among which the emerald-inlaid red agate crested bu yao is particularly luxurious.Seeing An He walk in, the queen also excused her courtesy, and said directly: "My sister is here, sit down." The words were not very close.

"Greetings to the master and empress, my empress is blessed and safe." An He bowed obediently before sitting down.

"I hugged you before when you were young, but in a blink of an eye you have grown so big." The queen counted the time, "In a blink of an eye, it has been 12 years."

"Emianang also tried to mention Empress at home, but she just wished she couldn't see each other." An He conveyed Shu Shujue Luo's greetings, "This was embroidered by Emiang overnight, and she said it was Empress' favorite peony pattern. There is a peace talisman, which Eniang has been chanting and enshrining in front of the Buddha for a long time." After finishing speaking, she asked Wanyan, the nanny who followed into the palace, to hand over a small box, which contained a purse besides Shu Shu Some of the private money that Jue Luo has accumulated over the years.

"Emiang, are you okay?" The corners of the queen's eyes were a little wet, and she gradually choked up while holding the purse.

"Master's health is not good, the imperial doctor ordered to calm down, don't be overjoyed and sad." Nanny Zhou hurriedly dissuaded her.

An He lowered his brows and narrowed his eyes, and said: "Everything is fine, Mrs. Er, she is taken care of by her elder brother. I don't know that my mistress is in poor health, and even made my mistress cry. It's my fault. Mistress, see I'm a little tired, why don't you take a good rest first, and come back to talk to the master and empress after you feel better."

"Alright, you can go back first." The queen wiped the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief, "The side hall arranged for you has been cleaned, and I have bought some more eunuchs and maids for you. Madam Zhou will take care of you later. You introduced it."

"The concubine resigned first." Shu Shu felt that Luo Shi was afraid that she would be frivolous because of her status as the queen's younger sister, so the rules and regulations for this month's tutoring were the strictest, even when she saw her own sister, she would follow the concubine's rules when she met the queen. The etiquette system did not dare to relax at all.

Bypassing the main hall, An He gave Zhou Nanny a purse with broken silver before pretending to ask casually: "The master is not in good health, so why don't you let anyone come to the house to say something, but call me rude today." .”

Nanny Zhou weighed the weight of her purse, and then she said with satisfaction: "Your Majesty has always been like this, she doesn't want to appear weak in front of outsiders, and she doesn't want the Sir and the wife in the house to worry. The servants have been persuading me for a long time, and the Madam will not Listen, I can only keep it a secret."

"That's how it is." An He nodded, "Is this my residence?"

"Yes." Mother Zhou said, "Because there is only one concubine who is not the main concubine in Kunning Palace, the side hall also chose the biggest one for the young master. This is the chief eunuch, Eunuch Lin, and two other concubines. The little eunuch Xiao Hezi and Xiao Luzi; there are also three court ladies, namely Feiqing, Feihong and Feilan."

An He breathed a sigh of relief after getting to know the servants in the side hall and letting Jinxiu send Madam Zhou away.Her package had already been put away, so Aunt Wanyan took on the role of aunt in charge of the side hall.After explaining to each of the waiters a purse, An He changed into pajamas and took a nap.
