Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 19 Earthquake and Grace

The child's body was soft and fat with a milky fragrance. An He hugged the little bun wrapped in swaddling clothes and kissed and kissed again and again, almost crying out for the little bun.Sister Wanyan hurriedly asked the wet nurse to take the baby down to nurse, then brought the goat milk and said, "Master has become more and more naughty after giving birth to the little brother, and if the little brother cries later, the master will be at a loss. "

"Little elder brother is really cute." An He took a sip of the goat milk that had been boiled with chopped almonds, "How is Concubine Dai Jiashu, has the emperor visited her?"

"After going there once, I never set foot in Concubine Dai Jiashu's palace again." Madam Wanyan said, "Now the little elder brother is being raised by Empress Debi, I heard that Concubine Dai Jiashu secretly cried a few times, now There was no smile on his face."

Dai Jiashi was only 16 years old when she entered the palace, and now she is only nearly [-] years old. She was rejected because she gave birth to an elder brother with a disabled leg. How will she live the long years in the next few decades?An He sighed, and said: "She is also a poor person. The little brother was born prematurely and is weak. Now his legs are like this, and he doesn't know how to live in the future." People in this era believe in fortunetelling, and Kangxi also thinks that little brother Brother's disability is a warning from heaven to him, and he has always been indifferent to the little elder brother.Without Han Ama's liking, the birth mother is a concubine, and the little elder brother's life in the palace will be much more difficult in the future.

"Master, don't think too much." Wanyan Nanny persuaded, "It's all due to fate."

An He was about to say something when he suddenly felt a shaking, which lasted for a short time, but it was enough to make everyone panic.

"It's an earthquake!" Wanyan and Jinxiu hurriedly protected An He and walked out.

"Little brother!" An He wanted to run to the greenhouse next door to take his son out, but just as he turned around, he saw the wet nurse rushing out with the baby in her arms, so she quickly took it and hugged her in her arms until she ran to a relatively He breathed a sigh of relief when the space was empty.The child was still sleeping peacefully in its swaddling womb, and was not affected by the earthquake just now. An He clearly felt the sound of the tiles falling in the palace, and felt a twinge of fear in his heart.

Over the years, she has also experienced many earthquakes in the capital, but this time it scared her the most.The queen also came over in a hurry, and was relieved to see that everything was fine with An He and the little elder brother, and said, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay, come out quickly." An He shook his head, "Sister, let's go to the Compassion Palace first, in case the earthquake just now scared the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager."

"Then be careful yourself. I'm afraid that the earthquake will come again and again. Don't go back to the side hall for the time being." The queen instructed and took people to the Compassionate Ning Palace.

The empress dowager and the empress dowager had experienced such things several times, so they were not frightened, and they were escorted by the palace staff to a safe place for the time being.None of the palaces in the Forbidden City collapsed or damaged due to the earthquake, but the Yuqing Palace, which was rebuilt under the decree of Kangxi in 18 years, collapsed part of the palace wall because of the earthquake, and several craftsmen were crushed underneath because they could not escape. They were all rescued, but one person lost his life because of his injuries.

Kangxi asked Li Dequan to deal with the aftermath himself, and put aside the construction of Yuqing Palace, and the prince still lived in the side hall of Qianqing Palace for the time being.

"I heard that many houses outside collapsed due to the earthquake." An He took a sip of tea, and said to Concubine Hesheli, "Many people in the palace were frightened. My sister wasn't frightened, right?"

"It's okay, it's not like I haven't experienced it before." Concubine Hesheli smiled slightly, "You and the little elder brother are all fine, I saw why your eyes turned black again, and you haven't slept for a while. okay?"

"I'm always worried about aftershocks, and I'm afraid that my little brother will be shocked, so I haven't been able to sleep well." An He confessed, "I have experienced earthquakes at home before, but I am not as scared as this time. Maybe It's because I'm more sensitive, and I like to think about other things."

"You are worried about the little elder brother getting hurt, and I can understand that." Concubine Hesheli said, "The people in the Qin Tianjian have already said that there will be no more earthquakes in the next few days, and you can also relax. Be careful. The empress is busy appeasing the harem and assisting with the affairs of the six palaces. I saw that she has lost a lot of weight. Why don't you persuade the empress to take a good rest?"

"Sister, don't you think I haven't persuaded her? I always urge her to eat the medicinal food in Kunning Palace." An He herself was also very helpless. It is really a headache to have a stubborn elder sister who doesn't listen to persuasion. Thinking of proposing marriage to Yan Zhu, no matter how much I tried to persuade her, she refused to listen. Yan Zhu is only fifteen this year, so there is no need to make a marriage so early. Besides, any of the Eight Banners women who dare to propose marriage is now a show girl .”

"The empress is just thinking about my younger brother at home." The concubine Hesheli said, "I heard that there are frequent good news from the front line, and you may return triumphantly soon. When the draft starts, the empress empress will ask for advice for your younger brother. The will of the marriage will save a lot of annoying things."

"That's what I said, but when I see my sister is so busy every day, and she doesn't even care about her own body, I always feel a little worried." An He never dared to forget what Wang Taiyi said. She also had a miscarriage before, and suffering like this will do her own harm but no benefit, "Sister Bisheng just doesn't listen to me, Concubine Tong Gui has been depressed since the death of elder brother Yinyu, and she hasn't been able to get out of bed for half a year. I came out of mourning, and I was frightened by the earthquake a while ago. I have heard that the emperor intends to let Concubine Tong's sister enter the palace to accompany Concubine Tong."

"That's right, she regards elder brother Yinti as her own." Concubine Hesheli said, "I heard that Concubine Tong Guifei was diagnosed as difficult to conceive, so after adopting elder brother Yinti, she wholeheartedly She took care of her, but she didn't expect Elder Brother Yinyu to die of illness, so she was naturally sad. The emperor did not stop to comfort her, but after all, the court affairs are busy, and he can't ignore the important affairs of the previous court for the sake of a concubine, so he can only be called Concubine Tong My younger sister entered the palace to accompany her."

It turned out to be true.An He lowered his eyes and thought about it. There were indeed two Tong families, one big and one big, in the Kangxi harem. It seemed that the younger sister who entered the palace would also be accepted as a concubine in the future.

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing that An He frowned slightly, Concubine Hesheli asked with a smile.

"I just think that the emperor is really kind to Concubine Tong Gui. Not everyone can expect such kindness." An He said with a slight smile.

"After all, they are cousins, and the Tong family is the emperor's ancestral family, so the emperor will naturally treat Concubine Tong better."

On the fourth day after the conversation between An He and Concubine Hesheli, Xiao Tong came to the palace with a lot of money.I have to say that the girls in Tong's family are all very good-looking. Little Tong's family is only twelve years old this year, and her face is so tender that water can be squeezed out.Although everyone thought that she was just here to accompany Concubine Tong, An He understood that once Xiao Tong entered the palace, there would be no time for her to leave the palace again.
