Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Dynasty

During the days when Kangxi was not in the capital, Anhe was free from the rules of asking for peace, and led Yinlin and Thirteenth Brother to dodge in Qixiang Palace, eating sweet and sour grapes, and drinking sweet and smooth sweet-scented osmanthus honey dew , The beauty of the little days was so beautiful that Concubine Rong was envious.However, Concubine Rong is not bad. According to the method given by An He, the few concubines who like to gossip often copy the palace rules a hundred times, and their ears are instantly cleared up. Talk to your daughter when you are so strict.

Although Concubine Rong has a good relationship with An He, it is strictly stipulated that the third elder brother is not allowed to get close to any one of the eldest elder brother or the prince.Perhaps Concubine Rong is the one who sees the most clearly in the harem. The elder brother who is getting older is ambitious and wants to take the crown prince instead. In the future, there will be constant battles between the two factions.And the only thing she has to do is to take good care of her two children, which are her most important lifeblood.

"Usually, even if Concubine Rong came here, she would not bring the three princesses with her," Jinxiu covered An He's legs with a quilt made of pomegranate red vase silk, and said in a low voice, "These days are a bit abnormal."

"The third princess was born in 12 years, and she will get married in a few years." An He asked Jinxiu to take off the armor on her hand, "Maybe I want to take her out for a walk." Most of the princesses of the Qing Dynasty He is close to Mongolia, and after marrying out, he needs to be in charge of the princess mansion and the eunuch mansion alone. How can he not exercise his interpersonal skills now?Mongolia seems to be peaceful, but it is not monolithic. Whether life will be good or not will depend on one's own means and courage.

Jinxiu nodded, and then said: "Today, the Yonghe Palace invited the imperial doctor to check the pulse, and said that Empress Depin's pregnancy is very stable, and she doesn't even need to drink the anti-fetal medicine frequently. Ever since the news of Empress Depin's pregnancy spread, the palace Many empresses and young lords have their eyes on the Yonghe Palace, and I heard that Empress An concubine has moved her mind and wants to adopt Empress De concubine's child."

"Concubine An?" An He looked up at Jinxiu, "Is the news all ready?"

"It was a message from someone in Chuxiu Palace." Jinxiu said softly.

"Concubine De is the same concubine as her, and she is the lord of the first palace. How can she be allowed to adopt a child, let alone Concubine De is so favored." An He frowned slightly, "Concubine An has been punished since the empress dowager punished her. I have been neglected all the time, and now I suddenly become a top rafter, and I feel very strange when I think about it. Go check and find out what's going on?"

"Yes." Jinxiu replied, "In addition, the imperial physician also reported back and forth, saying that Concubine Duan suddenly had an old illness, and asked the master what the rules are?"

"There is no shortage of good medicine in the palace, just treat her with peace of mind." An He said, "The concubine Duan has been decreed by the Empress Dowager to remove the gold book and seal, leaving only the title of concubine. We can't kill them all." The people who choreographed her when she was named the noble concubine are now jumping out one by one, and she is eager to see if someone is behind the scenes. "Tell Zhuang Hai to inquire carefully and see what kind of mess this group of them is making."

"Yes, servant girl, tell Eunuch Zhuang now."

Yinxuan and Yin'e were not by Anhe's side, but it was not impossible for Anhe to hear about them, especially these two children somehow asked Kangxi to agree to give Anhe the skins they hunted for review with Kangxi. The good ones were sent to the capital together.An He couldn't be more surprised when he saw the pile of rabbit fur brought in by the little eunuch.

"What nonsense." An He shook his head and said.

"That's all due to the filial piety of Sixth and Tenth Brothers." Wanyan Sister said with a smile, "This rabbit fur is very good, soft and comfortable, and it's most suitable to make armholes for the master in winter. The cloak in the future With such fur on the side, it will definitely be very warm. The two elder brothers can hunt so much fur at such a young age, the master should be happy."

"Don't mention how eye-catching it is." An He took a sip of tea and asked Feilan to put away all the fur, "Ask Zhuang Hai to come in."

"Yes." Sister Wanyan knew that An He wanted to intervene in the matter that Zhuang Hai had asked before, so she assigned jobs to Feilan, Feihong, and Feiqing, while Jinxiu stood guard at the door.The gate was not closed, so as not to arouse suspicion.

"Greetings to the master." Zhuang Hai said, "according to the master's order, the servant went to inquire carefully, and the concubine An did have the idea of ​​adopting the emperor's heir in the womb of the concubine De, but this idea was instigated by the concubine Jing. Other than that, nothing was found. It's just that the slaves found out that Duan Concubine's unsafe health was caused by someone drugging her behind her back."

"Have you found out who it is?" An He narrowed his eyes and asked.

"The slave is incompetent, and the clues were cut off by a few palace ladies in Xinzheku." Zhuang Hai replied, "Those palace servants were also released from the palace not long ago."

An He always thought that Xinzheku was a place where criminal slaves served as servants. After entering the palace, they found out that Xinzheku was not only a place where slaves who questioned crimes were distributed, but also some of them were on duty. Not all Xinzheku people It is a crime.She lowered her eyes and said: "Since it is released from the palace, it will be very difficult for us to find out. Organize the things you have on hand, and put aside the matter of concubine An for the time being. We have to talk to the emperor about concubine Duan being drugged." Talk about it."

Concubine An and Concubine Jing have always been in the same spirit, their tempers are not bad, maybe they really won't engage in any conspiracy.But why was Concubine Duan drugged?Could it be that someone wanted to take the life of Concubine Duan by taking advantage of the fact that the emperor and the empress dowager were not in the palace?

It's no wonder that An He thinks about the concubine Duan's concubine as a conspiracy. The fight between the women in the harem is probably more tragic than this.She took a deep breath and calmed down before she said: "Nurse, secretly reveal Concubine An's careful thoughts to Concubine De. Be careful, don't let Chuxiu Palace and Yonghe Palace see our traces." Since Concubine An and Concubine Jing made a move, she let Concubine De and Concubine Cheng restrain her. "Tell the people in the Imperial Hospital to treat Concubine Duan."

"Yes." Wanyan Nanny replied,

Soldiers come to block the water and cover them with soil, let's see the tricks.

The things An He asked Zhuang Hai to sort out were quickly sent to Kangxi's desk.Kangxi didn't seem to express anything after reading it, but asked Li Dequan to bring a charcoal basin to burn all the papers.Looking at the letters gradually turning to ashes in the charcoal basin, Kangxi closed his eyes tightly and let out a long breath.

The matter of the concubine was a decision he made himself, but he didn't expect that An and the girl would also notice that something was wrong.Concubine Duan once gave birth to a princess for him, but the little princess died young and died of illness when she was less than two years old. Concubine Duan also injured her body during childbirth and could no longer have children.It wasn't that Kangxi didn't have affection for her, that's why he conferred her as a concubine when he sealed off the Sixth Palace in 16, but he didn't expect Duan concubine's natal family, Dong's family, to be attached to Mingzhu's party and secretly support the boss in seeking the crown prince.

During this period of time, the Mingzhu Party has been building momentum for the boss in the court, and the Dong family is also one of the most joyous people.No matter what, Concubine Duan and the Dong family couldn't stay.

"Your majesty, the crown prince has led a group of elder brothers to pay his respects to the emperor." The little eunuch guarding the door outside said a few words in Li Dequan's ear, and Li Dequan hurried to report, "The emperor also said in the afternoon that he would reward you Mongolians." The prince, the county king, the hour is almost here."

"Let them come in." Kangxi opened his eyes and the entanglement on his face disappeared, "I want to write a letter to Concubine Niu Hulu, and send someone to secretly send it back to the capital."

"Hey." Li Dequan bowed in response.

When An He got the reply, he finally understood some meaning between the lines of Kangxi's ambiguous words, to the effect that he told An He not to care about Duan Concubine anymore, and he would not blame An He for Duan Concubine's death or life.Thinking of Concubine Duan's lingering sickness in the past few years, until the old illness broke out during this period, she suddenly thought of a thought, a thought that made her shudder: Could Concubine Duan's illness be caused by Kangxi on purpose?

"Master, the charcoal basin is ready." Jin Xiu whispered.

An He came back to his senses and let Jinxiu go out before throwing Kangxi's letter into the charcoal basin.This was ordered by Kangxi, and it was burned immediately after reading the letter.The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her idea was very likely to be correct. Otherwise, how could the medical skills of the imperial physicians in the Ether Hospital not be able to cure Duanfei's cough?

The questions in An He's mind followed one after another. It seemed that these mysteries could not be solved until Kangxi came back.Since Kangxi told her not to take care of the concubine's affairs, then she just didn't care.

"Master, the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother are both awake, and they are now looking for the master." Jinxiu's voice sounded outside the door.

"Hold it in." An He suppressed all the emotions on his face, seeing that the letter had been completely burned, he said.

Jinxiu led the two nuns in, glanced at the charcoal basin on the ground, exchanged glances with An He, and took the charcoal basin out.She did it aboveboard, and the two nuns put all their attention on the little elder brother in their arms, and didn't pay attention to Jinxiu's movements.

"Why did you wake up so early today?" An He asked after stretching out his hand to hug Thirteenth Elder Brother, and asking Nanny to put Yinping beside her.

"Last night I went to bed early, so I woke up early today." Zhang Momo beside Yinxuan replied with a smile, "As soon as Elder Brother Twelve woke up, he clamored to come and say hello to his mother."

"The same is true for Elder Brother Thirteen." Nanny Liu followed with a smile.

"Have you been breastfed?" An He lowered his head and teased Elder Brother Thirteen, "Have Elder Brother Twelve had breakfast too?"

"I've already eaten it." Nanny Zhang replied.

Having two children by their side really allowed An He to forget all the troubles for a while.After learning about Concubine An's and Concubine Jing's plans, Concubine De also hated them both to the bone, and tricked Concubine An endlessly, making Concubine An and Concubine Jing suffer a lot of hidden losses.When Concubine An and Concubine Jing wanted to fight back, Kangxi's royal driver had already set off from Mongolia. In order not to let the emperor know about their careful thoughts, the two had no choice but to stop their efforts, and the idea of ​​adopting Concubine De's son was shattered.

At the beginning of August, Yujia returned to Beijing.
