Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Dynasty

Galdan led the remaining thousands of soldiers and horses to flee back to Khobdor, and the Junggar rebellion was temporarily subsided.Because Tong Guogang was injured and had to return to Beijing for treatment, and the Qing army had to be repaired, Kangxi ordered his troops to return to the court, and the Mongolian garrison remained on standby to prevent surprise attacks.

This time, all the personnel who made great achievements in the expedition were rewarded, but Prince Yu and Prince Gong thought that the big brother was still a little worried.Although the two of them are Kangxi's brothers, Kangxi is the emperor after all, and they are just ministers. It is not impossible for Kangxi to order the two of them to take responsibility in order to protect his son.Fortunately, Kangxi did not have such a plan, he just condolences to his elder brother and younger brother, and rewarded them with a hundred taels of gold and several good horses in recognition of their achievements in suppressing the rebellion.

As for the elder brother, Kangxi neither praised nor praised him, as if this son hadn't gone out with the army at all.

Concubine Hui was a little smug at the beginning of the show when the big brother's performance of victorious and bravery spread, but now she is ashamed to see others, and she can't wait to grab her son by the ear and chatter in front of her.No matter what his status is when he joins the army, he has to follow the instructions of the coach, but the elder brother refuses to do so, not only wasting a great opportunity to capture Galdan alive, but also causing Tong Guogang to be seriously injured.If Tong Guogang died because of this, then their family and the Tong family would have a big enmity.

"Although the emperor rewarded him for his meritorious deeds, Eldest Elder Brother still hasn't received any approval from the emperor. It seems that this time he is about to fall into a fight." Concubine Yi ate a grape, "My younger brother is also traveling with the army this time. , he told me all the big brother's actions, which really surprised me. How can a person who is not even a lieutenant dare to disobey the commander's order like this? According to military regulations, he will be whipped thirty The whip was then tied up and exposed to the scorching sun, if he wasn’t the emperor’s son, how could Prince Yu let him go so easily.”

"Fortunately, the emperor is also sensible. According to the emperor's intention, he probably wants to calm down this matter." An He said, "Many of the Eight Banners who went to the expedition this time have reached the age of marriage, and next year will also be married." It’s the day of the draft. Let’s see, after a few days the emperor will decree that girls of the right age can participate in the election, and everyone should look away from the elder brother.”

"It's about time. Not to mention the outside world, even the capital has a backlog of beautiful women. Those who are of the right age are busy waiting for elections, and those who are over the age are busy applying to the household department and getting married. How can those princes and ministers have time to talk to the University?" What's on my brother's mind." Concubine Yi said, "The crown prince, the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother have all reached the time when they can choose Fujin, and the palace should be lively again. Your younger brother who was born in the first place should also get married, what do you think? "

"What else can I do, after all, I have to help." An He took a sip of iced grape juice, "After all these years, Alinga has been obedient, and he also followed the driver to go out a while ago." But no one was sent to tell her That's all, even Fu Bao didn't know the news until after he set off. "After all, he is the only son born of my grandma's concubine Fujin, so I have to help take care of it."

"Maybe after a few days, someone should come into the palace and talk to you." Concubine Yi said, "Next year the crown prince will choose the crown princess, maybe there will be many people who want to make connections and go through the back door, we all have to be cautious."

"Isn't it?" An He stared at the rim of the cup, "Let's talk about it later."

In mid-August, Kangxi really issued an order to resume the draft. People who were still discussing the elder brother's disobedience to the military order put the matter behind them and began to cut clothes and add jewelry for the girls of the right age at home.The overage girl's family is also preparing to report the overage matter, and only waits for the household department to see her ready to marry as soon as she is disqualified from the draft.

After all, Bayara came to find Anhe.I haven't seen her for a few years, and Bayara looked a lot haggard. The serious illness last year took away too much of her energy. The mother who broke her heart because of her son's marriage.

"I will remember what my mother-in-law said. I will help to look after Ling'er's marriage. It doesn't matter whether you give a marriage or not. It is the last decision of the emperor. I am the most noble concubine. I hope the mother-in-law can understand what the emperor means." In order to avoid turning around and blaming herself when A Ling'a's marriage didn't meet Bayara's wishes, An He first opened the window to Bayara to speak frankly.

"I know, I just hope that girl can get along well with Ah Ling." Bayara squeezed the veil, "Master Mingzhu intended to marry our family, saying that he wanted to marry his youngest daughter to Ah Ling. Ling, this time Ge Ge is also going to participate in the draft, can the empress take a look?"

"Master Mingzhu's Gege?" An He raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Ama never made friends with the assistant ministers in order to protect herself when she was still alive, and now the mother-in-law should know what's going on in the court Lord Mingzhu and Lord Suo'etu don't like each other. If our family gets married with Lord Mingzhu, I'm afraid it will be regarded as a party of Mingzhu. Don't forget that the emperor will only dispose of it in 27 years A good friend of Master Mingzhu."

Bayara opened his mouth and didn't know how to argue, so he could only say, "I was confused."

Seeing Bayara's temperless appearance, Anhe was really not used to it, but she and Bayara had never had anything intimate to say, and after talking about it, she asked someone to send Bayara away. Palace to go.

"Master, Yuan Guiren wanted to see the little princess, so he specially sent someone over to ask."

"Let her go and have a look." An He said, "The news of the draft has spread these days, what is the attitude of the other concubines in the palace?"

Jinxiu came over for a cup of milk tea, and replied: "Since the emperor returned to the palace, he has spent more time in Wang Chang's place, and other empresses and mistresses don't see each other often. The empresses on the main seat don't have any ideas, but the ones below Those noble people are always there, but they are starting to be bitter and jealous again."

"As long as they don't cause any trouble, we don't care about it." An He flicked the emerald bead bracelet on his wrist, "This time the draft emperor asked me to cook with Concubine Yi, Concubine Tong and Concubine Rong. I'm afraid there are quite a few people who come to visit me, and in the future, when people I don't know come to ask for an interview, they will all say that I have a headache and it is not suitable to meet guests, and I will tell the people below to refuse them all."

"Yes."

In September, Elder Brother heard the news that Da Fujin was pregnant again, but An He was already very indifferent about it.Although the imperial doctor said that Da Fujin was not suitable for pregnancy in the past few years, but the elder brother was frustrated in the battlefield, and Kangxi didn't say when he would return to the Ministry of War to work as an errand, and all his energy could only be spent on the school grounds and his wife and concubines.The imperial physician who asked Dafujin for a safe pulse specially prescribed Dafujin a prescription for anti-pregnancy, and urged Dafujin not to step out of his elder brother's step in the first three months. Concubine Hui probably thought "this baby may It's a boy", and Da Fujin was not allowed to walk around casually.

It wasn't until the Chinese New Year, when Dafujin's fetal image was firmly seated, that An He saw her.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Concubine Min gave birth to a royal daughter in Qixiang Palace, both mother and daughter were safe.On January 26, Concubine Wen also gave birth to an elder brother in Yongshou Palace.Kangxi also named the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang, the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen, and the younger elder brother from Concubine Wen Yinxu on the day when the dragon raised its head on the second day of February.Usually, the little elder brother is given a name when he is one year old. Maybe Kangxi valued this child with Hesheli's blood, so he broke this rule, but helplessly, the little elder brother fell ill due to illness She died, and Concubine Wen also fell ill.

"How's Concubine Wen going?" In March, it was the day of the primary election for the showgirls, and An He couldn't get away, so she had to ask Fei Qing to visit Concubine Wen on her behalf.

"Concubine Wen's health is very bad, and this servant looks like she's giving up on herself." Feiqing replied, "The imperial doctor said that Concubine Wen's condition is not serious, but that she is depressed and unable to let go. Apart from this Concubine Wen may not be able to help other people unless she thinks about it by herself, the emperor has visited it many times, but Concubine Wen is still the same."

Concubine Wen has been looking forward to this child for many years. In order to raise the baby with peace of mind, she even pushed away all the powers of assistants in the Sixth Palace, and only rested in the Yongshou Palace all day long. Unfortunately, the child still failed to keep.The Empress Dowager also sent Nanny Lu to persuade her, but Concubine Wen didn't seem to listen to her, and her ashamed look made An He feel a little ominous.

"Give me a change of clothes, I'll go to Yongshou Palace to see her." An He couldn't sit still, and quickly ordered, "Pick something with a plain color and not too many patterns."

"Yes."

Changing into a jade-colored cloak with emerald green leaves and cloud patterns, and a moon-white waistcoat with dark patterns on the outside, An He got into the sedan chair and headed for Yongshou Palace.As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Concubine Yi stepping out of the threshold, Concubine Yi shook her head at her, and said: "She is sad in her heart, she doesn't want or want to see people."

Qing Yi who sent Yi Concubine out also said: "Your Majesty, the master has said that even if the Emperor comes, he will not be there, and the servants will have nothing to do." Qing Yi is the big maid next to Concubine Wen, and she also looks sad when she sees her. Concubine Yi could only sigh and shake her head.

"Has your master's health not improved?" Concubine Wen didn't want to see anyone, so An He could only ask Qing Yi, "I asked someone to bring some wild ginseng, and let the imperial doctor see if it can be used."

"The slaves thanked the imperial concubine on behalf of the master." Qingyi said, "Master's body is just like this. He drinks three bowls of medicinal soup a day, but he still loses weight like that. The slaves are anxious, and the imperial doctors are helpless , the emperor has been here a few times, but afterward the master is not willing to see the emperor anymore."

"Bring me a word for your master." An He took a deep breath, "She doesn't want to think about herself, she always has to think about the sixth princess who is raised by her side, so she has the heart to leave the sixth princess helpless? "

"The servant will tell the master." Qingyi wiped away tears, and said softly, "The servant has to go back to serve the master to drink medicine, so I can't send the two ladies off."

"Why does she do this?" Concubine Yi sighed, "She doesn't want to accept our explanation, so let's go back."

An He glanced back at the gate of Yongshou Palace, and at some point a dark cloud floated over, covering the entire Yongshou Palace.
