Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Dynasty

Maybe it was An He's words that motivated Concubine Wen. When the show girl in May was re-elected, Concubine Wen was already able to get down to the ground and walk around with the support of others, but her body was still very weak.Batch after batch of high-quality medicinal materials were continuously sent to Yongshou Palace, and the empress dowager issued an order to waive Concubine Wen's greeting, giving enough time and space for Concubine Wen to rest in peace.

There are quite a few of the top girls in this year's draft with rich family backgrounds. The Guerjia family, Dong E family and Wu Ya family have all met before, and a few little girls can speak for themselves.Mongolia also has quite a few young women of the right age participating in the election this year, and the chirping is another different scene.

Da Fujin is pregnant, and the elder brother's two princesses are not to be favored. Although his heart is filled with sourness, Da Fujin still advises Concubine Hui that he wants to choose two concubines with good backgrounds for the elder brother to serve him; It's seven, it's time to start a family and start a business, Kangxi is still waiting to have a grandson; and the fourth elder brother, even if he doesn't choose a Fujin this year, he must choose Gege who is considerate and understanding.

"It's not that I'm here to bother the imperial concubine, but I always think that Yinzhen will have to choose a caring person to serve in the future." De Concubine hesitated for several days before coming to Anhe, "I'm too embarrassed to bother the empress dowager The cleanliness, I can only come to the imperial concubine to chatter a few words."

"You're too cautious. Brother Si was raised by the Empress Dowager herself, and the Empress Dowager remembers it all." An He said with a smile.Although he grew up in a Mongolian-speaking environment since he was a child, his Manchu and Chinese proficiency has improved rapidly since the fourth elder brother went to school, but his temper is really a little confused, and Debi is also worried about him. "Don't worry, the empress dowager told me that she would show Si elder brother in person, she will not treat Si elder brother badly, just wait for the good news."

"I am relieved to have the words of the imperial concubine." The concubine breathed a sigh of relief, "I made the imperial concubine laugh. Although Yinzhen has grown so big, I am still very worried."

"It's natural for a mother to be concerned about her children all her life, not to mention you, not to me." An He remembered that the Empress Dowager mentioned Ulanara, the daughter of the Minister of Internal Affairs, Fei Yanggu. I have the impression that she is a little girl with a stable personality, but it is a pity that she is not yet old enough to run for the election this year, so the empress dowager can only think about choosing a cute character for the fourth elder brother.An He felt that it was necessary to have a word with Debi first, "Just as you know, most of the good-born girls this year are still a little different from the fourth elder brother in age, and the fourth elder brother Fujin probably won't be picked out this year." .”

"I know this. I'll be satisfied if I pick someone who is well-behaved and smart to serve me first." Debi thought about it, and she had to pick someone who understands human affairs for Yinzhen. This matter must not be forgotten!

Not every showgirl who participates in the re-election has this opportunity to stay until the final selection day. The big selection in the palace is to choose girls with good temperament, good family background, and good manners, or they will be included in the harem as concubines, or they will marry elder brothers and princes If the minister's family sees someone playing tricks on others or not abiding by the palace rules, she will report directly to An He, Concubine Yi and Concubine Rong.

While the show girls were busy learning the rules, Da Fujin made a move at the elder brother's actions, and this time gave birth to a little princess.Da Fujin himself was desperate, and felt that he was destined to have a daughter. Concubine Hui and elder brother didn't show any joy on their faces. Looking at the three little princesses that elder brother walked around, they always felt that outsiders were there. Watch yourself laugh.

"Da Fujin was born prematurely and weak, let the imperial doctor take a good look at it." Hearing that Da Fujin had signs of bleeding after giving birth, An He ordered, "Let the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs hurry up and prepare for Xiao Gege's three baptisms."

"Yes." Jinxiu replied.

"I heard that elder brother was very unhappy, and Da Fujin cried too." After the Dragon Boat Festival, Pearl and Tourmaline were also promoted, and Aunt Wanyan was released home to enjoy the family happiness. Jinxiu and Feiqing were officially married. Become the aunt in charge, and the four maids took the position of first-class maids.Pearl brought hot tea to her, "Master ordered Tourmaline to deliver the packed gifts earlier, and Tourmaline said the same thing when she came back. The whole elder brother's misery has not added to Xiao Gege's joy at all."

"Concubine Hui and Eldest Brother both hoped that this baby would be a son, so how could they have thought that it would be a princess again." An He took a sip of tea, "I heard that Concubine Hui is now summoning beautiful women to see each other. You said you want to pick someone suitable for big brother?"

"That's right." Zhu Zhen replied, "I didn't call out the beautiful girls from families above the third rank, but they were all below the fifth rank. Concubine Hui lives in the Zhongcui Palace, so it's convenient to call the beautiful girls."

"Then let her do it." An He said, "Has there been any changes in Chuxiu Palace and Zhongcui Palace recently?"

"I haven't heard Nanny Fei mention it to Nanny Yang. She just said that everything is normal."

"Tell Nanny Fei and Nanny Yang to keep an eye on it," An He said again, "Most of these show girls this year are from famous families. If there is any friction, let someone come back to me."

"The slave will send a message to the two nuns."

Good spirits and bad spirits, just two days after An He gave orders, there was news from the Zhongcui Palace that two beautiful girls sneaked into the Royal Garden while the nanny in charge was not prepared.The two show girls are both from the Xianglan Banner of the Han Army. One's surname is Wei and the other's surname is Ma. They are both only 13 years old.It's not that they are not allowed to play in the Imperial Garden, it's just that there are rules in the palace that they are not allowed to walk around at will, just for fear of bumping into the nobles in the palace.Grandma Yang didn't dare to make a mistake, so she hurriedly came to report to An He, and dealt with it according to the rules, and the two girls were eventually sent out of the palace.

"That Wei family is the one that Concubine Hui showed Eldest Brother, and he was kicked out of the palace in just a few days. You didn't see how ugly Concubine Hui's face is." Concubine Yi scooped up a piece of honeydew melon and sent it inside. In his mouth, "But it's strange to say, I remember that on the first day when she entered the palace, Madam Yang issued repeated orders not to set foot in the imperial garden. Why are the Wei family and the Ma family so disobedient? Could it be someone It's a joke."

"Is it possible that someone has urged us to stop the investigation now? After all, it will be the day to click in two days." An He picked up a piece of watermelon with a silver pick and took a bite. Are you able to shake it?"

"That's true." Concubine Yi took a sip of the chilled plum juice, "I'm curious, you haven't summoned anyone to Qixiang Palace, don't you want to pick a good wife for your brother?"

"Sitting here, I can know their dispositions. Why bother calling them over again? Doesn't it make people think that I am selfish?" An He said with a smile, "I know it in my heart."

"Oh, who are you looking at?" Concubine Yi asked with a smile.

"I won't tell you, anyway, it all depends on the emperor's will." An He stroked the rim of the cup containing the sour plum soup. Now that Mingzhu and Suo'etu are competing more fiercely in the court, she is not at ease. A Ling'a picked a girl from a family in the capital, but Meng Junqi had a few girls from good backgrounds and good looks, and they would not be inferior to A Ling'a.She was just afraid that Bayara would not realize her painstaking efforts, after all, she was still thinking about Little Gege from Mingzhu's family.

Kangxi only accepted a newcomer, Mrs. Liu, without a canonization this year, and only treated her according to her usual status and let her live in the Yonghe Palace.The prince's marriage was finally settled, and the candidate for the crown prince was finally decided on the Guerjia family, the daughter of the third uncle Shi Wenbing. The family bestowed a marriage to Prince Jane's eldest son, Yarjan'a.In addition, Kangxi selected a Gege Guan family for the elder brother, Tian family, the daughter of the pen-style Dunda Li for the third elder brother, and a Gege Li family for the fourth elder brother.Mingzhu's youngest daughter, Yehenala, was finally married to Khalkha Mongol Taiji Daiqin, while Borzigit, a beautiful girl inlaid with a yellow flag in the Mongolian army, was given a marriage to Aling'a.

"I've seen Mrs. Borzigit before. She has a bright and generous temper, and she speaks in a well-organized way. I heard that she can play tricks well. Although she can't compare with the Yehenala family, who is the mother-in-law, she is still the emperor after all." meaning." Bayara did not enter the palace immediately after receiving the marriage proposal, but Guerjia came to Anhe to inquire about Borzigit's temperament.An He said, "This draft is mainly to select the suitable Fujin for the crown prince and the third elder brother, and to give marriages to the Eight Banners who are conquering Junggar. It is also his blessing that A Ling'a can still get the emperor's will without joining the army. "

"The slaves and maidservants that the empress is talking about understand, but I am afraid that the mother-in-law will not be very happy." Guarjia said, "Master Erlundai has been transferred to the commander of the Han army with a yellow banner, and he is no longer working as a guard. Listen to the master. The emperor intends to transfer A Ling'a back to the inner squad and be promoted to second-class bodyguard."

"Isn't that just right? Getting promoted and getting married is a beautiful thing in life. It depends on whether he can turn the corner." An He knew that A Ling'a's temperament had improved a lot over the years, so he told Fu Bao and the others When talking and meeting, he no longer put on a proud air, "I specially picked out a few decorations for him that symbolize auspiciousness and auspiciousness for a hundred years, and let Zhuang Hai put them in boxes and seal them. Carrying it to the car waiting outside your palace, it's my little sister's kindness."

"Your Majesty still has a good temper after all." Guerjia said with a slight smile, "This servant will congratulate Your Majesty today, and a concubine of Fu Bao's side, Mrs. Bo, was diagnosed yesterday as pregnant."

Although she was smiling, An He could see the loneliness on Guerjia's face.After all these years of marriage, the Guerjia family has been doing nothing, and now even Fu Baoxinna's concubine has been diagnosed with a happy pulse, and she feels even more uncomfortable.An He could only comfort her: "Don't think too much, it's all fate. Just take good care of that concubine if she can get pregnant."

"Your servant knows." Guarjia straightened her back, "When she gives birth to the master's child, I will promote her to be a concubine, and she must be rewarded for her meritorious service in childbearing." What she didn't say was that if Bai's concubine gave birth to a concubine, she would be a concubine. Forget it, if it was a son, she would definitely bring him to be raised by her, this is what her mother-in-law taught before going out.

"You can make up your own mind." An He said, "You and the fourth sibling should help in Ah Ling's marriage, so don't make Di Erniang too tired."

"Yes." Guarjia replied.
