Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Dynasty

The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs can't bear to be taught a lesson. These people are the ones who come and go in lucrative positions, and the servants below are naturally seeking benefits for themselves from other places.Lady Wei was just a concubine in the past, and with such a background, the emperor fell out of favor after being favored for a period of time, and even the elder brother who was born was taken away as soon as he landed, and the mother and son were not allowed to see each other more.Those people would look at her, and when they knew that Wei Shi hadn't returned to favor, they naturally had the idea of ​​her monthly schedule.

In fact, it's not just the greed of the subordinate servants, but also the abuse secretly ordered by other harem women.Wei Shi never said anything, and these years he has always complained of illness and rarely attended family banquets or paid his respects to the Empress Dowager.Not to mention others, even An He had to admit that he had been negligent.

"I heard that you disposed of an eunuch next to Lao Ba?" Kangxi rarely left Wang Changzai to sit here with Concubine Liu Shu, and asked after taking a sip of tea.

"Speaking of which, it's also the servant's fault. I didn't know that there was another slave in the palace who withheld the master's status." An He replied slowly, "I went to Concubine Rong that day to celebrate Princess Rongxian's big wedding. I went for a walk in the Imperial Garden to relax, but I didn’t expect to see Eighth Brother. Eighth Brother said that Mr. Wei had a chronic cough and wanted to eat sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus made in the small kitchen, so he came to pick it for Mr. Wei himself when school was over But the servant girl saw the little eunuch next to him bring the meal, which was completely different from what the servant girl remembered. After asking, I found out that the servant next to the eighth elder brother actually ate the eighth elder brother's meal. The eighth elder brother is thin and weak , presumably it is also because of the negligence of these slaves. Since the slaves have gained the trust of the empress dowager and the emperor to manage the affairs of the harem, they can't just watch these slaves oppress the master, after all, the eighth elder brother is still the son of the emperor."

"They are all people who can't remember their lessons!" No matter how much Kangxi doesn't like Mrs. Wei, she is the emperor's woman, and the eighth elder brother is even the royal elder brother. Can you tolerate those people doing whatever they want?Thinking of Concubine Liu Shu who had been whispering in his ears these past few days that the noble concubine was acting as her substitute, Kangxi felt a little greasy again, and not long after he entered the palace, he chewed his tongue in front of him, and he didn't know who had instructed him. "You've done a good job on this matter. It's necessary to sort out what elder brother said."

"It's not just my elder brother's." An He brought a fruit plate, "Your Wei is just suffering from a cough, why hasn't he recovered for so long? Doesn't the emperor think there is something strange about it?"

In the palace, the phenomenon of pushing up and stepping down happened from time to time. Kangxi rubbed the white jade wrench in his hand, but didn't say anything.In his heart, the existence of Noble Wei is the most powerful evidence that he was "bewitched by female sex" back then, and he wished that this evidence would disappear in the harem.It's not that he doesn't understand what An He said, it's just that he doesn't intend to vent his anger on Mrs. Wei.

An He glanced at Kangxi, the ten years of getting along with her had already developed her ability to observe words and deeds, knowing that the matter of Mrs. Wei might turn into a trivial matter in the end, she could only sigh secretly in her heart.

"Your Majesty Wei, I'll let Concubine Hui watch more, after all, it's her Zhongcui palace's affairs." Kangxi said, "You don't have to ask about her affairs anymore."

"Yes." An He said with a light smile.Love is the life of desire, and evil is the death of desire. Those women who have given their whole heart will only see Kangxi's gentle side to them forever, but they cannot see Kangxi's cold side.

A group of minions who were pocketed by elder brother were pulled out, and the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs lost his job because of this. A large number of related coating families were demoted to crimes and sent to the Huanyi Bureau and Xinzheku to do hard labor. A profound lesson for these people.But everyone understands that as long as it is profitable, these coating families are centipedes who are dead but not stiff.But at this time, Kangxi didn't have time to talk to them any more. After four months of quarreling, the Ministry of Rituals finally drew up a rough draft of the rules for the prince's wedding.Although the follow-up needs to be revised, some things should be prepared.

Yan Zhu's letter quickly spread to the capital, and at the same time, news of Shi Wenbing's malaria infection was also transmitted back to Beijing.Fortunately, there are many Western missionaries in Fujian who brought Shi Wenbing a drug called Cinchona Cream, which can effectively treat malaria.Kangxi also didn't want his father-in-law to die of illness before his son's wedding, so he quickly transferred Shi Wenbing back to the capital to continue serving as the commander of the Zhengbai Banner Han Army.

"This malaria is very terrible. I remember that there was an outbreak of this disease in Shengjing back then, and many people lost their lives because of it." Bixi still feels lingering fear when she recalls it now. I'm afraid I'll die from that malaria too."

"Don't gossip about these unlucky things. It's good that Master Shi Wenbing can return to Beijing safely to recuperate." Amber said, "I heard that the crown prince has dragged all the people from the Taiyuan Hospital to Yuqing Palace to give them instructions, just for the sake of their recovery. Master Shi Wenbing can recuperate as soon as possible after he returns to Beijing. Master, just now, the slave and servant have heard the news that Da Fujin is pregnant again, and now she has been pregnant for more than a month."

Not to mention Ann and himself, even the other people who were serving were also taken aback.Da Fujin conceived again in less than four months after she was confinement, did the elder brother really not listen to what the imperial physician said?In less than five years of marriage, Da Fujin gave birth to three princesses, and even the best foundation would be destroyed if it could not be recuperated in time.

"What did the imperial doctor say?" An He frowned.When Dafu Jin gave birth to Ergege and Sangege, there were already signs of bleeding, and it is unknown whether this baby can be kept.It's not that the emperor didn't reward the concubine, why is the elder brother so persistent in giving birth to a son-in-law first?

"The imperial doctor said that the month is still early, so I can't see it yet." Hu Po replaced An He with a new hand stove, "Probably because of experience, Da Fujin is busy raising her baby in the house now, and she refuses to step on it for half a step." I'm out of my brother's place."

There was already a heavy snowfall in the capital in November, An He smoothed out the creases on the clothes that appeared because of sitting down, and then said: "Let someone take good care of Da Fujin, let Da Fujin take care of what to eat and what to use. Just go get it. The Tai Hospital also told me that Da Fujin and the child in her womb are safe and sound." An He knew that this was actually a bit difficult, but since Da Fujin was pregnant, no matter it was Kangxi , Concubine Hui is still the eldest brother, and they are probably looking forward to this child being a son.If the people in the Tai Hospital don't take good care of Da Fujin, the black hat on his head may not be able to keep.

"I heard that the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital are all grey-headed now, and have already drawn up no less than ten prescriptions, just waiting to see if Dafujin will be used in the future." Hu Po said, "It's just that Dafujin's body is very weak now. , I’m afraid that I won’t be able to give birth to full term.”

An He sighed and shook his head lightly.

At the end of November, Kangxi once again made an "astonishing move", marrying Ulanara, the daughter of the Minister of Internal Affairs, Fei Yanggu, to the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, and marrying the granddaughter of Prince An, Yue Le, and the daughter of He Shuo's son-in-law, Eshang. The Guo Luoluo family bestowed a marriage on the eighth elder brother Yinhu.Fei Yanggu used to lead the Qing army in the southern and northern wars, but in recent years, old injuries relapsed and he had to leave the army to take up the job of the minister of the interior, but he was also a well-known family; Relegated to the king of Anjun, his granddaughter Ama was questioned and beheaded for corruption. Kangxi's move made people a little confused.But more people still think that Kangxi is aiming to improve the status of the eighth elder brother. After all, although Yue Le lost his title and posthumous title due to crimes, Yue Le's lineage is still high in power.

"Being married in the same line as King Anjun can be regarded as the luck of the eighth elder brother." Now the person who inherits the title is Yue Le's No. 15 son Ma Erhun. Human affairs.Holding a cup of hot tea, Concubine Yi said, "Concubine Hui should be happy again these days. I heard that Concubine Hui has become more active with elder brother after the marriage. She picked out all the winter clothes, boots, and four treasures of the study and sent them to elder brother's place." , as if the person who treated Eighth Brother coldly before was not her."

"If Concubine Hui can recover, she will be able to draw all the lineage of King An to Eldest Brother. How could she just let this opportunity go when she has such a power for no reason?" An He held the stove in his hand, The fingertips traced the pattern on the outside, "It's not bad for her to treat the eighth elder brother, but compared to the eldest elder brother, this adopted son is not really a character."

"That Guo Luoluo family is said to have a hot temper, and has always been arrogant and indulgent." Concubine Yi came over and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you meet that girl before, how do you feel?"

"It all happened four years ago, how can I remember so much?" An He said with a smile, "In my memory is a girl who speaks brightly, but she is too young to see anything for the time being. Even if she is married now, She is only an eight or nine-year-old girl, and it will be many years before she gets married."

"That's right." Concubine Yi sighed, "I just went to Concubine Rong's place to pick cards yesterday, and after listening to her talking about Princess Rongxian and the marriage of the third elder brother, I feel in a daze that it will be Yinqi's turn in a few years. I got married, so many years have passed in a blink of an eye. To tell you the truth, I'm already thinking about choosing a lovely personality for Yinqi."

This Ge Ge is different from Big Ge Ge. The "Ge Ge" mentioned by Yi Fei refers to a court lady who specially guides Elder Brother to know about men and women. Generally, she will stay with Elder Brother in the future as a concubine. If you are lucky, you can give birth to a son and a half daughter If the elder brother is favored, the elder brother can also decide to be promoted to Shu Fujin or be appointed as a side Fujin. Of course, this can only be done after the elder brothers divide the mansion.

"How old is Fifth Brother, are you in such a hurry?" An He joked with a smile.

"The concubine De has already picked a court lady, Mrs. Song, for the fourth elder brother to send to the elder brother. When the crown prince was less than 12 years old, there were two princesses by his side. It's not too early for me." Concubine Yi said, " Don't talk about me, Brother Liu will be 12 years old next year, so you have to take this matter to heart."

Sending a woman to a 12-year-old son?An He felt goosebumps just thinking about it. A 12-year-old can only be regarded as a boy, so how much benefit will the premature ejaculation have on the body?An He frowned, intending to quietly move this matter back, at least not in her plan for next year.

After deciding on the marriage of the two sons, in December, Kangxi named the third princess as Princess Heshuo Duanjing, referring to the marriage to Garzang, the king of Duling County in Karakin, who is scheduled to marry in August next year.If it is said that the marriage between Princess Chunxi and Princess Rongxian brought Kangxi’s thinking as a father to some extent, then Princess Duanjing’s marriage is a political marriage through and through. decisions made.

Although Mrs. Zhaojia always had a faint smile on her face, she also knew in her heart that her daughter was far less favored than Princess Rongxian, and she had developed a quiet and slightly dull personality. After marrying far away in Harqin, would she be able to get a favor? It's also hard to predict the concubine's favor.But even so, she still took out all the private houses she had accumulated for many years, and wanted to give her daughter a generous dowry.
