Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Dynasty

An He picked up a pair of cloisonne inlaid red coral earrings and put them on, put on two sapphire bangles with auspicious cloud patterns on his wrists, adjusted the Longhua flower embroidered around his neck, put his hands on pearls in the sedan chair, and went to Ningshou Palace to go.It was still snowing outside, An He held the hand stove in his hand, his thoughts wandered around.At the end of the year, the turmoil of the previous court had gradually subsided, and Concubine Hui had "cured" before New Year's Eve, and she was able to walk around now.

Concubine Hui didn't get the job of hosting the draft this time, but it didn't hinder her planning for the elder brother and the eighth elder brother.Mingzhu's dismissal has already sounded the alarm for her, now she only wants to pick two concubines for her son to be productive, and she doesn't want to think about anything else, and she doesn't want her son to be involved in the matter of seizing the heir.She was stunned a while ago, thinking that her son still has the ability to fight, but now looking back, her behavior these days is simply courting death.And the eighth elder brother, although not her own, has been raised by her side for so many years, so he has to choose some considerate side rooms for him.

The empress dowager called An He and others to go over this time, probably because she wanted to tell An He about this.

"In this general election, apart from the addition of a few newcomers to the palace, the marriages of the elder brothers have to be closely watched." The empress dowager said, "The fifth elder brother, the sixth elder brother and the seventh elder brother all have to look at Fujin." Concubine Concubine, you are the biological mother of the sixth elder brother; Concubine Yi, you are the biological mother of the fifth elder brother, you have to watch carefully this time. There is also the daughter-in-law of the seventh elder brother, Concubine Rong, go talk to the concubine Cheng, you have to call As a mother-in-law, she knows."

"Yes." The four replied in unison.

"Speaking of which this year, we have to hold a big wedding for the fourth elder brother. I don't know what the emperor means, but you still want to add someone to the fourth elder brother?" Concubine Tong has been very favored in the past few months, so she chatted with Anhe and the others. I laughed before.She raised her hand and flicked the red ruby ​​ruby ​​on her head, "Yesterday, elder brother heard the news that Mrs. Song next to fourth elder brother was pregnant for more than a month, and now there are only 30 elder brothers left beside fourth elder brother." A Ge Ge Li family bestowed by the year."

The fourth elder brother was raised by the empress dowager, what Concubine Tong said naturally touched the empress dowager's heart.The fourth elder brother has now received an errand in the household department, and the wedding date with Ulanara is scheduled to be soon, but there are really fewer people serving him. In short, I am looking for two caring ones.

"I'll be watching this matter with Concubine De." The Empress Dowager said, "Also, Concubine Hui mentioned to me a while ago about choosing a concubine for the eighth elder brother. This matter should also be put on the agenda. The emperor said You don't need to look for someone from a rich family, but you just want to get along with Eighth Prince's temperament, and if you find a suitable candidate, come and tell me, and I will see the emperor again."

Even though he said so, Ke Anhe knew that Kangxi definitely didn't want other concubines to intervene in Eighth Prince's affairs.Smiling and echoing the empress dowager, he said peacefully: "Now we should also order the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to clean up the apse of Chuxiu Palace and Zhongcui Palace. Some places need to be repaired."

"I'll leave it to you to handle it." The Empress Dowager said, "It's still a little cold, so go back and drink more hot soup to warm your body."

"Although it is for the sixth elder brother to choose Fujin, but the sixth elder brother is only served by Ge Gelin, who is bestowed by the emperor, isn't the master planning to choose two more side rooms for the sixth elder brother?" Feiqing brought hot tea , and asked someone to serve two plates of fresh and hot snacks before saying, "I heard that this Lin family is not liked by the sixth elder brother, and I don't know why."

The Lin family next to Yinzuo was given by Kangxi directly when Anhe was in confinement. It is said that she is a slender woman with outstanding appearance.An He has always been reluctant for Yinxuan to know about the affairs of the room so early, after all, it is not good for the body to ejaculate the essence too early.But helplessly, early marriage and early pregnancy are practiced in this era. It doesn't matter if the child dies, it just needs to be supplemented by quantity, and Kangxi is one of the best.Fortunately, An He vaguely told Yin Zhe not to indulge in it too much, and Yin Zhe never liked delicate women, so he didn't call Mrs. Lin to sleep with him often.

An He shook his head lightly, and said, "The most important thing now is to look after Xiang Yinzuo's daughter-in-law."

The people below have sent up the roster of the show girls this time, and An He has already read it, and there are not many who are satisfied, and she guesses that Kangxi is not willing to marry a man from Manchuria who goes to the Three Banners and who is from Manchuria surnamed woman.Although Kangxi loves Yinxuan and Yin'e very much, the influence of Niu Hulu's family will eventually make him jealous.After thinking about it, it would be better to choose someone with a moderate family background and a gentle personality, even someone from the Mongolian Army Banner.Didn't the ten princes in history marry Fujin Mongolia?

"That's right, after all, Brother Six has already received an errand." Feiqing nodded in agreement.

After the primary election in March, a total of [-] show girls entered the secondary election.Because she wanted to choose Fujin for Yinzuo, An He paid more attention to these beautiful women than before. She has now taken a fancy to Qi Jia, the daughter of the cabinet scholar Erdenbu, and Xita, the daughter of Su Le, the servant of the Ministry of Rites. Lashi and Xilinjueluoshi, the daughter of Guozijian Jijiu Obai, just wait for people to carefully observe the nature of these girls before making a decision.

"Mistress Hui has summoned many girls to Zhongcui Palace, isn't the master impatient?" Jinxiu changed a candle, "The master has been watching these girls for a long time, and they are Concubine Yi The empress also sent someone to ask why the master hasn't moved yet."

"Don't worry, there's plenty of time." This group of beautiful women has only been in the palace for a few days, so they can observe how much their true nature is.An He planned to summon them to Qixiang Palace after they stayed in the palace for about half a month and told them to learn the rules. "Which girls did Concubine Hui summon?"

"Liu Jiashi, the daughter of Liu Wenhuan, the classic book of Taichang Temple, the Queen's clan of Dianyi Alpha, and the He clan, the daughter of He Guangxin, the governor of Guanglu Temple." Jinxiu replied, "None of them came from high-ranking families. Low-key and gentle. Concubine Tong is trying to recruit her cousin Hesheli to Chengqian Palace during this time, and vaguely heard that this is the candidate for Concubine Tong's younger brother."

My younger brother, isn't that Longkodo?In history, Longkodo was a well-known master who spoiled his concubines and killed his wives. If this girl really married Longkodo, she would have no place to cry in the future.An He raised the corners of his mouth and leaned against the big welcoming pillow behind him, and asked, "Is what you said true?"

"The servant girl just listened to the reports from the mothers of Chuxiu Palace, saying that there are rumors in Chuxiu Palace." Seeing that her master was very interested, Jinxiu said, "Could it be that the master has also taken a fancy to this girl?"

"That's not true." An He took a sip of tea, "It's just that this rumor hurt the girl's reputation after all, so I ordered the aunt in charge of Chuxiu Palace to stop this unhealthy trend quickly, otherwise the emperor should blame us Oversight is lacking.”

"Yes."

Qi Jia's appearance is beautiful, cheerful and lively, but within a few days, he became friends with a few beautiful women in the same room; Xi Tara's family is more reserved, but he has read poetry and books and looks very stable; Xilin Jue Luoshi is a little bit hidden, but the rules are very safe.An He also found out that the Xilin Jueluo family had a younger brother named Ertai, who was a famous veteran of the Three Dynasties and a confidant of Yongzheng Lord.It's just that looking at it now, Xilin Jueluo's family has not reached such a height, and many people are indifferent to Xilin Jueluo's family because of the tepid family background.

"Xitara's family is steady." An He heard Mother Wuku from Chuxiu Palace come to report, "I just heard that Xilinjueluo's family is very lonely and doesn't often walk with other beautiful girls?"

"It's not that I'm lonely, it's just that I'm quiet." Aunt Wuku replied, "Other beautiful girls will go to the Royal Garden for a walk when they have time, but this one is an exception. They prefer to hide in the room and read books alone. It's just that The servant girl watched, this beautiful girl speaks and behaves with restraint, and a beautiful girl from the Mongolian Army Banner asked for trouble before, but she blocked her back."

"It sounds good, let me watch carefully, and the palace will call you over in a few days."

An He winked, Shan Shan on one side stepped forward and handed a pouch to Madam Wuku, and said in a low voice, "Master gave this to Madam to drink tea."

Nanny Wuku is a fine person, so she will do things faithfully when she gets benefits.Squeezing the purse, seeing that he couldn't see it, he was even more happy.If the reward purse can be weighed, it probably won't be a good thing; if it can't be weighed, it might be a big surprise inside.After working as a nanny in charge for so many years in the palace, Nanny Wuku has already gained experience.It's good to do things for the imperial concubine, for example, the former Wei nobleman came to ask her, and after finishing the work, he gave her a bad jade bracelet, who has the time to deal with it.

After Aunt Wuku left, Jinxiu asked Shan Hu to bring An He's bird's nest today, while she pressed An He's shoulder and said, "Master, did you take a fancy to this Gege from Xilinjueluo's family?" The sacrificial wine is only from the fourth-rank official, is this kind of background too low?

"Of course not, I just asked a few more questions because I was curious." An He shook his head.Among the three girls, the one she likes the most is Sitara. She, Ama, is the servant of the Ministry of Rites, the second grade, and she is knowledgeable and talented.Kangxi once leaked the word that he might arrange Yinzheng to be an errand in the Ministry of Rites. If this is the case, the selection of Xi Tara family as Fujin will also help Yinzheng's official career in the future.The most important thing is that Ama of the Sitara family is a firm and pure minister, not biased towards Suo'etu or Nalan Mingzhu.

Now that the two factions are falling apart, it doesn't mean that they won't recover one day.Both Nalan Mingzhu and Suo'etu are people with real talents and hard work, otherwise Kangxi would not have reused them for so many years.As long as one person recovers, the other person will inevitably return, and one day they will return to the court, and then there will be another power struggle.Isn't that the so-called trade-off technique?
