Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Dynasty

The palace was very lively in August. Chen Changzai added an elder brother to Kangxi. The crown princess, Sanfujin and Sifujin gave birth safely in the same month. The elder brother had a second son, and Si Fujin also gave birth to the eldest son for the fourth elder brother.In addition, Wu Fujin and Qibian Fujin were also diagnosed to be pregnant for more than one month, and Liu Fujin whose fetus was three months old, the palace was always filled with a festive atmosphere.

In September, the four princesses born by Guo Guiren were registered as Princess Heshuo, referring to marry Dundobdorji, the king of Khalkha County, and they are scheduled to marry in the spring of next year.It's just that although she was Princess Heshuo, Kangxi didn't give her the title immediately, which made Guo Guiren and the fourth princess very wronged, and even brought Concubine Yi to complain a few words in front of Anhe.

"I heard that the news of Junggar's gathering of rebels came from Mongolia again, so the emperor ordered the marriage in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to decide on the title of the fourth princess." An He comforted, "Wait until the battle in Junggar is over, The emperor will give the fourth princess a nice title, so don't complain too much, carefully spread it to the emperor's ears and make the emperor angry." Kangxi is the most stingy person, and he has always been the only one who bullies others, but others can't complain too much , otherwise it is disrespectful.

"Of course I know, but I feel bad after all. I watched Xiaosi grow up. She is stubborn and extreme. Now I'm afraid that I will hate the emperor from the bottom of my heart." Concubine Yi said, "Not only her, but also It's the same with my younger sister. The emperor came to see her in the past few days, but she coldly persuaded her to leave."

"Guo Guiren's temperament is still so straightforward, there is nothing to be ashamed of, the emotions are written on his face." Presumably Kangxi himself knew that he was wrong, so he went to sit with Guo Guiren, but he didn't expect Guo Guiren to not like him. set.That's right, Guo Guiren has only one daughter in her life, so she naturally hopes that she will marry in a good manner, especially the first three married princesses were all given titles at the first finger of marriage. It was Xiao Shiyi who encountered such a thing, and An and himself felt unforgivably angry.

"The Khalkha tribe is located in Mobei Mongolia, not far from Moxi Mongolia where Junggar is located. At this time, it is not a long-term stable solution for Xiaosi to marry. Fortunately, the emperor has considered it carefully and asked the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to return I chose a place with a good geomantic omen to build the Princess Mansion, otherwise it would be even more worrying." Yifei sighed, "The decree has been made, no matter how tangled I am, it won't help, I can only prepare for Xiaosi to add makeup. , can’t lose to the first three princesses.”

"Princess Heshuo's grade is placed there, and the dowry must be quite a lot. You and Guo Guiren have always cared about the fourth princess. This time, just add more jewelry and money at the bottom of the box. I have someone prepare a set here. The gold-studded ruby ​​head, and a few bolts of high-quality Suzhou embroidery and Guangxi embroidery satin were sent back from the south by my second brother, and you can take it back to the fourth princess as a token of my kindness." After finishing speaking, An He went Let Coral take out the gift she prepared.

"You're willing to give up such a good material to the Eleventh Princess." Concubine Yi was not ambiguous and hypocritical, and asked someone to accept the gift from Shan Hu, but she joked.

"Why do children use such good materials? Let's talk about it when they are older." An He said, "By the way, I haven't been out much these days, but I heard that Concubine Niu Hulu and Guerjia Is your lord having a conflict?"

"It's not that concubine Niu Hulu is unreasonable. She has no rank and is jealous that nobleman Guerjia won the favor as soon as she entered the palace, so she wanted to slap nobleman Guerjia. Now the emperor grounds her, and the rules have changed The nobleman has been reduced to permanent residence, and she is required to copy the palace rules five hundred times, and order Xi concubine to check it every day."

An He smiled mockingly, the nobleman Guerjia was in the limelight in the harem, now Niu Hulu's family will find it difficult to regain favor no matter how clever they are.

At the beginning of October, a sedan chair was carried and Wang was sent to elder brother's house.Yin'e's Nazai ceremony was not very big, because the previous dynasty had already ordered to send troops to conquer Junggar in the middle of the month, and except for the prince, other elder brothers who were as old as 15 years old would follow the expedition, so Yin'e himself also treated Nazai as well. I didn't pay much attention to it, and I was thinking about going to battle to kill the enemy.Fortunately, Wang's temperament is gentle and doesn't like to talk too much. After observing her for a while, An He saw that she had been keeping her own place, and then asked Feiqing to send her a pair of rich and noble Double Happiness Silver Bu Yao.

Prince Yu is Kangxi's older brother, and his age has made it difficult for him to lead an army alone.Prince Gong was abandoned by Kangxi for unknown reasons since the last battle against Junggar. This time, he didn’t even get the position of deputy commander. Now the army is led by Fei Yanggu, and the elder brothers who followed the expedition can only obey Fei Yangcourt's arrangement.

Having had the experience of the last time, An He was not so worried about Yinzuo and Yin'e's expedition this time.Not to mention that Fei Yanggu would not let some delicate and expensive elder brothers go to the place where the war was the most serious, and the soldiers sent by Kangxi to his son were not covered. Not even a single finger.

Helmets, armor, gold sore medicine, and the Kinney cream that Yan Zhu bought from Fujian, and after Feiqing packed up two identical copies and sent them to Yinxuan and Yin'e, An He came to the offering with the Buddhist beads Burning incense and chanting sutras in front of the Buddha statue, praying to the Buddha to bless his two sons as usual.As for the news that Kangxi is going to follow the expedition, it can no longer cause any ripples in Anhe's heart.

In mid-October, the army set out.An He is a woman in the harem, so she can't go to the gate of the palace to see off her two sons in person; the month of Sitara's family is heavy, so it's inconvenient to come and accompany An He often.Both Xilinjueluo and Wang have to take care of elder brother's affairs, even if they want to show their faces in front of An He, they are powerless. Fortunately, Xiao Shiyi is close to An He, knowing that his mother is worried about his two elder brothers, so he abandons the usual high school. Looking cold, he acted like a baby in front of An He, which finally diverted part of An He's attention.

But not long after the news came that Kangxi was injured by random arrows, the entire harem was shaken.Kangxi was stationed in the rear to direct the battle, so how could he be injured? Could it be that the Junggar soldiers had already broken through the front line? !This thought made An He shudder. If this is the case, wouldn't the people fighting on the front line...

The harem concubines are anxious, the empress dowager and the prince are even more anxious.But at this time, Suo'etu was still restless, so he sent a message to the prince to propose the idea of ​​closing the Nine Gates again, but the prince severely punished him, and the person who sent the message was even detained in the prison of the Ministry of punishment.It wasn't until Kangxi was escorted back to Beijing by the guards that everyone knew what happened.It turned out that Kangxi himself couldn't bear it and wanted to go to the front to kill the enemy himself, but was discovered by the opponent's archer, so he took an arrow.

"The emperor is really messing around!" In the end, it was the empress dowager who spoke out what everyone was thinking.

After Kangxi returned to Beijing, all the concubines were going to serve Ji. An He knew that his old face would definitely hinder Kangxi's eyes, so he simply stopped appearing in the Qianqing Palace except for the time when he was serving Ji, and told the new favorites in the harem to be themselves. fight to go.Without the "elbow" of Kangxi as the target, Fei Yanggu could finally order a face-to-face fight with Galdan.Naturally, the strong and powerful Qing army was not something that the Junggar tribe could fight against. After so many years of war, the Junggar tribe had been seriously injured. A large part of the soldiers who went out this time were old and frail.

Galdan was defeated and fled with his soldiers and children. Fei Yanggu sent people to chase him and reported the good news to Kangxi, but he didn't expect that a big move was brewing in the capital—Kangxi was diagnosed with malaria!

I thought it was just a fever caused by the wound, but I didn't expect that in the middle of the night when the nobleman Nala was sick, he found that Kangxi was hot and cold. After calling the imperial doctor, he found that it was not so simple.The concubines who had served Kangxi had to be isolated, and everyone had to take medicine to prevent the disease. The whole harem was panicked for a while, for fear that they would not see the sun the next day.The prince made a decisive decision and ordered some clean palaces to come out, settled the prince Fujin, young children and unmarried princesses, and sent the imperial physician to these palaces every day to fumigate medicine just in case.

An He still had a few quinine pills in her hand, but after hesitating for a while, she still had no intention of offering them.After drinking the sedative medicine sent by the imperial physician, An He stretched out his hand to caress the lines on the incense burner, lowering his eyes slightly.Kangxi's condition has been brought under control now, and it's not time for him to take Cinchona Cream, and he doesn't know what others will think when he is about to be sent, especially her two sons are still on the battlefield.

"Master, Aunt Jinxiu has sent word that everything is fine in Liufujin, please don't worry, master." Hu Po put on a women's cloak for An He, "The harem is very busy right now, master hasn't slept well for several nights, why don't you worry about it while you sleep?" Let's take a nap now when you are relaxed. The prince is already watching the affairs of the Qing Palace, and will report back to the master as soon as there is news."

"I'm not tired, is Little Eleven asleep yet?" An He withdrew her hand, her fingers were a little red from the hot incense burner, "I can't take care of Yinxuan's daughter-in-law right now, so I told Jinxiu to watch over her. Don't tell her to move her fetus again." After the news spread that Kangxi had contracted malaria, Liu Fujin was really frightened, but fortunately, the doctor Wang said that although her fetus was moved, it was not serious, as long as she rested, she could even conceive There is no need to take medicine.

"The princess has already fallen asleep after taking the medicine. Aunt Jinxiu knows about it even if she doesn't need to be told by the master." Hu Po said softly, "Nowadays, people in the palace are in panic, and the master is worried about the emperor's condition and also has to worry about fighting the enemy on the front line. Sixth elder brother and tenth elder brother have trouble sleeping and eating for the past few days, aren't they afraid of ruining their bodies? It's better for the slaves to help the master to lie down for a while, even if they don't sleep and close their eyes to rest."

"Well, I can't tell you from left to right." An He didn't know that the bruises under her eyes were scary, but every time she fell asleep, she would have nightmares again and again, and those dreams that she couldn't remember after waking up made her very uneasy. In the past few days, it was only by the tranquilizing medicine prescribed by the imperial physician that he could barely sleep for two or three hours.

Fortunately, there is no such thing as a relentless path. Just after Fei Yanggu once again told Galdan to commit suicide by taking poison and his children returned to the Qing Dynasty, Ama Shi Wenbing, the concubine of the crown prince, also promptly delivered the medicine he had taken when he was suffering from malaria. , Kangxi's condition gradually improved under the daily nurturing.But everyone, including the prince, didn't know that this injury and illness had already planted a deep root of disease in Kangxi's body. If there was any more stimulation, the root of the disease would erupt at any time, and the consequences would be disastrous.

In addition, after thinking about it, I decided to ask Kangxi to receive the lunch after Yin'e got married, otherwise Yin'e would have to keep filial piety for three years.
