The daily strike of the favored concubine [qing]

As soon as Mingzhu's words caught his ears, Tong Guowei suddenly turned his head, staring at the phoenix flag fluttering under the scorching sun, his complexion changed dramatically.

The imperial concubine is the same as the deputy empress, and she is responsible for the central palace. The ceremonial guards for travel are similar to those of the empress, the decorations are similar, and the regulations are not much different.

It's just that the imperial concubine is not the queen after all. The most obvious difference between the two is the phoenix flag on the guard of honor-the empress is a colorful phoenix, and the imperial concubine is a golden phoenix.

Not long after the current emperor ascended the throne, he re-divided the empress and concubine system, and the norms of Yiyu were also written into the "Hui Dian", which must be followed from top to bottom.

But now his eldest daughter, the imperial concubine who regained power in the palace, actually used Caifeng!

To put it mildly, this is the dereliction of duty of the servants at the bottom; to put it too big, it is the imperial concubine coveting the post, it is transgressing the rules, it is arrogance, it is treason!

The seriousness of this matter is exactly the same as that of the crown prince wearing a bright yellow dragon robe by mistake.

How could the imperial concubine make such a big mistake? !

Tong Guowei lost his words in shock, followed by his heart falling to the bottom.

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor and ministers enjoy together, and the concubines gather together.In such a lively place, everyone could see Feng Qi, even if they wanted to cover it up, they couldn't.

Tong Guowei's hands and feet were cold, and he looked around. As expected, the whispers became louder.

Mingzhu's expression was very ugly, she tugged on Tong Guowei's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "The imperial concubine is being tricked by someone! Send someone to remind me."

"Why didn't I know?" Tong Guowei shook his head, as if he had aged ten years, "It's too late, it's too late. They all saw it."

In the voice, I couldn't help being disheartened.

"That's true." Mingzhu murmured, her mind spinning rapidly, "There is still a remedy! Before the holy car arrives, let the imperial concubine order to remove the guard of honor and move it far away..."

Before the words were finished, suddenly the whip sounded, and the ceremony and music were played, and a voice came from a distance:

"The Emperor is here—"

As soon as Mingzhu's words stopped, Tong Guowei's complexion immediately turned gray, and it was over.

-

When the holy car was halfway, Liang Jiugong felt a little bit in his heart when he heard the slave's report.

Seeing the sight of Lord Long Live, he had no choice but to listen to him, and said softly: "Imperial concubine...a guard of honor..."

Guard of honor?Caifeng?

Recalling the rumors in the womb a few days ago, Kangxi still smiled, but his eyes turned cold.

With the shout of "The emperor is coming", when everyone shouted long live, outside the main hall, the imperial concubine held the hand of Zhenmao, led the concubines, and greeted them with smiles on their faces.

The imperial concubine was not feeling well, so she and Yunxiu took leave of absence and rested in Yongshou Palace.

Concubine De smiled gently, the curve of her mouth remained the same, Concubine Rong concealed the surprise in her heart, Concubine Hui muttered to herself, how did Concubine Huanggui become so radiant?

It's amazing.

Could it be that the emperor is really going to become queen?

"My concubine pays my respects to the emperor!" The imperial concubine blessed her body with great difficulty with her chubby belly, and looked at Kangxi with tenderness in her eyes, "The sun is too big, you must not sunbathe. Let the ministers and concubines take their seats."

Kangxi nodded, gently turned the jade finger in his hand, and stared at the imperial concubine for a long time, making her a little uneasy.

The imperial concubine thought over and over again, and smiled ashamedly: "Before, my concubine did many wrong things. When I was recuperating, I figured it out one by one. Both Concubine Yi and Concubine De are sisters of the same family. They serve the emperor wholeheartedly. Kindness is..."

Words and deeds have a gentle and virtuous taste.

Kangxi withdrew his smile, and after a long time, he hummed lightly.

It's another rumor about Li Hou, and it's Caifeng's guard of honor.If the country is established and governed by propriety, if it is publicized, the Qing Dynasty will be in chaos.

Regardless of whether Tong Jiashi did it on purpose or was tricked by others, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he would always give an explanation to the courtiers.

If someone plots against her, what face does the imperial concubine have to lead the Six Palaces?

If it is intentional...

There was a hint of hostility in Kangxi's eyes. Are she and the Tong family trying to force me to become queen?

Last time was Wanshou Festival, this time it is Dragon Boat Festival, good, very good.

Glancing at the high belly of the imperial concubine, the emperor finally suppressed his anger and sarcasm, and slowly took his seat.

……

It was clearly a feast of celebration, but the emperor was in a bad mood, and a sense of speechless stagnation quietly permeated.

Among the ministers here, which one is not a human being?Secretly guessing in my heart, you look at me and I look at you, and I keep silent.

Liang Jiugong grimaced, uncertain about the timing of the "banquet". Suddenly, Wang Yong, the left capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, got up and broke the silence.

"Your Majesty, it's a festive season, and I shouldn't talk too much. But in ancient times, there was the virtue of concubines, but now there is the "Hui Dian" of the Qing Dynasty. The imperial concubine Tong Jia used the colorful phoenix guard of honor beyond the rules, coveting the posthumous position, and violated the virtues." Rebellion, it is really disrespectful!" Wang Yong's upright voice resounded through the hall, "I want to impeach. For the sake of righteousness, I ask the emperor to severely punish..."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Tong Guowei shook his hands, his face turned livid in an instant, and he shot at Zuodu Yushi with sharp sword-like eyes.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is independent from the six ministries. It is as noble as the Imperial Academy and is full of admonishers.

Their duty is to impeach and admonish them. They are notoriously tough and fearless of power. Zuodu Censor Wang Yong is one of the best and won the trust of Kangxi.

Wang Yong is a pure minister, and no one will sell it. When he is stubborn, even the emperor dares to impeach him, so he is afraid of the imperial concubine in the deep palace?Although the imperial concubine is from the Tong family, she is the emperor's cousin.

Even for the Dragon Boat Festival, he still plays it right!

As soon as Wang Yong's words fell, there was an uproar in the banquet, the imperial concubine's fingers trembled, and her rosy face turned pale.

Concubine De covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and her smile became more and more gentle; on the courtier's side, the old god Suo'etu was stroking his long beard on the ground, and his eyes flashed with satisfaction.

After an unknown amount of time, Kangxi squinted his phoenix eyes, and said slowly: "You impeached...justified, but also unreasonable."

Wang Yong was stunned for a moment, then cupped his hands: "Minister, please listen carefully."

"I have never intended to be an empress, and that being the case, why did the imperial concubine covet the empress?" Kangxi smiled and nodded at Wang Yong, "However, the omission of the guard of honor is undeniable..."

Have no intention of standing up?

There is no intention of standing up!

The imperial concubine's mind was blank, her ears were buzzing, and she couldn't hear the words behind her.

The breath of support for her is gone!

-

Yikun Palace.

Yunxiu's belly got bigger and bigger, and his movements became much more cumbersome.Nanny Dong and Wen Yuanruizhu took good care of them all the time, for fear of any accidents. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they are facing a big enemy, and the grass and trees are all soldiers.

Now, she was wearing plain clothes and black hair, leaning on the couch looking at the fabrics, looking very casual.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs received Kangxi's order, and when Yunxiu was free today, he sent it to her for selection.

The leader, Xiao Lizi, is Liang Jiugong's direct apprentice, who runs errands in the Qing Palace, and is very attentive.

He smiled and said: "These brocades are all good materials brought in as tribute from the south. They are light and heat-dissipating. They are suitable for the upper body in summer. They are tailor-made for the empress and the little elder brother."

Yunxiu picked up the brocade, and smiled when she heard the words: "That's right! This one, this one... put them all in the warehouse."

Long before the Dragon Boat Festival, Yunxiu had someone set up the delivery room, and the midwives for the delivery were also fully arranged.

In the dream, she was pregnant in October and gave birth to Yinzhen successfully in the early autumn, but during the confinement period, the autumn tiger had not left, and the weather was sultry, so she suffered a lot.

For her own comfort, she specially tidied up a room in the air vent, which was much cooler than other places.

Not to mention the improvement of the production environment, now, the emperor sent cool cloth again.

Sending off Xiao Lizi, Yunxiu stroked her lower abdomen, smiled, and was about to praise Kangxi, at this moment, Ruizhu lifted the curtain and came in, with a rare eagerness on her face: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine has activated!"

Started?It's only been eight months, right?

It doesn't match the dream.

Yunxiu was taken aback for a moment, and said softly, "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival..."

Giving birth on the fifth day of May is not a good day for the imperial concubine.

Ruizhu thought of the news from the inquiry, and was still shocked, so she nodded: "It's the Dragon Boat Festival."

Then it was attached to Yunxiu's ear, and whispered a few words: "During the rice dumpling banquet, someone impeached the imperial concubine with a colorful phoenix guard of honor, coveting the throne... The emperor said that he had no intention of becoming an empress... The imperial concubine saw the red on the spot, Difficult childbirth!"

Yunxiu suppressed her astonishment, and after a while, sighed softly: "This is calculated."

Is it Concubine De, or someone else?

"I'm sick, so it's not suitable to go. You send the century-old ginseng plant in the warehouse." After pondering for a while, she ordered her left and right: "In troubled times, restrain our people. Wen Yuan, you go to the side hall, Tell Yun Shu to pay attention..."

The palace people all agreed, and became busy.

……

Pots of blood were brought out from Chengqian Palace, and the screams of the imperial concubine became weaker and weaker.

The Empress Dowager kept turning the beads, and the Empress Dowager looked in from time to time. Kangxi's face was sinking like water, and he was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.

The imperial concubine fainted on the spot and saw Hong, how could the rice dumpling banquet go on?It was messed up immediately.

This was the most chaotic Dragon Boat Festival since Kangxi came to the throne... He couldn't tell what mood he was in at this moment.

Suddenly stopped, the emperor sighed, called Liang Jiugong, and said in a low voice: "The imperial decree to be reduced to a noble concubine should be canceled. Don't draft it."

Liang Jiugong responded in a low voice, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Long Live Lord, the courtiers..."

The imperial concubine used the queen's ceremonial guard, but became famous because of dystocia, the emperor didn't want to care about it any more.That's all for the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Eight Banners clan, and the old scholars, will they be turned upside down?

And Han Chinese!The Han people pay the most attention to etiquette.

"This is my family matter." Kangxi rubbed the center of his brows, his face somber, "They make trouble as they go, and it stops soon."

Liang Jiugong bowed and agreed without saying a word.

From the high sun to the deep twilight, at the last moment when the child was approaching, finally, the imperial concubine gave birth to a little princess with difficulty.

Little Gege was covered in bruises, looked like a cat, cried weakly, and died within half an hour.

Hearing the bad news, the empress dowager, who had been sitting for a day, closed her eyes, and the empress dowager recited Amitabha.

Kangxi supported the back of the chair, and said in a hoarse voice, "Give me the name An Le, and bury her with the ceremony of Princess Gu Lun..."

Everyone was shocked, this is considered a great grace!

The imperial concubine was still in a coma, and the only one who could be in charge, Zhenmao, knelt down in tears and bowed to the ground: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

-

The imperial concubine had a hard time giving birth to a princess, and died within half an hour. As soon as the news came out, except for the distraught Tong family, and Mingzhu who was inexplicably regretful, no one felt sad for the rest of the important officials, including the concubines who were full of the harem.

Suo'etu breathed a sigh of relief. Apart from being happy, he didn't care about what happened to the little princess.

Buried with the ceremony of Gu Lun, and given the name of An Le, how can the princes and princesses who died in the past get this kind of treatment?

The courtiers were silent in unison, and there was rarely any objection, as if they had a tacit understanding, and let the Long Live Lord be willful for a while.

After all, the Tong family is the mother family of the emperor, and the imperial concubine is the emperor's cousin after all.At this time, if you come forward and say that the funeral is not in compliance with the rules, what is it if you are not looking for cuts?

Even Zuodu Censor Wang Yong fell silent.

The front is peaceful, but the harem is full of turmoil. The women who lost their children in the early years feel very uncomfortable.

It's a good thing that the imperial concubine didn't give birth to an elder brother, but why should she be treated like this?

Among the four concubines, Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong, and Concubine De all had children who died young.

Concubine Hui is fine, her grief has faded long ago; Concubine Rong has lost four elder brothers one after another, including the emperor's first son Chengrui!

Every time I think about it, it hurts my heart.

Concubine Rong has always kept a low profile, chanted Buddha all day long, and was not prone to disputes with others, but she still dropped several sets of tea sets, and she hated the bedridden imperial concubine.

"Chengrui of my palace, Saiyin Chahun...doesn't even have a posthumous title, and what about her? It's just a girl's film, why?!"

Concubine De's mood was exactly the same as Concubine Rong's.

Thinking of the little Gege who died young, Concubine De's chest heaved and she quickly calmed down.

"Does Tong Jia look like a madman?" She lowered her eyes and asked softly.

Mother Wu said in a low voice: "I heard that the lochia hasn't stopped, and I've been crying 'little elder brother' all day long...Long live God strictly ordered the imperial concubine to rest, then took over the palace power, and sent an imperial doctor to watch over you all the time. on."

——It’s no different from a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out.

Concubine De was very happy in her heart, she smiled naturally, and then thought of another person: "Where is Yinzhen? How is it in the Palace of Compassion?"

Nanny Wu paused: "The fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother had a great time, and together with the crown prince, the three of them often go to Yikun Palace."

Concubine De was startled, her smile gradually faded, and finally disappeared.

Why did the prince go?

It's not because the emperor dotes on Guo Luoluo's family!

Don't say anything when you come to the door every day, even if you are busy with political affairs, you don't forget to give rewards, whether it is cloth or jewelry.

... The emperor's private treasury is likely to be emptied.

"Concubine Yi is going to give birth soon?" She said calmly, "Always pay attention to the other end, don't miss any news."

-

In addition to dealing with the emperor who was getting more and more wrong, Yunxiu raised her baby in Yikun Palace with peace of mind. She lived in seclusion and didn't get involved in other affairs. Soon, the days passed by.

In a blink of an eye, it was August 27th.

When she got up early, Yunxiu seemed to feel something, and gently put her hand on her lower abdomen, feeling the fetal movement from time to time, with a faint smile on her face.

After eating a rich breakfast, there was a slight pain in the stomach, and gradually, the pain intensified and suddenly spread throughout the body.

"Go to the delivery room, I'm about to give birth..." She called out in a low voice.

Yikun Palace fell into a panic in an instant.

Mother Dong couldn't help being nervous, but she still kept calm, and ordered in an orderly manner: "Zhang Youde, go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to report to the ancestors and the queen mother...you go to the Palace of Qianqing to report to the Long Live God... Where is the midwife? Quickly check carefully, Don't bring dirty things in..."

Wen Yuan supported Yunxiu, and said incessantly, "Your Majesty, pay attention to your feet..."

Just at this time, an unremarkable little eunuch hurried in, saw Ruizhu as if seeing a savior, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Rui Zhu's face suddenly turned pale, and she opened her mouth, how could it be?

She gritted her teeth, determined to hide it from her master, but Madam Dong noticed the movement here, and asked sharply, "What happened?"

Yunxiu had a bad premonition, turned her head to look straight, and heard Ruizhu's voice said: "People from Ningshou Palace came to report that the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother had a dispute...the fifth elder brother fell into the water ..."

Yunxiu's heart skipped a beat suddenly, his mind became dizzy for a moment, and then his body became wet.

Amniotic fluid broke!

Severe pain swept over her, and she had no time to think about anything else. She lay on the bed and firmly grasped Wen Yuan's hand: "Look for the imperial doctor quickly... Yin Qi can't do anything..."

With tears in her eyes, Wen Yuan nodded heavily.

-

Yinzhen felt dizzy and dizzy, as if soaking in a hot spring, his whole body was warm and warm.

what?Grandpa is not dead yet?

The fourth child was so cold, he was really cold, he was not even assigned an imperial doctor in prison, and he was dragged to death abruptly.

Thinking of him as the Ninth Master, he went so uselessly... I don't know how sad Fifth Brother will be, and how sad Emiang will be.

Just as he was grieving, suddenly, a strong force hit him, and before he had time to react, he left the reassuring "hot spring".

All of a sudden, his whole body felt cold, and when his breathing became smoother, Yinzhen couldn't help but burst into tears!

While crying, I realized something was wrong.

Why does this body look so much like a newborn baby?

He... did it all over again?

Immediately afterwards, a vague congratulatory sound came from my ear: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, you are a healthy little brother!"

After a while, a familiar voice mixed with tiredness sounded pleasantly: "...not a healthy little brother, but a debt-collecting little brother."

Yinzhen was completely stunned.

Mother? !

Accompanied by bursts of ecstasy, emotions such as excitement, grievance, and grief surged into his heart, Yinzhen waved his little hands and cried loudly: "Wow————"
