The old man in the imperial city

The most embarrassing thing for Mrs. Borzigit was that after returning to the mansion, the prince, who had not shown up for a long time, walked into her yard, sat down to receive the tea, and then directly asked how the imperial concubine was doing at the palace banquet.

Borzigit forgot the teachings of the queen mother and the ninja knife to please men. She burst into tears and cried in a hissed voice: "Do you only remember that woman who doesn't obey women's morals? Do you know what she said to my concubine tonight?"

After Cian Fujin finished crying and telling the answer in her memory, Prince Xiang had already thrown a teacup with hot water over his head: "You said that people are jealous, why don't you first see what kind of virtue you are! You mean that back then Fujin begged the Queen Mother When you entered the door, did you know that you would force her to death, and let her seize the opportunity to feign death and escape? Or do you want to tell the master that you and Fujin had colluded long ago, and you made a bunch of things to make Fujin happy? "

Borzigit was speechless and could not stop crying.

She really understood that men are all alike.When I hated her, I wished that she would die without a burial place, and that any evil form of love could be misinterpreted as good, so painful that she had no choice but to do so.None of them were wrong, what was wrong was the female servant who made them go wrong.

Fang Fujin, who came from Mongolia in Prince Xiang's Mansion, hadn't been out of the courtyard for a whole year, one serious illness after another.The prince didn't go to see her again, he was very kind to Kong Fang Fujin, and he also loved the elder brother who had just been added to the mansion.

The queen mother in the palace knew that she might have to send another niece away. She could not blame the emperor for this fate. He treats her like a shoe, life and death have nothing to do with him.

After the fifth elder brother was born, Yinhu's harem and previous dynasty had become a floating cloud in Yinhu's heart, and it was not worth bothering to disperse when the wind blows.Recently, he has devoted all his energy to raising his son, and he doesn't know when it will be.

Yinzhen complained a few times, true and false, about his younger brother not being a wife, but Yinhu didn't even stand up to clean up his stigma.

Because Yinhu was so obsessed with the fifth elder brother, Yinzhen couldn't enjoy the intimacy of getting up early in the morning for several days in a row, and finally became furious: "What do the nurses do? The fifth elder brother woke up early in the morning, right?" I also want to get up and wait for him to breastfeed?"

Yinhu was angry: "What are you doing so loudly? You scared your son."

Yinzhen was even angrier: "Where is there a mother who raises her own son? It's not that there are no mothers and maids, even a decent family would not do this! When the time comes, you will be happy to raise a child who has no ambitions?"

The people of Chengqian Palace are all embarrassing, the fifth elder brother has just passed a hundred days, okay?Now that you say you have no ambitions, should all the minions be silenced?

Yinhu was also annoyed, hugged his son and walked into the inner room: "What's the point of giving birth but not raising it? You were the one who gave birth, and you are not allowed to raise it now. What is the difference between you and that one? Anyway, that one still has something in his heart." My dear son, the emperor pours a bowl of water so that no one wants to see it."

After hearing this, Yinzhen came back to his senses, and stopped hanging the court beads on his court clothes, and followed in a few steps: "I just want to see you alone, isn't it okay? Naturally, I love Mu Ningqi, you see, no matter what No matter how late I am, I will spare time to talk and study with him, right? But Mu Ningqi is already a hundred days old, and you still don’t come back to help me, so it’s not easy for me to wake up early and stay late at night.”

Yinhu was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Wherever we went when we were young, we were only accompanied by the nanny, and even the concubine mother was not often seen there. I can't bear the fifth elder brother who is so young."

Yinzhen was defeated all of a sudden, he realized that Lao Ba didn't just plan to take care of his good mother and concubine in this life, he planned to be another good concubine by himself?He really didn't intend to give up a brother in arms for a son.

The emperor's sorrow only lasted for a few days, and soon Yinzhen came up with a solution: To deal with a baby boy, it is best to use another baby boy, I don't bother to fight for favor!

I want a girl so badly that I'm about to be insane.

It’s good that the Empress Dowager is in the spring and talking about the general election, she used the excuse of wanting to see the fifth elder brother summon the imperial concubine for several days, implying that the daughter-in-law of the Tian family should not forget her roots even if she is favored, and that she should make arrangements for the emperor to spread the branches and leaves for the clan.

Although Yinhu said that she was not a real woman and would be jealous, she also felt that this matter must be settled with Yinzhen.

In the evening, when Yinzhen went back to Chengqian Palace, he saw Yinhu absent-mindedly helping the fifth elder brother to turn over and play. .

Yinhu was a little distracted.

Yinzhen noticed it, so he asked, "Did you go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning today? What did the old ancestor say to make you so distracted?"

Yinhu asked people to carry the fifth elder brother down, honestly explained the whole story, and finally said: "It is not a good omen that the royal heirs are not prosperous. Even if Dong E's real body is favored, there will be four elder brothers and several princesses after the fourth elder brother. Fourth Brother is here, shouldn’t…?”

Yinzhen's face became serious, and he looked at Yinhu calmly: "So you want to pretend to be virtuous?"

Yinhu felt that the cloudy wind mixed with ice and snow was blowing towards his face. He resisted the pressure and thought carefully before slowly replying: "Back then, Guo Luoluo was splashed with dirty water when he stopped his concubine. Isn't the fourth brother not okay?" I know. Do I have to come and walk now? Doesn’t Fourth Brother know about me outside? "

When Yinzhen heard this, all the hostility in his body subsided.He only cared about forcing Lao Ba to show his sincerity, and deliberately ignored many things.This world is like this, when a man is infatuated with a woman, people in the world only say that the man is infatuated, and the bad reputation is even given to the woman.He put himself in his place and thought, Lao Ba was indeed in a dilemma, this man has a long history of wanting to save face and suffer.

The emperor finally reconciled with Mui: "Let's just get along, anyway, I won't find someone else to have a child. Anyway, you also gave birth to the fifth elder brother, so you can always hang out for a few years."

Yinhu couldn't let go: "What about two years later?"

Yinzhen offered a plan optimistically: "After two years, you will have another one?"

Yinhu: ...Why do you suddenly feel that someone has planned it for a long time?

There is also a feeling of walking into a pit with nowhere to focus?

Yinzhen went on to say that he regularly recruits young nobles to sleep in Chengqian Palace, wrap the quilt on the bed, throw it on the bed, and carry it out the next day. Tong Shiguan can also play tricks, those women You must be ashamed to say that you have not been favored, as long as you cooperate with my brother and me to give birth to a baby every two or three years, it will be fine.

In the next few days, Yinhu was very troubled, he really couldn't make him have children one after another like his big brother Fujin, but now he can't say "fourth brother, just go live with others, we put the overall situation first" sentence.

Yinzhen considerately stopped bringing up this topic, as if he didn't see his younger brother's ecstasy.He believed that what he had to say was enough, but what he should think about right now was the Queen Mother's side. It is always so tied up with a big Buddha in the harem.

...Actually, I am quite understanding.

So the emperor began to let the Tai Hospital follow up with the Queen Mother to speak, saying that the winter in the capital is too cold and windy, which is not conducive to the Queen Mother's legs and feet to recuperate.The mothers of the Compassion Ning Palace also began to persuade the Queen Mother to go to the Changping Palace, saying that escaping the cold and escaping the heat are not the same thing.

Of course the Empress Dowager didn't nod. There are a lot of ceremonial celebrations during the New Year's Eve. She is worried that the empress can't support the big scene because she is young, so she can't delegate power to Dong E, right?

The emperor then hinted that the imperial physician could add something to the queen mother's daily decoction, not too strong, just to make the queen mother feel cold occasionally.

The imperial doctor was about to be frightened into a fool, this kind of secretiveness in the palace was poisonous and murdered nobles, he really didn't dare to touch it.

The emperor only said: There is no need to add too much, they just pick a few ingredients from the imperial concubine's soup in Chengqian Palace and put them in. I just sympathize with the Queen Mother's hard work, and it's time to go to the hot spring palace to take good care of her.

The imperial physician had nothing to do, and the power struggle between the empress dowager and the emperor was on the verge of breaking out.

He is a foreign minister, but he also knows very well that the emperor of the court wins over the powerful clans, and the queen mother summons the imperial wives of the clansmen in the harem.The empress dowager obviously meant that the emperor was young and easily impulsive, and asked all the veterans of the clan to take more care of him.This seems to be too provocative to the dignity of the emperor, right?That's intolerable for any grown man.

In this way, one of the two big mountains that clearly stand against each other must give in. If the Queen Mother backs down, it is considered as returning the power to the emperor. If the emperor backs down, what is it?In the hand of a woman?The empress dowager supervises the country?Listening to politics behind a curtain?

The imperial physician basically had no choice, and the Han people's deep-rooted concept of being a male master had the upper hand. In addition, he had already offended the Compassionate Ning Palace with the matter of the fifth elder brother of the imperial concubine. This time he made a choice without much effort.

The Empress Dowager suddenly became weak because of a cold wind, and it was fierce. She has been worrying about hard work this year and has no leisure.The queen waited on the bed for several days and was distracted by taking care of the fourth elder brother. Soon, she was on the verge of collapse.

The Empress Dowager seized the opportunity to imply that the Empress had fallen ill and it was time for the imperial concubine to attend to her illness. This move immediately wiped away the shred of shame that the Emperor had finally gathered.

After all, the imperial concubine put down the fifth elder brother to go to the Compassionate Ning Palace to take care of the sick, but the fifth elder brother was taken to the Qianqing Palace by the emperor himself to be raised. This news once again alarmed all the women in the palace, including the families behind these women.

The emperor didn't notice a shocking thing. Back then, the holy ancestor also raised the prince by his side and taught him personally. By the way, I was also raised by the holy ancestor for a short time when I was young, although basically I was with my mother all day long. relatively.

Yinhu didn't object either. Concubine Dong E's real fourth elder brother seemed to have been burned during the time when she served the queen mother.

The emperor's amnesty for the son-in-law of the middle palace has not completely faded away, and here he personally taught the fifth elder brother, it is still difficult to determine who is more favored.Now both the Empress Dowager Party and the Imperial Party have elder brothers who support themselves, but it seems that the two elder brothers are too young to make a conclusion. Fortunately, the emperor was in his prime and did not force courtiers to express their views between the emperor and the queen mother.

The Empress Dowager drank the decoction and bitter juice for half a month, her illness recovered slowly, and she still had bad breath at night.The royal clan in Beijing ordered Fujin to serve in the palace in turn.

The weather in the capital is getting colder, so the Empress Dowager will suffer from the cold again, so the Palace of Compassion and Ning used Shangdilong to burn silver charcoal early on.As a result, the queen mother always wakes up once or twice every night, making her Yin weaker and weaker.

This time, the Tai Hospital began to seriously advise the Queen Mother to stay warm when it is cold, eat more fresh vegetables, fruits and vegetables, and it is best to move to a warm and humid place to move around more, so as to raise her for a winter.

The fresh dishes available in winter in Beijing are limited, and most of them are meat dishes, and there are regular rules for emperors, concubines and concubines.After the Empress Dowager fell ill, everyone from the emperor to the empress and concubine reduced their quotas, but it was only a few extra bundles of cabbage, two boxes of potatoes, and a few baskets of mushrooms, most of which were transported from the Changping Palace.

The queen mother was finally persuaded by Tang Ruowang who visited the palace with some foreign reasoning, and Feng Jia set off for Changping to enjoy the humid atmosphere of the hot spring before the winter came.

Yinzhen won a big victory, he is very confident that the queen mother will not have to come back in a short time.

What Yinhu is worried about is that the fifth prince's favor is too much, which is not a good sign.

The few elder brothers who had high hopes in those days are gone, and the one who stands out is always the one who is not loved by his parents, such as the holy ancestor, or the fourth child, of course the ancestor is also counted.
