Prince in the same boat

Without warning, the next day, Qianlong suddenly decreed to confer titles on several of his sons. Among them, the third prince, Yongzhang, was promoted to one level and was named Dorothyun King; the fourth prince, Yongxuan, was named Dorothy Yibeile; the sixth prince, Yongrong, was named Dorokobeile; the eighth prince, Yongxuan, was named Doroyibeile; the eleventh prince, Yongxuan, was named Dorojobeile; the twelfth prince, Yongrong, was named Doroka County king!

There is also the son of Heshuo and the prince, Aixinjueluo-Yongfan, the son of Zhebei, who has also been promoted to a higher level because of his ability to handle errands, and now Zhebei Le.What is strange is that the fifth prince, Aixinjueluo Yongqi, who has always been loved by everyone, did not receive any will to confer titles, and became the only baldhead among the princes besides the newly born fifteenth prince Yongyan. elder brother.

A series of canonization decrees caused great turmoil in the court and the harem, and everyone speculated and whispered for a while.

This purpose is really intriguing.

First of all, the third elder brother Yongzhang came here to do a lot of business, and he was actually the "eldest prince", so it was expected that he was named the county king. Moreover, although Yongzhang was diligent, he lacked talent and was awarded the title of "eldest prince". Back then, Qianlong's decree deprived him of the right to inherit the throne. No matter how you look at it, he was a good king, but he didn't make people hate him.

On the other hand, the twelfth prince, Yongxi, was only 11 years old. Although he was born to Empress Nala of Zhonggong, he didn't see how much the emperor favored him. Why did he suddenly stand out from the crowd among his brothers and was named a county? How is the honor of Wang Yishi's son-in-law different from other princes?

Second, what a grand thing it is to be a prince of the Qing Dynasty, this is the honor enjoyed by the favored sons of the Tian Family in the Palace of Compassion, but this time, an adoptive son of the prince can be listed on the same imperial decree as the princes, what a big deal this is Long Chong, many people who don't know the truth, have another guess about Yong Fan's identity.

Thirdly, and the most important point, the fifth prince Yongqi, who has always been favored by the invisible prince, doesn't even have the title of Beizi!

The courtiers would not think that this was because Qianlong wanted to make him the crown prince, because Qianlong added another one after he issued the imperial decree to confer titles on the sons of Jin: the fifth prince, Aixinjueluo-Yongqi, was in Qianlong's St. Move out of the palace after birthday!

Without any title of title, and being ordered to be moved out of the palace, anyone with a discerning eye can tell just by looking at what weight Fifth Prince is in the Emperor's mind!

How could it be?Although fifth elder brother did some outrageous and absurd things when he came in, but according to the emperor's love for him, it shouldn't end like this!

The Queen Mother of Chongqing still loves this grandson who has been raised by her side for several years. Although she is a little angry because of the little swallow, she still looks at her differently among the grandsons.

I don't know what Qianlong said to her after being summoned by the queen mother. That night, the queen mother of Chongqing knelt in the Buddhist hall and repented to the late emperor all night. When I came to pay my respects, the Queen Mother claimed that I was sick and disappeared.

Let's not mention him in the court, the harem is also undercurrent about this, but the strange thing is that the concubine Ling, who has always been close to the fifth elder brother, has never said a word in front of the emperor, but only takes care of her son with all her heart Yongyan.As for the Queen, she seems to have learned something from Concubine Rong. Apart from being secretly proud, she is more restraining people in Kunning Palace and the Nala family. They must be cautious in their words and deeds. Anything that damages the reputation of the master will be killed, and no mercy will be given!

Some sensitive people know that the sky in this palace is about to change!

Yong Qi knows that she is the only one among the brothers who has not been entrusted with a title besides Yong Yan's milk baby, so let's not mention the effort to be aggrieved!Thinking of those brothers who I didn't even look down on in the past, but now I have to salute them, it's even more wronged!

Even Huang Mama, who has always loved him, now ignores him, and refuses to even see him!

Yong Qi, who originally had some resentment towards Qianlong because of Little Swallow, became more determined in her plan to help Meng Dan take Han Xiang out of the palace, and even the little bit of guilt in her heart was thrown away by him!

In contrast, even Yong Qi himself hadn't realized that there was even such a tinge of revenge in his heart!Under the subtle influence of Xiao Jian, a thought that he had never had before also grew in his heart.

The fifth elder brother knew that Qianlong's longevity was coming soon, and besides the state banquet, there would definitely be a family banquet in the palace. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Yong Qi thought that Qianlong was celebrating his 50th birthday this time, and the Jushi Palace must be very lively, so he told Xiao Jian his idea, Xiao Jian discussed with the leaders of the Red Flower Society for a long time, and he also thought it was good. So everyone decided to act on that day.It's just that Yongqi just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to steal Hanxiang out, while Xiao Jian and the others were thinking about how to take advantage of the opportunity to assassinate Qianlong!

As for the fifth elder brother jumping up and down, he thought he secretly replaced the guards of Jingyang Palace with seven or eight people. Qianlong and a group of ministers who received the secret order to lead the guards all pretended not to know and let him mess around.

On the contrary, Yongqi herself was a little strange. He relied on the help of Lingfei Empress to change the guards. He originally thought of some reasons to perfunctory, but who knew that Lingfei Empress didn't even ask, and readily agreed to help.But thinking that Concubine Ling has always been on good terms with her, Yong Qi suppressed all her doubts.

In Qianqing Palace, Qianlong, Hongzhou, Yongzhang, Yongxuan, Yongfan and the two ministers who led the guards, Fu Heng and Feng, raised their foreheads.

"Huang Ama, my servant has already prepared everything!" Yong Fan couldn't help but secretly complacent, the person arranged by Jingyang Palace is quite clever, and even controlled most of Yong Qi and others' actions!

"Okay! Yongfan, well done! This time, I will definitely wipe out all these traitors who dare to commit trouble!" Two groups of fierce lights burst out from Qianlong's phoenix eyes: "This time the action is in the palace. After all, it’s a little risky, Fu Heng, Feng Sheng’er, you guys are going to stare at everyone, and you must not cause too much noise so as not to disturb the inner palace! The queen mother, queen, princess, and elder brothers have all been protected by me. ...I don't want too many places in the palace to be stained with blood!"

"My minister obeys the decree...but..." Fu Heng and Feng Sheng looked at each other, and in the end it was the senior Fu Heng who bit the bullet and said: "Because this matter involves the fifth elder brother, if there is a conflict at that time, And Fifth Brother, he..."

"Since we have mixed up with the traitor..." Qianlong said solemnly, "Then treat them equally!"

"Wei Chen understands!"

"Yongxie, when the time comes, you will take your brothers to stay at Elder Brother's house. Remember to protect and appease your brothers and two nephews!"

"My son complies with the order, but..." Yongxuan said: "Then your side..."

"I have a big inner guard by my side, and Yongfan, my top Manchu master." Qianlong comforted: "You just need to rest assured."

"Yes."

Qianlong's birthday came in a blink of an eye.

The emperor's fiftieth birthday can be called universal celebration.During the state banquet, the imperial palace was immersed in a sea of ​​jubilation. The princes, princesses, princes, royal family members, court officials... all followed the etiquette to congratulate Qianlong on his birthday.There were three married princesses, Heduan, Hehui, and Hejia, all of whom were found to be pregnant. Qianlong and the Empress Dowager Chongqing were overjoyed and even more joyful.

Especially the empress dowager, looking at the house full of children and grandchildren, the heroic and charming granddaughter, who is about to become a mother, all the creases on the empress dowager's face are stretched out happily, and the ugly face of the past few days has been moisturized a lot.

The queen looked at today's lively scene and thought about the emperor's decree and canonization purpose for a few days. The twelfth elder brother can be said to be the champion, and she couldn't help being even more satisfied.

Look at the concubine Ling who is sitting under the hands of the pure imperial concubine, although it seems that she has been favored again because of the fifteenth elder brother, but looking on coldly, the favor of the concubine Ling is not as good as before, and now there is such an alluring concubine Rong A peerless beauty, Qianlong has grown tired of Lingfei, and now he is only guarding the friendship of more than ten years.

Elder Brother Twelve was favored by the emperor, and with the help of Yongzhang and Yongfan, he had changed from his previous dull appearance, and became much more lively and cheerful. The queen was very happy.

Princess Heduan, Ziwei, Princess Hehui, and Princess Hejia were married at the same time, and they had a very good friendship, but now they are pregnant at almost the same time, and they are even more loving and intimate. Now they are sitting together to exchange ideas.Ziwei thought of Yongfan's vague reminder today, and couldn't help but look at Feng Sheng'e worryingly, and turned to look at the fifth prince, with a little more resentment.

The daytime state banquet passed safely.The family banquet at night is even more unique.

Lanterns and festoons are everywhere in the imperial garden, and the sky is full of colorful splendor, and the dotted sky is full of brilliance, even the stars are eclipsed by it.

Qianlong took his concubines, princes, and princesses to watch the fireworks in the imperial garden.The gorgeous flower rain sprinkled from the sky, like gold, snow and silver rain, suddenly not like a mortal scene.

Accompanied by Qianlong, Han Xiang returned to Xinjiang from Fanbang. This was the first time in his life that he saw fireworks. Looking at the sky full of scenery, he could not help but sigh softly several times.

Everyone was concentrating on watching the fireworks, but the fifth elder brother glanced at his pocket watch to check the time. Suddenly, a figure flashed among the trees far away, and the fifth elder brother immediately shouted: "Who is there?"

This loud shout attracted everyone's attention.

The fifth elder brother seemed to have not moved his hands and feet for a long time. As soon as the voice fell, he chased after him. A black shadow, as fast as lightning, flew away towards the corridor of Quyuan.

"An assassin? Stop!" Fifth Brother yelled, chasing the man in black.

The Empress Dowager Chongqing and Qianlong glanced at each other, keeping their expressions calm, but the other concubines and princes were shocked and shouted for escort.

In an instant, Ouchi masters and waiting guards swarmed in.

Yong Fan coughed lightly, and said with a strange expression: "This is strange, the Forbidden City, where the dignified emperor lives, is not safe anymore? How could there be assassins running out on this Longevity Festival?"

Fu Heng and Feng Sheng'er, who were in charge of the security and guards in the palace, knew some inside stories long ago, and secretly scolded the fifth elder brother for thinking of such a slapstick attention, but on the surface they knelt down to plead guilty in fear.

Not long after, fifth elder brother and several guards from Jingyang Palace came back.

"How? Have you caught the assassin?" Qianlong asked with a hard look at the Fifth Brother.

The fifth elder brother put his head back and said: "Report to Emperor Ama, my servant is incompetent, the assassin's lightness kung fu is extremely high, my servant couldn't catch up, and he just disappeared like this!"

The Empress Dowager looked at the fifth elder brother, the sad look on her face flashed away, and then asked: "Oh, didn't you bring the guards and you couldn't catch the assassin?"

The fifth elder brother was startled, he always felt that there seemed to be something hidden in the queen mother's words, and quickly said: "Return to the emperor mama! This assassin doesn't know if he has any accomplices, my son is worried about the safety of the palace! Why don't you The minister immediately sent people to search the entire palace to ensure safety! It is already late at night, and Huang Ama, Huang Mama, Huang Erniang, and the mothers and concubines in the harem all returned to their residences and closed the palace gates for safety. , to avoid accidents!"

"Ridiculous! Search the entire imperial palace. If this matter gets out, wouldn't it be ridiculous and cause chaos!" Qianlong said in a deep voice.

"Huang Ama, this..." Fifth elder brother couldn't help being anxious, he originally wanted to take the opportunity of searching the palace to take Hanxiang away.

The queen looked at Qianlong, and said, "Long live, although what the fifth elder brother said is a bit reckless, it is not unreasonable. Although it is absolutely impossible to search the palace, it is still feasible for the people in the harem to return to their residences for a while. In this way It’s also good for Ouchi’s guards to search for assassins, isn’t it?”

"Exactly! The Queen is right!" The Empress Dowager Chongqing nodded lightly.

The fifth elder brother is overjoyed, as long as Hanxiang returns to Jingren Palace at this time, he has already drawn a topographic map of the palace for Meng Dan, and with the little swallow who insists on following him to lead the way, he will be able to find Jingren Palace smoothly of.

"Okay, let's do it that way." Qianlong finally nodded, and sent an order for the master to avoid, and the harem women also returned to the palace and closed the palace door tightly.

"Huang Ama, I want to protect you nearby." Yong Qi thought of the words Xiao Jian said to him before leaving. Rong pretended to be his bodyguard and followed him, which made him feel at ease a lot.

"...Okay." A cold light flashed in Qianlong's eyes, and he said, "Yongfan, you and Feng Sheng'er go to search for the assassin together, and you must catch the assassin! Yongzhang, Yongqi, you two and I will go to Qianqing Palace together Escort."

"Yes, my minister (slave) obeys the order."

"Huang Ama..." Ziwei suddenly stepped forward to salute, "I also want to go to Qianqing Palace to accompany you."

"Ziwei, you're pregnant, you'd better be careful." Qianlong shook his head and said, "Or, you can go to your empress's place to rest for one night."

"Huang Ama..." Yong Fan suddenly laughed and said, "Ziwei is also showing filial piety, so you can help her."

"...Okay." Qianlong thought, protecting Ziwei by his side, there should be no danger, so he agreed.
