The style of the Queen Mother in Qing Dynasty is different

A trip out of the palace has gained a lot.

Qiqige not only bought a lot of new gadgets outside the palace, but also gained a "kind" son-in-law.

Of course, the princess can't choose her husband so hastily. After returning to the palace, Qiqige asked the emperor to send someone to inquire about this Fahai.

I really don’t know if I don’t inquire, but I’m startled when I inquire.

The name Fahai sounds like an iron-blooded old monk, ascetic and strong, but in fact he is a poor child.

He was originally the eldest son of the family, but his biological mother died early, and his father married a second wife, who treated him very badly.

Food and clothing are indeed better than ordinary people outside, but they are far behind his brothers and sisters. Some servants who are shameful eat better than Fahai.In order to spoil him, the stepmother stuffed a bunch of beautiful girls into his room, all of them sharp-tongued, making him unable to read because of the noise.

Perhaps because he was used to the intrigues of maidservants since he was a child, Fa Hai's ability to distinguish green tea has reached the full point.

Later, the palace selected bodyguards from Shangsanqi, and Fa Hai secretly begged to go to his uncle's house, and then he was selected into the palace as a bodyguard and got a job.

He was delayed when he was a child, and his literary talent and martial arts are just ordinary.Fortunately, he is clever enough, the emperor likes him, otherwise it would be more difficult to get ahead.

After finding out Fa Hai's family background, Qi Qige asked the Empress Dowager and the Emperor for their opinions, to see if they agreed.

The empress dowager thought it was good, but the emperor felt that Fa Hai was not good enough for the princess.

"He has ordinary talents. Although I like his intelligence, it is not enough to be an official. His future is limited."

The empress dowager laughed, "Ten years later, when your princess gets married, you can't let you choose the forehead. Getting married is not about selecting officials. You can't just look at talent and learning, but at character."

She turned around and took Qiqige's hand and patted it, "The person you chose is very good! When the late emperor was here, the harem was harmonious, it's all thanks to you. The second princess has never seen the methods of a woman in the harem, and she is a bit naive." .My son-in-law has suffered from the concubine's wife, so the princess will be at peace with him."

Qiqige nodded again and again, "I think so too! He has a good family background, but I don't know if he is willing to marry the princess."

The Empress Dowager said: "Why don't you want to? Didn't you say that his stepmother told him that all the girls he was looking for were not allowed to participate in the draft? As long as he is not stupid, he will definitely be willing to marry the princess."

If he married a girl from an ordinary family, Fahai would continue to be suppressed by his stepmother with filial piety.Marrying a princess is different. If the second princess is willing to give her stepmother face, she will respect her twice, and if she doesn't want to give her stepmother face, it's okay to scold her face to face.

Both the Empress Dowager and Qi Qige felt that Fa Hai was suitable, and the emperor no longer objected.

Qiqige said: "Since I'm the matchmaker, I'll be the one to say where the second princess and Fahai are."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "If this marriage is completed, I will give you a big matchmaker red envelope."

Hearing the word red envelope, Qiqige's eyes lit up.

"Don't worry, for this big red envelope, I will definitely do things beautifully."

Leaving the Palace of Compassion and Peace, Qiqige first went to ask the second princess for her opinion, "Fahai, do you still remember? He was the very handsome guard. I have already inquired about his family background, and I think he is not bad. I want to match you two, what do you think?"

The second princess blushed, "This...isn't it appropriate? I'm a married woman after all."

Qiqige didn't like to hear this kind of words the most, "Does your child have an elm head? What's wrong with being married? How many married widowers still find seventeen-year-old girls as stepmothers. Your youth Nianhua, find a forehead that is the best match!"

The old concept of the second princess cannot be changed in a short while, she lowered her head, still feeling inferior in her heart.

This is the lifelong event of the second princess, and Qiqige cannot make decisions for her.

She said: "If you don't want to, forget it. You are a princess, and you don't have to marry for the rest of your life."

The second princess felt anxious, "I...I think...Fahai is very good..."

She whispered and turned around again.

Qiqige snickered in her heart, so she just said it!Who in the world doesn't like handsome guys!

Seeing the appearance of the second princess, she was probably willing in her heart, but as a matchmaker, Qiqige had to make some things clear in advance.

"Fahai was delayed when he was a child. He didn't study hard and practice martial arts. His future prospects are limited. His stepmother treats him badly, and Fahai's family relationship is not very harmonious. You have to be mentally prepared for this."

The second princess thought for a while and said: "As long as he has a good character and a good personality, I don't care much about the rest."

Although she was satisfied in her heart, the second princess was still a little worried, "He is good-looking, he will definitely attract people, he...will he be very sweet?"

Qiqige couldn't help calling for Fahai's grievances. She had already checked, and Fahai was very cautious about women. He had no girlfriends or friends, and he was afraid that he would be harmed by a woman accidentally.

"Is there any reason for you to say that? What does being good-looking have to do with being in love! Look at me, I am so beautiful, do I have in mind? I am dedicated to not wanting to."

Qiqige: I love money all my life, how dedicated I am!

The second princess agreed with difficulty, "What the Queen Mother said is also..."

After talking with the second princess, Qiqige went to Qianqing Palace to summon Fahai.

After hearing this, Fahai immediately shouted loudly: "I am willing!"

Qiqige was taken aback by him, good guy, you shouted loudly enough, those who didn't know thought I was the priest of the church, and now you are swearing in marriage!

"You have to think clearly, our second princess is not worried about getting married, we are not trying to overwhelm others. I will tell you this in a whisper, if you are not willing to refuse immediately, no one will give you little shoes because of this."

Fahai was very excited, "I am willing! I am willing to do so! Queen Mother, I have humiliated you in front of you, and I am willing to tell you what is in my heart! The stepmother of the slave is a bit strict with the slave, and the slave married If I leave the princess, my stepmother won’t be able to control me anymore.”

He scratched his forehead with a foolish smile, "I know that my slave's little thoughts are not on the table. I hope the Queen Mother will not blame me. Besides, it is such an honor to marry a princess. I never thought that I would be lucky enough to marry a princess in this life!"

Fa Hai is a little clever, after what happened last time, he guessed that the Empress Dowager likes to listen to the truth, so he chose to tell the truth.

Qiqige was really satisfied after hearing this, both men and women agreed, and the marriage was considered complete.

The emperor and Fahai's family revealed their intention to get married, but Fahai's parents were unwilling, but on the surface they had to accept the order gratefully.

The palace began to prepare for the princess's wedding again. It happened that the queen was pregnant and had severe morning sickness.The emperor and queen asked Qiqige to help with the palace affairs, and Qiqige agreed to preside over the wedding of the second princess by the way.

In such an age, Fa Hai was considered a strange man.The second princess's princess mansion was ready-made. After they got married, Fahai moved all the belongings into the princess mansion in a big and aboveboard manner, completely leaving the previous home without leaving a single thread.

His father was not happy, and felt that Fahai wanted to completely cut off contact with his family, which was very unfilial.

Fahai explained it this way, "Ama, you can just talk about it at home, but don't say it outside, it's disrespectful. I am the son-in-law of the royal family, no different from a married couple. I don't live until the princess Mansion, can the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager be happy? Ama, you have to be considerate and considerate of your son. If your son has taken care of the princess, won’t the family also benefit from it?”

He even tried to ask for money, "My son is in short supply recently, please help him some! I beg you, son! You don't know that the servants of the princess mansion are all gifted by the queen mother. They are very powerful, and my son has to spend Take care of them with silver, otherwise the son will not even be able to see the princess in the princess mansion. If the son can't see the princess, how can he blow pillow wind around the princess and please the family?"

Fahai's father was so angry that he cursed at him for serving others.

Fa Hai was particularly confident, "Isn't my son an Israeli servant? If I don't have a good color, the queen mother and princess can't even look at me! Our family can't have such glory! By the way, I remember that there are many pearls in the house. It’s not very big, and the color is average. If you leave it for nothing, it will be moldy. Give me all the pearls! I’ll grind them into powder and put them on my face, so I’ll eat on my face from now on.”

Fahai's father was so angry with his son that he had to pay for pearls and silver in the end.

The second princess got a happy marriage, so Qiqige felt relieved.At the end of the year, the queen gave birth to the prince, and the palace was full of joy.Immediately afterwards, Qiqige received a letter from Naren, in which she said that everything was fine for her, that there were no elders in her family, that she had the final say inside and out, and that Bandi was honest and didn't spend so much time on it.

The good news came one after another, and Qiqige's life was satisfactory.But there is a certain number of good days. In the 11th year of Kangxi, the son born to the empress died young.At that time, the emperor was accompanying the empress dowager to recuperate in Tangquan, Chicheng. Her husband was not around, and the empress was distraught.

Qiqige visits and condolences every day, but the effect is minimal.

At the end of the 12th year of Kangxi, Wu Sangui rebelled.Not long after, the third prince Zhu set fire to the capital and made people panic for a while.

Many civilians fled the capital to take refuge. Some officials packed up the gold and silver and let their family members take them away from the capital.In case Wu Sangui came to the capital one day, it would be too late to escape.

The tense atmosphere of the previous court has affected the harem, and the concubines are not in the mood to quarrel and compete for favor.It just so happened that the queen was pregnant again at this time, she was flustered in her heart, but she still managed to keep calm on the surface, setting an example for others was really tormenting.

Qiqige knew that Xuanye would be emperor for a long time, although the situation was tense, she was not afraid.

In order to appease people's hearts, Qiqige fooled them when they came to pay their respects.

"The queen is pregnant, you must relax and maintain a happy mood."

The queen agreed with a smile, feeling bitter in her heart, how could she stay happy and relaxed?The third prince Zhu set fire to the capital, and if they stormed into the Forbidden City, it would be unlucky for her, the queen.

Qiqige said again: "Your bosom is similar to Empress Xiaokangzhang's bosom!"

Empress Xiao Kangzhang was referring to Xuan Ye's biological mother. After hearing this, all the concubines' ears perked up.The bosom is similar to Queen Xiaokangzhang, what does this mean, it means that the child in the queen's belly may be born to be the emperor's life.

Everyone in the palace is superstitious, and Qiqige can fool them by lying without drafting.

"At that time, Empress Xiaokangzhang gave birth, and I accompanied her in the palace outside. At that time, seven-colored lights suddenly appeared in the room, like a rainbow. I was shocked and rushed into the delivery room. At this time, the emperor was born, and he I was born not crying, but smiling with my eyes open. At that time, I felt that the emperor's child was extraordinary, and he must have a big background."

The concubines present were skeptical, and a simple concubine asked stupidly: "Is there such a thing?"

"Why not!" Qiqige said firmly, "At that time, you didn't accompany the childbirth. I think the emperor is extraordinary, and I was afraid that it would be bad for him to spread it out, so I suppressed this matter and didn't allow anyone to mention it, so you don't know."

Tong Jia was just a little concubine at that time, when the child was born, except for the queen who went to see her to show her respect for the emperor's heir, the other concubines gave some gifts and that was all.After hearing Qiqige's explanation, everyone believed it.

Qiqige's lie was like a reassurance, and everyone in the palace felt at ease.

Qiqige also ordered people to prepare fertilizer for farming, indicating that he would farm again next year.She teases cats and dogs leisurely every day, and with her as an example, others feel much more secure.

The emperor was very moved when he learned of this, he put aside his military affairs and ran to Xian'an Palace to thank Qi Qige.

"Emperor Niang, thank you for helping me. I have been exhausted from the previous court. If the harem is also in chaos, I really don't know what to do."

Qiqige patted him on the shoulder to encourage him, "You are the best! You are young and strong, can't you beat that old man Wu Sangui?"

The emperor smiled, "Yes! My son will definitely win!"

Qiqige looked around mischievously, lowered her voice and said: "I have already prepared the burden for my escape. If you really can't beat it, you can find Queen Mother, and I will take you away!"

Emperor: Didn't you say that life and death are shared?It turns out that the biggest traitor is you!
