Rebirth · Mausoleum

Chapter 72 Battle

Since the queen mother woke up, her health has become worse and worse. Until the end of the new year, the lights were exhausted. After all, Hong Zhou failed to choose Fujin before the queen mother passed away. Enter the concubine mausoleum of the first emperor.Less than two months after the Empress Dowager's funeral, the envoys from both sides of Junggar's stalemate arrived in Kyoto to ask to see the emperor.

"The envoys of the two parties are both Khan's confidantes, and they also brought a lot of treasures with them. Although they are not comparable to the property of the Qing Dynasty, it can also prove the sincerity of the two Khans." Zhang Tingyu said.

"For so many years, since the old Khan passed away, only these two are left among the old Khan's sons. It is said that Haji, who is already in a weak position, proposed this request to see me this time."

"Yes. Haji is weak, and Moge is superior. The emperor has read the letter of acceptance of the two envoys, and I don't know when the emperor will announce the two envoys."

"Moge called this a private matter of Junggar, and he only hoped that I would not intervene in this matter, which shows his confidence. On the contrary, Haji hoped that I would send troops to help him unify Junggar."

Zhang Tingyu thought for a while, "This Haji has a big appetite, but I heard that according to the old Junggar custom, the father's wife must marry the next Khan, and Princess Chaogui has married the Khan's son, it is Haji. "

Yongzheng said slowly, "Whether Haji really has a big appetite is unknown, but Moge's self-confidence is definitely not a good thing."

"Although the national treasury is now frugal due to the emperor's promotion, and rich merchants from the south of the Yangtze River are taking the lead, and the merchants of the whole country donate military wealth to the country, but the emperor must be cautious if he wants to support one side."

Yongzheng nodded.

"Regarding this matter, I still have something to report."

"What's the matter."

"Princess Chaogui also sent a maid to come with Haji's envoys, saying that she has something to bring to the old concubine Yao and concubine Xiang."

"I pay my respects to the concubine Yao, the concubine Xiang, the concubine Yao, and the concubine Xiang. Good luck and peace."

"Get up quickly." An Lingrong said first to avoid the salute, and beckoned to the little girl from Junggar to let her come. Looking at An Lingrong carefully, An Lingrong added a little favor, "How old is it?"

The little girl replied crisply, "Fourteen."

Concubine Xiang also likes such an aura girl, "What's her name?"

"The servant's name is Qigeqi." Qigeqi saluted seriously.

"Princess Chaogui actually taught you the Chinese language of a little Junggar girl, and also taught you the etiquette in the palace. It's very good if you are not timid."

Qigeqi said happily, "When the maidservant came to the palace, she saw that the palace was gorgeous and dared not talk too much. But Ordo said that she can relax in front of the two empresses."

"Ordo?"

"It's Khan's wife, the Princess Chaogui that the empress said. Khan likes Orduo very much, and married Orduo against all odds a few years ago."

An Lingrong and Cao Qinmo looked at each other, and quickly understood each other's meaning, Chao Gui was expressing their closeness.

An Lingrong looked at Qi Geqi again, this little girl is very good at talking, but it makes people feel that she didn't mean to talk like that.

"It seems that you Khan love you Orduo very much." Cao Qin said silently.

But no, Chao Gui married her son from her father, so she could only change from a main wife to a concubine.

"Yeah, and Khan and Orduo are very affectionate." Qigeqi blinked, said 'ah', and changed his serious expression, "The time for slaves to enter the palace is not long, so we should put Orduo first." Do what you have been told."

An Lingrong and Cao Qinmo looked at Qi Geqi and cleared his throat, "I haven't seen you for a few years. I don't know if the imperial concubine Yao and the concubine Xiang are well. I remember that when we got married, there were only two empresses who came to see me except the emperor brother. I am very grateful for mentioning me. Although my husband is from Junggar, he has a very good temperament and is humble. He yearns for the etiquette of the Manchu and Han. Although he has been busy with wars these years, he still promotes the etiquette of the Qing Dynasty. The other I have met Moge, who claims to be Khan, a few times. He is very good at force, and he is conceited. I dare not comment too much because I have only seen a few times. I begged the emperor to listen to my wife's words, but I can only say a few words of women's words to the two empresses. She is a clever girl, but I don't trust her, she is not polite, I hope the two empresses can Protect her. In addition, I just hope that the two empresses will take care of themselves."

After finishing speaking, Qigeqi took out a carved gold agate ring from his waist purse and handed it to An Lingrong.

An Lingrong took the ring and showed it to Cao Qinmo. Cao Qinmo looked carefully and nodded and gave it back to Qi Geqi, "This is indeed one of the dowry that the concubine arranged for Princess Chaogui back then."

An Lingrong looked at Qigeqi carefully putting away his things and asked, "Why doesn't Orduo edit a book?"

"Orduo said that it would be troublesome if you accidentally lost the letter. It's better to let the servant memorize it." Qi Geqi blinked playfully, "After all, the servant is so big, it's not easy to lose it."

Both An Lingrong and Cao Qinmo burst out laughing.

"I'm afraid there are not many people in the palace who can speak like this."

"Yes."

Qige looked at An Lingrong and Cao Qin with a puzzled smile, and Ordo would smile like this when talking to her.

"Ju Qing." An Lingrong called out.

Ju Qing pushed the door and entered, "The servant is here."

"Bring the corner of the agate Tianlu and the golden melon seeds in the warehouse of the palace to Qigeqi."

"Yes."

Soon Juqing brought Qigeqi a small object and half a hand of golden melon seeds.

"Tianlu has the meaning of eliminating disasters and keeping Bailu forever. And this Tianlu is rare because of its small size. It is my personal gift to you Orduo. As for the remaining golden melon seeds, you take them well. It is a reward for your clever tongue today."

"Thank you, ma'am." Qigeqi smiled and put Tianlu and Jinguazi in the purse around his waist.

"It's getting late, you should hurry back to the station before the key is released at the palace gate."

"Did the emperor turn over the signboard here today?" Zhen Yuluo frowned lazily.

"Returning to your mother, the emperor has gone to Yanxi Palace today."

As soon as Pei'er said this, Zhen Yuluo immediately put down the thrush pencil, and there was some joy in her expressionless eyes.

"Then wash up."

"Yes."

"Let Jinxiu come in person."

"Yes."

Zhen Yurao rested her chin and played with her long hair boredly. Since her sister's death, she has brought several important ladies and eunuchs from Yongshou Palace into her palace.

Soon Jinxiu came in with a copper basin soaked in rose juice, and bent over to serve her master.

"Aren't you going to talk about it today?" Zhen Yuluo let Jinxiu take care of her at will, and Jinxiu lowered her head and said nothing, "The aunt in charge of Yongshou Palace can only be a maid who waits for people to wash up, won't you be reconciled?"

"The servant said that the work that is more difficult and tiring than this, the servant has also done."

"I don't want to be hard and soft, it seems that you are very loyal to my sister. But today I learned something new," Zhen Yuluo paid attention to Jinxiu's movements, "I know today that the missing Wei Lin was actually killed. .”

"If someone framed the imperial concubine, naturally Wei Lin would not be allowed to live."

"But according to the news I got, the person who killed Wei Lin didn't seem to be the one who abolished the Empress." Zhen Yuluo said slowly, "It was my own family."

"The servant girl can't understand what the empress is talking about."

"Do you know why I doubt the cause of my sister's death?" Zhen Yuluo paused, "I have never believed in ghosts and gods, so naturally I don't believe in the palace's theory that the Queen of Chunyuan died unjustly and possessed my sister, so what my sister said at the end Someone must have told her that set of words. The daughter of the Zhen family has always been proud and refused to be a substitute. My sister will definitely not let herself live in such a miserable life at the last moment. Someone must have forced her to say these words. Look again Queen, the queen's palace is quite deep, if I were the queen, I would definitely not use the same blatant method to kill someone who is similar to Queen Chunyuan. So the person who killed my sister was not the queen."

Jinxiu still wiped Zhen Yurao's jade feet expressionlessly.

Zhen Yuluo narrowed her eyes impatiently, "But since even the emperor couldn't find out the cause of my sister's death, Wei Lin was killed by my family members, and so on, I have to make a bold guess that someone coerced my sister to let her do this by herself. I did. Jinxiu, tell me I'm right."

"The servant girl is just a servant girl, she doesn't know much."

"Who is it! Who is that person who threatened my sister!" Zhen Yu suddenly dipped her feet in the copper basin and suddenly bent over and pulled Jinxiu's collar, forcing her to look at her. Because of the excessive force, the water in the basin Wet Jinxiu's clothes, "Mantis catching cicadas and orioles are behind, looking at the current harem must belong to Concubine Yao! Whether it is Concubine Duan or Concubine Yao, tell me!"

Imperial concubine, your own sister is really as smart as you said, and this slave girl thought she could keep this secret in her stomach for a lifetime.

Jinxiu looked at Zhen Yuluo, "My servant promised that the imperial concubine should not say anything. This servant advised her not to obsess over this matter. There is no right or wrong in this matter."

"Isn't it wrong that my sister was forced to death?!" Zhen Yuluo let go of Jinxiu, who fell down on her kneeling legs.

The hall fell into silence.

Jinxiu regained her composure and wiped Zhen Yurao's jade feet dry, "Your Majesty, I don't think I don't need my servants to wait on you anymore, so the servants will step back first."

On the second day, Jinxiu from Jingyang Palace slipped and drowned in a well not far from Jingyang Palace in the middle of the night, and she was very sad when she heard that Concubine Wan knew about it.

After half a month after Qigeqi entered the harem to speak with An Lingrong and Cao Qinmo, the emperor first summoned the very anxious Haji envoy, and then summoned the indifferent Moge envoy.

"The emperor has made a decision?"

"Haji promised me that after the event is completed, the two countries will be good friends. There will be no wars on the border between Junggar and the Qing Dynasty within a hundred years, and there will be an open market. I have decided to send troops to Junggar to help Haji and my imperial sister."

"Although the emperor doesn't have to care about the treasury, Yue Zhongqi and General Fu Erdan can't get away." Zhang Tingyu frowned, "I don't know if the emperor has selected a good general."

"Moge has 20 iron cavalry, and Haji originally had 15 iron cavalry. This time, we only need to assist Haji's generals to repel Moge. This is also considered as the fifth prince. I plan to designate the fifth prince as General Dingning, Bring one hundred thousand soldiers to assist Haji to rule Junggar."

"I heard from Old General Qi that the five princes are excellent at riding and shooting, and that they memorize the art of war. The No-Brown Lady in the palace involves the power of the harem and the previous court, and the prince will definitely boost morale. Your majesty has thoughtful considerations."

"I'm leaving tomorrow, have you brought everything?"

"Yes, you have asked the third time."

An Lingrong sighed, "The emperor has only made a decision for half a month, and you are leaving. Madam An's selfish intention is to let you stay in the palace for a few more days, I'm really afraid..."

"My son will come back safely." Hong Zhou touched the jade carving in his bosom that has been treasured for many years and said, "It's not good for Niang Niang to distrust my son so much."

An Lingrong didn't answer, and pointed to the cake box on the third floor on the table, "It's a long journey, the food in the army is definitely not as good as that in the palace, so prepare some to eat."

Hong Zhou stood helplessly and said, "There are so many, I can't finish them all by myself."

"If you can't finish eating, share it with others!" An Lingrong glared at the child.

"Yes." Hong Zhou asked the little eunuch close to him to put it away.

An Lingrong stood up. Even with the flowerpot shoes, the child was half a head taller than her, and subconsciously reached out to touch Hongzhou's head.

Unexpectedly, Hongzhou pulled An Lingrong's wrist to prevent An Lingrong from touching his head again. Hongzhou looked into An Lingrong's eyes and said, "I have grown up."

Seeing Hong Zhou's red ears, An Lingrong burst out laughing, "Yes, Zhou'er has grown up." As he spoke, he easily pulled his hand out of Hong Zhou's callused palm, and instructed with a half-smile , "Now that you have grown up, you have to take care of yourself."

"... Mmm." Hong Zhou forced himself not to think about An Lingrong's hearty smile just now, and said the words "Er Chen knows" after "Mmm" in a subtle way.

An Lingrong knew that it must have taken a long time for Hongzhou to go to this battle, but every time he heard the emperor tell her about Hongzhou's victory, he heard the emperor praise Hongzhou and said that it was very good for her to help Hongzhou in the military. , she will always be very relieved, this time when Hongzhou returns, the emperor will probably make him a county king, and now her only dissatisfaction with Hongzhou is that he is still short of a good Fujin.

After the incident of Noble Concubine Xi and the Empress Dowager, it became easier for An Lingrong to deal with the affairs of the harem, and it can be said that he was handy.The high-ranking concubines in the harem, except Concubine Wanhui, are all loyal to her, and these two people are also very relieved and will not take the initiative to provoke disputes.The palace people also behaved under this concubine in charge who followed the palace rules.The empress position in the harem was vacant, but there were almost no disputes in the harem, which made the emperor very happy to see the scene of the harem and did not mention the matter of establishing an empress.

An Lingrong has also paid attention to the movements of King Guo. Since the death of Zhen Huan, King Guo still behaves unrestrainedly and even tends to be absurd. He often does not participate in the early court to go out to play or compose poems drunk, because he loves the concubine in the house very much. , was once a memorial to a concubine who killed his wife, but after all, he didn't take Fujin harshly but only favored his concubine, so this memorial just passed away with a lot of thunder and rain.

And since the emperor was abolished and dealt with the major affairs in the frontier, the emperor has come to the harem more often, and a few young people have been added to the harem, often agreeing, but the favor of Yanxi Palace and Jingyang Palace is still ahead.

In a blink of an eye, Hong Zhou left Beijing for April, and the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived.

"emperor."

"Ok?"

"This is the first time the emperor has accompanied his concubines to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Yongzheng hugged An Lingrong to watch the moon by the window, he was startled when he heard An Lingrong's words, and then remembered that he used to spend big days like the Mid-Autumn Festival with the queen.It's just that he hasn't done things like admiring the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival with that poisonous woman for a long time.

"Nonsense, I obviously have to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Rong'er at the banquet."

"The emperor obviously spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with all the sisters at the banquet, so how can it be regarded as spending the Mid-Autumn Festival with his ministers and concubines?" An Lingrong was a little uncertain why the emperor would come to Yanxi Palace on the first Mid-Autumn Festival after the abolishment, and the words were sloppy With a lonely tone, "The emperor has always been accompanied by the empress, and he probably doesn't know what it feels like to look at the full moon in the sky foolishly during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"If Rong'er wants to watch the moon with you every year, it's not impossible."

An Lingrong's heart skipped a beat. Every year when the emperor accompanied the Mid-Autumn Festival, only the empress would be eligible. But with her An Lingrong's family background... she might have no hope of becoming a queen in this life, even if... only a successor.

Shaking his head in Yongzheng's arms, An Ling said, "Every sister in the palace is looking forward to the emperor's arrival like a concubine. The concubine never expects the emperor to come in the mid-autumn festival. This concubine is just a concubine now. Because of the vacancy, in the future there will be sisters next to me in the next position, and the concubine will only cherish the memories of today and the emperor."

An Lingrong shook his head, but what he felt in Yongzheng was rubbing in his arms, and his heart was moved. An Lingrong always had this kind of peaceful feeling of not fighting or grabbing, unlike other women who said it became lust. Welcome or refuse.

"...Actually, I know."

"?"

"In the past, when I was a prince, in the palace of Empress Xiaoyiren, who raised me, I always watched the moon alone during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"..." An Lingrong didn't expect the emperor to answer her, but she was stunned when the emperor said this, and she said sleepily after a while, "Then... the concubine should be considered half of the emperor's concubine. Confidant..."

"Why half?"

The only answer to Yongzheng was An Lingrong's shallow breathing when he fell asleep. Yongzheng, who had a similar experience, carried An Lingrong back to the bed with some difficulty.

The author has something to say:

Why do I feel that the writing seems to be crooked, maybe the hero of this article should be replaced (??? By the way, is there a hero in this article).Suddenly, I really want to write that after many years, the fifth elder brother took the military power to rebel and seize the throne, and then mausoleum...Just a preview, the next chapter may be stuck... (In other words, I really wrote about how the fifth prince took military power to rebel and ascended to the emperor. Anyway, Lingrong has no sweetheart, and ends with a sadistic relationship between a bloody brother and sister?? ? Confused)
