Yongzheng period

The lowly Xue Baochai is the best pawn. The more hostile her other concubines are to her, the more she can cling to her big tree and be more loyal to herself.

Yikun Palace

"Have the residence lists of the new concubines been sent to Concubine Duan?"

"Yes, I sent it over a long time ago," Song Zhi lowered her head, "It's just that Concubine Duan changed a few things."

"Oh?" Concubine Hua flicked her hand over the account book, "What are you hesitating for? Who did she change?"

"Huigui was changed from Yongshou Palace to Changchun Palace, and Zhang promised to enter our Yikun Palace. Ma Jiachangzai and Jia Changzai are still in Yongshou Palace and Chuxiu Palace respectively."

"Huh, I'm going to give someone to Yikun Palace Xinbao. I don't know when Concubine Duan dares to be such a master." Concubine Hua slapped the account book back on the table, "And that nobleman Hui Well, I think that since she is so valued by the emperor, I deliberately let her live in the same palace with the recently favored nobleman——it's a pity."

Songzhi said in a low voice, "It's not the concubine Duan, the emperor happened to be in Jingyang Palace and changed it himself." Songzhi looked at her increasingly gloomy face after speaking, and said cautiously, "The emperor also named Huigui as the lord of Changchun Palace. He also said that the main hall was lived by Mrs. He—it was not clean, and the House of Internal Affairs was specially redecorated inside and out."

"This Lin Jia family is the emperor's heart," Nian Shilan said slowly, but she felt a little sour in her heart, and said in a low voice, "The emperor will not tell me if he changes—it seems that it is still Concubine Duan's." ability."

Songzhi didn't dare to answer, and after a long while, Fang heard her say again, "I remember that Hao Guiren was in charge of the Changchun Palace since the He family disappeared?" Nian Shilan said thoughtfully, with a calm tone, "Hao Guiren is an old man in the mansion. Now, it must be unwilling to be taken over by a newly promoted nobleman—let me also show the ability of this wise nobleman, it would be even better if he is a smart person."

It takes a month for newcomers to enter the palace before they can hang the green head card. After one month, Yongzheng's "nightlife" will definitely be "enriched".Therefore, from July to August, apart from flipping the brand of Hua Guifei for a few days, Yongzheng simply plunged into government affairs for the rest of the time, even if he was persuaded by the queen to go to other concubines. I'm being narrow-minded again ==] It's also just chatting under the quilt.

On July [-]th of the third year of Yongzheng, the "Ming History" was officially compiled, and the editors were rewarded one by one.There were other transfers of officials, most of which were caused by Yongzheng's efforts to suppress the royal clan and win over and divide the Eight Banners.

It is worth mentioning that An Bihuai, the magistrate of Songyang County, was able to transfer to Beijing as the "Six Sections Giving Things" because of his strong support for Yongzheng's idea of ​​"incorporating small households into acres" and was subordinate to the Inspectorate.Later, Yongzheng raised the official ranks in the matter to "five ranks", clearly stipulating that they have the power to enter the palace to remonstrate, and have the power to copy and distribute the inscriptions, review memorials, and supervise the official affairs of the six ministries, temples, government offices, and supervisors. , but its right to refute is nameless, and its powers are relatively light.

The youngest, Yinzhi, was also able to get back the "Prince Heshuo" who was cut off due to Concubine Min's hundred days, and was then driven by Yongzheng to study and compile Western-style textbooks with those missionaries to improve the knowledge of the school.

Night, Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Su Peisheng carefully held a bowl of qi-tonifying soup and placed it gently in front of Yongzheng who was reviewing the memorial.

Hearing the sound, Yongzheng put down his pen, straightened his waist and moved his joints, frowned and said, "Who sent it? I told you not to disturb."

"It was given by Concubine Yu. When she heard that the emperor hadn't slept well for several nights, she was really worried, so she made a bowl of soup."

Concubine Yu...Yongzheng thought of his fifth son who was the most incomprehensible in history and the sticky pole he was hesitant about recently...for a moment he was stunned looking at the bowl of soup—of course, in Su Peisheng's eyes, it was Yongzheng who had a look on his face Serious and majestic thinking. ==

It was only when Su Peisheng was about to see the flowers in the bowl of soup that he heard Yongzheng's order.

"Set up the Yonghe Palace and let Xia Yi follow along."

"Yes." Su Peisheng was shocked when he heard the words. He didn't expect that this Concubine Yu, who usually doesn't look like a mountain, can actually...

Yonghe Palace

Concubine Yu was also quite shocked when she heard the news of Yongzheng's arrival. When Yongzheng arrived, she finally made preparations to pick her up, but Yongzheng waved all the servants including Su Peisheng to step down - leaving only Xia Yi.

"Xia Yi, go and give the things to Concubine Yu."

"Yes."

After Concubine Yu saw clearly that the books placed in the box had the sign of 'sticky stick', she gasped and knelt down holding the box, but she had some calculations in her heart.

Sure enough, she heard Yongzheng say, "I will give you this brand today, and the little Wenzi in your palace will report the news to you——Gen, I hope you won't disappoint me."

She never found out that there were Yongzheng spies in Yonghe Palace!

Concubine Yu's heart trembled, she bowed her body and said in a low voice, "This concubine always remembers the emperor's instruction."

Soon, the Yonghe Palace returned to the tranquility of the past night.

At the beginning of August, Yongzheng began to renovate the green head cards of people. The first one was naturally the most eye-catching Huiguiren Lin Jiashi. He was the master for ten days in a row. A stroke of genius from the harem.

"I only look up to Xuanwei, and I must choose the quality of softness. Zuohui, Jiaoye, and the posture of Shushen have been promoted for a long time. It is recorded in the examination of the Yi chapter, and it is specially ordered. According to female precepts, etiquette is the principle. Be cautious and strict. Be respectful and diligent. Zunnei respects the empress dowager's benevolent order with gentleness. Canonize you as Hui concubine. Sui. Yimao Yiyi. He Hongxiu Yu Fangyong. Qin Zai."

Changchun Palace

After ordinary concubines are promoted, they have to pay respects to the queen and listen to her teachings.She was promoted to the main concubine within ten days after entering the palace, everyone in the harem might be focusing on her, Daiyu didn't dare to neglect her, she got up early to let Zijuan and Xueyan dress her up.

Zijuan saw that the clothes and jewelry picked out by Xueyan were full of bright colors and gorgeous patterns, so she couldn't help but said, "It's better to change to something simple and dignified, and it's not suitable for you to act high-profile today."

Zijuan was originally a servant of Jia's mansion. When Daiyu was taken home, Zijuan, who had been with her for several years, was very reluctant to let go, so she took her back to Lin's mansion as a pawn.As usual, when a beautiful girl enters the palace, she can bring her maids to serve her. The two Zijuan, Xueyan and Daiyu have known each other since she was a child.Zijuan is older than Xueyan, stable and flexible, and has a quick mind. Daiyu treats her differently than her servants.

Xueyan has always listened to Zijuan's words, although she was puzzled, she also changed her appearance, and said to Daiyu happily, "The emperor treats the young master with great care, and this slave girl will go with sister Zijuan to order the emperor's reward in the morning. They are all very good. The little eunuch who came to present the reward also said that the emperor specially sent a Jiaoweiqin after hearing that the young master is proficient in rhythm!"

Seeing her like this, Zicuckoo smiled and said, "A zither will make you so happy."

"The qin is nothing, but the heart is there." Daiyu felt grateful, but she couldn't see Yongzheng's thoughts even more.

The furnishings in the Changchun Palace are all exquisite and elegant. Yongzheng specially ordered the House of Internal Affairs to be transformed into a study in the right inner room. is readily available.More than a dozen bamboos were transplanted in the backyard, and there were some spots on them, like tears. It was the Xiangfei bamboo.The growth is lush and lush, forming a small bamboo forest. Just looking at it, Daiyu felt relieved.

Not to mention anything else, but Yongzheng's kindness to her is really rare.But the more this happened, the more unpredictable Daiyu became.

The emperor's thoughts...

Qianqing Palace

After Yongzheng came down to court, he rubbed his brows tiredly. At this time, the concubines should still be paying their respects to the queen in Kunning Palace.

"Su Peisheng, is the Kunning Palace disbanded?"

"No," Su Peisheng said respectfully.Looking up, he found that Yongzheng was a little distracted. Thinking of the lord who was favored recently, he felt blessed for a moment, "Miss Hui has just been canonized, and she was the first to arrive. The imperial concubine said she was late to deal with palace affairs, so she hasn't left yet."

"So, let's set up the Kunning Palace, I'll go and have a look." Thinking of Daiyu, Yongzheng couldn't help but bend the corner of his mouth.

As soon as Yongzheng arrived outside the Kunning Palace, he heard Fang Guiren say, "The imperial concubine's words are wrong, no matter who is favored again, she can't surpass the empress empress—does the empress Hui concubine say so?" went in.

"The emperor is here—!"

The concubines in the inner room couldn't help being shocked, this was the first time the emperor came to Kunning Palace during the morning meeting.

"Concubines/concubines respectfully welcome Sheng An."

"No gift, get up."

Yongzheng strode up to the top, sat next to the queen, looked at Fang Guiren, and said indifferently, "I heard Fang Guiren's voice outside the door, what did Fang Guiren say, so lively? Why are there still Concubine Hua and Hui Hui?" What about my concubine?"

Mrs. Fang couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive when she heard the words, "Concubine..."

The other low-ranking concubines were a little gloating, the queen glanced at Concubine Hui, who was holding the tea bowl, and thought about countless things in her mind, and said, "It's nothing more than some jokes between daughters and concubines. The concubine is just joking with Concubine Hui. If you say that, nobleman Fang admits the truth—don’t take your concubine and concubine Hui to heart.”

Daiyu hurriedly said, "Concubines don't dare."

"The courtiers and concubines are not of that caring nature," Hua Guifei stared at Fang Guiren, "but Fang Guiren's outspoken temperament needs to be changed, otherwise it will be bad if one day he offends the empress."

The queen was still tolerant, "You don't care about me, so how can you punish her? Noble Fang is just a slip of the tongue."

"That's all." Yongzheng didn't pursue anything, he stared at Concubine Hui's slightly frail figure and spoke softly, "I see that your body is a little thin, but what's wrong?"

Daiyu sat upright and replied, "The concubine came here
