Yongzheng period

family dinner.

Baohe hall is brightly lit inside and outside, and the lights are like daylight.All the nobles in the palace came to the banquet, and Yongzheng sat alone at the head. He wanted to place Daiyu as the empress, but he was declined, and eventually he was demoted to sit at the head of all the concubines.

On the left are the concubines in the harem, except for Concubine Gong and Wei Guiren who are sick and leave, and the concubines who are pregnant are absent and unable to attend the banquet; on the right are Princess Duanmin and Prince Luo Buzanggunpo, Princess Duanmin is still next to each other An eleven or two-year-old Mongolian girl and Concubine Xuan who was born under the Mongolian Army Banner.

As soon as Princess Duanmin returned to Beijing, she asked An Zhezi to see the concubine, and she asked Concubine Xuan to accompany her at the banquet.Yongzheng vaguely guessed Princess Duanmin's plan, and simply followed her way.

The banquet to receive Mongolian clan relatives is nothing more than exchanging greetings.Princess Duanmin has become the head of the Horqin Left Middle Banner because of her noble status and unambiguous words, and she is the only one in Horqin.After several questions and answers between Yongzheng and Luobu Zanggunbu, they were at a loss for words. The protagonist of this banquet was Princess Duanmin after all.

After drinking for three rounds, Princess Duanmin stood up and made a toast, "With this festive banquet, I wish the emperor a peaceful dragon body, day lilies and long spring, and also wish the emperor and the imperial concubine a deep love."

She is over [-] years old this year, but she is in good spirits and does not look old.It was a rare low profile to deliberately elevate the imperial concubine during the conversation, and it was afraid that there was something to ask for.

Yongzheng already had a plan in mind, and he only said some occasional words and greeted him warmly, "I see that the princess is radiant, and her body is not bad? After a long time, when I first saw the princess, I was only a six-foot child."

"Thanks to the protection of the royal family, everything is fine." Duan Min saw that Yong's positive expression seemed to be quite happy, and then turned the topic to the Mongolian girl she brought, "In a flash, this palace is also a Ukuma mother. For future generations, I have to brazenly ask the emperor for a favor."

Yongzheng smiled, "Princess, you are being polite. I wonder if it is He Endian?"

"It's not a big deal, I just want to ask the emperor to take pity on me, and take my great-grandson to the palace to raise, and I don't dare to bother you ladies. I think that Concubine Xuan is very good." Duan Min pulled the Mongolian girl's hand hands, with a kind face.

As soon as this remark came out, all the concubines present were on edge: Wouldn't it be logical to keep such a charming little girl in the palace and wait another three to five years? !

For a moment, everyone looked at Princess Duanmin with unfriendly eyes.

Concubine Xuan didn't expect so much. She lived in obscurity in the harem all her life, and after Kangxi's death, she was canonized as a concubine because of her status in compensation.Old and empty, she was naturally happy to have a Mongolian Ge Ge in the palace, and immediately expressed her willingness to raise this Ge Ge as her own daughter.

Yongzheng rubbed his wine glass without saying a word, and Daiyu's expression was not good-looking, and he was about to overturn a jar of old vinegar in his heart.

Yongzheng glanced at the pink-faced Mongolian Gege, he had no intention of entering the harem at all, he was just worried about how to deal with it.Counting Princess Duanmin as his 'Four Masters and One Party', now Prince Jian is from the lineage of Yabu, who is Princess Duanmin's disrespectful younger brother.Later, Yabu's son, Yarjiang A Xijue, got close to Sunu of the Baye Party, and Princess Duanmin even remembered the old eighth.Among all the brothers, she was close to Yongzheng.

Yongzheng thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Gege is cute, why not be educated in the palace? I remember that the eighth brother and sister were raised in the Empress Dowager Xiaohui's palace at the beginning, and it is a good story that the first emperor bestowed marriage to the eighth brother. .”

Princess Duanmin didn't want her great-grandson to be the daughter-in-law of the clan, but the current situation is not a good place to talk about it in detail, so she had to suppress her thoughts and get up to thank her.

A family banquet with ghosts in each other's minds came to a successful conclusion.

*

In this draft, a girl from the Mongolian army banner has been selected, which relieves Yongzheng's embarrassment.In the end, Princess Duanmin finally let go. This Mongolian Gege is the daughter of Princess Duanmin's other son Tsewangdorji. Her name is Uxiha, which means "star" in Manchu.

Yongzheng decreed that he be named Dorogege, and he was raised under the name of the imperial concubine in name, and was still educated by Concubine Xuan.Wu Xiha is eleven years old this year, which is about the same age as San Gege, and Wen Yi has an extra companion.

With a decree, the atmosphere among the concubines suddenly blossomed. After all, Daiyu was the tacit empress of the Sacred Heart of Yongzheng, and there was no reason for the middle palace to raise concubines for the emperor.As for whether this honorable Mongolian Gege will be assigned to the prince or the clan in the future, Princess Xuan will have to worry about it.

Changchun Palace

"Minister Ezhe, Fucha Yixin, Minister of Sanzhi, sixteen years old, canonized as a fifth-rank 'noble person'..." Daiyu murmured while holding the booklet, "This Fucha family has some impressions, from the second rank The military officer's daughter has a brilliant family."

Zijuan said on the sidelines, "There are many daughters in this draft. I remember that there is also a nobleman in the Hanjun Banner. His father is a third-rank Jeju co-leader; there is also Zhen Changzai, the daughter of Dali Temple Shaoqing. Although she is a fourth-rank , but Dali Temple is also in charge of real power.”

"Shen Meizhuang and... Zhen Huan?" Daiyu thought of Concubine Duan's subtle attitude towards the Zhen family, so she kept her eyes open, "Can the booklet be sent to Jingyang Palace? What did the concubine say?"

"The imperial concubine seems to be very courteous to Zhen Changzai," Zijuan was amazed, "I heard that the imperial concubine wanted to persuade the emperor to make the Zhen family a nobleman, but the Han army flag is not easy to produce two noblemen, plus Zhen's father has a lower official position than Shen Guiren, so he was dismissed by the emperor."

"Forget it, don't worry about her." Daiyu's armor crossed the gold foil and stopped on the name of a beautiful girl, "The head of the Sixth Division of the Metropolitan Procuratorate gave An Lingrong to Anbihuai in the matter, and she was registered as the seventh grade." '...how does this palace remember that when she was drafted, her father's official position was a fifth grade?"

"It's also a coincidence that after the emperor's position was determined, it coincided with the evaluation of officials, and Mrs. An was promoted to the fourth rank." Zijuan explained, "In this way, the position of Miss Anxiu is lower. According to the meaning of the emperor, after entering the palace, give him a title to show his gratitude."

"This is very appropriate." Daiyu closed the booklet and leaned back on the soft cushion, "Has the Emperor sent someone here?"

Zijuan tidied up the table and said, "Your Majesty has a lot of government affairs today. I'm afraid he's still discussing with several princes, so he hasn't slept yet. I just sent Mr. Xia to inform me, saying that it might not be when it will be over, so I will I rested in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and told my empress not to wait."

"Alright," Daiyu suddenly remembered something, and asked Zijuan, "I remember Wei Guiren in the side hall has been ill for a long time, why is he still not recovering?"

"The servant asked specifically, and the imperial doctor said that he was just frightened, and he could just prescribe some eye-catching and refreshing medicine for recuperation." Zijuan said, "... I heard from Tao Hong, who served Wei Guiren, that it was a cat raised by the House of Internal Affairs at night. I ran out and was shocked."

"Then I'll send some more medicine over there, so please feel relieved." Daiyu closed her eyes and rubbed her temples tiredly, "Remove my makeup."

"Yes."

In a blink of an eye, the newly registered concubines are about to enter the palace at the end of October. Concubine Duan divided the palaces by herself and then went to Changchun Palace to report to the imperial concubine.

In the sound of the little eunuch's announcement, Xueyan led Concubine Duan into the palace, and it was no surprise to see Yongzheng sitting in front of the soft couch, talking homely with Concubine Huang.The two were very close, and they were very warm.

"The concubine pays respects to the emperor, and the empress of the imperial concubine Jin An."

Yongzheng waved his hand to signal her to stand up, and Daiyu saw Jixiang holding the booklet at a glance, and said knowingly, "Is this the allocation of the palace where the new concubines live?"

"Yes," Concubine Duan said slowly, "My concubine made a draft first, in case there is anything wrong, I came here to give advice."

"Sister Guifei is so polite," Daiyu said with a smile, "My elder sister has higher qualifications than my younger sister, and she always convinces others in her actions. It is my younger sister who should learn from her."

Concubine Duan pursed her lips and smiled humbly, "Accordingly, the imperial concubine is the same as the deputy queen, you are the master, and the concubine is the slave. The order of the master and slave is the rule. Naturally, such a big event should be given to you."

Daiyu wanted to argue with her, but Yongzheng interjected indifferently, holding the beads in his hand, "Knowing the etiquette and keeping the etiquette, having the means but not going too far, is a rare thing for a noble concubine like you."

"...Concubine, thank the emperor for your compliment." Concubine Duan twitched the corners of her lips. She could not get any favors from Concubine Huang in front of Yongzheng, so she simply put her thoughts away and signaled auspiciousness, "Let's talk."

"Yes." Auspicious opened the brochure, "Fucha nobles from the Manchu army are living in the Yonghe Palace with a white flag; Xitara with a blue flag from the Manchu army promised to live in Jingren Palace; Borjigit noblemen from the Mongolian army with a red flag live in Changchun Palace; Shen Guiren of the Army Xianghuang Banner lives in Xianfu Palace; Han Army Zhenglan Banner Zhen Chang lives in Jingyang Palace; Han Army Zhenghong Banner Xia Chang lives in Yonghe Palace; Han Army Xianglan Banner An promised to live in Chuxiu Palace."

Concubine Duan said, "Concubine Gong is sick, Concubine Xi is still pregnant, and there is no newcomer in the palace, what does the emperor think of this distribution?"

Yongzheng nodded, "You're thinking very well, but it's rare to have a concubine with the Mongolian army flag in the palace. The nobleman Borzigit will go to the Zhongcui Palace. In addition, I remember the time when the Wei family in your side hall Always sick day by day?"

He had just complied with Princess Duanmin's wishes, always caring for the concubine of the Mongolian Army Banner, but this last sentence was for Daiyu.

"I was frightened by the doctor's words, and I'm always in a bad mood. It's not a serious problem." Daiyu peeled off a chestnut and put it in Yongzheng's hand with a smile.

"Then move to Xianfu Palace as well, in case one day passes by, it will be bad." Yongzheng frowned, "Since she left your palace, it would not be in vain for her to move again after giving her a reward." You have lived in the palace for so many years."

After listening to this, Daiyu responded, and smiled at Concubine Duan, "I just thought about it, Jingyang Palace is rarely lively this time, there are eight elder brothers and newcomers staying there."

When Yongzheng heard the words, his face was light, and he said casually, "That's the Zhen family? I have some impressions of her father, who tried the case of the Nian family.
