Chapter 41 Chapter 41
After coming out of Yikun Palace, the queen wanted to lead three promoted concubines to pay tribute to the empress dowager. Concubine Chun said to Fucha Qing Banquet: "How about Balin in your palace always exists?"
"She has just entered the palace for a few days, and she came to pay tribute to me every day. She looks quiet and has a simple dress at such a young age and doesn't like gold, silver and jewelry. It's strange."
Because she was curious about the future family background of Concubine Ying, she happened to be assigned to live in her palace again, so Lin Yanyan sent someone to investigate the family background of Balin.
Bahrain often came from Mongolian invaded Red Banner. His father was the commander of the light chariot. His official position was not high and his family background was medium. He was considered a serious bannerman. Although he was a Mongolian, he was not the Mongolian who married Manchu and Mongolia, but the bannerman who had been incorporated.
Lin Yanyan also understood one thing. In the Qing Dynasty, the concubines were divided into two types of Mongolians. One was the Mongolian army flag-men who had already entered the banner. For example, Balin Changzai and Concubine Yu, Balin Chang was born in Mongolia inlaid with red flags, and Concubine Yu was born in Mongolia. These were all banner-men who had already entered the banner, so the two participated in the Eight Banners Selection and the Small Selection into the Palace. The real marriage between Manchu and Mongolia was a marriage with a large tribe like Korqin, such as Borjigit, which was the true Manchu-Mongolian marriage, so modern novels harmed people a lot. The family background of Balin Chang is really not as powerful as the legendary one, just a regular family background of the banner-men.
But Balin often enters the palace, not because of family background, but because of a velvet hairpin and a bland temperament. As for whether this temperament is deliberately to attract the attention of the emperor, or whether Balin often is such a person himself, Lin Yanyan doesn't know.
Concubine Chun: "Baling often dresses here, really looks like Empress Xiaoxian. I don't know if it was deliberately given guidance from experts, or if Balin Changzai likes this."
Lin Yanyan: "Balin often serves as a father, and basically goes to the palace few times, and he can't see the queen. If he really does it intentionally, then he must have been guided by a master. This master can still approach the emperor and Empress Xiaoxian, which is terrible."
Concubine Chun: "Yes, this harem is becoming more and more interesting. Let's wait and see the show."
However, before Balin was in bed, she fell ill. Because she was from her palace, Lin Yanyan hurriedly reported to the queen and asked Physician Shi to treat it. At this time, it happened that the two provinces of Henan and Hebei were severe drought, and the dealer almost died. The emperor was in a bad mood. The Imperial Heaven Supervision also said that there was a master in the palace with the word "deprived water" in his name, which affected the sweet rain from the sky, so he needed to live in a place with water to relieve the drought.
If you think about it carefully, only Balin Chang's name is Pei Xin, which is water or owed. Who has bought the Imperial Heavenly Prison? Lin Yanyan didn't know that the emperor was full of nonsense and thought that the emperor believed it because he was concerned about the people of the two provinces. At the suggestion of the queen, Balin Chang's moves out of Yongshou Palace and live in Jiangxuexuan in the Imperial Garden, so that he can recover from the water.
In this way, Balin often moved into Jiangxuexuan. Although Jiangxuexuan is a small courtyard, the scenery is good. Every spring, crabapple flowers fall like snow, so it is named Jiangxuexuan.
This place takes advantage of Bahrain's character, but Bahrain is often told by the Imperial Heavenly Prison that he can still turn over in the future?
However, Lin Yanyan thought carefully that Balin is the Concubine Ying in the end, and she will definitely turn over. She will not worry about it. After all, she is also the one who ranked among the Concubine in Qianlong's harem. Maybe she will get better and relieve severe droughts in Hebei and Henan provinces. Balin is the Concubine, and she will turn over.
The favored people in the harem were still Lu and Concubine Ling, followed by Concubine Yipin, Concubine Zhe and Concubine Chun. Lin Yanyan said it was right. No matter how many poems the queen arranged, it would have no impact on the layout of the harem. Although Concubine Dai had already served in bed and was still very close to the queen and received unanimous recommendations from the queen and queen, she was also very fond of favor.
When winter was about to begin, good news came from Chengqian Palace. Shu Fei Yehenna met with the piano, which made the empress dowager very happy. After all, Shu Fei was a concubine of the Manchu flag. After so many years of entering the palace, she finally met with the happiness. The empress dowager rewarded Shu Fei with many treasures. Shu Fei also cherished this child very much. Although she has become one of the four concubines for many years, she has always been favored, and it is not easy for this child to come.
Shu Fei also put a lot of effort into this child. The Yehenara family is already noble and lacks nothing. After learning that Shu Fei was pregnant, she sent all the supplements to the palace. Shu Fei wanted to make her child healthy, and the bird's nest was even more flowing and sent to Chengqian Palace. Now any good things can be used in Chengqian Palace.
The queen specifically instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs to give priority to Chengqian Palace and to deliver any supplements to Chengqian Palace as soon as possible and not delay.
This made Lin Yanyan suspicious. The queen would definitely gain a reputation for virtuousness outside. The concubine was pregnant and took good care of her. She also asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to give supplements first. She was just uncontrollable and let Shu Fei keep replenishing nutrition. Shu Fei was different from others and had no symptoms of harm. She was just three months old like someone else’s belly was five months old. As a result, the queen still let Shu Fei keep nourishing her. It was not good to overdose any good thing. Looking at Shu Fei’s round belly, Lin Yanyan probably knew that the tenth prince in history seemed to die prematurely.
Yongshou Palace
Lin Yanyan: "It is not easy to take care of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask for anything. You must first satisfy Chengqian Palace."
Concubine Chun: "It seems like someone has never been pregnant. We have all given birth to a third child and are not so spoiled."
Lin Yanyan: "Shu Fei was young and her first child again, so she was naturally precious. But that day I looked at her belly. Three months were like five months others. She had no symptoms of joy. She could eat everything. The fish, meat and shrimps could be worn in Chengqian Palace. Don't nourish this Shu Fei."
Concubine Chun: "We dare to say that it seems like jealous. If she wants to eat, she will eat it. It is also her suffering when the child is growing up."
Lin Yanyan knew that there was no caesarean section in that era, and that a woman gave birth to a child was a gate of hell. She accidentally saw the King of Hell. Even if she did not die, she would have serious sequelae.
Therefore, most of the concubines who gave birth to children in Qianlong's harem died early, but most of the concubines who did not have children lived long. For example, although Wan Ping, although she had no favor or love, she lived to the age of 92.
Lin Yanyan: "The weather is good today, so why not let's take a walk and go to Jiangxuexuan to see how Balin is always there."
Concubine Chun: "I am just thinking that Balin is often favored when he entered the palace. After all, he is the only show girl selected by the emperor in this Eight Banners Selection. But I didn't expect to be trapped by the severe drought in Henan and Hebei provinces and the Imperial Heaven Supervision. He lives alone in Jiangxuexuan. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has always been worshipping high and low, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to bear today."
Lin Yanyan nodded: "It's winter coming soon. I just went to Jiangxuexuan to see if the charcoal fire and cotton coats for the winter are enough. Balin has lived in Yongshou Palace for a while, and his temperament doesn't seem to be able to imitate Empress Xiaoxian for favor. I believe that wearing velvet hairpins and liking peony is really her nature."
The two imperial concubines went to Jiangxuexuan. Although Jiangxuexuan was not as elegant as the six palaces, the small courtyard was also unique. However, until the two imperial concubines walked into Jiangxuexuan's palace gate, there was no servant guarding him.
Concubine Chun said strangely: "There is also a dowry maid, two palace maids and a eunuch. Moreover, Jiang Xuexuan originally had a palace maid and a nanny in charge of the office. Why is there no one there? It's so deserted."
Lin Yanyan was also surprised, where did the servants go now.
Walking forward again, I saw the nanny of Jiang Xuexuan, Madam Chen, sitting on a rattan chair, while Zi Ning, who was often bachelor of Balin, was standing aside: "Madam Chen, it's winter coming soon. Has the charcoal and cotton coats that we often stayed in?"
Madam Chen looked disdainful: "Of course the charcoal fire and cotton coats in the palace can be used first by the Empress and the Imperial Concubine. And the Empress Shu is pregnant, so of course it is a first batch. You can wait!"
Zi Ning: "But your servants in Jiang Xuexuan have charcoal fire and cotton coats in their houses. We are often there but lack of everything, without charcoal fire and cotton coats. How can we survive this winter? We are always there, and we are also masters. How can you deduct charcoal fire and cotton coats at will!"
Madam Chen: "Master? Look at where your master looks like a master? Where is Jiangxuexuan? A place for people to rest and enjoy. Bahrain is often unknown. It affects the harvest. It is good to survive. Any concubine who doesn't live in the six palaces of the East and West has lived in Jiangxuexuan, so why are she pretending to be a master?"
Zi Ning couldn't help crying: "It's unknown whether we are always here, and the emperor and the queen just let us live here temporarily. We will move back to the place of Concubine Zhe in Yongshou Palace. You always treat Balin like this, and you are not afraid of the queen's punishment!"
Madam Chen predicted that Balin often had no chance of turning around, so she sarcastically said, "Although this Jiangxuexuan is not a cold palace, it is comparable to a cold palace. She is still thinking about returning to Yongshou Palace and dreaming."
Lin Yanyan walked forward: "I really don't know when this harem will be in charge of you, Madam Chen!"
Madam Chen was so scared that she got up from the rattan chair: "There is auspicious for Concubine Zhe, and the4th for Concubine Chun is auspicious for Concubine Chun."
Concubine Chun: "This Jiangxuexuan is a Feng Shui treasure land and a unique courtyard in the Imperial Garden. Concubine Zhe gave birth to the Ninth Prince here, why is it like a cold palace? Moreover, Balin Changzai is a licensed Changzai, and he is also the master. You, a nanny, dare to be disrespectful and say that the master is unknown. You are so tired of living!"
Madam Chen knelt down and begged for mercy: "Concubine Zhe, Concubine Chun, I know my mistake. I will send the charcoal and cotton coat to Balin forever!"
Lin Yanyan: "No need, go to Xinzheku and try the taste of charcoal fire and cotton coats."
Lin Yanyan signaled Guixi, and Guixi asked someone to drag Madam Chen down. Lin Yanyan, also known as Guixi, went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and sent all the charcoal and cotton coats that were often found in Balin.
Concubine Chun said to Zi Ning: "Where are you always here?"
Zi Ning: "Imperial Concubine, come with me!"
