Chapter 76 Returning Home
Author: Mei Xinyuan
As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet ended, Haifeng immediately went to find his mother.
Almost a month passed, and she wanted to know how Ji Lan was doing, and whether it was as Xiaozhuang promised her, safe and comfortable, and no one could hurt her.
When Sister Sai Lun said that her mother was in Yikun Palace, Haifeng was very surprised.
In her previous life, her aunt, Concubine Yi, and her mother had a falling out because of a fight for favor, and they never interacted with each other until they died.
Six years later, because she wanted to marry Mobei, her mother was at a loss and had to come to her aunt in person to apologize. The two sisters finally settled their differences and their relationship became even better than before.
When Concubine Yi sent Haifeng away, she shed a lot of tears and sincerely repented, saying that she shouldn't have been so mean in the past few years.
Maybe this is family. As long as there is still a little room left in the heart, there is always a glimmer of hope to look back.
It's also good, so that when the mother leaves the palace, she won't be left with any regrets.
Ji Lan had been waiting at the gate of the palace. Haifeng saw her from a distance on the sedan chair, her eyes were sore but she didn't dare to cry.
Shedding tears easily is not allowed in the palace. It is said to be a taboo, but I don't know what taboo it is.
"Enie, Niuniu is back."
"Well, come in quickly and have some snacks."
It's great that my mother always knows when she's not full.
At the banquet, you have to chew a peanut for about thirty times, and you have to chew it slowly, so Haifeng simply doesn't eat it, which can save the energy of pretending.
"Are Enie staying in the side hall of Yikun Palace these days?"
"No, because you are coming and the place where I live is too remote and small, your aunt will clean it up again and lend it to me."
Jilan tidied her daughter's hair on her temples and asked hesitantly:
"Niuniu, the Empress Dowager told me that you want Enie to leave the palace and go home? Why do you think so? What should you do if Enie is not here? Who will take care of you?"
Hai Feng quickly swallowed the honey-soaked lychee in his mouth.
"Enie, don't worry about me for now. Just say, do you want to go home?"
Ji Lan squeezed the silk handkerchief in her hand and pondered for a long time, then Fang nodded slightly.
"Of course I do. The palace is not the place I should stay."
Regarding this point, Haifeng, who has lived his life again, fully agrees.
Kangxi was a very face-conscious person.
But privately, he also wants to be submissive.
He liked having his mother by his side very much, but he couldn't let her get a promotion.
My mother had always been an untitled nobleman during her lifetime, and the funeral ceremony after her death was careless and careless.
She took the place of the second princess and went to Mobei to get married. In order to provide her with gold, Kangxi once considered whether to make his mother a concubine. However, he was fiercely opposed by the ministers.
Because the feudal dross culture of "chaste women" is so deep-rooted, Kangxi even issued decrees to commend many of them.
There is no point in enduring this kind of hard work when there is no future ahead.
It is better to go out, even if there is no way to remarry, it is better than being looked down upon by others here every day.
Hai Feng took out the Maple Leaf Seal hidden in his purse and showed it to his mother.
"Enie, Niuniu has a name. Khan Ama gave it to her. From now on, you can call me Feng'er."
"Is such a good seal a reward from the emperor?"
"Yes, because I can write well, Khan Amma was very happy and even said that he would like to hire a female gentleman to teach me how to read."
Jilan rubbed the warm stone and felt proud.
"Feng'er is so amazing."
"Enie, although Feng'er is not with you these days, I often think of you. Do you miss me, Enie?"
"Of course I do. I'm always worried that you are not doing well, that you are not used to Mongolian food, or that you are too cold to sleep without a good quilt."
"We are not together, but we still miss each other in our hearts. Even if Enie is not in the palace and not with Feng'er, we still miss each other, isn't it the same?"
"How can it be the same? Although I'm not allowed to see you often now, there are always several opportunities to meet you every year!"
Haifeng has a lot of plans for the future.
Once she leaves the Forbidden City and goes to Mobei to open her own mansion, she can take her mother to live with her.
It was a big deal for a concubine to leave the palace, and no one except Xiaozhuang could suppress Kangxi and force him to agree.
But Xiaozhuang died in three years.
In front of her, Imperial Concubine Tong was about to fall into a trap. She couldn't miss the opportunity, and she would never come back.
She must try her best.
"Originally, there was no way to ask mother to go home directly. That would make everyone known. Our ancestors made an agreement with Princess Shuhui and asked her to arrange a place to live. Mother would go to Bahrain to live for a few years. Waiting for Khan Ama's anger to subside.
, and then think about the next thing. Feng'er will find a way to visit you, and Princess Shuhui also comes to Beijing from time to time, so there is always a way to find opportunities."
Ji Lan was a little relaxed, but still couldn't bear it down.
"Feng'er, Enie wants to tell you something."
"Okay, I'm listening."
"Although I don't know whether the child in Enie's belly is a boy or a girl yet, it will definitely not grow up in the future."
"Oh, why did Enie say such depressing words!"
"No, I know it best. When I was pregnant with you, this was not the case at all. Although you were a bit lazy, you were very energetic every time you moved. This child doesn't move very much and is still weak."
Haifeng doesn't want her mother to have unrealistic illusions.
More expectation, more disappointment.
She did not continue to enlighten.
"About the emperor, Enie doesn't understand external matters. I only understand things between men and women. He... forget it, you will understand once you are married."
Haifeng can understand what her mother is saying.
She said a few words to Garzang, and Dobu was so angry that he jumped up and down.
"If Enie leaves the palace, he will never allow me to marry another man. Then, you will be my only child. You are only a little bit old, how can I leave you alone in the palace?"
"The Empress Dowager is in charge of me, don't you worry about Enie?"
"That, that's different."
"Where's my aunt? Aren't you worried about her and Enie?"
Jilan knew that her sister was not a black-hearted person.
She just loves the emperor too much and sometimes loses her mind.
But how could the emperor really love a concubine? In his heart, there was only Queen Hesheli.
Therefore, my younger sister is always frustrated, and when her coquettish energy gets stronger, she gets into trouble from time to time.
"Your aunt may have to rely on you to take care of her in the future. Your grandfather spoiled her rotten. She has no idea about everything. I really don't trust her. She is about to give birth to a third child.
I am still a child."
Haifeng felt that her mother's thinking had entered a dead end, and she didn't want to get out, so forcing her to do so was useless.
It's better to lie.
As long as she goes out, she can't come back.
The wood has become a boat.
"Then, Feng'er and E-nie make a bet! If I win, E-nie will leave the palace; if you win, we will stay."
"What kind of bet is this?"
Haifeng just lay down and whispered in her mother's ear.
"You kid, what are you talking about? How is this possible?"
"Then, are you willing to bet?"
"Of course. It's a matter of no shadow."
"Okay, Eni, don't lie to anyone, let's high-five as an oath."
Jilan generously agreed with her daughter by giving her three high fives.
If this really comes true, then of course she can leave the palace with confidence.
"Without further delay, let's go find our aunt!"
"what?"
"Ask her for help!"
I’m worried that you may think the plot here is outrageous, so I’ll briefly explain.
Jilan's prototype, Guo Guiren, the biological mother of the fourth princess, has no place in Kangxi's mausoleum.
At the same time, in the tomb of her natal family in Shenyang, according to folklore, there was a queen from the Kangxi Dynasty.
The theory that she entered the palace as a widow is also untrue.
The fourth princess was later granted the title of Princess Gulun, and she married Mobei. Logically speaking, her biological mother should have been granted a title or posthumous title. This was a common practice, but Guo Guiren received nothing, which was unreasonable.
Of course, there is no reliable historical data that can tell us what exactly happened.
I hope she can get a better ending, so I arranged it this way.
