Seek peace of mind

Yuquan Mountain is named after its spring water. "The water is clear and blue, as clear as jade." This place is obviously not far from the Forbidden City, but I don't know how. The water in Yuquan Mountain is clear and sweet, but the water in Beijing is bitter and hard to swallow.

, so the water and food in the palace are all water from Yuquan Mountain. Every morning in the early morning, when Xizhimen opens, the first to come in are the teams delivering water from Yuquan Mountain to the palace.

There is a daily quota of water for each person. The Long Live Lord has fifty cans per day. Although the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are senior, they cannot surpass the Emperor, so they only have forty cans per day, and the Queen Mother has twenty cans.

As for the female concubines in the harem below, there are even fewer. For those with a status like Yu Lian, and the fourth elder brother's share is only ten cans a day. If they only drink tea and water, there will be nothing left. And further down, there will be even more.

Searched.

The Queen Mother is certainly not short of water, but there is no living water as good as the jars of stagnant water. At least you don't have to worry about water anymore when you get to Yuquan Mountain.

Besides, this place is surrounded by mountains and water, so since the Liao and Jin Dynasties, emperors have built official summer residences here. Last year, when Emperor Kangxi was repairing Changchun Garden, he saw that Yuquan Mountain was close, so he asked people to repair it together.

The Chengxinyuan above is really a good place to stay for now. Although the place is smaller, it is enough for a harem with so many female dependents.

Seeing the Empress Dowager's move, Concubine Tong Jia struck while the iron was hot: "The Chengxin Garden was originally good. When Long Live Lord ordered people to repair it, he not only asked people to expand the palace, but also ordered craftsmen to build an additional temple nearby.

.”

"The abbot of the temple specially invited Master Guanjing, the eldest disciple of Abbot Puhui. Long Live the Lord did not stop the people around him from fetching water and offering incense. Now I heard that he has become quite famous. It is quite effective to pray for a child.

Yes, there are many people who come and go to fulfill their wishes."

As soon as she heard this, the Empress Dowager became very interested. She had been practicing Buddhism quietly in recent years and felt a lot of enlightenment. She came to Changchun Garden to escape the summer heat, but it didn't seem to be any cooler than the Forbidden City. Instead, it was not as cool as the Forbidden City.

She only feels that there are many inconveniences in the Buddhist hall. It is hot now and she can't calm down. It would be good if she could discuss Buddhism with the little master Guan Jing.

Besides, this prayer for a child should be taken seriously. It is for the safety of the two little babies in Yuxiang Yudai's belly, and for the hope of the child in front of me. Not to mention the matter of spreading branches and leaves, just Tong

Jia's body is really bad.

Little did Imperial Concubine Tong Jia know that the Empress Dowager still had concerns about her, so she only elaborated on her plans.

"I thought that the fifth elder brother was not in good health when he was born. In addition to taking good care of him, it would also be good if he could ask Master Guanjing to pray for him. Just like our fourth elder brother, he was proud to be blessed by Puhui.

Jade Buddha, let alone being sick or in pain, I have never even coughed."

"You are so shameless that the Ai family is so shameless. First you said you were going to Xiangshan, and then you said you were going to Yuquan Mountain. The people below don't know how to accuse this old lady of being difficult to take care of! Every time you show up, you have to borrow the Ai family's old face.

But, when will our Lingyi grow up?"

Apart from other things, Nala Gui and Fifth Brother's bodies are absolutely immune to any mistakes. Therefore, they will not ask her mother and son to follow them when they go to Yuquan Mountain. The manpower must be arranged well, and they cannot be neglected.

Gone.

The Empress Dowager nodded repeatedly, already agreeing with the imperial concubine's plan in her heart: "That's right. If there was no child, Balshan also said that he would take Yudai on a northern tour. Having this child would make the two of them happy.

I feel lost again, but I don’t know what to do.”

Concubine Tong Jia was in a trance at the sound of Ling Yi's cry, as if she was suddenly brought back to the carefree days ten years ago. She had always felt that the Empress Dowager was dissatisfied with her, so who knew?

Seeing such a smile on someone's face and being called such an affectionate name, Concubine Tong Jia suppressed her emotion and held the hand of the Empress Dowager, looking as charming and naive as she did when she was a child.

"Right now, Yudai is only five months old. It's a time when she feels comfortable. It's hard for her to move around after having a bowel movement. Taking her to Yuquan Mountain this time can make up for the previous regret. You should pay more attention to this matter.

We go to Yuquan in advance and stay for a few more days, so that we can do whatever we want in the garden."

I answered the same question as I did when I was a child, and I still answer it the same way now. It's just that things are right and people are different, and when I say this again, I always feel a little at a loss.

Yes, even though she had only been in the palace for a few years, she still pretended to be a noble concubine every day and calculated the gains and losses. She had long forgotten what a pure imperial ritual looked like. No matter how similar it was in appearance, it was not the same in spirit

.

Concubine Tong Jia then responded with a smile: "Concubine, please don't worry, it's just that this matter is in charge of sister Xi, and my talkative talk has made my sister busy for a few days in vain. Besides, you also know what I am like.

I'm afraid I'm not strong enough, so I still want to ask Sister Xi for help, but I'm embarrassed to ask for help."

How could the Empress Dowager not know that Concubine Tong Jia was trying to use her power to fight Concubine Xi? Although she was unwilling to intervene, she had approved the trip to Yuquan Mountain, so she could not say anything for Concubine Tong Jia.

It was nothing, I just joked immediately.

"Furthermore, I want to make sure that Sister De and Mrs. De are safe for the birth. Let's not talk about Sister De, but Yudai. You can see how the father-in-law is looking forward to the child. Sister Fan Yudai frowned.

He was so panicked that something was wrong with Yu Dai and the child. Now that the father-in-law has entrusted Yu Dai to us, we should reassure the father-in-law."

The Empress Dowager is as smart as a demon, how can she not feel what Concubine Tong Jia is thinking, but in this deep palace, we live together day by day, and nothing remains the same, so why should she be comforted because of this loss?

He patted the back of Concubine Tong Jia's hand and took the other one away.

"Lingyi is still young, so I just want you to protect me. When Lingyi grows up, you won't have to worry about anything anymore,,,,,,,"

Concubine Tong Jia was worried, and she would not forget the mother and son, so she said that she planned to leave Eunuch Xiao to be driven by the noble Nala. The Empress Dowager ordered Chunbai again, and together with Eunuch Xiao, they took people to look after them.

, thinking about it, there is nothing to worry about.

After finalizing some details, Concubine Tong Jia left. She didn't have time to wait here to see Concubine Xi's face after knowing the news. Since she invited the Empress Dowager to come forward, she would be less hated.

This is to win the game, there is no need to take advantage and behave well.

After all, there will still be a place for Concubine Xi to do things for her, and the superficial harmony can be maintained.

Concubine Xi obeyed the order and went to the Empress Dowager's house. She was really unhappy when she came back. Yu Yan had been paying attention to Wei Qi. Someone said that Concubine Xi was so angry that she threw a tea set. She was so happy that she had a midnight snack.

Also with Yudai and Chunxi, I used an extra bowl.
