"Why is she here?" Mrs. Juechan couldn't help but be surprised when she heard that Zhang promised to come. After all, these nobles brought the children to play in a generous manner, and everyone in the palace saw it. Zhang promised to come with this.
When the time comes, isn't she afraid that Concubine Yi will think too much?
While I was talking, I saw the beautiful figure coming over there. The other sharp-eyed palace maids also saw it, and they all said to their master: "Zhang promised to come."
Wan Liuha raised his eyes and saw her, and said to Bu Guiren and Dai Guiren beside him: "It's been a long time since I took a good look at her. She used to be fine in Jingyang Palace, but now she's just like a stranger."
But seeing Mrs. Zhang Jia walking in the snow, her bright clothes swaying, her posture as a beloved concubine, her face was already good-looking, and it has grown longer and longer over the years. As early as when she was in Changchun Garden, she said that she was learning
Looking at Mr. Zen's attire now, he does look a bit like a noble Zen man.
Everyone was above her, and when they saw her bowing politely, Wen Xian happened to run over with his younger brothers and sisters. Brother Thirteen ran so fast that he fell into the snow, but the little one didn't cry and just rolled in the snow.
The crowd was giggling, and Zhang Wenwen's face was full of joy. She subconsciously wanted to reach out and hug the child, but Princess Rongxian suddenly ran over, picked up her brother without any explanation, glanced at Zhang Jia with disdain, turned and walked away.
.
Zhang promised that her status was low, and the princess brother did not have to treat her politely when he saw her. If Chunxi was quiet, the nobleman could still say a few words, but Princess Rongxian is the daughter of Concubine Rong, and it is not their turn to take care of her. See
Mrs. Zhang Jia watched her children go away with disappointment. They were all mothers, so she couldn't bear it.
Dai Guiren was gentle and kind, and said softly: "If my sister wants to see Brother Thirteen in the future, she just needs to go to Yonghe Palace more often."
Zhang promised to look at her, lowering his eyes and saying nothing.
Nobleman Juechan winked at Nobleman Bu. Nobleman Bu understood and said that the girls had gone somewhere. He asked the sisters to follow them and take a look. He came up and pulled Dai Gui and Wan Changzai. They didn't know how to deal with Zhang Jia.
When he spoke, everyone simply left.
The surrounding area suddenly became clear, and Noble Master Jue Chan said, "Let's go over there and have a look. Brother Thirteen is right there."
Zhang agreed and nodded, then walked slowly behind the noble Jue Chan, and then she heard the noble man ask her softly: "Why are you here now?"
"In Yikun Palace, I heard that the nobles were taking my elder brother and princess to play in the snow in the garden. Concubine Yi said that I have been sick for so long, so it’s okay to go out and walk around. On the thirteenth day of the month, my elder brother’s birthday is nothing to do with me.
My son, the child is already two years old, let me come and take a look." Zhang promised softly, "In this matter, because of the fifth elder brother, she is quite understanding."
"Yifei is not really a bad person. She is just too mercenary and can easily be coaxed into doing things against her will." Noble Master Juechan responded softly and asked again, "Why are you so sick when you are fine? Empress Defei is very worried, but Yikun
During the period when the emperor was in the palace, she was afraid of causing trouble, so she could only ask if you were okay every day, for fear that you were being abused by Concubine Yi."
"Nothing..." Zhang promised in a voice like a mosquito moan.
"Did something happen?"
"Don't ask." Zhang promised suddenly, as if he was anxious, but after saying that, he felt a little regretful. Jue Chan turned his face to look at her, and saw that the man who was fine just now had red eyes, which was obviously not caused by the wind. He paused for a moment.
He stopped and frowned, "Did she abuse you?"
Zhang agreed and shook his head, sniffed to stop himself from crying, and continued to move forward. She only had time to see her thirteenth brother. Now that she was taking care of Wen Ke in Yikun Palace every day, she missed her son even more.
Seeing that she was silent, Mrs. Juechan glanced at Xianghe beside her. Xianghe was much more motivated now. When her master walked away, she smiled and pulled up Xiaoyu and said, "Your hands are really cold. I
There is a new camel hair jacket in the house, I will give it to my sister to wear later."
After a few words, Xianghe talked to Xiaoyu, and everyone here followed the children to the depths of the garden. The children were playing like crazy, but Princess Rongxian seemed to be deliberately asking Pei Yingzhang to agree, and kept holding Ten
The third elder brother refused to let go, and several nobles couldn't bear it. Seeing her looking directly at the thirteenth elder brother, they were very pitiful.
Afterwards, Mrs. Zhangjia left first, and after the party dispersed, Princess Duanjing's shoes and socks were all wet, and the Bu nobles had to take care of their daughter. Only Mrs. Juechan hugged her thirteenth brother and returned to Yonghe Palace with other wet nurses and maids.
Concubine Shi De had just returned from Ningshou Palace. She had been talking to the Queen Mother for a long time, and her face was full of fatigue.
The children were tired from playing, and when they came back to warm the stove in the house, they all felt sleepy. Seeing that the little ones were sleeping unsteadily, Lan Qi thanked Jue Chan: "I haven't had the energy to accompany them these days, it's all thanks to you."
"Sisters are idle when they are idle." Noble Master Jue Chan didn't care, and sat outside drinking tea with Lan Qi. Seeing that Concubine De was rubbing her forehead, she asked with concern, "The weather has changed suddenly, the empress should take care of herself."
Lan Qi nodded and responded: "I'm tired, just take a rest. My jaw is sore after talking for a long time."
Noble Jue Chan said softly: "No wonder Yi Fei was so happy to recommend her. Zhang promised that she was free in the palace these days, even if she was lying in a daze, she was happy. She said that doing nothing is a blessing. Who cares about the affairs in the palace?
It’s all the same, as long as she doesn’t lack food and clothing from Yikun Palace.”
Lan Qi raised her eyes and asked, "Have you met Xing'er?"
Jue Chan nodded and told what happened in the imperial garden. His voice became lower and lower, and he told Lan Qi what Xiang He had dug out of Xiao Yu's mouth. Lan Qi was holding a bowl of tea in her hand, but she could only hear the lid of the tea bowl.
Rubbing the rim of the cup continuously, she finally put the tea bowl heavily on the table, and Master Juechan hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down."
"Too much bullying." Lan Qi was heartbroken. She never thought that Concubine Yi would do such a dirty thing. Fortunately, Xuan Ye never touched her. If Xuan Ye wanted to, could Zhang really agree to come in and serve her?
It turned out that Xiaoyu secretly told Xianghe that since Long live Lord often went to Yikun Palace, every night when the emperor came, Concubine Yi asked Zhang to take off her clothes and wait outside the palace, so that she could be ready for the long live Lord to serve at any time. But the emperor never touched her.
After visiting the Empress Yi Fei, their master always waited until midnight before going back to rest. Being tired was the second most important thing. Every time, he felt terrified. As time went by, he became sick even when he was not sick, and because of his illness, Concubine Yi was no longer there.
He asked her to wait outside the door and refused to do anything.
"If Concubine Yi hadn't said harsh words to drive her away, I'm afraid she would have preferred to remain ill." Mrs. Juechan sighed, "At first, I just thought that Xing'er was loyal to the empress. Who would have thought that she would be so loyal?
Even if the knife is held to her neck, she won't blink."
Lan Qi's eyes were filled with tears. Now that the Empress Dowager was gone, Concubine Hui was so lonely that she couldn't get up for a while, and she also officially started to take care of the affairs of the Sixth Palace. Even if they would make trouble in the future, she really couldn't keep Myolie in the tiger's den.
In the wolf's den, just as Xuan Ye said, if anything happened, she would be sorry for the rest of her life.
Jue Chan reminded calmly: "Is the empress planning to make Zhang agree to leave Concubine Yi? But if you don't do this well, Concubine Yi will hook up with Concubine Hui again after she wakes up."
Lan Qi nodded solemnly: "I will think about it before I act."
At the end of October, the Empress Dowager Shangdaxing honored her with the posthumous title of Empress Xiaozhuang Renxuanchengxiangongyi Tianqi Shengwen, referred to as Empress Xiaozhuang Wen. She was promoted to the Imperial Ancestral Temple and issued imperial edicts at home and abroad. In the blink of an eye, it was the twelfth lunar month, the anniversary of the death of Empress Xiaozhuang Wen.
They also built the Fuling Mausoleum and Zhaoling Mausoleum, and built the stele of holy virtues and merits, the imperial inscriptions, and the solemn sacrifices and mourning that lasted until New Year's Eve.
It was New Year's Eve that year, and the emperor ordered that no extravagant celebrations should be made except for various sacrificial rituals. Therefore, the festive atmosphere in the palace was not as festive as in previous years. However, compared with the previous years, the palace was not as desolate as the whole palace. There was a slight movement between the palaces in private.
, and by this time next month, the emperor should already be on his southern tour. So far, he has not mentioned anything except that he will take Concubine Yi southward. Everyone is looking forward to getting a chance to accompany her, and everyone is watching silently.
On the eve of New Year's Eve, the eldest brother went to the palace and brought a gift from Fujin's mother's family to honor Concubine Hui. Ever since his wife gave birth to a daughter, his mother had always had a bad attitude toward him. She didn't blame her son, but she said it every time they met.
: "You have no way of subduing your wife to honor me. You can always do things behind closed doors, right? It's not that my mother is cruel and I have to push you for the above things. If you count the days, the prince's side Fujin will be there in a year."
When you enter the palace, you may have to choose the crown princess soon after. You are the eldest son of the emperor, and it is you who should give birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor. Do you think we will be anxious until then?"
But today, the eldest brother finally straightened his back a little in front of his mother. The young man was still a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "When I came home after the sacrifice ceremony a few days ago, she said she didn't feel well and asked the doctor to come and see her.
She has been pregnant for a month, but she just gave birth, and the doctor said she might not be able to keep it, so just take it easy."
Concubine Hui was overjoyed. She always felt that she had asked her mother-in-law to train her daughter-in-law well. Although she did not say it clearly in front of her son, she proudly said: "Sooner or later she will be grateful to me." She also warned, "You should be cautious and don't tell other people first.
People, let’s talk about it after the first three months.”
Because he was so happy, he led his son to offer incense and kowtow in the small Buddhist hall of Changchun Palace, hoping that the Buddha would bless his daughter-in-law and give her a grandson this time.
No one knows what the fate of Dafujin will be this time, but another new thing happened in the palace. As New Year's Eve and New Year's Day passed, the palace had begun to prepare for the emperor's southern tour, and the relevant ministers had also gone south to urge the reception.
Recently, Concubine Yi, who was in good health, fell ill. I heard that the soft luggage in her house had been prepared early, but the illness came too violently.
The illness started in the Ningshou Palace on the second day of the lunar month. After the Empress Dowager entertained the concubines for a banquet, I heard that Concubine Yi had vomiting and diarrhea that day. After suffering from this disease in the winter, it was very easy to catch a cold when getting up and sleeping, and her body was exhausted.
, he was immediately infected with cold and fever and was confused, and it took him two or three days to wake up.
That day in Ningshou Palace, all the concubines drank the same wine and ate the same dishes. Only Concubine Yi felt uncomfortable. This matter must not be blamed on the Queen Mother. But when Concubine Yi sobered up and thought about it carefully, she couldn't think of her.
Where did she eat something unclean? The emperor was about to leave on the eighth day of the first lunar month, but now she didn't even have the strength to walk.
As the news that Concubine Yifei fell ill and could not accompany her was spread in the harem with gloating, another incident that brought great glory to the Changchun Palace was lamentable. Two days before leaving, the emperor suddenly decided that this southern tour
