The Nian family has been a family of officials for generations. It is one of the families left over from the former Ming Dynasty and is still able to maintain its reputation. However, because the Han ministers served the new master and faced with the exclusion of the Mongolian clan and the Eight Banners nobles, most of the Han ministers were low-key and cautious.
The same is true for Xia Ling. After working as an official for decades, he relied on carefulness to sail a thousand-year boat. Now when he heard Manager Liang talk about clinging to the emperor's relatives, he couldn't help laughing and said: "All dogs are married, let alone how dare I, a minister of the Han family, dare to cling to the emperor's family."
Golden branches and jade leaves.”
Eunuch Liang smiled and said: "There is also Princess Brother in the palace, who was born to a Han mother-in-law. Now the royal family has Han blood. The emperor's ambition is to set an example for the world by putting his own actions into practice."
.”
Nian Xialing hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, long live benevolence." On the other hand, he said, "It's a pity that the dogs are all married. It's really..."
Halfway through his words, he obviously remembered something. The lovely three-year-old girl in his family is the daughter of the main wife. She is loved by his daughter for her young age. He originally intended to match his beloved daughter to a high-ranking family in the future. If Ru Liang
The father-in-law said that there would indeed be a chance to become a royal relative in the future. He looked at Mr. Liang with a deep smile: "What does the father-in-law mean?"
Eunuch Liang raised his fly whisk lightly and smiled: "Mr. Nian is far away in Huguang, but we must not neglect to teach the eldest lady the etiquette and rules. I have overstepped my bounds in what I have said. Please forgive me."
How could Nian Xialing think that General Manager Liang was overstepping his bounds? It was really not easy for Hanchen families like them to have a place of survival among the Mongolian and Manchu clans. If his daughter could get married to the emperor, the Nian family would be better off.
The next few generations can be sheltered. Although I don’t know how lucky my daughter is and how noble she can be as a royal relative, she is now starting to teach her carefully and not to let her wife randomly propose marriage to her daughter. It’s still too late. And their family is in the Hanjun Banner.
, the daughter of the family cannot marry at will, but before Eunuch Liang asked him to do so, he did not dare to think about any relationship between his daughter and the emperor in the future. Regardless of his age and status, he always felt that it was impossible.
But this time when he went to Beijing to report on his duties, at the same time, the Eight Banners disciples from all over the country escorted the young daughters of the clan to Beijing to be selected. He looked at the girls of various ages, thirteen or fourteen years old, and thought at this moment, if the emperor has favored Han women in recent years, what if
After waiting for eleven or twelve years, even if the daughter is married to the emperor, it is not too late. In this way, I have ideas and visions in my heart, and pave the way for the future of the family. I feel happy and take out a piece of silver from my sleeve.
He secretly handed the ticket to Eunuch Liang and said with a smile on his face: "Eunuch, I took it to buy some wine. If the day comes, I will definitely thank you again for your kindness."
Over here, after Lan Qi and Xuan Ye admired the flowers at Grandma Sumala's place, they dispersed directly in front of her brother's house. She walked all the way back to Yonghe Palace. Now Empress Dowager De was walking on the palace road, nowhere to go.
Don't evade and give way. It's the same road. In the past, when she was Wu Chang, she wouldn't be so prosperous.
Time has passed, and Lan Qi's attitude towards the people and things in front of her has also changed. She has become accustomed to the respect of others. But if it is for herself, it is not necessarily because there are so many elder brothers and princesses from Yonghe Palace.
, for the pride and dignity of her children, she also has to stand tall.
In this draft, the emperor seemed to intend to be promoted to the harem. Concubine Tong stayed in the concubine position for several years. She was to succeed Empress Xiaoyi as the head of the Sixth Palace. Now that she is almost old, it is time for her to be promoted to the position of concubine.
, there must be a serious person in the palace who has the final say, and Lan Qi now has other thoughts about the Tong family.
She had no intention of getting married, but the children grew up as childhood sweethearts, and Wen Xian never left Shun Anyan. The little girl may not have understood it yet, but if someone from another family proposes a marriage for her in the future, she will definitely know that she
What was on her mind? Lan Qi didn't insist on bringing this couple together, she just thought it would be great if she could keep Shun Anyan for her daughter to choose from. She has long been well versed in the sweetness of status and power, and now she can use all of this to make a difference for her daughter.
Children choose the best marriage and future, so why not.
When they returned to Yonghe Palace, Xiao Chen'er came out to welcome her, pestering E Niang and saying, "Sister said that my sister-in-law will carry Hong Hui into the palace tomorrow, so will Hong Hui come?"
"Hongfu has not yet reached his 100th birthday, and Eniang is worried about his coming. My sister-in-law will bring Honghui in. Isn't the imperial grandmother always thinking about him?" Lan Qi walked in holding her daughter's hand, adding that she was still in Changchun in June.
When they were in the garden, Li Zefujin successfully gave birth to a son, first a daughter and then a son, which was a blessing that it would bear fruit. At that time, Lan Qi was idle in the garden, so of course she would express her concern a lot, but in comparison, she seemed
She had neglected Yuxi in the past, but she didn't care so much anymore.
And because Yuxi already had Honghui, since the couple had no intention of doing so, she did not emphasize that she should raise Honghui in the main courtyard. Now Li Fujin is taking care of the child by himself, and is living happily. As for the chattering Song Gege,
It is said that Yinzhen and she are much better than before, probably because they are favored by their husbands, and they are not as showy and trouble-making as before. Their son's family is really complete and happy now.
Xiao Chen'er lay on E Niang's knees, raised her neck and stretched out her face to look at E Niang, frowned and asked, "E Niang, do I still have some pockmarks on my face?"
Lan Qi held her cheek and kissed her again and again, and said softly: "If you kiss me too much, I won't be able to do it. Is it okay for me to draw a little flower on the tip of your eyebrow for you tomorrow so that no one can see it?"
"
The daughter was very happy, but she kept insisting that she wanted to paint now. She was also idle, so she carried her daughter and carefully painted her with rouge and gouache. While the mother and daughter were joking, Lan Qi thought of the man she met outside the Qianqing Palace today.
Mr. Nian called Huan Chun and said, "Your Majesty has arranged a guest for us today. Mrs. Nian, the governor of Huguang, will also come to the palace tomorrow. This is probably her first time entering the palace. If you find the right person, accompany them."
Mother and daughter, there are many rules in the palace, so don’t scare them. After all, they are invited by the emperor, and it won’t look good on anyone if they make a joke.”
Xiao Chen'er asked: "Who is coming?"
Lan Qi simply said: "There is a three-year-old little sister coming tomorrow. Can Chen'er take care of the child for E Niang?"
The daughter nodded seriously and said, "My sister and I took her to play together."
The next day, there was a grand banquet in the palace. Due to the tragedy of the Eleventh Prince last year, every time there is a banquet in the palace now, every happy event is held, and the security everywhere is more solemn and strict. This time, the Fourth Prince took over the errand from the emperor and hurriedly brought it to the palace early in the morning.
After sending his wife and children into the inner palace, he paid his respects to his grandmother, Eniang, and then went about his business.
In her son's house, Li Fujin is now giving birth to children for Yinzhen one after another. Although Lan Qi also feels that she should not treat Li too badly, she does not relent in treating her concubine for the sake of Yuxi. But this time at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, it was Yuxi who requested
It was common for the concubines in other elder brother's houses to accompany Li Fujin into the palace, but only the fourth elder brother's house had strict rules, and the concubines never accompanied them.
For the sake of thinking about Tong, Lan Qi stopped insisting. This was the first time that Mrs. Li had entered the palace since she left the palace with her fourth brother that year. And after she had kowtowed to Concubine De when she first entered, she didn't say anything again.
Opportunity to enter Yonghe Palace. In fact, when she talked to Songge in private, she didn't even know what her mother-in-law looked like.
When Lan Qi was paying homage to Mrs. Li in Yonghe Palace today, she saw that she was steady and generous. She had just given birth and was still a little plump. However, she looked very rich and noble. She really had a blessed face, and her words and deeds were very decent. She couldn't help but feel
He treated others badly, and because he doted on Nian Tong, he was a little more kind to Mr. Li.
Yuan was also worried that Yuxi would feel resentful, but her daughter-in-law was devoted to Honghui. If the Queen Mother had not insisted on meeting her great-grandson today, Lan Qi would not have wanted to force them to bring the child, for fear that Yuxi would be too cautious and sensitive, and for the sake of the child's safety
She made a joke in front of others. Fortunately, after nearly half a year of nursing, Yuxi's body and temper have softened. She is the gentle and generous Sifujin in the past, but she is indeed more nervous than ordinary people when it comes to her children.
There was a banquet in Ningshou Palace, and there were many female relatives. Although the emperor ordered Lan Qi to take care of his young wife, there were many more noble and decent Mrs. Fujin at the banquet. She was so energetic and well-rounded. At this moment, she suddenly thought of the Nian family.
When mother and daughter were together, Huan Chun pointed to the side where Lan Ying was sitting and said with a smile: "You are so busy, I asked Ying Fujin to take care of you."
Lan Qi felt relieved and praised Huan Chun: "You are still careful."
Huan Chun added: "Miss Nian went to play with the princesses, and the maids followed a large group of people. The fourth brother is in charge of the security of the palace today. Everything will be fine."
Lan Qi smiled and said: "Your fourth brother is too serious when doing business. Today the emperor gave him this job. You are just happy, but I am afraid that he will offend others."
On this side, the Wen Xian sisters were playing with a few little ones in the palace. They spotted a persimmon tree in the north of Ningshou Palace. Since they were accompanied by all the maids, they even climbed a tree to pick persimmons for them.
There was no one there, so a few girls carelessly picked up stones and threw them on the tree. As a result, the persimmons rotted all over the ground, and the palace maids were covered in juice and flesh. The crowd was frightened and dispersed, but the children had a great time.
But when they were busy here, they would definitely alert the nearby security guards. It just so happened that the fourth elder brother and his guards were passing by. Seeing the crowd, he thought something was going on. When he got closer, he saw rotten persimmons on the ground and the embarrassed palace maids and several sisters.
But he was laughing happily beside him, and Xiao Chen'er even ran over to pull him and said, "Fourth brother, we want to pick persimmons."
Yinzhen always loved his sister, so he picked up Xiao Chen'er and lifted her up. The little girl reached out and picked a persimmon and showed it off happily. Just as Yinzhen was instructing the guards to find someone to clean up the place, he suddenly felt that someone had touched the hem of his clothes.
Pulling, he lowered his head and saw a strange girl tugging at his robe, saying in a sweet voice: "Lift it high, I will lift it high too."
Yinzhen didn't recognize the child, but the child didn't recognize him at all. He tugged on his robe and said, "Pick persimmons, pick persimmons with your hands high."
"Whose child is this?" Yinzhen raised his head and asked his sister. Wen Xian was wiping persimmon stains from his bun. He looked back and said, "It's the young lady from the Nian family."
