The Wanshou Festival in the fifteenth year of Kangxi's reign was the saddest birthday since the new emperor ascended the throne.
The courtiers, who had been soaked in the rain for most of the day outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, were not let out of the palace by the guards until around midnight.
They all knew that something big happened in the palace today, but after returning home, they didn't dare to inquire about anything except drinking ginger soup.
From noon onwards, the Shenxing Department began to keep people coming in, and people in every palace were in panic.
"Mommy Tong, what's going on?" Concubine Tong looked in panic as she watched the eunuch of Qianqing Palace lead a group of people into the main hall of Chengqian Palace, and kidnapped two people in her palace without any explanation. A grandma.
"I'm afraid something happened at the palace banquet." Nanny Tong guessed in a low voice.
"Palace banquet?" Concubine Tong couldn't help but frown when she heard Nanny Tong say this.
"It seems that Mrs. Niu Hulu's ability to handle palace affairs is not very good! My cousin celebrates his birthday once a year, and he doesn't take care of it well." Mrs. Tong curled her lips disdainfully and said, but deep down she felt There is secret joy.
After all, because the one-month confinement period has not yet passed, she cannot attend Xuan Ye's cousin's birthday party. Naturally, she does not want other women to show their presence under her cousin's nose...
Unable to calm down, Mrs. Tong had to put down the bright yellow sachet with a little auspicious cloud pattern embroidered in her hand again, and walked out of the main hall with Nanny Tong.
The master and servant stood under the eaves outside the hall and saw that the great eunuch also kidnapped someone from Wu Ya in the side hall.
"What happened?" Tong couldn't help but murmured softly, looking at the panic on the faces of the slaves who were running back and forth in the heavy rain.
Niu Hulu sat quietly in the main hall of Cining Palace, watching the concubines nodding to her one by one, and then hurriedly left the seat with the people around her.
After a while, she was the only one left in the entire banquet.
"My young master, please don't be sad. Although this palace banquet has not been officially held, your hard work for such a long time is seen by the emperor and others." Cuizhi comforted her in a low voice.
This plan can never keep up with the changes. The master has put so much effort into this palace banquet, and now he is about to see the results, but who knows that it will be completely in vain...
The palace banquet was originally scheduled to start at noon. Unexpectedly, the emperor, concubine Hesheli, the prince, and brother Baoqing didn't arrive for a long time. Later, Aunt Gui stooped down and said something in the ear of the empress dowager. , I only saw the face of the Queen Mother sitting at the top change slightly, and then the Queen Mother Qiqige and Sumalagu who stood next to her helped her up, and they hurriedly left the table.
The Empress Dowager left suddenly, and she didn't have time to explain anything. The concubines sitting at the bottom could only look at each other in confusion at the birthday banquet, and did not dare to leave easily.
Unexpectedly, the wait lasted for almost an hour. Not only did everyone not wait for the emperor, they also suddenly received an oral instruction from the Empress Dowager that the palace banquet was cancelled.
Although no one knew what happened, when they saw Aunt Suma, whose clothes were soaked by the rain, she didn't even have time to change her clothes, so she hurried to the birthday banquet and bowed to all the concubines. After that, he came to inform everyone to leave the banquet as soon as possible and go back to his palace to stay well.
This made the usually steady and self-possessed Aunt Sumala become a little discourteous. The concubines were not fools, so they naturally left early and obediently.
"It's okay, Your Majesty and others must have other arrangements. Let's go back to the palace." Mrs. Niu Hulu stretched out her hand to Cuizhi, slowly got up from the chair, and walked out of Cining Palace with the palace guests around her. .
She stood under the oil-paper umbrella held by Cuizhi, her eyes lowered, and listening to the sound of the pitter-patter rain hitting the umbrella, she felt very calm inside.
The emperor's initial request for the Wanshou Festival palace banquet was to keep everything simple, such as singing, dancing, opera, etc. These programs that were originally routine at the palace banquet in previous years were deleted by the emperor early this year.
Because of this, I had a headache on how to make this Wanshou Festival palace banquet with a small budget this year a success. But that afternoon in the main hall of Qianqing Palace, the emperor told himself that he should make the Wanshou Festival more lively in an informal way. , and finally emphasized twice that a famous opera troupe outside the palace has put on a very interesting new opera this year.
At that time, she felt that there was something in the emperor's words. If the emperor wanted to watch an opera, he could just inform Changyin Pavilion directly. She didn't need to go to the palace to find a famous opera troupe. She was afraid that the emperor had other plans for the palace banquet. Now she received "dismissal banquet" "Notice, she felt a sense of peace that the dust had settled...
"Master, I found this in the secret pavilion where the eldest princess's bed collapsed." Cao Yin handed an emerald jade medal wrapped in a white sweat towel to Liang Jiugong beside him, who bent slightly. , presented it to the superior Kangxi.
Kangxi sat on an armchair and looked at the jade plaque carefully in the bright candlelight. He could faintly see the Mongolian word "Chahar" hidden inside.
"Ha, you are worthy of Lin Dan Khan's great fortune." Kangxi raised his hand and threw the jade plaque in his hand onto the imperial case.
When Cao Yin saw the emperor's behavior, he lowered his head slightly and said nothing.
Now that the matter has basically come to light, even though Concubine Yijing has stayed in the harem of the Qing Dynasty for so many years, she is still thinking about her eldest son Abu Nai who is far away in the Chahar tribe of Mongolia.
Seven years ago, the emperor deprived Abu Nai of his title as a prince on the grounds that he had not been on pilgrimage for many years, moved him to Shengjing, and ordered his son Burni to assume the title.
I am afraid that because of this, the Imperial Concubine Yijing also had resentment towards the emperor in her heart, so she handed over all the forces she had managed during her lifetime to her adopted daughter before her death.
The eldest princess of Jianning is a smart person. Presumably, if Wu Sangui had not rebelled and she lost her loved ones, she would have secretly hidden the harem power that her adoptive mother left to her, including people from the Mongolian Chahar tribe. However, due to fate, the eldest princess, whose life suddenly changed, angrily targeted the emperor and chose to cooperate with Wu Sangui and the White Lotus Sect who resisted the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty. They hid in an inconspicuous place in the palace and turned this force into a powerful force. It was bigger and more complicated, and in just two years there were so many disturbances in the Forbidden City...
The room was very quiet. Kangxi glanced at the secret book in his hand, which Wei Zhu compiled to record the situation of the Chahar tribe, and then asked in a low voice: "How are Changsheng and Wanfu?"
"When I return to the emperor, the imperial doctor is still treating me, and the two elder brothers are still in a coma." Liang Jiugong said quietly.
Hearing what Liang Jiugong said, Kangxi half-closed his eyes and didn't speak for a long time.
After a while, Nalan Rongruo walked into the imperial study with moisture all over his body. He bowed to Kangxi and saluted: "Your Majesty, I have sent Brother Baoqing to the Yanxi Palace and informed Nalan Rongruo about the concubine.
Young eunuch, please allow Brother Baoqing to return to Yanxi Palace and stay for a few days."
"Okay, I get it." Kangxi handed the secret fold in his hand to Liang Jiugong, indicating that he would pass it on to Cao Yin and Nalan Rongruo to see.
Finally, bed bugs emerged. Kangxi had to stay up late tonight with his confidants to deal with these government affairs. Thinking that Yin Reng was particularly attached to Qing Yan today, he specially asked Qing Yan to take him into Chuxiu Palace to sleep.
After nightfall, Qingyan and Yinreng washed up with the help of Bailu.
The little prince sat on Qingyan's bed, holding the cloth tiger Qingyan gave him in his hands, and didn't say a word for a long time.
Qingyan looked uncomfortable. Although Yinreng was two years younger than Baoqing, compared to Baoqing's carelessness, Yinreng's temperament was naturally more sensitive and delicate.
After Bai Lu helped put down the bed curtain, she turned around and quietly exited the inner room.
Qingyan held Yinreng in her arms and patted her gently. There were too many things that happened today, and she couldn't sleep.
For a long time, after she thought Yinreng had fallen asleep, the little prince said in a hoarse voice with a cry: "Auntie, Baocheng, isn't he a bad boy? Because Baocheng, He Zhuer, and Huang's mother are all.
Dead."
Qingyan did not look down at Yinreng, but hugged him tighter.
"Your Highness, He Zhuer is not dead, he is just injured. He will come to you when he recovers."
"What about the Queen?"
Before Qingyan could speak, Yinreng burst out suddenly and burst into tears: "Auntie, you are lying to everyone. You are lying to Gu. Khan Ama is also lying to Gu. Huang's mother has not gone. Changshengtian
, I was a guest, she died, she died because of Gu."
"Auntie, you are not from the Immortal Heaven. You are all lying to me!"
The little prince's voice was hoarse and he cried pitifully, like a helpless little puppy that was accidentally abandoned.
Qingyan didn't dare to look down at him, she just closed her eyes gently, continued to pat his little body and said: "Your Highness, I didn't lie to you. You may not know that in fact, in addition to the world we live in, Changshengtian also created
There have been many strange worlds. After your mother-in-law knew that she had you in her belly, she looked forward to you growing up slowly every day."
"Did the gourd seeds grow into gourd babies?" When Yinreng and Baoqing went to Zhongcui Palace to play two days ago, she had already learned from Concubine Ma Jia that the gourd seeds had become younger brothers and sisters.
It grows well in the belly and will be born as a gourd baby ten months later.
"Yes, she will gently caress her belly and talk to you every day. She hopes with all her heart and eyes that you will turn into a gourd baby and give birth to her baby soon. But your empress's character is too precious. She is loved and loved by Changshengtian.
The Empress, Brother Chenghu, could not take good care of himself in Changsheng Heaven alone, so in the end, the Empress had no choice but to leave you and go to Changsheng Heaven, and gave you all kinds of instructions to make you sweat.
Ma protects you with all her heart."
Hearing Qingyan's slow and firm tone, Yinreng gradually stopped crying and hiccupped again and asked: "What is the world made by Changshengtian?"
"There are many kinds. Some are exactly the same as ours. There are also worlds of peace, tranquility and happiness, and there are also worlds full of dangers and monsters everywhere. In short, there are so many kinds that we can't even count them."
"Are there many worlds that are exactly the same as ours?" When Yinreng heard this, his eyes widened slightly. This was the first time he heard this magical point of view.
"Yes, there are many of them, they are all parallel time and space of the Qing Dynasty, and we also live in that time and space."
Yinreng didn't understand what "the parallel time and space of the Qing Dynasty" meant, but he probably understood that there were them in another world also called the Qing Dynasty.
"There are so many people in the Qing Dynasty. Gu, don't you think there are none of them? Huang's mother, and brother Chenghu?" His voice was hoarse, and he was crying pitifully, like an abandoned animal by chance.
Helpless little puppy.
Qingyan didn't dare to look down at him, she just closed her eyes gently, continued to pat his little body and said: "Your Highness, I didn't lie to you. You may not know that in fact, in addition to the world we live in, Changshengtian also created
