One autumn rain and another cold. In the blink of an eye, it has arrived in the cold late autumn.
I supported my waist with one hand and was supported by Qiao Hui on the other side, and I moved awkwardly through the fallen leaves. As the day of delivery approached, my heart became more and more uneasy. My belly was extremely huge, and my legs were extremely swollen.
The doctor's brows became more and more frowning during the daily check-ups. I also lost the composure of the past. I didn't know what to do, so I had to take a walk every day, hoping it would help my childbirth.
After walking for a while, he was exhausted. He shifted his body's center of gravity to Qiaohui and said feebly: "Let's rest for a while before walking." Qiaohui responded and began to search for interesting stories to tell me. These are these days.
She talked for a while and saw that I was a little absent-minded. She looked at me silently for a long time and said, "Miss, don't worry, the stable mother in the palace is very experienced." I was still a little careless about her words,
After being dazed for a while, I asked: "How long has it been since Master Thirteen came to Zhenxi Pavilion?"
Qiao Hui glanced at me silently, with a somewhat unhappy look on her face, and said: "The Emperor has repeatedly warned you not to care about other things, but it's good for you that you are wasting your time and worrying about others." According to Qiao Hui, he raised his hand and touched it.
She touched the healed scars on her face and knew that it was useless to say anything else. She would not interrogate me anymore, so she reluctantly closed her mouth.
God follows people's wishes, and whoever they want to see will show up.
I saw Thirteen walking calmly from a distance, stepping on the bluestone bricks with a sound, and I was extremely happy. I glanced at Qiaohui with a smile, and stood up straight. Qiaohui shook her head and sighed softly:
"I don't know how to cherish myself, and it's useless for others to worry blindly. If something happens, Qiaohui will follow her little brother, and she won't have to worry about it all day long." These are the words she often talks about.
I have become accustomed to it. I smiled at her and said, "Nothing will happen. I'm a little hungry again. You go back and get some cakes." How could Qiaohui not understand what I meant? She shook her head again.
, while walking, he said: "How can I have the same temperament as the second lady..."
Thirteen smiled and said, "Can we still go?" I stood there, stretched out my left arm to him, and said with a smile, "I can leave if I lend you my arm." Thirteen suppressed his smile and walked forward for two seconds.
He stepped forward, put his right hand on his waist, and said: "This time, please don't let the emperor see you again. If eyes could kill, my body would have been shot with several holes by the eyes of the fourth brother." After saying this, he still made a gesture.
Flashed backwards.
Silently looking at Thirteen with a smile on his face and eyes without saying a word, he seemed to have returned to the free and uninhibited Thirteen before his ten-year detention. I stared at him for a while, and Thirteen had something to say.
Feeling a little unnatural, I touched my face and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" I glanced at him, smiled and teased: "It seems that things like nominations for the gold list, wedding flowers and candles are not related to someone.
It's just that for some unknown reason, someone is smiling like a fool." Hearing this, Thirteen raised his sword eyebrows and said in a serious tone: "What you said is worth being happy about, how can it be something that makes me happy both physically and mentally?
Those things." She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and said, "Be proud of yourself, it's just that Luwu has returned to the way it was before." After hearing this, Shisan smiled and said, "I have finally waited for this day."
There was a feeling of emotion in my heart. Lu Wu was originally a person with a pure mind, but in that certain environment, she had subtly transformed into another person. How much hard work Shisan had spent to bring her back. If you were not the person involved, you would not be able to understand this.
It was difficult, and of course it was impossible to understand the ecstasy in Thirteen’s heart at this time.
I asked: "What happened to E Qi's promise now? To what extent have the Tibetan affairs been dealt with?" Thirteen thought for a while and said: "Brother Huang has adopted E Qi's suggestion and sent Sengge and Mara to Tibet.
, after the mother-in-law is rehabilitated, the two will stay there as ministers stationed in Tibet. This time they will send garrison troops to Tibet to completely solve the problems there. As for E's promise, the fourth brother did not make things difficult for her, but as a woman who had just entered the palace,
Her behavior was extremely domineering, and she even dared to harm the emperor's heirs. If it weren't for the deputy capital Tongzheng's efforts for the court, let alone the fourth brother, even the queen would not be able to spare her. After all, the fourth brother has very few heirs, and she has always been the queen.
heart disease."
Caressing the slender wound on his face, he couldn't help but recall the scene when he returned to the room that day.
When we returned to the courtyard, Qiaohui, who had been waiting anxiously, was circling around in circles. When he saw my face, he was shocked and kept asking what happened. I didn't want to make things worse, so I just
She kept saying that she accidentally hung it. However, after careful observation by Qiaohui, she insisted that she scratched her face with her fingers. Until Yinzhen returned to the room, she still insisted that she had seen it.
When Yinzhen and we were the only two people left in the room, he stood quietly in front of me and stared at me. Finally, his eyes were fixed on my cheeks. The warmth in his eyes gradually disappeared and was replaced by cold hatred.
I was very familiar with this look on his face, and I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.
I didn't want my child to die before he was born, so I took a step forward, leaned forward slightly, put my head on his shoulder, and said softly: "Let's go, I really miss Zhen Xi."
I'm done." He was silent for a while, then he put his arms around my waist and asked calmly: "Who is it?" He felt tight in his heart, thought quickly, and decided to tell the truth. This matter cannot be hidden no matter what.
Besides, the situation in Tibet is tense now, so he probably won't agree to anything to E.
I raised my head, stared at him and said, "E agree." His expression was as usual, as if he already knew who did it. After thinking about it for a while, he knew the reason. In this huge harem, except for the previous Concubine Qi,
Apart from being a little harsh in their spoken words, the rest of the women are quiet and smart. Therefore, except for the newbies who have just entered the palace and don’t know the depth of things, no one will come to provoke me. Among the new showgirls, only that one
E agreed to sleep with her once, and the court happened to be using her family members in important ways.
"Ruoxi,..." Listening to Thirteen's cry, she put back her wandering thoughts, glanced at him, and said, "What's the matter?" Thirteen said funnyly: "You're so fuzzy again, could it be that the emperor said that
You seem to have something on your mind since you returned to the garden." I was startled and immediately understood what he meant. I have been thinking about Hongli these days. This is an indescribable problem, so I can't
After resolving the pain in his heart, the whole person seemed a little depressed.
I said: "How can I worry about it? The imperial court is using E Qi, so even though E Qi is banned, don't wrong her." I secretly smiled bitterly in my heart. As soon as we returned to the garden, E Qi in the palace was banned.
In Xiu Nu's residence, if Thirteen hadn't spilled the beans, I would still have been kept in the dark. However, there are palace rules in the palace, and she was the one to blame.
Thirteen shook his head and said mockingly: "Who chased me into the palace so eagerly that my fourth brother was so regretful that his intestines were blue, but now he looks generous." The scar was revealed, and there was a trace of embarrassment and anger in his heart.
He pulled out his arm, stood there, glared at him, and said, "Who deliberately broke his leg just to see Lu Wu." Thirteen smiled coquettishly, grabbed my hand and put it in his arm, saying
: "That's it." Then he added: "Don't worry too much. E Qi has already known about his sister's evil deeds. He has written a letter to apologize and thank the emperor for forgiving her."
The two chatted for a while, and I finally asked what I had been thinking about for a long time: "What has Brother Si been busy with these days? I haven't seen him for a few days?" Hearing this, Thirteen burst into laughter and laughed.
Bian said: "This child seems to have changed his gender. Uncharacteristically, he ran out of the palace all day long. Moreover, he took in three concubines in two months. Even the emperor was shocked and said he didn't know who he had taken."
Afterwards, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
My heart felt as if it had been densely pricked by fine needles, and there was a dull pain. I couldn't help but slow down my steps. Shisan looked me up and down and said, "But are you tired?" He nodded feebly, and followed him towards Zhenxi Pavilion.
Go in the direction.
He lowered his head and kept blaming himself in his heart. He no longer noticed his surroundings and just followed Thirteen step by step.
"Brother, see you, brother." Hearing Shi San's greeting, he suddenly came back to his senses and raised his head, only to find that Yinzhen was staring at my hand in Shi San's arm with a slight smile on his face. When he saw me looking at it, he took away a little of it.
With a smile, he said to Thirteen: "How is Longkodo's matter handled?" Hearing this, he was startled. Wasn't Longkodo surveying the border? While he was wondering, Thirteen had already pulled out my hand and said: "
The building of the house has been completed, it just needs to be taken away." He walked forward to Yinzhen's side, hugged one of his arms, leaned on him with his whole body, and listened to their conversation silently.
It turned out that Longkodo was exposed for secretly hiding the original jade certificate. He was recalled to Beijing on the third day of July, his home was searched and imprisoned, and a meeting of the kings and ministers convicted Longkodo of the 41 major crimes. In the end, Yinzhen's decision was:
Longkodo avoided his rectification, built three houses outside Changchun Garden, and imprisoned him forever. "The bird is hidden behind its bow". This is indeed the eternal truth. Longkodo's only mistake may be that he participated in the Eight Kings' political discussion.
, which overshadowed all his achievements.
Although Longkodo's position was embarrassing, he was able to fulfill his duties during this incident, conduct on-the-spot investigations carefully, and resolutely demand that Russia return the large tracts of Mongolian land it had occupied. He also refused to compromise on etiquette issues, asking the Russian representatives to follow the Chinese instructions.
Acting politely. However, Turichen and Longkodo have always been at odds. During the negotiation, Turichen accused Longkodo of being selfish and dissatisfied with Longkodo's tough attitude. He himself had never personally surveyed the border, so Longkodo
After Kodo returned to Beijing, after his hasty survey, he completed the negotiations that could not be completed in the previous two months in ten days and two meetings. On July 18, the boundary negotiations were basically completed and the draft agreement was signed.
In August, the two sides signed the "Brenschi Boundary Treaty" and in September they signed the formal "Kyakhta Treaty." After the treaty was signed, no one expected that an incident occurred that resulted in the loss of national identity.
, which made Yinzhen furious. After Turichen negotiated the boundary with the Russian envoy Sava, he lined up with Russia and fired cannons to pray to God. This also reflects Turichen's attitude when negotiating with Russia.
Concessive attitude.
Historically, although the signing of this treaty has made important progress in cultural exchanges in language, religion, handicrafts, medicine and other aspects, the trade between the two sides has become extremely prosperous. However, in terms of border demarcation, Russia
But Fang gained the greatest benefit.
During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the old boundaries drawn by Russian Ambassador Fyodor and Soetu when they concluded the treaty in Nerchinsk were far deeper into Russian territory in every section. Today, the boundaries drawn by Turichen
However, all sections of the new border went far into Mongolia, several days' journey away, and some places were even as far away as several weeks' journey. The new border's movement towards Mongolia obviously made the Qing's territory smaller.
.
People outside the court are already a little numb to the affairs in the court, but they are a little worried that one day, Yinzhen will realize that he has lost his country because of Longkodo's return to the court, and he will blame himself in his heart. He sighed secretly.
He took a deep breath, moved his numb feet, and changed into a slightly more comfortable position. His whole body's center of gravity completely shifted to his body. He hugged me, with a hint of helplessness between his brows, and smiled at Thirteen,
He said: "Let's go back now. You will have dinner with us and there are some things to do..."
Maybe I want to eat for two people. At this time, my appetite is quite amazing. Looking at the various bones and uneatable vegetables on the hill next to me, Thirteen's eyes became a little straight. Seeing Thirteen's expression, Yinzhen
He smiled and said, "What's so strange about it? Children born this way will be fat and white." This is one of the ways he often comforts me.
I glanced at him sideways and said while eating, "This is also the reason why I gained weight." Maybe it was because the fetus was growing taller in the later stages, and I was able to eat more and more. I was often worried that my body would be out of shape, and I didn't eat much for a while.
Yinzhen was helpless, so he asked the imperial doctor to diagnose him every day, and reminded him every day, "The adults can handle it, but the fetus..." With such constant chatter every day, he felt extremely bored, so he started to eat a lot. In this way, people
It also swelled up like a balloon. He stroked my back and said to Thirteen: "Hongli is a little abnormal these days. They are very afraid of me, so it is better for you, the emperor's uncle, to take care of it."
A mouthful of food was stuck in his throat. He couldn't swallow it or spit it out, so he had to cough hard. Seeing this, Yinzhen was shocked. He patted me on the back and shouted loudly: "Gao Wuyong, call the imperial doctor."
"I waved my hand to him, meaning just spit it out. If the imperial doctor sees me, I really won't be able to see anyone when I go out. But Gao Wuyong outside responded and walked away in a hurry.
.
Maybe he was afraid of hitting him too hard, but I didn't think it would have any effect, so I wanted to remind him to be stronger. Just when he was about to speak, he felt that the thing in his mouth went in more. I had no other way, so I had to slap him hard, and he was stunned.
For a moment, I indicated with my eyes that I was going to take the photo, and I lowered my head and waited. There was a "pop" sound on my back, and I spat it out, breathed rapidly for a while, and took a sip of soup.
, I felt a little better.
I let out a sigh of relief, a little embarrassed, looked at them with a sly smile, then lowered my head and started eating. Thirteen chuckled and said, "Brother Huang's life is very exciting." I looked up and turned pale.
He glanced at me three times and was about to speak. Yinzhen suppressed his smile, frowned, stared at me and ordered: "Don't interrupt me again while you are eating." He muttered words in his throat that no one could understand, and then stopped.
speech.
Thirteen continued: "There is nothing wrong with Hongli being like this. The political affairs assigned to him have not been neglected. He can care about the people when he is doing things at a young age. As for emotional matters, we still don't care. Do you want him to be like this?
Let's talk about it. Do you want him to get involved with a woman early? You don't want the suffering we have suffered to happen to him." Yinzhen glanced at me and was silent for a while, then said: "He
You can’t do this before the wedding.”
The delicious food on the table tasted like nothing in my mouth. I put down my chopsticks and stared at the table in a daze. I was a little confused and didn't know what to do. I couldn't help but blame myself for being so careless. I always knew it in my heart.
I thought he was a child, but in his eyes, I was still a young woman in her prime. But after two months of analysis, I vaguely felt that Hongli didn't like me, maybe he did.
Although he has melted into the palace, he is different from the woman who was born and grew up in the palace. This just makes Hongli feel refreshed. Maybe even he is not aware of it. He exhaled a long breath and felt the stagnation in his heart.
The anger has dissipated a bit.
January of the sixth year of Yongzheng's reign, the Forbidden City.
Lying on the bed, I looked out through the gap between the window lattice, and saw pieces of snowflakes flying gently with the wind, sometimes left, sometimes right, falling continuously. Just when I was about to speak, my stomach hurt again, and I couldn't help but gently
The ground groaned, and Qiaohui, who had passed the bed, walked quickly to the door, opened the gap in the door, and Po Wen rushed in in a flash. Po Wen opened the quilt and took a look, looked at me with pity, and looked at Qiaohui.
He shook his head and walked towards the door, saying as he walked: "This kid is really good at torturing people. It's been two days, but there's no sign of coming out."
The labor pains became more and more severe and frequent, and I felt as if my legs had been removed. As I screamed, the sound of Yinzhen’s scolding and Wen Po’s apology came faintly from outside. There was a heartbreaking sound.
