Chapter 209: Those Trivia

Take a carriage from the palace to reach the Shenwu Gate, change to a soft sedan chair and enter the palace, pass through the Shunzhen Gate, enter the long palace road on the west side, I don't know how long I walked before stopping. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The sedan chair is in front of the Yongshou Palace where the Wulanala clan lives, and now she is the queen and the head of the six palaces. All the concubines had to escort her here, listen to her teachings, and then get her permission to go back to their dwellings.

Although the Ulanala clan was the queen, they did not live in the Kunning Palace as people imagined, because the Kunning Palace was already a place of shamanic worship at this time. It was only used as a cave house for one night when the emperor was married, so the Ulanala clan naturally didn't need it.

Yongshou Palace is the first palace of the West Six Palaces of the Inner Court. The first palace located on the west side of the Qianqing Palace, behind the Yikun Palace, adjacent to the Changchun Palace, is the closest palace to the Yangxin Palace in the harem.

Luckily, Ulanala is not a troublesome person, and wants to get up before dawn to prepare, and it is the bumpy ride of the carriage and horse sedan car for such a long way, obviously she is also a little tired, accepted the bow ceremony, let everyone sit down to drink tea and rest, use some snacks, briefly instruct a few words of the rules in the palace, and say that the things in the womb still need to be settled these days, and the three days of morning and dusk are avoided, so let everyone go back to their palace to settle down.

Coming out of the Wulanala clan, everyone turned back from the original road, first sent the Nian clan into the Yikun Palace, and then went around most of the circle to the East Sixth Palace. The first to arrive was Chengqian Palace, the Li family and the Qian family were of the same grade, and there was already resentment in their hearts, so naturally there would be no polite greetings from sisters and sisters, and the Qian family and I didn't have to talk to her, and I didn't bother to deal with her. So the four sedan chairs went to their respective palaces, without stopping to say hello.

Without others, on the way to Jingren Palace, I felt that the atmosphere around me suddenly became a little relaxed. When I got off the sedan chair outside Jingren Palace, Qian waited for me to go in with a smile, and kept saying: "It's good, let's live together in the future, so that we can talk, it's much better than those places, and sure enough, the master still favors our sisters more." In the future, my sister doesn't have to worry about those things of Lao Shizi anymore, and they can fight no matter how they fight outside, and the two of us will live our own lives quietly in this courtyard. ”

Even at this age, Qian's temperament still can't change that simplicity. She had been cautious in the Hidden Mansion before, simply because she understood that the environment at that time was harsh, and too many words and deeds were very likely to cause me inconvenience and trouble. Now she is a concubine, the palaces are far apart, self-contained, and behind closed doors, it is another world, as long as she doesn't want to fight for something, it is equivalent to no longer having those intrigues, and the state of the whole person has relaxed, as if she has suddenly returned to the greedy and laughing years of the year.

Looking at Qian's happy appearance, I also feel a lot more down-to-earth in my heart, although there is no way to be as simple as she thought, but without those breathless political struggles and scheming, it is a lot easier after all.

looked around the huge Jingren Palace, and responded with a smile: "Yes, let's not fight for anything in the future, just live our own small life." ”

Jingren Palace is the first courtyard adjacent to the east of the central axis of the Qianqing Palace, and it is also the first palace of the East Sixth Palace of the Inner Court. The pattern of Jingren Palace is the same as that of other palaces, all of them are courtyards of the second entrance, the main gate is south-facing, the name is Jingren Gate, there is a stone shadow wall in the door, which is said to be a relic of the Yuan Dynasty. The main hall of the front yard is Jingren Palace, the face is wide and five, the yellow glazed tile rests on the top of the mountain, the eaves corner places the beast five, the eaves are applied with a single warp and a single high five stepping on the bucket, decorated with the dragon and phoenix and the seal color painting. The front and rear eaves of the bright room open the door, the second and the tip are the sill wall, the sill window, the door and window double cross four rhombic flower fan type. The ceiling pattern is two dragons playing with pearls, and the inner eaves are dragons and phoenixes and seal color paintings. The indoor square brick is on the ground, and there is a wide platform in front of the palace. There are three rooms with the hall in the east and west, the door is opened in the bright room, the yellow glazed tile is the top of the mountain, and the eaves are decorated with the color painting of the spindle. There are ear rooms in the north and south of the side hall. The main hall of the backyard is five, the door is opened in the bright room, the yellow glazed tile is hard mountain top, and the eaves are applied to the bucket, decorated with dragon and phoenix and seal color painting. Transepts were built on each side. In front of the palace, there are three rooms of the east and west with the hall, also open the door for the bright room, the yellow glazed tile hard mountain top, the eaves are decorated with the color painting of the rotorad. There is a well pavilion in the southwest corner of the courtyard.

The main hall of the front yard, Jingren Palace, is actually inhabited, and is usually used to hold canonizations, receive visits, or feast guests. The side halls on both sides are usually idle, and there are particularly favored concubines who are allowed to visit the female relatives of the family when they are allowed to visit the palace and arrange to live here as guest residences. The main hall of the backyard is the living place of the lord of the first house, and it is now the residence of the Qian family. The first side hall on the west side of the side is my dwelling. Next to each temple there was a place for servants and maidservants to live in order to serve closely.

The Qian family is now a concubine, in addition to the maids and chamberlains who have been serving her since the Qiandi, there are also three palace maids and three maids. I am a concubine, in addition to Xiao Shunzi and the maid who followed me later, I also added two palace maids and two inner servants.

I and the Qian family each have an older aunt with them, and the rest are the new servants and maids who have just entered the palace in Kangxi's sixty years.

After Qian and I went back to the house to freshen up and change into comfortable palace clothes, we gathered in the warm pavilion of the side hall of the Qian family to drink tea. Qian and I discussed summoning the new servants and maids together to talk about the rules and establish authority, so that these people would not be able to take care of the two of us, and when the time comes, they will have any thoughts and cause trouble.

"Naturally," I thought about and said to Qian, "Now that your position is higher than mine, you should also learn to do this, and I am afraid that there will be more things that you need to take care of in the future, and I can't let me help you make up your mind." ”

Qian Shi ate the pastry, glanced at me angrily, and smiled: "No wonder you don't want to be a concubine, it turns out that you want to be lazy, you used to be in charge of everything in the courtyard, I just want to enjoy Qingfu, where will I care about these, but now it's good, you have become the shopkeeper, and everything is called me out." ”

I chuckled and replied, "After all these years of being busy and scared, it's time for me to rest." ”

Speaking of this, I glanced at Qian's family, motioned to her to let everyone in the room retreat first, and then continued: "Hongli, this child's eight characters were shown by the first emperor, and the emperor also released rumors outside that the throne could be passed on to him Part of the reason is because the first emperor valued Hongli, and it is impossible to take it back if this is released, so Hongli will inevitably become a candidate for the prince, which is eight or nine inseparable." Now that the queen has no children under her knees, she has always loved the two children Hongli and Hongday, as long as you don't fight with her for anything, no one in this palace can move your position. So you have to learn how to take charge of these things in the palace, and you will definitely be able to use them in the future. ”

Qian put down the pastry in his hand, took a sip of tea, and said thoughtfully: "I understand what my sister said. ”

Speaking of this, Qian Shi stopped talking, and was silent for a moment before saying: "It stands to reason that there is nothing to be worried about now, but for some reason I always feel unsure. ”

Don't say that Qian feels this way, in fact, I feel the same way. Looking back on the road that has been passed in the past 20 years, every step is a frightening calculation everywhere, and now suddenly everything can be put down, but there is a sense of weightlessness.

I comforted Qian and said: "It's okay, believe me, now that we are in the right time, as long as there is no big mistake, there will be no trouble, not to mention that you have always done your duty, and no one can take out half of your point." Now we still live in the same place, you should learn what you should learn, and if you can't make up your mind, we can also discuss it. ”

There is no need to go to Yongshou Palace for three days to ask for peace, which just allows everyone to settle down and rest. As a concubine, the master naturally doesn't have to do everything himself. Taking advantage of the three days of getting along, I am also observing the character of these palace people.

Three days later, I went to Yongshou Palace to greet the queen, and when I came back, Qian and I summoned the servants and maids of Jingren Palace to the main hall in the front yard to give a lecture. The words were discussed before, Qian said that she didn't like to take care of these things, and when there was nothing big about it, Jingren Palace, you can just ask me to deal with it, which is equivalent to handing over the affairs of this palace to me. This was her arrangement, and I had no choice but to accept the order, and I was thinking about how I should do it. Then it is to warn these people that they must understand what should be said and what should not be said, and if they find that they eat inside and outside, they will not be spared. At last they were given something and let them go.

In fact, this set of grace and power is just a passing scene, whether it can really stay depends on the future, most of the people in the palace are eye-catching, and they should have heard that this Concubine Xi in Jingren Palace is the biological mother of the Hongli elder brother who was brought by the first emperor back then, and her attitude is natural and deferential, but there is nothing to find fault with.

Those around me, from the first day of entering the mansion, I can see that I have a close relationship with Concubine Xi, and they have not escaped. They naturally don't know how I was when I was in the hidden mansion, and I don't want them to feel that the Qian family seems to be used to listening to me everywhere, so when they get along with the Qian family, they also deliberately or unintentionally make low-key concessions, even if they manage the affairs of Jingren Palace according to the Qian family's requirements, but most of the time they will tell her in detail, including the things that Yinzhen and Wulanala have successively rewarded after entering the small treasury, and they will also show the account book to the Qian family.

After those things in the hidden mansion, when I am not sure whether these people can really be trusted, I will not get too close to them, most of the time I still order Xiao Shunzi and the maid Dongmei who followed me later. Dongmei was only thirteen or fourteen years old when she waited for me in the dive mansion, and I was not close to her, first because she was young, and it was inevitable that she would be worried that this girl might not be used to deal with me, and then I found that this girl had a good character, looking at her was like seeing herself who had just entered the house, and she didn't want her to be involved in those messy things, so she was also avoided. However, after getting along with each other over the years, she is now almost twenty years old, and she is still docile and shy, but she handles things properly and knows my rules and preferences, which makes me quite worry-free.

It's just the rules in the palace, Xiao Shunzi and Dongmei are still not so familiar with each other after all, and they still have to honor the older palace maid Qinglan.

Qinglan entered the palace in the fifty-third year of Kangxi, she was only fourteen years old when she entered the palace, and she has been in the palace for almost ten years.

I asked Qinglan which palace she was working in before coming to Jingren Palace, and Qinglan replied that she was originally in Concubine Yi's palace before, and was later assigned to serve me in Jingren Palace.

Hearing the words Concubine Yi, I knew in my heart, it seems that there is Yinyu's arrangement here. Concubine Yi is Kangxi's favorite concubine, Concubine Yi Guo Luoluo, she is also Yinyu's biological mother. Since this Qinglan was originally serving Concubine Yi, it stands to reason that she should not be arranged to serve me in Jingren Palace, unless someone asked Concubine Yi for a favor and sent someone intentionally. Except for Yinyu, I really can't think of who this person will be.

This time I didn't refuse Yinzhen's arrangement, after all, at this time, he was actually already under Yinzhen's eyeliner, even if he still had some ability in the palace, but it was not easy to be able to quietly send people to my palace, I believe that Yinzhen would not let Yinzhen notice if he dared to do so. And he must have done this because I was new to the palace, I was not familiar with the place, and there were no credible and usable people around me, so there was such an arrangement.

I didn't ask Qinglan anything about Concubine Yi and Yinyu, and after she stepped back, I summoned Xiaoshunzi and asked him to check who else was arranged by Yinyu. A few days later, Xiao Shunzi replied that there was only Qinglan alone, and the others were all newly brought over from the Internal Affairs Office not long after entering the palace.

Only Qinglan is okay, if it was all arranged by Yinyu, I have to think about what he has on his mind. Qinglan alone means that this is just an arrangement he made to me, so I can accept this person calmly, and I can use it with peace of mind.

After confirming Qinglan's identity, I mentioned this matter to the Qian family, although the Qian family felt that the person who accepted Yinyu was a little inappropriate, but he thought that the affairs in the palace needed to be taken care of by someone who understood after all, so he didn't object much. So some of the external affairs in Jingren Palace were also assigned to her and the aunt who was in charge of the Qian family, which also saved me a lot of heart.

At the end of December, the New Year was approaching, and when people were preparing to welcome the first New Year of the Yongzheng Dynasty in the state funeral, Yinyu returned to Beijing.

When the news reached the palace, it was already after the lunch on the day Yinyu returned to Beijing.

Listening to Xiaoshunzi, as soon as Yinyu returned to Beijing, he rushed to Jingshan Shouhuang Palace to pay homage to Kangxi's coffin, and happened to meet Yinzhen at that time. Yinzhen's temperament was originally straightforward and stubborn, and he naturally refused to kneel with resentment in his heart, Yinzhen is also a hard temper, and now as the emperor, it is impossible to make concessions in this kind of thing, so the two of them froze on the spot. The guards who followed Yinzhen felt inappropriate when they saw such a stalemate, and hurriedly pulled Yinzhen forward to bow down. Unexpectedly, Yinzhen gave Niu a temper, not only did he still not kneel, but he was also furious with the guard, angrily scolded Yinzhen's guard, and went to Yinzhen to reprimand the guard for being rude, saying: "I am the emperor's younger brother, where can I tolerate a lowly guard pulling and pulling, if I have something wrong, ask the emperor to punish me, if I have nothing wrong, ask the emperor to correct this guard and correct the country." ”

Originally, Yinzhen opened his mouth to say this, but he actually deliberately sprinkled his anger on Yinzhen, the guard, and to put it bluntly, he actually had the intention of embarrassing Yinzhen. This is also a matter between two brothers, as long as it depends on how Yinzhen, the emperor, is handled, but I didn't expect Yinzhen to come out at this time and say to Yinzhen: "You should kneel." Speaking of which, this was originally Yinzhen didn't want to make the relationship between Yinzhen and Yinzhen stiff at this time, so he had the heart to persuade him, and when Yinzhen heard Yinzhen say this, he didn't make noise and let Yinzhen deal with the guard, so he knelt down for Yinzhen so silently. Yinzhen didn't say anything at the time, but his face was extremely bad and he left.

Everyone thought that this matter would be so settled, but in my opinion it was not so simple, I said to Xiao Shunzi: "I didn't expect that a smart eighth master would also make this kind of confusion, how can he open his mouth in front of the Son of Heaven, the fourteenth master is also an ignorant person, he thinks that this is to give the eighth master face? I don't want to think about whether this will cause trouble for the eighth master and himself, it's just that we can't manage their affairs." I only owe the Ninth Master, as long as it has nothing to do with the Ninth Master, let's just watch from the sidelines, don't interfere for half a point. ”
