Chapter 89: The Death of the Empress Dowager
Twenty-four years of Kangxi have passed like this, and now the prince has risen by one year and fifteen years old, but in fact he is only thirteen years old, and twenty-six years is next year, and it should be drafted next year, presumably the candidate for the crown princess this year is almost decided.
After thinking about it, there are many brothers or clans below who are going to get married, this draft is not to be busy, Concubine Ping rubbed her temples, and then thought that Ruoshui had something to say, so she put down the roster in her hand.
After a cup of tea, Ruoshui came over, and when he saw Concubine Ping, he asked, "One qiē is fine."
"Without the emperor in the palace, it is naturally a lot quieter" Concubine Ping said with a smile: "You have always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and this palace has become a flood beast in your eyes, and suddenly there is something urgent to spread the word."
"Your sister's husband's family, the Guerjia clan is also a cousin of Shuxian, it seems to be the same as us," Ruoshui said cautiously.
Concubine Ping's heart jumped: "What do you mean......."
Ruoshui nodded: "Two days ago, I went to the banquet and heard about this girl's deeds, and after she woke up in the water, she didn't know anyone, and she was talking nonsense, and her family only thought she was not awake, and even mentioned the emperor's name, but the family was so frightened that she was confused, and later said that she had amnesia."
"Well, it's not far from ten."
Ruoshui then said: "Originally, I didn't take it seriously, and history hasn't changed much, but she always inquired about things in the palace, and knowing that you are ...... now, she has some doubts and wants to find out, although she is just a boudoir woman now, and she has no chance to come to the palace, but she still has to be drafted, for fear that she will make some moths, you are now cautious in this palace."
Concubine Ping thought about it, the identity of that woman was Shuxian's cousin, and it was really difficult to do it if she wasn't an ordinary person.
"It's better for me to disclose my identity, anyway, I'm happy outside the palace, and there is such a big backer as you in the palace, so I can spend this boring day by playing with her" After speaking, he looked excited, and his eyes were shining.
Concubine Ping smiled helplessly and nodded, it was really embarrassing that Ruoshui wanted to pretend to be a lady in front of everyone.
This matter was settled, and Concubine Ping thought that there were three people breaking into this balanced space now, didn't it really matter, but she was also happy in her heart, is it more likely to break history in this way.
When the emperor returned to the palace, all the concubines naturally had to go to greet him, even the queen mother did not listen to persuasion, standing at the gate of the palace, fortunately, the emperor came in time, all the concubines expressed the infinite lovesickness with their eyes, but when they saw Min Guiren's bulging belly, it was not the cute and pitiful eyes, and they couldn't wait to eat Min Guiren's eyes, which was really quite scary.
When Concubine Ping saw this scene, her heart became cold, and she was afraid that this stomach was not in the arms of the southern tour, whether she was afraid that the people in the palace would harm you or me would harm you, and she tried her best to go to the southern tour.
"How is the emperor's mother standing here, isn't it the unfilial piety of the sons", said and looked at Concubine Ping, the queen mother patted the emperor's hand, "Don't blame Concubine Ping, it's the mourning family who is coming by herself, the emperor has lost a lot of weight, and he has suffered a lot along the way."
After saying that, the prince and the elder brothers said goodbye, and the emperor looked at the prince but had not seen him for half a year, and raised a lot of thoughts about what was written in the prince's letter, and asked about his knowledge.
Concubine Ping laughed helplessly: "The emperor went back and asked, the prince can still be gone, I see that the Min Guiren's belly is not small and he is still standing in this cold weather, and the emperor doesn't think about the child in the Min Guiren's belly."
"Look, it's been a long time," the Queen Mother asked.
"When the concubine arrived at the southern tour, she found out that she was two months pregnant, and she was running around the road, but fortunately, the child was still very obedient, otherwise the concubine would have stayed with the ancestor," Min Guiren said shyly.
"It seems that the people around you are useless" After speaking, he looked at Concubine Ping: "I will definitely send two experienced people to Min Guiren."
Knowing that the old ancestor was facing herself, Concubine Ping said warmly in her heart: "The old ancestor wants to pity the poor concubine, now the affairs in the palace are already in a hurry, it is better for your old man to send two experienced grandmothers, and the noble man will definitely give birth to a white and chubby brother."
Min Guiren looked at Concubine Ping with a shocked face, with some guilt on his face, he didn't expect that Concubine Ping would push away an opportunity to plant a nail next to him, he stroked his stomach, and for a moment, he regained a faint look.
Twenty-five years of Kangxi, there are joys and sorrows, in February Mingui gave birth to an elder brother, that is, the thirteenth elder brother in history, during pregnancy, Mingui people in the palace guarded tightly, but there was still a little bit of a mistake in the middle, fortunately, the child was a big life, but it hurt the body, there are too many women in the palace who hurt their bodies because of giving birth, Wen Xi is a Min Gui and another one.
In July, the officials of the Ministry of Ministers decided to read and those who were not as knowledgeable as the officials below the concubine, and they were transferred to the same knowledge and judgment. Qing troops besiege Yaksa. The outcome of the battle was good, and in September the Russian Tsar Peter I wrote a letter asking for peace and ordered the siege to be withdrawn.
When the news spread, the entire capital was boiling, and Kangxi was indeed a good time lag in dealing with the king of a country.
The good thing is that shortly after the end of the war, the Empress Dowager's illness recurred. Twenty-six years was supposed to be the year of the draft, but because the Empress Dowager's condition did not improve, the entire palace was filled with a tense atmosphere, and the eunuchs and palace maids were also afraid of accidentally offending any nobles who were in a bad mood.
After all, the twenty-year draft still ushered in, but it is destined to be that this draft is not peaceful, because in November, Emperor Kangxi was sick in Cining Palace, and the emperor had no thoughts, and half of the show girls who had been selected were sent home, and the older ones could report to marry themselves, and the younger ones were waiting for the next draft.
Concubine Ping walked in with the soup she had made herself, and the emperor sat on the side of the Queen Mother's bed and held the Queen Mother's hand tightly, her eyes red.
"The emperor should also take good care of his body, otherwise the ancestor will definitely feel distressed when he wakes up and sees you like this", Concubine Ping said worriedly.
The emperor shook his head and said: "I have no appetite, you take care of the prince and the princess, the two children have not closed their eyes in the past few days."
"The emperor only said that these two children don't want to be themselves," Concubine Ping cried. At this time, the Empress Dowager slowly opened her eyes.
The two of them were overjoyed and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor."
At this time, I heard that the empress dowager woke up, the concubines and princesses came to the house, and suddenly the house was full of people, and the empress dowager probably saw the prosperity of her children and grandchildren, and beckoned with a satisfied smile: "The emperor and the prince stay, and the rest go out."
"The emperor has ever blamed the mourning family" The queen mother was full of expectation: "The queen and Concubine Tong Jia, the emperor has complained, the emperor owes the Wuya clan, originally they were not clothed slaves, it was your emperor Amma...... The mourning family promised you that the emperor Ama spared them once", and then said: "The prince is good, but he can't bear to have a villain by your side, the emperor mourns the family and asks for nothing else, there are only two conditions, the noble man spares her life, and the prince must believe him at any time."
The Empress Dowager took a breath and motioned for the prince to leave: "The emperor can't have feelings, the mourning family has been worried that you will be the same as your emperor Ama back then, fortunately, my Xuan Ye is the most obedient, the mourning family was wrong when the queen died, and I don't want to say anything to the Ping Guifei mourning family, but Xuan Ye You have to understand that your relatives should not be too big, and it should be time for the prince to get married and live on his own......."
After speaking, he fell asleep deeply, and after that, he only woke up once to see Concubine Ping once, and the princess once, but in the end he still couldn't stay.
Concubine Ping walked on the road in a trance, thinking about what the Empress Dowager said, the weather in December had already cooled, and there were still a few leaves falling on people's bodies alone, not painful, but distressing.
My sister's death has something to do with the Empress Dowager, it has something to do with Concubine Tong Jia, and who else does it have to do with it, Concubine Ping couldn't help but feel a chill when she thought of this, was everyone there at the time implicated, what about the emperor? It shouldn t matter if you are not so sad about the emperor, who is the empress dowager protecting to bear this burden concubine ping suddenly felt that she had worked hard to investigate for so long, and all of them had been overthrown, who was the empress dowager for.
