Chapter 124: Time flies
Soon, there were major personnel changes in Qin Tianjian, and Li Daochang was also reused by the emperor, and Concubine Xi's plan could only end in complete failure, and her deliberate plan was once again dodged by the cuttlefish.
After this experience, the emperor was also a little dissatisfied with Concubine Xi, and his attitude towards her became increasingly cold.
What Li Daochang said is indeed true, not long after this incident, the funeral disaster fell on the head of Prince Yi, he is the emperor's thirteenth brother, and the emperor's brotherhood is deep, but after a lifetime of dedication to the court and the society, he died of hard work, but only forty-four years old.
The emperor was very sad, he was reluctant to let Prince Yi die, and even ordered the word "Yun" in his name "Yunxiang" to be changed back to the word "Yin", which became the only case among the courtiers of the Qing Dynasty who did not avoid the emperor. Since then, the emperor has often remembered the prince, but his health has become worse and worse.
A year after the death of the prince, the queen Ulanala also died due to a stubborn illness and was seriously ill, and this gentle and obedient queen also ended her life early.
In a blink of an eye, it has reached the tenth year of Yongzheng, March.
The cuttlefish sat under the corridor, looking at the entire Xianfu Palace, and couldn't help but feel a little sad, thinking that when she first entered the palace, she was just a little maid who didn't know anything about the world, and now it has been a full six years, and many things have changed dramatically. Her identity, her appearance, is no longer as weak and immature as she was then.
The palace is still the same, after the death of the queen, the power completely fell into the hands of Concubine Xi, Concubine Yu and Concubine Ning were promoted to the position of concubine, and Concubine Xi was jointly responsible for the affairs of the six palaces. But if you think about it, you also know that the main power is still Concubine Xi, Concubine Yu has always been obedient to her, and Concubine Ning is not good at playing with power, so the two of them naturally can't screw Concubine Xi.
The emperor has no intention of the concubines in the harem, as always, he only favors the cuttlefish, and sometimes occasionally goes to Concubine Ning to play chess and chat, or to discuss some important matters with Concubine Xi, and there has been no prince in the palace for many years.
As the saying goes, the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry. When the ministers of the court saw that the emperor's heirs were thin, they were already in a hurry, and they wrote down the matter in the memo and wrote to the emperor. persuade the emperor to pamper the concubines in the harem and spread out as soon as possible. What's more, he took this opportunity to recommend his daughter to the palace, and there was also a draft of Emperor Jian.
Thanks to the efforts of the ministers, the emperor finally got tired of their nonsense. It was agreed that among the ladies of the courtiers' families, a few would be selected to enter the palace.
Today, these women entered the palace and were given titles, Nala was named Na Changzai, Tong Jia was named Tong Changzai, and there were two Han women, one was Yu Promise, and the other was An Promise. Among the four, the youngest Yu Yu was only 14 years old. The eldest Chang Zai was only eighteen years old, and they were all young and delicate girls.
The cuttlefish is already twenty-two years old this year, although it is also a good age, but compared to the newcomers, she is still a little old, and her feelings are a little low, and she is inexplicably sentimental.
"Ruyi, time flies so fast, we're both old."
Ruyi stood aside and watered a few peonies in the courtyard. She replied with a smile, "Don't talk nonsense, the slave and maid are not old." "She is the same age as the cuttlefish, if she hadn't entered the palace. It's long overdue to get married and have children.
The hope of the cuttlefish who wanted to marry her to Imperial Doctor Shen had long been shattered, Imperial Doctor Shen married Han, and the two barely maintained their relationship as husband and wife. It's a pity that he is a sick man, so sick that he can only lie on the bed and gasp, even if Imperial Doctor Shen is good at medical skills, he can't rejuvenate himself.
Can't marry Imperial Doctor Shen, with Ruyi's age and family background, presumably she won't be able to marry a very good person after leaving the palace, and the cuttlefish doesn't want her to commit to a rough person who is poor and white and can't read a few words, so he never mentioned letting her out of the palace.
If the cuttlefish was in a daze, he was not in a very good mood, so he asked, "What's the matter, master, what are you unhappy about, could it be that there are a few new people in the palace who are always agreeing, and you are jealous?" ”
"No, don't talk nonsense." The cuttlefish reprimanded softly, "How could I eat such useless vinegar?" Bored. ”
It's not jealous, it's just that everyone will inevitably feel unhappy when a newcomer is added to the harem, and the cuttlefish just affects the mood.
Ruyi put down the kettle in his hand, "The weather is so good, why don't you go out with you, so that you don't get bored here, let's go to the Imperial Garden, what do you think?" ”
Idle is also idle, go to the imperial garden to see the scenery is not bad, the cuttlefish nodded and responded, and then changed his clothes and Ruyi out of Xianfu Palace.
After arriving at the Imperial Garden, Ruyi looked at flowers and smelled flowers everywhere, she has always been very interested in flowers and plants, and when she met what she liked, she would also plant some in Xianfu Palace, cuttlefish could not see any cuteness about these flowers and plants, she had no intention of this, just wandering around Ruyi.
Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter not far ahead, and the girl's laughter was as crisp as a silver bell, which made the cuttlefish wonder who was so happy here.
She took a few steps forward and saw a woman of her age, accompanied by two palace maids, sitting on a swing.
"Shake higher, faster, higher."
The girl was wearing a peach-colored palace dress, with a pink beaded hairpin on her head, and a few round southern pearls embedded in the middle of her hair bun.
Seeing someone coming, the girl did not stop the swing, but swinged higher, and even the pink pendant on the earlobe swayed violently.
"Who are you, and who are you always there?" There was a pride in her delicate voice.
When the cuttlefish saw this, he knew that the person in front of him must be one of the new concubines, and she was dressed well, and there was a slight domineering look in her eyes, she must have been from a noble background, so she was either Nala or Tong Jia.
Ruyi behind him said loudly, "This is a concubine Niangniang, why don't you salute when you see Niangniang, this is not in accordance with the rules." ”
As soon as she heard that it was a concubine, the girl hurriedly jumped off the swing and bowed respectfully, "The concubine has just entered the palace, and she doesn't know Mount Tai with her eyes, and she asks the concubine not to blame. ”
The cuttlefish didn't want to blame her, just looked at the face in front of him, immature, watery, lively, but his posture was too ordinary, and his demeanor was unbearable, he was not a beauty, at most it was not ugly.
She asked softly, "Who are you, that Chang or Tong Chang?" ”
The girl was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly replied, "The concubine is Tong Jia's family who lives in Zhongcui Palace, and the mother has good eyesight." (To be continued.) )
