Chapter 116 - Stimulating the Emperor's Mother

Hongyi walked to Donger with the burden given by Kong Sizhen.

Before getting into the sedan chair, Xiao Liangzi came over to take over the seemingly uneasy burden, but was stopped by Hongyi shaking his head. Next to the palace gate behind him, Kong Sizhen saw it clearly, and his eyes also showed a look of "affection and unity" such as gratitude, emotion, expectation, and expectation.

Hongyi wanted to go back to the East Second Institute as soon as possible and read these two good books that were strongly recommended by Kong Youde. But when he walked through the Longzong Gate, entered the side gate of the Qianqing Gate, and then went out of the Rijing Gate and entered the East Sixth Palace, he suddenly remembered: The agreement he made with Concubine Kang last night has not been implemented yet! So he hurriedly commanded:

"Let's go to Jingren Palace!"

"Huh!" Liang Gong comprehended, and led the sedan chair man to turn right into the left door of Xianhe.

Concubine Kang was already like an ant on a hot pot in the main hall of Jingren Palace.

Yesterday, Xuan Ye visited his mother late at night, and Tong Jia's family was originally just moved by the deep love between his youngest son and his mother and son. Speaking of emotion, Little Belle changed his words and mentioned "the mother is more precious than the son" and "the son is honored by the mother"!

As for "mothers and sons are expensive", she really experienced it as the mother of Little Belle. In the past two years, not to mention his mother's two brothers, Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei, have become more and more intimate to him, and even his father Tong Tulai (formerly known as Tong Shengnian) has become increasingly powerful in the court. Although he is still a first-class duke and the leader of the Han Army, he is the owner of the Blue Flag, but others now look up to him because of his grandson! Two days ago, my mother's family also asked someone to give a message, saying that Xuan Ye is now on an official errand and walking between the yamen, and if he has kung fu, he can go back to his grandfather's house to sit down.

There are few people who go out by themselves outside the palace. It's all up to the mother's words. But the changes in this palace are clear to themselves. Not to mention anything else, just say that the old eunuch Wu Liangfu, now seeing that he no longer has the original frivolity, he has completely changed to the appearance of a slave, calling "Master Kang" one by one, and he also sends the little eunuch around him to visit one or two every three or five times, and the furnishings in this palace are also added and replaced according to their own preferences. Even in the past six months, the opportunity to "turn the green card" to sleep has increased slightly, which makes those sisters envious, or "lingering". But what can be done about it? Who let you not give birth to such an auspicious prince to the emperor? Only Fuquan's Eniang, Dong E, seems to show this emotion a little blatantly. Several times I deliberately got close to Fuquan, but I hit a soft nail. But this is all a trivial matter, as long as his son Xuan Ye is safe and sound, he will have nothing to worry about.

But the phrase "mother is proud of her son" came out of Xuan Ye's mouth. Tong Jiashi was indeed a little puzzled. Or rather, embarrassment. How can I make my son more honorable? Never thought about it. I don't dare to think about it. With his status in front of the emperor or even the queen mother, he rashly fought for his son, but he was afraid that it would backfire. That day in Cining Palace. Didn't the Queen Mother warn herself about this?

"Mother, Xuan Ye has some ideas, do you think it's okay? ...... "When his son lowered his voice and told himself the clue, Tong Jiashi was amazed: it is amazing that a baby who is less than three years old has such a scheming! Although some details are unclear, she decided not to speculate anymore, but accepted her son's plan in its entirety, and waited for the implementation to start early this morning.

Unfortunately, this morning, he was just about to leave Jingren Palace to do the errand that his son explained, and he bumped into the Sun family of the East Second Institute head-on, holding the yellow cloak that he had sent a few days ago in his arms, saying that the master had grown rapidly recently, and he needed to change it again. This is just the beginning, the two of them know it, but it is not good to talk about it on the road, so they come back to the palace one after the other. Concubine Kang knew that something else had gone wrong this morning, and Xuan Ye said that she would have to wait for herself.

Then wait, but as a result, he waited for the Park family again, and let himself go to the same as Kong Sizhen. This is easy to do, they are all daughters of the Han family, and they have long been tacitly "sympathetic" in this palace. Judging from Kong Sizhen's words and deeds in Jingren Palace and his intimacy with himself, this errand should be done well.

But can the big things agreed on last night still be done? Xuan Ye didn't talk anymore, and Concubine Kang was not the master who could pretend to be a big deal in her heart, so she was now restless, waiting for her son's further "instructions". Coincidentally, Xuan Ye himself came to the door to deliver the order!

"Xuan Ye, you're here!" As soon as she saw her son, Concubine Kang blurted out.

"E-niang, talk inside. Go down, all of you. Hongyi took the hand of "Reborn Niang" and walked to the inner room, while holding back the left and right people.

"Xuanye ......" Concubine Kang is a person who doesn't pay attention, and at this time, she can only be full of a strong sense of responsibility for "the son is proud of the mother", ready to fight, and just wait for her son's order.

"Mother, let's go to Qixiang Palace [1]!"

"Okay, Xuan Ye, or those statements made yesterday?" Concubine Kang immediately took action, and also asked a key question.

"Well, mother, you just follow my words. The key is to take the initiative to bring up her form alone! Hongyi nodded vigorously, counting it as encouragement to Concubine Kang. He himself knows that according to the historical records of later generations, especially the observation and judgment of the past two years, although Tong Jiashi is not a stupid person, he is by no means a scheming person, although there are some sleek sophistications necessary to survive in the harb~ palace, but it is really not good to be entrusted with a big task between Tang and abruptly, and it must be supported and encouraged.

Concubine Kang was in front, Xuan Ye was behind, the two of them went out of Xianhe and the left door again, entered the scene and the door, passed by the large construction site of Kunning Palace, which was a busy scene, and then went out of Longfu Gate, and then entered Xianhe and the right gate, which was regarded as passing through the three major halls of the back ~ court and coming to the door of Qixiang Palace.

Originally, in the twelfth year of Shunzhi, the Empress Dowager of Fulinzun decreed that the Kunning Palace should be rebuilt, and the palace should be rebuilt in imitation of the appearance of the Qingning Palace in Shengjing, as the main place for shamanism to worship the gods, only the east side of the room was separated into a warm pavilion, as a dormitory for living, and the four rooms on the west side of the main hall gate were set up with three kangs on the south, north and west sides, as a place to worship the gods. And set up a pot stove on the back eaves opposite the door, which was used for killing animals and cooking meat. This major project was not until the twelfth day of the leap month of the thirteenth year of Shunzhi in the second year, "Qianqing Palace, Qianqing Gate, Kunning Palace, Kunning Gate, Jiaotai Palace...... Wait for the palace to be completed. Close the dragon gate, insert the sword and hang the card. Send officials to sacrifice to the gods of the Tusi workers and the Simen". That's the overall completion. [See the record of "Qing Shilu"]

As a result, the young queen Borzigit had to move out of her main palace, Kunning Palace, and moved to this Qixiang Palace [where the author Hongyi speculated, there is no official record of which side palace the queen moved to live in during the rebuilding of Kunning Palace]. If you count from the time she was established by the concubine in May last year, the days she lived in Kunning Palace would only be a little more than a year and three months.

Concubine Kang led Xuan Ye to meet the queen together, which was not a special thing. As the main lord of the six palaces, in addition to taking all the concubines to Cining Palace every day to greet his aunt and grandmother, the queen mother, the other main lords of the six palaces will often bring the concubines in the side halls of his palace to greet the queen.

However, today's visit is Xuanye, the second son of the emperor, who is auspicious from the sky, and he is naturally different. The queen heard the news. Command your men to go out to meet them. He still sits on the throne.

"Slave Tong Jia, respectfully invite Queen Jin An!" Entering the main hall, Concubine Kang took the lead in giving a salute. Although you are a concubine, you can be in front of the queen of the family, who is marrying the Ming media and entering through the Qing Dynasty. I'm just a concubine. Even if you do it, the imperial concubine. In front of the queen, you are still a concubine! Therefore, Tong Jia's family called himself a slave.

"Erchen Xuanye. Greetings to the emperor's mother! Hongyi followed behind Tong Jia's and bowed three times to see the queen. In front of the lord of the Sixth Palace, she Tong Jiashi could not enjoy the honorific title of "Huang Eniang", and at best she could only be reduced to "Eniang". No matter what other concubines are born to, as long as your mother is not the queen, there can only be one "emperor" on a formal occasion, unless you wait until you become the emperor, you can have two "queen mothers" - the queen of the main palace is respected as the "queen mother", and your own mother is called the "mother queen mother", if they are all alive. Even at that time, the nominal "genuine" mother was still the "queen mother" queen mother who had no blood relationship with her.

"Sister Tong, get up!" After the service, the queen motioned to the palace maid to take a seat. For this Concubine Kang, the queen always has a feeling that she can't let go of it, and everything actually stems from the night when she didn't enter the palace...... Forget it, put it down! So, the young and beautiful Mongolian girl turned to the kneeling little Xuanye and said softly:

"Xuan Ye, it's cool underground, get up quickly, and sit down here with Huang Eniang. You haven't come to my Qixiang Palace for some days! If you want to eat something, the emperor ordered the imperial dining room to prepare for you. ”

Between the words, the intimacy is immediate. If it was usual, Concubine Kang would have been careful, but today there is no such small-bellied chicken intestines. When she heard that the queen was close to her son, she was happy from the inside out, and she decided to continue to work hard for the sake of "the son is proud of his mother".

"Huang Eniang, the son of the minister now has the emperor with him, and he has been busy going on errands these days. I didn't get empty until today, didn't this Ma Er come to greet you? When I walked to the door, I happened to be concubine Kang, and I came together. Hongyi took the initiative to change to Mongolian to show closeness. Explain why you came with your mother, you want to deliberately pull your relationship with Concubine Kang farther away, highlighting the intimacy between the nominal "emperor's mother" and "sons".

"Oh, it's good to come, otherwise I'm still thinking about who to send to the Qiandong Five Institute to see you. I haven't seen him for days......"

"Do you want to look at me, or do you want me to be blessed with all Ahun?" Hongyi deliberately coquettish, as if he was jealous.

"The big brother Fuquan is not like you, and there is no emperor like me in my heart! Fuquan is also Lord Belle, but he is led by Dong E's family and his mother to greet me every day...... "The queen is such a character, she goes straight to the point, and she doesn't know how to save face for Concubine Kang below."

"Alas, queen, how can the slave not want to see Tian'er bring Xuan Ye to greet you? But what can I do? Didn't the queen mother make a decree, saying that our Xuanye was born auspicious, and it was not something that a mortal woman like me could raise haode, so she had already given me a grounding order and not go to the East Second Institute without permission! Otherwise, ......" Concubine Kang said as she began to secretly wipe her tears, completely in accordance with the outline of action set last night, and she also performed sincerely.

"Good sister, am I not joking? Don't shed tears, it's sad to look at me! Seeing Concubine Kang crying, the queen was a little annoyed, but she was a little embarrassed.

"Oh, the slave is rude, and the queen looks sad." Tong Jiashi hurriedly accepted it when he saw it, and turned to another topic-

"Queen, Xuan Ye is growing up day by day, and he is getting into trouble earlier than other children of the same age, so why don't you join the Queen Mother and ask for a decree to bring Xuan Ye into your palace. First, he will also be protected by you, and second, let him know your nurturing grace, and when he grows up, he will honor you well! ”

"This ......," the young queen's heart began to calculate quickly. Don't look at my usual silence, it doesn't mean that I'm just stupid! Your mother and son suddenly said this for no reason, there must be something behind it.

"It's a good thing, Xuanye is blessed with auspiciousness, and he is even more well-behaved. Let's Hou~ Palace sisters, which one doesn't say that Xiao Xuanye is a blessing of the Qing Dynasty? It's just ......" the queen spoke slowly, but stopped halfway.

"Xuan Ye is willing to follow the emperor's side to do his filial piety, and when he grows up, he must honor you well!" Hongyi sat beside the queen and lost no time in drilling into his arms.

"Hehe, Xuan Ye is the most well-behaved. It's just that you are a good omen for the Qing Dynasty from God, and even the Queen Mother can't wait to raise you personally. The queen smiled and was relieved, and couldn't help touching Xiao Xuanye's head.

"Queen, the Queen Mother is your own Mama, the slave thinks about it, she will never be willing to let you be alone in this palace all day long, right?" Concubine Kang said something to the point.

If this sentence is put on other people, it will be fine, but it is extremely disrespectful to say it to the queen, and she said it to the queen herself.

The young empress, on the third day of the fifth month of the 11th year of Shunzhi, was hired as the imperial concubine together with her own sister, and was officially made the empress twenty-five days later, and held a big wedding with the emperor Fulin on June 16. Speaking of which, everything went well, but at that time, it was before and after Xuan Ye passed the full moon and "did a full mouth", and it was also the time when Fu Lin was under Wu Liangfu's ingenious arrangement, and his younger brother and sister Dong E's were like glue and had to taste the forbidden ~ fruit!

In other words, after Fulin "abolished the first queen and the aunt of the current queen and changed it to a concubine", in order to be full of harmony, perhaps he also liked the appearance of this Mongolian girl, and once again listed her, who was also a Borzigit clan, and his niece as the queen.

But unfortunately, since the first day of entering the palace, the new queen has not been favored by the emperor, but lives every day surrounded by all kinds of scandals about her husband and his younger siblings. Can you imagine what kind of bitterness and sadness the bride is? For more than a year, the emperor has not taken the initiative to look for him once, and he has not even touched himself again except for the night in the cave room!

And all this, in the final analysis, is also the credit of your Tong Jia's family! If you hadn't "cooperated" from it, how could she Dong E's family be able to successfully enter the palace and climb onto the emperor's dragon bed? !

Seeing the queen's displeasure, Hongyi knew that the words of "reborn mother" had an effect, and it was time to go out by himself.

"Huang Eniang, the retainer really likes to serve you in your Qixiang Palace, so that not only can the son be honored by his mother, but also he can often meet with Concubine Jing! She also loves children and treats me like her own son! ”

What the? Concubine Jing? The emperor's deposed queen, my aunt? You say she'...... She also likes small children?

When the queen heard this, her face was discolored and she was stunned on the spot!
