Chapter 386, Reading the Concubine
On this day, the spring is just right, the peony and peony in the garden bloom one after another, and the newly opened flowers in the early morning are still stained with dew, which is extraordinarily lined with delicate flowers.
Yinyu yawned, he slept too late last night, he didn't want to get up early, but Xiaoyu suddenly wanted to enjoy the flowers on a whim, and Yinyu had to get up to accompany him.
Lin Xianyu held a pair of sharp scissors, brushed and cut off his favorite flowers, and put them in the basket, and after a while, there was a basket full of red and purple peonies.
She smiled and said, "Who told you to make a fuss last night!" Even if you are young and healthy, you must pay attention to avoid kidney loss.
Looking at his wife's energetic appearance, Yin Yujun's face was very depressed.
The physical strength is not as good as his wife, although Yinyu knew this kind of thing early on, he was still very depressed in his heart.
Lin Xianyu covered his lips and giggled, "In the future, you have to go to bed early and get up early, this is the way to maintain health." β
Yinyu knew that Xiaoyu was quite insightful about the way to maintain longevity, and he was able to live to the age of antiquity in his last life, thanks to Xiaoyu's careful cooking of various medicinal foods to regulate his body.
"Got it." Yin Yu responded depressedly, and then said: "By the way, a month ago, my cousin Feng Shenyi added a second son to his knees, named Fuen. I thought, if you like it, pass on that child. β
Lin Xianyu hurriedly asked, "Can Feng Shen Yimian agree?" β
The corners of Yinyu's mouth twitched, and his smile was full of charming confidence: "Fu En is just a concubine, and I still have the title of captain of the light car, of course he will not refuse this kind of good thing." β
Yinyu originally had no title in this life, and although Gulun was equivalent to Gushan Beizi, this was only the same, not a title, and it could not be passed on to future generations.
However, Yinyu went south to handle overseas trade matters for Emperor Jiaqing, and now he has made a lot of profits, but then the Feng family was hanged, so he could not be granted an official position, so Emperor Jiaqing gave him the title of first-class lieutenant.
The first-class light car lieutenant is the third grade, under the baron, it must be passed on to the descendants from generation to generation, that is to say, the children can only attack the fourth rank of the cavalry captain, the grandchildren are the five-rank cloud cavalry captain, and the great-grandchildren are the last seven-rank cavalry captain. And then it's gone.
In the Qing Dynasty, except for a few iron hat princes and county kings, the titles were basically hereditary.
But if you get a knighthood for nothing, of course Feng Shen Yimian will not refuse.
"But you're still young, so there's no rush on this matter." Lin Xianyu said.
Yinyu said "Hmm", "That's right, children or something, the most annoying, wait until Feng Shen Yimian grows up!" "ββIn the previous life, Hongxi, a little rabbit cub, did not rely on his young age to spoil the little fish!
Lin Xianyu: -_-||
"I went into the garden in the afternoon, and the concubine has been in discord recently." Lin Xianyu couldn't help but be a little worried, Concubine Xuan was also old, and she would die on the day she couldn't keep it.
The concubines live in Changchun Garden all year round, and these old ladies have nothing to do, that is, they listen to operas and play cards, and they never go to the Old Summer Palace in Su Ri, so naturally, the emperor's concubines rarely come over.
However, today Concubine Niu Hulu came to the palace where Concubine Xuan lived.
Lin Xianyu couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
The concubine is a young and beautiful woman, only two years older than Princess Hexiao, she is born in the side of the palace, so as soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he named her a concubine, and later Niu Hulu gave birth to the third prince Miankai, and the queen died of illness, so Emperor Jiaqing promoted her to be a concubine.
The middle palace is hanging empty, and the power of the six palaces naturally falls into the hands of this noble concubine.
Concubine Niu Hulu smiled gently: "I heard that the concubine's spleen and stomach are not in harmony, so the palace specially brought some warm deer antler velvet, as well as the white jade Ruyi that was consecrated in front of the Buddha, which will definitely sweep away the evil and bless the concubine with an early recovery." β
Concubine Xuan couldn't help but be slightly surprised at the moment, the antler velvet was just that, this jade Ruyi was not an ordinary color, the whole body was carved from mutton fat jade, the texture was fair and delicate, warm and bright, "This Ruyi, it seems that when you gave birth to the third elder brother, the emperor rewarded it." β
Concubine Niu Hulu said with a smile: "The concubine has a good vision, the concubine gave birth to the third elder brother in childbirth and injured herself, so the emperor gave this Shouzhi pattern Ruyi to add blessings and longevity to the concubine." Now that the concubine has recovered, she is willing to dedicate this wishful thinking to the concubine. β
Concubine Xuan couldn't help but speak, "This is too precious!" β
Concubine Niu Hulu hurriedly smiled and glanced at Princess Hexiao, who was standing at the head of the concubine's bed, "The concubine entered the palace at a young age, and she was fortunate to be selected by the concubine as the attendant of the tenth princess. β
That's right, before marrying Emperor Jiaqing, this Niu Hulu concubine was also the companion of the tenth princess.
It's just that after marrying Fengshen Yinde with Princess Xiao, Niu Hulu went home to be elected.
Subsequently, Niu Hulu participated in the draft and was directly assigned to Prince Jia Yongyan as a side blessing.
With the rise of Yongyan's identity, Niu Hulu's family is already the honor of the noble concubine.
Now, the Empress Yuan has been dead for three years.
Therefore, Niu Hulu Guifei is suddenly so affectionate, what she wants is simply obvious.
The position of the middle palace, who can not be impressed?
Niu Hulu and Guifei are the most suitable candidates in terms of background, family, and birth.
Therefore, Jiaqing in history also established Niu Hulu as the queen.
In fact, as early as a few months ago, someone in the previous dynasty proposed to succeed to the Middle Palace, but was rejected by this Jiaqing Emperor with a cold face.
Therefore, the concubine is in a hurry to dredge up the contacts.
"The concubine has a heart." Concubine Xuan has also experienced a palace fight, how can she not see what the concubine wants, her face gradually turned cold, "It's just that this is a gift from the emperor, and it is the emperor's heart for the concubine, how can I accept it?" I understand your heart. β
Niu Hulu's smiling face suddenly couldn't be maintained, "Concubine......"
Concubine Yan showed a tired look: "I am not in good health and need to recuperate." Come back, concubine. β
Touching such a nail head-on, which was neither soft nor hard, the concubine was embarrassed, so she had to leave Changchun Garden with a disgraced face.
The concubine said faintly: "Recently, the emperor has suddenly become cold to the concubine, no wonder she is sick and rushed to the doctor, I am an old concubine, can I still care who the emperor appoints as the queen?" β
The concubine shook her head.
Lin Xianyu said with a smile: "It stands to reason that in the past few years, the noble concubine has been virtuous in taking care of the affairs of the six palaces, and she is also the daughter of a famous family in terms of identity, and the emperor is not satisfied with her for some reason." β
Concubine Tang said: "Providence is unpredictable. β
As she spoke, Concubine Xuan patted the back of Lin Xianyu's hand, "You are a princess, you don't have to get involved in this kind of thing." β
"Don't worry, I can save it." - She sat on the sidelines and ate melon seeds and watched the play, which was very exciting.
This kind of thing is indispensable in the harem of any emperor.
Although Emperor Jiaqing's harem is far less huge than that of the Qianlong Dynasty, there are also several favorite concubines. In addition to the highest-ranking concubine Niu Hulu, there are also concubines Liu Jia, Ying Concubine Hou Jia, and Chun Concubine Dong Jia, who are also quite favored.
