As far as I know, Jingren Palace is not only splendid and exquisitely repaired, but also has a bit of history. Emperor Kangxi and his brother, that is, Fuquan, the second son of Emperor Shunzhi, the two brothers have always been very affectionate. Emperor Kangxi even ordered a painter in the palace to paint a painting of himself and his brother Fuquan sitting together in the shade of a paulownia tree to show that the two were old together. In the forty-second year of Kangxi, when Fuquan passed away, Emperor Kangxi lived in Jingren Palace in a mournful mood during the mourning period.

There are also Qing Xiao Kangzhang Empress Tong Jia, Qing Yongzheng Chaoxi Guifei, Qing Qianlong Dynasty Chunhui Emperor Guifei Su, Jiaqing Dynasty Xiaoshu Rui Empress Xi Tara Clan, Qing Xianfeng Dynasty Wan Guifei Suo Yuluo Shi have lived here. In the Qing Tongzhi Dynasty, the imperial concubine Hesheri, Zhuang and the imperial concubine Alut, that is, the concubine Yu and the concubine Xun among the four concubines, the two were concubines who received the treasure in Jingren Palace when they were concubines.

I turned around and returned to the courtyard, and saw that the pomegranate flowers on the leaves were in full bloom, clusters, clusters, clusters, each as bright as a tongue of fire, and each tree spread out like a magnificent brocade in the heavens and the earth.

I glanced at the eunuchs and palace maids who had been kneeling in an orderly manner on both sides, bowed slightly, and asked casually, "Is this a newly planted pomegranate tree?" ”

The palace maid who supported me respectfully replied: "Lafayette commanded that the new concubines in the palace should live in a variety of osmanthus and pomegranate colors in the palace room, so as to show that the new upstart is in charge, and the inner palace is auspicious, and the meaning of many sons and many blessings is taken." ”

I nodded, "Lafayette Lao bothered," and then frowned at Bai Ge, Bai Ge took out a few purses from his sleeve, which was full of silver ingots, and I smiled and said, "You are also tired for a day, and these silver should be used as a reward for you to drink tea." ”

All the eunuchs and palace maids knelt down to thank me. I hurriedly screamed.

As soon as Bai Ge distributed the silver, before he entered the main hall, a little eunuch outside the palace gate had already hurriedly come over and said, "The auspicious time has arrived, and you should go to Qingning Palace for the canonization ceremony." ”

I asked, "Is it so fast?" ”

The little eunuch said with a smile: "Naturally, the queen mother was in the middle palace ceremony yesterday, and she has already gone to Ningshou Palace with the emperor to salute Lafayette early this morning. ”

I laughed and stuffed a bag of silver into the little eunuch, "Then ask my father-in-law to lead the way!" ”

There is a yellow hoo in front of the Qingning Palace, there is a yellow case in the hoove, the main and deputy envoys to the Qingning Palace read out the book, into Manchuria, Mongolia, Chinese characters three kinds of expressions, read out in turn, and celebrate the ceremony, I and Ziyu both knelt down to take the book, and the six Su three kneeling and three bowing rites, the ceremony was completed, and the deputy envoy retired and reinstated.

I didn't see Cixi and Emperor Guangxu in Qingning Palace, after the ceremony, I returned to Jingren Palace and asked only to know that Cixi and Emperor Guangxu should read the book treasure in the Qianqing Palace when performing the canonization ceremony, the sun has passed noon, from early in the morning busy to now I feel very tired, just want to enter the palace to take off the hanging Raush on the head and go to the couch to rest for a while, Gao Wanzhi, Dai Chunrong hurried over and laughed that Cixi's reward has arrived at the door, and it is Li Lianying personally sent. I don't want to be lazy, so I had to get up and invite in, Li Lianying was thoughtful, first gave a salute and asked for peace, and said to me with a smile on his face: "Lafayette specially ordered the servants to send these rewards to Jingren Palace, and the servants really dare not slack off." ”

I glanced out lightly, sure enough, there were a lot of silk and satin, gold and jade in front of me, for a moment, I quietly retracted my gaze, and said with a smile: "Thank you Lafayette for the reward, I can't go to Ningshou Palace to kowtow to Lafayette, the heart of the servant also asked Li Anda to answer on his behalf, Li Anda has also worked hard, why don't you drink tea and rest before leaving." As I spoke, I immediately instructed Bai Ge, "Why don't you hurry up and make a pot of good dragon wells for Li Anda." ”

As soon as Bai Ge raised his feet to go, Li Lianying hurriedly smiled and said, "No need, where can the slave rest, don't you have to send a reward to the little master of Jin," and said, "The little master's mind slave must be brought." ”

I glanced at Bai Ge, Bai Ge understood, and immediately took out three gold ingots from his sleeve and sent them, I stepped forward and said with a smile: "This palace is new to the palace, and I hope that Li Anda will guide him more in the future." ”

Li Lianying resigned first, of course I knew that he did it on purpose, so I smiled a few more words that could not be refuted, and finally Li Lianying accepted it with a seemingly embarrassed attitude, looking at the back of his departing flattery, six words came to mind: hypocrite, real villain.

Subsequently, the rewards of other concubines were also sent one after another, only knowing that these eunuchs and palace maids were a little decent, and it was not easy to offend, and they kept ushering in and sending them, and there was no chance to rest at all.

Seeing that the sunlight gradually dimmed, through the window screen on the black lacquer small table cast a plum-red mottled light and shadow, the cross vertical and horizontal like bamboo branches blown messily by the autumn wind, Jingren Palace finally quieted down a little, Bai Ge, Ying'er, Que'er three people are counting the rewards in the ear room, Gao Wanzhi, Dai Chunrong is still waiting outside the palace to come, I don't dare to fall asleep, just lazily leaning on the couch to look around, not after a while, I heard Gao Wanzhi's voice outside the door: "Jin little lord auspicious!" ”

I got up hurriedly, and before I walked to the porch, Ziyu had already walked in with a smile, and the smile on my face was just not shallow or thick, like a spring breeze in the water, which made people look very comfortable, "I see you lively on weekdays, why is this wilting?" ”

I smiled softly and sighed: "My sister doesn't know me yet, and I'm most afraid of these social things." ”

Ziyu took my hand and sat down slowly, "I just came in from outside and saw a lot of rewards. ”

I smiled and asked, "Sister's Yonghe Palace reward should be the same, right?" ”

Ziyu nodded and said lightly: "This is a good thing, it shows that there are people in the palace who value our sisters, and the future will be better." ”

I sighed lowly, "I know," I was silent for a while, and saw that in addition to me and Ziyu in the room, only Ji Yue was serving, so I said again, "But in fact, I don't want these rewards in my heart." ”

Ziyu asked, "Why?" ”

I lowered my eyes," as the saying goes: take people's hands softly. I just don't want to be controlled by people. ”

Ziyu smiled slightly: "It's just a little reward, what can it be, but all newcomers enter the palace have this rule," she thought for a while, and said, "But if you really don't like it, just find an excuse to slowly return it in the future." ”

I nodded, suddenly thought of something, got up and went to the makeup to take the snuff bottle from last time, and said with a smile: "The last time I went to Inagikaku, I was going to return my sister's things, but something went wrong in the middle, but I forgot about it and brought it back to me." After speaking, I handed the snuffbox in my hand to Ziyu.

Ziyu smiled, rubbed it in his hand and played with it, "It's a shame that you still remember this thing." ”

I smiled, "The last time I took out Ying'er, Que'er said that it was an excellent thing, my sister gave it to me when she was in Guangzhou, I have always stayed by my side, thinking that I don't need it now, besides, most of the people in the palace are snobbish, and my sister has always been frugal, but they all say that after entering the palace, there must be some good things to be around so as not to be left out in the cold, and this thing is my sister's after all. ”

Ziyu laughed, "You're right, I gave it to you when you said it was good-looking, and besides, you don't lack anything by your side now," she swept her eyes lightly on the snuffbox, and then raised her hand to shake the snuffbox in front of my eyes, and looked at me with a smile, "Then I'll take this back?" ”

I smiled, gave a light "um", nodded, and looked out the window at the sunset, half of which was half red and half red, it turned out that even the sunset in the Forbidden City was different from the outside.
