Extra 5, the Queen Mother's career (5)
In the summer of the second year of Muchang, Yao Jiaxin lived in the Tranquility Hall of the Old Summer Palace.
The renovated pension palace, the furniture is according to her preferences, and there are some things that are used to it, and the study room is directly moved from Bitong Academy. Therefore, today's Bitong Academy is temporarily unable to live in people, so the Empress Fucha chose the nearest Kaiyun from Kyushu Qingyan, and virtuously placed all the concubines in the palace near the Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace, so that the emperor could summon luck.
The queen of the Fucha clan deserves it, and she is indeed very virtuous.
is so virtuous that Yao Jiaxin feels that she is a little tired as a queen.
However, she is already the queen mother, and she should not and does not need to meddle in Hongxu's harem affairs.
Every day, when you have nothing to do, you go out to yo-yo the cat, or make an appointment with Yugui Taifei and Zhao Taifei to eat tea and enjoy the flowers, which is also comfortable. The rest of Yinzhen's concubines have all moved to live in Changchun Garden, and Yao Jiaxin only left the Yugui Concubine Geng and Zhao Concubine Nala, who looked pleasing to the eye.
Under Yao Jiaxin's arrangement, Concubine Zhao has moved to live in Shuimu Mingse, north of the Tranquility Palace. Although this Shuimu Mingse is not as spacious and gorgeous as the Wuling Spring Pavilion, it is also an elegant and chic palace, which is very suitable for the elderly.
Concubine Zhao has no son, I thought that I was going to Changchun Garden to die alone, but I didn't expect the Queen Mother to leave her a place in the Old Summer Palace, Concubine Zhao was very happy, so she often asked Concubine Yugui to go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye. Concubine Zhao is already a warm person, and as she gets older, she becomes more and more able to speak, full of sweet words, which often coaxes Yao Jiaxin's heart to bloom.
In the early summer, it is not too hot, and the breeze in the quiet hall is very pleasant.
Bo Xue cut a large handful of newly opened Yao Huang peonies and inserted them in Su Qing's Tianqiu bottle, which was bright yellow and eye-catching.
Concubine Zhao said with a smile: "I heard that the queen will hold a peony banquet in a few days, but it reminds the concubines of the scene when the queen mother held a peony spring banquet." ”
Yao Jiaxin smiled and looked at Concubine Zhao's and charming face: "If you like it, you can go and have a good time." Hongu was lazy. ”
Concubine Yugui pursed her lips and smiled, "The concubine only thinks about taking care of her old age now, but Sister Zhao is still young, and she still likes to be lively." After learning that she would be able to go to her son's mansion next year to raise her, Concubine Yugui was in a very good mood.
Concubine Zhao smiled a little embarrassedly, "The emperor's harem now is not lively. Catch up with Ming'er to choose a show and bring in some newcomers, then it will be lively and interesting. ”
The draft, it feels like it's a long way off.
His Majesty the Fourth Master has reigned for twenty-six years, and he has only chosen one show. Even if the sons reached the age when they should marry Fujin, they were just for her to summon the nobles of the Eight Banners to read.
Concubine Yugui also agreed: "Now in the emperor's harem, there are only one queen, one concubine, two concubines and a few nobles agreeing, which is indeed a bit thin." ”
Yao Jiaxin smiled, just these add up, there are eight or nine, but for a person with the status of the emperor, it is indeed a few.
Yao Jiaxin's expression was indifferent, "It's been less than three years since the death of the first emperor, let's talk about this later." ”
Concubine Yugui and Concubine Zhao immediately became interested and stopped continuing this topic, and Concubine Yugui smiled: "Speaking of which, this Prince Shou Fujin is also a poor person, I heard that he was seriously ill this spring." ”
Yao Jiaxin sighed faintly, first her daughter died and then her husband died, it was indeed not easy for Suo Yuluo.
Concubine Yugui's eyes rolled and she whispered: "Prince Shou has always had the mercy of the emperor first, and now he has no incense, which is really pitiful." I don't know if the Queen Mother has pity? ”
Yao Jiaxin was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Concubine Yugui meant, which was the meaning of hoping that she would give Prince Shou an incense. And...... Hongyang has two sons-in-law.
Although Hongtian is now a prince and a prince, there is only one son, and the eldest son Yongying can inherit the prince and be rich and glorious, but the second son Yongbi's future title is only very limited. Rather than mixing up with the low-end title in the future, it is better to pass the Jishou Prince's Mansion, then even if he is demoted to the title of lord in the future, he will also be the king of Doro County!
It is not uncommon for Concubine Yugui to be tempted.
Yao Jiaxin smiled, "I will mention this matter to the emperor when I go back to the palace." ”
Early the next morning, Hongxu got off the morning court and went straight to the Tranquility Hall to ask for peace.
There are no outsiders on the left and right, and Yao Jiaxin doesn't go around in circles, so she directly mentioned this matter to Hongxu.
After Hongxu heard this, his face was a little hesitant, "Don't hide it from the emperor's mother, I plan to let Yonglang succeed." ”
Yao Jiaxin was suddenly surprised, "Yonglang is your eldest son." ”
Hongxu sighed: "Because he is the eldest son, it is the best choice to succeed." ”
Yao Jiaxin was silent for a moment, and understood what Hongxu meant, the identity of the eldest prince is really embarrassing, rather than growing up in the future, he will be involved in the succession and hurt the relationship between father and son, it is better to succeed from the beginning, although it is the hope of the great position, but it is also far away from the fight, and the glory of the second half of his life can be expected to be stable.
Although the Fucha clan is very virtuous, they have always been very wary of Concubine Hui's mother and son.
"Did you tell Concubine Hui about this?" Yao Jiaxin asked suddenly.
Hongxu nodded, "I mentioned it vaguely to Concubine Hui, and Concubine Hui only begged me to raise Yonglang to adulthood. ”
This concubine is really very wise.
Yao Jiaxin nodded, as long as the child is raised under his knees, what if he is a step? It's just a change of name and an extra heir. In the future, Prince Shou's title and everything will be owned by Yonglang, which is a real benefit.
"In that case, there is no eternal blessing." Concubine Yugui can only say that it is a pity. If Yonglang is not the eldest son, there is a good chance that the inheritance of Prince Shou's Mansion will fall on Yongbi.
Hongxu smiled and said: "If Yongbi is loyal and filial, what if I will reward him with the title of Beizi or Baylor in the future?" "-His two younger brothers are really hard to say, but Hongday and Hongxun have been doing their best, and he naturally will not treat his brothers and nephews badly.
Hongxu said again: "When Yongying and Yongbi are older, I will give their brothers to study in the palace and cultivate them." ”
Yao Jiaxin nodded, with such an arrangement, presumably Concubine Yugui would not be too regretful.
A few days later, Hongxu officially issued an order, saying that he had mercy on Prince Shou's heir, so he would leave the eldest brother Yonglang out of Prince Shou's mansion, but the eldest brother was still young, so he continued to be raised under the knee of Concubine Hui, and when he became an adult, he officially moved to Prince Shou's mansion and raised Suo Xue Luo.
As soon as the will came out, the happiest was naturally the queen Fucha, she thought that she would have to watch Concubine Hui and the eldest brother carefully for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect the emperor to attach so much importance to her son-in-law that she would succeed the eldest brother. And Concubine Hui actually agreed to this matter, which shows that she really has no ambition.
The Fucha clan was finally completely relieved, and the tense atmosphere in the harem was suddenly eliminated.
The six palaces are harmonious, the concubines are harmonious, and Hongxu is becoming more and more full of spring breeze. - Yao Jiaxin saw it in her eyes, and she couldn't wait to take a sip every time. After the death of His Majesty the Fourth Master, Hongxu did not call the concubine for half a year because of the military affairs of Miao Jiang, but after Miao Jiang was pacified, he began to call the concubine, obviously without the intention of keeping filial piety for three years.
It's also true, as the emperor, he is fully qualified to replace twenty-seven months with twenty-seven days, and Hongxu has insisted on half a year, which has been counted for a long time.
Therefore, the concubine Chen is happy.
