Chapter 277: Crowned as a concubine
The day of the small election is set on the eighth day of the third month of the ninth year of Yong'an, and the same as the general election, after the primary election, after the second election, go to the middle school of the harem for three months of court etiquette, and then let the empress dowager or the emperor see each other in July, which is the final election.
Because they are all daughters of families, their families are either official or high-ranking families, so there are very few people who can really be won in the primary and secondary elections.
Of course, compared to the time of the general election, the posture is also much worse.
Everyone understands in their hearts that although this is a choice of concubines, it is more about the family background behind these women.
On March 15 of the ninth year of Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an issued an order to seal the harem.
Jin Cong Erpin Roufei is the second Pin Rou concubine, assisting the Empress Dowager in the six palaces. Jin Cong's second-grade warbler concubine is the second-grade warbler concubine. Jin Feng is pregnant with a dragon heir for more than four months, and the third grade of the noble concubine is from the second grade of the concubine. Jin Cong Sanpin Hui Concubine (Yu Concubine) is the third grade Hui Gui Concubine. Jin Cong Sanpin Yi Concubine is a positive Sanpin Yi noble concubine. Jin Cong Sanpin Ying Concubine is a Sanpin Ying noble concubine. The beauty from Sipinchen who is pregnant with the dragon heir is the Sipinchen Jieyu.
Concubine Ren, Concubine Xin, Concubine Ling and other concubines who have no heirs under their knees do not move.
On March 23 of the ninth year of Yong'an, the canonization ceremony was held in the Yongshou Palace.
Emperor Yong'an personally handed over the golden book and gold seal to the concubines before the concubine, and the Empress Dowager Xiaohe personally put on the grade hairpins of the second grade for the noble concubines and the Lingxi hairpin.
Yu Guifei did not go to Yongshou Palace to participate in the canonization because she was old, and her golden book and gold seal and Zhengsan-grade hairpin were personally held by the canonizer and sent to the Ruyi Hall of Qingle Palace.
Concubine Xian has been disturbing low-ranking concubines in the harem intentionally or unintentionally since she was pregnant. Now that he was canonized as a concubine, he gradually formed a three-legged situation with Concubine Rou and Lingxi in the harem.
And in the Lingyan Palace, Lingxi was also sulking because of Concubine Xian's momentum.
This vicious breath choked Lingxi's chest, and he couldn't swallow it or spit it out, so he just wanted to rush to Deyang Hall and slap Concubine Xian a few times to relieve the anger in his heart.
Lotus Ye was afraid that Lingxi would be angry, so she persuaded Lingxi to be relieved, "Niangniang, now that you are a concubine and she is a concubine, she is a head lower than you anyway." You can't be angry with her because of this. ”
"She is a head lower than me now, but when the child in her womb is born, she will not necessarily be lower than me." Lingxi poured the warm tea in the teacup into his mouth, gritted his teeth and said, "I heard the Empress Dowager say yesterday that Situ Yuanchen is very important to the emperor. The emperor actually wanted to marry the third princess to Situ Yuanlin, the second son of the Situ family. ”
"Situ Yuanlin?" Lotus leaves were surprised.
"Situ Yuanlin is the youngest son born to the Liu family, he is 17 years old this year, and he is still unmarried. The third princess Qing is 16 years old this year, which is the same age as him. ”
"Niangniang, the biological mother of these three princesses is the Liu family who died in the cold palace......"
"How could I not know?" Lingxi put down the empty teacup in his hand, frowned slightly, and said, "After the death of the Liu family, the third princess put on my face for a while. Later, she grew up, and she was kind and kind. I'm not afraid of a princess, the key is that the emperor has the heart to support the Situ family, so that the concubine ......"
Seeing that Lingxi was angry, Qiaozhu stretched out the handkerchief in his hand to fan Lingxi, and said softly, "Niangniang, didn't Imperial Doctor Wang say that Concubine Ying's maiden family was going to marry the Situ family a year ago?" Master Pan is the right scholar of the court, and the young master and young lady of his family will definitely not be worthy of the concubine or concubine of the Situ family. There are only two sons in law and one daughter in Lord Situ's family, so thinking about it, isn't it Situ Yuanlin who married with Lord Pan's family? Why is this suddenly going to marry a princess again? Even if the third princess is not loved by the emperor on weekdays, she is a dignified princess, and there is no reason to marry a courtier as a side room......
Qiaozhu mentioned it, and Lingxi also remembered it. Moreover, Pan Changfei is now the secretary of the dynasty, if the Situ family really marries the Pan family, even if Emperor Yong'an looks at Situ Yuanlin's character again, there is no possibility of not giving Pan Shangshu face in this matter.
But what Xiao and the Empress Dowager said can't be groundless......
Taking the handkerchief from Qiaozhu's hand, Lingxi said to the lotus leaf, "You go and send a message, and let the imperial physician come into the palace to diagnose my peace pulse." ”
Although Lingxi recognized the Ye family, the Ye family could not provide her with any news from the court. Lingxi wanted to know what was going on outside, and the main source of information was Imperial Doctor Wang.
On March 25, the ninth year of Yong'an, Imperial Physician Wang arrived at the Lingyan Hall in the early afternoon.
After asking Lingxi for peace and security, Imperial Physician Wang explained the affairs of the Situ family and the Pan family.
A few years ago, the Pan family and the Situ family had the meaning of marriage. But later, I don't know why, the young lady of the Pan family repented, and she didn't agree to force her to die!
Pan Changfei doted on the little daughter who had no mother since she was a child, so he politely rejected the proposal of the Situ family.
This incident caused a lot of sensation among the nobles in the capital at that time, and they all said that the Situ family had eyes and did not know Mount Tai, and the official position of the fifth grade was only the fifth grade, and he actually went to the home of the second rank of the court to propose marriage.
After listening, Lingxi Chang sighed and snorted coldly, "Last year, the Situ family was ridiculed by the powerful in Beijing because of the little master of the Situ family, and this year it can be regarded as raising eyebrows. The emperor gave marriage, what a grace this is......"
Imperial Physician Wang lowered his head slightly, and said with a smile, "Ye Guifei Niangniang, in fact, you don't have to worry about Concubine Xian, now that you are in good health......
Imperial Physician Wang's eyes swept away, and seeing that Lingxi's face was not good, he swallowed the words that proposed that Lingxi give birth to the emperor's heir.
The hall was quiet for a moment, and Lingxi asked the news of the imperial physician Xiao Wuzi again. It has been almost half a year since Xiao Wuzi went out of the palace to find King Rui, but there has been no news of half a minute.
Hearing this, Imperial Physician Wang shook his head and said, "Niangniang, the capital is far from Rongcheng, the border of Dayue. Grandpa Wu acted cautiously, thinking that it would take some more time to come back. ”
Lingxi nodded, and asked the Imperial Physician to retreat.
On March 27 of the ninth year of Yong'an, the sixth birthday of the fifth princess, the Lingyan Hall was really lively.
The concubines in the harem, regardless of whether they received Lingxi's invitation or not, prepared thick gifts for the five princesses and sent them over in person.
The fifth princess was also like a little adult, shuttling between the banquets, and her little mouth was very sweet, which caused the concubines sitting to laugh from time to time.
Lingxi held the wine cup and looked at the five princesses who were shuttling among the concubines like a small pink butterfly.
On this day last year, she was still in the cold palace, thinking about how to bring down Queen Zhu and get out of the cold palace. Today this year, Zhu is dead, but Zhu's most beloved youngest daughter is under his knees......
After feeling a lot, Lingxi's wine drank a few more glasses. With a crimson face and a drunken smile in his eyes.
Concubine Wan sat beside Lingxi, with a timid expression on her face. Seeing that Lingxi was drunk, she said in a low voice, "Ye Guifei Niangniang, you are drunk, go back to the palace to rest." ”
Concubine Wan's voice was not loud, but Concubine Rou, who was sitting on the side of the table, heard it.
Rou Guifei stood up, walked in front of Lingxi and smiled at Lingxi, "Ye Guifei is sleepy, then rest." The palace will go to the Queen Mother early tomorrow morning to reply and go back first. ”
Lingxi looks drunk on the surface, but in fact, he understands it very well in his heart. So she stood up holding the lotus leaf's hand, and smiled at Concubine Rou with drunken eyes, "Concubine Rou walks slowly, and the palace will not be far away." ”
As soon as Concubine Rou left, Concubine Xian stepped forward again, looking at the thin new palace clothes on Lingxi's body, and said to Lingxi softly, "Although the weather is getting warmer now, Concubine Ye still has to pay attention to her body." ”
Lingxi raised his hand and took off the luxurious beads on his head, and said with a smile to Concubine Xian, "When did my sister become so estranged from this palace?" Pulling Concubine Xian's hand, the smile on Lingxi's face was warm, "Sister, don't call this palace Ye Guifei, this palace is my sister's sister one day, and I will always be my sister's sister." ”
Concubine Xian stroked her pregnant belly with her left hand, with a smile on her face, she shook Lingxi's hand back defiantly, and said, "The concubine is ashamed." Ye Guifei was drunk, and the concubine retired first. ”
Looking at Concubine Xian's distant back, Lingxi's heart gave rise to bursts of hatred.
How could she, how could she let the child in Concubine Xian's womb be born, and then be a blessing in front of her own eyes?
It's just that now Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager are firmly in the harem, and if you want to succeed, you have to plan carefully......
At this time, Lingxi's heart couldn't help but feel a trace of resentment towards Xiao and the Empress Dowager, originally she could assist in the Six Palaces like Concubine Rou. But Xiao and the Empress Dowager were not allowed, and she was only allowed to watch from the sidelines.
Lingxi understood that filial piety and the Empress Dowager were good to her, but as soon as she saw Concubine Xian's powerful face, Lingxi hated it so much.
After Concubine Xian left, the concubines who came to celebrate the birthday of the fifth princess in the Lingyan Hall also got up and retired. The fifth princess looked at the departing concubines, stretched out her little hand and pulled Lingxi's concubine-colored sleeves, and called softly, "Mother......"
Lingxi retracted her gaze, looked at the fifth princess and smiled softly, "Mu'er, are you happy today?" ”
The fifth princess nodded, and asked again, "Mother, why didn't my father come?" ”
"Father, Emperor......" Lingxi pursed her cherry-red lips, looked at the fifth princess with some confusion in her eyes, and said, "Father should be busy." Mu'er, let's go rest, okay? ”
An Xiaowan said on the side at the right time, "The fifth princess is good, Ye Guifei is drunk......
The fifth princess nodded sensibly, took Lingxi's hand and led Lingxi to the dormitory. instructed Lotus Ye to twist a wet handkerchief, cleaned Lingxi's hands with his own hands, and said with a smile, "Mother, you are the best for Mu'er." The mother sleeps obediently, and when the mother wakes up, the unhappiness in the mother's heart is gone......"
Lingxi stretched out her hand and pinched the face of the fifth princess, and said with a smile, "Mu'er is the most well-behaved, Mu'er go to sleep, my mother is also asleep." ”
The fifth princess handed the wet handkerchief to the lotus leaf, blessed the spirit rhino, and withdrew.
The lotus leaf brought warm water to the Lingxi to clean his face, and after the Lingxi cleaned up, Qiaozhu came in and blessed the Lingxi, and said, "Niangniang, the emperor is here......"
Lingxi wine has already come up, and he said to Qiaozhu very sleepily, "Come on, come on, it's not for the fifth princess to celebrate her birthday so late, Concubine Wan must be waiting in the Yinhuang Pavilion." ”
