In this way, the twelve years of Shunzhi passed plainly and peacefully.

Shunzhi thirteen years, the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone in the palace is busy, but everyone's face is full of smiles, for the people in the palace, this is a rare happy day of the year, according to the rules of the palace, this day, the emperor and the concubines of the harem, regardless of status, have to go to Cining Palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace, I came to Cining Palace early, carefully accompanied the Queen Mother to talk, not long after, the main concubines of each palace, the nobles promised and the Agogege arrived at Cining Palace.

Shunzhi's concubines are few compared to his children and grandchildren, but there are also me, the queen, Concubine Tong, Concubine Shuhui, Concubine Jing, Concubine Ning, Concubine Yi, Concubine Ke, Concubine Chun, Yu Guiren, Ling Changzai, An Changzai, and five or six unfamous promises, the eldest brother died early, the elder brother only had the second elder brother Fuquan and the third elder brother Xuanye, and there were three little Gege, most of Shunzhi's children died early, especially the daughter, only one of the biological daughters lived to adulthood.

The most eye-catching of these people is still Concubine Tong, but I noticed another person - Concubine Jing, my aunt with a terrifying temper, she looks a little like the Queen Mother, Ruhua's beauty is faintly more than Concubine Tong, she stands there proudly, no one talks to her, she doesn't pay attention to anyone, the stubbornness between the eyebrows and eyes makes me feel a little distressed, so at the age of Ruhua, she was disgusted and abandoned by her husband, and they all said that she was arrogant and domineering, but who knows the bitterness in her heart.

After they all greeted the queen mother, they sat in their respective places and waited for the emperor to arrive. The atmosphere was quite not easy in the process of waiting, no one took the initiative to speak, only the more favored Concubine Tong from time to time and the Queen Mother to say a few words, the other concubines were either in a daze or occasionally whispered a few words with the palace people behind me, I sat there drowsy, and when I was about to fall asleep, a slender voice came from the door: "Emperor-up-on-drive-to--"

Everyone's eyes gathered at the door, and then all the concubines and palace people got up and bowed, and said in unison: "Welcome to the emperor." ”

Although I always see the palace people kneeling around, this group of people kneeling here and there looks really spectacular.

I also hurriedly got up and bowed, lowered my head, but the corner of my eyes peeked at the bright yellow that slowly walked in, slender legs, straight waist, and not too thin chest...... Further up, my eyes were almost corny, but I didn't give up, my thin and moderate lips were pursed tightly, and the bridge of my nose was straight, and a pair of eyes that looked like deep pools were staring at me tightly...... What's the Mi? Stare at...... I?? Looking at it again, sure enough, the owner of the eyes was looking at me with a slight frown, I was startled and quickly lowered my eyes.

"Get up." A clear voice came, nice but cold.

"Your Majesty." I stood up after thanking everyone for their kindness, and looked at my husband again, Aixin Jueluo Fulin.

Shunzhi is about 1.75 meters, his complexion is fair, but not sickly white, slightly thin, his face is written "Don't get close to the living", it can be regarded as red lips and white teeth, although he is only nineteen years old, but his calm expression, the kind of self-respecting momentum on his body makes people can only look up, a pair of eyes are like a deep pool, and if you see deeply, you will fall.

This is the Emperor! Shunzhi, the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty in the true sense, the momentum of the king of a country is really extraordinary.

Shunji glanced at me as he passed me, and his brow furrowed a little deeper, Cut! I secretly rolled my eyes, I didn't look at it if I didn't look at it, what did I frown? A big man is still afraid to look at it?

After Shunzhi greeted the Queen Mother, he said some nonsense to the Queen Mother that sounded unnutritious to me, such as:

"How is Huang Eniang's health lately?"

"Well, okay, there is Emperor Lao's memory."

Silent......

"How has the emperor's diet been good lately?"

"Okay, the emperor has a heart."

Silent......

Everyone stood motionless and listened to the nonsense between mother and son, until Shunzhi said, "Everyone sit down." ”

These concubines sat in separate seats, and then there was a longer silence, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this is really a serious problem between mother and son.

I was a little overwhelmed by this atmosphere, coughed lightly, and when I saw that I had attracted the attention of the Queen Mother, I smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor's Mother, there is still a period of time before lunch, we are idle, it is better to play something to pass the time." ”

As soon as I said this, the Queen Mother was also interested, and said with a smile: "Okay, what does the Queen have to propose?" ”

"Hmm......" I thought for a moment: "It's better to tug of war." Let the masters of each palace send their own servants into battle, and the last one who wins will be rewarded by the emperor. ”

The Queen Mother looked at me in surprise, and Shunzhi also squinted at me, seeing that I was hairy, I laughed twice: "If ......"

"Okay, just as the queen said." Shunzhi said lightly: "Chang Xi, take the white fat jade Ruyi that came in last year and make it a color head." "Chang Xi is Shunzhi's personal eunuch, and he looks a little similar to Laixi.

I looked at him for a long time before I remembered to call Laixi to prepare, and then Concubine Tong asked with a smile: "Queen Mother, I don't know if there are any rules for this tug-of-war?" ”

I smiled and said, "After a while, let's draw lots, and if we catch two of the same number, we will make a group, first the primary selection between the groups, the winner will enter the second selection, and then use the same method to determine the opponent until the champion is produced." However, "I looked at the Queen Mother: "The emperor can't participate." ”

The Queen Mother looked at me: "Why can't I participate again?" ”

I smiled and said, "If the emperor also participates, the final prize must be won by the emperor." ”

The Queen Mother smiled when she heard me say this: "Okay, it seems that the queen is afraid that I will rob the emperor of the prize, so I, the old woman, will not participate." ”

I covered my mouth and smiled: "How about a bet between the son and the emperor?" If Huang Eniang can find someone from the Forbidden City who really says that Huang Eniang is old, the retainer will lose. ”

"Hehe, you bastard." The Queen Mother looked very happy, but something flashed quickly in her eyes.

At this time, Concubine Tong spoke: "That daughter-in-law also gambled with the queen." ”

"You," the Queen Mother said dotingly, "you'll be fun." ”

Concubine Tong giggled, the laughter was very pleasant, Shunzhi's face softened a little, the atmosphere in the room was much more relaxed than before, and the various masters and mothers were also whispering quietly, probably discussing which slave to send to fight for a while.

"It's better to do it," that unique clear voice made the room quiet for an instant, and Shunzhi looked at me: "It's better to add one, let all the concubines personally bring their minions to fight, and the winning concubines will serve the Qianqing Palace today." ”

As soon as Shunzhi's words came out, the masters of the palaces were all happy, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the benefits of being able to serve in such a peculiar way are self-evident.

I blushed slightly, waiting, to put it bluntly, it is a waiter, this person, I am really not ashamed, I, a person from the twenty-first century, am a little embarrassed, he can actually say it in public.

At this time, Laixi brought a box, closed all around, only the top opened an opening, Laixi knelt in front of me and said respectfully: "Hui Niangniang, there are a total of seventeen masters and Niangniang, what to do with this lot, please show Niangniang." ”

Seventeen? I glanced at it, and then secretly glared at Shunzhi, marrying so many wives, be careful of kidney loss!

Before I could speak, Shunzhi's clear voice sounded: "Since it is an odd number, then the queen will directly enter the semi-finals, how about it?" ”

I looked into his eyes, and I could clearly see a hint of banter and disdain in his eyes, and my anger rose slightly, for he thought that I had prepared for this game to win his reward? God knows I just couldn't stand the weird atmosphere and forced it out.

"No need!" My tone unconsciously became a little stiff, and the attacker secretly pulled my clothes behind me, and I suddenly came back to my senses and changed my words: "I mean, as the lord of the six palaces, your sisters will definitely not do their best to compete with me, if this is the case, wouldn't it be unfair?" So I'm just like the emperor, just be a referee. ”

Shunzhi squinted his eyes slightly, staring at me expressionlessly, I looked into the deep pool, the deeper I looked, his eyes seemed to be addictive. Shunzhi turned his head and said loudly: "Since the queen said so, then the concubines will go and prepare now, and start in half an hour." ”

Those masters and ladies began to retire in an orderly manner, Concubine Tong held her own identity and just gossiped with the Queen Mother for a while before she couldn't wait to go down, while Concubine Jing sat there, motionless, the Queen Mother frowned, and said softly: "Lei'er, why don't you prepare." ”

Concubine Jing did not answer the Queen Mother's words, but looked at Shunzhi and said slowly: "The emperor must not want to see the concubine win, right?" ”

Shunzhi frowned, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, Concubine Jing stared at Shunzhi's eyes, without the slightest retreat, I saw that Concubine Jing's eyes contained anger, unwillingness, grievance and ...... Deep love.

I saw Shunzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and for some reason, my intuition told me that the emperor was going to be angry, and I sighed secretly, my aunt is really a fierce person. I turned my head and said to the Queen Mother, "Huang Eniang, I still have a gift for you." ”

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "What are the gifts?" ”

I smiled and didn't answer, turned to the attacker, "Attacker, go and bring the gold mille-feuille cake I made in the morning." The attacker responded, but the queen mother was surprised: "Attack? I remember that this girl's name is not Cui Ling? ”

"Back to the emperor's mother, the retainers changed it last summer, the golden silk mille-feuille cake made by this girl is sweet but not greasy, it melts in the mouth, and it is delicious." I replied.

Shunzhi's attention was also successfully diverted by me, "Attack? He looked at me puzzled.

I smiled and didn't speak, and only when the attacker brought the pastry did I say, "Attacker, tell the emperor, what is your original surname?" ”

The attacker knelt on the ground and replied, "Back to the emperor, the slave's surname is Hua." ”

"Flower ...... Assault? Shunzhi looked at me with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and I looked at him for a long time, habitually raising his eyebrows slightly.

Shunzhi looked at me for a long time, the corners of his mouth seemed to be slightly upturned, and he said slowly: "The flower qi strikes people and knows that it is suddenly warm......"

I smiled and answered: "The sound of magpies through the trees is happy and sunny." ”

Shunzhi's eyes lit up, and then he turned his face away, the smile on the corner of his mouth slowly expanded, and the Queen Mother smiled: "I didn't expect this girl's name to have a provenance?" ”

I owed a slight debt to the Queen Mother: "If I go back to the emperor's mother, in order to think of this name, the ministers have not wasted much energy, but the emperor can really be called full of poetry and books." ”

The Queen Mother had a faint look of pride and relief on her face, and glanced at Shunzhi with appreciation before saying, "The emperor has been very smart since he was a child." But I didn't expect the queen to be a talented girl, and the queen changed the name of this little bell, so what about the other little bells? What has changed? ”

I looked at the playful smile on the corner of Shunzhi's mouth, and suddenly felt hairy in my heart, so I quickly changed the topic and said with a smile: "Don't make fun of the emperor's ministers, it's all a joke. ”

When the Queen Mother heard my strong recommendation, her attention shifted to the pastry in front of her, and she reached out and put a small piece in her mouth, with a smile on her face: "It's really good, Your Majesty, you can also taste it, Concubine Jing, you can also taste it." ”

I quietly breathed a sigh of relief and told the attacker to retreat, Concubine Jing's face was a little bad, but Shunzhi didn't seem to see it, I couldn't bear it, and turned to the Queen Mother and said, "Huang Eniang, Erchen and Concubine Jing went outside to see how the preparations were going." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, I avoided Shunzhi's sight, and went out of the door with Concubine Jing, the cold air outside made me feel a lot more energetic, I looked at Concubine Jing who was still stubborn: "Auntie, why is this difficult?" ”

Concubine Jing's face was slightly distorted, she stared at me, and said word by word: "You won't understand, because you don't love him." ”

I looked at Concubine Jing's beautiful face and said softly: "You are not the only one who has love in this deep palace, if you dare to love, you must dare to bear it." ”

Concubine Jing shuddered and turned her face to the side, I knew that she didn't want me to see her tears.

The two of us just stood quietly and didn't speak again, until Laixi ran over and said that the masters of the palace were ready, and when I went into the house to invite the Queen Mother and the Emperor, the atmosphere in the room was not as dull as before, and the expressions on their faces were relaxed, and I exhaled and asked them to move.
