Chapter 51: The King
Time flies, time flies, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye.
In the past three years, the front hall of the Kangxi Dynasty has been turbulent, so that the entire capital is full of undercurrents, and everyone is in danger. However, in such a political environment, the women in the Sibel Mansion were surprisingly quiet, and they all closed the courtyard gates except for the necessary gatherings. Especially last year, everyone was even more disciplined, for fear of touching the mold on this stubble. First, the crown prince was abolished, shocking the government and the opposition, and then the adult prince including Yinzhen was imprisoned. Then, when Yinzhen, who had been imprisoned for two months, was released, his younger brother Yinxiang, the thirteenth elder brother, was imprisoned for a long time. Therefore, Yinzhen not only has to worry about Yinxiang up and down, but also has to work step by step in the front hall full of dangers.
However, Huizhu has been living smoothly these days, with a little understanding of history, when the women in the backyard are worried about Yinzhen, she is leisurely; When the women in the backyard were taking care of themselves for the turmoil in the front hall, she was happy and relaxed; When Yinzhen didn't have time to give the inner courtyard to Wuxin for political affairs, she cheered comfortably. Therefore, in the past three years, Huizhu has been very satisfied with her current life, except for some regrets that she can't return to Niu Hulu.
Fortunately, in March this year, the crown prince Yinren was reinstated, Emperor Kangxi was no longer angry, and the entire government and the opposition returned to calm. And Yinzhen won the praise of Emperor Kangxi because of his strength to support the prince's re-establishment, and then even the entire Sibeile Mansion also eliminated the tension, presenting a scene of joy.
At this time, it is already autumn, and the misty morning always carries a cold coolness. On this day, Huizhu was sitting on the kang, just after using some rice and rice and bean flour rolls, ready to clean up and go to ask for peace for the Wulanala clan, she saw Xia Mei walking in with a medicine bowl.
Without waiting for Xia Mei to squat and salute, Huizhu patted her forehead and sighed: "Fortunately, I only drink it once a month, if I drink it every day, I won't be killed." Su Xin picked up the medicine bowl on the tray, handed it to Huizhu, and said with a smile: "Master, how can you say this early in the morning." You should drink it hot so that the medicine will work. Huizhu frowned and took it, without saying a word, went to the spoon, raised her head and drank it, and hurriedly took a plum bag in her mouth. I thought in my heart, when will this health medicine that I have drunk for three years be the end? In fact, whenever she drank medicine, Huizhu always unconsciously scolded Yinzhen, thinking that he had a problem, otherwise three years had passed, and no one in the house had spread the news.
Yuehe, who was standing on the side, suddenly saw Huizhu laughing alone there, and asked curiously: "Master, what's wrong, is there anything happy about it?" In an instant, Huizhu's face froze, and she couldn't say that she was stealing fun because Yinzhen had a problem, so she coughed pretended to cough and covered it up: "No, I just think that the rice rice made by Xia Mei this morning tastes very good." Xia Mei said: "Master, the rice is suitable for summer, the slave and maid wanted to stop doing it tomorrow, if the master likes it, the slave and the maid will continue to prepare the rice tomorrow." Su Xin said: "This rice rice is soaked in cold water before eating, and it is not good to use it in the morning." And now that it's past the vegetarian month, the master should eat some warm food, which will also benefit your body cold. Seeing this, Huizhu didn't want to dwell on this anymore, so she ordered: "Xia Mei will do what Su Xin said." Okay, it's not too early now, it's time to go and say goodbye to Fujin. After saying that, Huizhu left the kang, and after a little tidying up under Su Xin's service, she walked towards the courtyard of the Ulanala clan.
As soon as I came to the main courtyard, I heard bursts of laughter in the main house, and it was obvious that there were many people in the house. In this way, Huizhu couldn't help but pause, and thought a little puzzled, now is not too late, why did so many people come, so after glancing at Su Xin, who was also puzzled, he listened to Yahuantong preach: "Niu Hulu Gege has arrived." Huizhu couldn't, and didn't think much about it, so she walked towards the main house.
Entering the main house, sure enough, most of the people had already arrived, and even Nian, who often apologized for not coming, was sitting on the side. Huizhu frowned secretly, suppressed her doubts, and saluted respectfully, and said, "Concubine Niu Hulu, please Fujin, two side Fujin Da'an." Seeing that the head of the Wulanala clan responded, Fang got up and said, "Please also ask Fujin to forgive your sins, the concubine is late today." Wulanala smiled gently: "Sister Niu Hulu is too worried, you didn't come late, but last year I sent someone to inform Sister Li and Sister Nian that they came earlier, and they had something to discuss, but all the sisters also arrived early." Li also smiled: "Yes, Sister Niu Hulu is a lot of courtesy, you sit down and let Yahuan make you a cup of hot tea." Huizhu is actually a little puzzled, since Nian's accompanied Yinzhen to Rehe three years ago, she has always released kindness to herself, but she is a powerless character, what can she help her.
Huizhu couldn't figure it out, and didn't think much about it, so she thanked Li and sat down at Geng's head. Geng leaned over and whispered, "Sister Huizhu, I just came, and when I came, the room was already full of people." Huizhu listened to Geng's words, smiled and nodded. It seems that only she and Geng don't know what's going on, but this is normal, after all, both of them don't like to be close to people and live behind closed doors.
After Yahuan poured tea for Huizhu, the women in the room greeted and laughed for a while. Then he got to the point, and saw the Ulanala clan put down the celadon white-bottomed bowl in his hand, and said with a smile: "I am looking for Sister Li and Sister Nian to come here today for the day after tomorrow, and the crown princess will invite us to a banquet." I don't want all the sisters to be well-informed and arrive early, but I can't let all the sisters go. In this way, a few days ago, the crown princess sent a lot of imperial Pu'er paste in the palace, and I will send someone to send it to my sisters later, and you can also soak and drink some. When the words fell, there was a moment of silence in the room.
Hui Zhu casually glanced at her, and saw that several concubines all showed disappointed expressions, and even Song's smile froze. Suddenly, Huizhu felt very funny in her heart, and saw a faint smile on Geng's face, so the two glanced at each other and shook their heads slightly without saying a word.
Over the years, the Wu family has increasingly abandoned the previous low-key, and since she became pregnant four years ago, she has often said something to the Wulanala clan and the Li clan. At this time, he still followed the words of the Wulanala clan and said with a smile: "It's still Fujin who is sympathetic to us, and this Pu'er ointment Fujin, which has a small annual output, remembers our sisters, isn't it our blessing." But it's better for you and the two side Fujin to keep it, after all, this was given by the crown princess. The Wulanala clan was satisfied with the Wu clan's words, and the smile deepened: "The prince and our father are our closest siblings, and we are our own sisters, the princess said that let us concubines taste it, isn't it just to let you also drink some." After saying that, everyone else laughed and said that the Ulanala clan was generous and the crown princess was kind.
It's now October, and Hui Zhu has been in Sibeile Mansion for five years. Although she is now gradually accustomed to the yang and yin of the back house, she is still impatient and even disgusted with it. At this time, Huizhu missed the rumors of the previous few years, when everyone didn't have the heart to compete, but was quieter.
Just as Hye-joo was hoping that this meaningless conversation would end sooner. Li stroked the plum blossom and enamel colored bamboo leaf pattern nail cover on his left hand a few times, raised his eyebrows, squinted at Wu's, and looked straight at Nian's suddenly, his eyes flashed with a look of pride and jealousy, and said with a smile: "Hehe, our lord not only has a deep brotherhood with the prince, but even my Yun'er and the third elder brother of the prince's family, Hongjin, also seem to be brothers, by the way, and the princess's little Gege also likes our big Gege very much." It seems that our family is the fate of the prince. ”
Nian's face immediately turned white, looked at Li Shi for a while, and said with a smile: "Yes, there are only three baby bumps in our house, Sister Li has to take care of it, if there is one missing, it will not be good." Li looked at Nian, secretly hated, and said calmly: "Sister Nian is worried, I am the mother of three children, and I am not the one who has never given birth or brought a child, so I will take good care of it." ”
Li's words struck the hearts of many women in the house, but because of her status and power in the house, everyone couldn't say anything, and they were a little dull for a while. The Ulanala clan touched the moldy head, and knew that he had no intention of saying it, so he ordered: "It's all time, and all the sisters must be tired, so let's go back and rest." Seeing that the Ulanala clan had such an order, everyone also said a few words that were appropriate to the situation, and prepared to leave with different thoughts.
At this time, he saw Xiao Luzi running into the house, beating a thousand children, and before the head of the Wulanala clan responded, he straightened up and said: "Blessing Jin, master, the master of the court has been crowned Prince Yong by Jin." The words fell, stopping everyone's pace of leaving. After three years of suppression, the news that Yinzhen was named the prince is undoubtedly great news.
The Ulanala clan came back to his senses, and after eleven years, he was finally crowned king, or a prince, and he suppressed his excitement and asked: "Master, why are you the only one who has come back, and are there other masters who have been divided?" Xiao Luzi bowed down and replied: "Back to Fujin, the master is talking to Mr. Wu and others, and the slave will take advantage of this time to report the good news to Fujin and the masters." Well, Long Live Lord also canonized the third master as Prince Cheng, the fifth master as Prince Heng, the seventh master as the king of Chunjun, the tenth master as the king of Dunjun, and the ninth, twelfth, and fourteenth masters as Baylor. After speaking, Xiao Luzi seemed to remember something, and said excitedly: "Long live the Lord also gave the Lord the Old Summer Palace to build the Old Summer Palace in the north of Changchun Garden in western Beijing, this is the first one." ”
At this time, the women in the back house were undoubtedly united, and they were really surprised by this sudden news, after all, this is an era of husbands and wives, only to see that everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they were happy to greet each other for a while, and they each left with a smile on their faces.
However, when the whole house is happy, probably only Huizhu is the only one who is not happy about it.
