Chapter 72, the birth of the fifteenth elder brother
In the cold winter season, the north wind howls.
The grounded concubine Niangniang of Yanxi Palace launched, and on the evening of November 13, the 25th year of Qianlong, she gave birth to a son safely, who was the fifteenth elder brother.
However, the grief of losing a son made Qianlong have no time to pay attention to this newborn son, but Qianlong had already issued an order to lift the ban on Concubine Wei. However, this Concubine Ling is still in confinement, and she won't show up for a while.
Hearing the news, it is estimated that he was angry.
Concubine Ling won the son in one fell swoop, the mother and son were safe, and they fought a beautiful turnaround.
On the day of the fifteenth elder brother's washing, it happened to be the winter solstice.
In the Qing Dynasty, the winter solstice was a big day, and it was very lively inside and outside the palace.
Therefore, the three baptismal rites of the fifteenth elder brother also became lively.
Duchess Zhongyong Nala's mother-in-law Jue Luo received the queen's winter solstice gift, and said in her heart, the queen's gift this year's festival is much more valuable than in previous years, there are the mink and deer tails of the Jilin general's year-end tribute, the high-grade Dongzhu, ginseng, honey, pine nuts of Shengjing's Yamen tribute, as well as the deerskin and waist knife offered by Fanbang Joseon, all kinds of things, large boxes and small boxes, full of long cases.
Nara was secretly speechless, and hurriedly said: "The queen mother is so generous, I really deserve it. "This kind of weight is really not light, but I'm afraid that the queen will give the mother family Cheng'en Mansion, and that's it, right?
Ying Yue said secretly, anyway, everything is paid tribute to the emperor from all over the country, and the emperor rewards part of the clan, sons, and ministers, and the rest has always been distributed by the queen, and the queen's distribution plan this year is obviously different from previous years.
Even if it is distributed to the Fucha family, there is no need for the queen to pay out of her own pocket, and naturally the queen can be generous.
The queen's courtship to the Fucha family seems to have been after the Wei family's accident......
In previous years, Concubine Ling had the right to associate the six palaces, and even so, the queen was also sent by the Fucha family coldly.
Now that there is no "assistant" for the concubine, the queen treats the Fucha family well.
Nara was a little confused, and the day of giving birth was approaching, so he knew that he shouldn't bother, so he simply asked the old lady Jue Luo.
"The queen's repeated overtures, is it just because the concubine fell out of favor and was in a happy mood?" Nara was a little unconvinced.
The old lady half-closed her eyes and said slowly: "Concubine Ling can climb to the concubine position step by step, relying on the eldest princess and our Fucha family, but Concubine Ling was killed before, and we didn't help, so the eldest princess didn't have to help." So—"
Nara smiled: "So the queen is repaying the favor and wants us to continue to alienate Concubine Ling?" ”
The old lady pouted: "It's not just about reciprocating the peach, but also about sowing discord!" ”
Nara was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood that the Fucha family did not help Concubine Ling before, but now they have to be treated so favorably, Concubine Ling must have a gap in her heart.
"This ......," Nara sighed slightly, "Although Concubine Ling has fallen out of favor now, she has given birth to fifteen elder brothers after all, and she can't guarantee her ...... in the future."
The old lady snorted disdainfully, "She's thirty-four years old!" A coated minion, the old pearl yellow, can you still regain your favor? ! ”
Nala couldn't help but slander, what happened to Thirty-Four? Emperor Shujia's concubine gave birth to eleven elder brothers at such an age, and then gave birth to two elder brothers at such an age, but she knew that Concubine Ling could not regain her favor, and she could not give birth again?
What about coatings? Wasn't the concubine of Emperor Huixian back then a coat? Isn't the concubine of Shujia also from Baoyi? Emperor Chunhui's concubine is even a Han girl who is not as good as her coating! As long as the emperor favors him, his background is nothing at all!
The old lady looked at her daughter-in-law's belly: "Okay, you are heavy, you don't have to worry about these things." ”
Nara nodded, right now, the most important thing was the child in her belly.
Even if it doesn't matter if the background doesn't matter and the age doesn't matter, the Wei family, the concubine's mother, angered Long Yan after all, and she was cut to leisure. It's not easy to turn over.
Nala was pregnant, so naturally she couldn't enter the palace to thank her, so she naturally had to go out in person with the old lady Jue Luo.
Nala originally wanted the old lady to bring Minyi, so that her daughter-in-law and niece could enter the palace to show her face, but unfortunately the old lady was very dissatisfied with this granddaughter-in-law who had not given birth, so she refused directly, she said: "She still needs to take care of family affairs, this time she just entered the palace to thank her, and I will bring the moon girl." ”
In fact, Ying Yue really doesn't want to enter the palace, the rules in the palace are so hot, it's still such a cold day, why bother to suffer this crime?
It's a pity that the old lady spoke, and she had to dress up herself, put on a solemn flag uniform, and stepped on flowerpot bottom shoes.
The biggest advantage of pot-bottomed shoes is that you don't have to worry about getting your shoes wet when walking on snow in winter.
The biggest disadvantage is that the shoes that are already unstable will have to fall on the mud if you are not careful.
The carriage of the Fucha Family's Zhongyong Mansion stopped at the West Palace Gate, and the rest of the way had to be walked by foot, thinking about the distance, it was enough to make people hurt. And Yingyue still has to hold the old lady......
Later, the Huifa Nala clan did not live in Kunning Palace, to be precise, Kunning Palace has become a place of worship for lamas since the Kangxi Dynasty, and it does not live at all. Only when the emperor got married, did he go back to live for three days.
After that, he lived in Yikun Palace.
This is a good thing, because Yikun Palace and the Queen Mother's Shoukang Palace are both west of the Forbidden City, which undoubtedly saves a lot of travel.
Although the old lady entered the palace to thank her successor, she had to go to Shoukang Palace first and kowtow to the queen mother.
The old lady is a face-saving figure even in front of the Queen Mother. - After all, it's a family member!
In fact, the main purpose of the old lady is to take a look at the eldest grandson Fukangan, who is raised under the knees of the Queen Mother, and by the way, ask if the eldest grandson can go back to Fucha's house for the Chinese New Year this year.
Entering the hall, Ying Yue honestly followed her grandmother and kowtowed.
The Queen Mother kindly called the grandmothers around her to go up and support Jue Luo, and said affectionately: "Gege hasn't been here for some days. ”
- After all, the old lady is a clan character.
But to call the old lady like this, there is only the queen mother.
The old lady sighed and said, "I'm old, and my body bones are useless." After sighing, the old lady looked up at the Queen Mother again, and said with a smile: "But the Queen Mother, your complexion is becoming more and more ruddy, which shows that people are in good spirits at happy events." ”
The addition of a grandson is, of course, a happy event.
The Queen Mother immediately smiled, and hurriedly called someone to call Fukangan back from the study room to meet his own grandmother.
Yingyue hasn't seen Xiaokangzi for some days, this kid eats and drinks well in Shoukang Palace, and he is fatter than the last time!
As soon as Fukangan came in, he went up and kowtowed to the Queen Mother first, and then to his grandmother.
The old lady was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her grandson up, "Okay, look at the queen mother raised you, chubby!" ”
Fukangan's round smiling face was instantly depressed. The elderly like their buns to be fat for nothing, but the buns Fukangan don't like to be called "fat".
Fukangan hurriedly changed the topic: "Mama, E-niang is pregnant with her younger brother, has she been working hard recently?" ”
The old lady was slightly unhappy in her eyes, so she said: "Isn't this just because I'm afraid that your mother will work hard, and I still have to work this old bone to enter the palace for her to thank you!" ”
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Gege feels sorry for her daughter-in-law!" ”
The old lady was also busy saying: "The queen mother really loved her daughter-in-law back then!" ”
Yingyue: This is called business blowing each other......
The Queen Mother muttered: "Although today's queen is also dignified and decent, she is not as good as Xiaoxian after all." ”
Yingyue: After all, it is a dead person, how can a living person be compared?
