487 Imperial Expedition (There are still updates.)
The emperor gave tonic medicine to the Ping nobles, since her comeback in the old years, there was a thing, at that time the Empress Xiaoyi could not afford to sink, the emperor casually said that they had to lay a good foundation from a young age, so let the Tai Hospital prescribe a tonic according to the body of the Ping nobles, and all the expenses were taken from the Qianqing Palace.
Looking at it, it was indeed a great grace, and the health of the noble people was particularly good for a while, but when Suo Etu returned from the frontier in November, he hurriedly sent someone into the palace to tell his niece to be careful of the tonic given by the emperor. A few days later, he waited for someone to investigate, and sure enough, he found that the tonic medicine sent from the Tai Hospital every day was actually a cold contraceptive medicine, because the Ping nobles have always been impetuous, irritable, and vigorous, these medicines were very helpful for internal fire conditioning in the early stage, but in the long run, the childbirth in her life was wasted.
But the people who send medicine to the Tai Hospital every day must watch the Ping Guiren take the medicine with their own eyes, Suo Etu started in the Tai Hospital several times, and finally changed the medicines, Ping Guiren himself also knew that the taste of the medicine was different, but the eunuch who came to see her take the medicine every day with a straight face may not know.
And no matter how the hospital prepares, whether it is a tonic or a contraceptive pill in the mouth, it is impossible for the Ping nobles to figure it out, Suo Etu also brought a message to her, telling her not to follow the old path of Xiao Niu Hulu, and to stay by the emperor's side for a long time, for her with several ups and downs, it is the best way to be obedient and obedient at the moment, as long as it is not poison that she eats.
At this moment, the eunuch who delivered the medicine entered the door, as usual, a few stereotypical words every day, Ping Guiren beat a drum in his heart, and drank the medicine in front of him, but today she was very uncomfortable, and she frowned on weekdays and could suffocate the medicine in one breath, but today she was disgusted after two sips, and even the bowl in her hand was thrown on the ground at once, and her palace maid was frightened, but the eunuch who delivered the medicine said expressionlessly: "Wait a minute, the slave will go to the imperial doctor to find someone to boil the medicine for you." ”
Ping Guiren lay on the couch and didn't say a word, and when the imperial doctor left, and when the idle palace maid also left, he touched his stomach and said with tears: "Do I really have it?" ”
And the eunuch looked rigid and ruthless, and he came and went like a wooden man every day, but he was a scheming person with the city, and turned around and told Liang Gonggong about the unusual situation of Ping Guiren today, Liang Gonggong was full of sweat when he heard it, but the emperor told him a thousand times, he couldn't let Xiao Hesheri be pregnant, if Ping Guiren was pregnant, it was his fault, did he still want to eat this meal?
The eunuch who delivered the medicine calmly persuaded: "The slave thinks that Gonggong Liang, you confess to the Lord of Long Live is the best way out, otherwise you will do it again at the noble people, in case you let Master Suo make a big fuss and make a fuss, you will be guilty of adding to the crime." ”
Father-in-law Liang pounded his chest and sighed in worry: "Now is not the time to talk about this." ”
Now is indeed not the time to talk about this, just one day before the wedding of Princess Chunxi, news came from Mobei that Galdan, instigated by Tsarist Russia, gathered 30,000 troops in the name of pursuing Tushetu Khan and Jebtsundamba, crossed the Uzha River, and threatened to entangle the Russian army and attack Khalkha. When the news came, the government and the opposition were furious, and Xuan Ye warned Tsarist Russia not to interfere in the internal affairs of the Qing court, and on the other hand, he ordered the Shangshu Alani of the Imperial Court to recruit troops from Horqin and Karaqin and wait for dispatch at any time.
On May 15, Princess Chunxi's wedding was successfully held under the turmoil of the imminent outbreak of war, but the spirit of the heavenly family was not affected at all.
But the princess's wedding, after all, could not hide the fear of war, the wedding banquet dispersed, after the decoration of the palace lanterns was removed, the atmosphere of the six palaces quickly fell into unease, Mobei is not far away from the imperial capital than the three feudatories, even the women who are not familiar with the government know how powerful it is, the court has been guarding against this wild wolf for many years, and now the wolf's ambition is finally uncontrollable.
After the wedding of Princess Chunxi, as Lan Qi expected, the returning palace concubines did not return to Changchun Garden with the car, and in the days after May, the emperor did not enter the harem for a day, and no concubines were called to the Qianqing Palace to sleep, even Concubine De had never seen the emperor once, everyone understood the seriousness of the situation this time, secretly inquired about the situation of the Qianqing Palace, lived cautiously, and did not dare to add another anger to the emperor's frowning brows every day.
In the harem, only at this time there will be rare comfort and even unity, and the women will no longer be jealous, because they know that once something happens to the court, once the emperor has an accident, there will be nothing for them, and only in such a day, Concubine Rong and Lan Qi will be idle, so idle that Concubine Rong laughed at herself and said: "Why don't we change into riding clothes and fight for the emperor?" ”
Jokes are naturally jokes, no one is looking forward to war, and others only know that there is going to be a war, Lan Qi also knows that this time on the expedition, Xuan Ye will personally lead the troops. In the scorching summer, she spent every day in panic with cold hands and feet, and she couldn't wait to wake up in the middle of winter, so that she could spend this period of time quickly.
In the blink of an eye to June, Galdan led the troops into the east of the Wuerhui River, Shangshu Alani was ordered to lead the army to intercept, almost the whole army was annihilated, the Qing army was defeated, and Galdan advanced into Uzhumuqin, unstoppable.
Due to the defeat of the Wuerhui River, the imperial court was shrouded in a haze, and the civil and military generals truly realized that Galdan had the wisdom and courage to march and arrange, and the domineering and courage to stand out from the crowd.
On this day, Lan Qi led Wen Xian Wen Chen and Thirteen Fourteen to write and paint together, Wen Xian could still write a few words decently, the three younger brothers and sisters were all scribbling, and the sister put on a gentleman's posture, reprimanding them for being disobedient, scaring them into being beaten by Huang Ama in the future for such nonsense in the study, Lan Qi looked at it with a smile on the side, Xiao Fourteen couldn't bear to be reprimanded by his sister, pouting and pouting and pounced on Eniang.
Wen Xian chased after him and blamed his younger brother: "Boys can't always be coquettish, you stand up quickly, and if you stick to your mother again, I will beat you." ”
Xiao Fourteen looked at his sister with teary eyes, but he obediently let go of his hand and stood there obediently, Lan Qi was overjoyed, hugged his son and said to his sister: "Fourteen is still young, when he is two years older, E-Niang will let you discipline him, don't freak him out now." ”
As he was talking, someone was running outside in a hurry, Lan Qi's heart was inexplicably tight, and he saw the bamboo curtain lifted, and Huan Chun said with a tense face: "Niangniang, the Qianqing Palace has just issued an edict, long live the lord is going to drive the royal conquest." ”
Lan Qi trembled, bit her lip and calmed down: "I know, you tell the people in the palace, don't shout everywhere, be calm." ”
Xiao Fourteen knelt on her knees and asked, "Eniang, what did Huanchun say?" ”
Wen Xian already understood, and said seriously: "The royal drive is that the emperor Ama wants to lead the troops to fight, and this is what is sung in the play." ”
Lan Qi touched her daughter's head, praised her for being smart, and said gently: "On the days when Huang Ama is not at home, can my sister guarantee that she will not lead her younger brothers and sisters into naughty trouble, and wait for Huang Ama to come back, don't let your Huang Ama worry." ”
"E-Niang is not afraid, I will protect you." The thirteenth elder brother ran over, snuggled up to his mother and said, "Eniang, I will protect you with the fourth brother, as well as protect my sister and protect Sister Chen'er, and fourteen." ”
The thirteenth elder brother is honest, he speaks verbosely, but he works very hard and earnestly, his fists are clenched, and he looks like he really wants to go to the battlefield, followed by Xiao Chen'er and ran over, learning his brother's words: "E-niang, Chen'er protects you." ”
Wen Xian said disdainfully: "You all talk big, you can't even hold a pen." ”
The children were not convinced, and soon argued with their sister, the war and the emperor's imperial conquest were just words for them after all, and it didn't take long to forget everything just now, and the brothers and sisters went to play on the side.
Huanchun had the opportunity to say to his master: "Let's change my clothes and go to Ningshou Palace, the Queen Mother may have instructions." ”
As Huanchun expected, Lan Qi sat down in front of the dressing table and put on her head and face, and the queen mother sent an order to the six palaces to summon the concubines to Ningshou Palace to be obedient, although it was only a formal matter, no matter what the harem women did, they would not help the court, but they had to live on this form, maintain the dignity of the royal family, and not embarrass the emperor.
In the scorching heat of June, the sun was scorching, Lan Qi sat on her shoulders and came over to bake a sweat, and after getting off the ground, she took a handkerchief to wipe her sweat and did not want to lose her honor in front of the Queen Mother.
But seeing that everyone got out of the way, Concubine Hui walked out of it, Lan Qi bowed her head and said, "You also heard, right?" ”
Let's say that after everyone drove back to the palace in May, Lan Qi only saw Concubine Hui once in Ningshou Palace, and then at Chunxi's wedding, because the eldest brother saved herself, when she met in Ningshou Palace, she took the initiative to express her gratitude to Concubine Hui, and Concubine Hui has always been stable and generous before, how could she not accept Lan Qi's gratitude, the two politely said a few words, it didn't look like there was any estrangement, but they both knew very well in each other's hearts, and Lan Qi's hatred for Concubine Hui and Mingzhu never decreased by half a point.
Lan Qi responded: "I heard that the eldest brother is also going to go out with the army, and Sister Hui has raised a good son for the emperor. ”
At this time, Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi also arrived, and Concubine Yi stepped forward and said with a big grin: "I really don't know whether to congratulate Sister Huifei, the eldest brother is out, but no one is looking forward to fighting, but when the eldest brother returns triumphantly, the emperor's reward for his sister, you have to open the eyes of the sisters." ”
Concubine Hui smiled steadily: "Borrow your auspicious words, let's wait for the emperor's triumphant return." ”
The grandmother of Ningshou Palace came to invite all the ladies to enter, and the queen mother ascended to the throne in the main hall, and after everyone saluted, she said a lot of words solemnly, but the left is just those big truths, and the women listen to it.
Because the eldest brother accompanied the army this time, Concubine Hui would naturally be mentioned by the Queen Mother again, and the Queen Mother told her: "Fu Jin is young and ignorant, I don't know if I will say inappropriate words or do inappropriate things, as the daughter-in-law of the royal family, I must be cautious in my words and deeds, and I will summon Da Fu Jin into the palace today and teach her well." ”
