Chapter 23, the funeral of Emperor Shujia's concubine
Because of Fu Heng's action, the gossip that was unfavorable to the Nala clan was quickly suppressed.
And the Nala clan herself was not idle, she secretly investigated, although the rumors were spread from the Cheng'en Mansion, but at the beginning, Aunt Qiu was a corpse and two lives in the water, she was shut, and there were details of the old affairs of the Jiang family and the Shen family, how could the Guerjia clan know?
This investigation actually found Fu Heng's disgraced concubine Jiang Shujing.
The Nala clan was secretly annoyed, she had only the Jiang clan hated her for a long time, but the grasshopper shook the tree, so there was not much movement. The Jiang clan once bewitched the Rong clan to spit out the medicine!
It's just that the Rong family is pinched in his own hands, so he doesn't dare to act rashly!
Now......
The face of the Nala clan was grim, and now that he had just suppressed the rumors, it was naturally not appropriate to get rid of the Jiang clan, besides, there were few concubines in the Zhongyong Mansion, if there was one less, it would really be an excuse to criticize! The Jiang family is alive and occupies the position of a concubine, which is more useful to her.
"Grandpa has been unwell recently, and he ordered the Jiang family to copy a hundred volumes of Buddhist scriptures, and he is not allowed to go out if he can't finish copying them!" Nara commanded coldly. Nara thought to himself, in the future, he has a way to slowly grind this restless slut!
Fucha Yingyue secretly sighed to herself, a hundred volumes of Buddhist scriptures, I'm afraid I will have to copy it until next year~~
In winter, something big happened in the palace, and Jin Jia, the concubine who had been sick for a long time, died.
Qianlong issued an edict to posthumously crown the concubine Jin Jia as the imperial concubine and give Shujia the imperial concubine.
Now that he has become the deputy queen, this funeral is not trivial, and even Fu Heng, who has been recuperating, has also been "cured". After all, Fu Heng is the minister of the guard, and there is a big funeral in the palace, and the guards need to be dressed in white for the funeral, so he has to preside over the planning.
The death of the imperial concubine, although there is no need to serve 100 days of mourning like the death of the queen, but a few years ago, Fu Ling'an's marriage could not be done.
Nara couldn't help chattering: "I don't know what kind of yin owl I hurt this year, there is a big funeral in the palace, and the old lady of the prince's mansion also fell ill at the beginning of the year, if it is cold today, I don't know if I can survive it." Alas, the four county lords really have filial piety and have already rushed to serve the sick. "ββThe eldest sister-in-law of the eldest house, Liang, is the county lord of the prince's mansion, and has been raised under the knee of Concubine Ding since childhood.
The old concubine was sick, and even Qianlong went to visit him in person, without him, this concubine Ding was the last remaining concubine of the Holy Ancestor Kangxi! Now I'm 95 years old!
Fucha Yingyue thought that this should be the longest-lived concubine in the history of the Qing Dynasty. At such an age, even if you go, it is a joy and mourning. After all, even her son, Prince Yunqi, is in his seventies.
The eighth aunt was looking at Luozi on the side, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but sigh: "The old lady is so old, she doesn't even have a grandson, but I'm afraid that if I go, I won't be able to close my eyes!" β
That's right, since the fifteenth year of Qianlong, after the death of Hongkun, the younger brother of the four county lords and a compatriot, Prince Shi has completely disappeared.
Yingyue, the sister-in-law of the county lord, is not the concubine of Prince Xu, her biological mother is Fang Jia's family of Fang Fujin. This Fang Jia side Fujin is Prince Xu's favorite concubine, and he gave birth to three sons and three daughters before and after, but only the four county lords survived - I also know that such an early death rate is obviously abnormal.
This Prince Fu Jin, her cousin, is really a powerful person!
That's right, Prince Fu Jin is the daughter of her late uncle's grandfather, University Scholar Ma Qi, and Fu Jin is now a rare age, older than her grandmother Jue Luo.
Prince Fu Jin also gave birth to two sons in his early years, but they all died. And then the other concubines, even if they are born, will they die young?
Guo Errot secretly said, this old Fu Jin aunt and grandmother can't rub sand in her eyes, and the son of the world, Hongkun, was raised under the old lady's knees, and he died of illness. Why bother? If you have no children under your knees, you can raise one, but it's a big deal to keep a child and go to your mother. It's just that she didn't dare to say this, the younger daughter-in-law in front of her, the Nala clan, is also a person with the same heart, but the Nala clan is killing the same sons, and also protecting the three sisters-in-law, which is really powerful.
Golrot is very envious of this younger brother and sister in his heart, a woman wants to do all this, and it is indispensable to have a man to support her. This time, the rumors were dispelled so quickly, it was obvious that the Ninth Master had made a move.
Protecting his wife like this, her dead ghost husband can't even compare to half of it! Sheng Jing just came with the news that Yin Rong had another cousin.
"Why is my sister-in-law sighing?" Seeing that the Golrot clan was melancholy, the Nala clan couldn't help but ask.
Guo Errot hurriedly smiled and said, "It's just that I'm a little worried about the lord and Mingqi in Shengjing." "Mingqi is the eldest son of the Guoerrot clan, and he went to Shengjing with his father two years ago.
The Nala clan said secretly, I'm afraid I'm more worried about the eighth master's favorite concubine in Shengjing, right? It was not a family child, but after the eighth master went to Shengjing, Na's concubine, this little hoof had the ability, and within two years, he gave birth to a son.
Nara didn't want to poke the sore spot of the Golrot clan explicitly, so he said: "Mingqi is not Brother Ling'er, they are all people with daughters-in-law, some people know cold and hot, you can rest assured." β
Nara smiled, fortunately she had married her son three years ago, and she thought it was too early at the time. Now it seems that she chose the right one. Otherwise, in Shengjing, he was arranged by Fu Qian to marry a daughter-in-law who didn't know the roots, how could it be good.
While she was talking, Fu Ling'an came back from the palace. After coming back, it is rare to mention the funeral in the palace, "The eleventh elder brother lost his mother at a young age, cried and fainted, and the person who woke up was dumbfounded, and he couldn't even speak." β
When he thought that the eleventh elder brother was only three years old and about the same age as his daughter, he couldn't help but feel pity, "It's really pitiful." β
Fu Ling'an said again: "Fortunately, the Queen Mother is merciful and has already moved people to Cining Palace to take care of them." The third brother also lives in Cining Palace, and the eleventh elder brother has a companion, so he must be better. β
Nala bowed slightly, and showed a look of confusion: "Didn't the emperor object?" β
Fu Ling'an was silent for a moment, the emperor has many heirs, and the queen mother is also a grandson, but before that, no prince has been raised by the queen mother, but the fourth princess has always been under the knees of the queen mother. and the eldest princess and Princess Hewan all had a happy life under the knees of the Queen Mother in their early years.
Everyone understands what the emperor means. The queen mother's rank is precious, and if she raises the prince, it will undoubtedly increase its weight, and even affect the storage position.
The emperor seems to be filial, but in matters such as the throne, he is categorical and does not allow to be controlled by the queen mother.
Fu Ling'an said: "The eleventh elder brother is young and pitiful, and the emperor will inevitably feel a little more distressed. But the queen mother is about to give birth, and the pure concubine's body is not very good...... "And the rest of the concubines, the position is not as good as that of Emperor Shujia when she was alive, so it's not good to make the eleventh elder brother cheap, right?"
Nara showed a slight look of doubt: "Although Concubine Chun claims that her body is not very good, she should be happy to take care of a three-year-old prince." And Concubine Chun was also close to Concubine Jia during her lifetime. β
Fu Ling'an nodded: "Concubine Chun does seem to have the intention of raising her, but she was a step too late, and the Queen Mother was merciful and opened her mouth first." The emperor is not easy to refuse. After a pause, Fu Ling'an said again: "Anyway, the eleventh elder brother will be four years old, and the queen mother will raise her for a year or two, and then she will move to live in the elder brother's house." β
"When the prince turns six, he will go to live alone in the elder brother's house, which is the ancestral system. "There is an ancestral system horizontally there, and the Queen Mother can't disobey it. Therefore, the emperor did not object.
