Chapter 090: I Didn't Expect It
Xiao Guizi first saluted the Nala clan, and then replied: "Gonggong Liang entered the Xianfu Palace with a holy decree, and this person will pay homage to the concubine Niangniang in the main hall." ”
Hearing this, Nala looked stunned and didn't say a word, but Zixuan couldn't help but ask again: "That's it?" ”
Xiao Guizi nodded, and for a while the room was as quiet as death, and after a while, Zixuan hesitated and asked again:
"Grandpa Liang didn't look at us?"
Xiao Guizi thought for a while, and responded a little uncertainly: "It seems that I have taken a look, but I didn't pay close attention to ......"
Seeing his ambiguous appearance, Zi Xuan couldn't help but feel irritable, waved her hand and said, "Okay, you stand down, stare carefully at the side of the main hall, and come in and return to the master as soon as you find anything." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Guizi hurriedly responded, took a few steps back, turned around and walked out of the door.
"Lord, it's probably good news!"
Seeing that the tears that had been stopped by the Nara clan welled up in her eyes again, Zi Xuan sighed secretly and comforted softly: "The emperor will never refute the face of the queen mother, and the master has the right words from the queen mother, listen to the advice of the slave, and worry a lot, so we will wait in the house for a while." ”
As Zixuan's voice fell, Xiao Guizi bowed down and hurriedly entered the house: "Master, Gonggong Liang came out of the main hall and came over to us, and there are concubines...... Jing Concubine Niangniang is afraid that something has happened! ”
Nara's eyes widened: "How do you say that?" ”
She wasn't gloating, she just felt that the news was too sudden, and Concubine Jing didn't seem to have done anything else to deceive people except that she didn't let her see her son.
"Tell me specifically, hurry up!"
Zixuan urged Xiao Guizi.
She doesn't like concubines, on the one hand, concubines don't let their masters see the eighth elder brother, on the other hand, concubines always have a cold and noble style, and don't take concubines lower than her rank in their eyes.
Okay, it's too much to say this, but Concubine Jing always regards the low-ranking concubines as air, and when she sees it, she only treats it as if she doesn't see it, as if she is very high, and the eyes that ignore others hate it when she looks at it.
However, when it comes to her background, Jing Concubine was just born in the eight Han families - the Wang family, that is, the Han Army Banner, and her head of the family is a real Manchurian noblewoman, which is comparable to Jing Concubine from the Han Army Banner?
But Concubine Jing relied on her to be the master of Xianfu Palace and suppressed her master, hmph, don't you think very highly of yourself and look down on her master? Then why do you have to play tricks, wanting to turn her master's eighth elder brother into her own son?!
Zixuan extremely despised Concubine Jing's former style, so she listened to Xiao Guizi say: "Concubine Jing Niangniang and Aunt Qiuhe beside her are wearing plain clothes, and they don't wear any ornaments on their heads, and the guards who followed Liang Gonggong to Xianfu Palace came out of the main hall and walked straight to the outside of Xianfu Palace. ”
"Is it going to the cold palace?"
Zixuan said this, suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes shifted, and she looked at Nalashi, seeing that the other party's eyes were dull because of the words that popped out of her mouth, she withdrew her hand, pursed her lips and said to Xiao Guizi: "Father-in-law Liang is afraid that it is almost here, you hurry up and go outside the door to greet you." ”
Xiao Guizi replied in a low voice and walked towards the door in a sluggish manner, and at this moment, Liang Jiugong walked in from outside the door under the guidance of Ziyun, another big palace maid of the Nala clan.
Without saying much, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Kangxi opened his mouth to tell the emperor's message, and without staying for a moment, he turned around and prepared to leave the side hall of the Nala clan, but when he was about to step out of the threshold, he suddenly paused, turned his head and said:
"By the way, the emperor also has a sentence for the miscellaneous family to tell the nobles of Nala, since the queen mother wants to learn double-sided embroidery, the nobles can carefully teach the queen mother, but you need to remember that you must not be tired of the queen mother."
After a moment's pause, Liang Jiugong glanced at the Nala clan carefully, and continued: "There is another thing that the miscellaneous family almost forgot, the emperor turned over the green head card of the nobleman of Nala, and the nobleman is so good to clean up, don't forget to serve in front of the palace." ”
He really didn't expect that this wooden beauty would one day become as smart as the concubine Wu Ya, knowing that hugging the queen mother's thighs, now not only can he see the eighth elder brother every day, but also get the opportunity to sleep after nearly two years, it seems that among the many salted fish in the harem, this one is afraid to turn over!
Liang Jiugong was even thinking that it would not be long before the edict of promotion would be worn to the Nala clan.
"Master! Master, do you hear me? Jing Concubine was really beaten into the cold palace by the emperor, our eighth elder brother was studying in the study room, and before living in the elder brother's house, he lived in Yumo Xuan.
Although the eighth elder brother is still not raised by the master himself, the emperor's edict makes it very clear that the master can go to Yumoxuan to visit the eighth elder brother at any time, great, really good! ”
Zixuan cried with joy, and kept talking: "By the way, master, the slave is waiting for you to bathe and pick up, go to the emperor early, you can also help the emperor grind, serve the emperor's tea, and seize the opportunity to cultivate feelings with the emperor." ”
Yumoxuan is located in the left rear of the west side hall of Xianfu Palace, very close to the west side hall, and is an independent small courtyard. This was deliberately arranged by Kangxi, so that it would be convenient for the Nala clan, who lived in the west side hall, to take care of the eighth elder brother on weekdays.
"Am I not dreaming?"
Nala had not yet recovered from the series of surprises, and when she heard her slightly stupid voice, Zi Xuan smiled and said: "It's not a dream, master, we didn't dream, the eighth elder brother is no different from you raising it personally, and the emperor turned over your brand tonight......"
The palace people who served the Nala clan were all in the house at this time, and they were all as happy as Zixuan, raising their sleeves and wiping their tears.
The master is not favored, has no status in the harem, and is bullied wherever he goes, even with them who serve the master, now it's okay, the master salted fish turned over, not only can he get close to the eighth brother at any time, but also was turned over by the emperor The green head card, look at those villains who once looked down on them and bullied them, and dare not find their stubble again!
Nala finally came back to her senses, she looked moved, and said very firmly: "I will take out my housekeeping skills and teach the Queen Mother double-sided embroidery!" ”
The eighth elder brother who saved her from the Queen Mother was the great benefactor of their mother, and today she helped her get such dignity in front of the emperor, from now on, no matter what others say, she will honor the Queen Mother wholeheartedly.
As for the holy favor given by the emperor, she is very happy, and she will serve the emperor with all her heart when he needs it. If the emperor still doesn't like her after tonight and forgets her like before, she will accept it calmly, will not have the slightest complaint, keep her duty, and watch the eighth elder brother grow up safely, and her life is enough.
"The slave really didn't expect that Jing Concubine is so cold and noble, but her mother's brother is a master who robs the people's daughter, ignores human life, and commits evil deeds, with such a brother and a father who has no way to teach his son, it is not surprising that Jing Concubine ended up in the cold palace."
Jing Concubine Wang Jia's maiden family fell, the evidence is conclusive, her brother was beheaded according to the law, the house slaves were sold, and all the relatives next to her were exiled to Ningguta, and Jing Concubine, as the mother of the main seat of Xianfu Palace, ignored the royal rules and suppressed the low-ranking concubines, and her heart was really unbearable.
In short, Kangxi threw Jing Concubine into the cold palace, and the charges were pressed a lot, and the reason why he did not directly cut off Jing Concubine's concubine position and demoted to a concubine was because he remembered that Jing Concubine's father had contributed to the court, otherwise, Jing Concubine entered the cold palace, Kangxi would not order him to take the palace maid Qiu He to go with him, so as to serve Jing Concubine in the cold palace.
This is the case on the surface, but according to the past of Jing Concubine recorded in Qing history, since the nineteenth year of Kangxi, there will no longer be any news related to Jing Concubine in this palace.
The location of the cold palace is remote, and it is overgrown with weeds, and Jing Concubine was helped into the gate of the cold palace by Qiu He, and there was a "creaking" sound behind her, followed by the sound of locking. "Master, we'll live here from now on?"
The sound of crazy laughter came into the ears from time to time, and it was terrifying to hear, Qiu He couldn't help but tighten his hand holding Jing Concubine, his voice trembled, and his face showed a little panic and fear: "If we can't get out again, I'm afraid we will have to go crazy too." ”
"Get out? Where can I go? ”
Concubine Jing was discouraged, pushed open the door of a room, looked at the dilapidated tables and chairs inside, looked at the cobwebs on the walls and roof, she froze at the door for a while, and then walked into the house:
"My brother robbed the people's daughter, and took three lives on his hands, and the emperor beheaded her, dismissed my father, and exiled me to Ningguta with my mother and my eldest brother's family, as well as my sister who had not yet reached the end of time.
This is already a lot of grace from our family, how dare I expect to come out of this cold palace again? What's more, I did commit a crime in this harem, but the emperor did not directly demote me to a concubine, leaving me with the last trace of dignity, what do you say I am not satisfied with? ”
Qiu He was speechless by Concubine Jing for a while, and after a while, she said:
"Master, you sit on this bed for a while, and the slave will go to fetch water and scrub the tables and chairs well."
With the accompaniment, the corners of Qiu He's mouth tightened, walked quickly to the bed, wiped a place for Jing Concubine to sit with her sleeve, and then, she found a rag in the house, turned around and walked out of the door, and went to the well to fetch water.
Looking at Qiu He's distant back, Jing Concubine lifted the corners of her lips, and a wry smile slowly rippled out, how could she not see Qiu He's thoughts?
But what can she say?
Although Qiu He was the personal maid she brought into the palace, and served her when she was a child, after entering the palace, she took care of the affairs around her wholeheartedly, and became a well-deserved palace maid by her side.
In the sixteenth year of Kangxi, the emperor sealed the harem, and she was fortunate to be one of the seven concubines, ranking in the first palace.
To be honest, she doesn't doubt Qiu He's loyalty at all, after all, with her temperament, she hates to take care of the people around her and such and such trivial matters, therefore, as her confidant,
The eunuchs and maids of Xianfu Palace and the housekeeping are undoubtedly all working for Qiuhe, and for several years, they have never let her worry about it, and everything is well organized, but today it fell from a height,
A holy decree made Qiu He accompany her to the cold palace to spend the rest of her life, although the other party did not show anything unusual, but she could feel that the cold palace life was repulsive to Qiu He.
Do you blame each other?
No, she doesn't blame her, Qiu He didn't feel sorry for her master, it was she who brought the other party to the burden, it was her brother who made mistakes, it was she who made mistakes, and the whole family suffered. If Qiuhe wasn't brought into the palace by her from the house,
Then even if she is beaten into the cold palace by the emperor, Qiu He will be reassigned to the place next to the palace by the Internal Affairs Office, like other palace people who serve her, instead of accompanying her to this cold palace to suffer and suffer.
Walking to the bedside, Concubine Jing sat down slowly, she pursed her lips, looked through the broken window, looked at the sky red by the afterglow of the sunset: "Nara ......"
Concubine Jing muttered: "This palace is underestimating you!" ”
smiled self-deprecatingly, she had heard Qiu He say that the Nala clan had been out of Xianfu Palace today, but she didn't pay attention to it at the time, until the people sent by Qiu He came back and mentioned that the master and servant of the Nala clan had entered Ningshou Palace, and at that moment she was inexplicably a little flustered in her heart.
Eighth Elder Brother, she immediately thought of Eighth Elder Brother, and followed her to sit still, worried that the purpose of the Nala clan going to Ningshou Palace was related to Eighth Elder Brother, but she guessed correctly...... However, what she didn't guess was that her mother's brother committed an accident, and her father was dismissed from office, and the family was implicated and exiled to Ningguta by the emperor.
lost her support in the previous dynasty, and she still has the need to exist in the harem? The answer is self-explanatory. But if you want to deal with her, you must have a reasonable reason, and you can't pull her a no-fault harem concubine because of her brother's mistakes, so the Nala clan and the eighth elder brother became the reason for the emperor to deal with her.
took care of the prince inadequately, and almost caused the eighth elder brother to die early, selfishly, isolated the biological mother of the Nara clan from visiting the eighth elder brother, and on these two mistakes, a holy decree sent her into the cold palace. She didn't want to harm Eighth Elder Brother, however, Eighth Elder Brother almost died, but she had an inseparable responsibility with her.
In order to prevent the eighth elder brother from only recognizing his biological mother and not recognizing her as an adoptive mother, she strictly guarded against it from the first day that the eighth elder brother came to her side, and did not allow the Nara clan to approach the eighth elder brother.
If you can't give birth to a son and a half daughter, and you don't have the grace of the saint, you can only wait for death alone for the rest of your life.
Knowing her own situation, knowing that in the emperor's heart, she has long lost her place, and she is bound to seize every opportunity she can seize, such as the eighth elder brother who was sent to her to raise,
With this child, it is equivalent to having hope, in the future, even if the eighth elder brother can't do anything big, but he is crowned a prince, even if it is the king of the county, it is very good, and the emperor ascends to heaven, as the eighth elder brother's mother, the new emperor is not allowed to ascend the throne to show grace to the brothers, so that the princes can take their eniang out of the palace and live in the palace to be filial.
At that time, if the Nala clan is still alive, even if the eighth elder brother will take the other party out of the palace together, she is confident that the status of the Nala clan in the eighth elder brother's heart is not comparable to her adoptive mother.
The idea is very beautiful, but the reality has hit her hard!
Nara didn't know where he got the courage to learn the tricks of the concubine, and delivered a message to the emperor through the queen mother, giving the emperor a reasonable reason to punish her.
Retracting her gaze, Concubine Jing closed her eyes until she heard movement in the house, then she slowly opened her eyes, she watched Qiu He wipe the table and chairs with a wet rag, the corners of her lips moved, and said lightly: "You won't stay in the cold palace for too long, if you have the opportunity to leave the palace, find an honest man in the farmhouse to marry." ”
Qiu He's action of wiping the table and chair froze, and he met Jing Concubine's indifferent gaze in confusion: "Master, what do you mean by this?" ”
Concubine Jing didn't answer, but continued: "You were bought by your father and mother to give people teeth, and then sold them into my Wang Jia's mansion by people's teeth, and after half a year in the house, you learned the rules from the housekeeper mother.
was assigned to serve in my room, because you look like a clever person, your mouth is tight, and you are quick to do things, and slowly I treat you as my own sister, and over the years, you have not disappointed me,
Everything is for my sake, take care of me and do my best, this time there was an accident in the house, I also made a mistake myself, and it affected you to follow you to the cold palace to suffer, Qiu He, if you want to complain, you can blame me, but don't worry, I said that you will not stay in the cold palace for too long, and this will definitely come true. ”
"Where is the master, where is the slave and the slave, the slave and the maid are not going anywhere!"
Qiu He's eyes were red, and she choked up, she felt that Jing Concubine was very wrong, but if she wanted her to say that she was ugly, she didn't know where to start, in short, she was extremely uneasy at this moment.
That's right, she was afraid to stay here in this dilapidated and barren place for the rest of her life, looking at the cold palace that was quite infiltrating, thinking if she could leave here, but she was a slave after all, and she didn't say that she could leave the cold palace if she wanted to.
Moreover, even if there is a chance to leave alone, she ...... I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to leave her master alone...... The master is her young lady, she is the young lady who has been serving by her side since she was a child, and she is not thin, if she leaves her master alone and goes out of the cold palace, she will definitely have a bad conscience.
Thinking of this, Qiu He felt embarrassed for her desire to turn around and leave the cold palace as soon as she entered the cold palace.
At that moment, she really had a grudge against her master, even if it was just a moment, but she really had a grudge, and she felt that among the servants who served her master, she was unlucky.
It was specifically mentioned by the emperor in the holy decree that he took care of the master's living in the cold palace. On the other hand, the master actually wanted to get her out of the cold palace, and didn't want her to suffer in the cold palace with her.
My heart was uncomfortable for a while, Qiu He didn't hear Concubine Jing speak, pursed her lips and said:
"It's actually good to clean up inside and outside this place, master, you don't have to do anything, the slave will be able to change the old look here as soon as possible, go back and the slave and maid want to get some rapeseed or something to plant in the yard, and buy a few chickens to raise, our life will not be too sad."
Concubine Jing just smiled faintly, without speaking, she turned her eyes back to the window, her thoughts gradually drifted away, as for where she floated, no one knew except herself.
The next morning, there was an exclamation in the cold palace, followed by a cry of grief.
After Emperor Kangxi went to the early court, he heard Liang Jiugong whisper to report the matter of the cold palace, and learned that Jing Concubine hanged herself in the cold palace last night, and the personal maid Qiu He entered the house early in the morning to wait for the master to get up and wash, and found that Jing Concubine's body had been stiffened, and then when Jing Concubine's body was carried away by the guards, she crashed to death on the wall.
"It's a loyal one, let's hide it together!"
If it weren't for Hua Shan's inaction in the past two years, if it weren't for Hua Shan's second son who robbed the people's daughters and carried a few lives on his back, he would not have taken off the other party's top flower feather, and would not have exiled him to Ningguta.
And Jing Concubine, when she was admitted to the palace, it was related to her family's status in the previous dynasty, as for what happened after Jing Concubine entered the palace, he actually didn't pay much attention to it, until the eighth elder brother almost had an accident in Jing Concubine,
This woman re-entered his eyes, originally he planned to finish taking care of Huashan, and stay in Xianfu Palace with Jing Concubine, after all, raising one more person in the harem is not a big deal for him,
But Nala's brain suddenly opened up, and he asked the Queen Mother to be the master, and poked out the matter that Jing Concubine did not allow her to see the eighth elder brother, and mentioned it in front of him through the mouth of the Queen Mother, as the king of a country,
He ignored such trivial matters, and no one dared to say anything, but as a son of man, he couldn't break the face of the queen mother, and in the end, Concubine Jing could only enter the cold palace and take responsibility for her mistakes.
However, he didn't expect that Jing Concubine would choose to hang herself, in his memory, Jing Concubine didn't like to laugh very much, and looked down on his favor, just like a desireless outsider, such a character, living in the cold palace, it stands to reason that it is not the right and its intentions, clinker, less than a day, choose to hang yourself to escape the life of the cold palace.
Could it be that the desirelessness and wantlessness she showed before were all pretended? Pretend to show him? Otherwise, why seek death?
He left her the last dignity, did not degrade to a concubine, lived in the cold palace as a concubine, and sent her personal maid to the cold palace together, so as to take care of her life in the cold palace.
So far, the concubines who were beaten into the cold palace by Emperor Kangxi have only one concubine.
Liang Jiugong received the order, went to the gate of the Qianqing Palace, and explained to a small eunuch, who nodded and quickly walked away.
……
The big guy Gu Mochen is just a person who can't be idle, obviously Emperor Kangxi allowed him to have a good time for a while, but this big guy deserves it well in his mouth, but his actions are still the same as usual,
Drill the laboratory, go to the manufacturing office, and listen to his husband Dai Zi explain to him about artillery. The five-shot semi-automatic wooden warehouse has been built, the test firing has been successful, and the firearms manufacturing office has been put into production.
There is no need to worry about Gu Mochen anymore, well, at least for a few years, there is no need for Gu Mochen to bother with this aspect of firecrackers, because Gu Mochen is confident, and the five-shot semi-automatic step wooden warehouse currently produced by Daqing,
It is definitely a leader in the research and development of firearms in all countries in the world, and if it wants to surpass the Qing Dynasty, unless any country can develop a wooden warehouse that is more powerful than the five-fire semi-automatic step wooden warehouse.
With this self-confidence,
In addition, the firearms manufacturing office belongs to the encryption department, and there is no possibility that there will be drawings, or the outflow of wooden warehouse parts, Gu Mochen is naturally very relieved, so he wants to make improvements in the artillery - long range, great power!
After the development and test launch was successful, Gu Mochen felt that it was necessary for the Qing Dynasty to hold a military parade and conduct a test launch in front of the Mongolian princes, so as to pray for a deterrent effect on the Mongolian princes, Western countries, and the neighbors of the Qing Dynasty.
Gu Mochen, the master, was so busy that his feet did not leave the ground, and the little eunuch Su Peisheng who served him was also very busy.
The little eunuch who has been serving the fourth elder brother Yinzhen since he was a child is undoubtedly Su Peisheng. I remember that day, Liang Jiugong led several six or seven-year-old little eunuchs to Ningshou Palace, when Gu Mochen, the tuanzi, had just learned to walk.
In accordance with the instructions of Emperor Kangxi, Liang Jiugong selected eight little eunuchs from the Internal Affairs Office to Ningshou Palace, and handed them over to Ye Xia, the queen mother, to choose two for the seventh elder brother Yinzhen to stay by his side, so as to cultivate the loyalty of the little eunuchs to his master from an early age.
After asking the names of the little eunuchs one by one, Ye Xia left two skinny children, one of whom was Su Peisheng.
