Chapter 143, palace power, and heirs
The sixth elder brother was born only five days ago, and he was ordered by the emperor to take the queen's moon Kaiyun.
In this regard, of course, the queen was crazy with joy, even when the concubine asked for peace, she was smiling, Shu Jin felt a lot more relaxed, but Concubine Dun was so angry that she fell ill.
Alas, this little rice cake is getting more and more delicate.
On this occasion, the Empress Dowager proposed that she wanted to return to the Forbidden City, saying that she missed the Cining Palace where the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang lived in the past.
It is said that since Yongzheng moved to the garden in the second year, Yongzheng except for some necessary sacrifices, is the permanent garden, the Forbidden City is abandoned, and the courtiers have long been dissatisfied with this. But Yongzheng turned a blind eye.
But now, the words of the Empress Dowager, he can't turn a blind eye.
Finally, in the late autumn of the third year of Yongzheng, I finally returned to the Forbidden City after a long absence.
It's hard work for Li Guiren, and she came back with a big belly, there is no way, you can't leave her in the garden for the winter, right? Shu Jin is not at ease.
But the concubine was really left in the garden.
Even the imprisoned Qi nobles came back, but the concubine was going to spend the New Year alone in the Old Summer Palace.
It's really feng shui in turns.
At the beginning, who would have thought that the noble and favored concubine would end up where she is today?
It seems to be caused by the indifference of the Empress Dowager, but Shu Jin can see that this old lady still wants to save the life of the concubine. Only by separating her from the queen can the concubine be saved from the queen's poisonous hands.
But this is obviously only temporary.
When the Empress Dowager is alive, she can naturally be protected, but if she drives to the west one day......
Wait a minute!
Shu Jin couldn't help but feel shocked, Once the Empress Dowager goes west, with the queen's vicious nature, I am afraid that she will not hesitate to do the thing of "killing the mother and taking the child"!
Therefore, the concubine can live for a few days, but it depends on the life span of the old lady.
However, the Empress Dowager's health seemed to be bad, and soon after returning to the palace, the old lady fell ill.
Well, Shu Jin had no choice but to appease Tianshen Fat Boy, explain that he would take good care of Li Guiren below, and then went to Cining Palace to report to work.
After all, she is also a high-ranking concubine, and she is also obliged to serve the Empress Dowager.
This majestic and prosperous Cining Palace is extremely dignified today.
Shu Jin smelled the strong smell of medicine, the bead curtain in the inner dormitory was slightly rolled, vaguely visible, serving in front of the bed, in addition to Yongzheng, the filial grandson, there were the queen mother Wu Ya who was the daughter-in-law, the granddaughter-in-law Queen Wulanara, and the concubine Xuan Borzigit, and ...... A few eye-born concubines.
Kang Mazi really left a lot of widows, some of these people are lucky, they have gone to their son's palace to live for a long time, such as Concubine Rong, Concubine Cheng, Concubine Ding and others, and some of the sons offended the new monarch Yongzheng, and the evening is bleak. But there are still a few high-ranking concubines who have no children...... I think it's the eye-born people in the inner sanctum.
Shu Jinzi can also guess the identity, such as Empress Xiaoyiren's own sister, the first emperor Tong Guifei, the current imperial concubine, and the other younger, presumably Kangxi and the concubine Guerjia, who is now respected as the concubine. There are even two younger and more beautiful ones, I think they are Concubine Mi and Concubine Qin - these two are still in the palace to recuperate, mainly because they are still younger...... After all, Yongzheng also had to consider the color of the first emperor's hat.
Shu Jin glanced at the Xi Concubine Niu Hulu who was full of concern on her face, as well as the still delicate and haggard Concubine Dun Nian, and the concubine Song who came almost front and back with her.
Looking at the battle of the first emperor's concubines, and then at the concubines of Yongzheng, Shu Jin suddenly felt that these three concubines and one concubine were really a bit few.
Especially small rice cakes, where can this serve the sick?
In the inner hall, Yongzheng personally served the decoction for his grandmother, the Empress Dowager, but he was quite patient.
It wasn't until he finished feeding the bowl of medicine that Yongzheng walked out of the inner hall and glanced at the concubines who were qualified enough to serve the sick.
Seeing this, Shu Jin and the four of them hurriedly curtsy.
Concubine Xi asked with a concerned face: "I don't know how the Empress Dowager's phoenix body is?" β
The queen also walked out slowly, "Your Majesty, the empress dowager has fallen asleep." You look at this waiter......"
Yongzheng had a solemn face, showing a lot of age, "The previous dynasty was busy, and the queen mother is old again, and the queen needs to be dedicated to serving the emperor's grandmother." β
The queen hurriedly said: "Yes, the concubine must be good to serve the queen mother." β
Yin Zhen glanced at Concubine Xi, Concubine Yu, Concubine Dun and Concubine Mao a few more times, and said lightly: "As for a few of you...... Concubine Xi and Concubine Yu have heirs to take care of, and Concubine Dun is weak, if you have the heart, you can take the time to copy a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures. β
Shu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, she had no affection for the Empress Dowager, and she was not interested in serving the sick. What's more, the old lady has so many daughters-in-law, where does she need them to serve?
Yin Zhen glanced at the queen again: "I'm worried that the queen will be too busy." β
Hearing this kind of "concern" words, it made the queen chuckle in her heart, and she hurriedly said: "Thank you for the emperor's care, the concubines will do their best to ......."
Yin Zhen raised her hand to interrupt the queen's words, "You have to take care of the sixth elder brother and serve the imperial grandmother, so this harem matter will be handed over to Concubine Yu for the time beingββ"
Shu Jin was in a groove in an instant, why didn't the dog emperor pit the old lady coldly?!
Yinzhen paused, and said: "Just Concubine Yu and Concubine Xi, the two of them have always been steady and meticulous, and they want to be able to share the queen's worries." β
The queen was completely panicked, this is the authority of the middle palace, how is she willing to give it up, she couldn't help but shout: "Your Majesty! It's not in order! "The middle palace is still there, how can there be a reason for the concubine to be in power?!
Yin Zhen's face sank, and he reprimanded in a deep voice: "The queen pays attention to her manners, shouting and screaming, what kind of system is it?" β
The queen's face turned pale after being trained, and she hurriedly bowed and said, "The concubine just thinks that this is not in line with etiquette." β
Yin Zhen said coldly: "If the queen insists on going her own way, I will not be reluctant." It's just the sixth elder brother, I'm afraid that you can't take care of it well, and I have to choose an adoptive mother for him. β
The queen sighed in her heart, the emperor wanted him to make a choice between palace power and heirs!! The middle palace is in charge of the six palaces, which is where the rules lie, but the prince ...... But there is no rule that you must be raised by the queen!
The queen couldn't help but have a headache, and the emperor ...... Calculate her like this!
Yin Zhen was a little impatient, so he said: "Since the queen is unwilling, then send the sixth elder brother to Concubine Dun's knees." β
The delicate and delicate Concubine Dun couldn't help but be happy in her eyes, and hurriedly said: "The concubine will definitely take care of the sixth elder brother, and she will treat him as her own!" β
The queen was instantly annoyed, if Concubine Dun got the sixth elder brother, wouldn't it be a waste of work.
The queen gritted her teeth and bent her knees: "It's the concubine who is shallow, and she can't understand the emperor's compassion." The concubine is willing to entrust the palace affairs to Concubine Yu and Concubine Xi for the time being. β
Anyway, the Empress Dowager's illness is temporary, and when she recovers or dies of illness, there is naturally no reason to let the concubine continue to be in charge of palace affairs!
It's the sixth elder brother, and he can't be cheap, Concubine Dun, a slut!
