Chapter 139: The Ten Princes Lost Their Mother

In the thirty-third year of Kangxi, on the third day of November, Concubine Wen died of illness in Chengqian Palace.

As the highest-ranking concubine in Kangxi's harem, the Internal Affairs Office carries out all the regulations of the funeral in an orderly manner in accordance with the concubine etiquette.

This methodical is the death of the first three queens one after another.

The current officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have a lot of experience and rarely make mistakes.

And Emperor Kangxi treated the three surnames of Hesheli, Niu Hulu, and Tong Jia as concubines when they entered the palace.

In the funeral, it is even more important.

On the first day of the new year, the Tai Hospital reported the condition of the concubine to Kangxi.

The emperor stopped in the Chengqian Palace all day and did not serve the council.

On the third day of the new year, the emperor was grieving, and found a scholar to start drawing up the name of the concubine.

This is also the only concubine in this dynasty who has a nickname.

The emperor valued the aftermath of Concubine Wen, and the palace followed suit.

Since Wen Guifei Niu Hulu entered the palace, she was canonized as a concubine before giving birth to a child, and later she gave birth to ten princes, and her health was not as good as day by day.

At the same time as the palace power was decentralized, her good reputation was getting better day by day.

Niu Hulu's sisters have formed a lot of good karma in Kangxi's harem, and her sister Empress Xiaozhao still succeeded in canonizing her as the queen as the daughter of the criminal minister Ji Bilong.

Empress Xiaozhao never gave birth to an heir.

A queen who has no heirs and has a good relationship will naturally have a good reputation.

Concubine Wen's fate is somewhat similar to that of her sister, although she gave birth to an heir, but when she was in power, she did not have a deep impact on the harem pattern.

Now that she has fallen, no matter what the four concubines of the harem think in their hearts, they dare not be ambiguous about the etiquette on their faces.

Because there is a princess in Chengqian Palace, she is pregnant.

On the fifth day of the first month of November, the Ministry of Internal Affairs temporarily placed the coffin in the funeral palace outside Chaoyangmen, and the ministers of the Manchu and Han dynasties went to the funeral palace.

Since the third day of the new year, Lu Pheasant has followed into the palace, first gathering in the morning, noon and evening.

She watched from afar, and the ten princes, as the sons of the concubines, cut off their braids, took off their crowns, and wore clothes.

The little person, like a puppet with a string, the tears in his eyes did not stop for a moment.

The Tenth Prince just passed his eleventh birthday last month, and he became a motherless child.

Originally, if Concubine Wen was still alive and had been in power long enough, according to the identity of the mother family Niu Hulu clan, the status of the ten princes was probably only lower than that of the crown prince Yinren.

Now he lives alone in the Elder Brother's Institute, and I am afraid that he may not be well taken care of even three meals a day in the future.

When he grew up, the tenth elder brother and the ninth elder brother became members of the eighth elder brother's camp, and were implicated by the Yongzheng Emperor after ascending the throne, seized the title, and imprisoned in Beijing.

The son of a dignified concubine, in the end, was only buried in the grade of Gushan Beizi.

The Ten Princes are now at a fork in the road in their lives, but this child who is crying with his head bowed on his back doesn't know if he notices it.

Concubine Wen closed her eyes, afraid that she was looking at the ten princes, and she was entangled in every way.

How much she should be reluctant, she can't bear to look at her only child, who will be helpless in the future.

If the status of the concubine is stable, the ten princes are afraid that they will be jealous of the emperor and the crown prince when they grow up.

But now that she is dead, who else will take care of the Ten Princes for her?

After Lu Pheasant entered the palace, Concubine Wen lingered on the sickbed, and she rarely appeared in the harem.

However, because the fourth elder brother and the ninth elder brother had a discord when they were young, and the tenth elder brother and the ninth elder brother were inseparable, Lu Pheasant had a little impression of this gentle and lively young man.

After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Sijiu City is like a giant ship, continuing to sail to the other side of time.

In addition to the Chengqian Palace, there is no main mother, except for the ten elder brothers, who are in a trance and don't know the years in the world.

On the ninth day of the first month, the emperor resumed handling political affairs.

This seemingly ordinary funeral at the end of the year seems to have turned the page.

After Lu Pheasant returned home, he found Mama Shu.

Because she has two small earth dogs, Mama Shu often leads the two puppies to wander between the front yard and the back yard in the afternoon.

As the puppy grows up, there is a difference.

The big one was all yellow, except for the tip of the nose, which was a little black.

The small one has yellow and white fur, and the corners of his eyes are drooping, and he always looks a little pitiful.

No one in the house has named them yet.

The two dogs were originally brought back by Fujin.

Usually, when they walk, they enter Baotang Courtyard, and Fujin will stop and watch them play in circles.

As a result, these two puppies are simply the most free creatures in the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion.

The big dog was willing to be close to people, and Lu Pheasant picked it up and looked at the second dog who was staring at her pitifully in the corner: "Mama Shu, you can follow me into the palace tomorrow." ”

"Yes, Fujin."

The fourth elder brother went out of the palace and went home.

In the past, the itinerary of the fourth elder brother was probably inseparable from the mansion and the study room in the imperial city, and he regularly went to Yonghe Palace to ask for peace, and occasionally went to Tong'an Huangzhuang to take a trip, if he went to the gold and silver building, it was to bring gifts to his own little Fujin.

Now, with the addition of the household department, the itinerary of the fourth elder brother is not very fixed.

Sometimes there will be official banquets, and the fourth elder brother will occasionally attend.

Lu Pheasant asked: "Master went to the study today and saw the tenth elder brother?" ”

The fourth elder brother recalled Fang Dao: "In the hut between him and the ninth elder brother, there was no sound. I think I'm still resting. ”

"Tomorrow, do you have any arrangements?"

Fourth Elder Brother: "I saw the front yard move the two dogs' nests into the carriage, but Fu Jin is going to see them?" ”

Lu Pheasant: "At that time, the tenth brother saw them and liked them. I don't think my master ever named them later, so I think I already have an idea. It's just waiting for an opportunity, maybe this time of the year, it's quite appropriate. ”

Fourth Elder Brother: "I'll go to Elder Brother with you tomorrow." ”

The next day, Lu Pheasant got up early in the morning.

The fourth elder brother took Fu Jin's hand and got into the carriage.

Just after the winter solstice, the wind in the capital has already blown people's cheeks.

The imperial city in the harsh winter has added a bit of slaughter.

Lu Pheasant came from the Han family, which admired black and red, and at the beginning she was not used to seeing the red walls and yellow tiles, but she felt that her eyes were full of brilliant colors, and there was nothing underneath.

It is not as noble as black, solemn and dignified.

After seeing it for a long time, Lu Pheasant gradually got used to these two warmer bright colors.

It has always been history and ideas, not simple decoration.

I haven't been to Brother's house for a while, and the courtyard of the old fourth elder brother has also moved into a new resident, Little Fourteen.

The fourteenth elder brother was still fighting with the winter quilt, and suddenly heard the voice of saluting outside: "Greetings to the fourth elder brother." ”

Fourth brother?

Why did he come all of a sudden?

A while ago, my brother was just allowed to join the household department, and there was not much cleanliness in Xiao Fourteen's ears in those days.

Of course, within a few days, on the third brother's side, Khan Ama also let him enter the Ministry of Rites, which stopped a lot.

Counting the days, Xiao Fourteen hasn't spoken to his brother in private for a while.

He has been busy mourning the concubine recently, and he hasn't caused any trouble, right?

Brother Ten was in such a bad mood, he was embarrassed to play by himself.

That brother is here, what can it be?

Little Fourteen and a carp straightened up, grabbed a big piece and rushed out of the door.

A "brother" hasn't been shouted yet.

He watched the fourth elder brother walk in front of him without squinting.
