Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

Chapter 86

Just like that small bottle, you can borrow it to play with it, but if you break it, you will lose the face of the owner.

The palace has its own rules and regulations.

Wu Malu knew that the imperial concubine Tong Jia came to test her first because of the incident before she became a concubine, which broke these rules and regulations.

Concubine Yi's favor is extremely favored, compared with her, she seems a bit more disciplined.

Coupled with the excessive rewards given by the previous emperors to the women they liked, the imperial concubine Tong Jia couldn't help but be on guard.

Because of the three types of concubines, the first type cannot be guarded against, the second type does not need to be guarded against, and the third type is what everyone in the harem is wary of.

The only one who occupies a high position with grace is the enemy of a woman who is named a concubine by her family background. How do you know that today the emperor made her a concubine because he loves her, and tomorrow he will make her a concubine just because he loves it regardless of the interests of the royal power? back?
The lessons of previous dynasties are still there.

Just like the empress Dong E of Xiaoxian, she was favored by the emperor when she entered the palace.On August 25 of the same year, she was named a virtuous concubine, and after only a month or so later, she was promoted to the imperial concubine.

In the second year, Concubine Dong E gave birth to the fourth son of the emperor. Emperor Shunzhi was extremely happy. The second son Aixinjueluo Fuquan and the third son Aixinjueluo Xuanye ignored it.

Perhaps for Emperor Shunzhi, only the child born to him and his beloved Concubine Dong E is his child, the eldest son of the emperor in his heart, and nothing else.

You know, Emperor Shunzhi treated this child as if he was born, and even pardoned the world afterwards.

Later, the child died, only because the doctor of the Ministry of Rites and Bi Tieshi did not abide by the chosen time when he was buried, and planned to behead the prison.Later, it was changed to two people wearing flails for two months, and a hundred lashes, and they were exiled to Ninggu Pagoda.

When Concubine Dong E died at that time, Emperor Shunzhi wanted to bestow all thirty eunuchs and court ladies to death, so as to prevent Concubine Dong E from lacking servants in other realms.And the people who carried Dong'e's concubine Zigong were the second and third rank ministers of the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

During this period, Emperor Shunzhi had several troubles with the current Empress Dowager because of Concubine Dong E.

Who doesn't know about this harem?Who dare not be on guard?

When Liuli was also having fun, she told her many things about that Concubine Dong E that she had heard from the elderly eunuchs and court ladies.

With the background of her previous favorite concubines, as the daughter of the Tong family, the noble concubine Tong Jia has heard a few words from her family, and it is inevitable that she will react so strongly.

There are traces to follow, what are you afraid of?I’m afraid that there is no way to imitate those who have no trace.

She thought of King Zhou You, people couldn't prevent King Zhou You from playing the feudal princes for Baosi, so it would be better if Baosi couldn't appear beside King Zhou You.

All this is not Baosi's fault, but who said that it was King Zhou You who fell in love with her?

She sighed softly, closed her eyes tiredly, and almost fell asleep.

and many more.

She opened her eyes suddenly.

Liuli said that only half a year after the death of Empress Xiaoxian Dong E, Emperor Shunzhi contracted the incurable disease at that time - smallpox.

At that time, on the second day of the first month of the 18th year of Shunzhi, Emperor Shunzhi arranged for Wu Liangfu to become a monk.On this day, he went to Minzhong Temple to watch Wu Liangfu's renunciation ceremony.On the night of his return, he contracted smallpox and developed a high fever.

And the previous year, on August 17, [-]th year of Shunzhi, Empress Xiaoxian Dong E died of illness.

Some people say that Dong E's family was infected with smallpox, and when Emperor Shunzhi took care of her, he was unfortunately infected, so he went there not long after.

However, there was a gap of four months between this.

Umalu blinked, lost in thought.

She remembered Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen saying after his beloved concubine Wan Gui left, "The Wan family is gone, and my life is not long."

Then, after seven months of arrangement, he passed away.

Is there a possibility?
She guessed that Shunzhi didn't die—Zhu Jianshen survived until the oil ran out, so he died forever.However, Emperor Shunzhi took Buddhism as his spiritual sustenance. If he became a monk, even if he was physically and mentally exhausted, he might be able to get better.

Maybe when he saw Wu Liangfu becoming a monk, he thought of becoming a monk again.

So I went to see it during the day, and developed a high fever at night, and died soon after.

When the emperor travels, the surrounding area will naturally be cleaned, so how can he be easily infected with smallpox?

But what about using smallpox as an excuse?
The empress dowager is his biological mother after all, they have lived together for many years, how could they have no feelings?If Emperor Shunzhi forced him with his life, a mother would naturally give in for her child.

But if this mother has a strong personality, she may rush to talk with her child, and make each other unyielding, just like a cockfight.

If the Empress Dowager had said something like "Don't come back after leaving home", and the Emperor Shunzhi was angry again "If you don't go back, you won't go back", the two of them would have to settle the matter...

Umalu widened his eyes slightly because of his conjecture.

She still remembered reading books in the past, and it was indeed written in the book that it was recorded in unofficial history that Emperor Shunzhi became a monk in Wutai Mountain, so Kangxi and Xiaozhuang went to Wutai Mountain to worship Buddha several times.

And these days, she heard from Liuli that the old eunuchs said that Emperor Shunzhi had a bad temper back then.

If this is the case, because of her own experience, the Empress Dowager would not like to see a woman similar to the Empress Xiaoxian Dong E, it would be perfectly normal.

That's why Kangxi was moody when facing her.

He was brought up by the empress dowager and respected the empress dowager, but he couldn't let her go easily.

If everything he had said to her was true, there was a reason why he would not love her well, nor let her go.

The Empress Dowager represents the world, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, and reason; what she represents is his desire, the desire he wants most from the bottom of his heart.

How can reason compare with desire?

That's people's hearts.

His grandfathers, Nurhachi and Huang Taiji were foreigners after all, they didn't understand Sinology, and they didn't know how to restrain their desires, so their likes and dislikes were clearly written on their faces.

And his father, Emperor Shunzhi, although he had received Sinology, he didn't go so deep, he only scratched the surface.He is also full of thoughts on Buddhism, although he cuts off his emotions and desires, he is only on the surface after all, like a monkey crowned.Nature loves pets at will.

As for Kangxi himself, he studied Sinology since he was a child, learned exegesis, and inquired about him, seeking general ideas and then being happy.Daily readers must make every word into a recitation, and never deceive themselves.Now that the books of the four sons have been comprehended, I read the Shangshu, and in the exegesis of Dianmo, I can understand the ancient emperors' diligent pursuit of governance.

Read Dayi again, watch phenomena and play with divination, and really feel the meaning and reason are pleasing to the heart.He is never tired of it, studious and tireless, and often reads until late at night without getting tired.

It is said that when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he was too overworked to study until he coughed up blood.

She used to be his tea serving maid, and also entered the inner room of Qianqing Palace, which was full of books, and she saw him flip through them with her own eyes.

He didn't put down the scroll until dawn, listening to the knowledge and knowledge of Westerners, and exchanging ideas with ministers.

He is diligent, smart, and hardworking, and he is willing to work hard every step of the way.

Although he is a Manchu, his thinking is similar to that of the Han people, he values ​​love and righteousness, and is good at forbearance.

A person like him will only find a balance between his relatives and his lover, and neither side will be wronged.

He is smart and careful.

But he didn't know that things in the world can't be both. If you want to be wronged by both sides, you will be wronged by both sides.

She closed her eyes again.

Let it go, let it go, let it go, all living beings are suffering, all sentient beings are evil, even if he is an emperor, it will be difficult for everything to go well, and the two sides will be perfect.

After the first month of the new year, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has entered a few beautiful women in coats, and several palace maids are under her name, occupying places, and she wants some newcomers who have just entered the palace to be more loyal. So I never asked anyone.

The House of Internal Affairs returned the maids to various places, and Lian Xin, Shi Xiaoxiao, and Wan Yan, who were previously under her name, were recorded under the name of Chuxiu Palace Gege, leaving no number of people.

Liuli felt sorry for her, so she ordered three newcomers in advance, planning to teach them by herself.

Since she represents Umalu's face, others will not say anything if she acts like this.

Liuli told Umalu about this matter, but Umalu didn't care about it, so if he nodded his head, he should know.

Yiyi said goodbye to those beautiful women in coats, and it was almost the end of January when they really entered the palace. After another twists and turns, they arrived at the Yonghe Palace in February.

Liuli ordered the newcomers to come to see him.

"Slave Yalich, I have seen my master."

"Slave Li Qiaoer, I have met my master."

"Slave Yuan Qingqing, I have met my master."

Umalu nodded, as if he had seen it.

Liuli led the people down, arranged their own work, and asked Baozhu to teach them how to behave.

Umalu glanced outside the door and said: "Baozhu is honest, you should teach her more."

Liuli smiled and said, "Yes."

Liu Li brought her a glass of water, and said: "Yin Shuang'er said that Elder Brother Liu is not in good health yet, and he only takes medicine every day, and he doesn't know when he will die."

Umalu glanced at her, knew what she was thinking, and said: "You don't need to say these words, now that I am pregnant, even if I want to bring it back, the emperor may not agree. What's more, the sixth child is not in good health. Staying with Concubine Hui is no different from staying with me, and there are fewer twists and turns."

Liuli smiled a little embarrassedly: "I just thought, after the sixth elder brother was born, the master hasn't met a few times."

Umalu sighed: "Either I am sick today, or he is sick tomorrow, or I have a child."

She sighed slightly: "There are a few concubines in this palace who raise their own children. Maybe I have nothing to do with these children."

"Master can't say such unlucky words." Liuli hurriedly said, "You still have a child in your belly."

Umalu didn't believe this: "If the child is gone because of saying a word, then it may indeed be that I don't have a destiny."

Liuli hastily poohed twice, as if she wanted to pooh away the bad luck.

Umalu smiled, leaned on the couch and flipped through the book.

Her mind is not calm, so she doesn't read those profound books, lest her mind become more and more confused.

In February, Kangxi went on a tour of Shengjing, with countless entourages of the holy car, the prince, and several concubines, such as Concubine Yi, Gege of Chuxiu Palace, Gege of Xianfu Palace, and Wei Guiren.

The imperial concubine Tong Jia stayed in the palace and was in charge of everything.

Liuli talked about it to Umalu.

Liuli said: "Master is pregnant, so it's inevitable to run around. It's better to rest and recuperate. Director Liang said that if master is bored, you can invite Master Tong to play chess together. It's also interesting."

Umalu smiled and said: "You don't need to persuade me like this, I know it well."

Liuli smiled and said, "That is."

Liu Li said again: "The emperor sends people to write letters almost every day to inquire about the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager's daily life, and will also inform the Empress Dowager and her own whereabouts."

Liuli told her interesting things in the palace: "I heard that the emperor went down to catch fish by himself, and the fat-sealed silver carp and crucian carp that arrived today were sent back to Beijing by the emperor, so that the empress dowager and The queen mother is trying it out."

Liuli said: "The empress dowager is getting older and doesn't like river fresh food, so she only keeps one for herself, and the rest will be handed out to the concubines and masters."

Liuli smiled and said, "The small kitchen got the fish and was thinking about making a bowl of fish soup for the master."

Umalu was slightly surprised: "I have it too?"

Liuli laughed and said: "Master, what is the point? After all, master is the concubine conferred by the emperor himself, whoever is refuted, can't refute the emperor's face."

Umalu realized that although the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager didn't like her, she was Kangxi's concubine after all, and any dissatisfaction with her was actually showing dissatisfaction with Kangxi.

After all, the empress dowager has assisted several generations of monarchs, so naturally she would not do such a thing, nor would she let the empress dowager do so.

Just like the empress of filial piety, Dong E, as long as they don't step on their faces and repeatedly toss in front of them, they can bear the nausea, as long as there is no such person, and the status is no different from others. There will be no shortage.

What's more, with the matter of Emperor Shunzhi and Empress Xiaoxian first, the Empress Dowager has a gap in her chest, so she naturally knows what to do, so she won't trip her up behind her back, give her eye drops, and make it impossible for her to get on the stage. thing.

She figured this out and felt a little relieved.

She thought for a while and said, "When the time comes, send a bowl to the wing room."

"Yes."

Liuli hesitated for a while, then said: "I heard from the people around Master Wan Liuha that Master Wan Liuha has been ill for almost half a year."

"No one was invited to see it?"

"Please, no good."

Umalu nodded slightly: "It's almost time for Imperial Physician Wang to ask for pulse, so you can take Imperial Physician Wang to have a look."

"Yes."

Umalu continued to look down at the book.

She is not that grandson monkey, but she can't do everything, but she can help a little bit...

After a few days, Wan Liuha Liuyan got better, so he asked the maid beside him to thank him, and only said a few words to Liuli at the door before leaving.

Liuli was somewhat dissatisfied.

Umalu didn't take it seriously: "She has scruples in her heart, just wait until she thinks about it."

Liu Li sighed while picking up the sundries: "They just rely on their master's good temper to do all these things. Sooner or later, they have to make rules for them."

Umalu knew that she was devoted to herself, and her heart was slightly warm, but she only said: "It's not easy, let them go."

After she said that, Liu Li didn't say much, she just felt that her master's temper was too soft, and as a slave, she had to earn some prestige for her master anyway.

　Fulin has an ambitious and enterprising temperament, but also suffers from impetuous, irritable, willful indulgence.

　　In February of the eighth year of Shunzhi (1651), the empress dowager warned the emperor that "punishing anger and abstaining from playfulness"

　　Later, the monk Mu Chenmin said that he was "difficult to be a dragon", and Ning Xisen said that he was "irritable all his life", and they all agreed.

　　Fulin is self-willed, and will punish anyone who offends his dignity or disagrees with him.

　　In August of the 12th year of Shunzhi (1655), the National Academy of History reviewed Sun Zishi's reality of the corruption of officials, and Shangshu asked himself to be the magistrate of the county, but this violated the principle of officials avoiding the village.In this regard, Fulin took an unexpected action: "I ordered Niuhuang Pills to return home to recuperate the disease."Its treatment of Tuhai, a scholar and minister of the Ministry of punishment, is purely indiscriminate and authoritarian.

　　Fulin's waywardness is also manifested in the fact that he should be punished but not punished.

　　According to the records of Tan Qian, a scholar in the early Qing Dynasty, Fulin once wore the dragon robe of Yishan Guangun worn by the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. He asked the eunuchs how they were doing. He threw the Manchurian hat on the ground behind the mirror, and usually wore a Hanfu with a wide robe and large sleeves.

　　When Li Zai, the younger brother of King Li Hao of Joseon, was sent to the Qing Dynasty, he heard from Jin Ruhui, a Korean who was serving in the Qing Palace, that Fulin "had a special dislike for vulgar customs, admired the Chinese system, secretly made legal clothes, and sometimes used them for the imperial court, but for the imperial court. Afraid of being disobedient, afraid to speak out."

　　Regarding Kangxi’s love of reading: Xuan Ye started to read and write at the age of five. According to the official archives, he said that "the emperor's politics, the sage's mind, and the six classics are all mastered", which is not an overrated statement
　　In addition, Yonghe Palace still has beautiful wisteria trees
