The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 440
"The eighth brother is really messing around! Hey, the fourth brother is now the emperor, and he is so defiant. I'm afraid he won't be able to escape this time." The eighth master anxiously wandered around the mansion, his handsome face was already wrinkled. group.

"I see that every time he mentions the emperor, he is still full of disrespectful words, and he doesn't listen to reminding him. I think he will suffer disaster sooner or later. It's just a matter of time. Just do what the starling should do. The current plan is to protect yourself Let's protect ourselves. The emperor is eager to break up our brothers now, hmph, no one can see this thought. If there is no ghost in his heart, why are we so afraid of us?" Lao Jiu sneered, The beauty mole between the eyebrows trembled accordingly, making his handsome face look like a poisonous poppy flower, enchanting and making people unable to take their eyes off it.

"By the way, Ninth Brother, when did you leave for Xining? You really got the imperial decree to come back this time?" Eighth Master reconfirmed with him worriedly.Lao Jiu has been sent by the emperor to replace the [-]th to garrison Xining, but the military power has actually been handed over to Nian Gengyao, and Lao Jiu's departure is nothing but a fake.

Lao Jiu turned his eyes away uncomfortably, and said with little confidence: "I have handed the booklet to the emperor a long time ago, and I want to go back to Beijing to pick up things." When he left Beijing, Ah Li refused to go with him, so he went Not long after, he folded back again, thinking that this time he would definitely bring Ah Li with him.

Ba Ye supported his forehead and pulled him up from the chair with a headache: "Why don't you let me worry, go back to the house and pack up, it's best to leave Beijing as soon as possible! Now that he has become the emperor, we are one step closer , I’m afraid you will be smashed to pieces! You, you were so nonsense back then, if you were not careful, wouldn’t you..."

"Why are you so afraid? Didn't he make you Prince Lian? It's too late to flatter you, so how can you be crushed? Besides, my mother-in-law is the former emperor's concubine Yi, and we are all Huang Ama As for his son, no matter how powerful he is, can he still do such a thing as murdering his brother? Huang Ama saves money and values ​​family affection more than anything. If he dares to do such a thing, I am afraid that he will be ashamed of the late emperor." Lao Jiu said indifferently He cast a glance at Prince Lian, until now, he is still not convinced, why did Yinzhen sit on the throne!

"Prince Lian... Hehe, it's so easy for you to be this prince? Also, I'm afraid your mother-in-law will not be able to protect herself! You don't want to rely on her for everything, it's not what it used to be! Have you seen the emperor canonize her as a concubine?" When I was a concubine, didn't you mention your mother at all? Did you know that the emperor was already angry with your mother when he was guarding Huang Ama's spirit? If you continue to act recklessly like this, what should you do?" Eighth Master hates iron but not steel He gave Lao Jiu a serious look, and now he only hoped that his brothers could see the situation clearly, so don't let him worry about it anymore.

"Why is he angry with my mother?" Lao Jiu had been lying on his back in the chair. Hearing this, he corrected his sitting posture and put away his cynical expression.

Ba Ye sighed heavily: "I was thinking that maybe you didn't pay attention, so it turned out that you didn't worry about it. When I guarded the late emperor's spirit on the first day, the concubine De concubine hadn't stepped forward to worship the late emperor. Your forehead Niang rushed up the first one. Hey, didn't you notice how ugly the emperor's face was?"

"Hmph, I wondered why he didn't confer on my mother-in-law, could it be because of this?" Lao Jiu snorted a few times, and was silent for a while in displeasure. Finally, under the urging of the eighth master, he hurried back to the house to pack his things and set off again. Heading to Xining...

In mid-April, Lao Shi was arrested and returned to Beijing. Yinzhen asked Ba Ye to discuss the crime with Lao Shi. After Ba Ye judged Lao Shi's crime of deceiving the king according to the rules of his ancestors, he still couldn't help pleading for mercy.Yinzhen ignored him, seized the title of the old ten and imprisoned him.

Yinzhen acted decisively this time, ignoring the empress dowager's plea.He directly handed over the transfer of the first emperor Zigong to Jingling for burial.As a result, Fourteen had to leave Beijing.

The few princes who supported Ba Ye back then were all separated, and there was no possibility of causing trouble for a while.

Not long after Sisi left Beijing, the empress dowager became ill from depression and couldn't even get down to the ground.

Yinzhen knew that she was thinking about Shishi in her heart, but when she was trying to deceive him to let Shishi return to Beijing, she only ordered the imperial physician to try her best to treat him, and turned a deaf ear to the empress dowager's words of thinking about Shishi all day long.However, the Empress Dowager's illness became more and more serious day by day, and she did not see any improvement.

At the end of April, the Shang Study Room was completed, and Hongli and Hongri entered the Shang Study Room to study. Although Hong Shi was nineteen years old, Yin Zhen asked him to go to the Shang Study Room to study every morning.Hongshi was very dissatisfied with this arrangement, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only hold his sulk in his stomach.And since Hongli failed to help him fool Yinzhen last time, he has had some opinions on Hongli, so that when he was studying, every time he heard his master praise Hongli, he couldn't help but sneer.

For all this, Yan Hua and Li Shi didn't know about it.

On the fifth day of May, Concubine Nian's delivery date is approaching. Yinzhen prayed for her, and invited the masters of Xiuyun Temple to perform a ritual ceremony in the palace, so that Concubine Nian and the baby in her belly will be safe and healthy.This move was done normally and did not cause any big disturbances, but after Nian Gengyao heard about it, he was still grateful and thanked Yinzhen many times in private.

After praying, the empress called Yanhua to Yongshou Palace, the expression on her face was quite thought-provoking, Yanhua didn't know what happened.

Ever since the empress dowager talked about raising her elder brother with the empress, she had the problem of soft ears again. After thinking about it for more than three months, she still couldn't forget what the empress dowager said. Put the thought in the bottom of my heart.

So, on this day, she called Concubine Xi to find out what she said.

When Yanhua arrived at Yongshou Palace, the queen was teasing a puppy with Xiaoxiao in her arms, making Xiaoxiao giggle all the time.When Yanhua greeted her yesterday, she brought Xiaoxiao over. It was too late, and the empress left the child in Yongshou Palace overnight, so Yanhua came over today, intending to take Xiaoxiao back by the way.

"Er Niang, Er Niang! Look, Huang Er Niang has a Shih Tzu dog!" When Xiao Xiao saw Yan Hua, he smiled and pulled her to look at the puppy.The Shih Tzu has long and slender hair. In order to make the dog laugh, the Queen specially asked people to comb two small braids for the Shih Tzu. Matched with its pair of innocent eyes, it is really gratifying.

The queen chatted with Yanhua for a while, but she still couldn't say anything about asking Hongli to be raised in her palace.After all, Hongli has always been close to his biological mother, and now that he has grown up so much, it would be quite abrupt to come over all of a sudden.Even if he wanted to come, Hongli would only come to her palace to congratulate her during the New Year and holidays in the future, which would not increase his relationship much.

The queen hesitated endlessly in her heart, and did not speak out for a long time.Seeing that Yan Hua was about to leave with a smile, Mu Jin came out at this moment.

After Hibiscus was scalded, she never appeared in front of everyone, Yanhua couldn't help trembling slightly when she saw her.Hibiscus's left cheek starts from the cheek and goes down the neck, covered with pitted scars left after being scalded by boiling water, the flesh is red like long worms, clinging to her cheek and neck, Yanhua is shocked at first glance I got goosebumps all over my body.

It turned out that her burns were so severe!
Although Yan Hua's face was calm as usual, a trace of shock still flashed in her eyes.

Mu Jin intentionally turned her body to the left, blocking her left cheek from Yan Hua's sight, and then she wished her a blessing: "Concubine Xi is auspicious, I have something I want to say to your mother, may I borrow a step?"

Yanhua glanced at her in confusion, then turned her head to see the Queen holding Xiaoxiao in her arms to tease the Shih Tzu, she nodded, and walked aside with her.

"Is the wound all healed? This scar... can the imperial doctor take a look at it? Let the imperial doctor make some plaster to remove the scar and rub it on. The scar should gradually fade away." Yan Hua asked with concern, seeing her With this appearance, Yanhua felt that the fact that Concubine Yu was punished to kneel down was really unjustifiable.The queen didn't follow to make things difficult for Concubine Yu at that time, she already had a heart of kindness.

"Thank you, my lady, for your concern. The empress said that she will tell the emperor in the next few days. In the future, I will let my servant cover her veil so as not to scare the ladies." Mu Jin subconsciously touched her left cheek, even if she didn't look in the mirror, she could touch those The inexplicably protruding strips of meat trembled slightly, and then quickly put down their hands.Which woman does not love beauty, but she has bad luck to meet such a thing.

Fortunately, she has followed the queen to chant scriptures and Buddha for so many years, and she has seen a lot about this body's appearance.

Yanhua nodded and didn't speak again.She admires Mu Jin very much. She holds an important position but never bullies the weak, nor is she selfish.Ever since she entered Yinzhen's mansion, she hadn't seen Mu Jin do anything beyond the rules - except that during the days when she had an accident, she hugged Wei Chang'an and cried in private.

"Mistress, according to the rules in the palace, brothers should be raised by other mistresses after they are born." Mu Jin didn't mince words with her, and after exchanging greetings, she directly said what the queen couldn't say.

When Yanhua heard this, her heart trembled, and she raised her signature smirk when she was nervous: "What does Mujin mean by saying this? The imperial concubine is about to give birth, you mean, the imperial concubine's child needs to be sent To be raised in a palace other than Yikun Palace? Or... Fuhui has been raised in Yikun Palace since entering the palace, this is really unreasonable."

Mu Jin opened her mouth slightly in surprise, but she didn't think of Concubine Nian's elder brother.Now that Yanhua mentioned it, she could only shake her head and deny it: "Your Majesty, this servant refers to the fourth elder brother."

Yan Hua had long since taken advantage of the moment when she was surprised, to adjust the turmoil in her heart.She smiled faintly, blinked her clear eyes and said puzzledly: "Hongli has always lived in Elder Brother's residence, and was not brought up in Jingren Palace. It is my luck that I was able to raise him personally in the Palace for many years. .If he was born in this harem, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get so close to him."

Mu Jin stared at Yanhua for a while with calm eyes, and finally frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about letting the empress empress take care of the fourth elder brother in the future?"

Mu Jin's question was neither serious nor serious, but these words struck Yanhua's ears like a bell, and she couldn't recover from the shock for a long time.
