The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 543 Selection
Yanhua never thought about it before, she was trying to persuade Yinzhen to divert the grief in her heart, but she didn't want him to ask Shisan to investigate the matter, but it turned out that it was Hongli's head.If she knew that things would turn out like this, she would never draw Yinzhen's attention in that direction.

After she came out of Ganxi No. [-] Institute, she went straight to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to announce the good news.

At that time Yinzhen was contemplating, holding a small letter from Yanhua in his hand.He was wondering if he should doubt her.

A few days ago, because of the matter of the old eight and the ninth, he once had the idea of ​​doubting her.Because it was Qian Gui who killed the old eight and the ninth by poisoning.And Qian Gui has been serving her in Jingren Palace all the time, if it is said that what Qian Gui did was not ordered by her, it is really unconvincing.

But then he thought about what Qian Gui said about "repaying kindness", and even more about the incident of Yanhua vomiting blood, and the suspicion that had just arisen in his heart disappeared instantly.

At this moment, he was thinking, since he was unwilling to doubt her last time, why should he doubt her this time?

So he took out Yanhua's notebook and read it. Although it was not written in every detail, he could see her eyes that could speak and the deep love in her smile from between the lines.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xi is here." Su Peisheng's voice woke him up from his contemplation.

He raised his head and put the small letter in his hand on the dragon case, his cold face softened slowly: "Biography."

"Hey! Your majesty, the empress is here to announce the good news. The second Ganxi Institute has just received news that Gege Fucha has given birth to a little elder brother."

Yinzhen slowly curled the corners of his mouth, and nodded in relief: "Well, good."

After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath, and after glancing at the small note in his hand, he saw that the corners of his mouth were drawn wider.He, of course, doesn't want to doubt his Chanchan anymore. After working together for so many years, if he doubts even the most intimate person, he will be really lonely in the days to come...

In June, the weather began to be hot. Fuhui was weak and sick all year round, and his body was afraid of cold and heat. Yinzhen ordered him to go to Yuanmingyuan to escape the summer heat.The mountains and clear waters in the Yuanmingyuan are much clearer than those in the imperial palace.

Since the selection of beautiful girls will start in early August, and Yanhua is now acting as the commander of the Sixth Palace, the Ministry of Internal Affairs handed over signs to see Yanhua several times.As a result, the number of people entering and leaving Jingren Palace suddenly increased.Because the ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are not allowed to enter the harem, the discussions between Yanhua and them are all conducted through the eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

She didn't know that there were many eunuchs of various colors in and out of Jingren Palace, and gossip started in the harem at some point.On the night of the Lantern Festival in the Imperial Garden at the beginning of the year, more than one person had heard Song's crazy talk about Concubine Xi "stealing a man". Now, combined with the fact that there are always different eunuchs coming and going in and out of Jingren Palace, the gossip has gradually changed.

However, the rules in the palace are strict, and the palace people only chat with people they know well in private, but no one dares to chat outside.However, although this rumor spread slowly, it will eventually reach the ears of Jingren Palace one day.

This wind blows very slowly and is very small, but it is like an undercurrent lurking in the river, and there will always be a day when there will be a huge wave.

The weather in July was extremely hot, and a few small things happened in the harem.

One is the Song family who was thrown into the cold palace. She came out of nowhere twice, and when she saw people, she would go crazy and say that Concubine Xi harmed her, that Concubine Xi was a seductive seductress.Fortunately, the eunuchs who were inspecting the harem caught her right away, and carefully inspected the rooms near the clean room. They didn't know where she got out from, and finally nothing happened.

The second is that Su promised to have a good time under the title of Concubine Xi for a while, but this year he was particularly unpopular, and he never went to bed once.She spent a lot of money trying to buy off the eunuchs in the respect room, and wanted them to put her brand name on the front so that the emperor could see it.It's not uncommon for this kind of bribery of the eunuch in the respect room, but what Su promised to do got out of the way, and the emperor got angry when he found out.As a result, the eunuch who took the money was killed, while Su promised to be completely ignored.

The third is that Guo promised to take another bed in June, and then he was very lucky to be pregnant with the dragon species.

These three things made the already hot summer day extremely lively.

As for Yanhua, because she has been busy with the Ministry of Internal Affairs arranging the selection of beautiful women in the imperial garden, she has no time to respond to the criticisms of the palace people.Of course, she didn't know what they were talking about, but she was very relieved that Guo Xu was pregnant with the dragon species, and told Shao Yao many times in her busy schedule, asking someone to take good care of Guo Xu.

Xiaoxiao is one year older than Fuhui. After Fuhui was sent to Yuanmingyuan to escape the summer heat, the two children often played together.

Xiaoxiao was held in the palm of the queen's hand since she was a child, and only eunuchs and court ladies played with her, while Fuhui lost her mother since she was a child, and grew up alone until she was eight years old. After all, the nature of a child is quickly familiarized.

At the beginning of August, I don't know if Fuhui was too tired from playing, and she kept humming non-stop when she was sleeping at night.The next day, when the imperial physician was seeing Fu Hui, he realized that he had suffered from heatstroke.

Fuhui's frailty was brought out from his mother's womb, so he grew up in a medicine jar since he was a child.For that bit of heat, he naturally didn't care about it.Masters come to teach him how to read and write every day in Shangshufang, but because of his body, it is enough for the masters to teach him three hours a day, and when he is unwell, the teaching time is even shorter.

And he spent the rest of the time playing with his sister Huang.

The nanny once advised him to have a good rest and not to be playful.But when this word reached the Queen's ears, the taste changed. She thought that the nanny was accusing and laughing secretly, so she said displeasedly: "It's the nature of children to be playful."

Therefore, whenever Xiaoxiao and Fuhui play together again later, the nanny dare not say anything more.

On the fifth day of August, the selection of the best girls began in the Imperial Garden as scheduled.

At dawn that day, the beautiful women selected by each banner were sent to Shenwumen by mule cart.The Imperial Garden is close to the Shenwu Gate, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs arranged to select it here to save the emperor's time. The selection for the third year of Yongzheng was also here.

On the first day, she selected the beautiful women from the Zhenghuang and Xianghuang banners in the upper three banners. Yanhua thought that the selection was just sitting there and laughing at the beauties of the banners. Just put down the sign.It wasn't until she really accompanied Yinzhen to the selection, that she realized that there was so much care in the selection of beautiful girls.

For example, every time the eunuch sang out the banner of the beautiful girl, her father's official position, and her father's life, etc., Yinzhen had to look carefully at the roster prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Some of them have acceptable appearances and ages, and when Yanhua thinks they are not bad, Yinzhen doesn't speak a word.Afterwards, she found out that he needs to consider how many people are selected by each banner. There must not be too many beautiful women selected by one banner, and not too few selected by another banner.

When she participated in the talent show before, she only knew that the emperor would only choose based on personal preferences, but now she realizes that it is not that simple.

Not only that, every time the court ladies retire, he would ponder over which province's governor's son, which university scholar's son, etc., are at the right age for marriage, and which ones he thinks have been left behind? The showgirls of the brand are fit to be pointed to them...

After the first day of reading, Yanhua was so tired that her back ached.Because every time there are beautiful girls in the audience, she always has to put on a good posture, put on a suitable smile, or make people prepare to splash water and let the cats go, so as to see how the beautiful girls behave, which takes a lot of effort and energy.

As soon as the optional reading was over, Yinzhen went back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to handle matters. There were still a lot of unapproved papers, and several ministers handed over signs to see him.

Yanhua saw that there was no tired look on his face, but her heart suddenly ached.He must have been so tired for a long time, so that he is used to it now.

As soon as she returned to Jingren Palace, she asked someone to prepare Yinzhen's favorite soup. She even made a fish soup herself, and only waited for Yinzhen to come over to have a meal when he was done.

But he was so busy that he was so busy that he didn't finish until almost sunset.

When Yan Hua waited until she was already hungry, he finally came over on the imperial chariot.

At the end of the day, she fully understood his hard work. When eating together, she nodded in response to what he said, and even offered to feed him soup, serving him with a smile in his eyes all the time.

After eating, he went back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and he wanted to bring Yanhua back with him.Yanhua originally thought that he was too tired these days and shouldn't indulge in sex at night, so she didn't want to agree.But when she saw the expectation in his eyes, she couldn't bear to dismiss his meaning, so she nodded.

When she accompanied him back, she realized that he still had a lot of things to do.

She herself was very tired, Yinzhen repeatedly asked her to lie down in the East Nuan Pavilion, and asked Shaoyao to rub her shoulders and back, but she insisted on refusing to go in.

Fortunately, when he was so busy, he still cared about whether she was tired or not.

"With you by my side, I won't be tired anymore." Yinzhen said with a smile, seeing that she insisted on not going in to rest first, he asked someone to bring a chair for her to sit beside.

She held a round fan beside him and gently fanned him, her eyes were full of love and compassion: "I have never heard of an emperor as poor as Zhenlang, how can he be so busy every day? The emperor is a mortal after all." How can the flesh endure in the long run?"

"So, shouldn't you stop disobeying me in the future?" He chuckled indifferently, and took time to glance at her.

Yan Hua's nose was sore, she nodded slowly: "No, in the future, what Zhen Lang says will be whatever, I will listen to it."

Hearing this, he raised his brows, took out a piece of white paper from the desk and put it on the dragon case in front of her, then handed her a pen.Seeing her doubts, he said loudly: "Chanchan, why don't you write it down and draw a bet, so that you won't regret it in the future."

Yanhua couldn't laugh or cry immediately, she just shook her head helplessly, and seriously wrote a paragraph and drew a bet.
