Fourth Lord's Black Moonlight Queen

Chapter 26 Talking About Love?the one that kills

"Lan Qier, Erniang knows that you don't want to marry to Mongolia, and Erniang is 1 reluctant, but what your emperor Ama decides is the imperial decree, it's useless for Erniang...my son..."

Concubine Rong held her daughter's hand and cried so heartbroken that the women in the Forbidden City couldn't help themselves, just like she didn't want to be the emperor's concubine.

Perhaps if there hadn't been the Midnight Banquet, she might have believed that His Majesty had a little affection for her until she died.

Since it was a lie, she would rather be deceived by His Majesty for the rest of her life...

Back then, she and her concubine Wei were admitted into the harem by His Majesty on the same day, and the two humble Xinzheku slaves became the masters of the harem.It caused the fear of many women in the harem.

Looking back on the experiences of these years, she felt that she had lived a big joke.

It's no wonder that after she became a concubine, His Majesty almost exclusively favors her.

Less than a month after she became favored, she was canonized as an honorable person by His Majesty, and within a few years she was also canonized as a concubine.

But the Wei family who was conferred with her was gradually forgotten by His Majesty.

It wasn't until the time when she gave birth to the third prince that Wei Shi barely managed to be a lowly nobleman.

The emperor's sole favor is also a spell to urge death, His Majesty's move is really ruthless, she was killed by His Majesty without knowing it.

Over the years, she has almost endured the resentment of half of the harem, but only one of the five sons survived in the end, and she knows the reason why.

If it wasn't for the fact that the third elder brother broke his leg bone when he was learning to ride and shoot, and then his legs and feet became disabled, and his talent was mediocre since he was a child, he didn't want to go to school, indulge in such elegant things as calligraphy, painting and painting, I'm afraid he wouldn't live to be an adult.

Since the first day of February in the 20th year of Kangxi, after Wei's eighth elder brother Yinhu was born, His Majesty gradually began to neglect her.

Thinking about it now, it was because she, Ma Jia Liuyue, had already blocked all the wind, knives and rain for Wei Shi.

Wei Shi has established a firm foothold in the harem, and no longer needs her as a living target.

"The empress dowager knew that you were going to marry in Mongolia, so she ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare a generous dowry early in the morning, and the princess mansion where you will live in Beijing was also arranged a few months ago."

After the princess gets married, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will choose one of the vacant palaces as the princess mansion according to His Majesty's arrangement.

Or directly allocate funds from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the princess to build the princess mansion, and give it to the princess as a dowry.

The reason why the Empress Dowager was so enthusiastic about Zhang Luolan Qier's marriage was because the future consort came from the Borzigit clan.

The current empress dowager Borzigit's natal family comes from the Horqin tribe of Mongolia.

Borzigit is the successor of Lord Shunzhi, and Lan Qier's marriage was also facilitated by the Queen Mother.

Lan Qier's future son-in-law, Urgon, came from the Mongolian Bahrain tribe of the Borzigit clan.

He is the second son of Ezier, the king of Zhazaketuoluo County, and the grandson of the eldest princess Gu Lun Shuhui.

"Emiang, can my daughter stay in Beijing after marriage?"

The forehead can be divided into two types: stationed in Beijing and accompanied by the banner. The forehead accompanied by some princes is also the leader of the alliance or the banner Zasak, and cannot be stationed in the capital for a long time.

After the full moon of marriage, the princess will return to live in Mongolia with her forehead, which is called Suiqi.

However, His Majesty will still build the princess mansion in the capital, in case the princess returns to Beijing to visit her relatives.

If the prince has no important responsibilities in the territory, he will live with the princess in Beijing for a long time, which is called the forehead in Beijing.

But the mansion is not called the princess mansion but the king's mansion. This is because Mongolia is a vassal department and its status is higher than that of the princess.

However, the imperial court actually treated the Mongolian foreheads far worse than the Manchu ones, and the salary was less than half of that of the Manchu ones.

"Forehead son-in-law has a distinguished status, so naturally you follow the flag."

Although she is a concubine, she still has no way to dominate her daughter's marriage, Concubine Rong took off the veil and wiped her tears secretly.

"Emiang, my daughter is just asking casually, why did you drop the golden beans again!"

Knowing the result, Lan Qi'er was still extremely disappointed, but she still comforted Eniang with a forced smile.

"The empress dowager gave three thousand coat-coated servants as a dowry, and Er Niang also gifted you Aunt Dong and Aunt Fang. They are experienced and will definitely become your right-hand man in managing the backyard."

"In addition, if you have a slave you like, you can also take it away..."

Concubine Rong babbled to Lan Qier for several hours with tears in her eyes, but the helpless Lan Qier could only dodge it with humility...

"Jingui! Pick whatever you like!"

At this time, Lan Qier was sitting on the vermilion sandalwood box that was half the height of a person, gnawing chicken legs.

In front of her are dozens of boxes, large and small, filled with precious jewelry and curios.Silk and satin are piled up into mountains.

"Hey! Dongzhu is as big as a quail egg, it's best to use it to grind powder and apply it to the face!"

Lan Qier casually threw a big brocade box to Li Jingui.

"This was given to me by Huang Ama. The princess born in the first line has no share in marriage! It's cheap for you!"

At this time, Li Jingui was dumbfounded watching the thick marriage process.

The princess's marriage system is cumbersome, including the wedding ceremony, wedding banquet ceremony, post-marriage ceremony, dowry system, post-marital life, post-marital residence, salary system, etc.

The cumbersome process is simply jaw-dropping.

"Lan Qi'er, I've been here with you for the past few days. The fourth elder brother agrees. Come, let me read you the rules of the wedding."

"On the first day of the eighth lunar month, go to the east steps of the Qianqing Gate in the forehead python robe, kneel to the north, and the assistant ministers stand to the west."

"Announcement: Princess Heshuo Rongxian chooses Borzigit Urgon's forehead as a match."

"The slander is ordered, and thanks for the retreat. It was initially determined that Suo Ri will go to the Meridian Gate, and after nine rituals, he will be accepted. There are as many camels and horses, banquets, and sheep wine. The decree will be divided into divisions."

"The next day, the feast of swallows was served, and the son-in-law led the people in the family to pay a visit to the Empress Dowager's Palace. After the ceremony, we gathered in the Palace of Baohe."

"The emperor ascended the throne, and the concubines knelt down three times and worshiped nine times. After the imperial banquet was held, the ministers who entered the ranks knelt down and poured wine, and the emperor received the drink. He also gave wine to the ministers, who knelt down and drank it."

"It's the day's son-in-law's family members who are feasting in the Empress Dowager's palace..."

"Stop! Are you tired from reading?"

Lan Qier covered her ears impatiently.Li Jingui shook his head empathetically, expressing that he was not tired at all, but the words were a bit awkward.

She knows Lan Qier's personality very well, if she doesn't read some magic spells for her, she won't bother to read it.

When she was a child, she often helped Lan Qier write cheat sheets.

"Stop! It's fine if you don't get tired from reading, but I get a headache from listening!"

"By the way, Jingui, this jade bracelet is for you."

Lan Qier put a green jadeite bracelet on Li Jingui's wrist.

"I also have a wedding present for you."

Li Jingui took out a plain brocade box from the baggage he carried with him.

"Open it and have a look, I guess you will like it."

"This is…"

Lan Qi'er took it curiously, opened it, and immediately got wet eyes.

"You... you silly girl!"

What came into view was a set of jade jewelry, a pair of drop-shaped jade earrings, exquisite workmanship, elegant and chic.

There is also a ring made of gold inlaid with jade, the crystal clear blue chalcedony, and the emerald green jadeite are ingeniously polished into the shape of leaves connecting head to tail.

"The Taiye Pond is so deep, how did you find the needle in a haystack to find those pieces of jade?"

Lan Qi'er's eyes were slightly red, and she had obviously guessed the origin of this jewelry.

After returning to the palace that day, the first thing she did was to scatter the fragments of jade hidden in her bosom into the Taiye Pond beside the Xihua Gate in front of everyone.

"I thought that if I didn't fish it, you would order someone to find it one day."

Li Jingui carefully put the pair of jade earrings on for Lan Qier, and then put the gold inlaid jade ring on her left ring finger.

"The jade pendant was too broken, so I can only find someone to make these two pieces of jewelry."

"This ring is made of sea-blue blue chalcedony and fragments of Zhang Tingyu's broken jade carved into twigs. The gap in the middle is connected by filigree. The top is pinched with gold wire."

"I named this ring, it's called Qing Bi Jin Jian."

"I don't know if you like it or not..."

Li Jingui looked at Lan Qier with some anxiety.

"Thank you, Jingui, I like it very much!"

Lan Qier sniffed, holding back the sour tears, and put the faded ring back on her ring finger.

"Jing Gui, Ulanara Suxian's father, Fei Yanggu, the admiral of the Nine Gates, was reported by the Metropolitan Procuratorate yesterday for malfeasance and corruption."

"Early this morning, the Metropolitan Procuratorate reported Fei Yanggu's slavery and murder of a good daughter."

"Huang Ama was furious and ordered the Criminal Department to thoroughly investigate the matter. No matter whether Fei Yanggu was negligent or corrupt, the evidence of the slaves in his mansion forcing people to death is convincing. The marriage between the fourth brother and Ulanara's family will definitely fail!"

"Where should I put Lan Qier's make-up dowry?"

Li Jingui didn't want to respond to this matter, so he talked about him from left to right.

"Your father is really a good method!"

Lan Qier didn't continue the topic, but only spoke quietly.

"But you can hide from the first day of the new year but not the fifteenth day. Could it be that every time Huang Ama bestows a marriage, can your father use this extreme method to resolve it?"

"The man who spends your whole life with you may not be the love of your life, but it must be the best match for you. Yinzhen is not your match!"

"Leaving the Forbidden City with me before you get stuck in the mud! Dragging the formula can't solve the problem. Yinzhen and I are the same. Sadly, we can't control our own destiny. The person who chokes our fate is Huang Ama. .”

"You should think about it..."

"The most worthless thing in the Forbidden City is the lives of slaves."

"Don't just talk about life-threatening feelings. If Huang Ama knows that Yinzhen wants to marry a court lady as Sifu Jin, she will definitely turn her anger on him, and you will definitely be bestowed to death by Huang Ama."

"When the love you choose has already hurt the person you love the most, is this kind of love still correct?"

Lan Qiren raised his voice and shouted towards the corridor not far away.Her throat was smoky when she said it, I hope that kid can let Li Jingui go.

"I promise you…"

"Really?"

Lan Qier rushed to Li Jingui with beaming eyebrows.But Yinzhen, who was hiding in the corridor, felt his eyes darkened, and almost fell when he was precarious.

"Let's go..."

With a cold tone and no ups and downs in his voice, he said to Su Peisheng who was supporting him...

"Lan Qier, didn't you wipe your hands clean just now when you ate the chicken drumsticks! Look at the oil stains all over my clothes!"

"I haven't finished my sentence yet! Why are you so anxious?"

"I promise you, I will take good care of myself. Wherever my grandfather is, that's my home."

"Oops, bad..."

Lan Qi'er raised his forehead, Auntie, you didn't finish your sentence, but that brat hiding in the dark left after hearing half of it. This is really a beautiful misunderstanding.

"What's wrong?"
