Kangxi Harem Ⅰ: Green Years

Chapter 39 (Fifteen) The Capital Earthquake Re-Establishes the Western Calendar
[The earthquake in the capital shocked the king's heart, the Western calendar is not a heresy;]

[Revise the legislation to absorb the advanced, and the holy ancestors began to use Westerners. 】

The emperor withdrew his power and worked harder to govern. He read books and memorials every day until very late. In the harem, the emperor never went to Concubine Zhao's place again, and the Empress Dowager also spared Concubine Zhao's daily greetings and let her have a good rest. , so Gai Ronger is not aware of Concubine Zhao's current situation, but Xiaoqing heard that Concubine Zhao loses her temper every day in the palace, and it all depends on Huigui's persuasion. It's really not easy for the concubine.

In the blink of an eye, it was September, and today Gai Ronger was accompanying the queen in the queen's bedroom, and she took a look at Chengrui, the queen's belly was getting bigger and bigger, the imperial doctor said that the estimated delivery date was three months away, According to the rules of the palace, if the empress gave birth to an heir, Empress Chengrui would not be able to take care of her any more, and Chengrui might be taken to Nansan Sanyuan to be taken care of by a special person. Thinking of this, Gai Ronger was still quite sore. , I'm afraid it will be difficult to see my son next time.

Gai Rong'er was chatting with the queen when he suddenly saw the house shake and the ground trembled, at this moment a court lady shouted: "It's not good, the ground is moving." Hearing the earthquake, Rong'er hurriedly picked up Cheng Rui and came to help him Follow the queen out.

I stood outside the house for a while, and saw that the vibration was getting smaller and smaller, and the ground returned to calm after a while. At this time, everyone in Kunning Palace was standing outside, and Cheng Rui kept crying in Rong'er's arms. Rong'er patted Cheng Rui, and looked to see if the queen beside her was in good health: "Sister, how are you?"

The queen nodded: "It's nothing, why did the ground move so well."

Gai Rong'er watched from a distance as Zhang Leqi carried Princess Kehui and Yin Ruolan back to her room, and she didn't know if it would be shocking or not, the queen must not make any mistakes.

They stood outside the courtyard for a long time, then they saw the emperor coming to Kunning Palace, saw them standing outside the house and walked over and said: "I just went to see the emperor's grandmother and the queen mother, they are all fine, and I came to see Rui'er and you Is there anything wrong.

The queen replied: "It's all very good here, too."

Xuan Ye nodded and said: "It seems that the shock is gone, let's go into the hall to talk." He took Cheng Rui from Gai Rong'er and carried him to the Queen's East Nuan Pavilion, saying while walking: " Rui'er scared me, Rui'er is good, Huang Ama hugged her."

Chengrui's second birthday is a few days away, the little guy is so smart that he can already speak simple vocabulary, and so can Ama and Erniang.Xuan Ye hugged him, and the little guy stopped crying, and kept screaming "Ama."

Gai Rong'er laughed and said: "Rui'er is still kissing the emperor, the concubine coaxed me for a long time and kept crying."

Xuan Ye smiled and said: "Of course, Rui'er is my son, who else will I kiss if I don't?"

Entering the Nuan Pavilion, everyone sat down, Rong'er took Chengrui over, and Xuan Ye said: "A few years ago, Tang Ruowang, a Westerner, showed the new calendar to the late emperor, and was appreciated by the late emperor, and ordered him to repair the calendar. , against the Western theory, planned to arrest him and Nan Huairen and others and sentenced him to death. Later, the Qing Dynasty worked with the Western and Hui people to predict the time of the solar eclipse with their own methods. As a result, Tang Ruowang, Nan Huairen and others used the Western calendar to predict It is the most accurate. But Oboi is even more guilty. The Empress Grandmother specially ordered her to be released, but she has not been reused. Today's earthquake, I think it is just as good as it is, but Tang Gong has passed away."

The queen and Gai Rong'er listened, they didn't know much about the calendar, so they just listened patiently.Xuan Ye smiled and said: "Fortunately, there is Nan Huairen, a Westerner, I will use him more." Looking at the expressions of the Queen and Rong'er, he shook his head and said, "Hehe, it seems that I am talking for nothing. Rong'er doesn't seem to understand."

Rong'er hurriedly replied, "How come, the emperor is willing to talk about this with the queen and Rong'er, we are too happy, we all love to hear it."

The empress echoed with a smile: "Yes, the emperor thinks highly of us when he tells us."

Xuan Xuan smiled and said: "You will pick up what I like and say, well, the imperial grandmother has a decree, let me go to Zhongcui Palace to see, I will go there first, and the queen should be careful."

After the earthquake, the emperor rehabilitated Tang Ruowang, Nan Huairen and others, and reused Nan Huairen, and ordered him to be the supervisor of the Qintian Supervisor and continue to practice the calendar.

In November, the restoration work of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the Palace of Qianqing was completed. The emperor was congratulated by his courtiers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. On the day the emperor moved into the Palace of Qianqing, he still flipped Gai Ronger's card. Gai Ronger of the Palace of Qianqing was also the first One time, the Qianqing Palace was the residence of the former emperor. The newly renovated Qianqing Palace is even more magnificent and imposing than the Baohe Palace. Xuanye still lives in the East Nuan Pavilion.Rong'er found that Aunt Cheng was no longer among the maids serving, and the new aunt in charge turned out to be Aunt Ning who Rong'er had mentioned to the emperor and treated them very well when they first entered the palace.

Rong'er entered the East Nuan Pavilion, and the emperor was already in the house. Seeing Rong'er coming in, he asked everyone to retreat, hugged Gai Rong'er happily and said: "Rong'er, what I said has come true, I am living in this Qianqing Palace Take back the power of the government before."

"Rong'er said earlier, the emperor will definitely succeed." Gai Rong'er replied with a smile.

"Yes, Rong'er, I have done what I said. I will take back my power and live in this palace. I am worthy of my ancestors. Otherwise, even if I live in here, I will not be able to sleep well." Xuan Xuan shook his head and smiled wryly.Then he stared at Gai Rong'er and said, "Rong'er, thank you for always supporting me and trusting me."

"This is what a concubine should do." Gai Rong'er replied with a smile, then looked at the emperor hesitantly, and asked: "Your Majesty, Rong'er has something to ask."

"Oh, just ask Rong'er if you have anything to say." Xuan Xuan saw Rong'er's expression strange.

"Your Majesty, the Empress may give birth next month. If she gives birth to a prince, what will Chengrui do?" Gai Ronger raised her eyes and asked worriedly.

Xuan Ye smiled and said: "Oh, why should I worry about Rong'er, Rong'er don't worry, I have already thought about it, if the queen gives birth to a prince, then Rui'er will ask the emperor's grandmother to raise him, so that Rong'er will be raised every day. Say hello every day, and then you can see Rui Er."

"Then... can the empress dowager agree?" Rong'er asked worriedly.

"I have already agreed, heh, Rong'er, Rui'er is the child of you and me, of course I will remember these things, I have already told the emperor's grandmother, the old ancestor has already agreed." Xuan Ye smiled and patted Gai Rong. In the back of his son's heart, he said: "Don't worry, I won't lose you mother and son. By the way, I will regain the imperial power. I will reward those who deserve rewards. Mingzhu and Suo'etu have been promoted to their positions because of their merits. My son has meritorious service, and I want to reward him."

"How dare Rong'er ask for a reward for his meritorious service." Hearing that Empress Dowager Chengrui agreed to take care of her, Rong'er was very happy and smiled all over his face.

Xuan Ye smiled and said: "Of course Rong'er has merit. One of Rong'er's merits is to accompany me, support me, understand me, and encourage me; Rong'er's second merit is to give birth to a prince for me. Adding up the two merits, we must reward."

Gai Rong'er listened and asked amusedly: "Then how does the emperor plan to reward Rong'er?"

Xuan Ye smiled and said: "I have already thought about it, and tomorrow I will let the Ministry of Internal Affairs draw up an imperial edict, and Jin will make Rong'er permanent."

Gai Rong'er pursed his lips and smiled: "Rong'er doesn't care about the title, since the emperor is kind, then Rong'er will thank you."

"Rong'er, this is not the only thing I want to reward you with, but it will take Rong'er to spend his whole life slowly begging with me." Xuan Ye looked at Gai Rong'er and said softly.

On the second day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs issued an edict that Gai Rong'er was promoted to the resident, and at the same time enjoyed the monthly salary of the resident. According to the rules, there are three maids on the resident salary, so at the same time, Qiaoyun, a new maid who entered the palace last year, was sent at the same time.
