The upgrade of Concubine Xian in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 202 Gossip behind the rockery
Just after the Laba Chou, the gate of the Old Summer Palace opened, and the carriages of officials and family members stopped at the entrance. The capital city was bustling with activity. It was snowing heavily in the suburbs of Beijing. Every temple should be full of incense, but this year it was unusual. deserted.

This year, the royal concubines folded all the donated silver taels into the disaster relief funds, and many officials and family members watched and followed suit.

This year, all the sesame oil money was sent to the victims. Yongzheng and several princes worked together to calculate, and found that the amount of sesame oil money invested by the female family members for disaster relief is still very large. The treasury saves a lot.

After many people learned about it, they all felt that the noble ladies are kind-hearted.

In the garden, the concubines often talked about this incident, thinking that the queen wanted to offend the Buddha in order to gain a good reputation.

Zarafin led the servants to go to the queen's courtyard, and when they passed the garden, they heard whispered discussions.

The rockery just blocked her view, so she couldn't see who was talking.

"Master, servants are going to arrest people." Tortoise shell heard those servants even mentioned Zarafin.

Judging from the sound, it should be that some servants were not on duty and were gossiping in the courtyard. Zarafin came to the queen. The servants were a little respectful on the surface, and they would often talk in private.

"No need, you can't refute what those people said, and you didn't name them!" Zarafin shook his head.

Under the guidance of the queen and Hongli, she has learned how to block these unkind remarks.

"Jiaojiao, why are you here?" Hongli just came out of the study, ready to look for her, when passing by the garden, he watched the little guy in a daze from a distance.

Before she could speak, the voice from the other side of the rockery sounded again, and Hongli smiled coldly.

"Gao Wuyong, go deal with those slaves, send them directly to the Kyushu Qingyan, and slander Er Niang's slaves, what's the use of keeping them?" Hongli ordered.

The other side of the rockery blocked it, and the servants didn't pay attention to Zarafin at all. Hongli lowered his voice to speak, but the servants over there didn't hear it.

Gao Wuyong waved his hand, several guards went around the rockery and detained the gossiping minions.

The two walked into the gazebo one after the other, and after sitting down, Hongli looked at her.

"How many times have you encountered similar situations?" Hongli looked at Zarafin and asked.

"This is the first time." Zarafin had just finished speaking, when Hongli gave her a look, and she changed her words instantly: "It's been two or three times."

Tortoiseshell came up with tea, and just wanted to avoid it, but was caught by Hongli's eyes.

"Hortoise, tell me." Hongli saw that tortoise was kneeling on the ground, holding tea, he dared not speak at all, and kept looking in Zarafin's direction, "Don't look at your master, tell the truth."

"Ah, you just treat it as the first time, wouldn't it be better?" Zarafin didn't want to talk nonsense.

"Jiaojiao, you have to report when you encounter a slave who has no rules." Hongli looked at her distressedly, "Before Khan Ama came to the throne, Erniang and I taught you that you met a family from the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the garden. The servants of yours talk small words, and you have to avoid them when you encounter them, because you are worried that they will trip you up. Now, we don’t have to be afraid, and when we encounter such a situation, we can deal with it directly.”

Zarafin nodded obediently, and Fuchani Chuhe had often bribed the aristocratic family of the House of Internal Affairs to let them often find her unhappy in the garden.

"Gao Wuyong, Bayan, bring all those servants here!" Hongli looked at the rockery and gave orders loudly.

After a while, six third-class court ladies in pink uniforms appeared in the sight of everyone. Hongli looked at the leader and frowned slightly. He knew this person.

The few servants were not afraid at all, the corner of the head servant's mouth raised slightly, and Zarafin was not in his eyes.

This court lady was served by Xipin's courtyard. If Hongli punished her too severely, even the censors would wonder whether Hongli was too filial.

If he let it go, it is obvious that he is not the queen, but is biased towards his own mother.

No matter what Hongli did, it was wrong.

"Ah Hun, let's go find uncle." Zarafin was very smart, and found that Hongli's eyes flashed a look of embarrassment, and even this servant was either from the Queen's Courtyard or Xipin's Courtyard.

Zarafin glanced at Bayan, before the servants begged for mercy, they were stuffed with silk handkerchiefs by his men, they couldn't even utter a word, they could only make a whining sound.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Hongli felt that Zarafin and his mind were connected.

The two of them took these slaves and walked to Wanfang Anhe. Today, Yongzheng went to Wanfang Anhe to discuss the New Year with the Queen.

Su Peisheng received the news sent by Gao Wuyong, he didn't dare to delay, and hurried into the hall.

"He's in a panic! Not calm at all." Yongzheng glared at Su Peisheng angrily.

Without saying a word, Su Peisheng knelt in the hall and told what happened to Hongli and Zarafin.

The queen heard it, and a trace of a smile flashed across her eyes. At first, they had wronged Zarafin and had to let the little guy back down a step. Now, when encountering similar things, they actually have to back down, which is detrimental. Their faces are gone.

"Jiaojiao is wronged. Use this time to let her stand out. After the draft, the Fucha family will marry Hongli as the next Fujin, and Jiaojiao's status will be embarrassing." Yongzheng felt a little regretful and had to Let Zarafin commit herself to the position of Fujin, "Let her stand up in front of the slaves first, so that she can not be bullied."

Recently, a lot of news about Fucha Nichuhe was sent to the imperial court. Yongzheng discovered the news and wrote some recent news about Nichuhe. After the draft, Nichuhe's friends alienated her and did not want to be with her again There's something wrong with it.

Hongli and Zarafen came all the way, and many slaves saw that Hongli let the guards arrest him, and all the servants who saw them went to send news to their masters.

The two arrived at Wanfang Anhe one after the other, and walked into the courtyard, Zarafin was still a little nervous.

After the two saluted, Hongli and Zarafin sat down beside them.

"Jiaojiao, it's up to you to handle this matter." Yongzheng said directly.

Zarafin looked at them in surprise, she pointed to herself, and kept looking towards Yongzheng and the queen.

"Your uncle is right, so you must build up your prestige." A smile appeared on Zarafin's face.

Zarafin showed helplessness on his face, and Hongli even showed encouraging eyes.

"Jiaojiao, we are by your side." Hongli patted Zarafin's little hand and said.

Zarafin took a deep breath and looked at the courtyard outside, where all the servants and servants were crushed inside.

The servants of the Punishment Department waited at the side, waiting for the order from the master in the hall.
