Chapter 554: Blood Relatives (Part II)
is also a palace concubine, but Concubine Yi has a stable surname without Concubine De.
When she returned to her residence, she couldn't sit still, and she only felt like a hundred claws scratching her heart. She was born with a strong surname, and now in the harem, she is not only in charge of palace affairs with Concubine De, but also because of the favor of the Queen Mother, she faintly overshadows Concubine De.
Every harem ceremony, Concubine Yi's position is above Concubine De's position, second only to Concubine Tong Jia's.
Although the dispute between her nephew Guishan and Cao Yan back then, after Kangxi's admonition, she also turned off the movement, but after all, it is a woman's surname, and no man is open-minded, which is not happy and always remembers it in my heart, and after six or seven years, I have not forgotten it.
is a good person, not to mention that he has become a cripple, and his future is ruined. Isn't this a slap in the face of their Guo Luoluo family?
Because of this, her brother and sister-in-law complained about their grievances in front of her.
In addition, Brother Jiu came over to nag a few times, which made her more and more disgusted with the people of the Cao family in her heart.
It's just other amazing magnates, how can a clothed slave be so arrogant, how can it not make people tired?
This time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent Mama to Cao's house to take care of her, and she talked about it in front of the Queen Mother. is nothing more than wanting to give the Cao family some eye medicine and avenge his nephew's humiliation.
I wanted to see the jokes, but I didn't expect it to happen.
She entered the palace in the fifteenth year of Kangxi, and Concubine Kangxi in the fourteenth year, and the two entered the palace at the same time. In about the same time, the two gave birth to three princes and elder brothers, who could be described as the two most popular palace concubines in the palace at that time.
However, in the end, the identity is different.
When Concubine De entered the palace that year, she entered the palace as the daughter of Zhenghuangqi's cloth, and entered the palace as a "small election". Even if his maiden brother has now carried the yellow flag, half of the clansmen have turned to the blue flag coat.
Even if she gave birth to the fourth elder brother in the seventeenth year of Kangxi, she was still a palace man with no name and no name. is still the adoptive mother of the fourth elder brother, and when she was the concubine Xiaoyi, Queen Xiaoyi couldn't bear it, so she was made a concubine the following year.
Concubine Yi is a show girl from the Three Banners, and she is from the Manchurian family Guo Luo Luo, and she was directly sealed as a "concubine" the next year after entering the palace.
In addition, Concubine Yi's surname is cool and lively, and her appearance is more gorgeous than Concubine De, which is really a favorite for a while. Concubine De is a stuffy gourd's surname, just because of the rules, she is quite popular with the queen mother of the two palaces.
Concubine Yi was young and flamboyant at the time, and she only thought about competing for favor in her heart, and she was fighting with several other concubines in the harem. For those old things in the palace of Chen Sesame and Rotten Grain, I didn't take it to heart.
Thinking that Li Shi looked at the faces of more than thirty people, and the slightly bulging lower abdomen, Concubine Yi pulled the corners of her mouth, but her heart was sour.
Although I also heard the Queen Mother say "Fifth Aunt", Concubine Yi didn't think of the eldest princess Gulun Shuhui.
The eldest princess Gulun Shuhui is married to two princesses, both of whom are Mongolian princes, and even if she gives birth to a daughter, she will not go to the south.
Moreover, the Mongols have different appearances, large skeletons, high cheekbones, and many single eyelids. Although this Li family is not short, he is different from the Mongols when he looks at his eyebrows.
However, thinking about the Queen Mother's gaffe, and then thinking about Kangxi's strange appearance just now, Concubine Yi had some grotesque thoughts in her heart.
She thought for a moment and called for a human: "Go, please come over!" Let's just say that the palace said, there are new cherries here, and invite her to eat and drink to relieve her boredom! ”
One time later, the chamberlain ushered in an old woman in her sixties.
Seeing Concubine Yi, the old woman leaned down and saluted.
She is the concubine Dong who was canonized as a concubine in the sixteenth year of Kangxi and Concubine Yi. More than ten years older than Concubine Yi, she was one of the first concubines to enter the palace, and she gave birth to a princess in her early years, but she didn't stop.
Although her status is not low, she is not favored and is very inconspicuous in the harem.
She has no biological children around her, and her adopted son, Brother Eleven, also died a few years after moving to Elder Brother's house.
Concubine Yi is the biological mother of the eleventh elder brother, and for this reason, she also takes care of the concubine.
Now, Concubine Duan is over the age of six, but she is still stained with the light of Concubine Yi and can be raised in this garden.
When Concubine Yi saw her salute, she stretched out her arm to support her, and said with a smile: "Old sister, get up quickly, do you want this palace to help you?" When I saw the heat at this time, I had nothing to do left and right, so I invited my sister to come over for a drink. ”
While speaking, the palace maid had already been instructed, put fresh fruit candied fruits, refreshing side dishes, and gave two pots of wine.
Concubine Yi instructed the palace maid to carry the concubine to sit on the side of the kang, and said with a smile: "My sister usually loves this mouthful, and now the palace is also kind, and I will accompany my sister to eat two cups." ”
Duan Concubine was quite surprised, looked at the table full of melons, fruits, wine and dishes, and looked at Concubine Yi, took out a handkerchief, but she cried "woo".
Although Concubine Yi was impatient in her heart, in order to coax her to speak, she had to endure her surname.
She personally brought the wine jug, filled the concubine with wine, and said, "My old sister, which one is this?" What are you crying about? Which one of you can't bully you with a long eye, tell me, see if I don't peel his skin! ”
Duan Concubine touched her tears and said: "In half a month, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival, and after the Dragon Boat Festival, it will be the birth sacrifice of the eleventh elder brother, and it has been twenty years in a blink of an eye." If the eleventh elder brother is still here, I am afraid that my son will marry a daughter-in-law now. ”
After all, it was the meat that fell from her own body, and when she heard the mention of the third son who died young, Concubine Yi felt a little uncomfortable, and sent the wine cup to the concubine, and said, "Old sister, what are you doing with this, making people uncomfortable?" You can rest assured, there is a queen mother over there in the fifth elder brother, the palace is not easy to call the shots, Xiao Jiu's five sons, pick one for you to be your grandson in the future, and my sister will always let my sister eat incense and worship after a hundred years. ”
The fifth elder brother has been raised in the Queen Mother's Palace since he was a child, and he is also close to that side when he grows up.
The queen mother is also very fond of the grandson she raised, and the old people have to go from the grandson to the great-grandson. Therefore, Concubine Yi, the biological mother, said that she couldn't be the master of the fifth elder brother.
"Is that true?" Duan Concubine was a little incredulous.
The old man has been in the palace for most of his life, and most of them are lonely, and tonight the scene is bleak, and he is envious when he sees that others have children and grandchildren.
After listening to Concubine Yi's sentence, how not to surprise and expect.
Concubine Yi was not in a hurry to reply, looked at the wine cup, and said with a smile: "Sister eat three cups first, and then the palace will say that this is true or false!" ”
Concubine Duan was already addicted to alcohol, and after listening to Concubine Yi's words, she immediately drank a cup, and did not wait for others to pour it, she poured herself a wine pot in one hand and a wine cup in the other, and drank two cups in a row...... The wine was too drunk, and the concubine's tongue was already straight, and she couldn't stop babbling.
Concubine Yi waved her hand, sent the people serving in the house down, and gave Concubine Duan a mouthful of food and said, "Old sister, you went to the palace before the wedding of the Long Live Lord, and you have seen the honor of the Empress Yuan's mother. It is said that Long Live Lord has the most affection for this lady in his heart, but I entered the palace late and did not see my mother. As he spoke, he felt a little regretful: "Before the queen of the Yuan Dynasty, the harem was not prosperous, and I think this is also due to the fact that the Lord of Long Live favors the middle palace." ”
The latter sentence is a nonsense with competing eyes.
Empress Xiaocheng of Kangxi Yuan gave birth to the second elder brother in the thirteenth year of Kangxi, but there have been five or six princes and three or four princesses in the harem.
Concubine Yi wondered in her heart whether she would be jealous and unable to tolerate people because of the envy of the Yuan Empress back then, so Long Live Lord sent the pregnant palace people out of the palace and asked the eldest princess Gulun Shuhui to take care of them.
The eldest princess of Gulun Shuhui, Kangxi, became a widow in the early years, and the empress dowager took pity on her and took her back to Beijing many times to live, and settled in the capital within a few years.
This Cao Yin's wife, Li, not only looks a little familiar to the Queen Mother, but even Concubine Yi is a little familiar when she looks at it, and thinks that she is full of shadows, a little like Princess Gulun Rongxian from Concubine Rong.
Princess Gulun Rongxian is the princess, and she looks the most like the Long Live Lord, so she is especially favored by the Long Live Lord.
The Li family, could it be the royal blood of the people?
When it came to old things, Concubine Duan's expression was a little confused, and when she heard the last sentence, she waved her hand and said: "This sentence, but it's funny, presumably the queen mother listened to it underground, and she also felt wronged." ”
"Oh?" Concubine Yi filled another glass of wine for Concubine Duan, and said, "Could it be that this Empress Yuan is really as virtuous as the Lord of Long Live praises?" ”
"What if you're not virtuous, it's just an ornament! She is not having a good time, she is trembling, she is afraid that she will not be imprisoned in that position! Duan Concubine said with some feelings: "Long live the lord...... It's been two years since the sign was lifted, but it wasn't for the queen. Speaking of which, I also have to be grateful to the queen mother, if it wasn't for the mother's arrangement, long live the lord would not have remembered me. It was that time that I was pregnant with Ergege, which was stolen in the end, and it was gone in less than two lives......" In the end, I cried again.
When Concubine Yi heard this, she was in line with what she was thinking, held back her joy, and persuaded her: "Sister drinking, a hundred years of life, is just a blink of an eye, but it's just life." ”
Duan Concubine drank another glass of wine and said: "Isn't it fate, no matter how good you look, how about being favored by the emperor, it's not that you can't escape your fate, if you say no, it's gone." has been in the palace for more than ten years, and he hasn't even got a serious name, and he still cherishes the old love. I heard that I wanted to follow the old things of the first emperor and posthumously became the queen, but in the end I was stopped by the queen mother of the two palaces, and I had to be buried with a concubine. Because of this, the queen is grateful for the affection of the queen mother of the two palaces, and she has been filial for a few years, but she is also a blessed ......"
Concubine Yi was a little confused when she heard it, since she was from the palace, why did the Li family grow up outside the palace?
The mother's family is the Li family, and the mother-in-law's family is the Cao family, both of whom are the emperor's henchmen. In addition, over the years, the emperor's preference for the Cao family can be said to be clear.
Duan Concubine had already poked her neck and muttered mysteriously: "There are some words, but I don't even dare to say them in my dreams, do you know what they are?" ”
Concubine Yi shook her head, revealing a little curiosity: "What is it?" In the end, my sister is older, and she has seen the market. ”
Duan Concubine covered her mouth with her hand, with a little horror on her face, and said: "I can't say, I can't say, there were not a hundred palace people who were martyred back then, but dozens of them." This is amazing, it is a life. ”
Seeing her like this, Concubine Yi put away her curiosity and moved on to other topics.
Concubine Duan was drunk and confused, and when she saw that Concubine Yi didn't ask, she couldn't hold back a little, and whispered: "I'll tell you, don't tell others to go!" It's unspeakable. ”
Concubine Yi nodded, and then heard Concubine Duan lower her voice and said, "That one didn't die of illness, I heard that the queen did it." She was afraid in her heart, that she was a Mongolian noblewoman, and she had the favor of the queen mother of the two palaces and the emperor. Although he stayed in the palace for the New Year, he was originally going to be sealed, but because the emperor was young and the auxiliary ministers were powerful, he accepted the girls of Hesheri and Niu Hulu as concubines. When Aobai falls and the emperor is in power, this harem will become an ornament. That one is not even a rare imperial concubine, so she asked the Empress Dowager to point out her relatives. This decree was issued, but he didn't marry out of the palace. Later, it was gone...... Later, rumors came out, and the Empress Dowager was furious and killed more than 100 palace people before the matter was suppressed, including a concubine......"
Concubine Yi was already dumbfounded when she heard this, but Concubine Duan was still chattering, and said: "The Aixin Jueluo family is in love, and the old emperor and the old emperor in the first place are all like this. The emperor is no different, but the poor queen is burdened with a false name, but she respects each other like guests, and it really doesn't look like a husband and wife. ”
Concubine Yi listened, but she was a little unconvinced, and said, "How can this be?" If it weren't for the deep love between husband and wife, the emperor would not have favored the second elder brother, and he set up the prince early without saying it, and taught it himself, how can he say this......"
"I don't know this, some say that the emperor wants to conquer in person, so he set up a prince just in case; It is also said that the Empress Dowager advocated returning to Manchuria and leaving the prince in charge of the country; It is also said that the emperor is guilty of the death of the queen, that is the Mongolian noblewoman, I heard that after refusing to be a palace concubine, she was adopted as an adopted daughter by the queen mother, but this rank is higher than the emperor's generation...... The emperor didn't care about this, and finally chased a concubine title......" Duan Concubine said with a big tongue.
It wasn't until she heard this sentence that Concubine Yi could be regarded as the same sentence as "Fifth Aunt".
The Empress Dowager gave birth to three princesses, and received a Southern Barbarian daughter, Kong Sizhen, plus this Mongolian noblewoman, is it Xingwu?
Concubine Yi was secretly happy in her heart, but she was also puzzled.
Even if she was afraid of the queen in her early years, but the queen has been in the house for many years, if the Li family is really royal blood, how can the queen mother of the two palaces and the emperor allow her to live among the people?
The next sentence that Duan Concubine muttered made her almost lose her soul: "This is the same every day, who can say it clearly?" If you want to ban it above, where can you ban it? Especially the later big moves, which made people panic, and there were a lot of rumors...... The words are evil, the noble girl entered the palace after the filial piety of the queen, some said that she wanted to be the concubine of the old emperor, and some said that the old emperor died because of the filial piety of the queen, and he couldn't bear to watch the mother and daughter separate, so he sent the one to the queen mother. According to this statement, it is a Mongolian noblewoman, that is, the golden branches and jade leaves of the serious heavenly family......"
Concubine Yi only felt that her eyes were black, and she couldn't help but tremble when she remembered Fang Caikang's cold gaze.
Duan Concubine fell drunk on the table, and the snoring was already getting louder...... One time less, the concubine has been sent back to be placed by the palace people.
Concubine Yi sat for a long time, and then the envoy called her confidant and servant, and said, "Master Duan is old, and his body is not good, I'm afraid I'm going to get old." After a while, the palace will be summer with the emperor, and you will leave the garden and take care of it......"
* At the residence of the princess, at the moment when Kangxi came in, Li and Chu Yu and others had already knelt down to greet them.
Kangxi glanced at Wang Concubine, saw that there was nothing wrong with her face, nodded, and said, "I'm just here to take a look, say a few words of homely things, let's be even......"
He sat down, pointed to the chair next to him, and asked Wang Concubine and Li to sit too.
It is not the first time that the Li family has seen His Majesty, in the early years, Kangxi made several southern tours, all of which took the Jiangning Weaving Mansion as the palace, and also went to the Cao family's house many times in person to visit the old lady of the Cao Sun family.
For the Li family, Kangxi's attitude has always been gentle, and he asked about the old lady's daily life and the children's schoolwork.
Around this way, the Li family is not easy to support, and he insisted on his words.
It was the princess who took her arm, pulled her to sit, and said with a smile: "I know that cousin, you are polite, but now that you are heavy and the emperor is compassionate, why sit down?" ”
Speaking of this, the princess looked at Kangxi and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is still good news to tell you, the sixteenth daughter-in-law has it again, Amitabha, ask the Buddha to bless you, and add a big fat grandson to the emperor this time." ”
When Kangxi heard this, his face showed kindness, nodded, and said: "It's indeed good news, spread my words, ask the Internal Affairs Office to pick a few catties from the old ginseng who entered Heilongjiang a few years ago and send it to the elder brother's side......" Speaking of this, he glanced at the Li family who was sitting under the princess, and said: "Prepare another copy and send it to Cao Yin's mansion." ”
The big guy thanked him again, Kangxi looked at everyone in front of him Although they were abiding by the rules, they were more respectful than they were respectful, and their intimacy was insufficient, and they felt a little desolate in the end.
He raised his head, looked at Chu Yu and said, "How is that kid Cao Yan at home?" Look at him outside, pretending to be very honest, is there any nonsense at home? ”
These words sounded like a reproach and a pampering, Chu Yu calmed down, and after a little weighing, he whispered: "Huang Mafa, the forehead is kind-hearted, and it is very generous to bring people at home. Nothing else is fine, but when I mention my parents-in-law, I hope that the second elder can be healthy and 100 years old, so that we can be more filial as children. When it came to Huang Ma Fa, he felt guilty in his heart, for fear that there would be something that he could not do well and live up to Huang Ma Fa's weight. Disappointing Huang Marfa. ”
Chu Yu didn't lie, but Cao Yan nagged similar things in front of his wife, but he didn't say so.
Cao Yan jokingly said that he is now an old scalper, if he can't do a good job, annoys the emperor, and is retired, then the whole family will go back to the south to farm and become a big landlord and a rich man.
He also asked Chu Yu if he was willing to be a landlord's wife, wrapped his head around his forehead, and coaxed a few little grandsons in front of and behind the house.
Among them, it is the boredom of the personnel in the capital and the concern for leisure.
Chu Yu was naturally not good at telling the truth, so he changed his tactful words.
Kangxi listened to the front, and his heart was still a little sour, and he felt that the girl's extroverted sentence was sure enough, and he listened to his granddaughter's praise of Cao Xuan.
However, when he heard the end, he was a lot of ironing in his heart.
It's not in vain that I mentioned it several times, that lazy boy finally remembered his surname a little, knew that he was afraid, and he had a little conscience.
Li is a mother, and when she heard her son, her face also showed concern.
Seeing that Kangxi's face was better, she was relieved.
Although she was sitting, she didn't dare to sit down, and sat on the edge of the chair, becoming more and more struggling, but Ding Er's forehead was already oozing sweat.
Kangxi Yuan also wanted to take the opportunity to say a few words to the Li family, but when he saw her look like his mother, he also felt a pain in his heart.
In addition, seeing that she was so uncomfortable, Kangxi was also excited, got up and said, "You guys are talking, I still have to go to see the excerpts......"
