Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Chapter 181 Imperial Concubine

Having not left the prison in the Forbidden City for six years, Hai Feng thought he would be very happy when he returned to the grassland, but he couldn't sleep well all the way.

Everything was so different from what she remembered.

Is history about to be rewritten?

Galdan could not be found, unknown fears controlled the capital, nine gates were under martial law, shops were closed, food prices soared, and all businesses were ruined.

Alani's failure finally flowed into the palace through unofficial channels, and the combat effectiveness of the Junggar army was exaggerated after several rounds of recounting, as if it was a divine soldier descending from heaven.Every day in Ningshou Palace, the women of the clan come to intercede, hoping to follow the Queen Mother's footsteps and transfer their husbands, sons or brothers back from the front line.

And Kangxi asked the crown prince, the third elder brother, and her to go to Qingcheng Palace to serve the sick at this point in time. In the eyes of most people who don't know the inside story, it almost means that the emperor may be in charge of Bintian at some point. So meet the kids.People in the capital are in a state of panic all day long.

Wars change rapidly.Will such rumors affect the morale of the army?

Under the cover of the nest, how can there be any eggs.Compared with her mother being recalled to the court by Kangxi again, Haifeng is more worried that Kangxi will capsize in the gutter of Galdan.Qingcheng Xinggong is just a palace, which does not have the hardware conditions for defense at all.Wouldn't it be true that Gao Shiqi's crow's mouth said that this place will become a new civil castle?

The Shenji Battalion and the Tiger Gun Battalion together have about a thousand troops, escorting two princes and a princess all the way north.When the big team arrived at the Qingcheng Palace, Tong Guowei was the minister on duty and greeted the elder brothers at the main gate; Hai Feng quietly entered through the back door because he couldn't get out of the car in public.

When she saw Xin Qimei who was waiting, she felt a little relieved.After getting out of the car, it was hard to cover up, so Haifeng simply asked Xin Qimei to speak up.

"What's going on? The mouths of the people sent back to Beijing are so tight that I can't pry them open. I never understood."

Xin Qimei carefully told the story of how Ji Lan was seen crying in front of Kangxi's hospital bed.She is very pessimistic about Jilan's future.

"Fourth princess, the nobleman can't leave the emperor's eyes even for half a step. Even if he goes out to eat or ask for a cup of tea, the emperor will always ask why he disappeared. Eunuch Liang was waiting for the pen and ink last night, and saw the emperor writing the imperial edict, naming the nobleman as Concubine Jing. It's been printed!"

Haifeng was in a hurry, and desperately grabbed Xin Qimei's hand, almost failing to lift it up.Xin Qimei hurriedly rubbed her back to make Haifeng feel better.

"Concubine Jing, isn't this nonsense? The imperial concubine is the younger sister of Empress Niu Hulu, and she has given birth to ten elder brothers, and now she doesn't have a serious title. There is only one me in Ernie, and my background is not good. Instead, she surpassed her. Even the court will not sit idly by. No way. E Nie is an inconspicuous nobleman, and I still have a way to save her. If she is named a noble concubine, she must return to the palace. Go quickly and call E Nie out. When the prince and the others go in later, Ernie must avoid it. This opportunity must not be missed."

"Yes, I'll find a way. The princess waits in my room in the side hall."

Xin Qimei gathered herself together and ran quickly to the main hall.The eunuchs are well aware of Guo Guiren's weight in front of the emperor, so no one dares to embarrass her maid.When Xin Qimei arrived at the door, she looked along the crack of the door and saw that Guo Guiren was feeding ginseng soup to the emperor, and there were no elder brothers in front of her.

Ji Lan has been serving Kangxi's soups, medicines and delicacies for five or six days in a daze.Every time I want to sneak out, I will be found out immediately, and I am less and less afraid to escape, and I am always out of my mind.Kangxi saw her like this, so he specially asked Hai Feng to come over and write an imperial concubine's imperial edict, hoping that she could calm down and smile again.

"The emperor never likes to use ginseng, and the slaves know it. But the imperial physicians all said that this is a great tonic, the emperor should take another two sips."

Kangxi patiently drank the ginseng soup that Jilan brought over in spoonfuls, then squeezed her hand and persuaded her gently.

"Everything is up to me. What are you always afraid of? When the crown prince and the others come over, I will issue an order. Which palace does Lan'er want to live in? Let the House of Internal Affairs fix it in advance. You can live in it as soon as you return to Beijing. Or, first in Changchun Two days in the garden? The scenery there is good, and it’s not as hot as the Forbidden City.”

Ji Lan has been arguing with Kangxi for almost two days about the matter of being a noble concubine, and she really has nothing to say.When he was in a dilemma, he suddenly saw Xin Qimei poking her head outside, feeling relieved, she raised her voice to ask a question.

"Why are you here? Is the fourth princess here?"

"Return to Master, Her Royal Highness is waiting in the side hall."

"Go and tell her, I'll be right here."

Taking advantage of the situation, Ji Lan pulled out Kangxi's grasped hand, and with an idea, he snatched the written imperial decree from the desk again.

"Your majesty, slaves never have any ideas. Take this first and let my daughter see it. If she says yes, let's discuss it later."

"Yeah. Feng'er is smart. It's not bad if you ask her. I also miss her. After you mother and daughter have whispered, come here quickly."

As soon as Ji Lan left, Liang Jiugong came in and passed on the news, saying that His Royal Highness and the third elder brother were waiting outside the hall.Under the treatment of the imperial physician and the care of Ji Lan, Kangxi has almost recovered.He was worried about the situation in Beijing, and he was a little lonely, so he asked the prince and the third elder brother to come and get together.

"Nothing on the road. How does the prince look?"

Liang Jiugong dared not tell the truth.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness is looking at it, a little lost. Your Highness didn't seem to listen to the servant talking about the Emperor's condition just now."

The prince's heart was shaken violently in just a few days.

Suo'etu was too hasty. As soon as Kangxi fell ill, he couldn't wait to send someone to inform the prince who stayed in the capital to prepare for his enthronement.The 16-year-old prince, although he has been trained as an emperor, is still a little at a loss after all.

After receiving the news that Khan Ama was critically ill, the prince was covered in the quilt and cried intermittently all night.He lost his mother since he was a child, and now he has lost his father. He doesn't even have any siblings, except Suo'etu, who is still considered a relative.This will provoke the burden of thousands of miles, he is afraid, he hesitates.

Liang Jiugong sent someone back to Beijing to pass the decree, asking the prince to bring his younger brothers and sisters to Qingcheng Palace.The eunuch who delivered the decree did not dare to assert the safety of the emperor. After all, when he came out, the emperor looked weak, and the eunuchs did not dare to say anything that the imperial doctors dared not say.So the prince prepared for the worst, that is, maybe this time he came to attend the funeral.

On the way, after receiving the news that Kangxi was getting more energetic day by day, the prince finally felt relieved.Fortunately, he also has a trace of regret.

After all, he almost ascended the throne.

These strong emotions rose and fell, and the prince was now exhausted.From Liang Jiugong's point of view, this state seemed to be lost, but from Kangxi's point of view, it was indifference.

The third elder brother followed his elder brother into the main hall, greeted and saluted respectfully.He didn't think ahead about how he should react, how to answer, because no one had reminded him to do so.The third elder brother felt that he only had to follow the prince.The second brother is Khan Ama's favorite son, and all the other elder brothers and princesses combined can't compare. The second brother's reaction must be right.

Kangxi first asked a few words, how is Beijing.After the prince briefly explained the situation of the martial law, he finished telling the empress dowager and all the ladies in the palace how they missed the emperor, and then he stood with his hands down and stopped talking.

There was an awkward silence.

The inertia of covering up the prince made Kangxi unable to speak harshly.He turned to ask the third elder brother, hoping that the second son would understand and say a few thoughtful words.

"Does the third child have anything to say to me?"

"Ah... son... this, um, I heard that Ama Khan is sick, and everyone in the palace is very anxious. Seeing Ama Khan in good spirits today, my son is very happy."

Although Kangxi was asking the third elder brother, in fact, his attention was all on the prince.Not only was he disappointed when he saw his son's calm expression, but he also felt ridiculous.

"Okay, I want to rest for a while. You go."

The crown prince and the third elder brother retreated slowly, just as Hai Feng came over, the two sides exchanged a few words, and she went in to see Kangxi by herself.

"Greetings to Khan Ama."

"Get up. Come here, I'll take a good look."

Haifeng and Jilan haven't really met each other for several years, and they cried endlessly under excitement, their eyes were still red, and their speech was weak.She didn't bother to tell lies in those scenes, she just held Kangxi's hand directly, and checked the pulse on both sides.

"The imperial physician always refuses to tell the truth. You have to look at it exactly like this before you can rest assured."

"You child, you are too careful. Where are you?"

"Returning to Khan Ama, a woman is the one who pleases herself. Khan Ama is inseparable from people. Ene has no time to take a bath for a few days. Now send me over to watch her, so that she can clean her body, then comb her hair and put on makeup. .”

Only then did a smile appear on Kangxi's face, and then he sighed again.

"I have raised so many sons, and now there is not even one who can serve tea and medicine in front of the hospital bed. All of them together may not shed as many tears as Lan'er for me. You heard Well, I want to canonize her as a noble concubine."

Haifeng knew that Kangxi was sick now, sentimental and stubborn.My mother couldn't persuade her after talking for two days, and she probably couldn't stop her now.

It's better to change the way of thinking, let Kangxi come out of this melancholy state, and restore the usual ruthless but rational appearance of the emperor, maybe he can still succeed.

"Ama Khan, Feng'er has something that I have kept in my heart since I left Beijing. Ernie is important, and so is Ama Khan. On Ama Khan's side, the matter is of great importance. We must talk about it first, and then discuss it. nirvana."

"Look at you, how big a deal can be, so anxious."

Hai Feng stood up from the bed and knelt on the ground.

"Khan Ama, Suo'etu intends to confuse the prince and seek to usurp the throne."

"What? Where did this come from?"

"Malhan, the household doctor. In fact, Prince An introduced Malhan to me before he was alive. At that time, Malhan was idle at home, and his daughter asked him to go to Yaksa City to help with some private affairs. As for him, he was in Nigeria again later. It was unexpected that Bu Chu was appreciated by Suo'etu. According to him, seven days ago, Suo'etu had secretly sent his cronies back to Beijing to send a letter to the elder brother of the prince. After that, the elder brother of the prince became restless and called Malhan and other trustworthy officials in the past, in words, repeatedly hinted that after ascending the throne, how..."

"presumptuous!"

Kangxi grabbed the empty ginseng soup bowl that was placed on the small round table, and slammed it on the door frame. The broken porcelain pieces flew everywhere, but fortunately, Hai Feng and himself were not scratched.

"Khan Ama, don't get angry, the dragon body is important!"

"No wonder, no wonder he is like this... So he was angry... Why is Qi Zhen not dead, delaying his succession!"

Kangxi fell down on the pillow in frustration, his face flushed, and he coughed continuously.

Hai Feng hurried forward to feel the pulse, feeling that it was all right, she was afraid that Kangxi would be really angry to death.

"Han Ama, listen to what my daughter has to say. This matter is all caused by Suo'etu's wishful thinking. Brother Prince, he never had such an idea. The imperial decree just arrived in the capital and said that the three of us should come over. The brother Prince called me to come together I have been crying for a long time."

"Silly girl, how do you know that he wasn't there, using you to save himself a way out? Maybe he was thinking, in case I didn't die, his thoughts were exposed, not only did he not get the throne , The reserve position is still lost. So what to do. So he specially called you to play a play. In the future, you can also help to say a few words."

Hai Feng really didn't think about it that way, he was stunned for a while, not knowing how to reply.

Kangxi saw that she was at a loss, she was really young, and she didn't know enough about the dangers of human beings.

"You have to learn slowly. I have few daughters, and only you and Wu Gege are the smart ones. If I had known today, I would have raised a few more princesses. At least, I wouldn't have given up my flesh and blood for this dragon chair." .Go ahead, and if your Ernie is ready, tell her to come quickly."

"Ama Khan, my daughter has been by my brother's side for a few years. I'm quite sure of his character. If Ama Khan doesn't give up, can you let me go? Let me try my best. If my brother is really unfaithful and unfilial... ..."

"How are you doing?"

Seeing the shrewdness of the past in Kangxi's eyes again, Haifeng knew that his imperial arrogance had finally been stimulated back.

"There are always more than 1000 imperial guards here. The enemy is currently present, and it is not easy to shake the reserve position. They will be escorted back to the capital and placed under house arrest in the bedroom. On the day when Galdan is defeated, they will be punished together with Suo'etu."

"Are you so resolute and sure that the Qing Dynasty will win?"

"Why did Khan Ama ask me about military affairs..."

"Yes, I asked, but you dare not answer?"

What dare not answer?It really doesn't work, just follow the history books.

"If Galdan knew the principle of attacking the heart, he should have let go of Tuxietu Khan and Master Jebtsundamba, and showed his favor to the three tribes of Khalkha. That would be the most difficult to deal with. The yuan is only a hundred years old, so it can be seen that if you can get the land, you can't get the heart, and it will be difficult for a long time. However, the people in Beijing are indeed fluctuating now. The price of rice has reached more than three or two. The Ministry of Household Affairs should stabilize prices and stabilize people's livelihood."

"I asked the prince just now, but he didn't mention the food price increase. If Feng'er was an elder brother, I could have more helpers. But she is a princess. You go and invite uncle to come in. I will make an order as soon as possible so that the Ministry of Households can think about it." Ways. As for the prince’s affairs, you can do whatever you want. Since Beijing and China are not stable, I will drive back to Luan immediately after finishing this matter.”

"Yes. Feng'er will live up to the trust of Ama Khan."
