The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 173
Before the emperor left Beijing, a small incident happened in the palace.

Li Baolai, the prince's attendant eunuch, secretly recognized brother and sister with a young maid in the Yanxi Palace, and somehow the emperor found out, so he was furious.

During the emperor's southern tour not long ago, he just delivered a proclamation to the harem: it is strictly forbidden for eunuchs to recognize relatives, uncles, and sisters with women in various palaces, and those who violate it will be punished severely.

But Li Baolai and the little palace maid not only recognized brother and sister, but even ate each other in the name of "brother and sister", which was extremely filthy.In a rage, the emperor sent the two of them to severe punishment.After Li Baolai was beaten with a stick until his leg bones were broken, he lost too much blood and died of pain; the little palace lady was put into claustrophobia and died of the blow.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace were all panicked for a moment, and they dared not make any further gestures of acknowledgment.The so-called killing chickens to scare monkeys is nothing more than that.

The death of a eunuch and a palace maid in the palace was a trivial matter, but Yinzhen went to the palace to find Concubine De, and asked her to help find out the cause of the matter.Concubine De didn't know what his intentions were, so she asked him a few words.

"Emiang, this matter is no small matter, it's better for Ernian not to know." He just wanted to confirm who the woman in the Changchun Garden was having an affair with the crown prince.No matter who the woman was, she could not publicize her affair with the crown prince, Yinzhen didn't want to deceive Concubine De, so she simply chose to remain silent.

"Okay, Er Niang will help you find out. You don't want to say anything, and I won't force you. Er Niang just reminds you, be careful in everything. Er Niang only hopes that you and Yinti will be safe and sound forever. .”

Yinzhen's eyes moved, he grew up not beside Concubine De, so whenever he saw Sisi getting so close to Concubine De, he would always think of the scene when Empress Xiao Yiren treated him as her own.After all, he never got along with Concubine De in the most innocent age, so when he grows up and interacts with her, he has already learned to be respectful.Alienation already exists, so there is no longer the intimacy between Yinzhen and Concubine De that Fourteen had with her.

But after all, blood is thicker than water, even though every time Yinzhen came to pay his respects alone, the mother and son had very little conversation, but once Yinzhen asked, Concubine De would agree.

The news of Concubine De came quickly, and Yinzhen learned what had happened from Concubine De the next day.He also guessed about the details that the people in the palace did not know.

Seeing his preoccupied appearance, Concubine De couldn't help asking again: "What is it, do you have to hide it from Er Niang?"

The concern on her face was real, Yinzhen's heart moved, he hesitated for a while, and then leaned to her ear and said the matter.

Concubine De was shocked when she heard the words, and after taking a few breaths, she immediately regained her composure: "This matter is serious? Don't talk nonsense about such things! The prince..."

Yinzhen nodded: "This matter is of great importance, and I know it well, so I will not let it out. It is because of the importance of the matter that I don't want to have doubts in my heart. E Niang just pretends not to know about it, don't worry about it." There is a burden, as long as the son-in-law didn't ask about this matter."

Concubine De has been in the palace for so many years, so she knows what to say and what not to say.She nodded firmly, reassuring Yinzhen.The mother and son chatted for a while, and Concubine De suddenly asked about Yanhua: "I heard that in Changchun Garden that day, a little Gege from your house also went? E Nie was full of praise for her , I think she really wants to see little Gege in your house again. You should quickly pick a time in the next few days and take her into the palace as early as possible to meet Er Nie. I will take her there together , and ask Liuli to accompany her to remind her of some rules."

Yinzhen was a little surprised, he didn't expect Lagu Su Ma to fall in love with Yanhua so much.

After the death of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, the emperor has always respected Aunt Su Ma very much. Not only did she continue to live in the Palace of Compassion, but he also honored her as E Nie.No one in the palace dared to disturb her Qingxiu, and she never disturbed the affairs of the world. She guarded the Temporary An Fengdian just as continuing to accompany the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang (the coffin of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang has been parked in the Temporary An Feng Hall).It's just that now that she is old and her body is not as good as before, the emperor will always try her best to satisfy her whatever vision she has in daily life.

It's just that she never asks for anything in normal times, now that the emperor is not in the palace during his tour outside the Great Wall, Concubine De heard that Aunt Su Ma mentioned Yanhua several times, so she took this opportunity to mention it to Yinzhen.

A trace of surprise flashed in Yinzhen's eyes, thinking of what happened in Changchun Garden, he was a little worried about Yanhua's entry into the palace after all.

How many things are hidden in the deep palace, how can he send a little girl like Yanhua in with confidence.After hesitating for a moment, he finally opened his mouth cautiously: "My son is afraid that she is ignorant, and it would be bad if she offended Mama."

Concubine De didn't expect him to refuse, and there was a hint of inquiry in her eyes: "I didn't expect you to protect her so much. I want to see her too if you protect her like this. I heard that little Gege's She is very good at equestrian skills and can be appreciated by Ernie. I don't think she is a reckless person. Your emperor Ama has always responded to Ernie's requests, not to mention, it is rare for Ernie to ask for something. Although she didn't say anything this time, she can I can see that she likes your little Princess very much."

Yinzhen sighed, knowing that he couldn't refuse, so he nodded his head: "I understand that I will bring her in as soon as possible, and then I will ask Er Niang to send someone to teach her some rules. Although Huang Ama is not here, But there are still others in the palace."

Concubine De smiled, stared at Yinzhen and said: "It's rare to see him talking so much to me, it seems you are very nervous about her. I'm really curious now, what kind of little Gege is he? It can make you so concerned."

Yinzhen's face froze for a moment, a flash of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and he forced himself to say: "Er Niang laughed, I'm just afraid that she is ignorant, and if Mama gets angry by then, I will give Er Niang more trouble." Trouble."

Seeing this, Concubine De stopped teasing him: "That's it. I think the weather has been good recently, so you can bring her over tomorrow. Wen Yao is not in good health, so just rest in the mansion. I Arrangements will be made tomorrow, just bring her here to me."

Now that the matter has been decided, Yinzhen no longer refuses.

When he returned to the mansion, Yanhua was standing outside the study waiting for him.She really did as she promised before, she waited outside in a well-behaved manner, she didn't wander around, and she didn't step on the shadow to play with Huaying.

Seeing Yan Hua's immature face, he was taken aback for a moment, opened his mouth and called out: "Chanchan~"

Yanhua was lowering her head to discuss with Huaying about making clothes, and she kept a few pieces of cloth that the emperor gave her, thinking about making some new clothes for herself, and giving some to Huaying, Lingxi and Yingxiu, all together. Wear new clothes.But Huaying said, the fabric is too good, they are maidservants after all, they shouldn't dress so carefully.

"Master Belle is back~" Yan Hua raised her head, and after seeing that familiar handsome face, she curled her mouth and smiled sweetly.

Yinzhen walked over, raised his hand to touch her smooth face, didn't say anything, just led her to the garden.

There are several water lilies in the pond next to the rockery, and they are already budding. Two of them have already bloomed, one is tender red and the other is delicate yellow.There is also a water lily in the pond with two buds, which was first discovered by Yanhua. Since then, Yanhua has brought Yinzhen over every day to see if it has bloomed.

The flowers bloom side by side, a true pair.

Yanhua naturally hopes to borrow the auspicious meaning of the Bingdilian to make a wish for a long-term love with Yinzhen.

It's just that it's not easy to wait for this pair of twin lotuses to bloom. She has dragged Yinzhen to see them five or six times, but each time she couldn't see them bloom.She was worried that Yinzhen would get tired of her behavior, but she didn't expect that Yinzhen took the initiative to pull her to see it today.

In fact, before she went to the study just now, she turned around to look at it, and the stilt lotus hadn't bloomed, so she didn't have any hope, she just came here with Yinzhen to relax.

Unexpectedly, the Bingdilian seemed to be against her intentionally, and after a while, when Yinzhen led her to the pool, he found that Bingdilian was blooming!Although the two lotus flowers only opened one petal each!
Yanhua hurriedly let go of Yinzhen's hand, wanting to make a wish, but hesitated for a while, but stopped again.She smiled with crooked eyebrows, like two new moons hanging on her face.

"Can Chanchan dare to enter the palace?" Seeing that she was happy, Yin Zhen asked directly, not wanting to delay any longer.

Yan Hua saw that he asked strangely, she felt strange in her heart, but she still shook her head, her eyes were a little nervous and said: "What does Lord Belle mean by asking this?"

"It's fine if you're not afraid. You can come into the palace with me tomorrow. After seeing you riding a horse in Changchun Garden, Mamo talked about you several times. After Erniang heard about it, she wanted you to go into the palace again to be with Mamo Talking about it makes her happy."

Yanhua breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled innocently again: "Don't be afraid, Mama is very kind, it's a pleasure talking to her."

"Well, you still have to be careful. She is old, so don't laugh too loudly in front of her, it's not good to scare her..." Yinzhen thought of a few warnings, so he told her casually, but after finishing speaking After that, I remembered other instructions, and continued to say...

This said, it is enough to say that there is a cup of tea.

Yanhua knew that he was worried that he would cause trouble after entering the palace, so she quickly squeezed his hand and promised: "Master Belle, I know how to measure, when I enter the palace tomorrow, I will be careful in what I say and do, so that I won't cause trouble .”

Only then did Yinzhen realize that he had been rambling for so long, and there was a look of unnaturalness between his brows, and he stretched out his hand and stretched it out in front of her eyes: "Where is Xiao Zha?"

At this moment, he realized that Yan Hua was wearing the earrings he gave her. They were the pair of earrings with red coral beads embedded in the silver trim. They were shaking slightly with the movement of her head, making her entire face stand out. Shining brighter and brighter.

Yanhua took out the folded note from her purse, smoothed it out, and then held the note in both hands and handed it to him respectfully: "Master Baylor, please have a look."

Seeing how knowledgeable and sensible she was, Yinzhen chuckled lightly.

After he took over, Yanhua stuck out her tongue: "How about I be careful tomorrow?"
