The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 199
Since the queen passed away, the empress dowager's body is not as strong as before.

Although he has never had a headache again, Keren can't keep his head up.

In the Ci Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager avoided the palace people, leaving Aunt Su Ma alone to serve her.

The Boshan furnace on the red sandalwood table in the hall slowly exhales misty misty smoke of benzoin, which is the most soothing and soothing in this hot summer.

The Empress Dowager lit three sticks of incense, and slowly inserted them into the incense burner in front of the altar. The twilight sunlight poured on her wrinkled face, reflecting her kind face: "You girl, you want to enjoy the blessings." At that time, there is no such fate." She sighed softly, and swept the floating ash on the Buddhist altar: "Ai's body is not good enough to go to Gonghua City to burn a stick of incense for you in person, but it doesn't mean that I don't remember you in my heart. Arrived I saw your grandfather Sonny on the other side, and complain to him if you have any grievances. But you can rest assured that the Ai family and the emperor will protect the Hesheli family, and it will be considered as fulfilling the promise made to you and your grandfather that day."

The Empress Dowager groaned quietly, seemingly with infinite feelings.

Outside the hall, Aunt Su Ma came in holding a plate of freshly selected fruits and lifted the curtain. She held the hand of the Empress Dowager, waited for her to sit on the warm seat, and softly comforted her: "Because of the death of Empress Daxing, you When you are so sad, you have to pay attention to your body."

The Empress Dowager smiled sadly: "Ai's family is half buried in the ground, but the ancestors took pity on the last remaining life. Shuyu is really pitiful. You will do your best to take care of it in the future. In addition to the emperor's comfort and reward to the Hesheli family, And don't forget the part of mourning the family."

Aunt Su Ma promised her promise, but at this time the voice of Empress Dowager Renxian came from outside the hall: "The Empress Dowager is concerned about the Hesheli family, but I don't know if their thoughts are on the death of Empress Daxing. , still thinking about my family's honor and favor."

Empress Dowager Renxian's words were extremely blunt, and she had reached the empress dowager's side while she was speaking, and she bent down to salute, "I send my regards to the emperor's mother."

The Empress Dowager took a look at her and said sternly: "You said that, but did you hear someone's gossip?"

Empress Dowager Renxian stood up, took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to the Empress Dowager: "Look for yourself, Gabra just died of his daughter, even if the emperor has not recovered from his grief, he It’s the one who turns grief into motivation.”

The Empress Dowager took the letter with a suspicious expression on her face, and took it out to read it, her face suddenly gloomy.

What the letter said was the petition words of Empress Daxing's biological father Gabra, who only said that Empress Daxing had passed away and that there was no one in the Hesheli family in the harem, so he was very upset.And because of the death of Empress Daxing, the triennial draft could not be held as scheduled, so I wanted to pray for the contribution of the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager Renxian and her father Sonny in helping to put down the rebellious party of Aobai and Shulao who sacrificed her life for the Qing Dynasty After the hard work of giving birth to a son, she was allowed to send her second daughter, Hesheli Luofu, to serve in the palace.

After reading the letter, the Empress Dowager frowned, slapped the letter on the desk again, and said sharply: "Has he lost his daughter and lost his mind? How dare he say such foolish words?"

Empress Dowager Renxian hurriedly replied respectfully: "My son heard that Hesheli Luofu was born very similar to Empress Daxing, and now the emperor is worried about the sudden death of Empress Daxing. Entering the palace, wouldn't it just satisfy the emperor's longing for his wife?"

The Empress Dowager said in a deep voice: "No matter how much she looks like, she is not the emperor's first wife. What good is it to have a shadow by her side?"

"Talk is better than nothing. It's just that whether or not Kabula is allowed to do so depends entirely on the queen's mother's idea."

The Empress Dowager smiled calmly: "Since he begged, the Ai family will give him this face. His Hesheli clan can't have two great queens in the same dynasty. Just give them a title, just keep them in the palace. Already." She paused for a moment, raised her eyebrows and looked at Queen Mother Renxian: "In the past, if Na Rensheng was born at an untimely time, when the government and the opposition were in turmoil, the Ai family had to give up the queen's position in order to stabilize the government. For the Hesheli family. Now that Empress Daxing is dead, the Ai family thinks, it is time for us Mongolian concubines to take back our own post."

The smile on the lips of the Empress Dowager Renxian was as bright as the first spring jasmine flower: "Earlier, when I heard the news of Empress Daxing's death, I arranged for my mother to pick a Mongolian woman who could match the emperor's heart. Now that person, Hastened on and rushed towards the Forbidden City."

The Empress Dowager let out a faint 'huh', lightly stroked the tufted Yao Huang Peony on her forehead hairpin, nodded and said: "You have always been neat in doing things, the Ai family chose you to be the successor of the late emperor, It is also because of this. After all, the emperor's biological mother, Cihe Dowager, is unlucky to have children. Now, the empress dowager of the Qing Dynasty is not the only one?" She smiled brightly, and asked: "Who did you choose? ?”

"It's the daughter of our Prince Horqin Darhan and the tower, and the niece of the late emperor's concubine. Her name is Borzigit Qimuge. She is a child of a family, and she is also dignified and beautiful. Presumably, she should be able to meet the emperor's wishes."

The Empress Dowager sighed and said: "The background is a little low, but with the support of Aijia and you, it is not too shabby. Now that there is no master in the harem, Concubine Yi monopolizes the limelight, and there must be newcomers to suppress it Her momentum has grown. After Qimuge enters the palace, she will be sent into the palace together with Kabula's youngest daughter, and the emperor will grant her a seat."

Empress Dowager Renxian said Nuo Nuo: "No matter how well Concubine Yi manages the harem, it is just a blessing to be promoted to the imperial concubine. The emperor is filial and misses the empress's mother and sons and daughters. We Mongolian girls entered the palace, who knows where? Day, it will be closed."

The Empress Dowager smiled kindly, casually took a Buddhist scripture beside the table, and said leisurely: "The emperor is old now, and many decisions cannot be left to us. Even if we take pains to arrange it, we have to follow his wishes." But, compared to Concubine Yi, her younger sister has a very sacred heart. Aijia thought, only Concubine Yi is now in the harem, and only Concubine Wan and Concubine Xian are in the harem. Empress Xing's temperament has passed, I'm afraid she will be promoted to the position of the three of them."

Empress Dowager Renxian pondered for a moment, then sighed: "The emperor is going to Gonghua City to pay tribute to Empress Daxing now that he has nothing to do. His affection is so deep. It will take some time to let it go."

The Empress Dowager lowered her eyes, and said with a sneer, "I don't see how much I cherish him when I'm alive, but I think about him so sadly when I'm dead. Is he a child of the Aixinjueluo family? The heartless hypocrisy, really didn't let go of it at all, and inherited it." She slowly put down the Buddhist scriptures, took the hand of Empress Dowager Renxian, and said happily: "Nowadays, the flowers in the Imperial Garden are blooming all over, and there is always something new. The scenery, you can accompany Ai's family to have a look."
