The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 265 Mother Yi
It is the first time since the establishment of the Taiqing dynasty that Yinfeng was appointed as the crown prince.

The joyous singing and dancing in the palace lasted for nearly half a month before it gradually faded away.

Two days later will be the New Year's Eve, Concubine Yi is busy preparing the family banquet so she skips the sixth palace to pay her respects, all the concubines are free and because of the cold weather they often hide in the palace lazily and don't want to go out for a walk.

On the contrary, Rong Yue has changed from her previous attitude of being afraid of the cold, running between the east and west palaces almost every day, busy with company and joking with everyone, and most of these things are accompanied by Wannai, The two talked and laughed happily and got along naturally and harmoniously, without any distinction.

This morning, the two rushed to Elder Brother's place to visit Yinti and Changsheng's two younger elder brothers. When they came, Yinti's biological mother, Huigui Nala Yuwen, was also there, but she was full of sadness and seemed to be worried.

A few years later, Yinti is almost four years old now, and he is already at the age of going to the Shang's study every day to attend lectures.

Wan Lai and Rong Yue walked very lightly when they came, looking at her mother and son from behind.

"What the master taught you today, can you tell Er Niang?" Yuwen squatted halfway and put her hands on Yinti's shoulders, as if forcing a smile on her childish face.

After Yinti said, "Hui'er Niang", she began to shake her head, with the attitude of a master master: "The thread in the hands of a loving mother, and the clothes on the wanderer's body. Before leaving, the clothes are tightly packed, and I am afraid that I will return later. Who cares about grass , repay three Chunhui."

Yuwen clapped his hands lightly, praised with joy, and asked: "Master taught you this, do you know what it means?"

Yinti's childlike eyes rolled around: "The master said that one who is a son of man must first pay attention to filial piety, and then cultivate his body. The same is true for the emperor's mother, and the same for the mother."

My heart immediately warmed up, forcing Yuwen to shed tears.

Yinti stretched out her chubby little hand to wipe her tears, and comforted her softly: "Emiang doesn't cry, the master said, it is unfilial to make her cry, my son will take good care of her, Erniang will stop crying soon."

Yuwen stopped Yinti in her arms, said with a smile and tears: "Emiang is happy, son, you remember, no matter which palace you go to in the future, you must be well-behaved and sensible, and you must miss Emiang, but clear?"

Yinti nodded obediently: "You are naturally my son's mother, and my son likes my mother."

The mother and son were talking, when Yuwen caught a glimpse of Wanyu and Rongyue from the corner of her eye, so she hurriedly pulled Yinti to turn around and bowed to them.

"My son, to Madam Wan, and Madam Tong, please greet me."

Yinti knelt down, bowed and bowed, his words and deeds looked like a prince, Wannai and Rongyue rushed forward to help him up, seeing that the child was sensible, he couldn't help pampering and stroking him.

It was Rong Yue who first saw Yuwen's pale complexion, and she couldn't stop crying, so she asked a few questions with concern, but she didn't know that Yuwen just shook her head and didn't say much.

Wanyu also saw that something was wrong, so she ordered the nanny who took care of Yinti to take the child down, then took Yuwen's hand and asked, "What's the matter? I kept frowning when I saw you coming back from bed last morning. Tell us anything, we can give you an idea if there are more people, right?"

Yuwen frowned immediately and said: "Mother, Yinti will be four years old after the New Year's Eve. According to the rules of the palace, she can no longer be raised in elder brother's house."

Wan Yu doubted, "That's a good thing, why don't you be happy?"

Beside her, Rong Yue nudged Wanyu lightly with her elbow, and when Wanyu focused her eyes on her, she shook her head and sighed: "Do you think this child can be moved back to Yu Wen's side after leaving elder brother's house? According to the rules of the ancestors, concubines below the concubine's status are not allowed to raise their children by their side because of the low status of their mothers. They can only be raised by concubines with higher status. In this way, it is In order to give the child a decent background; furthermore, I am afraid that being raised by the birth mother's side from an early age will deeply taint the woman's weakness and difficulty in becoming a great weapon in the future; the third is also the reason for worrying about the tyranny of foreign relatives."

Hearing Rong Yue's words, Yuwen cried even more sadly: "I moved to the other people's palace, where can I see the child often without the holy order?" She glanced sideways at Rong Yue, then shook her head and sighed: "Now Concubine Yi is the only concubine in the palace. Yikun Palace is some distance away from Changchun Palace. I am relieved that Yinti went to Concubine Yi. But when I think of seeing Yinti again in the future, I can only stay together At the Palace Night Banquet, I feel bad."

Looking at Yu Wen's appearance, Wan Lai's heart softened.

How can I be considered as a half-mother, how can I not understand Yuwen's mood at this moment?

It's just that the rules of the ancestors are like this, even if she gave birth to the prince safely in the past, and did not reach the concubine position, the child would not stay by her side.

The family of emperors and emperors is inherently widowed, and this is an eternal truth.

Therefore, even though I know that it is cruel to break up the relationship between mother and child and cause the separation of flesh and blood, I can only persuade Yuwen to think about it, and even relieved that in private, Concubine Yi will often bring Yinti to Changchun. Gong saw her as an excuse to make Yuwen's mother and son see each other often, which barely stopped Yuwen's injury.

Yinti's birthday is the fourteenth day of the second lunar month, counting the days, but in two months, the child will be raised in Concubine Yi's Palace.

The eldest sister has been unable to conceive for a long time, so she must be happy and generous when she suddenly has a child. Thinking about it this way, this matter is not too bad for Yuwen after all.

When Wan Lai and Rong Yue left Elder Brother's office, Yu Wen took care of Yin Ti and did not go with her while she was having lunch.

As soon as the wind from the long street was cold and cold, there was a sudden heavy snow last night, and it was slippery to travel in a sedan chair. The two could only wrap themselves in heavy cloaks, and walked slowly with a hand-warming Mrs. Tang in their arms.

Along the way, Wanyu saw Rong Yue's preoccupied appearance, so she asked curiously: "Sister, what's the matter? I've been bored since I came out of elder brother's place."

"Zuo is just looking at the pity of their mother and child." Rong Yue sighed, and shook her head helplessly: "Everyone only hopes to be born in the emperor's family. Let's just look at it coldly, and the children born in this palace are not as good as ordinary families." Since the emperor ascended the throne, most of the emperor's heirs have died young, and now only two of the eight princes are still alive. I never dare to think about it. It is now that Yinti is growing up alone, but so what? When you are sensible, you rely on your mother the most, but you have to send it to be someone else's child. Alas”

Wan Yu's voice was calm and without any waves: "How can such a day only be found in the palace?"

The incident between Yuwen and Yinti made her suddenly recall the days when she was in the mansion.

Because I was a concubine, I couldn't raise Shu Shujue Luo when I was a child, and I had to change the maid's clothes with Yunshan every time I saw each other, and secretly talked for a while to comfort my mother, it was really pitiful. It's just that Rong Yue, who was born on the same day, is also the eldest daughter, so naturally she can't understand the bitterness of it.

But this huge Forbidden City is much wider than the mansion. It falls on this boundary, and it really lives under the same roof, as if it is separated from the peaks of Mount Tai.
