The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 348 Family Temple ([-])

Please Anbi today, when Lin Lan got the title of Empress Xie En, she would inevitably suffer some gossip from others. She was a big-hearted person, and she would not listen to these discussions at all.

Only when the crowd dispersed and Yide and Wanyu were the only ones left in the palace, she sighed softly: "Where are these what I want?"

Yide took off his armor and gently rubbed his temples: "This is your blessing. Since you are the emperor's concubine, just think of ways to please the emperor. Only in this way can you live in the palace for a long time."

Lin Lan suddenly smiled, shaking her head and pondering: "The concubine is really tired of doing those things that are not going to happen. The empress looks at the people in the harem, who is not doing math skills to please the emperor? Concubine It was unexpected that the concubine got favored, it was because of my own temperament, how could I survive in this harem? It is just that the empress and concubine Wan are thinking about it, and the days can finally survive."

"It's all right to tell us such things in front of us. You don't have to listen to others. You are only a Jinfeng, and you will always be criticized by others." Lan's temper?Ben is a somewhat similar person to Yide, with a bit of arrogance and spirit.

But these things are all ups and downs in the harem and definitely can't be kept in the apex of the heart.

Perhaps Yide is different from her, after all, in Yide's heart, there is still affection and admiration with the emperor for so many years.

But where does Linlan have so much affection for the emperor?

This is the concubine brought in by the emperor after drinking and messing around, who would care about her feelings?

I only know that she jumped into a phoenix, but I don't know what she wants in the bottom of her heart.

But in the final analysis, with her background, who would think about what she wanted in her heart.

However, the glory and wealth that most women in the world seek are suddenly obtained by a woman like her, so she should be happy.

So all kinds of excuses later, in the eyes of others, are just her hypocrisy.

The three gossiped for a while, Yide mentioned this year's New Year's Eve banquet, and the Empress Dowager mentioned that the remaining concubines of the late emperor hadn't been happy for a long time, and wanted to invite them to the birthday banquet.

It's okay for others, but Concubine Xin and Empress Dowager Renxian during the late Emperor's time have always been at odds, and since the emperor ascended the throne, the two have never met each other again.

If she is invited, Empress Dowager Renxian will definitely lose face, but if she is not invited, people will always talk about her incompetence as a queen.

Unable to make a choice, Wan Lai thought for a while, and then said: "Grand Concubine Xin was just a concubine of Xin when the first emperor was present, and the honor of being a concubine was only given to her by the Empress Dowager when he was named a concubine of the previous court. People have been at odds with the Empress Dowager for many years. Seeing that even her appearance is now completely forgotten, the eldest sister just invited her here and bestowed her as the last concubine. In this way, it not only saves her face, but also makes the queen mother understand the elder sister's intentions."

Yide hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "This is the only plan for the present, but she is a hot-tempered person, and after a few glasses of wine, she is always worried that she will lose her sense of proportion and make trouble. Then the Japanese palace and the emperor Sitting together, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are in positions of control, and you have to take care of many things for me."

Wan Lai said: "Elder Sister, don't worry, it should be like this."

Lin Lan also smiled and said: "Left and right we all stared at her. Seeing that the momentum was not right, we ordered the palace servants to send her back. After all, the emperor and the empress dowager are still there, so she can't make any noise."

The matter was finally decided, and San Shun came to report to him outside the house, the emperor had left the morning court and was on his way to Kunning Palace to have lunch with the empress.

Yide calmly raised his hand and ordered her to back down, Wanyu immediately said joyfully: "I'm afraid the emperor has something to say to elder sister, so let's not get involved." She raised her eyebrows at Linlan and winked, the two All the people left together.

When the emperor came, Yide was sitting quietly by the Ling window, taking advantage of the bright sunlight outside to watch the dishes, song and dance rehearsal for the family banquet on New Year's Eve.

Seeing the emperor enter, it is considered respectful after all, and he got up to welcome the emperor to take his seat.

The emperor glanced at the score on the case, and asked lightly: "The empress has worked hard these days. I heard that the empress dowager asked the first emperor and concubines to line up for the New Year's Eve banquet. Are they all arranged properly?"

Yide gave an indifferent 'hmm', then looked through the score without saying a word.

The emperor had a half-hearted smile: "After all these days, are you still angry with me?"

"The concubine dare not." Yide lowered his eyebrows and carefully read the scroll in his hand, his tone was as cold as Liang Xiabing.

The sleeping hall is slightly cool, and a Fengchuanyunxi incense burner standing in the middle of the hall is slowly exhaling thick white smoke, not a "cracking" sound.

The 'Xianyunxiang' burning in the furnace is a spice Yide is used to, but it smells very pungent at this time.

The emperor abruptly snatched the sheet music from her hand, and slammed it on the table: "The queen is always so opposed to me, how can I settle the past with you? I know that you resent me in your heart, what do you do these days?" I see many things, but I can't bear to criticize them harshly. No matter what, I owe you everything. Tell me, what do I need to do to compensate you a little bit, so that you and I are no longer so estranged?"

Yide raised a pair of clear eyes, looking straight at the emperor: "Anything is fine?"

The emperor sighed and nodded silently.Yide's eyes were only cold, and he said slowly: "Then, the concubine asks the emperor to build a family temple for the concubine's mother's family, and make the concubine's biological mother, Shu Shujueluo, the first-rank wife."

After saying this, the emperor's face suddenly changed, and his face was full of astonishment.

Ye Bilong was a guilty minister, and it would be a great honor to return to his official position until death.

But if you want to build a family temple, it means that the emperor punished Ye Bilong in the past, it was his own fault for harming Zhongliang, not Ye Bilong's attachment to Aobai to disrupt the government.

Furthermore, Shu Shu feels that the Luo family is Ye Bilong's concubine. From ancient times to the present, how can a concubine be established as a precedent for a first-rank imperial wife?

Even Empress Renxiao was born in a famous family like the Hesheli family, and her biological mother was only the title of the second-rank wife.

Yide's request is all to force the emperor into a dead end that was criticized by the previous court.

The emperor let out a long sigh, and his tone was as light as a cloud of smoke wafting from the incense burner: "The queen's request is to deliberately make things difficult for me."

"Whether Ama did anything harmful to the Qing Dynasty in the past, the emperor and his concubines knew it well. Whether he was attached to Oboi, or whether he wanted to commit crimes, there is no excuse, the concubine did not want to mention it. Now the concubine is just asking the emperor to replace the concubine Ama as the heir of the loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, and to rectify the name of the concubine's mother's family, so is this considered embarrassing the emperor?"

A few words, two glances at each other without words.

After a long time, the emperor nodded heavily, and said helplessly, "I promise you."

Yide smiled alone, and said again: "The emperor is wise. Then please invite the emperor to add officials to the concubine's mother's family. Niu Hulu's family has declined in the past, and many sincere and ambitious people have been buried. The concubines look at it. Hu Lu and Wu Lu are available people, and they can be worthy of the post of the second-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites②."
