The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 589 Persuading the Emperor to Conquer
Zhuo Lan was a little panicked when she heard this, she hurriedly left her seat and got up, half-bowed and said in a blessing way: "Your Majesty's words are serious, concubines are immoral and incompetent, and have not yet given birth to a son and a half for the emperor, how dare they live together?" Palace lord?"

"What are you talking about?" Wanyu said with a faint smile: "This palace has no sons and made a noble concubine. In the past, the Tong family also had no sons and made a royal concubine. Even my elder sister, Empress Xiaozhao, had no sons and made her a successor." If Chen Guiren said that he has no virtue and incompetence, wouldn't he be mocking all of them?"

Zhuo Lan was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she leaned over to kneel: "My concubine made a mistake, and I hope my mother will forgive me."

Wan Yu hurriedly supported her, and kept shaking her head: "I joked with you, and you became serious. The canonization ceremony is scheduled for the first day of July, and the Ministry of Rites has already started preparations. Now you can't escape even if you want to." .”

Zhuo Lan didn't even dare to think about such a great gift, but now she suddenly got it and was naturally delighted.

Tears welled up in her eyelashes, she took two steps back and kowtowed solemnly to Wanyu: "My concubine, thank you for your kindness."

Wannai said: "Get up quickly, you are so reserved, I don't feel comfortable talking to you, do you?"

After all, Ming Shuangruo helped her up, looked at her, and smiled sweetly at each other.

This day, Zhuo Lan was kept in the palace for lunch before ordering Jinli to send her back to the palace. After Jinli turned back and entered the Changchun Palace again, he was holding two green stones in his hand to present to Wanyu. .

Wan Yu took it and played it carefully in her hand, then said calmly, "What did you find out?"

Jin Li said: "The piece held by the empress in her left hand was found near the Yuhu where Elder Brother Shi fell, and the other piece was found at the other side of the Yuhu."

Wan Yu touched the moss growing on the stone, and found that the moss on the right side was sticky and slippery, while the left side seemed to have been cleaned up, only a little remained: "Have you asked the Flower and Bird Division? What do people say?"

"Everyone in the palace on duty said that the moss on the edge of Yuhu Lake was cleaned only two days ago, and it will definitely not regenerate so much in such a short period of time."

"Very good!" Wan Yu slammed the stone on the table with all her strength, and said in a solemn voice with frowned eyebrows: "The man couldn't bear it after all."

Shuangruo added tea from the side and brought it to Wanyu: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Elder Brother Ten had to go to Yuhu to play every day after class. If he is willing, everyone will know about him." The whereabouts of the whereabouts. It seems that the person made a plan in advance, and deliberately replaced the stone with a moss-covered stone, in order to let the ten brothers fall into the water and take their lives."

Wanyu occasionally felt a headache, and pressed her forehead with her knuckles: "That place is remote, why did Concubine Rong and Chen Guiren go there?"

Shuang Ruo went behind Wanyu and massaged the acupoints on her forehead, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Guiren invited Concubine Rong to visit the Imperial Garden with her, and Concubine Rong was invited to go with her. Chen Guiren's status is lower, and she followed her all the way. Walking behind Concubine Rong, it seems that the two of them happened to go to that place, so it's not certain."

Wan Yu looked coldly at the increasingly hot sun outside the window, and said coldly: "I never believed in such a coincidence in this world. It's just that I really can't see which of the two of them is playing a show."

"My servant asked in private. Others saw the incident clearly that day. If Concubine Rong hadn't called Elder Brother Shi, Elder Brother Ten would not have lost his mind. After the incident, she only knew how to call for help, but it was Chen Guiren Seeing this situation, she went to save people without even thinking about it. Thinking about it this way, of the two of them, Chen Guiren is the less suspicious."

Wan Lai remained silent, got up and whispered a few words into Jin Li's ear deliberately not to let Shuang Ruo hear, then got up and walked outside the hall.

Shuang Ruo was wondering what she was going to do, when she suddenly saw Wan Yu fall forward.

Shuang Ruo was startled, hurriedly said "Mother be careful" and quickly reached out to help, but it was too late.

On the contrary, Jinli strode forward to stabilize Wanyu, which made Shuangruo so frightened that she stroked her chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

"See?" Wanyu looked back at Shuangruo and asked.

Shuang Ruo thought for a moment, and suddenly realized: "My lady means that when things happen suddenly, people should call for help first and then save others out of human nature. I think that just now, my lady told Jinli in advance that you are going to fall forward. He knew it early in the morning. So I didn't shout out, but directly rescued the empress, then..."

Wanyu nodded with a half-smile and said: "It's just that it's just a fall on the flat ground. You must know that the land where Yin's accident happened is the bottomless Yuhu Lake. How could she not even want to jump into it? Besides, she is not familiar with water, it is very likely So he died. I don’t know how good a person can be, but he will never go beyond human nature because of goodness.”

"So, why does the empress still persuade the emperor to make her a concubine?"

"If it were her, what was the purpose of performing such a bitter game? Zuo was just to win Ben Gong's trust. Making her a concubine would make her feel that Ben Gong had let her guard down and fully accepted her kindness." , I believed her. Secondly, I want to see what else she can do in the future."

When the words fell, Wanyu ordered Jinli again: "Look for someone to keep an eye on her, go there and see who has done what, and report it to me. Also, send someone to her mother's house to check her identity." , I always feel that she is not as simple as we see."

With such doubts in his heart, until the day when Zhuo Lan was concubine on the first day of July, he still didn't see anything wrong with her.

Although she is a concubine, the ceremony of canonization is very dignified, and even the emperor spared time to come and watch the ceremony in person.

The emperor bestowed the title of "Jia" as Zhuo Lan's title, and the word "Jia" is also translated as "good, beautiful", which means Jia concubine.

It's the day, and I'm bestowed with the seat of the Lord of Yongshou Palace.

On the day she became a concubine, the emperor ordered her to sleep in according to the regulations.

Zhuo Lan turned sideways and lay on the emperor's thick shoulder blades, and said softly, "Is the emperor worried?"

The emperor said 'hmm': "In the current situation, it is unavoidable for the Qing Dynasty to go to war with Junggar. Galdan is really deceiving people too much, and I don't want to bear him any longer!"

"The emperor doesn't look down on anyone, just send troops to conquer. With the current grand occasion of our Qing Dynasty, why be afraid of him, a barbarian tribe? And concubines beat him if they think they want to fight. Galdan proclaims himself emperor, Openly challenge the emperor. But the world knows that you are the only one in the world, and this concubine feels that if you personally conquer with the dragon's power, then the Junggar will be defeated and all will return to our Qing Dynasty."

The emperor was silent, and Zhuo Lan realized that she might have said something wrong, so she hurriedly said: "My concubine made a slip of the tongue, the emperor forgives me."

"It's nothing." The emperor stopped her into his arms and squeezed her thin earlobes: "You rarely say such strong words."

Zhuo Lan smiled shyly, and said softly: "A concubine can't allow others to tarnish the emperor's prestige. Not even half of it."

The emperor hugged Zhuo Lan even tighter, and his breathing gradually became steady: "Silly girl. It's getting late, let's rest earlier."
