The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 747 Mulan Autumn ([-]) ①
After the matter of abolishing the crown prince was over, Wannai was in a bad mood thinking about the incident of the emperor, so she rushed to visit Qianqing Palace.

But he didn't want Fang to go out of the palace gate, so he saw Liang Jiugong leading the sedan chair, and when he saw Wannai, he gave a slap in the face and said, "Is the concubine De concubine going out of the palace?"

Wan Yu smiled and raised the silk, and swept it in the direction of the Qing palace: "I was thinking about going to see the emperor, why is your father-in-law here at this time?"

Liang Jiugong sighed happily, and said with a flattering smile on his shoulders: "If you say that the empress and the emperor are of one mind, the emperor is thinking of the empress and ordered the servants to come to welcome him, so his thoughts are gathered in one place."

Wan Lai smiled and nodded, and let Liang Jiugong serve her on the sedan chair.

The imperial sedan chair was extremely stable, and I didn't feel the slightest jolt when sitting on it, but I arrived at the Qianqing Palace after a cup of tea.

Wanyi was served by Liang Jiugong when she entered the room, but she saw vats of white lotus planted in the courtyard of the Qianqing Palace in the cold winter, and then the earth dragon supplied warm water, attracting the new lotus of the white lotus to bloom, and the green leaves could seep out of the water Come.

Can't help marveling, picked up a flower on the tip of his nose and sniffed lightly, and asked casually: "Excellent thought, who thought of it?"

Liang Jiugong replied with a smile: "The concubine Hui has a clever mind, and she came up with the solution."

"Concubine Hui?" Wan Yu sneered coldly, raised her eyebrows and looked at Liang Jiugong: "How is Big Brother?"

Liang Jiugong said: "I was imprisoned in the palace, and there were guards watching. I feel like I'm in prison. How can I get better?" .”

As he was talking, seeing Wannai cast a sidelong glance at him, Fang knew that disaster came out of his mouth, so he patted his face lightly, and changed his words: "Look at this lowly mouth of this slave, who actually picks up the wrong words. Big Brother It’s your own fault, you can’t blame others.”

Wan Lai smiled wanly, seeing that the blossoming lotus flowers were tender and blended into the snow scene in the courtyard, but she couldn't see the color, so she ordered: "What does the emperor say?"

"The lotus was moved early in the morning. The emperor has not left the Qianqing Palace today, so he has not seen it."

The cold wind passed, and the lotus fragrance was blowing towards the face.Wanyu lowered her eyes and smiled, and ordered in a low voice: "The concubine Liang passed away within a year, and the crown prince was deposed within a month, both of which are heartbreaking things for the emperor. In winter, the snow is bleached, and these white lotuses are enshrined. Don't you feel bad luck just looking at it?"

"This"

"According to my palace, if my father-in-law doesn't want to offend the emperor, he should immediately remove these white lotuses. Qianqing Palace is the residence of the emperor, how can it be decorated with all the plain colors? When was the plain white in the Forbidden City used?" At most, isn’t your father-in-law still clear?”

Liang Jiugong was forced into a cold sweat by Wanyan's words, and immediately ordered the palace servants to cut off the root of the blossoming white lotus and throw it out of the Qianqing Palace.

Wan Yu looked at the scene in front of her, and then she showed some approval to Liang Jiugong, and said softly: "My father-in-law is the best at observing the holy will, so don't let others delay you. Concubine Hui entrusts her pity to her son with the winter lotus, If the father-in-law sells a favor to her, it also depends on who the favor is sold to and who will be offended."

Liang Jiugong was so frightened that he didn't even dare to take a look at Wan Lai, so he lowered his eyebrows and nodded: "The empress De Fei is reprimanding me."

Wan You laughed loudly, and without talking to him, went straight to the hall.

When he entered, the emperor was sitting leisurely on the warm seat in the bedroom, reading a picture scroll.

If you look closely, you can see that it is "Kangxi Southern Tour Map" painted by Wang Hui.On it, there is a small portrait of Yinti and Yinreng walking together.

Wan Yu watched the painting with the emperor for a while, then smiled and said: "The emperor is very interested today, how did you find this painting?"

The emperor smiled lightly and said: "Wang Hui's painting is very good, the brushwork is free and easy, and the ink is sparse and clear. No matter how others imitate it, they will not be able to capture his essence. I heard that he was seriously ill the other day, and I ordered someone to give him a hundred gold coins. When I went to Yushan twice, I thought of this person and this painting, so I went out to have a look."

Wan Lai naturally understood, how could he think of Wang Hui?Seeing that his eyes have been fixed on Yinti and Yinreng without moving away, it is self-evident who he is thinking about.

She smiled kindly, and said bluntly: "The emperor is thinking of the elder brother and the second elder brother."

The emperor sighed softly: "A rebellious son is not virtuous and unfilial, what are you doing thinking about them?" After saying that, he rolled up the scroll and handed it to Li Jian to take it down so that he could keep it.

Wan Lai looked at the emperor with bright eyebrows, and persuaded: "As a parent, everything you think about is for your children. The concubine only cares about the four sons, the tenth elder brother, and the fourteenth elder brother. They are already working hard every day. Feeling very grateful Tired, let alone the emperor. It is a blessing to have a big family and great success, but if this blessing becomes hostile, it will really hurt people. The emperor always thinks about the unfilial nature of the two of them. How can he be in a good mood? People, there are not a few princes who are loyal and filial to you. You acted for them and alienated many of your own sons, doesn't it mean that you will give up eating because of choking?"

The emperor smiled when he heard the words, and held up his graceful hand: "other people would never dare to say these words to me. Even if I said them, I would be annoyed and reprimanded. But somehow, when I said them from your mouth, I But not half-tempered."

Wan Yu shook her head with a smile, and said humbly: "The concubine is getting old and confused. The emperor made a slip of the tongue, so the emperor doesn't blame him."

The emperor took advantage of the situation and embraced Wanyu in his arms, with a soft light of infinite affection in his eyes: "I especially remember that when you first entered the palace, you often asked me why you think the relationship between the two is good. I answered that our two hearts depend on each other, and you add a white head Let's grow old together. Now you and I have fulfilled all these words."

He fixedly looked at Wanyu, seeing her soft skin, thick black hair, less hair, light wrinkles, looking at her appearance in her early thirties, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I'm getting old. Wan'er is still young." appearance."

Over the years, Bai Changqing has been taking good care of his body to keep his face aging slowly, and his body strong and healthy inside. Even Tiankui did not fade away until he was over fifty, so he naturally looks much younger than his actual age.

But what about the emperor?

Bai Changqing took "meticulous care" and only treated the symptoms but not the root cause of the disease. On the surface, he looked innocent, but in fact he was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

Wanyu caressed her cheek and smiled calmly: "Look at what the emperor said, it seems like the concubine has used the immortality elixir and turned into a god. But it's not as hard as the emperor, who has been idling for a long time, and looks like a god." Just take it easy."

The inside of the hall is extremely warm, and the Ling window is slightly opened at a corner, and the wind that passes through is somewhat warm.

The emperor looked at Wanyu with a thin smile, and unconsciously kissed her on the forehead: "I don't have the blessing of you, so I won't be able to enjoy leisure."

Wan Lai shook her head and persuaded: "Now that the Qing Dynasty is peaceful and the people are peaceful, internal and external troubles are all eliminated, it is the emperor who forces himself to be diligent in his administration, and does not want to relax for a while. Yichen and concubine look at it, after the severe winter, the emperor will enter the Changchun in March. Living in a garden in spring. When the summer heat is over in July and the weather is cool in August, I will go to the Mulan paddock for autumn and invite all the ministers and sons to have fun together. Wouldn't it be nice?"
