Qing Palace - Biography of Concubine Wan

Chapter 113 But the relationship (4)

It was night, and there was an imperial decree that Fulin would stay in the Chonghua Palace. Qingru knew that Xuanye's matter could not be delayed, so she planned to tell the truth when she came. She took the clothes that she ordered someone to take from her brother Put it on for Xuan Ye personally, and said: "Your Huang Ama will come later, you must be obedient!"

"Will Huang Ama really come?" Xuan Ye asked a little uneasy, his small face seemed a little nervous: "I haven't seen Huang Ama for a long time, does it mean he doesn't remember Xuan Ye anymore?"

Qing Ru froze, and then smiled and said: "How come, Huang Ama is just busy with state affairs, so I don't have time to see you, you are Huang Ama's biological son, he will not dislike you, don't mess around think!"

"Oh!" Xuan Ye nodded half-understanding, and when Qing Ru fastened her belt, she asked again: "I will call you Aunt from now on!" He still refused to call others Er Niang.

"Of course, you can call her whatever you like!" Qing Ru was not displeased by this, but felt that Xuan Ye knew how to remember his biological mother at a young age, which is really commendable.

When Qingru finished her clothes, Fulin also arrived, Qingru took Xuanye's hand and said, "Let's go to meet your Empress Mama!" Xuanye nodded, straightened Qingru's waist small body.

The elder and the younger arrived at the gate of the palace, and saluted Fulin who had just got off the sedan chair: "The concubine has met the emperor, the emperor is auspicious!" On the side Xuan Ye also saluted according to the rules: "My minister kowtowed to the emperor, it is auspicious to the emperor! "

Fulin didn't forget this son, and he didn't seem surprised at his appearance at all, but responded lightly: "Xuan Ye is here too?!" After waving Qingru to get up, he said: "Previously Concubine Ning and Concubine Ning I said that you brought Xuan Ye back to the palace, I still don't believe it, but I didn't expect it to be so, why, you want to take Xuan Ye under your knees?"

Qingru waited for Fulin to sit down, then smiled and said: "It's true that nothing can be hidden from the emperor, the ministers and concubines have such intentions, but I don't know what the emperor wants?"

Fulin stared at Qingru, squinted his eyes, leaned over and said: "You don't know who his mother is, do you? You know what answer I will give you, but you still bring him? You are challenging I?" There was a strong sense of displeasure in the words, and there was even some annoyance in it.

But Qingru seemed not afraid, not because she was not afraid of Fulin getting angry, but because she didn't have much disgust in her eyes when she saw Fulin looking at Xuanye.

She said gently: "The concubine dare not make the emperor angry, but seeing the second elder brother bullying the third elder brother today, the concubine couldn't bear it for a while, so I brought him back, the emperor, regardless of the third elder brother's forehead What big mistake mother made has nothing to do with him, the child is innocent, he is only five years old, is the emperor really planning to let him fend for himself in elder brother's house?"

"Who told him to have a vicious mother-in-law? No one else is to blame!" The death of Dong Exianglan was a forbidden place in Fulin's heart. He never wanted to think about it if he could not touch it. , whose fault is this?

"My Er Niang is not a bad person!" Xuan Ye, who had been watching them talking, suddenly said this, he does not allow anyone to speak ill of Er Niang, even Huang Ama!

Fulin glanced at Xuan Ye and didn't speak. He used to like this son very much, he was smart, studious and energetic, but now, how can he deal with him.

Qingru was not sure what the expression on Fulin's face meant, and was afraid that he would blame Xuan Ye, so she hurriedly said: "The emperor forgives the sin, third elder brother is still young and doesn't understand many things, don't be angry with him!"

Fulin shook his head, and stretched out his hand towards Xuanye, Qingru thought that he was going to hit Xuanye, but unexpectedly, he just pulled him to the front, looked at him carefully, it seems that their father and son haven't seen each other for a long time, Thinking this way, Fang realized that he owed his son a lot. A child who has no one to take care of him might suffer some kind of hardship in the elder brother's institution. The second elder brother's bullying was just one of them.

The crime is not as good as a son, let alone his own son. After thinking about it, Fulin's eyes gradually softened, and he raised his head and said to Qingru: "Are you really going to adopt him?"

"The concubine and the third elder brother are very close, and I really want to take him under my knees, please allow the emperor!" Seeing that Fulin seemed to be shaken, Qingru pleaded again.

Fulin didn't respond, but asked Xuan Ye in a slow voice: "Are you willing to follow Concubine Wan?"

Xuanye looked back at Qingru, nodded, and Fulin suddenly smiled while supporting Xuanye's shoulder: "Well, from now on, you will follow Concubine Wan, she will be your mother-in-law!"

Qing Ru was taken aback by such a quick promise, she was displeased just now, but now she is happy again: "Your Majesty..." She cried out worriedly, but did not thank her immediately.

Fulin stood up, with his hands behind his back, a golden dragon with teeth and claws soaring on his royal blue clothes, as if he was about to break through the sky, the moon was bright outside, and the stars were dotted: "Actually, I thought a lot about it before I came here. Among the two sons and daughters, I actually owe them a lot. As you said, the child is innocent, and Concubine Tong made a big mistake, but Xuanye should not be burdened by it. As a prince, he is looked down upon by others. Neng'an, you are calm, you know how to read and understand etiquette, you abide by your duties, and you never make troubles in vain, it is most suitable for you to raise Xuan Ye, but you will have to work hard in the future!"

"Your Majesty..." This time, it was not doubt but emotion. Qing Ru had a deeper understanding of Fulin with his words just now. Although he was sometimes extreme and stubborn, he did not take his anger out on others casually. After all, the emperor was not ordinary. Man, it is very good that he can empathize so far.

Now that Fulin agreed, the next thing would be much easier. On the second day, he issued an imperial decree, Xiaoyu Liugong, and the third elder brother Xuan Ye was raised by Chonghua Palace Concubine Wan, and he was allowed not to return. brother so!

As for Xuanye's only willingness to call Qingru Auntie, Fu Linchu didn't like it, but Qingru said that it was just a title, there was no need to force him, as long as she treated her sincerely, she would be called "Auntie" sooner or later .

Mo Wan was the person who single-handedly facilitated this matter. When she heard the imperial decree, she hugged Dian Dian and smiled slightly, stroking a box made of rosewood with her empty hand, like caressing a lover's face, tenderly extreme.

This incident did not cause any waves in the harem, because it had nothing to do with them, so many people chose to stand on the sidelines, and the one who was happy was probably the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. Among her grandchildren, she liked the most This is what she is optimistic about. Now that Qingru has adopted him, she is very happy, and at the same time, she has a little more affection for Qingru. Perhaps the most correct thing she has done in her life is to support Qingru to become Fulin favorite concubine!
The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already May. It has been more than half a month since Qingru adopted Xuan Ye. After many days of taking care of and getting along with her, I saw Xuan Ye getting closer to him, and his temper gradually recovered. Some are lively, and Qingru is very happy to see them.

Apart from this, she embroidered phoenixes with Shuiyin and sent them up in time for the Empress's Qianqiu Festival. After these two incidents, she forgot about Zipei for a while, and Zipei only attended bedtime a few times. Lin doesn't seem to be very interested in her, so she has never been promoted.

May has gradually started to heat up, much hotter than usual, which seems to indicate that this summer will be particularly hot, and the concubines also have one more thing in their hands besides the handkerchief, the round fan!

This day was as clear as nothing else, so I asked someone to invite Shuiyin to embroider at her place. This kind of embroidery was originally something that most girls would do, but Shuiyin was ingenious and wanted to embroider something different, so the embroidery was very special. After a lot of effort, the two of them sat side by side in front of the nearly one-foot-long embroidery frame, concentrating on embroidering the tail of the phoenix. There was a plate of fresh fruits beside the embroidery frame. It was not time to use ice, so they had never been chilled. But it was taken out of the well water, so it was very cold. At the same time, one person on each side was playing a fan, and the cool breeze blew on the two of them. For a while, there was silence in the Bilin Hall.

After a long time of embroidering, Ru felt his eyes were very sore, and often couldn't find the place to sew the needle, so he stopped, took the towel beside him to wipe the sweat from his palms, and chanted to Shui who was still threading the needle: "Sister, you are tired too, stop and eat some melons and fruits. Anyway, this picture is almost embroidered, and it will definitely be finished before the Queen's birthday. There is no rush."

Shui Yin straightened her waist after finishing the embroidery and said with a smile: "You were the one who said to embroider at the beginning, and now you are the one who said there is no rush. If you dare, I will help you!"

Qing Ru inserted an apple into her mouth with a bamboo stick and said, "Okay, if you still complain, at most, I'll say that you embroidered it, so the Queen will reward you more?"

The two played around for a while, seeing their maids also pursed their lips with a smile, Shui Yin bit the apple and said, "By the way, how is Yue Ling's dance practice recently, is there anything that needs improvement?"

"Don't worry about that, we still don't know how Yueling's dance is going, I guarantee that it will definitely open everyone's eyes!"

"Then how are you going to let her play?"

"Of course it's to surprise, I'm going to surprise the emperor!" Qing Ru said mysteriously, it seemed that she had already planned in her heart.

Shui Yin smiled and poohed: "It's just that you have a lot of ideas, but Yue Ling can be favored, so forget our worries!"

This time, Qingru didn't agree with her words, instead she said with a lot of worry: "I'm afraid more things will happen after this worry is settled!"

Hearing this, Shuiyin also suppressed her smile, and the brightly colored silk threads she held in her hand for comparison suddenly lost their luster: "We can only take one step at a time now, but fortunately the four of us are still the same as before. It’s also rare.”

After a pause, he continued: "Speaking of which, there have been a lot of things going on in your palace recently, one after another, and now you have adopted the third elder brother. I really don't know how you persuaded the emperor to agree. You must know that the emperor is I hate Concubine Tong to death!"

Qingru swallowed the apple in her mouth without saying a word. Although Fulin can be called a good emperor, the emperor is always moody. Last time she was just a coincidence. Ye's attitude was still intermittent.

When Qingru flicked her sleeves and stood up, she accidentally swept the jade bowl containing melons and fruits, and a small piece of water stained her sleeves, but she didn't care, she just glanced at it, "Sister!"

"En?" Shui Yin looked up and waited for Qing Ru to continue.

"I've thought about the matter of Empress Xian and Zi Pei carefully. There is one thing in common between the two things, and that is Li Quan!" She said what she had been thinking these days, and talked with her Among the few good people, Yue Ling is weak and straightforward, only Shui Yin can discuss matters.

"Li Quan? This person is indeed suspicious. He was involved in the deaths of the Empress and Concubine Tong. Now, as you said, he has hooked up with Zipei. If you say that he was unintentional, no ghost will believe it!" Shui Yin road.

Qingru nodded: "I just suspect that he has a connection with the person behind the scenes, and now it seems that that person seems to be paying attention to me, causing people in my palace to rebel. If we don't find him out, I'm afraid a few It's all bad luck."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Send someone to check Li Quan's background, even if they can't find out everything, it will help to some extent, what do you think?"

Shui Yin pondered for a while and said: "This is a way, I remember that there are records of every eunuch and maid in the House of Internal Affairs, let's go and see it now!"

She was about to get up, but was pushed back on the chair by Qingru. Faced with her puzzled gaze, Qingru didn't explain much, but took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to her. Shuiyin took it and looked at it. , I saw that it read: Li Quan, entered the palace in the third year of Shunzhi, was born in the capital, his parents died, he had no brothers and sisters, and he was alone.

It turned out that she had already sent someone to fetch it earlier. After Shui Yin read these few sentences, she didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but she couldn't help but feel strange after reading it. She took out a piece of paper and said, "You also think it's too much." Simple, right?"

"It's not only simple, but also very general. I'm afraid someone deliberately arranged it for him. Do you want to follow the clues from this point and find the source?"

"That's right! But this matter needs someone to investigate it together outside the palace. I found out that the person in charge of these things was called Wang Daxing. He left the palace not long after finishing this matter. It has been almost ten years. , his hometown is Hunan, I would like to ask you, Ma, to look for this person in Hunan. On the other hand, since Li Quan claims to be from the capital, there must be some traces of him in the capital, and if someone arranges for him to enter the palace , then this person must not be an ordinary person!" Qing Ru said coldly.

"You have a good idea. According to the ability of your family and my family, we can definitely find out some, but the problem is that we are concubines, how do we send a letter out of the palace?"

"I've thought about this too, so I sent two trustworthy servants out of the palace in the name of the queen's birthday gift!"

Shui Yin thought about it for a while, and there was only this way, and she agreed: "Okay, just as you said, I will write the letter when I go back and give it to Zhilan to take it out of the palace!" Zhilan is the maid she brought into the palace, Most of all, I believed it, but just in case, Qingru asked Zhilan to go to Suofu first after leaving the palace, and Suofu sent someone to send a letter to Hunan, and Qingru sent Zijin out.

Everything is going on in secret. On the surface, Qingru and Shuiyin are still the same as before, not revealing anything to the outside world, and even Rixi and Yueling are hiding it. Qingru's original intention is not to bring unnecessary trouble to them, However, he kept this secret unintentionally, so that Rixi didn't know about it!
At this time, another incident also spread to the capital, to the Forbidden City.

Suo'etu was attacked in Guangdong, his life and death are unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown. After his wife Manxue got the news, regardless of her own safety and everyone's opposition, she went to Guangdong alone to find her husband. She firmly believed that Suo'etu would not die!

When Qingru got the news from Fulin, she was stunned and couldn't hold herself back for a long time. She had already lost an older brother. Could it be that God would take away the only one? There will be no one to serve them anymore, and their grief is so clear that it is unimaginable!
Although she knew that Guangdong was a dangerous place, she never thought that it would be so dangerous. If she knew it, she would ask Fulin to take back her life, but it was too late to say anything now!

As for Man Xue, she didn't know whether she should be happy for her brother marrying such a loving wife, or angry at her behavior of acting alone, she could only hope that as Man Xue said, brother, you must live!

Fulin comforted Qingru, and told her that she had sent someone to secretly protect Manxue to ensure her safety. Qingru choked up and couldn't speak, but just grabbed Fulin's arm vigorously, and Fulin didn't say it hurt. Just letting her hold on, he is also sad, he owes the Suo family who has always been loyal!
After that, news about Manxue's whereabouts continued to come, but Suo'etu was always as if nothing had happened. in prayer every night.
