Qingxi Palace Crossing Jingfenghua

Chapter 200

After the full moon banquet was over, Kangxi and the Empress Dowager, who were handling government affairs in the Qianqing Palace, were sent away first, and then the imperial concubine and the other three concubines were sent away. Yu sent them off.

In the end, Guo Luoluo waited for the others, because the gifts Mrs. Guo Luoluo brought into the palace were too expensive, although she didn't care about these things at all, but Xiu Yu didn't want to give up because of these gifts. The sister-in-law felt uncomfortable and rewarded some valuable things.

After some entertainment, Xiu Yu only felt a little tired mentally and mentally.

"Your Majesty, are you tired? This servant will rub it for you." Yun Kui stayed beside Xiu Yu to serve Yun Kui. Tang told Mrs. Guo Luoluo.

"Ben Gong is a little dizzy, you rub it for Ben Gong." Xiu Yu lay on the warm couch with her eyes closed and fell asleep.

"Your Majesty..." Wisteria came in holding a red lacquered wooden plate with one hand.

"Shhh, the empress is squinting." Yun Kui waved and softly stopped Wisteria from continuing.

"I'm not asleep, so let's talk about something."

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager sent you a maidservant who sent you a gift." He said and brought the red lacquered wooden plate containing the gift list to him.

Xiu Yu took the gift list and looked at it carefully, and saw that the first line of the gift list said embroidered silk and beads inlaid with rubies, seven phoenixes and red gold hairpins, Xiu Yu was surprised and frowned.What does the Empress Dowager mean by this? Why did she suddenly send these things over.These things can only be used by a noble concubine, how can she use them as a concubine.Although it is said that the things rewarded by the emperor, the empress dowager, and the empress dowager are not restricted by the palace rules and status, concubines can wear them, but it also depends on the situation.

The empress dowager bestowed the seven-phoenix golden hairpin that only noble concubines could wear when her son was full moon. There are too many hidden meanings here. If it is a reward for her contribution to childbearing, she should not be rewarded with the seven-phoenix red gold hairpin that is made of silk and beads inlaid with rubies; Isn't rewarding the silk and beads inlaid with rubies and seven phoenix red gold hairpins implying that she wants to give her a promotion for her meritorious service in childbirth, or has other meanings? It's hot potato.

Looking at this gift list immediately ruined Xiu Yu's good mood, but added a lot of troubles and entanglements.

She had already seen that the Empress Dowager didn't want to see her, and sure enough, she came to embarrass her on the happy day of her son's full moon.

Thinking of the empress dowager bestowing such a gift, I'm afraid that all the concubines in the harem will know about it, and I don't know how many people will be jealous; I'm afraid that the already uneventful days will be even more sad.

But now that the balance of the harem has been fixed, Kangxi will not allow the status of concubines to change easily. Now Xiu Yu only hopes that the imperial concubine and the other three concubines can see the situation clearly and not be dazzled by jealousy, but this is only her Think about it for yourself, from now on, I'm afraid she will put more energy in preventing more calculations and schemes in the harem.Thinking of guarding against thieves for a thousand days, Xiu Yu had the urge to simply take the child and run away from the palace.

Xiu Yu is worried, but Mrs. Guo Luoluo, who has already left the palace, doesn't know that people outside the palace can't see things clearly. Give rich rewards.

When Mrs. Guo Luoluo and others returned to the mansion, the sky was already dim and dark. As soon as the carriage stopped at the gate of the mansion, Erle and Etenyi came out in a hurry. Seeing the door opened, the two brothers stepped forward to support Mrs. Guo Luoluo get off.

"Emiang, you are back."

"Ouch! Why did you come out? What's the matter? Could something have happened at home?" Mrs. Guo Luoluo became anxious when she heard the anxious voices of the two sons.

"Er Niang, don't worry, nothing can happen at home, but Er Niang went to the palace to meet Mafa and Ama, and she is still waiting to know if Empress has any orders."

Nowadays, who in the Guo Luoluo family would dare not to pay attention to Concubine Jing, and Concubine Jing is already the pride of the women of the Guo Luoluo family.As Mafa said, he was able to gain a firm foothold in the harem within two years of entering the palace, give birth to a child and keep the child to be promoted, and spent four years fighting in the harem all the way from a small Chang Zai to Jing Jing. As a concubine, not only did she keep the child but she also loved her for a long time. Concubine Jing is an extraordinary woman.They are also proud of being the direct brothers of Concubine Jing.Now Empress Concubine Jing has three sons and two daughters who are unmatched in the entire harem. It seems that they are already enjoying the rise and glory of the Guo Luoluo family.

"You all go back and rest first." Mrs. Guo Luoluo asked her daughters-in-law to go back to their respective courtyards, while she and her two sons went to the old man's courtyard.

"Greetings to the old man, sir."

"Sit, eldest daughter-in-law." Since Mrs. Guo Luoluo's two daughters became empresses in the palace, and the two sons are both very promising, Mrs. Guo Luoluo's status in Guo Luoluo's family has been soaring. Guo Luoluo and Sanguanbao didn't dare to make faces with her any more.

"How are you, Concubine Jing and my brothers? How are your concubine Yipin and my brothers? What is your order?"

Although Concubine Jing is more valued, Concubine Yi has never been neglected in the clan, not only because Concubine Yi is a concubine who is only lower than Concubine, but more importantly, Concubine Yi also has two elder brothers under her knees, who are the harem Among them, apart from Concubine Jing, the only concubine with two elder brothers under her knees is also the pride of Guo Luoluo.The Guo Luoluo family sent two women into the palace, both of them became empresses and both had elder brothers. Looking at the entire Manchurian nobles, although they are compared with the Guo Luoluo family.

"My lady and my brothers are all very well. My lady asked how the family is doing well, and my daughter-in-law told her one by one. My lady is very relieved. However, my lady seems to have some objections to today's gift..." Mrs. Guo Luoluo said to Xiu Yu said everything he said and reacted one by one, and asked the old man in doubt.

"Old master, what do you mean by this, my lady?"

The old man pondered for a moment, and he probably knew what Concubine Jing meant.

"Today's ceremony is indeed inappropriate. Hey, you guys are too ostentatious. Our family has two empresses, and now Empress Concubine Jing has added an elder brother. There are already three elder brothers under her knees. This is already very attractive in the front and rear palaces. I'm jealous, what will others think when you bring so many precious gifts into the palace so brightly?"

"Also, you don't have to accept all the things from those people in the clan, and you don't have to send them to the palace immediately. You have to know that the hands of others are short. We can't help the ladies outside. The ladies must maintain their position in the harem and protect the brothers. It's not easy, you must remember to think twice before you act, and don't make mistakes and implicate the empress in the palace..."

The old man was worried and beat and ordered again. Hearing a few grandchildren's hearts trembled, they woke up their dizzy heads again.

The old man looked at a row of seven grandchildren, and his own grandsons were all good. Now the eldest to the fourth child have good jobs, especially the second child has military achievements; but now they have too many grandchildren who are too outstanding A mistake, too envious.And because there are two empresses in the palace, the brothers are so outstanding that I am afraid that they will be taboo, so it is better to disperse earlier to avoid them as the empress said.

"Xiao Qi is not young anymore, the eldest daughter-in-law, hurry up and find a wife for him, and arrange Xiao Liu's marriage this year as soon as possible next year. When you get married, you will disperse, and the younger one will have more experience. Years are fine, and the older ones should find some errands, so there is no need to stay in Beijing. Remember, you are all brothers, and the bones are still connected, so brothers should watch and help each other more."

"Don't worry, Mafa, the grandchildren will keep it in mind." Except for the concubine who was born in the main courtyard, the brothers were raised in the main courtyard. It can be said that the seventh brothers grew up together since childhood, and were not influenced by their respective aunts. Naturally, the relationship between brothers is very good.Although they have their own little thoughts when they grow up, it does not affect the friendship between brothers.

"Especially the eldest and the second child, you two should take care of the younger brothers below, and help each other no matter where you are..."

Although the old man is old, he is not long-winded. When he finished speaking, he sent all his sons and grandchildren out, and left each of them to be quiet.

The brothers came out from the old man's courtyard and sent Ama Erniang to go first. The brothers were about to leave separately when they were stopped by the second son Etenyi.

"Second brother, what else do you want?" Just as he was about to go back and ask his wife about the affairs in the palace, the eldest brother couldn't help frowning when the second child stopped him, and the others were similar.

"Brother, brothers, we brothers haven't talked for a long time, let's talk in my study."

"Okay, second brother, you are always busy. Second brother hasn't made gestures with me for a long time. Second brother has to give my younger brother some advice later." The fifth brother leaned to Eteng and put his arms around Etenyi's neck and said.The fifth child escapes, and he most admires the second child who is "superior in martial arts" and has military achievements.

"Big brother..."

"Okay, let's go." The boss spoke, and the younger brothers naturally did not dare to object.

"Second brother's study room is well furnished. Unexpectedly, the second brother who is a general is still elegant." The fourth civil servant is the only one among the brothers who has a reputation as a scholar. He usually likes to play with some elegant poems.

"Come and sit inside." Etenyi led the brothers into a small inner room in the study, ordered the servants to serve tea and then ordered them to strictly guard outside the door.

"Is there anything important to say about my second child?" Erle was serious, and when he entered the inner room, he found that it was almost a sealed room with only doors and no windows, obviously to prevent others from eavesdropping and peeping.

"I think the eldest brother and the younger brothers have heard clearly what Mafa just said. When the seventh brother gets married, the family will be separated. After the separation, the eldest brother is the eldest son and should stay in Beijing to serve Ma'eniang, and the sixth and seventh brothers are still young. I will also stay in Beijing, only me and my third, fourth, and fifth brothers are left, I don’t know what the three younger brothers have planned.”

"Second brother, what are your plans?" The third child and the second child are the closest in age, and the relationship between the two is closer and more casual than that of the two younger brothers.

"I plan to apply to the Ministry of War to go south after my family is separated. The south has always been unstable, and the anti-Qing and Ming-ming forces continue to harass the people. As a general, I can make some achievements in the south."

The most important thing is that there is no Emperor Gao in the south, and it is difficult for others to know what to do; The merchant ship that the younger sister agreed to build is ready, and she can go to sea just waiting for the right time; fourth, since the fourth younger sister has the great cause of Chengjing on his mind, as an older brother, he will naturally join the elder brother in the palace after ten or decades. The fifth is to leave a way out for Guo Luoluo.

"Going south, the land of the Nanman is not a good place to go. It's very chaotic there. Those Nanman Han people are not easy to suppress. Second brother, you have to think about it carefully." Er Le looked at the same mother and younger brother worriedly. Being at the side of Ama Erniang, Cheng Huan would not be able to leave Beijing to take up a post.

"Brother, don't worry, I have already made arrangements. Not only me, but I also suggest that the third, fourth, and fifth brothers should be sent to the provinces below, whether it's the south or the north, just don't stay in Beijing." E Teng Yi looked at the brothers solemnly.

"Second brother, what's the meaning of this? Why do you want us to go out of Beijing." It's great to be in Beijing. Although they don't have high official positions, they are under the protection of Guo Luoluo in Beijing, at least their errands are much smoother than others.

"It's for your own good to let you go out of Beijing, it's also for the good of Guo Luoluo, and for the good of the ladies and elder brothers in the palace.

You should know that our Guo Luoluo family is a common surname in Manchuria. Although the official position in the court is not high, it cannot be compared with the Tong Jia family, the Hesheli family, the Niu Hulu family and the Nala family, but there are many officials in our family; moreover The important thing is that there are two empresses in our family, one concubine and one concubine.Both empresses have elder brothers under their knees, especially the three elder brothers under Concubine Jing's knees, and the empresses are extremely favored.

There are not a few court officials who only have their daughters in the harem. Think about it differently, what would you do if you had daughters on the opposite side of the harem, such high-ranking masters as Concubine Jing and Concubine Yi.And what about the girls who already have elder brothers?What will happen to the Hershey family who already has a prince?What will happen to Nalashi who already has a big brother?What about Margaret?

Although the position of the crown prince has been decided now, who knows the future.Today is the prime of life, the Hesheli clan of the crown prince and the Nala clan of the eldest brother in the court are already facing each other, but the emperor has no intention of stopping it.Although the elder brother under our mother's knee is still young, he has several brothers, if the Guo Luoluo family's power at this time draws attention to the emperor's fear, how will the emperor treat us Guo Luoluo family and the mother's brothers..."

Hearing Etenyi's words, the brothers broke out in cold sweat.

"It's fine to avoid it like this, but after the brothers leave Beijing, there will definitely be a situation in our family, and it may affect the empress in the palace..."

"Brother, don't worry, this is also what the empress means. Now is not the time to stand out, and being weak is not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes it is better to hide your strength and bide your time than to give power to the government. The fourth sister has already arranged for this matter."

"Second brother, you mean the fourth sister..." Er Le suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at E Tengyi, the fourth sister had such big thoughts!
"Brother, stop, you can't say it, you can't say it."

"What do you think of the third brother, the fourth brother, and the fifth brother?" E Tengyi looked at the three younger brothers and waited for their decision.

"Since the empress and the second brother have already made arrangements, we have no objection."

"Don't worry, even if the Guo Luoluo family is released, you can still be protected." Knowing the meaning of the palace, Er Le also agreed to release several younger brothers, seeing that the three of them also agreed, and made a promise in his heart.

"Okay, this matter is settled like this, big brother and Mafa tell the clan to make arrangements as soon as possible." Etenyi felt a lot relieved after finishing one thing on his mind, "Calling big brother and younger brothers to come, there is one more thing .”

Er Tengyi got up and went out of the room, took a small box and came in, and said to his brother with a solemn expression:
"This is something that was given to me by Concubine Jing when I left Beijing in 17. I haven't given it out before because I was afraid it would be leaked. Now we are brothers with one heart, and the third, fourth and fifth brothers also have to go outside. Let it go, these things should also be given to you."
