The upgrade of Concubine Xian in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 223 Paying homage to Honghui
During the summer solstice, when the imperial driver arrived at the Chengde Mountain Resort, the Mongolian leaders led their teams to go. According to the imperial decree of Yongzheng, six married Fujin can return to Beijing. The leaders often go to the tent of Fujin, hoping that they can follow. Back to the prairie.

After decades of waiting, the Fujin were all disappointed. The first-born Fujin would rather go back to Beijing to live in the princess mansion than to be exposed to the wind and sun on the grassland.

After entering the Mountain Resort, Hongli and Zarafin stayed in the Yanyu Building, which was built according to the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

The emperor and Yongzheng lived in Wanshuyuan and Songhezhai respectively. Wanshuyuan was built according to Mongolian customs. The emperor would come to live here every autumn.

Yongzheng lived in Songhezhai, while the Empress lived in Moonlight River Sound. The two prefer northern buildings.

When autumn comes into summer, the brigade will come to the summer resort to escape the summer heat. The Mongolian leaders have other courtyards in Chengde, which are located on the east and north platforms of the mountain outside the villa. There are 12 temples, including Shan Temple, Pule Temple, Anyuan Temple, Putuo Zongcheng Temple, Puning Temple, Puyou Temple, Guang'an Temple, Shuxiang Temple, Arhat Hall, Xumi Fushou Temple, and Guangyuan Temple, commonly known as " Outer Eight Temples".

The other courtyards of foreign leaders are distributed here, and they will live nearby when they meet.

"Jiaojiao, let's go to Puning Temple later, Erniang is going to prepare a ritual for brother Honghui." Hongli said to Zarafin.

The fourteenth of July was spent on the grassland. Every time she came to Chengde Mountain Resort, the queen would go to Puning Temple to give Honghui a ritual on the day of her arrival.

Zarafin nodded: "Ah Hun wait for me."

She hurried to the side hall and changed into a moon-white dress decorated with silver silk. She removed the gold hairpin from her head and replaced it with a silver hairpin. There were no earrings on her ears.

"Ah, can I dress up like this?" Zarafin walked out of the side hall and wandered around the main hall.

Except for the Spring Festival sacrifices, she has never made any additional sacrifices, and she is still a little uncertain about the sacrifices' regular attire.

"En." Hongli had already changed into the elegant white brother's regular clothes, only wearing the jade pendant representing the identity of the prince, and nothing else.

The two rushed to the sound of the Moonlight River in a carriage, and drove in the courtyard of the Summer Resort. Zarafin looked outside with his small head. There was a big difference between this place and the modern one, and it was even more luxurious here. In the corridors along the way, there are all palace lanterns hanging.

At night, the lights should be even more beautiful.

"Ah Hun, are we going to come back to live tonight? Or in the temple?" Zarafin was very curious.

The Mountain Resort is still quite big, and once you come and go, you probably won't be able to catch up with dinner.

"No, come back here to live, Ama and Er Niang will live there every time." Hongli looked at Zarafin and said.

Zarafin got out of the carriage and found that in the courtyard, the servants were all wearing blue clothes, and even the maids had changed into blue uniforms, with all the embellishments on their heads.

"Greetings to my uncle/Khan Ama, and my aunt/Emiang." Zhalafin and Hongli saluted.

Yongzheng and the empress were sitting on the main seats respectively. When Zarafin got up, he found that they were all wearing plain uniforms. Yongzheng took off the emperor's uniforms and wore royal blue dark-patterned uniforms, with only a royal blue pattern on his waist. Panlong purse embroidered with silver thread.

"Galudai, let's go, I want to see Honghui." Yongzheng looked at the queen and said.

"Hmm!" The Queen was in a bad mood around the Ghost Festival, while Hongli obediently followed the two of them.

Two carriages drove out of the moonlight river, Concubine Qi and Concubine Nian heard the sound of the wheels, feeling aggrieved in their hearts.

The queen has lost her son, they have all lost their children, and Yongzheng has never been by their side.

Outside Puning Temple, Tulichen surrounded the temple. Every time he arrived at the Summer Resort, Yongzheng and the Empress would stay here for three days. This year, Hongli and Zarafen accompanied him. clean up.

The carriage came into the sight of the guards, and Tu Lichen led everyone to kneel down to pay their respects.

Zarafin was just about to fall asleep in a daze when he was awakened by the voices of Tulichen and others.

"Go to sleep first!" Hongli's low voice made Zarafin feel confused again.

The carriage stopped, Hongli hugged Zarafin horizontally, stepped on the horse stool and got out of the carriage, Yongzheng and the queen looked back, looked at each other and smiled.

As the flood season approached, the Emperor and Yongzheng were worried that there would be disasters in the Yellow River, so they rushed to the Summer Resort without stopping for several days. Zarafin was rarely asleep in the carriage.

"Yuanshou, let Jiaojiao wake up first, and then let her rest after going to the main hall to worship." The queen said to Hongli.

Zarafin felt that someone was calling her, and tried hard to open her almond eyes.

"Aunt." Zarafin saw the queen standing in front of her, and quickly got down from Hongli's arms and stood up.

"Well, after the worship, you can go to the fasting room to rest, you and Yuanshou are in the same courtyard." The queen explained.

Zarafen followed Hongli and entered the main hall. The living Buddha appeared in front of everyone. Yongzheng has always enshrined Tibetan Buddhism, and Honghui's tablet has been enshrined here. It has become the largest Tibetan Buddhist temple in the capital.

Every time the living Buddha goes to Beijing to meet the emperor, he will live in the Lama Temple.

Zarafin piously knelt on the futon, put her hands together, closed her almond eyes, and made a wish in front of the Buddha. She used to go to Lama Temple every year to pay respects to the Buddha.

After coming to the Qing Dynasty, Zarafin would go to Hongluo Temple to pay homage to the Buddha with the Queen or Mrs. Narbu every year.

In the huge hall, she could only hear the rebirth mantra recited by the Living Buddha himself, and every soft recitation of Buddhist scriptures shook her heart.

An hour later, Yongzheng and the Empress got up, went to light the butter lamps in person, and placed them on either side of Honghui's tablet. Hongli looked up at Honghui.

"Brother, I will take good care of Erniang and Jiaojiao. Ama is in good health. I will do my filial piety on your behalf." Hongli promised in his heart.

"Yuanshou, take Jiaojiao for a walk outside." The queen's voice was slightly choked, and she sent the two children away first.

"Yes!" Hongli and Zarafin got up and left.

When the two stepped out of the hall, they heard crying behind them.

Just as Zarafin wanted to stop and look back, he was grabbed by Hongli and walked towards the courtyard step by step. When they approached the door, they sat on chairs in the corridor.

"Er Niang would cry every time. She didn't want to cry in front of us, so she sent us out." Hongli told Zarafin in a low voice.

"Ah Hun." I heard what my aunt said, we are going to live here for a few days.

"Well, tortoise shell, you go back with Gao Wuyong and bring the clothes for three days." Hongli looked at tortoise shell and said.

Gao Wuyong and Huobi took the order to leave, and Hongli took Zarafin to sit in the corridor, waiting for Yongzheng and the queen to come.
