In the eleventh year of Yongzheng's reign, the fourth son of the emperor, Hongli, was ordered to go to Mount Wutai. Emperor Yongzheng's move caused a great change in the direction of the court and the public. Important ministers headed by Haiwang had the intention of defecting, and the prince lost power.
In the early summer, it rained heavily in the Forbidden City. A muffled thunder made Yutang wake up from her dream, "No!" Xiaohu heard the cry outside the compartment, and rushed in holding the dagger in the sleeve tightly, and said warily
"Master, what happened?" Yutang wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I just dreamed that someone wanted to kill brother Hongli. I wanted to stop him, but it was too late."
Xiaohu: "Master, you have been thinking about it every day and dreaming about it at night. Prince Bao is here with a lot of guards and it is a royal guard of honor. Who dares to be so bold?" Yutang grabbed her hand and said,
"No matter what happens, nothing can happen to him. Xiaohu, go to Zhongcui Palace quickly and look at Concubine Geng! I always feel that this trip will not go smoothly and she will not give up!" "I'll go now, please relax.
Heart."
Greetings as usual, the special thing is that today’s Yongshou Palace does not have to compete with anyone, and is in the limelight. Concubine Xi is wearing a georgette robe given by the emperor, with a rosy complexion and an unstoppable smile. “Sister, today is really the best.
Your face is radiant. The emperor has not been to the harem for a long time. When he came, he only asked his sister to serve him. It can be seen that my sister is probably about to receive a great favor." The noble Fucha said with a smile. Concubine Xi: "All concubines and concubines are empty.
Yes, as long as the emperor can think of us more, it will be the greatest favor. Sister Qian, do you think so?"
Concubine Qian was as cautious and courteous as ever, "Your Majesty and Sister Fucha are right." Concubine Xi raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Hongli is not around, and I always feel empty. Sister Qianconcubine should have come around more often.
Yes." Mrs. Fucha interjected, "Yes, since Tang Gege entered the palace, Sister Qianbi has only had that niece in her eyes and heart."
Concubine Xi smiled at Yan Yan, "Speaking of Yutang, Concubine Qian should let her come to my palace more often. For such a good child, when Hongli comes back to complete his marriage, I will be happy for her.
Yutang also chooses a good son-in-law." Concubine Qian was startled by the tea cup in her hand, "Has the Emperor already decided on Prince Bao's marriage?"
Concubine Xi: "Yes, we will send people to the Fucha family's mansion to announce the decree as soon as Hongli comes back. Sister Fucha, this is also the honor and favor of your Fucha family." "What the empress said is exactly what this eldest girl is saying.
But the best and most beautiful girl in our clan and Prince Bao are such a good couple! Sister Qianbi, why do you look so unhappy?"
"Sister, I don't know that my sister is always sick. It's getting hotter and harder these days." After saying that, he pretended to cough a few times. After hearing this, Mr. Fucha quickly took half a step back.
"Sister, you should take good care of yourself. This is my sister too. If it were anyone else, I might think that my sister is dissatisfied with Prince Bao's marriage!"
Concubine Qian: "My sister Bingxue is smart and naturally understands people. Aunt Fucha is the most important person in the eyes of the emperor and my sister Xi Fei. Is there any bad reason?"
The night rain was getting worse, and there was a rustling sound in the Zhongcui Palace. The sneaky eunuch ran out of the main hall, and Xiao Hu followed him all the way, not daring to startle the snake. The short eunuch passed through the corner gate of the East Sixth Palace and ran into the imperial palace.
In the rockery in the garden, Xiao Hu was not familiar with the terrain inside the palace. When walking through the rockery, he stepped on the gravel and made a sound. The short eunuch and the man in black who came to join him seemed to be aware of it and turned to the source of the sound.
Xiaohu was walking around. When Xiaohu couldn't avoid it, a pair of hands suddenly covered her mouth and nose from behind and dragged her to another path in the rockery...
