Wei Xiuyan stroked her belly and whispered: "I have something to ask of the Emperor."
Hongli looked at her and frowned: "Do you want to enter the palace?"
Wei Xiuyan smiled bitterly and said: "I know who I am. If my sister caused such a big thing in the palace, how can I have the honor to enter the palace, let alone..." She shook her head, did not continue, and said: "
I want to ask the emperor to let this child stay with me in Guangxiu Garden and not to take him into the palace."
Hongli looked at her in surprise, "Don't you want him to have the status of a prince?"
"The prince's status is noble, but it may not be the best. Compared with the prince's status, I hope that he can grow up in peace. I believe this is also the wish of every mother-in-law; and as the emperor said, he is
I am my only close relative, and I really can’t bear to have him leave.” After saying that, she knelt down along the chair and said, “Please, Your Majesty, grant me your permission!”
There is another sentence that she has not said. Although she has not been in the palace for long, she has learned a lot from Wei Jingxuan before. There are too many intrigues in the palace.
Brother, you can imagine how difficult it will be in the palace; compared with such frightening steps, she would rather her child be an ordinary person, so that at least he can live well.
Hongli looked at her with a complicated expression. Although she and Wei Jingxuan were sisters, their temperaments were much better. At least she truly loved the child in her belly, but it was a pity...
He suppressed the sadness in his heart, helped Wei Xiuyan up and said, "Since you have such an idea, I just agree."
Hongli's answer made Wei Xiuyan breathe a sigh of relief and said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" After that, she said: "The Emperor came in a hurry, and he must not have had dinner yet, so why not go back after eating here.
"
"That's fine." Hongli really felt hungry. From last night to now, because of Yongxuan and Xinbin's affairs, he hadn't eaten anything.
Hongli was thinking about Yongxuan's affairs, and after having some dinner at will, he left in a hurry with his guards. After Hongli left, Wei Xiuyan had no intention of eating anymore, and ordered people to withdraw and wait until she could return.
After entering the house, she said: "Go and ask Deng Feng to come in. I have something to ask him."
In the Forbidden City, Yongxuan's coffin has been placed in the Yonghe Palace. Xia Qing is guarding the coffin. Mrs. Hu is also there, guarding with Xia Qing. She knows that Xia Qing wants to close the coffin before closing it.
Look at Yongxuan a few more times, after all, from now on... you will never be able to see him again.
Xianyue stepped into the Yonghe Palace, looked at the white flags that could be seen everywhere, sighed deeply, and said sadly: "Have the monks from Wanshou Temple arrived?"
Jin Ping lowered his head and said: "As soon as I return to the palace, I sent someone to tell the story. Counting the time, it should be here soon."
Xianyue nodded and walked into the main hall. She glanced at Yongxun, Hejia and others who were kneeling on the ground. She walked to Xia Qing and whispered: "Concubine Hui..."
Before she could continue, Xia Qing said hoarsely: "I know that people cannot be resurrected after death. I just want to... see him more and stay with him for a while."
"I understand." Xianyue looked at Yongxuan's peaceful sleeping face in the coffin and said softly: "Yongxuan is so well-behaved and sensible. God will definitely compensate him well in the next life."
"I hope so." After saying this, Xia Qing raised her eyes and looked around and said, "Where is the emperor? Why don't you see the emperor coming?"
Xianyue's face changed slightly and said: "The emperor still has some state affairs to deal with, so he will come later."
Xia Qing nodded silently. At this time, the monks from Wanshou Temple also arrived. They sat cross-legged in the temple and recited the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" for Yongxuan. However, Hongli did not show up until about the third watch, and Xianyue and the others stayed until dawn.
When it was bright, he left.
The next day, the palace servants built the lid of Yongxuan's coffin. At that moment, Xia Qing burst into tears. She knew in her heart that from now on, the fate between mother and son was completely over, and she would never see Yongxuan again.
, the only thing left is a few portraits and... bits and pieces of memories from the past.
Yongxuan's death and Xinbin's miscarriage made the winter of the 26th year of Qianlong's reign extremely cold. Just one month after Yongxuan's death, Hongli issued an order to make Xiaqing the concubine Hui and Xinbin the concubine Xin.
The canonization ceremony was held on December 26th.
Xin Bin's promotion made the Wang family extremely unhappy. In her opinion, Xin Bin had already had a miscarriage, so why was she qualified to be promoted to concubine? Moreover, in this way, she would go back to being inferior to Xin Bin.
It looked so cool, which made her so bearable.
She had spoken to Hongli several times about this matter, but Hongli had already made up his mind, and no matter how much she spoke, it would be of no avail. She was also a smart person, so when she saw that Hongli began to show impatience, she wisely stopped talking.
She mentioned this matter, but she still felt unhappy.
On December 23, it snowed for the first time this year. Chonghua Palace is not the most magnificent among the Eastern and Western Palaces, but its snow scene is particularly beautiful.
Mrs. Wang stood under the eaves, stroking her now highly swollen belly, looking into the distance through the falling snowflakes. She didn’t know what she was thinking. The snow was very heavy, but in just half a day, the ground was already covered with snow.
It accumulated a thick layer.
"Master, it's time to drink the medicine." Qiuyue's voice woke Wang up from her deep thoughts. She glanced at the black medicine juice in the gold-painted tray, frowned and said, "I don't want to drink it now, so just leave it alone."
Qiuyue handed the anti-fetal medicine to the little palace maid aside and said softly: "Master, are you still worried about Xin Bin?"
Wang's beautiful face was slightly distorted, "Three days, three days to go, we will change our name to Concubine Xin. When I think of Dai Jia's smug face, I will be furious; if it's just
That's all, but..." She let go of her left hand that she had been holding tightly, and inside
It was a ball of crumpled paper. "Father wrote a letter saying that the emperor just issued a decree yesterday to reward virtue with three dazzling feathers. He was promoted to two ranks and became a first-class official, which is one level higher than my father." As he said,
She sneered and said, "It's good now. No matter inside or outside the palace, I will be overpowered by the Dai Jia clan!"
Qiuyue comforted: "Master, please calm down. The reason why the emperor bestowed the reward on Xin Bin and her family was just because he pitied her for losing her dragon fetus. In fact, she didn't have much favor." As she spoke, she lowered her voice and said: "
Today, I went to ask a sister who works at the imperial hospital. She said that she had heard the imperial doctor mention the matter of Xinbin, saying that although Xinbin’s miscarriage was not serious, she would be pregnant if she wanted to have another child in the future.
It’s very difficult.”
Wang looked at her in surprise, "Is this true?"
"How dare you lie to your master? That's what she said. Although Xin Bin is proud now, in the final analysis, the only ones who can truly gain a foothold in the palace are the emperor, the queen, concubine Ying, and concubine Hui. Which one of them is not the one under her knees?"
Imperial heir; Concubine Xin has nothing at her knees, so she cannot sit firmly in the position of concubine."
