It was late at night, and Yu Ludai had already slept soundly. He heard from the little eunuch below that the main entrance, back door, side door, and corner door of Chengqian Palace were all guarded by the eunuchs in front of the emperor. No one was allowed to go out at will. Even the monthly quotas were set by
They brought it back on their behalf. Wen Xi was silent when she heard this reply.
Xiaoluzi consoled him: "Master, please rest assured. We have not skimped on the share of the Qiang Palace at all, and the 450 kilograms of red charcoal used every month have been fully provided."
Wen Xi looked at the cute pink Yulu Dai on the bed and said, "In the past, it was not just enough." When she returned to the palace and was pregnant, the portions were based on the expenses of the imperial concubine, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs had all the good things.
I want to do my best to Cheng Qian Palace. Wen Xi smiled indifferently and said: "This can be regarded as the emperor's grace, isn't it?" He said it, but he couldn't help but have a sense of irony. It is indeed a grace, and he carries the witch Gu Tai on his back.
The two crimes of the empress dowager and the murder of Concubine De were actually just grounded. Isn't it a great grace? Isn't it a great grace to be able to have enough food and clothing? Isn't it necessary to thank him for his "grace"?! Wen Ru was just holding it back in her heart.
In one breath, if she really did it, forget it, but to bear such a crime for nothing makes people really angry!
It's true that Wen Xi was too careless. Thinking about the witchcraft doll, it must have been buried when she gave birth to Yulu Dai. Whether she was pregnant or in confinement, Wen Xi only wanted people to stare at Concubine De.
However, she never thought that a few honest people in her palace would come back to bite her!
At this time, Mrs. Liu's laughter was heard. It turned out that she had returned from sleeping with her. She was laughing wantonly and loudly, and could be heard even in the main hall. Wen Ru couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust. Why did Kangxi suddenly summon Mr. Liu?
?Recalling Mrs. Liu's flamboyant behavior in the evening, Wen Xi really regretted not giving her a slap.
So, he hurriedly carried Yu Ludai and carried him into the space without hearing anything!
As soon as he entered the space, Yu Ludai woke up, babbling, waving his little hands, and giggling.
"If I want to leave, you will go with me, right?"
"Eaaah!"
Got an affirmative answer. Wen Xi lowered her head and kissed her daughter's cheek, "Be good!"
The Chengqian Palace in the confinement was not normal. Liu from Yi'antang was summoned for several days before she stopped being favored. Fortunately, she did not dare to provoke and come to the main hall.
He moved out of the house and went to live with Concubine Zhang Jia. Wen Xi also let it go.
During the confinement, I couldn't get any news from the outside, and I didn't know how the tenth elder brother was doing. He suddenly left Chengqian Palace, would he not get used to going to his elder brother's place? Then he smiled again, Yin'er is
Prince brother, does anyone dare to deduct his expenses? That little guy will be very satisfied as long as he has something to eat.
Wen Xi is more worried about Song'er and Zhu'er's marriage. Their wedding has been delayed again and again. If it continues to be delayed, what if the other party can't wait and regrets the marriage? Women's youth cannot be delayed. They are still
It can be considered a good time, but if the engagement is broken off and the age is getting older, I am afraid that I will never find a good family in this life! Wen Xi really regrets why she didn't arrange to let them go out while she was pregnant?
Now, even though she is under lockdown, Wen Xi still plans to give it a try, and she can also take care of her mother at home.
Fortunately, the eunuch guarding outside the Chengqian Palace was not too embarrassed. With a little extra money, he still passed the message to Liang Jiugong.
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Now, Liang Jiugong couldn't figure out what Kang Xi meant, so he could only bite the bullet and said cautiously: "Over at Chengqian Palace, the imperial concubine has something to ask the emperor for."
Kangxi suddenly stopped writing and uttered one word: "Speak."
Liang Jiugong bowed his body and said respectfully: "Yesterday, the imperial concubine said that the empress dowager was seriously ill and she wanted to ask the emperor to release her body to pray for the empress dowager. The imperial concubine is willing to release the most beneficial maid around her." The so-called
To release Yin means that if there are too many women in the palace, the natural Yin energy will be strong, and the imbalance of Yin and Yang will inevitably be detrimental to the health of the body. To release Yin, it means to release some older palace ladies out of the palace so that they can marry on their own, which is considered a virtuous policy.
Kangxi's hand suddenly grabbed the white rice paper on the desk, crumpled it into a ball, and asked in a deep voice: "Is there nothing else?"
Liang Jiugong became more and more confused about the emperor's thoughts, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, this is the only request."
Kangxi's face was as straight as a statue. It took him a long time to utter one word: "Yes!" After thinking about it, he asked again: "The cost of the Qian Palace????"
Liang Jiugong smiled slightly and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I have given instructions to the Ministry of Internal Affairs several times. There is no deduction at all, and all the red charcoal has been delivered."
Kangxi hummed, his face softened slightly, and he said: "In the future, any news from Chengqian Palace will be sent to you as soon as possible."
"嗻!"
Chengqian Palace.
Wen Xi handed two rosewood boxes inlaid with patterns of snails and mandarin ducks playing in the water to Song'er and Zhu'er respectively, and said: "I originally planned to give you some good silks and satins, but it's a pity that now they are used to 'release the yin'
If my name is released, it will make people jealous, so I can only give you some silver notes, land, and jewelry." Song'er and Zhu'er each received two thousand taels of silver notes, and some ordinary jewelry that does not arouse taboos and does not have dragon and phoenix patterns on it.
The Hotan property shop is quite rich. When the time comes, Niang will also give them some makeup. Although it is not too much, it is enough for them to have enough food and clothing for a lifetime.
Both Song'er and Zhu'er had tears in their eyes. Song'er sobbed: "Master, what time is it now! I won't leave!"
Zhu'er also broke her lips and said, "I'm not leaving either!"
Wen Xi smiled slightly and said: "The imperial decree has been issued. At least two people should be released from each palace. If you don't leave, you are resisting the decree!" Seeing that they still looked unwilling, Wen Xi said: "I will let you leave the palace.
There are key things for you to do, and I wouldn’t be worried if someone else did it.”
Only then did Song'er stop crying and said: "Master, please give me your orders!"
Wen Xi did not dare to tell them all about her plans, so she only said: "After I leave the palace, I will ask my eldest brother Linge to help me prepare something. I will also inform Mei'er and Du He to prepare something for me. The most important thing is to tell E Niang."
One sentence: 'The sky is high and the birds can fly', you will understand what I mean in the future. If you hear any changes in the palace, don't panic, because I have arranged everything."
Wen Xi babbled and finally told Song'er and Zhu'er everything she needed. Chengqian Palace was closed, and she couldn't even send Song and Zhu'er out in person. She could only silently watch them gradually disappear from sight, her eyes couldn't help but
It was a little blurry. Finally, they walked out of this cage-like palace, and Wen Xi had one less thing to worry about.
Ever since I came to this world, it has been for E Niang and the family, but now that I think about it, not even a day has been spent for myself. With a small world in hand, why should I trap myself in this cage? E Niang already has a big brother, Linge.
, the status is unshakable. If one day, she "dies", perhaps Niu Hulu's status in the court will of course be weakened, but E Niang will be fine.
The sun is already declining in Xiaozhuang. Song'er and Zhu'er must be busy with wedding matters as soon as they leave the palace. Otherwise, they will have to wait another hundred days to catch up with the national mourning. Fortunately, everything is ready. They only need to choose an auspicious day.
, they all live in the capital, and the pine, bamboo and plum blossoms can take care of each other, and with the Cheng'en Palace as their backer, there is no need to worry about Wenxi in the future.
The date agreed with Song'er and Zhu'er is getting closer and closer. All the doors of Chengqian Palace are closed tightly. No one is allowed to go out, and no one is allowed to come in. The Liu family is no longer summoned. Every day
It was getting colder. Even though they were in the same palace, they still stayed away from each other until death. Only Bu Guiren occasionally came to see Wen Xi and told her how much she missed Princess Shu Shu. Wen Xi sighed, she was also the one who was involved.
Zhaojia, this matter is none of her business. But it won’t be involved for too long????
Wen Xi only comforted: "The third princess is already twelve years old. She is no longer a child. She knows how to take care of herself." When she first met Shu Shu, she was only eight years old. She has really grown a lot in the past few years and is already a woman.
A big girl.
Bu Guiren sighed: "I am twelve. I entered the palace at the age of thirteen, so is Shu Shu????"
Wen Xi smiled and said: "There is the second princess with Rong Fei above. The emperor likes the second princess, so he will stay for two more years. The second princess is not married, so how can the third princess get married first?"
The Bugui people were full of worries, "Most of the princesses of the Qing Dynasty will marry to Mongolia. I don't dare to make other extravagant hopes. I only hope that Shu Shu can marry not too far away or too desolate, and that she can go to the Horqin and Karaqin tribes."
Or several tribes in Monnan Mongolia, please don’t marry into such a desolate place as Mobei Mongolia!”
In history, Wenxi could not remember where the third princess born to the Zhaojia family married, so she could only comfort her: "After all, they are the emperor's flesh and blood, no way. Looking at the relationship between Daqing and Horqin, most likely they were also with Borzigit.
If we marry each other, maybe we can stay in the capital together with our consort like a princess."
Bu Guiren's face really relaxed a lot, and he murmured: "I hope????"
That evening, Wen Xi asked Aunt Wu to give the eunuch who was guarding a lot of money and send a message to Liang Jiugong. This was the second time Wen Xi had enough money to send a message.
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Liang Jiugong did not delay this time and reported it as soon as possible: "Your master said that he wants all the remaining hair oil from the Ministry of Internal Affairs???" Such a request made Liang Jiugong confused for a while, but with Kangxi's previous
He had no choice but to report it truthfully.
As expected, Kangxi frowned and uttered one word: "Yes!" After a moment of silence, he asked again: "Is there anyone else?"
Liang Jiugong looked at Kangxi's face and said, "Your master also said that he will soon prove to the emperor that she is innocent."
Kangxi hummed, his face softened slightly, and he said: "I understand." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.
