After the New Year, it was the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi. Kangxi planned to hold a canonization ceremony for the fifth princess Qi Buchen and the sixth princess Yu Ludai before the southern tour. Qi Buchen wanted to be canonized as Princess Heshuo and just decided on the title.
, but Kangxi once said privately that he wanted to register Yu Ludai as Princess Gu Lun.
This dynasty has already made a custom that only the legitimate daughter of the queen can be registered as Princess Gulun, and the concubines are all Princess Heshuo. Although the imperial concubine has a noble status, she is still a concubine. Wen Xi is worried that the Queen Mother will not
Will agree.
Saying hello today, Kangxi must have had an agreement with the Queen Mother in advance. Although the Queen Mother paid little attention to the affairs of the harem, major events such as canonizing a princess usually require the Queen Mother's nod. What Wen Xi was afraid of was that the old lady refused to nod.
The Queen Mother did not dress very grandly today and looked like a homely person. She first talked about Concubine Xuan's condition, and then sighed and said that Concubine Xuan could not go on this southern tour, and she was not going to go to the old man, as she had to look after the harem for the emperor.
Then he mentioned the matter of the canonization, and said to Wen Xi very kindly: "This is a rare celebration, so it should be more grand. I hope Concubine Xuan is happy, and maybe her illness will be cured."
Wen Xi nodded in agreement. Although the imperial edict had not yet been issued, the matter was no longer a secret.
Tong Bin said with a smile on her face, "It is indeed a rare joy. We are going to confer the title of two Heshuo princesses at once. The princesses of this dynasty are always canonized before they get married. I wonder if the emperor has taken a fancy to the young talents of that tribe?"
Wen Xi didn't want to talk to Tong Pin, but Tong Pin looked like she was pestering her endlessly: "The sixth princess of the imperial concubine is so lucky, and she is also blessed with the fifth princess. She will be canonized at the age of fifteen!"
The Queen Mother said carelessly: "I wonder who is blessed by whom!" Then she looked at Wen Xi very kindly. "The emperor has many biological daughters, but he has never been canonized as Princess Gu Lun."
As soon as the Queen Mother said this, Tong Bin's expression changed and she hurriedly said: "Princess Gu Lun?! Aren't the daughters born to concubines all to be canonized as Princess Heshuo?!"
The Queen Mother straightened up and collected her features, with a solemn look on her face: "The imperial concubine is the same as the deputy concubine, so it is no big deal if the sixth princess is registered as Princess Gu Lun."
Hearing what the Queen Mother said, her warm and worried heart was relieved, but she still said humbly: "The imperial edict has not been issued yet, so it is uncertain." The Queen Mother did not object at all. She looked like she was happy to be prejudiced, but she also said
Wen Xi was a little suspicious. After all, it was a bit illegal for Yu Ludai to be named Princess Gu Lun. However, there was a precedent of Princess Gulun, the eldest daughter of Prince Gong and the adopted daughter of Kangxi, being named Princess Gu Lun. Therefore, it was not too serious.
Pass.
The Queen Mother said with a smile: "The Ai family also likes Yulu Dai very much! Seeing her lively and lovely appearance, the Ai family reminds me of her own youth, when she was so carefree in the Horqin Prairie."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but have a sad look in his eyes.
Wen Xi smiled calmly, but she felt a little bad in her heart. Wen Xi could not fail to hear what the Queen Mother meant. She was thinking of calling her Lord Horqin! No wonder she had to oppose Kangxi's appointment of Yulu Dai as Princess Gu Lun.
After all, the previous princesses were all married to Mongolia. The Queen Mother did not think that the fifth princess and the sixth princess would be exceptions. She probably meant to sell this matter to Wen Xi so that Wen Xi could be married to her in the future.
Standing on the same side as her, Wen Xi figured out the Empress Dowager's intention, so she decided to ask Kangxi to arrange the marriage as soon as possible, so as to catch the Empress Dowager off guard.
She also talked about the arrangements for the canonization ceremony, and the Queen Mother also repeatedly asked that it be more solemn, and Wen Xi only silently agreed. After all, the Queen Mother was getting older, and she talked too much, and she was a little weak. She asked the concubines to disperse.
Already.
After leaving Cining Palace, the concubines came up to express their congratulations one by one. Wen Xi also thanked them one by one with a smile, reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling person. These scenes were still necessary. Only Tong Bi's face became more and more ugly, cold and cold.
Seeing the concubine's beady surroundings and gentleness, she angrily rushed ahead and ran away without saying a word.
Concubine Cheng was in charge of the harem's criminal laws and became more and more majestic. Seeing Tong Bin being so rude, she couldn't help but feel a little angry. After all, she was worried about the entrance of Cining Palace and only said: "Tong Bin is losing her rules more and more."
."
Wen Xi pursed her lips and smiled, "No need to pay attention to her."
Concubine Shen said with a sour taste: "Since Mr. Hezhe is favored, does she feel that she is also favored? The emperor hasn't read her name for a month. Concubine thinks that Mr. Hezhe is big-hearted. Sooner or later, one day
You must betray the Lord!”
After Wen Xi returned to the palace, the Hezhe family not only did not fall out of favor, but also rose rapidly. Even the Queen Mother was dissatisfied, so she did not treat Tong Bin very much. Wen Xi also had doubts and asked: "He is always growing up.
Isn’t it beautiful?”
Concubine Cheng smiled and said: "Incomparably beautiful." There seemed to be another deep meaning in her words, "The imperial concubine has never seen her, has she?"
Wen Xi said favorably, she didn't like to go out in winter, and when she did go out, she would come to Cining Palace to pay her respects. However, this He Changzai was not qualified to pay his respects to the Queen Mother, so he had never met her before.
There was a bit of contempt in Concubine Shen's eyes, "It's okay if the imperial concubine doesn't see such an impudent and rude person! Otherwise, it will stain your own eyes!"
Wen Xi became more and more curious and said with a smile: "I would like to meet this He Chang Zai."
Concubine Cheng's eyes were deep and she said, "When the empress sees her, she will definitely understand why she is so favored."
Concubine Shen couldn't help but feel a little confused, "Isn't it just that she looks charming?!"
Concubine Cheng looked at Concubine Shen and said, "Sister Shen, don't you think she... looks a lot like the first empress?"
When Concubine Cheng said something, Wen Xi and Concubine Shen were both surprised. Concubine Shen hid her face, her eyes widened, as if she had realized something, "No wonder I look familiar to you!" She added.
He looked at Wen Xi and said, "It's just that she doesn't look similar to the imperial concubine."
"Oh?" He Changzai actually looks like Sister Galudai? Her gentle eyebrows are slightly raised, I'm afraid her temperament is somewhat similar, but she is arrogant, while Galudai is aloof, just like a pheasant and a phoenix.
!
After understanding the key, Wen Xi said nothing, silently said goodbye to Concubine Cheng and Concubine Shen, and went back to the palace.
It was still chilly in the first month of the year, so Wen Xi walked to the charcoal pot to warm herself up, then took off her fur-collared cloak. Once her body was warm, she went to sit on the couch and slowly drank a cup of peanut cheese. She then ordered Xiaoluzi to
Go to the Jingshi Room to get Tong Shi.
Wen Xi had not seen Tong Shi for a long time. She didn't know it, but she was shocked when she saw it. During the few months when she was not in the palace, apart from the concubines, this person was the most favored, especially the newly favored Hezhe family.
She stayed in bed for three days in a row. Although this month was only half way through, she had already been summoned five or six times, which was already more than the number of concubines who had to stay in bed at the beginning of the year due to the occasional cold.
Wen Xi closed Tong Shi and couldn't help but feel a little sour. Kangxi happened to come down from the court at this time. Looking at a copy of Tong Shi on the case, he asked, "Why do you see this?"
Wen Xi muttered, but ignored her.
Kangxi looked at Wen Xi's jealous look, couldn't help but burst out laughing, and told Zhu'er: "Quickly light the dew lotus fragrance, you have to remove the sourness!"
Wen Xi became angry from embarrassment and gave him a fierce look, "Who is jealous?!"
Kangxi couldn't stop laughing more and more, and flipped open a few open pages, "It's just a constant!"
Wen Xi didn't understand Kangxi's intentions. One was because of Hezhe's face and temperament, and the other was because of what she said before that she didn't want to be exclusively favored, so she asked such a low-born person to be a target, but she always felt a little sad in her heart.
He casually ordered someone to serve tea and snacks, and casually said: "Your Majesty will go to court very early today."
Kangxi drank Junshan Silver Needle Tea and said: "I've finally had some free time recently. I can also take advantage of my free time to prepare the canonization matters for Yu Ludai and Qi Buchen." He then ordered Li Dequan to bring up the book and said: "This
These are some titles drawn up by the Ministry of Rites, take a look."
The words written in it are just ordinary and good words. Previously, the eldest princess was registered as Princess Gulun Chunxi, the second princess of Concubine Rong was registered as Princess Heshuo Rongxian, and the third princess of Bu Guiren, Shu Shu, was registered as Princess Heshuo Duanjing.
, the fourth princess Shulan born by Guo Guiren is just Princess Heshuo, without a title.
Kangxi said: "Qi Buchen's name originally means quiet. I deliberately chose the word 'jing'. Concubine Cheng has always loved Qi Buchen very much, so she took the title of concubine Cheng. How about Princess Jingcheng?"
Wen Xi was silent for a while, "That's good, that's good...it's just that the fifth princess still has a biological mother. Princess Jingshun sounds good." After all, Shun Guiren Song is Qi Buchen's biological mother, although Shun Guiren is a concubine in the palace.
However, she raised Qi Buchen herself. Although Cheng Fei regarded Qi Buchen as her own child, she was not her biological child after all.
Kangxi muttered, "That's fine, I won't mind if you become a concubine!" After saying that, he took Zhu's note and wrote down the title.
Wen Xi smiled and said: "It's just that I don't like the title here. What title does the emperor plan to give to Bi'er?"
Kangxi smiled and said: "I am thinking about it, how about taking the first character of your title, 'Wen', and then adding the word 'Hui'?"
"Hui?" Wen Xi tilted her head slightly, "Clever?"
Kangxi shook his head, "It's the virtuous Hui."
Wen Xi pursed her lips and smiled, "The word is a good word, but I don't think it goes well with Bi'er!" How can Yu Ludai look like that? She will definitely not be a virtuous wife if she marries someone in the future!
Kangxi couldn't help but laugh, "That naughty girl!" Then he pointed to the word "Xian" in the title "Pure Constitution" in the title proposed in the memorial, and said: "This word "Xian" is also very good."
"If you are knowledgeable and capable, you can say Xian, and if you are a fan of Yongzhao, you can say Xian." Wen Xi shook her head. And Princess Wen Xian, this title was originally the title of the daughter of De Fei Wu Ya, and Princess Wen Xian later married Shun'an.
Yan and Wenxi really don’t like this title.
"Hmm..." Kangxi pondered for a moment, "Then let's take 'Wen Ke'! To be virtuous and not confused is called "Wen Ke", to be the same on the outside and inside is called "Wen Ke", to be sincere in the heart is called "Wen Ke", and to be frank and courteous is said to be "Wen Ke". It's a good match!
"
Wen Xi nodded slightly after hearing this, "Princess Wen Xi, that sounds good."
Kangxi held up his palms and said with a smile: "In this way, Qi Buchen is Princess Heshuo Jingshun, and Yuludai is Princess Gulun Wenqi!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation)
