In the Nuan Pavilion, there is the faint floral fragrance of narcissus, accompanied by the distant scent of ambergris on Kangxi's body, mixed into a unique smell, which smells good.
"I heard that King Cewan Alabutan of Jungar Khan sent his son to the capital to seek help from the Lord?" Wen Xi said suddenly.
Kangxi nodded slightly, "I am also worried about this matter. Qi Buchen has already granted marriage, so of course you have no words to say; Jilan also promised that the emperor will marry Qitat in the future, and I can't break my promise."
Wen Xi raised her eyebrows: "Your Majesty, you won't pay attention to Yu Ludai anymore, right?" If you dare to take any chances with my mother and daughter... I'll destroy you!
Kangxi hurriedly said: "How could it be? I am reluctant to marry Horqin, not to mention Zhungeer is far away in Mongolia, the desert. Once married, there will be very few opportunities to come back in this life."
Yes, Zhungeer is remote and wild. Once you go there, you will probably die of old age in Moxi and never come back. The pain of marrying far away is nothing worse than this. Moreover, among the Mongolian tribes in Moxi, although Zhungeer is the leader,
However, the tribes compete for livestock and pastures. Year-round wars and constant killings, the folk customs are extremely fierce, and the climate is bitter and cold. Most of them are the Gobi Desert, with wind and sand. How can a delicate princess who has lived in the capital for a long time survive in the desert west?
If you send a princess to marry far away, you have to worry about leaving her behind! Compared with them, the previous Princess Rongxian, Princess Duanjing and the fourth princess were relatively lucky. At least they had a chance to return to Beijing, and at least they didn't die of old age and no longer see each other.
See.
"It really can't be done, so I have no choice but to break my promise to the emperor." Kangxi was silent for a long time before he said calmly.
Then Jilan would marry far away from Moxi?! Wenxi couldn't help but be slightly startled. Although she had no feelings for the seventh princess, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her and said: "Why must the emperor's daughter marry far away? That's okay.
Adopting a daughter from a clan and naming her as Princess Heshuo is enough to give Zhun Geer face."
"How can a daughter of the clan be compared with the emperor's daughter?" Kangxi only shook his head slightly, "It's a pity that Ji Lan's temperament is not strong enough. I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve anything if she goes away. It would be better if Shu Lan was not married..."
The fourth princess Shulan, this sea clam princess is indeed quite political and very popular in Khalkha. She manages civil and military affairs together with her husband. It is said that she has given birth to two sons. The husband and wife play the piano and play the piano and are very loving. It is a pity.
There was only one Princess Haiben in the Qing Dynasty, and Kangxi only saw her goodness after she got married.
"In terms of perseverance, there is one person who can rival the Fourth Princess." Wen Xi raised her eyebrows.
"Oh? Who?" Kangxi looked at Wen Xi with interest.
Her face was gentle and calm. She said slowly but firmly: "Eighth Princess Shu Lu!"
Kangxi's expression froze the moment Wen Xi spoke, "Shu Lu...?" Kangxi couldn't help but hesitate, "Although Tong Bi is pregnant, she has always loved Shu Lu very much."
There was a coldness in Wen Xi's eyes. Wen Xi was determined not to give Shu Lu a good place to marry, and a remote and war-torn place like Zhungeer was the place where she would die of old age. It was really a relief! Then there was a wisp of spring breeze in the corner of her mouth.
A smile like that: "Perhaps Tong Bin understands justice very well."
Four days later, at noon, I heard Tong Bin kneel down to the Yangxin Hall, requesting that the eighth princess could take care of her father's worries and marry Zhungeer far away. Kangxi did not agree at the time, but he never refused, and only decreed a large reward for Tong Bin.
There were countless gold, jade and jewels, and he was praised for his "profound understanding of righteousness". Although Kangxi did not issue an edict, his meaning was already very clear.
Tong Bin wanted to give up the eighth princess and save the one in her belly. This choice was also expected by Wen Xi. How could other people's children be as important as her own? What's more, the princesses of the Qing Dynasty would most likely marry far away.
Shu Lu may not be able to escape such a fate! Tong Bin was cruel and told her to marry Zhungeer far away.
In the early morning of the fifth day, Tong Bin came to Chengqian Palace to pay her respects. Wen Xi asked Zhu'er to welcome her in politely, and served tea in the palace as an honored guest.
Only four or five days had passed, and Tong Bi looked even more haggard. There were heavy bruises under her eyes, as if she had not slept for several days. She forced herself to maintain a dignified demeanor and said, "So, is the imperial concubine still satisfied?"
Wen Xi looked at Tong Bin with a smile and said: "I thought you would have to think about it for a long time, but I didn't expect you to make a decision so quickly? It turns out that other people's children are not as important as your own!" Tong Bin even sacrificed her own life for this child.
Even if you can risk your life, how can Shu Lu compare with that?!
There was sadness in Tong Bin's eyes. She lowered her eyes and was speechless. Her hand gently brushed her slightly bulging belly. She could feel the beating of her child, and she could feel it every day and every night. Soothing
Although Lu has been with her for many years and relieved her of many years of loneliness, this child is her flesh and blood relative whom she has supported with her own blood and life! It is indeed not comparable to Shu Lu.
The gentle hand raised slightly, pointed to the chair on the right, and said: "Sit down."
Tong Bin was wearing flat embroidered shoes and was being supported by her confidant, Mammy, as she sat upright on a chair. Hu Yu understood, so she went forward and knelt down to feel Tong Bin's pulse.
This time it was easy to get used to it. There was no one else in the palace, so Hu Yu said frankly: "My queen has not had a good rest these days. It may be because the fetal movement has become more severe, so she is a lot more haggard. I hope your Majesty will be well in the coming days."
Take care of yourself and don’t think too much, I will do my best to protect your mother’s pregnancy.”
Tong Bin bit her lip and said calmly: "Don't worry, I have given up even the most reluctant things for this child. I will definitely follow the doctor's orders and take good care of myself."
Hu Yu had been preparing the prescription for a long time, but after five days, his pulse had changed. Hu Yu had to add, delete, and improve it in time. It took him half an hour to write a prescription before handing it over to Tong Bin.
A close confidant said: "The weight of the medicine used, the age of the medicine, the method of boiling the medicine, and the taboos are all clearly written. Take it for three days according to the prescription. In addition, after taking this medicine, other things to support the fetus will
Please also stop taking all the medicines so as not to conflict with the properties of the medicines."
That nanny must be the nanny Wei who was recruited by her parents' family and knew medical skills as Tong Bin said. She didn't look very old, in her forties, had a rigid face and rarely spoke. She looked at the prescription carefully.
, he couldn't help but spread his brows and said: "My Lady, this prescription is very good."
Tong Bin then nodded with peace of mind. Hu Yu was not angry about this, but continued: "Please ask your Majesty to take this prescription tomorrow. Today, I will think about a medicinal meal and deliver it to your Majesty in person tomorrow. In the meantime, I will cooperate with the prescription."
Medicinal food, prepare together."
Tong Bin smiled slightly and was very polite to Hu Yu: "Thank you, grandma."
Hu Yu lowered his head and returned to Wen Ru's side, saying no more. Although Hu Yu is not very old now, he is already respectfully called "Mammy" or "Aunt".
Tong Concubine leaned forward and looked at Wen Xi: "Yesterday, before I went to ask the emperor to marry Shu Lu away from home, I tested Zhaogui."
With a signature smile on her face, she listened to her talk. At Zhaogui's age, her prudent skills were definitely not as good as those of Tong Bi. The collaboration between her and Mi Concubine must have been dominated by Mi Concubine, and it was Mi Concubine who probably came up with the idea.
of.
"The concubine told Mr. Zhao that her fetal image was not stable and it would be difficult to save the child. Guess what the imperial concubine answered?" There was a coldness in the smile on Tong Bin's face, and she continued: "Ren Zhao said it would be better.
By placing the blame on Chengqian Palace, we can also take the opportunity to plead with the emperor to bring the eighth princess back."
Such words were also expected by Wen Xi. It's a pity that Zhao Gui missed the mark by saying this. Wen Xi didn't want to go further and just said lightly: "Then you should be careful with Zhao Gui."
Tong Bin smiled like a spring breeze: "It's just that I have asked the emperor to marry Shu Lu and also came to the Qian Palace in person. I'm afraid they have understood that I took refuge in the imperial concubine in order to save the child in her belly."
"Them?" Wen Xi couldn't help chewing these two words, Tong Bin was not a fool.
"Isn't it? I can't believe it, just a Zhaogui man has such great hands and eyes!" After saying these words, Tong Bi gritted her teeth, as if she wished she could eat it raw.
Wen Xi did not comment on her words, "Since we are talking about Zhaogui, I am very confused. Since she is from your palace, why did she betray you?"
Tong Bin couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Does the imperial concubine also think that I recommended the Hezhe family just to be favored?!"
"Isn't it?" It's a pity that when Hezhe was favored, Wen Xi was in Tangquan Palace and didn't know the details. But everyone would think it was Tong Bin's method, right?
"The Hezhe family just entered the palace that year. By chance, they were assigned to the concubine's Jingren Palace. The concubine just thought that she was literate and quite intelligent, so she placed her next to her.
On that day, the emperor saw her, and she agreed to it after a night of luck. Later, she was always respectful and often persuaded the emperor to bring Shu Lu back, so I finally believed her." Tong Bin said slowly, but her brows gradually wrinkled.
Get up, "I just don't know who is behind her?!"
There is naturally a secret concubine behind Zhao Guiren, but Wen Xi didn't want to say it out loud, so she just smiled faintly: "Don't you have a clue, Concubine Tong?"
Tong Bin said: "I think it must be one of the three concubines Hui Fei, Yi Fei and Rong Fei."
Wen Xi was stunned for a moment, puzzled by Tong Bin's determined tone, and asked, "Why?"
"Only the fourth concubine must have seen the face of Empress Xiaozhao." Tong Bin said lightly, "As the first empress's direct sister, the imperial concubine naturally knows it well, so there is no need to ask the concubines."
There was a loud bang in Wen Xi's mind. Yes, Tong Concubine had never met Galudai, so she must have known that she looked like Queen Xiaozhao after the Hezhe family accepted her favor! It was so difficult for the Wang family to enter the palace with such a close concubine.
The Tong Jia family is even later, so they must not know what Garudai looks like! So, besides the secret concubine, there are other people behind the Zhaogui people?! The secret concubine and the Zhaogui people are plotting, is it just the two of them, or is it with that person?
A third person conspired together?! Did that unknown person just want Hezhe's favor to make a profit, or was his target set on Wen Xi early on?! Wen Xi's mind was like a mess, one Zhaogui and the other a secret concubine.
, Wen Xi can still handle it, but if you add this unknown person in the dark, it will be troublesome!! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your
