"Sister Namu——" A lively voice floated into Xuan Bin's Jingyang Palace. It was a cute girl in her prime, wearing a bright blue Mongolian robe, jumping in and saw Wen Xi accompanying Xuan Bin.
When he spoke, he became particularly affectionate and said, "Is the imperial concubine also here? Baoyin has met the imperial concubine Wen Xi. Long live the imperial concubine!"
Wen Xi slightly put down the gold-embroidered blue-ground enamel cup with lotus flowers in her hand, nodded and said, "Baoyin is very good."
Tumen Baoyin is also Horqin's princess, a third-class duke, the legitimate daughter of Taiji Ayuxi, the grandniece of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and the cousin of Xuanbin Namu. It was Ayuxi who came to Beijing to celebrate her aunt Xiaozhuang's 70th anniversary.
Xiaozhuang brought her to Beijing for her birthday. Xiaozhuang only said that she liked Tumen Baoyin and asked her to stay in Cining Palace. The name Tumen Baoyin is very festive, and in Mongolian it means longevity and blessings.
She was fair-skinned and lovely, and lively and cheerful, but everyone knew that the Empress Dowager had ulterior motives for keeping her.
Tumen Baoyin blinked her big bright eyes and said: "I saw a lot of peonies in the pavilion of my empress dowager. They bloomed big and beautiful. The imperial concubine is really amazing!"
Wen Xi still had a decent and gentle smile on her face: "Thank you, Gege." She was obviously here to see her cousin, but her eyes were fixed on Wen Xi. I don't know why?
However, Namu was not affectionate towards Baoyin, and spoke in a light voice. He asked Baoyin to sit down and asked for tea. Baoyin came up with a smile and said, "What are you looking at, the imperial concubine and Sister Namu?"
"
Wen Xi said: "This is "Autumn Wind at Furong Pu" by Zhang Ying, the flower scout of this dynasty. Your wooden sister likes lotus flowers. I specially sent it to you and we are tasting it together."
But Namu is probably the only Mongolian girl who understands poetry. Tumen Baoyin came up to take a look at her, frowned. She looked at Xuan Bin in confusion and said, "Sister Namu really thinks she looks good."
?"
Xuan Bin covered her mouth with a handkerchief and didn't say anything. She was gentle but burst into laughter. In the autumn, naturally, "the lotus has been exhausted and there is no rain cover". There are only a few residual flowers left. Naturally, it can't be said to be "pretty".
, only said: "I and your sister Namu look at the meaning of the painting, not the beauty of the painting."
Tumen Baoyin had a blank look on her face, and Xuan Bin couldn't tell whether she was angry or smiling, so she put the painting away, as if she was afraid that it would be spoiled by someone who didn't know how to paint!
He said: "The imperial concubine should call me Lianyi. This is my concubine's Chinese name."
Lianyi, Wenxi only now knew that Duanbi had such a clear and elegant name. It was not surprising, she already liked lotus, so she gave herself such a name. Even the Empress Dowager's original name was Bumu.
Butaiye, whose Chinese name is Dayuer.
Concubine Xuan said: "I heard that the concubine went to the emperor in person two days ago and sent an imperial doctor to treat my grandmother at home, but her condition is not good?"
Wen Xi sighed and said, "It's just that I'm getting older and my illness is gone like a thread."
"The weather is getting warmer, I think it will be fine soon."
"Thank you for your good wishes. I hope God will fulfill your wishes." But the old lady Gualjia is almost seventy years old, and few elderly people in this era can live to be seventy years old.
"Yesterday, the imperial concubine's cousin was promoted to the first-class bodyguard. He is really young and promising." Concubine Xuan changed the subject.
"It's just that there happened to be a vacancy!" Linge had just been promoted one level, from a second-class guard of the fourth rank to a first-class guard of the third rank. The number of first-class guards was only 60. He was the second son of the Pearl.
La Kuexu was moved to be the minister of the Ministry of Rites, leaving a vacant position. Linge was a figure who had appeared in front of Kangxi several times, and he had a warm relationship, so Kangxi easily asked him to take his place.
Tumen Baoyin Xu was a little unhappy when she saw Wen Xi and Xuan Bi talking to each other and ignoring her, so she came up to him and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Emperor likes you the most.
Yeah?"
Xu was taking advantage of her young age to ask some inappropriate questions. Wen Xi couldn't say anything to her, so she smiled and said, "How could it be? Of course the emperor's favorite is Concubine Tong of Jingren Palace, and Concubine Tong is the emperor's wife."
My direct cousin, the niece of Empress Dowager Xiaokangzhang." Since she asked that, she was probably interested, and Wen Xi didn't mind helping Concubine Tong create some competitors.
"Really?" Tumen Baoyin murmured, thinking: I am also the emperor's cousin! Then he started to think about competing.
It’s a pity that Kangxi had too many cousins, including Xuanpin Lianyi! The girls of Borjigit’s generation were all Kangxi’s cousins, and the sisters of Tongjia’s and Tong Guifei’s generation were also Kangxi’s cousins!
Even Kangxi couldn’t recognize it!
At this time, Xiao Quanzi, who was beside Kangxi, ran over quickly and said, "Greetings to your master, greetings to master Xuan! Your Majesty invites your master to go to Yangxin Hall to discuss something."
Wen Xi hung the gold clam bracelet in her hand on her clothes and said, "Yangxin Hall is not a place for concubines to go, but what is the emperor's urgent matter?"
Xiao Quanzi said respectfully: "I don't know much about this either. I only know that the emperor sent his servant to invite your master after seeing the memorial from Mr. Cheng'en Gong Bilong."
What was Ye Bilong up to again? He was confused, but he didn't dare to delay. He said goodbye to Concubine Xuan and went to Yangxin Hall.
Speaking of which, this was the first time that Wen Xi came to the Yangxin Hall. She sat on a chariot and took a shortcut past the Yuehua Gate to enter the Yangxin Hall. The white marble steps outside the hall were smooth and snow-white. The Yangxin Hall is located on the west side of the Qianqing Palace.
It is the place where the emperor handles government affairs and summons ministers, so concubines are not allowed to set foot in it easily. The Yangxin Hall is an I-shaped hall, with a front hall of three bays in width and a mountain-style roof with yellow glazed tiles. The Ming Room and the West Wing are covered by rolling sheds.
The name of the palace comes from Mencius' saying, "Nurturing the mind is better than having few desires," which means that the best way to cultivate the mind is to reduce sexual desire. Unfortunately, the emperor's desire for control will only increase and not decrease.
There were countless guards standing outside the hall, including Linge. Wen Xi could not figure out why Kangxi had summoned him, so she had no choice but to be led into the hall by Liang Jiugong. The lighting in the Yangxin Hall was very good, because it was the first place to be used in the Forbidden City.
Where the glass is installed, the light is naturally extra bright.
After saluting, Kangxi called Wen Xi to his side, held a memorial in his hand, handed it to Wen Xi and said, "Read it for yourself."
Wen Xi took it with both hands, feeling uneasy in her heart: "Is it my concubine Amma who got into trouble again?"
Kangxi's face was slightly solemn, but he shook his head, "You will know after seeing it."
As he unfolded the memorial, Ye Bilong's sophisticated handwriting had a sense of dejection and powerlessness: I am a servant of the first class to accept my benefactor, and the minister of internal affairs, Ye Bilong, kowtowed and said: I know my destiny when I am old, and my old illness in my early years is faintly recurring. Only then do I know that I am old.
, time is short!???? However, the eldest son passed away more than a month after the marriage, and the second son is disabled and cannot inherit the title. I specially request that the eldest son of my younger brother adopt him, if God allows it. The servant is so grateful!
The gentle brows are beating for a long time? Wasn't it still alive and kicking a few years ago?! Isn't the eldest son of the younger brother, the one we are talking about Linge? However, Bordu seems to be because his health is getting worse.
I thought of getting married as a wedding ceremony, which could be regarded as a wedding ceremony for the old lady. But it didn't happen, and Bordu was killed. Bordu's wife became a widow just after she became a bride. It's really pitiful! I heard that it was still Zhenghuangqi Bayan.
The girl from the family is from a good background. Another concubine, Borqi, broke his leg????
Wen Xi closed the memorial and asked, "Don't my cousin Linge and my third uncle have any objections?"
Kangxi nodded and said: "Of course, this is a happy event." The gentle third uncle was only a second-class male, but Yi Bilong was a first-class male. If adopted, not only Linge would be able to inherit the title of first-class male Yi Bilong in the future (inherited)
The benefactor is hereditary and cannot be demoted). The third uncle's legitimate second son Sabitun will be demoted to the second-class uncle a hundred years later. It will be beneficial to everyone. The first-class dukedom of Ye Bilong is in
Galuda was granted the title when he canonized the queen. The queen's father had always been granted the title of Duke of Cheng'en (first-class Duke), and now Tong Guowei inherited the Duke of Cheng'en from his father Tong Tulai (father of the Empress Dowager Xiaokangzhang).
"Then I have no objections to my concubine." He thought to himself, Linge at least respects Shu Shujue Luo and will be filial to her after adopting him. It is better than asking a lame concubine to inherit the title.
Jue is indeed not decent!
It seems that Kangxi just informed Wen Xi and wrote: "Then I will issue an edict to allow Linge to adopt the Bilong lineage and inherit his title a hundred years later." Most of the imperial edicts are issued by universities.
Only a few important imperial edicts were drafted by Kangxi himself. A sensual and voluptuous man like Bi Bilong could be considered a "senior" figure!
To be fair, Kangxi's calligraphy was very good, grand and thick, which was very suitable for his status as an emperor. He spoke an imperial edict with great eloquence. Kangxi's face was not red, and his heart did not beat. He praised Er Bilong vigorously, saying "loyalty and bravery" and "loyalty to the emperor with one's body".
", "Be well-equipped with virtue", Wen Xi felt very embarrassed when she saw it, and she didn't know whether E Bilong himself would be ashamed when he heard the angel reading the edict?
"Why didn't you bring me some snacks today?" We've finished talking about business matters, now we're talking about personal matters???
Wen Xi: "????"
"Baocheng likes the Saqima you made very much," Kangxi said.
Are all the young and old so easily bribed with food? Didn't Yinreng hate Suo'etu because she was dismissed from the post of minister of bodyguard? Suddenly I thought of that day, Yinreng would only complain about Tong Jia's family.
He got into trouble, and Kangxi gave the position of minister of bodyguard to Tong Guowei? Did Yinreng put this grudge on the Tongjia family? Does this count as being shot while lying down? As for the one beside him named Xiaotanzi
The young eunuch died in Saihan Lake. His Highness the Crown Prince didn’t care whether the person suspected of murdering the imperial concubine died or lived, as long as he didn’t implicate himself!
"Yesterday, didn't the emperor reward me with some of Zhang Ying's paintings? I knew that Concubine Xuan liked lotus flowers, so I gave Concubine Xuan the painting "Autumn Wind at Furong Pu"." Wen Xi made a ladylike appearance and smiled.
"She?" Kangxi was surprised and a little unhappy, "Why, are you getting close to her?"
Wen Xi also knew that Kangxi didn't like Xuan Concubine, so she put the blame on others, saying: "The Empress Dowager often said that I should let my concubines get closer to Xuan Concubine."
Kangxi was a little helpless and said: "As we get older, we have more things to do. When you are around, you can just deal with it and don't take it seriously!"
????I always thought that Kangxi was very filial to Xiaozhuang????Wen Xi thought in her heart, "In fact, Xuan concubine is well versed in Chinese studies, and has a lot of research on poetry, calligraphy, painting, and music. I get along well with her." (
