Chapter 90: Formation of the Superborn Guerrilla Force 2
Song's month was still young, she was gentle and concubine Shen, so Cheng concubine agreed to hide the matter for the time being and bring it up again after the fetus was stable. Cheng concubine came forward and reported to the minister's office that Song was unwell. Put the green head card away, temporarily exempt her from sleeping, and let her concentrate on raising the baby.
The next day is the Ghost Festival on July 15th, also known as the Ghost Festival. As usual, the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month are days for staying in the middle palace. Although the middle palace is currently ownerless, Kangxi will not visit his concubines during these two days. , usually stay in your own palace to rest, or go to Kunning Palace to sit.
In the evening, Song'er hurried over and whispered: "Master, it's not good, the emperor has gone to Jingren Palace."
Wen Xi's eyes sneered: "I knew she wouldn't stay calm, so what tricks did she use again?"
Song'er looked anxious: "I asked the imperial concubine. Concubine Tong cut her wrist to take blood, wrote the death curse a hundred times on the brocade silk with the blood, and ordered people to send it to Qianqing Palace to ask the emperor to help her. Go to Qin'an Hall to burn it and offer it to Empress Dowager Xiaokangzhang."
Zhu'er added: "Three thousand monks and nuns were gathered in the Tong Mansion outside the palace to chant sutras day and night. People outside said that Tong's Cheng'en Mansion has become a temple!"
Wu Lu also frowned, "Master, there is no need to be angry. The blood relationship between the Tongjia family and Queen Mother Xiaokangzhang is unbreakable, and the blood tie with the Emperor is also unbreakable!"
Wen Xi fiddled with the bright rubies on her armor and said, "Tong Jia was so impatient when she heard that the concubine De was going to be named a concubine, right? The emperor was already deeply disgusted by her successive attempts to murder the emperor's heirs. She didn't wait for the emperor's anger to subside. Are you not afraid of backfiring yourself by resorting to such means?"
Wu Lushi said: "So, even if the emperor goes, he will not lift the ban on Concubine Tong. After all, she is still copying Buddhist scriptures and praying for the Empress Dowager. If she is not allowed to copy, wouldn't it be unfilial?"
Things turned out as Wu Lu expected. Although Kangxi left Jingren Palace at midnight, he did not express any attitude afterward. He also issued an imperial edict, conferring the virtue concubine Wu Ya as the virtuous concubine and the Cheng concubine Dai Jia as the Cheng concubine. The two of them held the canonization ceremony on August 15th. In addition to the Song family, there were also nobles who promised the Liu family Jin Chang Zai and Yi Chang Zai Jin. The canonization ceremony was just a piece of oral edict for the nobles below. , and then inform the Sixth Palace, no canonization ceremony is required.
At the end of July, I went to Jiangxue Pavilion to listen to an opera. Wen Xi was not interested in opera at first, but this time it was the concubine who invited her, and Wen Xi could not refute her face. Jiang Xuexuan is located to the north of Wanchun Pavilion in the Imperial Garden, on the left and right The scenery is pleasant. There are five crabapple trees planted in front of the courtyard. Although it is not the season for crabapples to bloom, there are green shades everywhere and the branches and leaves are green. The entire Jiangxuexuan is much cooler than other places. Because although the crabapples are red when they bloom, the flowers are still red. When it falls, the petals are flying all over the sky and are as white as snow, hence the name Jiang Xuexuan.
Jiangxue Pavilion is located behind the east palace wall, facing east and west. It is five rooms wide and has a hard mountain-style roof with yellow glazed tiles. In front of it, there are three rooms with Xieshan rolling shed roof and open door. The second room has a sill window at the tip. The upper part is the Fushou Wanzi branch window, and the lower part is the large glazed square window. The oil decorations and paintings outside the pavilion are unique. They do not use dazzling gold thread paintings or bright and strong red pillars. Instead, they go against the norm and use The upper and lower sides are painted with bamboo patterns, and the doors and windows are also made of nanmu natural color without oil decoration. The beams, beams, columns, and frames seem to be wrapped in verdant green bamboo. The glazed flower bed in front of the pavilion is planted with peonies and other precious flowers and trees. The stone is a mountain, and it is refreshing, elegant and full of charm. It can be regarded as a good place to enjoy the cool air.
There are quite a few people here today. In addition to Wen Xi, Yi Fei, Hui Fei, and Rong Fei, the three concubines who had been conferred earlier are also here. Although Cheng Fei and De Fei have not had the canonization ceremony, the imperial edict has been issued, so it is a sure thing.
It's a big deal, so the seat I'm sitting in is quite close to the front.
Wen Xi was drowsy after listening to the babbling on the stage. She couldn't even tell the difference between Lu opera and Kun opera, let alone understand what was being sung by a man or a woman on the stage. But she saw Rong next to her.
The concubine, mother and daughter listened in rapt attention, and later the nobleman also brought Princess Shushu, who was very impressed by what she heard!
Concubine Yi and Concubine Cheng were sitting next to each other, chatting with each other. Concubine Yi was shaking the Xiangfei bamboo Ruyi head palace fan in her hand and said: "Concubine Cheng's sister Ama is really thoughtful! We specially invited the best troupe of Huangmei Opera from Suzhou.
Listening to this singing, it’s really pure!”
Concubine Hui also said with a smile: "Actually, with the concubine Cheng's family background and qualifications, she should have been ranked as the fourth concubine long ago. If she is officially canonized tomorrow, she can also help us with the palace affairs."
Concubine Cheng said hurriedly: "How can I compare with my three elder sisters! Sister Huifei's eldest brother and sister Rongfei's third elder brother have already entered school and become sensible. Sister Yifei's fifth elder brother is taken care of by the Queen Mother herself. Naturally,
I have free time to deal with palace affairs. My seventh elder brother is still young and cannot live without his biological mother."
Concubine Yi hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, I was negligent. The seventh elder brother is still young, and the sixth elder brother is also young. Even if the concubine is granted the title of concubine, she will not be able to help us with the palace affairs!"
Concubine Yi called Dai Jia's wife Chengfei, but she called Wuya's concubine, which shows her attitude! After all, neither of them had done the canonization ceremony, so whatever you call her makes sense, it just depends on whether others are willing to respect you. Wuya's family
Her face was still gentle, and she was dressed plainly in an azure flag suit, which matched her identity as a mother who had just lost her child and was still a little sad. Several concubines chatted affectionately, but they left him aside.
Concubine Cheng looked at Wu Yashi and then said: "Sister De just lost her little princess. I'm afraid she will have to worry more about taking care of the sixth elder brother in the future. Naturally, she doesn't care about anything else."
Wu Yashi said sadly: "What the sisters are saying is that I only have six elder brothers now." She called herself "concubine" instead of "concubine", which shows that she puts herself in the position of concubine.
Very high.
It has always been the case that nobles below the concubine rank always call themselves "concubine", concubines and official women, while concubines call themselves "concubine", and only concubines and above can call themselves "concubine" to show their respectability.
Preface. (This is a fabrication, history is not like this, so don’t be surprised.)
The smile in her gentle eyes was hazy: "The Virtuous Concubine really loves her son deeply." The drama on the stage is boring, but the drama off the stage is where the acting skills are outstanding and incomparable!
Wu Yashi just pretended that she didn't understand the sarcasm in the gentle language, and said humbly: "The noble concubine has given you a reward."
Wen Xi lowered her head, looked at Wu Yashi's left foot, and said, "I remember you sprained your foot a month ago. Is it okay now?"
Wu Yashi nodded, "It's almost healed."
"There is a maid in my palace who is good at foot massage, so I will give it to you." Wen Xi said, with a hint of refusal in her tone. Wu Ya was just a concubine before and she dared to stuff people into her palace. Wen Xi naturally also
You are welcome.
Wu Yashi couldn't figure out Wen Xi's meaning at once, so she declined: "How can I want people from the palace of the empress???"
Wen Xi fanned her round fan, with a hint of disdain in her tone: "She's just a palace maid with a bachelor's degree, so I just grabbed a lot of them!"
Wu Ya's face suddenly became a little embarrassed. Isn't she a palace maid who was born as a servant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? She also grabbed a lot of them! But with her position right there, she didn't dare to refute Wen Xi. She could only grit her teeth and endure it silently.
.
The canonization ceremony was held as scheduled, but due to the hasty preparation, it was not as good as the scene of canonizing the three concubines Hui, Yi and Rong. The minister, E Xing Ge, held the festival and conferred the title of De Concubine Wu Ya as De Concubine. The text in the book said: I only treat the root cause.
Home, the celebration of the Sixth Palace of Maoyan. The position should be within the family, and the four virtues should be prepared for the virtuous. The respectfulness will be effective in the boudoir for a long time. Use the light in ascending order to obtain the silk. The concubine Wu Yashi will be consulted. The gentle and good nature will be achieved. Shushen will hold the bow.
. The harmony of moving and wearing pendants shows that you are adept at etiquette. You respect the festival of the early morning and are lazy in diligence. I hereby accept the empress dowager's merciful edict, seal it, and designate you as a virtuous concubine. You are worthy of the rank of Jin.
, the deputy elephant's clothes are even better. I praise Kunyi and arrive at the direction of Hongxiu. It's so impressive.
Just like when the three concubines were canonized at the beginning, the concubines and concubines were the same. However, the canonization envoys were different. The concubine for Dai Jia was the minister of the Ministry of Industry. It can be seen that Kangxi meant to elevate the two to the same height.
He was given a treasure seal and a treasure book. He kowtowed to the Cining Palace and the Ningshou Palace to express gratitude. In the evening, he even held a special banquet to celebrate. The concubines and concubines of the He Palace gathered together, and even Concubine Tong, who was confined, agreed to come out and attend.
feast.
Tong Jia's family was confined for several months, but she was thin, her waist was too round to hold, and she had a charming face. Her chin was much sharper. She and Wen Xi met each other with courtesy and said: "We haven't seen each other for many days, Wen Xi.
My sister looks plump."
Wen Xi couldn't help but bulge her temples, your sister! You are so plump! Your whole family is plump! She raised her eyes and said, "Sister Tong is getting weaker and weaker. Liu Fufeng, 'The King of Chu has such a slim waist, so many people in the palace starve to death'"
', It's a pity that the emperor is not the King of Chu. My sister will have to work hard to eat extra meals in the future!"
Yi Ermu, who was supporting Concubine Tong on the side, couldn't help but said: "Concubine Tong lost weight because she was copying Buddhist scriptures day and night! It's not due to dieting!"
Wen Xi chuckled and said: "Copying Buddhist scriptures for the Empress Dowager is a good deed to accumulate blessings and virtue. How come it has become a burdensome thing for Concubine Tong? Concubine Tong has put herself in such a state, she is not called the Empress Dowager.
Are you uneasy? That’s why I advised Concubine Tong to make an effort to have extra meals, otherwise the Empress Dowager would feel guilty if she found out about it?"
"You -" Yilmu's face turned purple with anger, "Concubine Tong is obviously very filial, how come she turned into a??? in your mouth?"
"Yi promises not to be rude to Concubine Wen Xi!" Concubine Tong suddenly stopped her, and then said to Wen Xi, "I promise to be outspoken, sister, don't mind."
Concubine Tong actually learned to be forbearing, which makes Wen Xi feel strange. Tong Jia is gentle on the surface, but she is more arrogant in her bones than those concubines who were born as noble girls of the Eight Banners! She calls herself the niece of Empress Dowager Xiaokang Zhang, and she shows it everywhere
He acted like he was superior to others, but he actually learned to be patient today, which really surprised Wen Xi!
At this time, Concubine Yi came up and said with a smile: "The two noble concubines seem to be having a very happy chat! Why don't you go to the hall and take a seat? The emperor and all the sisters are already here!"
It is both a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and a canonization banquet, so it is naturally extra luxurious. The music of singing and dancing in the palace is intoxicating. According to their status, Wen Xi and Tong Jia are sitting next to Kangxi. Below them are two newly canonized concubines, Cheng Fei and De Fei.
Concubines, concubines, more than a dozen nobles, and Chang Zai, who was extremely favored, all gathered together, and it was so lively!
Drinking a glass of pear blossom white, Wen Xi saw that Concubine De lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes. She didn't move at all from the food and wine, so she said: "Today's wine is sweet and mellow in the mouth. I remember that Concubine De's favorite wine is pear blossom white. How can I keep it together?"
Can’t even move?”
The concubine Wu Yashi stood up and said happily: "I am also very greedy for this taste, but???" Suddenly she raised her head and looked at Kangxi with charming eyes, her cheeks were flushed, "I have been feeling unwell in my stomach recently. Yesterday I
I invited the imperial doctor to see me, and the imperial doctor said that I have been pregnant for more than a month, so I can't drink alcohol."
Wen Xi was slightly surprised, and the palace was silent for a while. Concubine De's look with her belly drawn up and a calm smile on her face probably stung many people's eyes, right?
Kangxi also looked surprised: "Is it true?"
Concubine De smiled warmly, her face revealing the joy of becoming a mother, "This is not the first time that I am pregnant, so I know it very well."
Concubine Cheng and Wen Xi looked at each other, then they understood and took the opportunity to stand up and said to Kangxi Fu Shen: "What a coincidence! I also have happy news to report to the emperor, and Song Chang Zai in my concubine's palace also has two
Yue is pregnant, and the ancient imperial physician Gu Chengzong personally diagnosed her pulse this morning!"
Debin was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyelids, unable to clearly see the expression in her eyes, and said very kindly: "It shows that sister Chengfei and I are destined! Song Changzai is also blessed!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" Kangxi couldn't conceal his joy, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is indeed a happy day! Double happiness, okay, okay!!"
At this time, Yilmu, who was standing behind Concubine Tong, suddenly stood up, knelt down and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this is not a double happiness, but a triple happiness! Concubine Tong is also exactly one month pregnant!"
Kangxi's face suddenly froze, and he looked at Concubine Tong who was smiling happily, and his eyebrows jumped involuntarily. The look on his face was erratic, a little unbelievable, and a little embarrassed, making it difficult to understand what he was thinking. Kangxi's long face
He took a breath and said, "I am Liang Jiugong! Here comes the imperial doctor!"
Liang Jiugong called for Dr. Xu, who was the best at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in the Imperial Hospital. He happened to be on duty tonight and was summoned by Kangxi, so he came quickly. Dr. Xu arrived in a hurry, with sweat on his forehead. After saluting Kangxi, he came
Diagnosing Concubine Tong's pulse step by step. Almost everyone in the palace, including Kangxi, focused their attention on Concubine Tong.
A quarter of an hour later, Dr. Xu knelt down and said: "Back to the Emperor, Concubine Tong is indeed one month pregnant. However, due to the mother's weakness, the fetus is a little unstable and needs to be nursed back to health."
Immediately, Concubine Tong burst into tears of joy and said, "Thank you, the imperial doctor, for your advice. I must take good care of myself!" She then held the hand of Yi Mu, who was standing beside her, and said, "Thanks to Yi Chang for taking care of me???"
Wen Xi couldn't see the joy on Kang Xi's face. There were mixed feelings in his eyes. He didn't say anything for a long time, but he lowered his head and drank a glass of dull wine. He asked Dr. Xu in a deep voice to take care of Concubine Tong's fetal appearance, and then looked at the pregnant woman with tears of joy.
Concubine Tong, disgusted, intolerable, guilty, embarrassed??? all kinds of expressions intertwined, she tried to murder the emperor's heir again and again, Kangxi couldn't help but feel disgusted; she was Kangxi's direct cousin, making her infertile for many years, Kangxi naturally felt guilty; similarly,
Of course he couldn't bear to kill his own flesh and blood with his own hands; he was exactly one month pregnant, so on the Zhongyuan Festival, Kangxi was supposed to go to Fengxian Hall to worship his biological mother, but instead he slept with his cousin. How could he?
Not embarrassed?
Kangxi lowered his head and poured himself a few more cups. The concubines in the palace were all laughing and congratulating Concubine Tong, Concubine De and Song Chang on the pregnancy. Kangxi felt a little lonely amidst the joy.
Finally, Kangxi said: "Since you are pregnant, you should take good care of yourself. You can copy the scriptures slowly, there is no need to rush."
With a shy look on her face, Tong Jia nodded quickly and said, "Yes, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
"But -" Kangxi's eyes flashed sternly, "Your fetus is not stable, it's best to rest peacefully and don't go out at will." - This meant that Concubine Tong should continue to be grounded.
Tong Jia's eyes suddenly turned gloomy, and she could only nod her head obediently: "Yes."
Kangxi couldn't help but relax his tone, "It will take at least three months and the fetal condition is stable before it can be done."
Mrs. Tong Jia was overjoyed again, her eyebrows were full of spring, and her tone was a little higher: "Yes! I must take good care of the baby! I must give birth to a healthy little brother for the emperor!"
Kangxi closed his eyes, exhaled slowly, stood up and left the lively Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. After Kangxi left, there was no need for the concubines to stay, and there was no need for them to become harem concubines one by one against their will.
With the gesture of being as close as sisters, they all left.
So the concubines were probably thinking, would the emperor accompany Concubine De tonight, or comfort Concubine Tong? But they all guessed wrong. Kangxi left the banquet and went straight to Kunning Palace. (To be continued. If you like this
