Shu Jin’s idea was very simple, let Yongzheng accept Horqin’s concubine!
Allowing the Borzigit family to stay in this harem and ending the continuation would be tantamount to benefiting the Empress Dowager's natal family. The Empress Dowager would naturally reciprocate the favor and help Yongzheng suppress her own mother.
This logic is so perfect.
The eighth day of April was an auspicious day for relocation. Yongzheng moved his grandmother, the Empress Dowager, to Cining Palace, which was considered a major event in the harem.
Three or five days later, the concubines gathered at Zhongcui Palace to pay their respects. Concubine Qi finally handed over the ten-fold copy of the palace rules to the queen for inspection.
But the Queen was a little absent-minded today. She just scanned it hurriedly, put it down and turned to the concubines present: "Yesterday, I went to Cining Palace to pay my respects. Seeing that the Empress Dowager was in great spirits, she casually asked two questions.
Then I realized that it was the Emperor who gave Horqin permission to send a princess to serve her."
Shu Jin secretly thought: Yongzheng moved very quickly and sold himself very quickly.
But Shu Jin clearly saw that Concubine Qi's face was not very good-looking, and even Concubine Qi couldn't hold back: "Are you here to serve the Empress Dowager? Or to serve the Emperor?!"
The queen chuckled lightly: "Is there any difference?"
Concubine Qi sat back on the chair with a stiff face, her fists clenched under her sleeves.
This is Horqin's Princess, whose surname is Borzigit!
Who doesn’t know how powerful this family is!
Empress Xiaozhuangwen, Empress Xiaoduanwen, and the current Empress Dowager and her aunt... those are all Emperor Shunzhi's empresses!
Horqin's Princess, she must be a concubine after all, right? If she gives birth to an elder brother in the future... Hongshi, the eldest son of the emperor, what does it matter? The longevity of the queen's knees must be inferior!!
This person poses a greater threat than Concubine Nian!
Concubine Xi Niu Hulu also couldn't sit still, so she stood up and said: "Queen, Madam, the late emperor granted me the marriage to Fu Jin, when will I be able to enter the palace?"
Compared with Horqin's Princess occupying the last concubine position, it would be better to take advantage of the Nian family! No matter how prominent and glorious the Nian family's father and brother are, they are still the banner of the Han army!
The queen nodded solemnly: "What Concubine Xi said is true. The Nian family was given a marriage by the late emperor when he was still alive. I should also remind the emperor to welcome the Nian family into the palace as soon as possible."
Concubine Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but smile bitterly, and sat back on the chair silently. She had thought that Nian was a threat before, but she didn't expect that there would be another mountain higher...
Concubine Qi's face was still quite unhappy: "The emperor is so good, why would he want Horqin Gege to enter the palace? It's not the year of the draft!"
A hint of disdain flashed in the queen's eyes, and she said solemnly: "So, I was admitted to the palace in the name of serving the empress dowager." - She is not a show girl! But her status must not be low!
Concubine Qi gritted her teeth, "One after another, it's really lively!"
Seeing that the empress, Concubine Qi, and Concubine Xi all looked ugly, Shu Jin silently lowered his presence, but he must not let them know that this bad idea was mine, otherwise he would have to tear me apart.
Shu Jin hurriedly smiled and said: "Marriage between Manchu and Mongolia is an old custom. In the past, the late emperor also accepted Horqin's princess." This is the current Concubine Xuan. The late Emperor Concubine Xuan was a concubine with almost no sense of existence.
Although the late emperor's imperial concubine had long decreed that she be a concubine, the canonization ceremony was never carried out. It was only after Yongzheng ascended the throne that she was honored as Princess Xuan. As for the favor, there was no love at all, let alone a son and a half daughter.
Hearing this, the three concubines breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, Horqin is no longer what he was then.
The queen nodded and said: "What Concubine Yu said is true. Since it is Horqin's character, she must be sorted out of the main hall and must not be treated badly." - Just feed her well, drink well and treat her well.
If she is just an image concubine trying to save face, she can naturally feel at ease.
It's just that Yongzheng is still counting on the Empress Dowager to help, for fear of neglecting Horqin's princess... Shu Jin secretly thought.
But it's okay, I'm afraid that by then, the Queen and Concubine Qi will be very worried, and with the addition of a new concubine, they won't be able to care about her anymore.
The good days of lying flat are just around the corner!
Wonderful!
Concubine Qi picked up the tea and took a sip, her expression became more relaxed, "Speaking of which, after the emperor ascended the throne, apart from visiting Zhongcui Palace twice, he only visited Chengqian Palace, the home of Concubine Yu's sister." Visiting Zhongcui.
The two times she went to the palace, one of them was when she was greeting the queen, she lectured the queen in front of the concubines.
Shu Jin smiled hurriedly and said: "The emperor went to my palace to visit Li Guiren and Tian Shen."
Maobin Song also hurriedly agreed: "Yes, I happened to be there that day, and the emperor asked me to spend more time with Li Guiren to talk and relieve his boredom."
Shu Jin is really grateful to Mao Bin for telling her lie...
The Queen could only force out a smile: "Your Majesty has a fatherly heart, and of course he will love his children. The Emperor personally selected the teachers for Third Brother. The Emperor is so busy that he has not even turned over the sign since he came to the throne, but he cares about Third Brother very much.
Regarding my studies, I have to take exams every now and then and ask questions."
Hearing this, Concubine Qi couldn't help but feel proud: "Hongshi is the emperor's eldest son and the only elder brother who is admitted to the school, so the emperor naturally attaches great importance to him."
The Queen's expression turned a little darker, but she had to admit that after the Emperor ascended the throne, he indeed valued Hongshi more and more...Hongshi was indeed the biggest threat!
The queen took a deep breath and said, "Concubine Xi will stay, and everyone else should disperse."
Shu Jin also took the opportunity to invite Mao Bi to have tea in Chengqian Palace.
The room had just retreated, and Mao Bi asked in a low voice: "The emperor suddenly arrived that day... Not long after, Horqin's princess was to be taken into the palace. Does this have anything to do with you?"
The tea Shu Jincai drank in his mouth almost spit out. I have to say that Mao Bi is really too smart.
Mao Bi looked at Concubine Yu's expression and felt a little clear in her heart. While thinking about it, she said slowly: "What worries the emperor is simply that the queen mother refuses to move the palace. And yesterday, Cining Palace just announced
, Ningshou Palace should be given to the Queen Mother to live in..."
Mao Bi took a deep look at the seemingly gentle Concubine Yu in front of her and said, "Horqin Gege's entry into the palace is indeed a good bargaining chip to impress the Empress Dowager. You are really smart."
How dare Shu Jin admit: "Don't talk nonsense, it was all the emperor's own idea." Anyway, Yongzheng had a strict tone, so she didn't have to worry about being betrayed.
Maobin smiled and said, "Okay, my good wife, I don't have to worry about it. I keep my mouth shut, so you can rest assured."
Shu Jin laughed sarcastically: "Actually, it's good to have some fun in the harem. When others are busy, we can live in peace, right?" This is why we say that fellow Taoists should not die as poor Taoists!
Mao Bi covered her lips and smiled, "You have a lot of crazy ideas!"
After laughing, Mao Bi couldn't help but think about it carefully, and then nodded and said: "If you are not favored, it will not harm us. If you are favored, it will be a headache for the Queen, Concubine Qi, and Concubine Xi. If you add the Nian family, it will be a headache for us."
When we are brought into the palace, for your sake, we will have to fight first. Then it will indeed be lively."
