Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

Chapter 294

Yingluo signaled Nanny Pan and Concubine Jia to leave, then locked the door by herself, walked over, sat on the ground, and sat next to the queen.Nala sneered and said: Haven't you said enough?It's rare that you want to talk to me.Yingluo said: Empress, do you know that it is all because of me that you are what you are today.Nala looked at her in amazement, and Yingluo also looked at her.

Nalashi finally nodded, and said: I understand, Concubine Ling, she was designed by you to deal with me, to avenge Fucha Rongyin. The old name 'Ling' and 'Yuelu Zhiyin' were all given to her by you from Hongli!And you and Hongli don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes. You wear the emerald beads that Hongli gave you when you arrived at the ceremony. He strictly forbids rumors, but he often wears a purse made by you. It’s really trying to hide it!Fu Heng is even more ridiculous, or he is a dumb man who eats Coptis chinensis and swallows his anger.

Yingluo couldn't help laughing, laughed for a while, and then said:

Chaozhu, the emperor wants me to wear it, and I can't resist the order.Purse, empress, you are thinking too much.But Wei Mei, your thinking is not wrong, not only her, but also Gu Qin, the opera singer you mentioned, she did not come up from Gusu, she is the top official of the Yujingyuan troupe, she went to sing in the palace It's been a play, but you don't remember her long ago.However, she and the emperor were not playing games. She had been with the emperor for many years. This time the emperor took her on a tour to the south and asked her to have a child, it was for the Qian family in Jiaxing.Others in the palace don't know about the Emperor's visit to the Yujing Garden and Chunhe Garden, but the empress seems to know, but you are completely wrong... In fact, they are all chosen by the emperor, and I am just following the trend.

Concubine Rong knows everything. She knew who I am, Wei Mei, and Gu Qin early in the morning.And the emperor and she knew that Fukang'an was the emperor's son.Doro next to the emperor, he is my brother-in-law. The list of secret contacts between you and the prince in court was secretly collected by the emperor.Also, Xiao Quanzi, do you still remember?It turned out that the eunuch of Yanxi Palace, after he followed me out of the palace, the emperor ordered him to secretly investigate the contacts between officials at all levels and people in the court in the south of the Yangtze River...

Nala shook her body, looked at her in disbelief, and after a while, said: I understand, you have always remembered about your sister Wei Yingning, I should have thought a long time ago, you will definitely deal with Hongzhou. It's been 24 years, you never forget... Then you snorted: Is it because Concubine Rong has been helping you deal with Hong Zhou, the Pope and his brother?Yingluo blinked her eyes, but said nothing.The queen smiled and said: What a beauty trick!You want to ruin Hongzhou's reputation, but the emperor said that he would not announce what happened that night, nor would he kill him, you miscalculated.You took those two women with you because you planned to reveal your revenge at this time... It's just about Rong Yin, how did you know it was me?

Yingluo looked at her with a little compassion, and said: That year, I knew everything when I rescued Concubine Jia at the request of the Jin family. Before that, I didn't know or doubt.Nala nodded and sighed: It's hard to wait for you for so many years.Changchun Palace is really haunted.It's all my kindness, otherwise you would still be alive.

Yingluo laughed and said:

Empress, you are right, the Changchun Palace will always be there, because it was the Changchun Palace of the former empress.But you didn't kill me back then because you couldn't kill me, not because of your benevolence.In fact, when Gao Guifei was poured with molten iron, you used my hand to mix gold juice and kill her. If the incident happened, you could push me to take the blame. That's why you would speak for me when the emperor was interrogating me in Xinzheku , and I'm a Xinzheku slave, you didn't pay attention at all.Later, I became a concubine Ling and the emperor doted on me, so you took advantage of Yuan Chunwang and exposed Erqing to turn me against the emperor, so you could kill me, but unfortunately you couldn't.

When I stayed in Yuanmingyuan, the Empress Dowager was by my side, so it's not easy for you to do anything.And if I die at your hands, neither Fu Heng nor the emperor will let you go, that's why you used Madam Qian's matter to force the Queen Mother to send me out of the palace to stay away from the emperor.I think you understand better now, no matter what, you can't kill me because the emperor is there.But speaking of it, I am very grateful to you. Without you, I would not be Mrs. Nalan, and I would not have had so many years with Fu Heng.If I really wanted to be with the emperor, I wouldn't have gone to the Old Summer Palace back then. Wei Yingluo didn't like the Forbidden City, and secondly, she didn't like power. She entered the palace for revenge, and you always regarded me as an imaginary opponent.Later, it was because I knew that you killed the first empress, so I naturally wanted to take revenge.

Nala snorted, and said: "It doesn't matter who you are, whether it's Lingfei or Mrs. Nalan, no matter how Hongli tries to change your appearance for you to deceive others, and it doesn't matter whether you still have trouble with him after leaving the palace. You were always born a lowly coated minion.Queen Mother, who is she?The same unborn Wangfu Gege killed her mother and seized her son. Could it be that her crime is lightened? !In order to get revenge, you did not hesitate to find an actor to confuse the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Can Rong Yin rest in peace underground? !You are really unscrupulous, Fu Heng is clever in vain, the most capable minister of the Qing Dynasty, but he is fascinated by you, and even allows you to insult his sister, the former queen of the Qing Dynasty.

Yingluo laughed again, looked at her and said:

Empress, you are right, I was born as a slave in clothes, but is it really so important in your heart?Then I can only say, no wonder the emperor has no heart for you.You know, the emperor's biological mother was born as a slave, and the emperor knew that the queen mother had really killed the mother and seized the son, but you didn't know that the emperor had resolved the knot with the queen mother early in the morning.Concubine Rong and I learned the truth and told her. Back then, the Empress Dowager wanted the Emperor, but it was also for the Emperor to ascend to the throne. Because of this reason, Madam Qian died calmly. Just ask, you, who were born noble, have a noble status Can you do it?Without the Empress Dowager and Madam Qian, you would never have become the empress of the Qing Dynasty, and we would not be who we are now.Empress, the grievances and grievances in this palace are difficult, you will not fail to understand.

Nala's body shook slightly again.

Yingluo continued:

As for Gu Qin, yes, because of her poor family, she was sold into an opera troupe since she was a child, but she is innocent, self-supporting, hard-working, not inferior to anyone else, and she understands righteousness, she is a good girl.The theater troupe of Yujing Garden was originally formed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so she was originally a member of the emperor, and the emperor and her, in fact, originated from the thought of the former empress, because the former empress will never be forgotten in the emperor's heart.First, the Empress Dowager knows, she will feel comforted.What kind of person she is, I know better than you.If I hadn't stopped her, the emperor would have given Gu Qin the title she deserved.As for Gu Qin herself, she didn't care about her status at all, and she had no intention of entering the palace. She liked to sing.Empress, not all women are like the women in the palace, as you think.

There is also Concubine Rong, she is from a famous family, she is beautiful and smart, but the emperor treats her because she was in Yangzhou when the White Lotus Sect colluded with bandits to assassinate the emperor, and she sacrificed her life for the emperor. I got rid of the poison of the concubine Wan.

Nala's heart was shocked, and she was speechless.Yingluo continued: "You didn't touch Concubine Rong and Concubine Ling, it's also because of the Emperor, you can't kill them, and there are no Concubine Gao, Concubine Chun and Concubine Jia in the harem, so you can no longer kill with a knife."You are at odds with the empress dowager, let the emperor know that the empress dowager killed the mother and seized the son, and alienated the empress dowager, it will not shake your posthumous position, and you have been using Hong Zhou in the previous dynasty to cultivate power secretly, it is not easy to abolish the empress, let alone many The ministers who are attached to you will definitely oppose it strongly and fight with reason, so you have nothing to worry about, and you have long since ignored the Queen Mother.Aren't you the one who split between the Pope and Brother Hong Zhou?You have been using Yuan Chunwang all the time, but you were used by him instead.You say that I am unscrupulous, compared with you, it is nothing.

Nalashi still didn't speak, Yingluo said to herself: I tell you the truth because I am not happy to see you like this today.The emperor is also very unhappy when he sees you like this.Queens, there are no winners here.I tell you the truth because, back then, when I was punished to work in Xinzheku, I was so exhausted that I passed out on the corridor in the palace, and it was you who ordered someone to take care of me.Shen Bi once learned the rules by your side, she said, you treated her well then.She and I both owed you, but we had to do this, for the sake of the empress and the emperor, and for the sake of so many people who died in your hands.Yingluo will return your favor to Yingluo today.

As he spoke, he kowtowed, then stood up and said, "I think, Your Majesty, he won't kill you, let alone embarrass Brother Twelve, that is also his son."Then he turned and walked out and closed the door.

Inside the door, Nalashi laughed, and after a while, she stopped laughing, got up slowly, walked into the inner room, sat down, looked at the bunch of broken hair and the string of quiet pink tourmaline beads in front of the mirror, and said softly : Hongli, you are really my good husband, this is not Wei Yingluo, this is you.What is alienating the queen mother, letting go of military aircraft, romance, and the Longevity Festival... It turns out that Huang Xing, the eunuch leader next to Yongxuan, is just acting for his honesty and reticence.That's right, he was born as an actor, it's really a good show... It's just that I will never treat you like you treat me.As he said that, another line of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, and flowed down, soaking the yellow gauze robe.

After Yingluo went out, she closed her eyes, took a long breath, and sighed as she walked. In fact, as early as after Fu Kang'an said about Empress Lu Liu Bang, the couple felt that the time was right, so Fu Heng informed the emperor, and then she arranged for Nanny Pan In the Spring Palace, she made a statement to the emperor and told the emperor that Concubine Jia was still alive.Fu Heng also arranged for the family of Yaerhashan who had already left Beijing to confess to the emperor that Yaerhashan was actually attached to the queen, and his family was hunted down after his death. The emperor knew about it, but thought it was Hong Zhou for.

The emperor never said what to do, but both Fu Heng and she knew that the emperor ordered to take two witnesses on a southern tour to deal with the empress.Before the southern tour, Concubine Jia secretly arrived in Beijing and met the emperor in the Spring Palace.Li Yu and Doro were left outside the house without knowing about the meeting with the witness.And Yingluo wrote all the letters to Concubine Rong.Just now the empress had her hair cut, this matter is no small matter, Li Yu immediately went to ask Concubine Rong to persuade the emperor and empress to make peace after returning.Concubine Rong went to Yingluo and brought the witnesses who lived in her courtyard over to have a look.

Then she went to the Queen Mother, and the three of them closed the door.What Yingluo said was brief, and didn't mention what Nala said about the queen mother who killed her mother and took her son from a humble background, but when the queen mother heard that Nala's hair was cut off, her eyes burst into flames, and she said angrily: "Bitch, how dare you curse my mother and son!"Nanny Liu hurriedly helped her to rub her chest and beat her back, while persuading her: "The queen mother calm down, take care of yourself."The Queen Mother snorted coldly, and said: No one is allowed to know, tell Shen Bi and the imperial physician to watch over the Emperor, and come back to me immediately if there is anything to do.Both Yingluo and Nanny Liu hurriedly knelt in front of her and said, "I obey the order."

On this day, it was the eighteenth day of the second lunar month, only Concubine Ling, Concubine Rong, and Concubine Qing accompanied the emperor for dinner. Everything was as usual, peaceful and peaceful. The emperor said that the empress was ill.The word "Empress" on the dining table was pasted with paper and replaced with the word "Ling Guifei".Concubine Shu accompanied the Queen Mother for dinner as usual.On the same day, the emperor sent Duo Luo to send the queen back to the palace by water, and asked Nala to recuperate in the back hall of Yikun Palace, and not to see anyone.

At noon on the second day, according to the itinerary, the emperor, concubines and Mrs. Nalan accompanied the queen mother to burn incense and worship Buddha in Lingyin Temple, west of the West Lake.Guided by the abbot of Lingyin Temple, he entered the mountain gate, bypassed the "Li Gong Pagoda" where the ashes of monk Huili, the founder of Lingyin Temple, were buried, passed Chuncong Pavilion, walked up the stream, and arrived in front of the Temple of Heavenly Kings. Zuqin inscribed "Yunlin Temple" on the imperial pen plaque.

Entering the Mahavira Hall, cigarettes are curling up inside, resplendent and resplendent, Sakyamuni on the lotus seat is high above, half-closed his eyes, and all the monks sit on the ground and sing scriptures.Both the empress dowager and the emperor knelt on the futon, clasped their hands together, and closed their eyes.The solemn bell rang in the hall.Behind the mother and son was Concubine Ling, Concubine Rong, Concubine Shu and Concubine Qing, Ying Luo and Mammy Liu who were kneeling in the last row looked at each other, filled with emotion.

Also on this day, Madam Pan was sent by Fu Heng to return to Prince Rong's Mansion from Hangzhou by land. Since then, she no longer has to worry about her safety and future.In Chunhe Garden, when she told the emperor what happened back then, the emperor burst into tears several times.Nanny Pan was moved and said to the emperor: After so many years, I never thought that Long Live God would still miss the noble concubine master so much. The master said at that time that she would rather be disgusted by everyone than you. up!The emperor said to her: Madam Nalan means what I mean, she will take care of you.

Last night, Nanny Pan knelt in front of Yingluo, saying that her long-cherished wish was over and she let Yingluo dispose of her.Yingluo pulled her up and said: I haven't told the emperor anything, and the emperor still doesn't know about many things.Concubine Gao has committed a great crime. Back then, when she comforted my sister on the corridor in the palace, she did not have any good intentions. She noticed that her sister was a little unusual for a long time. She deliberately wore a costume and made up to pretend to be a man, and approached her to find out about the harem. secret.Her sister didn't tell her, so she said that her sister deliberately had an affair with a "man" of hers, and asked someone to come and get her.

Mother Pan was taken aback, she hastily knelt down and said: This... this slave really doesn't know, after what happened to the imperial concubine and the master, the slave believed everything that the concubine and master said was true, and definitely didn't intentionally deceive Madam.The slave is not afraid to say something that will annoy the madam. At that time, the noble concubine and the master were extremely lonely and depressed in the palace, so there are these things, right?well!

Yingluo smiled and said: "You don't have to be afraid, no matter what Concubine Gao did, she died to pay for it, and what happened to you later has already paid for your crimes. I have investigated everything about my sister in the palace. I used to be from the palace, and she is my sister.Concubine Gao Guifei has a pitiful background, but she deserves to die. You are just following her orders, so how can you be responsible for her? I understand.Now, you should serve the emperor's grandson well for the sake of the emperor. By serving Yongqi's child, you are atoning for your master's sin. This is God's will.Yongqi and Little Gege don't know anything, so it must be good for you.No one will embarrass you now, but if you need it, send me a message anytime.Let's not bring up the past again, but if I know that you are still restless, I will not let you go.Mother Pan kowtowed in tears and thanked Madam Nalan again for her generosity.

Before she was going to take Nanny Pan on a tour to the south, what Yingluo told Yongqi and Yiboer was that she was asked to help investigate the old cases in the palace, but she didn't mention the old cases, and the two of them didn't ask.After Pan Momo returned to the palace, the two expressed condolences, saying that she thought she was going with Mrs. Nalan, and others would definitely not be able to make things difficult for her.Mother Pan wept again, saying that no one made things difficult for her, and the matter was over, thanking Wang Ye and Ge Ge for caring about her so much.

The author has something to say:

In history, it was Fu Long'an who sent Nala's family halfway back to the palace. At that time, he was in his early twenties and was the Minister of Luan Yiwei.

The plot of Concubine Gao and Wei Yingning was deleted from the original play, and added into the novel based on what the actors said.

Supplementary narration [Fu Heng's second daughter in history] one of

Fu Heng has two daughters. The eldest daughter is Yongxuan, the eleventh son of Emperor Qianlong, and the second daughter is Chunying, Prince Rui. Marriage status, they should all be daughters-in-law.Therefore, in the early years of Jiaqing, some people thought that "Dream of Red Mansions" "either refers to Zhu's family, or it refers to Fu Heng's family. There are queens in the book and concubines outside, which means that the Zhongyong family is close."

Fu Heng's eldest daughter, Yongxuan, descended from the Fucha clan of Fujin. In the 31st year of Qianlong's reign, she married Yongxuan in Chonghua Palace and had two sons and a daughter. According to the medical records entered in "The Collection of Medical Records of the Qing Palace", it can be seen that after marriage, due to unsatisfactory life, she suffered from emotional depression, mental disorder, [-]th Fujin talking, crying and laughing, etc., which belonged to the scope of madness.It is said that Yongxing is mean and stingy, and Fucha's life is hard, besides having his dowry confiscated by Yongxing, he also wears coarse clothes and sackcloth, and eats light tea and light porridge. It's hard to believe that I'm full and not warm.

Yongxing has a very strange temperament. He is the son of Concubine Jia (Concubine Jia gave birth to four sons, and after giving birth to the nine sons of the emperor, she was named Concubine Jia. Afterwards, the Jin family carried out the wrapping flag. The day after his death, he was named Huang Guifei, He was buried together with Qianlong in the Yuling Underground Palace, which shows that the Holy Family's Long) was smart, studious, very talented, and a famous calligrapher. It is said that Qianlong liked him very much and was a strong candidate for the crown prince at that time. It was difficult to decide among the fifth princes, but in the end they chose the peaceful Yong Yan.However, it can be seen from his marriage that Qianlong attached great importance to Fu Heng and the Fucha clan. It seems that he chose Fu Heng's eldest daughter as the future queen. Yan is only six years old.

Fu Heng's second son-in-law, Chun Ying, was born in the 26th year of Qianlong and was orphaned at the age of nine. Gong, at the age of 14, walked in Qianqingmen, which shows Qianlong's love for him.At the age of ten, he attacked Enfu Guogong, and at the age of 14, he was appointed to the Qianqing Gate, which shows how serious Qianlong was to him.Qianlong 43 years.Zhao Ling "recovered the titles of Prince Rui, Prince Yu Duoduo, Prince Li Daishan, Prince Zheng Jierhalang, Prince Su Hauge, and King Yuetuo of Keqin County, and they were all entitled to the Taimiao."This time the one who ordered to attack Prince Feng Rui was Chun Ying, who was only 17 years old.

Chunying later served as Prime Minister Zhenghongqi Jueluo Zongxue, granted Zongrenfu Zongling, vice president of Chongyu Hall, managed Zhenghuangqi Han Army Commander, appointed Zhenghuangqi Leader Guard Minister, adjusted Zongrenfu Zuo Zongzheng and You Zongzheng.During the Jiaqing period, he was successively awarded the Minister of Guards who led the Zhenghuang Banner, the Minister of the Guards who led the White Banner, and the Minister of the Imperial Palace after the expiration of the red-studded period.His first son, the next generation, Prince Rui Baoen, was born in the 43rd year of Qianlong and passed away in the seventh year of Jiaqing.After Baoen passed away, Chunying's fourth son, Duan En, continued to inherit Prince Rui, and was also the direct son of the Fucha family.The distinction between concubine and concubine was very strict in feudal society.His second son, Yuen (a concubine), served successively as Minister of the Shangsi Academy during the Jia and Dao years, moved to the cabinet, the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the secretary of the Lifan Academy, and the co-organizer of the university. characters.As one of the eight iron-capped kings who are "hereditary and irreplaceable", the family of Prince Rui is still prominent after the end of the Qing Dynasty. ?
