Six palaces without concubines in the Red Chamber

0119 Concubine Huang Shu Taoism Yuquan Temple, Lin Daiyu First Enters the Summer Palace

The emperor ignored her and explained to Xi Shiyue, then picked up the porcelain vase on the kang table and looked at it carefully.He just stood in front of him like this, without opening his mouth to speak, and for no reason, he exerted an extra three points of pressure, and his heart also went up and down following his movements, and he couldn't fall to the bottom.

Seeing Concubine Shu's appearance, the Empress Dowager was so tender-hearted that she couldn't bear it.She is also a mother, so she naturally knows the heart of her mother.Looking at Daiyu without any trace, Daiyu immediately understood.After pondering in my heart for a while, I tentatively called out: "Your Majesty?"

"En." The emperor responded, as if he just came back to his senses at this time.There are many unknown emotions in his eyes, but they are well hidden.When it is exposed, there is nothing left but stability, no wind and no waves.

Daiyu paused for a moment, but with just one glance, she seemed to have touched the unspeakable pain in his heart, and she couldn't say the rest of the words.It's human nature to think about it, Princess Rongshou is after all the first child to stand still, she doesn't say she loves her, but she may feel uncomfortable in her heart.

"I'm fine." The emperor obviously didn't want Daiyu to worry about this anymore, and tried his best to act as if nothing had happened.He put the porcelain vase in his sleeve, pointed to the right side of Xiaokang, and signaled her to sit down.

Daiyu sat down as she said, and then heard the emperor ask Concubine Shu: "I'm going to Changchun Garden today, why didn't I talk about it?"

He had stood by the wooden screen door for a long time, long enough to hear the whole thing clearly.Concubine Shu clearly knew about it a long time ago, but she endured it until now before she broke out.

Concubine Shu was already limp on the ground, her hair bun hanging loosely on her shoulders.The light apricot-yellow clothes on her body were ruined badly by her, with scattered traces of sweat and wetness, and the apricot yellow became a deep and rich orange, like an overripe persimmon, exuding the smell of alcohol that symbolizes decay.

Hearing the emperor's question, she shrank her neck subconsciously.The long-accumulated deterrence is especially obvious on her. The emperor has never been gentle and caring towards her, and she is still afraid that he will be angry when the time comes.But in the next moment, she immediately realized that she would no longer be in front of the emperor, whether she became a monk to practice Taoism or died, so what was there to be afraid of?

Thinking of this, Concubine Shu couldn't help laughing.Mixed with ridicule and sarcasm, she thought that at this point, she should be more free and easy, but she didn't expect to be indifferent after all.

The emperor thought of her excruciating kung fu of crying, making trouble and hanging herself, and couldn't help frowning: "I'm asking you something."

"The emperor is the Lord of Longevity. What the emperor values ​​most is the country, the country, and the world." Concubine Shu raised her head, almost looking up at him.He could clearly see the disgust in his eyes, if it had been different in the past, maybe the next moment he would have to scold her for being unruly and ignorant of dignity.But there are no rules, and this is the last time.

Concubine Shu blinked her eyes, tears streaming down both of her eyes: "You love Zhangjiao, but there is too little love and affection for Zhangjiao. If the concubine tells you this, what will the emperor do? For Murong's face, I think I will take the lead in pressing this matter, and then quietly send Zhang Jiao to the Empress Dowager to be raised. Send it to the Empress Dowager? No, you won't."

She turned her head and glanced at Daiyu, feeling a little reconciled in her heart.After so many years, she failed to win his heart.But such a little girl was possessed as soon as she appeared.The Kunyi Palace that she had dreamed for a long time has now become Lin Daiyu's Kunning Palace.

"Empress, my concubine has been waiting for you to enter the garden. Fortunately, the wait has not been too long. Concubine is very happy now that you have become a queen. The emperor loves you, and you have a soft heart. I beg you The emperor is much simpler and easier..."

At this point, there is no need to hide it.He deliberately waited until Lin Daiyu entered the garden, just to bring this matter to her and reveal it.Could it be that Lin Daiyu knew all about it, so the emperor could press it and not mention it?He couldn't do this in front of his sweetheart.

Daiyu fidgeted and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, this..."

The emperor raised his hand to signal her to stop, "I see."

The Emperor hates being calculated by others, and now Concubine Shu is still planning on Daiyu, although it is understandable, but the Empress Dowager is not sure what is going on in his mind right now.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally said a word of persuasion: "Emperor, I have pity on the parents of the world. Be lenient, let alone now that there is a queen, some matters in the inner court should be handled by the queen."

The emperor looked at Concubine Shu coldly for a moment, and sat down on the armchair beside him with his robe lifted. Fang Xu said: "Since the old ancestor has spoken, I will follow the old ancestor's wishes. The queen will deal with it. I won't say much about the inner court."

Their original intention was to make Daiyu stand up, but Daiyu didn't know what was going on, so she couldn't make a decision for a while.After thinking about it for a while, seeing the Empress Dowager looking at her kindly, he said boldly: "I am young and have no experience. My ancestors are very wise, please teach Daiyu."

It is rare for a queen who has just taken office to take care of the trivial affairs of the inner court. It is also reasonable for her to ask the empress dowager to show her.

The empress dowager was waiting for this, but she said to Daiyu on the bright side: "You are capable of managing affairs, but you are just avoiding laziness. Well, I will be the master today, and the queen will take a good look at it." Said Then, she sat up straight and said slowly, "Since Concubine Shu wants to become a monk and practice Taoism, let her go. She is the niece of the Eastern Empress Dowager, so staying in the palace will only cause trouble."

The emperor kept his word, and since he said nothing, he never said anything else.Seeing Daiyu agreeing, she nodded and said, "Qi Xiao is practicing Taoism at Yuquan Temple, so let's send Concubine Shu there."

He has no affection for Concubine Shu, and has no intention of keeping Concubine Shu. At this point, he even added a sentence: "If you want to cultivate the Tao, you must be born. I will abolish her as Concubine Shu tomorrow, so that she can concentrate on cultivating the Tao."

"This..." The Empress Dowager was dumbfounded for a moment, the emperor's intentions were clearly revealed, this was to completely erase the traces of Concubine Shu.

In the Daqing Dynasty, there were not a few members of the royal family who went out of the palace to practice Taoism. For example, the first emperor had a concubine Hui who practiced Taoism with a title.Another example is the Qi Xiao mentioned by the emperor just now, that was a princess born by a nobleman back then, who was brought up by the Eastern Empress Dowager since she was a child, so she can be regarded as a princess born out of the first line.Princess Qi Xiao asked the Supreme Emperor to refer to Tan Hualang. After they got married, the two were considered in love, but Tan Hualang died of illness within two years.Princess Qi Xiaochang could remarry, and the emperor also said to find another spouse for her, but she was unwilling, so she knelt down and begged the emperor to let her become a monk and practice Taoism.Both the emperor and the overlord were helpless, but they couldn't hold her back.Murong has always cherished the princess, so he had no choice but to let her go.It was also for Qi Xiao that Yuquan Temple was built.Although she has a Taoist title, most of them still call her Princess Qi Xiao, and the title has not been abolished.Now the emperor wants Concubine Shu to leave cleanly and refuses to let her stay, which is too heartless.

"Emperor..." The Empress Dowager frowned and said, "Has the Emperor ever thought about how Concubine Shu will be a hundred years from now if the title is abolished?"

After all, it was his concubine, without her title, could she be buried outside the concubine mausoleum after a hundred years?

The emperor didn't like Concubine Shu in the first place, wasting time on Concubine Shu's going or staying, made him even more impatient, so he couldn't help saying coldly: "If she doesn't want to, she will be given death, and she can live in the concubine's mausoleum tomorrow. "

"What are you talking about!" How could he be so cruel, if he wasn't the emperor, the empress dowager would really want to hit him on the head.

"Old ancestor!" Concubine Shu suddenly raised her voice: "Concubine... Concubine is willing!"

As soon as these words came out, even Daiyu was very surprised: "Do you want to understand?"

Concubine Shu paused for a moment, and then nodded her head heavily: "Let the concubine build another tomb... Anyway, originally... originally..."

Anyway, originally, she was someone the emperor didn't want.Why bother, when he was alive, he tried his best to get into his eyes, and after he died, he had to be buried in the concubine's mausoleum to make him unhappy.She is broken, and there is really no need to force her anymore.

The empress dowager sighed, and felt that everyone has their own destiny.She didn't ask Concubine Shu to go back to Changchun Garden, but instead asked someone to tidy up a room in Xinghuachun Pavilion, so that Concubine Shu could stay there for two days before going to Yuquan Temple to practice Taoism.

After going back and forth like this, seeing that it was almost dinner time, the Empress Dowager and Daiyu's nails were only dyed once.

"It seems that I can't dye it today, and I don't have the heart to do it anymore, so let's just do it." The Empress Dowager ordered someone to remove the muslin cloth, but there was a thin layer of moonlight on the nails, and the blue was not full.

Daiyu likes this color very much, she thinks it is light and clear, with a light touch, it doesn't look too rich.The emperor sat and watched them wash their hands, and really couldn't understand why a woman could spend an entire afternoon on her nails.The cotton cloth is wrapped around the finger, and even drinking tea is not pleasant, don't they feel uncomfortable?

The Empress Dowager was really angry today, she said she was tired after dinner.So Daiyu and the emperor got up and resigned from her, and then went out.

Qixi Festival is approaching, the weather is not as hot as before, and there is a slightly cool wind at night.Daiyu followed the emperor for a while, she wanted to say something, but seeing that the emperor was also sullen and silent, she swallowed the words back.

After all, Zhangjiao is his only child, but if he doesn't like her biological mother, how can the emperor not care about her?Knowing that the Eastern Empress Dowager gave cold food to the palm of her hand, the emperor's anger and hatred would never be inferior to that of Concubine Huang Shu.But he is the emperor, and it is his own mother who prescribes the medicine.No matter how angry he was, he couldn't express it.Filial piety imprisoned him, and only the mother reprimanded the son. How could he go against the grain and let the son find fault with his mother?

He sent Zhang Jiao to the Summer Palace, and Dai Yu roughly guessed some reasons.He couldn't touch the Queen Mother, so he could only ask someone who could make the decision to deal with her.

There are so many thoughts in my heart, and if I don't pay attention, my mind will fly into the sky.Daiyu followed the emperor step by step, when she was lost in thought, the emperor suddenly stopped.Daiyu couldn't stop, and bumped into his back.The emperor was also in a daze, and suddenly made her bump half a step forward.

Turning around to look at her, but seeing the moonlight falling on her face like water, she looked more and more graceful.The emperor [1] is not a person who is greedy for beauty, but at this moment he can't help but think that Heng'e [[-]] in Guanghan Palace is covered with moonlight, and the color is nothing more than the same.

He was full of things in his heart, hatred and anger were entangled together, and if he couldn't burst out, it turned into a deep and gloomy wine.But when it comes to Daiyu, no matter how unhappy you are, you must never speak coldly to her.

The emperor reached out and rubbed her bumped head, with helplessness in his tone: "What are you thinking?"

Daiyu blushed and lowered her head and said nothing, this is not what an empress should do, it's too disrespectful, how can she bump into the emperor, even a girl from a small family can't do such a thing.

The emperor knew at a glance that she was annoyed by himself again, so he teased her: "My back hurts because of you."

"Say it again!" Hitting him not lightly but not hard, partly to change the subject, partly because she really wanted to know, Daiyu asked: "Does the emperor want to hand over Princess Rongshou to the ancestors?"

When Zhang Jiao was mentioned, the emperor's expression became lighter.He hasn't made a decision yet, but he has roughly thought about it: "Zhangjiao is weak and difficult to raise. Although you are a queen, you have never raised a child. I'm afraid it will tire you. If you are kind-hearted, it is not known whether Zhangjiao can support you. If you lose it in front of you, you will inevitably be criticized. Besides, the ancestors like children. Princess Yangyi went to the border, and she was already empty under her knees, raising Zhangjiao. Open her heart too."

Daiyu is young and has a soft heart.Concubine Shu cried twice, and her heart softened. She never thought about how much effort it takes to raise such a child.Although he felt sorry for Zhangjiao, he didn't want Daiyu to worry about it.Zhangjiao is weak, so is Daiyu strong and healthy?

"What's more, I promised your parents that I will never ask you to raise other people's children in this life. You can't step into the yard with your front foot, and I will renege on your promise and get fat with your back foot."

He is thoughtful and has thought of everything for himself.After such a little dialing from him, Daiyu also felt that her thinking was too one-sided.He only thought about cherishing the child, but never thought that he had never taken care of the child alone. He was afraid that he would be in a hurry and his good intentions would turn out to be a bad thing.

"The emperor is very thoughtful. Thinking about it this way, it is indeed better for the ancestors to take care of him."

The emperor sent Daiyu to the gate of Chunyuxuan, stood in front of the gate, and said, "It's cool in the night, you should go quickly. Rest early, and you have to go to the Summer Palace tomorrow."

Only then did Daiyu remember that there was such a thing.Tomorrow she has to go to the Summer Palace with the emperor to pay respects to the Supreme Emperor and the Western Empress Dowager.

She was always a little timid in her heart, pulled the emperor's sleeve, and asked in a low voice: "Is the emperor amiable? And the empress dowager..."

She was ashamed to say that she just met the Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager Xi at Changyin Pavilion, and they left early without saying a word.

"The ugly daughter-in-law is only afraid when she sees her parents-in-law. Why is Honghong also afraid?" The expression of her little daughter is really touching, her delicate appearance, her black eyebrows are slightly frowned, turning into a hook, hooking his heart.

"If you talk nonsense again, I will ignore you!"

I don't know when it started, the emperor couldn't see her unhappy anymore.She seemed to be annoyed, and the emperor knew that it was mixed with water, but he couldn't help but raise his hand and surrender.

"Don't worry, we're going back to talk about business, and no one will embarrass you. Compared with me, the Supreme Emperor was more gentle when he was emperor." Without him being so swift and resolute.But it's okay to be discordant, the Supreme Emperor is the father-in-law after all, even if the queen is bad, there is no reason for the father-in-law to reprimand him.

As for the Queen Mother...

"She is the Supreme Emperor's favorite, but she has only raised King Yongle these years." King Yongle is the abolished emperor. Emboldened.What's more, the Queen Mother is not a nosy person.

"The Empress Dowager Xi is very aloof. She doesn't pay attention to everything. She is her own son. If she is stupid, she just looks on coldly. There is absolutely no such thing as earnestness and meddling in her business."

Yan Yongan sent Princess Rongshou into the Summer Palace, and when he got in the car, he knew that he couldn't go back today.Only the empress dowagers, emperors, and empresses can go through the east gate of the Summer Palace, and concubines and ministers can go through the side door. A slave like him can only enter through the small corner door.It's usually like this, but today, under the honor of Princess Rongshou, I can go back to the side door.

Although the Taishang Huang didn't care about the matter, the news was still well-informed.As soon as the news came out from Yuanmingyuan, the Summer Palace knew about it.The Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager lived in Le Shoutang. This was not only the place with the best scenery in the Summer Palace, but it could be said that the whole capital was full of people.

There are two floors of Leshou Hall. To the east is the Hall of Renshou, which can be walked all the way.Because it is the residence of the Supreme Emperor, its scale is by no means inferior to the Qianqing Palace in the palace, and it is even more open and bright than it.Going around the [-]-fold glass screen and entering the bright room of Leshou Hall, you can see the Supreme Emperor sitting on the throne, while the Western Empress Dowager is standing aside, watching the peacock's feathered palm ecstatically.

Yan Yongan came in with Princess Rongshou in his arms. Eunuchs are no better than maids of honor, and they have to kneel firmly when they see anyone.As soon as he came in, he knelt down to pay his respects, and the Queen Mother had no time to help him, so she saw him already kneeling in front of him.

"Get up quickly..." The empress dowager, a calm and calm person, couldn't restrain her emotions when she saw Yan Yongan.Fortunately, Yan Yong'an was much calmer than her, he took a step back lightly and Qiaoqiao, and just avoided it.

Yan Yong'an said: "The servant was ordered to send Princess Rongshou to the Summer Palace."

When the Empress Dowager Xi heard that he called himself a slave, she was so sad that she wanted to cry, she turned her head to look at the Supreme Emperor, and saw that he was hesitating to speak, tears almost fell down.

Fortunately, she held back, but she inevitably had a nasal voice when she spoke, and said in a low voice, "Why are you still asleep, haven't you had dinner yet?"

"The princess is sick, she fell into a drowsy sleep, and rarely wakes up, and she hasn't eaten yet."

Princess Rongshou hasn't had dinner yet, so there is no need to ask Yan Yongan.The Empress Dowager was busy preparing meals, and ordered the maid in front of her to ask Ming Lan's Princess Baorongshou to wash up.

Yan Yong'an handed Princess Rongshou to Ming Lan, then lowered his head and said, "The emperor and empress want to come tomorrow to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager."

The Supreme Emperor and the Western Empress Dowager looked at each other, and when they heard that the emperor had sent Princess Rongshou, they felt a little strange.Now it is even more strange to say that the emperor will bring the newly established empress to pay her respects tomorrow.Could it be that he wanted to pass through Ming Road and put the princess under the queen's lap?The emperor and empress have not yet married, is it too early?

But since the emperor wanted to come, there was no reason to refuse to see him.The Taishanghuang hadn't seen the emperor for some time, and wanted to ask him something.Immediately nodded and said: "I have registered as a queen without authorization, and it is time to bring me to have a look."

Yan Yong'an had the briskness of retiring after his accomplishments, as if he wanted to kneel down and resign.But the Empress Dowager Xi said: "It's getting late, stay for dinner, and go back with the emperor tomorrow."

There was a faint low in her voice, but it didn't touch Yan Yongan, instead it made him frown.Before he could refuse, the Empress Dowager urged Yunxian to get something.She boldly stretched out her hand, wanting to hold Yan Yongan's hand.Yan Yong'an still didn't let her do it, and took a step back, avoiding it by chance.The Empress Dowager was sad, but still forced a smile and said, "I just got two pieces of golden monkey skin[1], which are soft and light. They have already been sewn into trouser legs. You can wear them when the weather gets colder..."

"Rewarded by the Empress Dowager Xie Xi."

This scene is somewhat weird, the empress dowager is humiliating to a eunuch, almost flattering her.And the Supreme Emperor sat on the throne, with a look of no surprise, even hoping for some reaction from the other party.But Yan Yongan was always indifferent, almost conflicted.He is very disciplined everywhere, but he is different everywhere.It's like a person who shouldn't be a slave, but now he is a slave.

Yan Yongan didn't stay after all, he resigned after picking up his trousers, he didn't want to stay any longer.

The Empress Dowager Xi stood behind the ceiling and looked at him, seeing his back gradually drifting away, and then turned her head to meet the eyes of the Supreme Emperor, two lines of tears slowly fell down her cheeks.

"He still hates me after all..."

Early the next morning, Daiyu and the Empress Dowager had breakfast, and the emperor ordered Xi Shiyue to pick her up and go to Qingyan, Kyushu.This time the emperor planned to go out through the Dagong Gate, and then enter the Summer Palace through the East Gate.

There are more and louder bird calls in the Summer Palace than in the Old Summer Palace. When all kinds of birds are mixed together, it becomes the unique music of the Summer Palace.Daiyu heard it amused, opened the curtain to look out, and saw green trees everywhere, and the duckweed on the lake was dark green, growing alternately, and it was full of vitality when viewed from a distance.

This time I went to the Summer Palace to meet the Supreme Emperor, so naturally Daiyu did not ride with the Emperor.I deliberately brought the Lanling given by the emperor, and the Wenru given by the empress dowager.These two are the big ladies in the palace, they are more secure and know more about the inside story.

Seeing her looking out, Wen Ru said with a smile: "I used to live in the Summer Palace with my ancestors. It's not the most beautiful time now. The early spring is especially beautiful. There are vibrant bright green everywhere, and there are pleasant The sound of birds chirping. Living here is not to mention how comfortable it is.”

Daiyu said, "There seem to be more birds singing here?"

"There are more, and there are quite a few rare species. There is a kind of bird called the blue-necked bird. Its singing is not to mention how soft and sweet it is. Because it is expensive to raise, there are only a few pairs in the Summer Palace." , Wenru lowered her voice again, and told Daiyu in a low voice: "The empress dowager is from Beijing, and she loves to listen to birds singing. She can know what birds eat and what food she knows. I heard that there were not so many birds in the Summer Palace in the past, so it is the empress dowager." I like it, the Supreme Emperor asked me to raise it. The Empress Dowager was so angry when she found out, she couldn’t control the Summer Palace, so she could only order in her own Kunyi Palace that no birds were allowed. In order to prevent the singing of birds, she even raised them Many cats are not allowed to be fed, just to watch them pouncing birds to eat."
