Chapter 720 Yongzheng's ghost operation(1/2)
"Writing is not easy. Although there are some pitfalls, please support genuine reading (qi dian zhong wen wang) and avoid piracy!"
Imperial Concubine Dunyi soon brought her people to Kunning Palace and exchanged greetings with Qingyi with a smile on her face.
Well, it's obviously a cousin-cousin relationship, but now...
The cousin is the empress of the middle palace and has become a junior, while the younger cousin is the widow of the late emperor and now the imperial concubine. Qingyi feels embarrassed just thinking about this scene, but there is nothing she can do about it!
After all, this is a very common phenomenon among the Qing royal family...
Sisters marry father and son, or aunt and nephew serve the same husband together!
"I send my regards to the Imperial Concubine, may the Imperial Concubine be blessed." From Aixinjueluo's point of view, Qingyi is a junior, and although the Imperial Concubine Dunyi is not very old, she is the widow of the late emperor.
, is an elder.
If she is just an ordinary concubine, even if she is the widow of the late emperor, she is not qualified for Qingyi, the queen of the middle palace, to pay her respects, but the imperial concubine Dunyi is different...
Imperial Concubine Dunyi belongs to the rank of imperial concubine!
As for the imperial concubine, she was the consort of the concubine in the Qing Dynasty, and Qingyi, the empress, was a junior, so it was reasonable to pay homage to the imperial concubine Dunyi.
As an emperor and a courtier, Princess Dunyi, although she was the widow of the late emperor and her elder, did not dare to truly accept the courtesy of Qingyi, the empress of the middle palace, so she quickly avoided it at this time.
, and at the same time said with a smile: "Empress, there is no need to be polite. According to the etiquette, the Ai family should salute the Empress..."
Slightly bending her knees, Imperial Concubine Dunyi also wanted to give Qingyi a half salute!
Qingyi nodded with a smile, and then called Princess Dunyi to take a seat. She was secretly thinking about how to talk about this matter. How is the discussion going on with the envoys from the Bahrain Department on the Emperor's side?
"I wonder why the Queen invited the Ai family to come to Kunning Palace today?" After pondering for a while, Princess Dunyi said with a smile, secretly thinking that she and the Queen were embarrassed because of their status.
We have rarely seen each other.
now......
Now that the Queen has sent someone to invite her, what is she going to do?
Qingyi's face was startled, and then she said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I suddenly miss Imperial Concubine Dunyi, and I feel some discomfort during pregnancy, so I invited Imperial Concubine to Kunning Palace.
, let me talk to you."
Hey, how could this make her open her mouth?
The wrong thing the Eighth Princess did herself is now being borne by the daughter of Princess Dunyi and the Emperor's Nineteenth Sister, Princess Dunshun...
Imperial Concubine Dunyi smiled and said nothing, secretly thinking that the Queen's behavior was definitely a drunkard's intention.
"By the way, Imperial Concubine, is everything going well in Shoukang Palace these days? Are the palace servants serving you doing their best?" What she wanted to ask in her heart, Qingyi couldn't speak after all, so she could only be reserved.
Tactfully concerned about the food, clothing, housing and transportation of Princess Dunyi in the palace.
She thought that the matter of letting Princess Dunshun, the daughter of Princess Dunyi, stand in for the Eighth Princess and the pro-Bahrain tribe. The matter has not yet been decided, so it is better not to mention it to Princess Dunyi, so as not to hurt the harmony.
....
Princess Dunyi pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, Queen. Everything is well with the Ai family in Shoukang Palace. Now I hope that Zhaoyi (the eighteenth princess of the late emperor, the daughter of Princess Dunyi) has
Referring to the marriage to Princess Feng Lun Zhaoyi of the Horqin Tribe of Mongolia, the wedding date is scheduled for one year later), Dunshun and the others can be safe and sound."
Well, in her life, in the thirty-seventh year of the late emperor's reign, she entered the imperial palace at the age of fifteen and became a noble lady of the emperor. In her thirty-eighth year, she gave birth to her daughter Zhaoyi, in her fortyth year, she gave birth to a second daughter, Dunshun, in forty-three years, she gave birth to her third daughter, Anshu, and in her fourth year, she gave birth to her third daughter, Anshu.
The fourth daughter, Shuyi, was born in seventeen years. Although she doesn’t have an elder brother, she is still pretty good...
At least she is much better than the childless concubines of the late emperor, and she can be relied upon for the rest of her life.
In addition, now that I have become an imperial concubine, I am far away from competing for favors, and I have entered the retirement stage in advance. In the future of my life, as long as I don’t seek death, I can be considered to be worry-free and spend my old age...
"Sister Eighteen will marry to the Horqin tribe next year. I really feel reluctant to let go, but there is nothing I can do!" Qingyi sighed and said apologetically.
Hey, Princess Gu Lun Zhaoyi's marriage to the Mongolian Horqin tribe was personally requested by the Empress Dowager and the emperor issued the imperial edict. Even though she felt ashamed of the cousin in front of her, she had nothing to do...
Princess Dunyi said with a calm smile: "As a royal princess, the emperor is kind and has made Princess Gu Lun the title of princess. It is a supreme honor and favor to be able to marry into the Horqin tribe of Mongolia.
It is her responsibility to contribute to the stability of our Qing royal family."
"The Ai family knows that the princess cares for Meng is a rule left by the ancestors. They don't dare to ask for Zhaoyi and the others to marry in the capital. They only hope that one or two can marry closer and return to the palace to visit often in the future.
It would be nice to just pay a visit to the mother-in-law of the Ai family!"
As a royal princess, she has been pampered since she was a child and has enjoyed all the glory and wealth. When she grows up, it is reasonable for her to devote her life to the country.
Furthermore, although it is a bit far away to marry into the Mongolian tribes, and although Mongolia is a bitter and cold place, the Mongolian princes and relatives treat the Qing princess with great courtesy, which is actually not bad...
"Your Majesty, Princess, please rest assured, I will advise the Emperor." With a stern look on her face, Qingyi said softly, considering her words.
Alas, now that things have happened, this is all she can do to comfort Princess Dunyi. Of course, she also hopes that nothing unexpected will happen by then...
.......
Half an hour later, Princess Dunyi and others left Kunning Palace.
"The Queen, the Queen invites you to come here today. I'm afraid it's not just a conversation..." The old lady beside Princess Dunyi lowered her voice and spoke in a low voice.
The empress and the dowager were originally cousins, but they never imagined that their identities would change so much after so many years.
Poor, my concubine is now only thirty-three years old, at the age of her prime, but she has become the widow of the late emperor, and can only live her old life in Shoukang Palace...
Princess Dunyi smiled, and then said calmly: "The queen invited the Ai family to come here, most likely for the purpose of getting married to the Bahrain tribe. Everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Ning died suddenly and was sentenced to death.
Si Litou, the eight princesses under the emperor's knees have to observe mourning for twenty-seven months, and the prince of Bahrain is not young anymore!"
Hey, maybe everything is fate, it is the fate of her daughters to be born as royal princesses.
The eldest daughter Zhaoyi will marry to the Mongolian Horqin tribe next year. Now her marriage to the Bahrain tribe has suddenly changed. I am afraid that the emperor will order a different princess to marry to the Bahrain tribe...
However, the princesses under the emperor's knees who were not promised to others were still young, so he could only set his sights on the late emperor's princess!
Her second daughter, Dunshun, is now fifteen years old, as young as a nutmeg, and happens to be a suitable candidate.
"The Queen's intention is to let our Princess Dunshun marry to the Mongolian Bahrain tribe? But hasn't the Emperor already issued an imperial edict for the Eighth Princess to marry her? Although Ning Bin died suddenly, Ning Bin was only a concubine.
The Queen is the legitimate mother of the Eighth Princess..." The old nanny felt a thump in her heart, and then said with a stern expression.
She had been in the palace for many years and had never heard of a royal princess observing mourning for the biological mother of a minor concubine for three years.
Princess Dunyi smiled, and then said softly: "The emperor is kind, the seventh princess's biological mother, Concubine Yi, died of illness. Although it happened to coincide with the late emperor's filial piety period, the seventh princess actually guarded the twenty-seventh princess.
Yue Xiao, got married in the middle of this month..."
Being born into an emperor's family may seem noble, but in fact it is the most helpless. Not only do you have to devote your life to the country, but you are not even qualified to pursue happiness.
Now, she doesn't ask for anything, she just wants to keep her second daughter, Dunshun, for another year and a half.
As for marrying to the Bahrain tribe in Mongolia, the second daughter Dunshun has a more aggressive temperament, which is more suitable than the third daughter Anshu, who is now twelve years old...
They are all biological daughters, and she loves them all. The eldest daughter and the second daughter, one is tough and the other is fierce. The third daughter is timid and not suitable for marrying far away. The fourth daughter is only eight years old now. It is not clear yet. What will happen in the future?
What is it like.
Rather than having her timid third daughter marry off to the Mongolian tribe a few years later, she would rather have her aggressive second daughter Dunshun. After all, with Dunshun's temperament, she might be able to live a more free and comfortable life if she marries the Mongolian Bahrain tribe...
.
In Kunning Palace, Qingyi lowered her eyebrows and fell into deep thought. She secretly thought in her heart, is it appropriate for herself and the emperor to do this?
It was obviously the eighth princess Songkri Yilha who had done something wrong, but now it is the late emperor's princess Dunshun, the daughter of Imperial Concubine Dunyi, who has to bear the consequences...
Was her previous proposal right or wrong?
At the beginning, why didn't I suggest that the emperor obey the authority urgently and instead let the eighth princess marry to Bahrain within a hundred days of filial piety?
"Mommy, did I make a mistake? I shouldn't have suggested to the emperor that we choose another princess of the right age or a daughter of the clan to marry to the Bahrain tribe..." Pouting her lips, Qingyi spoke worriedly.
.
Alas, she always felt guilty deep down in her heart, feeling sorry for Princess Dunyi!
After Wusuli pondered for a while, she said in a low voice: "Go back to your Majesty, and obey the authority in urgent matters. Now that the Ning concubine has died suddenly, the Eighth Princess has to observe mourning for twenty-seven months, and the Prince of Bahrain is not young anymore."
..."
"I'd like to say something that I shouldn't say. Princess Dunshun, the daughter of Princess Dunyi, is also good to marry to the Bahrain tribe. At least the person she marries is the king of the Bahrain tribe. In the future, Princess Dunshun will be the princess of Bahrain.
Noble status."
"In comparison, I feel that the eighth princess's temperament, coupled with her resentment towards the emperor and the empress, may cause trouble. She may even lead the Bahrain tribe to attack our Qing Dynasty in the future!"
Thinking about the problem from the perspective of Mother Wusuli, she feels that it is most suitable to change the princess and marry to Bahrain. At least it is much better than the eighth princess Songri Yirha marrying to Bahrain...
Qingyi's face was startled, and then she looked in disbelief.
Is it what the mother said? If the eighth princess Songri Yirha really marries the Bahrain tribe, will she rebel against her mother country?
"What Mammy said is actually true, but deep down in my heart, I always feel sorry for Princess Dunyi. After all, I personally promised Princess Dunyi that I would let the four royal sisters,
Two of them are married to people from the capital." Qingyi sighed deeply and said helplessly.
Hey, now everything depends on what Bahrain wants!
If Bahrain is willing to change a princess, then that would be the best. But if Bahrain is unwilling to change and insists on marrying the eighth princess Songri Yirha, then things will be really difficult...
.
For some things, don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality. If it turns out that the Eighth Princess is resentful towards the mother country and leads troops to attack the mother country, then the gain will outweigh the loss!
To be continued...
