Return to the Qing Dynasty (2)

Looking at the mirror, looking at the face of not young in the mirror, she reached out and touched it gently. I guess the Fourth Master was the same as herself. She still felt a little regretful. She came back too late. How many years could she have given the Fourth Master? For some reason, she suddenly thought of the evaluation of the Fourth Master of historians in later generations and said: "Kangxi was generous and Qianlong was unlucky. If it weren't for Yongzheng's reorganization, the Qing Dynasty would have been declining long ago. Some people said that he was so arrogant that he was so sinister. Not to mention whether this was the case, but during his thirteen years of reign, he was very hard at night and diligent.

Common politics is indeed a fact. It has made certain political contributions, but the period is too short and it is suddenly extinguished, leaving behind unfinished tasks; even if it has been implemented, there are those who have caused malpractice due to the 'death of the people', which is a consequence of the 'death of the people', and there are also some who have caused malpractice. As the will says in the will, 'there is no shortage of regrets'. If he had lived a life of his father Kangxi and lived an extra 11 years, the political situation would be different; if he had lived a long life like his son Qianlong, he would have lived a further thirty-one more years, and the political changes were no problem - in exaggeration, it might have changed the fate of China in the future, which would be determined."

This is an evaluation from later generations. At that time, she read it to the Fourth Master, who had not spoken for a long time.

At the age of forty-five, thirty-one years later, it will be seventy-six.

Seventy-six years old is considered a long life now, but in modern times where medicine is advanced, there are many people aged seventy-six.

And with my own ability, I am only seventy-six years old, I can!

She turned her face right, and she had to fight for at least thirty years no matter what.

Seeing that the master empress did not speak in the mirror for a long time, Bitao thought something was wrong, so she quickly asked in a low voice: "...why would you add another hairpin?"

"No!" She touched her face again. Although she didn't rely on her face to make a living, she still had to dress up what she should dress up. After these few days, she will deal with everything around her.

Zizhu hurried in and blessed her body, "Empress, the empresses of each palace are waiting in Changchun Palace."

Just wait.

"Let's go to Cining Palace." Before the Fourth Master came to the court, she had to meet with the Queen Mother first.

Zi Zhu's mouth moved, and she didn't dare to persuade her. She was so anxious that her master was so old that although she was the queen, she had no son. It would be fine if she walked before the Emperor Wansui. What would happen if she walked behind Emperor Wansui? Don't forget that there was the Ulanara family outside the palace that was dependent on the Emperor.

Lin Yutong didn't sit in a sedan chair, but just took people over. She looked at this familiar and unfamiliar place along the way, and felt a little complicated.

"Empress..." Zi Zhu chased after two steps, "You are not safe in your body, so you might as well sit in a sedan chair." How much delay does it take? The empresses are still waiting there. Especially the Ninth Concubine Nian in Xukun Palace, who had just given birth to a child. If she had a bad time in Changchun Palace, I am afraid that the empress would have to be scolded.

Lin Yutong didn't look at Zizhu, but just asked lightly, "Your brother is now in Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion."

Lin Yutong is actually a little confused now, because many things seem to have changed. For example, Fei Yanggu, the mother's Ulanara family, was dead. Not long ago, he was posthumously named the first-class Chenggong by the Fourth Master, but his wife Jueluo was named Doro Princess. This is "delegated" and not posthumously. This is very interesting. Giving Doro Princess is equivalent to a royal family admitting your identity. But what is strange about Lin Yutong, this person in his previous life has long been gone. Since this person is alive and still the queen's biological mother, can he ignore the affairs of his parents' family?

Now the five lines raised by Jueluo's knees have inherited the title and been demoted to Chengen Marquis. In fact, the five lines are the four sons of the family. The eldest son Xinghui and the second son Fuchang are both illegitimate, and the third son Fucun, the original wife of Fei Yanggu. Logically speaking, this title should be inherited by the legitimate son of the legitimate wife, but Huaike's prince Xingde is Fucun's youngest son. If Huaike lives well, then the third family will not be able to escape. Now that the Fourth Master ascended the throne, his daughter who married into your family died early, can't he feel a little angry? So the title fell on the fifth line.

Among these brothers, none of them are the same mother as Lin Yutong. Of course, when they arrive at this position, the ones who are close to each other are only profits. The close servants around them have relatives placed in their parents' homes and can only be assured when using them. This was not wrong, but when they came, they could not keep such a girl around them.

Zi Zhu was confused by this question. If my brother hadn't been in Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion, he wouldn't have been chosen by his master. Thinking of this, he quickly responded to "yes".

Lin Yutong didn't say anything anymore and walked forward without any hurry.

This is because Zi Zhu can't touch her temper. The master wanted to ask him to pass the message or something else, but for a moment he was a little confused.

Compared to the current Changchun Palace, this Cining Palace is very quiet.

In this place where you hold high and low in the palace, Jing represents the status. Although this is the empress dowager now, it is not within the scope of everyone's flattery. Why? Everyone knows that the empress dowager is not close to Emperor Wansui, and the close Fourteenth Master was disliked by Emperor Wansui at this time. What does this mean? It means that Emperor Wansui doesn't have this empress dowager at all. Otherwise, he would never be able to deal with the 14th Master like this at this time.

Therefore, when fewer people come, it becomes quiet.

When Lin Yutong arrived, Madam Ping was already waiting at the palace gate. When she saw Lin Yutong coming from afar, she squatted down halfway and saluted. Yesterday, she heard that this person was taken by Master Wansui, but she didn't expect to come here early in the morning. Although she didn't ask in advance, she had already flown into her ears after walking for so long.

"Grandma is auspicious." Her attitude was very humble and she didn't dare to raise her head.

Lin Yutong went over and helped the person up with his own hands, "The nanny is old and has worked hard and made great contributions to serving her mother..." As she said that, she glanced at Zizhu and said the word "reward".

This gave the Queen Mother a great face.

Many people began to think that Master Wansui took over the master and Empress, and this person came to Cining Palace today. This is a bit difficult to explain whether Master Wansui means or Master Wang means. I am afraid that Master Wansui will ask Master Wang to come over to ease the relationship.

It's good to have this buffer!

The smile on Madam Ping's face could not be stopped. One of the mother and son was willing to bow their heads, which was a good thing. She quickly stood up and helped Lin Yutong. Seeing that the other party did not refuse, she felt confident.

This is a good thing.

Lin Yutong walked inside with the help of Madam Ping, and asked while walking, "My mother has rested these days? When will she sleep? When will she get up? How many times can she get up at night?" She asked again, "How are you eating? Is it fragrant? Have you eaten the health prescriptions prescribed by the imperial physician on time?"

One sentence is tight and one question is very detailed.

Madam Ping answered one by one, "...It's good to have a rest. She can always sleep for about four hours a day. She doesn't dare to shout and sleep during the day, because she's afraid she's sleepy. She eats less food. The two rose cakes I used last night were just rose tea, which seems to be quite useful."

I ate rose cake and drank rose tea.

This is very interesting. Whether you really eat and use these is not important at all. What is important is what Madam Ping wants to convey. Rose has the function of regulating qi and relieving depression. Madam Ping wants to say that the Queen Mother is angry and feels depressed.

Lin Yutong patted Madam Ping's hand and said she knew.

After entering the hall, the Empress Dowager sat upright.

Lin Yutong looked at the Queen Mother, her eyes slightly moist. The two of them actually got along well in that life. After decades of love, it was impossible for them to have no feelings at all.

"My mother!" she shouted, and slowly knelt down and kowtowed.

This is a great gift! There are not many opportunities to give such a great gift to the mother of the empress.

Kneeling at the sky, kneeling on the ground, kneeling on the ancestors, even when facing the emperor, the queen asked her to kneel many times.

When she knelt down, the whole hall was stunned, and then she knelt down.

The Queen Mother was stunned at first, and then she felt sour and soft. Did the "Umma" call out the true love? She spent most of her life in the palace, and she could see it.

The queen... shouted with deep affection and sincere heart.

"Get up." The Queen Mother waved her hand, "You are so honest, why are you doing such a big gift?"

As he said that, he signaled Madam Ping to help him up.

Lin Yutong got up with Madam Ping's hand and went over to sit next to the empress dowager very naturally. "My mother saw that she had reduced a lot."

"Some minor symptoms." The Queen Mother's eyelids drooped, "It's not a problem."

How could this be a minor syndrome?

This is because I can't eat or sleep, I'm almost dry.

Lin Yutong waved her hand and told everyone who served her to retreat.

Everyone who followed Lin Yutong went down. Madam Ping glanced at the Queen Mother, and saw that she looked up and nodded slightly, then she took everyone down.

Lin Yutong reached out to hold the empress dowager's hand. It was already, and the empress dowager's hands were still cold. She suddenly felt uncomfortable, "Mom! Long lively Master knows it."

The empress dowager's hand shook and tears suddenly came down, "It's not the emperor's fault, it's the Fourteenth Old."

She never expected that Emperor Daxing would give the throne to the fourth brother. At first, she was frightened and couldn't sleep all night. Emperor Daxing was gone, and anyone could forget his kindness, but he couldn't do it. No matter what, he gave the throne to the son he had born. Before he could come back to his senses, the fourth brother, who was far away in the northwest, came back to attend the funeral. He shouldn't have a quarrel with his fourth brother in front of Emperor Daxing's mourning hall. The fourth brother had just ascended the throne and was unstable. When it was the most important time to establish his authority, the fourth brother came from where the evil fire came from. In front of the imperial court, the civil and military ministers of the imperial court, he collided with the fourth brother in front of the mourning hall of the late emperor, and refused to kneel down to the fourth brother.

She was not here at that time, but even if she was not there, could her son still not know?

The fourth brother was afraid that he really had the intention to kill, so he wanted to kill one to warn him.

Lao Si's thief was so worried that he was so busy that he was probably afraid.

The most hateful one is Lao Ba. Lao Ba came out at this time and said that Lao Foo was the king, and it was the right thing for Lao Fourteen to kneel down and worship.

Lao Si Si knelt down at that time.

This debt collector was born by himself, and he knew the temper very well. He was already afraid at that time, for the fourth brother to establish his authority regardless of his compatriots. But why didn't he think about it? What would the fourth brother think at that time? You think you have surrendered, and the fourth brother still thinks you only listen to the eighth brother.

Oh! My brother, the emperor, told you to kneel down and you didn’t kneel down. He was very stubborn. Here, Lao Bayi asked you to kneel down, and you knelt down quickly. In front of so many people, what do you want to explain? In your heart, is I the emperor or Lao Ba the emperor?

The nature will be different immediately.

But Lao Si may not have thought of this at that time. He was angry at Xinjun. If it weren't for his biological brother above, he wouldn't dare to make such a fuss. Lao Si asked him to kneel down and he would definitely regret it. Lao Ba said he should kneel down, but he felt that Lao Ba said this and should have given him a ladder, asking him to go down the donkey and expose the matter. So he knelt down at that time.

I've been kneeling down, and you're still reluctant to let go after you're over. Now you're rushing into the horns and putting it back and forth in your heart, but I'm afraid you haven't figured it out yet.

What about the fourth brother? I was afraid that I could understand a little, but the face of this new man is so good?

What can I do if I am a mother-in-law? Let me plead for the Eleventh. What will the Eleventh think? The mother-son relationship, which is not very intimate, is afraid that it will become more distant. I feel that I am more intimate. But I don’t plead for it. Is it really a matter of asking for the Eleventh?

The palms and backs of hands are full of flesh! What can she do?

She was thinking about how she could cool down the relationship between the brother and water and fire. But after thinking about it for a few days, she thought about it all inside and outside, but she didn't expect a word to come.

What is the reason to ask Lao Si to spare Lao Si?

Isn't this mother's last words and deeds good?

I really want to die.

Now that the daughter-in-law came, she only said "I know what I know" and her heart suddenly felt relieved.

She grabbed Lin Yutong's hand with her backhand and held it tightly, "You go back and tell the fourth brother that my mother knows his difficulties. It's okay to beat and punish the fourth brother. It was originally what he deserved."

If you beat and punish, you will establish your authority, so let's call this matter over.

Lin Yutong sighed in her heart. She knew what the Empress Dowager would say before she came. She was a smart person, "Yes! I'll tell you what you said to Master Long live."

The Empress Dowager also had a smile on her face, and then she said something else, "...I have heard about the matter in the Yikun Palace..." It was about the death of the child born by Nian.

Lin Yutong was listening carefully, wanting to hear what the Empress Dowager was about Nian. However, she didn't expect that the Empress Dowager would change her voice, "One person has one life. When Concubine Yi lived there, the child was born safely..."

Just as Nian was talking about how he said that he would talk about Concubine Yi.

Lin Yutong's mind flashed and she said to herself, "I Cao" in her heart. This was the fault of the original body before she came.

Think about it, now that the Queen Mother has moved to the Cining Palace, what about the concubines of the late emperors except the Queen Mother? Have they all moved to the palace? It’s nothing else, like Concubine Yi, who has been competing with Concubine De for the rest of her life. When her son takes office, she will immediately have to make a place for her concubines. Concubine Yi feels comfortable, but she is afraid that this tone will be kept in her heart and scold the Fourth Master to death. The previous dynasty was full of porridge, and the queen was cooking in the harem. The queen just didn’t want to be the most favored emperor, so she felt wronged Concubine Yi.

Concubine Yi was wronged, what would Lao Wu and Lao Jiu think? What? The brothers are still alive. You can't tolerate my mother as soon as the Emperor Ama died. She bullied her and even had to make a living place for your concubine. Who are you slapped in the face? Do you have these brothers in your heart?

Now the Queen Mother is tactfully reminding herself that she is not doing well. She cannot just focus on the harem, the three-point land, as the matter here is inseparable from the previous dynasty.

Lin Yutong made a vague statement, but she did not defend herself.

But after leaving Cining Palace, he quickly asked someone to invite the fifth and ninth concubines into the palace.

After the beaten man left, she thought about it and still couldn't do it, so she simply beat people and invited all the concubines of these brothers to come in first, so that it would not seem abrupt.

After understanding all these things, I stood up and returned to Changchun Palace.

In the Changchun Palace, there was no Li family, Nian family and Niuhulu family. They only regarded Geng and Song family as well, waiting for Lin Yutong to come back to pay their respects.
To be continued...
