Chapter 1129 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 55
Concubine Qi regretted it, she really regretted it. She didn't expect things to turn out like this. She thought she could handle everything with her favor and the face of the Seventh Prince!
"This palace wants to see the emperor, this palace wants to see the emperor!"
Concubine Qi rushed out directly, but the guards in charge of guarding were not pushovers either, even if one of them was from the Guwalja clan.
In fact, if the people around Concubine Qi could stand up and use the Seventh Prince as a shield, these guards could turn a blind eye and simply let Concubine Qi escape. But the bad thing is that there are no smart people around Concubine Qi, and now they just know how to follow Concubine Qi and rush out.
Big Fat Orange was already dissatisfied with the negligence in the harem. Previously, he had only cleaned up the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Later, when Nian Gengyao planned to rebel, even the guards in the palace were cleaned out. What's more, the incident between Concubine Shu and Prince Guo's mother and son had just happened not long ago, so no one dared to commit a crime at this time.
What's more, Concubine Qi and her gang couldn't even come up with a decent excuse.
However, even if Concubine Qi had the opportunity to get close to the Yangxin Palace, Big Fat Ju probably wouldn't have time to take care of her, because Junggar suddenly sent an envoy to discuss marriage, and specifically asked for the legitimate princess.
Big Fat Ju was very dissatisfied with the arrogant attitude of the Dzungar Khanate and decided to fight immediately. But now that he had lost his most capable fighter, Nian Gengyao, Big Fat Ju could only send out Prince Heng and Prince Chun together, along with several young generals he had newly trained. Fu Cha also sent out a number of his young men this time.
The seventh prince born to Concubine Qi in the palace was soon sent to the late emperor and his concubine in the Cining Palace as Da Pangju wished. The late emperor and his concubine were promoted to Emperor Father and Concubine. She personally sent a message to the Guwaljia clan, asking them to participate in the battle against Junggar, and it would be best if the young people could establish certain merits.
After all, the newly appointed Concubine He was a person who had been in the harem of the previous emperor. In particular, she entered the palace later than Concubine Shu in the late years of the previous emperor. As soon as she entered the palace, she faced the situation of Concubine Shu's favor. Even under such circumstances, she was able to be appointed as a concubine without having a child, and was a real mistress of the palace. Although she took some of the advantages of the surname Guarjia, her appearance, talent and character were indeed excellent.
Therefore, the Concubine He knew best what Big Fat Orange wanted now, so she simply advised the young men of the clan to take the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
He and the Toffee secretly cursed Fatty Orange for being a disobedient person.
In the past, when the Nian family was powerful, he favored Concubine Nian while cutting off her offspring; later, when Concubine Shun and Concubine Qi both had princes, he ruined their relationship and relationship, and made them oppose each other; now that the empress has personally punished those sons of her mother's family who committed crimes, he hopes that other concubines from the big Manchu families will take action against their mother's family like the empress did, and weaken the power of the family.
The news of the previous dynasty's marriage to Junggar had not yet reached the harem, but the fact that Concubine Qi was under house arrest and the Seventh Prince was sent to the Cining Palace and raised by the Concubine Dowager did cause turmoil in the harem. Queen Jiang Xinxin had to give a reasonable explanation to calm everyone's anxiety.
So when paying respects, Jiang Xinxin said directly: "The reason why Concubine Qi is under house arrest is because Concubine Qi's biological father, Lord Emin, is a rebellious person. He intends to become the second Nian Gengyao. He even pretends to be the prince's relative on many occasions, and is suspected of forming a clique for personal gain. The emperor's repeated warnings are still useless, and Concubine Qi herself is spoiled by his favor and has caused many troubles in the harem."
"The late Emperor and Concubine He were also from the Guarjia clan. The fact that the Seventh Prince was raised by Concubine He shows that the Emperor still has a fondness for the Guarjia clan."
"Today, I have informed you of everything in detail, hoping that you can take it as a warning and not forget your duties as a concubine."
Concubine Qi and Concubine Jing quickly led the other concubines to stand up and salute to express their loyalty: "We, your servants, will obey the Empress's order."
Concubine Qi had originally thought of taking action against the Sixth and Seventh Princes, but now, Fatty Ju personally took action to stop the biological mothers and maternal relatives of the two princes from jumping up. She was grinning from ear to ear on the way back, and later she even went to the prince's residence in person to see the Third Prince and told him everything that had happened in the past few days.
If the Third Prince was smarter, he would have known to act like a filial son and study hard early on. Unfortunately, the Third Prince learned from Concubine Qi that he was ambitious, but the reality was cruel. Even though he was the only prince in the palace and Da Pangju gave him all the famous teachers, his performance did not satisfy Da Pangju.
For example, at this moment, after listening to Concubine Qi's narration, the Third Prince actually smiled proudly, "Don't worry, mother. After all, my son is older and is actually the eldest son. The Emperor's father can never surpass my son!"
Concubine Qi agreed with him, patted the back of the Third Prince's hand, nodded and said, "That's right, you are the Emperor's eldest son, you should share the Emperor's worries."
The mother and son became happier and happier as they talked, as if the throne would fall into their hands tomorrow, and the people around them were too lazy to stop them.
As for Big Fat Orange, although the plan to attack Dzungar had been decided and pre-war preparations were proceeding in an orderly manner, the former dynasty and the harem still acted as if they were forced to consider marriage in order to paralyze the Dzungar envoys. Therefore, Concubine Jing and Concubine Xin, who had daughters, hurriedly brought valuable gifts to ask for an audience with Jiang Xinxin, and Concubine Chen, the mother of the late emperor's youngest daughter, Princess Chaogui, also went to the Imperial Concubine Dowager for help.
Looking at the anxious Jingpin and Xin Guiren, Jiang Xinxin sighed secretly, "It's true that both of you have princesses, but the princesses are still young. Even if they really want to marry, it won't be their sisters' turn. Why are you in such a hurry to ask for an audience?"
Jingpin smiled apologetically: "I am just making a fuss out of nothing. There are rumors everywhere in the harem, and I have never seen the world, so I am still a little uneasy..."
Concubine Xin also said: "I was just thinking that Princess Shuhe has grown up. I heard that the Junggar envoy is coming again with great force. What if..."
Jiang Xinxin would not make trouble at this time and try to control anyone. She said bluntly: "The previous emperor wanted to marry Princess Lanqi to the Junggar, but unfortunately the Junggar broke their promise and did not consider Princess Lanqi's face and make peace with the Qing Dynasty. Some things can only be said in the harem and must not be spread. I can forgive you for your motherly love, but if you ruin the emperor's arrangement in the previous dynasty, I am afraid that all nine clans will pay the price."
Jingpin and Xin Guiren were not fools. After hearing what Jiang Xinxin said, they knew that Da Pangju actually had no intention of marrying into the imperial court. They thanked Jiang Xinxin again and again. Jiang Xinxin also accepted the valuable gifts they brought and kept a note of them for the time being, planning to include them in the dowry when the two princesses got married.
The Imperial Concubine Dowager also handed in a sign requesting a meeting. Jiang Xinxin went to Ningshou Palace in person to explain the situation. The Imperial Concubine Dowager worked closely with Concubine Chen, and Princess Chaogui's upbringing problem was indeed solved during this opportunity. Several princesses are now attending classes in Ningshou Palace.
When the Junggar envoy saw this situation, he thought that the Qing Dynasty was currently unable to go to war and insisted on marrying a legitimate princess immediately. Jiang Xinxin directly sent Jianqiu to convey the message to the emperor, saying that the climate in the north was too cold in winter to travel, and that the princess was too frail to travel long distances, so he suggested waiting until the spring when the flowers bloomed next year.
Of course, Big Fat Orange followed Jiang Xinxin's suggestion. Although the Junggar envoy thought that this was a conspiracy to delay time, when he heard that Princess Chaogui in the harem was trying her best to study as if she had lost her parents, he felt relieved.
