Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1238 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 162

Jiang Xinxin was ultimately unable to return to the palace to live as Qianlong wished, but the Queen and Qianlong immediately copied the list of names selected for the harem and the list of names to be granted marriage to clan members and sent them to the Old Summer Palace.

Jianqiu knew that Jiang Xinxin didn't care about these things, but because of the new concubines entering the palace, the empress dowager always had to express her opinion, so she read it to Jiang Xinxin: "Your Majesty, the concubine who will enter the harem this time is Yehenara, the daughter of Minister Yongshou, and her grandfather is Mingzhu, who served the Holy Ancestor;"

"There is also a noble lady named Huifa Nara, whose ancestral home is outside the Great Wall. Her father works in the capital, but he is only a fifth-rank official. "

"Noble Lady Ying, surnamed Balin, was born in the Mongolian Army Banner. Her father and brother are somewhat related to the Mongolian prince Balin, but they are already five generations apart;"

"Noble Lady Ke, from the Borjigit clan, was born in the Mongolian military banner, and her family is five generations removed from the Mongolian Khorchin prince;"

"Chang Zai Lu was born in the Han Army Banner, his ancestral home is in Jiangnan, and his biological father was only a county magistrate."

"The others include the niece of Rong Junwang's wife Dong E, who was granted marriage to Prince He as his concubine. There are also several daughters of minor officials from the Han army banners, who were granted marriage to Prince Duan and Prince He as princesses."

"The remaining girls who were listed were all married off to members of the royal family."

When Jiang Xinxin heard that a concubine had entered the Prince He's mansion, she asked directly, "What's the matter with the concubine in Hong Zhou's mansion? Was it requested by Concubine Hong Zhou, or was it Concubine Yu's idea?"

Jianqiu had already inquired about this matter, and answered directly: "Your Majesty, the concubine of Prince Heqin's mansion was the intention of Concubine Yu. Although the Queen sent a message saying that Prince Heqin's wife went to the palace to greet her in person, before that, Prince Heqin's wife received a message from Concubine Yu."

This made Jiang Xinxin a little confused. "This Yu Fei usually doesn't seem to be a troublemaker. Why is she so confused about this matter?"

Jian Qiu curled her lips and said disapprovingly: "If you say that Concubine Yu is a broad-minded and intelligent person, I don't believe it at all. When Concubine Yu lived with Prince He in Yuanmingyuan, she was indeed very capable because she had never entertained anyone. After returning to the palace, she seemed to be very self-aware. This alone made her better than anyone else in the palace."

"But the most frightening thing is that you will come into contact with it more and understand it more."

"I'm afraid Concubine Yu has forgotten that the backyard of Prince He's mansion is empty because Prince He himself is born with a weak body and has difficulty in having children."

"Or maybe, she simply can't bear to see Prince He's wife living a comfortable life with a husband who is in harmony with her. Moreover, Prince He's wife's husband is Concubine Yu's biological son."

After returning to the palace, Concubine Yu has always kept a secluded life. Moreover, after Jiang Xinxin replaced Yixiu, she became impatient with the concubines paying respects to her every day, so Concubine Yu's background has never been exposed.

Now that Jianqiu said this suddenly, it meant that Concubine Yu had already revealed her true colors. However, this had little to do with Jiang Xinxin. After all, even if she was Prince He's biological mother, she was only his biological mother. To be honest, her relationship with Prince He was not as close as with Prince Duan.

But some ugly things had to be said first, Jiang Xinxin said to Jianqiu: "In the future, we should not interfere in the family affairs of Prince He's mansion. The Queen is the head of the ladies inside and outside the palace, and she is not only the sister-in-law of Prince He's wife, but also the sister-in-law. If there are any conflicts between Prince He and his wife, just let the Queen deal with it."

Jianqiu nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty is right, it should be so."

The concubines in Changchun Garden also received the news that the Prince of Heqin's palace had a concubine. When Concubine Ning, Concubine Rou, Concubine Fu, and Zhen Huan gathered together to chat in their spare time, Concubine Rou, whose child was already grown up, could not help but sighed, "My Eighth Prince will have a concubine in a few years. Time flies."

Concubine Ning laughed and teased Concubine Rou, saying, "Lingrong, you look very old-fashioned when you emphasize this. You are still young, so how can you live like an old person?"

Noble Lady Fu casually exposed Concubine Rou's poor moaning: "Sister Rou is worried that she can't be a good mother-in-law."

He quickly told the information he had found out: "We used to think that Concubine Yu was a good person, but after getting to know her more, we found that she was really hard to describe. Now I heard that the concubine who was granted marriage to Prince He this year was forced by Concubine Yu to negotiate with the Empress Dowager."

Zhen Huan's mind buzzed when she heard this, and she asked, "Could it be that Concubine Yu didn't inform the Empress Dowager and forced Prince Heqin's wife to go to the Empress?"

Concubine Ning looked up at the sky in silence, and after a while she sighed, "In the past, Concubine Yu took Prince He to the Old Summer Palace. Even when we went there for summer vacation, we didn't have much contact with her. We all thought that Concubine Yu was a very smart person who was very secretive. But after a few contacts, we realized that Concubine Yu was someone we could only admire from afar."

Concubine Rou spoke for Concubine Yu to some extent, "I had contact with Concubine Yu several times before, and when I heard her talk about Prince He's wife, I really felt that Concubine Yu had nothing to say about Prince He's wife."

Lady Fu disagreed and said, "As the saying goes, times have changed. Besides, the late emperor was still alive at that time. Concubine Yu must have been in awe of him, so she didn't dare to show up."

To put it bluntly, Noble Lady Fu recognized the deterrent power of the late emperor, especially his indifference and indifference to the women and offspring in the harem during his early years. She believed that Concubine Yu must have experienced that firsthand, so she hid in the Rehe Palace and dared not return home. Later, she hid in the Old Summer Palace. Even if the prince should have chosen a few good teachers and made progress seriously at that time, she did not dare to mention it at all.

However, after the death of the previous emperor, all the concubines in the harem became imperial concubines. Their immediate superior, the empress dowager, was a kind and considerate person, so they were able to come to Changchun Garden and enjoy spacious accommodation as well as daily entertainment to pass the time.

So after living a good life for too long, Concubine Yu forgot how she had been cautious and careful to protect herself in her early years.

There was a disturbance in Changchun Garden because Concubine Yu had stuffed people into her son's backyard, but everyone just talked about it. Several new people entered Qianlong's harem, including one who was directly promoted to the position of concubine. This made the Queen unable to help but look at Concubine Shu sideways.

You know, most of the concubines in the harem have the opportunity to become queens, especially the noble ladies from the Manchu families. They know that as long as the queen steps down, they will have the possibility of taking the throne.

This Shupin was of a noble birth. As a descendant of Nalan Mingzhu, she had both Yehenara blood and Aisin-Gioro blood in her body. Her birth was no lower than that of the empress, and she might even be slightly better.

However, the queen was very stable. After all, she already had the eldest son and daughter, and was trusted by Emperor Qianlong. No matter how aggressive the concubines in the harem were, her position as the queen was as stable as a rock, and only Emperor Qianlong himself could shake her.
