Wei Yanwan returns to Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, Ruyi please stand aside

Chapter 254 Su Lujun

"Lujun, you are the only one in this palace who is willing to come and see me. My Imperial Concubine."

This is what the emperor always said to me before he passed away, not for any other reason, but simply because I was willing to serve the emperor.

The emperor was already seventy years old at that time, and I was an old woman in my sixties.

I'm not really willing to serve the emperor like this, I just do it for the sake of my children.

Although I was not very favored when I was young, I became a favorite of the emperor when I grew older.

It was true that there was no one around the emperor.

The emperor's third empress died in the fifth year after the emperor became the supreme emperor.

This is the emperor's third empress. After beating her, I was always worried. I think the emperor is somewhat unlucky with his wives.

This is not the first time I have had this thought.

Since the third empress ascended the throne, the emperor has not held any more beauty contests, and the only people serving him were those familiar people.

Ke Changzai was a concubine of Yan Wan not long after she became the empress. On a dark and windy night, she encountered an unclean creature in the imperial garden and was so frightened that she could not get out of bed.

He kept muttering:

"Don't come to me, don't come to me."

I really don't know who wants to see her or what they want to see her for. Anyway, when Jinzhong sent her over to Yanwan, she only shouted that one sentence.

There were rumors in the palace that she always liked to bully the young palace maids and eunuchs, and from time to time she would act like a Mongolian noble lady, and she would beat to death anyone who served her in the slightest way if she was not satisfied.

Indeed, there were fewer and fewer palace maids around her.

I actually didn't want to know what Ke Changzai had done to those people, but when the gate of Xianfu Palace opened, I was still scared.

Ke Changzai actually kept an unknown evil creature in Xianfu Palace, which often made her crazy and angry and wanted to hit people.

Originally, everyone thought this was scary enough, but when they saw clearly that the monster being worshipped had Concubine Ying's name and birthday written on it, there was an uproar in the palace.

After investigation, it was found that after Concubine Ying defeated Ulanara and fell from power, she seemed to have suddenly come to her senses. She went to Wei Yanwan's palace every day to behave herself and serve her diligently.

Concubine Ying not only tried to please Wei Yanwan, but also the Queen Mother, accompanying her in worshipping Buddha and copying Buddhist scriptures. This went on day after day, year after year, and the relationship between them was no longer as tense as it was in the past.

Concubine Ying has seen through the affairs of the harem, but Concubine Ke is unwilling to accept this. She thinks that Concubine Ying has betrayed their alliance and lost the pride of the Mongols.

So she supported the evil spirit in the hope that Concubine Ying would be bewitched by him and cause trouble in front of the Queen Mother and Wei Yanwan. However, she didn't expect that the people Concubine Ke found were not powerful enough, so Concubine Ying was safe and sound, but she suffered the backlash.

On the night when she decided to use her killing move against Concubine Ying, Ke Chang heard that the wronged spirits were seeking revenge, and she scared herself mad in the Imperial Garden.

Ke Chang was crazy, but the emperor didn't care much. He just had her locked up, just like Yupin before. Whenever someone from their mother's family asked about it, they would just say she was fine. When they all died of old age, it would be considered a settlement for their grievances.

Even though Ke Chang didn't harm Concubine Ying, it doesn't mean he didn't harm her.

Before the incident, Ke Chang kept shouting how powerful the Mongols were and that without the Mongolian tribes the emperor would not be able to maintain his throne.

The emperor was ill at the time, but his spirit was still there. Concubine Ying was frightened by the emperor and asked to be confined to the palace, never to leave the palace, just to pray for the six palaces and for the friendship between the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia.

Concubine Ying saved herself by doing this, and also made the emperor tolerate Mongolia for a while longer.

After Concubine Ying asked to be confined to her room, the Queen asked Jingyun to visit her several times.

"Her sins are unforgivable, but her merit in giving birth to Jingyun is also indelible. It is Jingyun's choice to look at her or not."

This is what the Queen said when the concubines questioned why Jingyun should not visit Concubine Ke so often.

I don't care about other things in my life, but I care about my children. I think what the queen said is very right. If one day my children are not filial to me, I am afraid I will be heartbroken.

Fortunately, my Yongzhang, Yongrong, and Jingyan are all very filial.

In the words of the Queen Mother.

"The Imperial Concubine is the person with the best fate in the palace."

Now I think back on what the Queen Mother said and I find it very helpful.

I am indeed lucky. I was just a child from an ordinary family. Entering the royal palace, the palace, giving birth to sons one after another, and raising Yonghuang are all good fortunes in my life.

I love my children, not only because they have brought me a lifetime of attention, but also because they are the people who love me the most in the world, besides my parents.

Although my Yongzhang is mediocre, he is good at medical skills.

After the emperor fell ill, Yong Zhang's talent for medicine was revealed, and he followed Bao Taiyi every day to learn how to take care of the emperor. The queen also allowed Bao Taiyi to teach him medical skills in detail.

Now he opened a small clinic outside the palace. Even his wife was a good girl. She never despised Yong Zhang for his mediocrity and incompetence, and was even willing to work with Yong Zhang in the clinic.

Perhaps it was fate, I only found out later that my eldest daughter-in-law was also a person who loved to study medicine. The little trick she originally learned to relieve boredom in her boudoir actually inspired Yong Zhang to seek medical treatment.

I was very happy that both of them had made progress in their studies, and what made me even happier was that they always sent their little grandchildren to the palace, and the long nights passed with me taking care of these children.

My Yongrong became the master of Yongzhang and other children of this generation.

Yongrong was very fond of studying calligraphy and painting, and he read countless books of sages. Finally, he earned the title of "old teacher" among his brothers, because the emperor had long agreed that Yongrong would teach their next generation of children to read and write.

If I have to say regrets, there are some.

Yongrong was literate and even, at the empress's suggestion, compiled the poems the emperor wrote for Empress Xiaoxian and made them into a book.

This was originally a good thing, but some people in the palace were unhappy.

This person is not someone else, it’s Concubine Han.

I don’t know whether I should admire Han Fei or say she is stubborn.

After Yongrong's book was completed, the emperor loved it so much that he ordered a copy to be distributed to each palace, with the intention of learning from Empress Xiaoxian and commemorating her.

This is just a saying. Whether you study it or not, whether you cherish the memory or not, these are all things said behind closed doors.

However, Concubine Han went straight to the emperor and made a scene.

Saying that the emperor is hypocritical.

"When Empress Xiaoxian was alive, the emperor didn't cherish her. When Ulanara was alive, the emperor didn't care much about her. Now that she's dead, the emperor has begun to miss her."

The emperor was already angry enough after she said all this, and she finally pointed at Queen Wei Yanwan and said:

"Your Majesty loved Wei Yanwan so much, but he didn't know that she had died. How could His Majesty mourn her?"

Concubine Han completely angered the emperor, and after angering him, she even left in a very cool manner.

I saw that look with my own eyes, and she really looked like the Ulanara clan she always followed.

The emperor was just angry at the time and nothing happened. It was the revenge that came later that was unexpected.

When Concubine Han thought she was the only one in the palace who was sober and dared to speak up for justice, the emperor threw a letter to her.

The letter was not written by anyone else, but by her mother.

In the letter, her mother complained that her father the Khan had suddenly gone mad and fallen in love with a Manchu woman, and had not set foot in her mother's bedroom for more than a year.

What Han Fei was proud of was her love story with Han Qi and the love story between his father Khan and his mother Concubine.

Han Qi was buried under the snow-capped mountains long ago.

At first, Concubine Han found it difficult to accept that her father, the Khan, would betray her mother. When she saw in the letter that the woman was a Manchu sent by the emperor, she rushed to the Yangxin Palace and questioned the emperor.

"Why, why did you send a woman to my father Khan?"

The emperor was in better health by then, and although he still had difficulty moving, he spoke very naturally and fluently.

"Am I the first person to send a woman to your father Khan?"

Han Fei shook her head.

"But the last one?"

Han Fei shook her head uncertainly.

The emperor looked at her coldly.

"Then how can you be so confident to question me? I just sent a woman who looks very similar to your mother when she was young to your father.

You respect your mother so much, so you should just treat this person as your mother. Why not?"

"You said that I shouldn't always miss others. Then I will give your father a chance to let him understand while your mother is still alive why there are always people missing those they have lost."

The emperor's aggressive words made Concubine Han tremble all over.

She retorted speechlessly.

After a long silence, Concubine Han knelt before the emperor. She rarely knelt before the emperor.

She kowtowed to the emperor.

"I beg the Emperor to recall that woman. If she stays in Han tribe, my mother will have no chance of survival. My father Khan's heart should belong to my mother alone."

The emperor's tolerance of Concubine Han over the years came to an end the moment she spoke words that hurt Empress Xiaoxian.

The emperor said to Concubine Han with disgust:

"I just sent a woman to your father, the Khan. Your mother is the princess of the Han tribe, and you can't stand it. When you harbor hatred for Han Qi in your heart and disgust me over and over again, have you ever thought about how I feel?

When you and the Ulanara family insulted me over and over again, did you ever think about me?"

"I just treat you the way you treat me, and you can't stand it."

"I'm telling you, there is no one in the world who is not unfaithful, no matter if they are men or women, they just haven't met someone who can make their heart beat."

"It's your Han Qi. If he were still alive, I would send him someone who looks and has a similar personality to you. He would like him just as much. If he has a more gentle personality than you, he would be so happy that he would die."

From then on, Concubine Han cried all day and refused to eat.

Concubine Han knew in her heart that what the emperor said was true. She had a stubborn personality. Would her life really be smooth sailing after marrying Han Qi?

It’s not like Han Qi had never had conflicts with her because of her personality.

After just a few days, Concubine Han died.

At this time, the emperor let out a sigh of relief and frightened the Han tribe, but my Yongrong felt sorry for him. He sorted out the emperor's poetry book with good intentions and didn't want to cause trouble for Concubine Han.

As a result, Yongrong was so frightened that he is now over 40 years old and still has no wife or concubines, let alone children.

I kept telling him about it, and even the emperor was getting very anxious, but it was all in vain.

Fortunately, my Jingyan is very competitive.

She gave me three lovely grandchildren. Her husband also treated her very well. Because of Yongzhang and Yongrong, the emperor also allowed Jingyan to accompany me often.

So that I won’t be lonely for the rest of my life.

Even later, when the emperor no longer needed a woman by his side, she allowed me to leave the palace and move to Yongrong Mansion to retire.

After leaving the palace, my life became even more different.

I fell in love with growing flowers, and Yongrong always found all kinds of fresh flowers for me to plant in the mansion.

I like it, but that was taught to me by an old friend many years ago, before I entered the palace.

When I had killed the nth pot of flowers that Yongrong had found for me, I realized that I had forgotten how to grow a pot of flowers.

It was not until that day when Yongrong said that Empress Xiaoxian's younger brother, Fucha Fuheng, came to the house to take Yongrong's paintings that I remembered that it was he who taught me how to grow flowers.

I guess no one in the palace knows this secret, and perhaps no one else knows it except the two of us.

I was born in Jiangnan when I was young. When the palace was selecting girls for the emperor, my father sent me to Beijing to wait for being selected. At that time, my father and I rented a mansion not far from the Fucha Mansion.

I grew some flowers when I had nothing to do, but they always died.

Instead, the wisteria flowers on the wall next door climbed over. I was a naughty kid at that time, so I stood on the branches and picked the flowers.

"Where did this flower thief come from?"

I heard his voice and was so scared that I hid in the wisteria flowers without being discovered.

I never dared to steal flowers again. I couldn't bear to think about how embarrassing it would be to let such a handsome boy know that I was a flower thief.

I thought the matter was over, but the next day, someone from next door threw a book into my house, which turned out to be a book on growing flowers.

"If you like flowers, grow them yourself, and don't steal mine anymore."

"If there is anything you don't know, you can write to me and I will teach you."

I remembered these words, but I didn't ask him for advice. It's not that I want to enter the palace right away, but I think that since I am a concubine, I should cut off contact with others.

No matter how handsome the boy is.

Later, when I entered the palace, I occasionally read the book several times. When I found out that the first wife of the mansion, Fu Cha, was the biological sister of Fu Heng, I was so scared that I burned the book overnight.

My life cannot be delayed because of such unclear things.

As I get older and my memory becomes less good, I finally remember how to take care of these flowers.

"Mother, if you don't know how to grow flowers, I'll ask Master Fucha to give you a flower-growing book. Master Fucha is famous for his good flower-growing skills."

When I had killed countless pots of flowers again, Yongrong suddenly said this, and I asked him calmly.

"Why did you think of this? Are you worried that your mother will kill more flowers? I can't bear to do it."

Yongrong smiled.

"Of course not. It was that day when Lord Fucha came over and saw Mother tending flowers from afar, and he said that he had seen someone tending flowers like this before. He felt sorry for the flowers, so he decided to give Mother a book."

He remembers, he still remembers what happened back then.

That won't do. I've survived the first half of my life on my own, what does he want to do?

I am exhausted from giving birth to three children, raising a group of grandchildren, and serving the emperor.

I don't need to find a companion to take care of me when I am old enough to be free.

Even though I heard that this person refused to marry when he was young, and that the wife he later married seemed to look similar to me, even though he no longer has a wife.

I don't want to either.

"No, my mother likes to kill all the flowers."
