It is said that When Tian Guifei was recalling her favor, it can be said that she was proud of the spring breeze. Once, because she was humiliated by Empress Zhou, she was sad at the time, and in the evening Emperor Chongzhen came to the Changchun Palace, saw her crying sadly like a tearful person, very distressed, and persuaded her, she was immediately greatly moved, and told the emperor the original place of her snubbed experience.
When the emperor heard this, he was immediately very angry. Seeing the emperor's angry look, his heart was suddenly much more relaxed.
The next day, the emperor specifically rebuked Zhou Shi, saying that she should not treat herself rudely like that.
It is said that Empress Zhou was about to explain, and the emperor immediately pushed her to the ground and flew away. At that time, when Hong Er and Xiao Cuilai talked to themselves in a colorful way, they actually laughed with joy for a while.
However, after Empress Zhou was wronged, she fell on the bed crying and did not eat, and after the emperor heard about it, he rushed to ask Yuan Guifei about the incident, and Fang knew that she had wronged Empress Zhou. Then, the emperor hurriedly came and scolded himself, and then forced himself to apologize to Empress Zhou.
After these were finished, the emperor asked people to give the Empress Zhou with a mink, and asked about the living conditions of the Empress Zhou with concern. That week, when the empress saw the emperor like this, her anger dissipated a lot, and she took care of herself from time to time.
Since when did she feel unwell, Empress Zhou came from Kunning Palace from time to time to ask for warmth, and sometimes, she also sent her imperial cook to boil the silver ear bird's nest soup and brought it over, saying that I was letting me replenish my body, and also said that I was the emperor's antidote to the depression, and the emperor worried about so many things, either the Manchus went south, or Li Thief and Zhang Thief ran rampant, and everything had to be decided by the emperor alone, and we as concubines should worry more about the emperor and make him happy.
However, the emperor has always been worried recently, and he has always said and laughed when he came to the Changchun Palace, but recently, his spirit seems to have collapsed, always frowning, it is said that the emperor of Manchurian Tartar, Emperor Taiji, just died, and got a new master, named Fu Lin or something, Xiao Cui said, that Fu Lin is still a 6-year-old doll!
Recently, I also heard that Zhang Xianzhong was attacking Sichuan along the Yangtze River from the Huguang area, and that Li Thief Zicheng was said to have also captured Xi'an, and recently said that he also returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors and feast on his hometown fathers and elders.
The little maozi in the honor room said that as soon as the emperor heard about Li Thief's return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, he immediately cried, and there was no meal at night, and yesterday, when he came to the concubine's place, he just sighed and stayed for a while and left. Not long ago, there was also a time when the emperor was probably here to seek relief, but he did not know what the concubine said, as if it touched the emperor's heart again, and the emperor immediately left with a full heart.
Anyway, the emperor has been particularly sensitive to anything in recent times. I don't know what happened to the emperor now, perhaps, he was in the Golden Ruan Palace with a group of ministers to discuss how to deal with Li Thief!......
Just when Tian Guifei was still pondering and reverie, suddenly she heard the shouts of the eunuch outside the palace gate, "The empress has arrived", at this time, Hong'er and Xiaocui, who had been pounding Tian Guifei's back and smashing their legs just now, as soon as they heard the shouts outside, they also stood up immediately, and while straightening the whole tian guifei's clothes, they cut their own hair and prepared to help Tian Guifei to the palace gate to greet Empress Zhou.
It was also at this time that Empress Zhou had already stepped into the palace door surrounded by several palace ladies and female officials. As soon as she entered the temple door, she saw Tian Guifei dragging her seemingly painful body towards herself, and she was also preparing to kneel down to give a salute.
When Empress Zhou saw it, she suddenly took three steps and two steps, while supporting Tian Shi, who was about to prostrate, and said with care: "Sister does not have to be polite, there is no need to be polite, sister is up quickly, sister is fast, see you are sick like this." With that, she instructed Hong'er and Xiao Cui to quickly help Concubine Tian to lie down on the bed.
As the daughter of the Chongzhen Emperor's Zhonggong, Empress Zhou was quite benevolent, and she was quite respected in the eyes of the concubine women of the entire Forbidden City and even Chongzhen himself.
The ancestors of the Zhou clan were from Suzhou, and later migrated to Daxing County near the capital. During the Apocalypse, the Zhou clan was chosen as a lady to enter the palace, and with her dignified beauty and knowledge of etiquette, she won the favor of Princess Liu Zhao, who presided over the affairs of the harem, and Empress Zhang of Xizong, and was registered as Princess Xin.
At that time, Zhu Youjian did not care about the major affairs of the state at all, so she was very anxious, so she recited Bai Juyi's "Long Hate Song" to Zhu Youjian all day long, trying to use the story of Tang Ming Emperor Li Longji and Yang Guifei to imply that Zhu Youjian could not only play with the concubines.
When Emperor Xizong died, Zhu Youjian succeeded to the throne without any trouble, and the Zhou clan was also listed as an empress as usual, in charge of all the affairs of the harem.
At this time, Hong'er and Xiao Cui were already waiting for Tian Guifei and her clothes to lie down, Empress Zhou came to the edge of the bed lightly and sat down, she pulled Tian Guifei's hand into her palm and gently squeezed it, while looking at Tian Guifei with concern, Tian Guifei saw that Empress Zhou was so courteous, she wanted to sit up hard, and her mouth kept murmuring: "Sister, sister, I really can't help it, Tian Guifei has lost a long way, I hope my sister forgives her sins." ”
When Empress Zhou heard this, she quickly whispered a sigh of relief: "Sister don't say this, these days, the mourning family has not been able to come to visit, I hope that my sister will forgive me, and it is most important for my sister to take care of her health."
Nowadays, the palace and the palace are very busy, the emperor and the mourning family are worried about a lot of things, and it is rare to have time to come and see the younger sister, who can take care of herself. With that, she let out a long sigh.
When Tian Guifei heard this, she knew that Empress Zhou's heart was also quite troubled, so she comforted Empress Zhou and said, "Sister should also take more care of herself, and this harem matter depends on her sister's place!" Alas, since the concubines were unwell, they had always been so sick and sick that they couldn't share some of them for their sisters, but they still had to take care of them, hey!" As she spoke, she burst into tears.
At this time, Hong'er had already brought a bowl of freshly brewed Tieguanyin for Empress Zhou, saying that she had let the empress dowager drink to warm her body. And Empress Zhou's personal maid Xiang'er had already handed the hand warmer she carried with her to Empress Zhou, and then several maids went to the side and squeezed their eyebrows and whispered.
Empress Zhou saw Tian Shi's tears, and hurriedly said: "Sister does not have to do this, be careful of crying and breaking her body, the younger sister can get better quickly, the sister and the mourning family can no longer increase the emperor's sorrow, perhaps, the sister has heard about Fu Lin on the new emperor of Mantarzi, and that Li Thief, since the occupation of Xi'an, is also attacking the three sides of the mile, and recently even returned to the hometown to sacrifice, I heard that the tomb that the emperor sent to dig up has been renovated." ”
"A few days ago, when the princes around the emperor came to give the concubines the comfort pills given by the emperor, they vaguely heard him talk about the manta and The Thief. However, I heard that the new emperor who was full of Tartars was only a 6-year-old doll!"
"The younger sister didn't know that although the new emperor was still just a doll, the uncle of the new emperor heard that the name of Dorgon was a man of great talent, and this young lord heard that he was assisted by this Rui Prince Dolgun and Prince Zheng and the other two princes!"
"Sister, how come the Mantars got a doll to succeed to the throne, but didn't directly let Dorgon become the emperor?"
"The Wai family is not too clear about this matter of the Tartars, but when qiu Yu, a university scholar, came to report to the emperor a few days ago, the Wai family just happened to be present, but sister, you also know, there are rules in the ancestors, and our women and Taoist families are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the dynasty, so the Wai family just listened to a few words from a distance on the side."
"Our women's families are not allowed to inquire about political affairs, and the concubines know that last year, didn't my sister teach concubines?" After speaking, Tian Guifei smiled faintly, and at the same time, she subconsciously looked at Empress Zhou.
Empress Zhou did not seem to notice Tian Guifei's laughter, but only said to herself: "Listening to Lord Qiu, there was no heir before the emperor Taiji died violently, so after his death, there was a situation in which the brothers of the kings competed for the throne." It is said that at that time, the most powerful of the kings to compete for the throne was the younger brother of Emperor Taiji, that is, the Prince Rui named Dolgun, and the other was The Prince of Su, Hauge, the eldest son of Emperor Taiji, so that the Two Political Forces of the Tartar Dynasty soon formed in opposition, and the two sides were on the verge of breaking out. ”
"Could it be that the 6-year-old doll couldn't make a profit?" At this time, Tian Guifei seemed to have a spirit, and she actually sat up with her hands.
Empress Zhou, while supporting her, continued, "Exactly." Nadolgun's power was very powerful, and he himself had courage and strategy, but after all, he was only the younger brother of Emperor Taiji, so his idea of succeeding to the throne was opposed by quite a group of kings. But Nadolgun was very cunning, he thought, since he could not succeed to the throne, he could not let Hauge succeed to the throne, so he proposed a compromise plan, let the youngest son of the emperor Taiji, who was only 6 years old, Fu Linlai, succeed to the throne, but he did not expect that this compromise proposal was approved by the eight factions of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. ”
"Then why did Dorgon choose Fu Lin?"
"I heard that Na Dorgon and NaFulin's mother, Emperor Taiji's concubine Xiaozhuang, was very good, and it is said that before Emperor Taiji was alive, the two of them often secretly crossed Chen Cangli!"
"No wonder, but that full of tartars is really not like words." Of course, Dorgon was also sinister enough. He didn't get the throne in name, but in fact he did, but the concubine still had considerable ability, otherwise, how could she make her son succeed to the throne?"
"No! Listening to Lord Qiu, this concubine was only one of the many concubines of the Emperor Taiji, and the Emperor Taiji did not spoil her too much before she died. ”
"Oh, this is fate, I didn't expect her to give birth to a good son!" Speaking of this, Tian Guifei coughed softly, and seemed to consciously think of the different fate arrangements of herself and Empress Zhou, others became empresses, and she could only be a noble concubine. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.
