Chapter 214 Hongli is heartbroken 2
After Hongli pacified Gao Xiyue, he left the main hall and handed over the management of palace affairs to Hailan.
Hai Lan bowed and declined: "I have a poor family background and have never learned how to manage a household. I have been doing nothing these years and have only enjoyed the care of the Queen. I am limited in my ability and I am afraid I cannot take on such a big responsibility."
Hongli was tired and said, "It doesn't matter. Can it be worse than an official girl?"
His demands are not high. Just don't make things difficult for his wife and children, and just hope that everyone can just barely survive.
Yihuan of Chuxiu Palace was also ill. She said that her kidney energy was weak and her complexion was extremely bad. She dared not see the emperor and declined the emperor's visit.
Concubine Zhe of Yikun Palace was also sick. Although she slapped Ruyi and kicked her out, she did not let her take advantage.
But she said that she had been feeling upset recently and got annoyed when she saw people. The empress dowager said that she had also experienced this for a few years and advised the emperor to be understanding.
Jin Yuyan from Qixiang Palace was also sick. Ruyi wanted to send the Eleventh Prince to the Ministry of Punishment, which made Concubine Jia very angry.
Jin Yuyan threatened Ruyi that if anyone dared to bully her child, she would go to Ruyi's palace gate and take poison, and would not let her go even if she became a ghost.
In Zhongcui Palace, Ke Xin used tea to dissolve blood-red rouge and dyed it on a handkerchief.
Su Lujun held it tightly, preventing Hongli from seeing it, but Hongli could still see a small blood-red corner.
Bai Ruiji of Yonghe Palace also fell ill. She said that she was frightened by the angry emperor. Seeing the harem in chaos due to the palace maids, she felt anxious and could not sleep at night.
I took too many tranquilizers and my menstrual period became heavy. The imperial physician said it was a precursor to metrorrhagia and advised me to take good care of myself, otherwise it would affect my lifespan.
Of course, how could the fearless little rose Bai Ruiji be frightened? She was reckless when she agreed, and now that she is the mother of two princesses, she is even more fearless.
Concubine Yi of Jingyang Palace and Concubine Shen of Yanxi Palace were both frightened by the court ladies and then were bedridden.
Hongli closed the door, hid himself and started crying. Although he was known as the "Son of Heaven" to others, he knew in his heart that he was not a real god and he could not snatch people from the King of Hell.
In the face of nature, birth, aging, sickness and death, human beings are so fragile and insignificant.
There has been too much negative energy these past two days and he has been feeling overwhelmed.
Although he was extremely wealthy and had always had fresh beauties sent to the Forbidden City whenever he wanted, he was reluctant to part with his concubines.
Those who fell ill in the past few days were all people who had been with him for decades. The passion faded, and something similar to family and friendship grew. He really couldn't bear to let them go, and he didn't want to become a real loner.
He thought carefully about what had happened in the past few years. If the concubines in the harem had really divided into factions and fought against each other, would people really continue to die, including his children?
What will be the fate of his Yonglian, Yongqi, Yongcong, and his Jingse, Jingju, and Jingshu?
Hongli wiped away his tears and called all the children to his side.
A mother's feelings, even if they are fake, will never curse her own children.
I am the only one acting, while my children are living their normal lives in good health. Those who have grown up are working hard for their dreams, while those who have not grown up are working hard to grow.
Hongli felt a little relieved.
The Empress Dowager watched the fire from the other side. No matter how they made a fuss, she only helped Hongli take care of the children who were still in the palace every day.
Hengchui went out every day to pick up gossip and then came back to tell her about it.
The Queen Mother said: "The Emperor is confused. He really believes that so many concubines are sick at the same time."
Hengchu said: "Perhaps this is exactly what my brother is afraid of."
Power is certainly fascinating, but if you really become alone, can power make up for that loneliness?
It is said that if one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit. The family culture is deeply rooted in the Chinese people.
The Queen Mother teased the little parrot and said, "We are not plants or trees, so how can we be heartless? After so many years of living together, we do have some feelings for each other."
She was very happy. The child she chose, although ruthless, was not heartless.
Hongli wiped away his tears and sent someone to break one of Ruyi's legs, forbidding her to leave the cold palace again.
Rong Pei gritted her teeth and asked Ruyi to return her leg.
Ruyi screamed and covered her left leg. So this is what it feels like to be disabled.
He grabbed the stone table in the cold palace courtyard in pain and tried to stand up, but one leg was unable to maintain balance and he fell down.
After being a master for a few days, his fingernails grew a little bit. He knocked his fingernails hard on the stone table, and the nails peeled off the flesh on his fingertips, which fell into the mud.
Ruyi howled miserably. Her fingers were connected to her heart, and the pain of broken nails was incomparable to that of broken legs.
A Ruo was choosing clothes for Yongji to wear for the New Year's Eve family dinner in the Yanxi Palace when she suddenly felt a shudder, and then she felt relaxed all over as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.
Suo Xin is preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. This year, Jiang Yubin is not on duty on New Year's Eve, so their family can have a good reunion.
Suo Xin also felt a shudder, and then her whole body felt relaxed.
Another New Year is approaching and New Year’s Eve is here.
Everyone washed off the sick looks on their faces and walked out of the palace.
Hai Lan decorated the palace very well and arranged the New Year's Eve banquet in an orderly manner.
Palace banquets are grand but not extravagant; family banquets are warm but frugal.
Zhen Huan picked up the wine glass and toasted Hongli.
"Your Majesty, I was not feeling well a few days ago. I was powerless and almost made a big mistake. It was my fault. I offer a toast to Your Majesty to apologize."
Hongli quickly picked up the wine glass and comforted her: "As long as the queen is healthy, everything else is nothing. Fortunately, the queen recovered before New Year's Eve. All the bad things will be left in the old year."
Gao Xiyue drank the wine in the glass, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have personally made dumplings with various fillings and present them to you. Please try them."
Hongli happily took one from each plate, making sure everyone had a share.
The performance was left to the young people, while the old people all lay down and concentrated on enjoying the food.
Han Xiang now personally feels the power of the four words "Big New Year". In this atmosphere, no matter how much sadness and worries there are in her heart, she can let them go for a short time.
Rong Pei gave Ruyi a chicken leg, half a fish, and two taels of beef. It was New Year's Day, and she had already given herself a leg, so she should give her a meal.
The sound of firecrackers rang out in every corner of the Forbidden City. Rong Pei finally said, "Remember, if you set fire to the palace, you will be imprisoned for life."
Then they walked to the courtyard. Li Yu prepared firecrackers and they each lit one. Amid the fireworks, they all wished that they could get rid of Ruyi, the trouble, and retire safely in the new year.
After the new year, the army will set out to invade Burma. Not only Fuheng will go, but also the fourth prince consort Hailancha and the sixth prince consort Fulongan.
After returning from the palace, Jing Ai counted the silver in her private treasury. Her dowry included shops and fertile fields given by her father and mother.
She unlocked her talent for business and finance and made a fortune. She saved a little for herself and donated the rest to military expenses, fully supporting the emperor and her husband.
Jingyan copied down various prescriptions for treating and preventing diseases.
The climate of Myanmar is unavoidable for the Eight Banners descendants who go to the north, and various diseases will arise.
Fu Longan told her not to worry, the soldiers from Yunnan and Guangxi would also assist in the battle, and he would definitely return home safely and healthily soon.
Jingyan knew that this Qing-Myanmar war was not that simple, and she could only confirm again and again whether the preparations were proper.
