Chapter 221 Dark Cloud Pearl & New Moon (Part 3)

Shunzhi reviewed memorials every day, studied the future direction of the Qing Dynasty, and couldn't wait to put his ideas into practice. In his spare time, he went to Chenggan Palace to visit Wu Yunzhu. At first, he was worried that the nanny sent by Xiaozhuang would embarrass Wu Yunzhu. After all, Wu Yunzhu always looked speechless every time she saw him, so he sent his confidant, Cui Mama, to Chenggan Palace to serve Wu Yunzhu together and monitor the four nannies.

But after half a month, he found that Wu Yunzhu had gained some weight, her face was ruddy, and she seemed to be much healthier. The daily words and deeds of the four nannies reported by Cui Mama were also very normal. He couldn't help but blame himself for his meanness in his heart.

With four nannies guarding Wu Yunzhu, Shunzhi felt restrained every time he went there. He felt as if Xiaozhuang would know what he did in Chenggan Palace, but he attached great importance to the safety of Wu Yunzhu and the baby. In order to keep the baby safe, it was not easy to send people away. Gradually, he spent less time in Chenggan Palace and just went there every day to take a look.

Wu Liangfu was the best at reading his face. He found the right time to mention the queen several times. Shunzhi remembered the fun of playing chess with the queen and went to Chuxiu Palace. The decorations in Chuxiu Palace were all arranged according to Shunzhi's preferences. Shunzhi felt very comfortable as soon as he entered. When he saw many poems and paintings of the queen practicing on the table, his opinion of the queen changed a lot and his interest also increased.

Naren's movements became more and more natural in front of him. Sometimes she would cheat and act like a spoiled child after losing the game. Her young and lively smile was different from Wuyunzhu's sentimental and delicate face. Wuyunzhu made Shunzhi feel pity, but Naren aroused his playfulness that belonged to a teenager. The two of them got along better and better, and Shunzhi began to stay overnight in Chuxiu Palace.

Nanny Chen not only calculated the most fertile time of each month for Naren, but also gave her the fragments of the secret book of spring left by the previous favorite concubine. Naren endured the shame in her heart and studied it seriously. Sure enough, Shunzhi was very satisfied with it. Although everything in the palace has rules, Shunzhi has always hated being constrained by rules. Naren caters to him in such secret matters, which makes him feel that the relationship between the two has become closer, more like an ordinary couple.

From then on, Shunzhi always rested in Chuxiu Palace for six or seven days a month. Wuyunzhu could not sleep with him. Instead of inviting concubines with whom he had no common language, he felt more comfortable in Chuxiu Palace. Occasionally, when he was practicing calligraphy and painting, Naren would grind ink for him beside him, which made him feel like a red sleeve adding fragrance, which made him linger.

During the time when Naren was working hard for his offspring, Xiaozhuang reorganized the spies in the palace to ensure that she could understand the dynamics of each palace clearly. In addition, she also sent puppets to monitor Wuyunzhu, Shunzhi and Concubine Yijing. As for the previous dynasty, she has always maintained close contact with several important officials. Whether to intervene in politics is not as simple as a few verbal quarrels. Shunzhi always felt that the original owner suppressed him for power, but he didn't know that the original owner was just educating her son.

At present, it is not suitable for big moves in the court. The key is stability. While secretly grasping the general direction, she is also trying to extend her power. No matter how Shunzhi tries to deal with his new policies for governing the country, as long as the foundation cannot be shaken, she will not take action.

After Xiaozhuang recovered from her illness and closed the palace for many days, she finally resumed the concubines' greetings. Except for Wu Yunzhu who was ordered to protect her pregnancy, the queen led the concubines to the Cining Palace to pay respects every three days. Xiaozhuang also met Xuanye's biological mother Tong Fei. Tong Fei was very favored for a period of time before Wu Yunzhu entered the palace, but her reserved feelings were instantly eclipsed by Wu Yunzhu who was like a moth to a flame. Fortunately, from the beginning, Tong Fei was a smart woman. She knew that she represented the glory of the family, knew that what she wanted was status and a son. Although there were times when she was sad, reason prevailed after all.

Xiaozhuang looked at her face, which was a little pale, and it was difficult to hide the haggardness under her makeup. The princes in the palace were all raised in the prince residence and could not meet their biological mothers often. Concubine Tong lost the emperor's favor and was separated from her only son. Her life must have been boring. She originally died in the second year of Kangxi. Maybe it was Xiaozhuang and Naren's handiwork, but Xiaozhuang was not afraid of anyone seizing power now, so there was no need to deal with her.

"I haven't seen Fuquan and Xuanye for a long time. Concubine Ning Que and Concubine Tong, you should go to the prince residence this afternoon to take them back to your palace to stay for one night to talk about the mother-son relationship. Bring them to Cining Palace to show me tomorrow."

Concubine Ning Que and Concubine Tong looked at each other and immediately stood up to express gratitude.

After they left, Xiaozhuang looked out the window and asked, "Su Ma, what time is it now?"

Su Moer stepped forward and replied, "Princess, it's 15:00 now, and we'll have dinner in a while."

"Well, put the meal in Yongshou Palace."

"Princess?" Su Moer was startled and looked up at her, "Jing Fei..."

Xiaozhuang waved her hand and sighed, "It doesn't matter. I brought her into this cage, but because of my mother-son relationship, I didn't protect her to the end. Mengguqing is the pearl of Khorchin, and she shouldn't live with the shackles of being deposed for the rest of her life."

When they arrived at Yongshou Palace, Mengguqing was combing her hair in front of the mirror. Xiaozhuang waved her hand and ordered everyone to go down. Su Moer knew that she had something to say to Mengguqing alone, so she took the bouquet and retreated with the palace maids.

Mengguqing glanced at Xiaozhuang in the mirror, continued to comb her hair, and said with a smile: "What wind brought you here, aunt? I can't treat you well in Yongshou Palace."

Xiaozhuang walked up to her and took the comb from her hand, and quickly combed her hair into a Mongolian girl's hairstyle. Seeing Mengguqing's puzzled look, she smiled and whispered: "Mengguqing, are you still blaming your aunt? Fulin is my son, and you are my niece. I love both of you, but you are born to be incompatible. You always quarrel every time you meet."

Mengguqing sneered, "You still love your son more, so I am Concubine Jing today. Oh, I heard that you love my niece recently. The emperor and the empress are in harmony? Ha, what a joke!"

"That's because you want different things. Naren just wants to live in this palace safely. For this, she is willing to change herself. But you want Fulin's love. You know that he doesn't like your stubborn temper, but you refuse to give in to him. How can you let your aunt How can I help you?"

Xiaozhuang pulled Mengguqing to sit at the table, picked up dishes for her, and said with a smile: "Mengguqing, it is impossible to have love with an emperor. How many women in the harem are devoted to the emperor? But in the end, only the woman who wrote the reality of ruthlessness and love survived. You used to think that the emperor loved Concubine Tong, but the emperor didn't even know her name. You thought the emperor loved Hua Zi, but does the emperor still know her now? Do you think the emperor loves Wu Yunzhu? Now Wu Yunzhu is pregnant, but concubines Chen and Nara are also pregnant. Soon, Naren will also be pregnant. Do you still think he loves Wu Yunzhu?"

Mengguqing sat there expressionlessly, muttering in a low voice: "But at least they have been favored by Fulin..."

"So what? Mengguqing, don't love Fulin, and don't hate Fulin, just treat him as someone you once knew, and slowly forget about him, so that you can live your own life and start over. "She looked at Mengguqing's stubborn face and said, "Mengguqing, aunt knows about the six purses." Mengguqing raised her head suddenly and cried out, "How do you know?" Xiaozhuang stood up and walked to her side, touched her head, and sighed, "Mengguqing, I am the empress dowager in this palace. What is there that I don't know? Every time you get along with Fulin, you ask Huazhuzi to embroider a purse, but you have been the queen for three years, but you only have these six purses, so you are wronged, you complain, and you hurt Fulin's children. Aunt knows it, and aunt doesn't blame you, so Mengguqing, let yourself go. " Mengguqing covered her face and cried out uncontrollably. Others only knew that she was mean. She was rude and intolerant. Who knew why she became so jealous? She was the mother of the country, but her husband didn't even want to touch her. How could she not be angry and aggrieved?

Xiaozhuang patted her back and sighed in her heart. After her crying subsided, she told her her plan, "Aunt has summoned your father to Beijing. When the time comes, you can go out of the palace with him. Outside the palace, the sky is high and the land is vast. You can live whatever life you want. Promise your aunt to forget the unhappiness of the past, find someone who loves you again, and live well."

Mengguqing looked up at her in surprise and asked with sobs: "What did you say? Leave the palace? Are you telling the truth?"

Xiaozhuang replied affirmatively: "Yes, Concubine Jing of Yongshou Palace is seriously ill and cannot be cured. Aunt will arrange everything in the palace and no one will find out. And Mengguqing outside the palace will change her name and go to a place where no one knows you and live a good life. Mengguqing, aunt knows that you have feelings for Fulin, but you will only suffer more and more if you stay here. It is better to go and see the outside world. The world is big, and you can always find a place you like, with beautiful mountains and rivers, and freedom. No matter what you do, it is better than to endure the days in this high red wall. "

Mengguqing trembled a little, and was so excited that she couldn't speak. Leave the palace! These two words are too tempting for her. She is tired of this lonely life and the strange looks of others. If she can leave, can she really start over? "What about Huazhuzi? Can she go with me?"

Xiaozhuang nodded and said: "Have you and Huazhuzi reconciled? If you want to take her, aunt will arrange it for you, but you must know that this matter is a secret and no one can spread it."

Mengguqing was flustered and didn't know what to say. Xiaozhuang also knew that she needed time to think about it, so she patted Mengguqing on the shoulder, "Think about it carefully. When you think it through, come to Cining Palace to find aunt. "

Mengguqing looked at Xiaozhuang's back as she walked to the door, took a deep breath, held her own hand and asked in a trembling voice: "Aunt, why did you do this?"

Xiaozhuang paused, Mengguqing waited for a long time before hearing her low voice, "Because I am your aunt."
