She choked and said, "I understand this principle. The two of Niuhulu's family tried every means to find my mistake... But I dared to say this before your Imperial Concubine. Because in this harem, I can only say anything in front of you, Imperial Concubine."

Wanxi raised her eyes quietly, "Yonggui, what do you want me to do for you? Zhang De deserves to hurt someone and pay for his life."

Yongguiren cried to the ground, "...Imperial Concubine, I am afraid that the emperor will be annoyed by this! I am innocent, and Zhang De's personality is not taught by me! He has been serving my palace for less than two years!"

Yong Guiren said with hatred, "Besides, I always feel that this matter is not simple! Shunpin and Lan Guiren had long wanted to work together to rectify me. Zhang De was originally a slave in the Empress Dowager's harem, so I suspected that this matter was done by the two of them, but they were both unjustly on my head!"

Wanxi sighed softly, "This matter is ultimately due to Zhang Dejiao. Yonggui, I want to ask you, Zhang Deneng will leave the palace at any time and make friends with the royal family at will. Have you ever controlled it? If there is no matchmaking you gave him, how can he leave the palace at any time?"

"When it comes to this matter, you have made mistakes after all. If the emperor really wants to pursue it, you should admit it if you have any mistakes. The emperor will distinguish the severity of your fault and will not wrongly accuse you."

Yonggui Ren fell to the ground and cried, "After that being said, I'm afraid that someone would do anything wrong! If Shunpin and Lan Guiren joined forces to say that Zhang De's murder was my instigation of slavery, then I'll be done... The emperor will not spare me."

Wanxi lowered her head and thought about it quietly, but raised her hand to call Yong Guiren, "Lingzhi, come here, I'll ask you something."

Concubine Yong was stunned.

The Imperial Concubine hasn't called her nickname for a long time.

The noble man Yong hurried forward, "I would like to hear it carefully!"

Wanxi smiled and said, "I'll ask you, what day is this year and what day is next?"

Yongguiren was stunned by the question, but he was still young and smart, so he immediately answered, "This year is the emperor's 600,000 birthday, and next year is the empress dowager's 800,000 birthday!"

Wanxi nodded in praise, "So, go back."

Concubine Yong was stunned and looked up at Wanxi, "Imperial Concubine?"

Wanxi stood up by herself, turned around and looked inward, "Yu Chan, I'll send you Master Yong to me."

When Concubine Yong left Wanxi's bedroom, she still couldn't stop crying along the way.

Guan Lan couldn't help but mutter, "What does the imperial concubine mean? After all, why don't you want to gang leader?"

Yongguiren also gritted his teeth, "It was me who was wrong. I shouldn't have come to her today! Maybe with her, I wish we young people would fight to the death, she was so happy to watch from the wall!"

Sure enough, within a few days, the emperor's "Yiqingkuang" in the summer resort decided to punish the offender this year.

Especially when Gou Jue went to the eunuch Zhang De to murder Taoist Kang Fuzheng, in addition to Gou Jue Zhang De, he also criticized the Duke of the Assistant State who was raising Taoist priests and the royal family member Ning Sheng'e, and issued an order to hand Ning Sheng'e over to the clan's office for investigation, and would never give up.

On the night when Zhang De was decided, the emperor sent an order to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and surrendered the noble people to Yongchang.

After seven years of entering the palace, I finally became a noble person, but this time I was reduced to the Changzai.

Yongchang cried in his bedroom with a grievance, "She really refused to say a word for me. She just wanted to watch me being demoted and then beaten back to her original form!"

Guan Lan also cried with the master with grievance, "Who said no... This matter has nothing to do with the master from beginning to end. Just someone can say something in the emperor's ear, and the emperor can immediately understand it."

"After all, this is not a big deal for the imperial concubine. The master is not going to cause trouble for the imperial concubine. Why doesn't she even want to help with this little effort?"

Yonggui Ren shined his nose with a slight resentment and wiped his tears with his sleeves.

"Forget it, she won't help me pull it down!"

Yongguiren's tears gradually dried up, and she turned to look out the window, "I, since the first day I entered the palace, I have never really thought about competing with her. I know that once I can't compete for it, because of her years in the palace and her frequency of childbirth, she has already become a mess in this palace. If I aim at her, I will turn into a scoundrel and shake a big tree."

"But seven years have passed, seven years! How much effort did I have for her over the past seven years and how many times did I try to please her? But in the end, I only got such a result! - I realized that I was wrong, it was ridiculously wrong."

"She doesn't like me. Since the woman chose me, she gave me my brand. I should have understood that she has never liked me in her heart! It's my delusion!"

Yonggui Ren slowly stood up, "Since that's the case, I have changed my mind! I want to compete for favor, go compete for favor with her!"

In December, the harems of the previous dynasties were preparing for the New Year.

But at this critical moment, the emperor suddenly issued an order to scold the Fourth Prince for going away.

It was December that the emperor went to the study room to investigate the prince and grandson's homework, but found that Yongshu was not in the study room.

The princes and grandsons of the Qing Dynasty were not adults, and they could not go to the study room after getting married, unless they were arranged by the emperor. For example, Yongsheng was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and had no other responsibilities except for office in the yamen office, or the princes and grandsons who did not have to work in the fixed yamen office still had to go to the study room every day to study.

——In fact, this is also a means used by the royal family to restrain the princes and grandchildren. In this way, the princes and grandchildren are surrounded by the palace and separate them from foreign officials. Only when the "Nine Dragons Fight for the Throne" again did not commit the "Nine Dragons Fight for the Throne", each prince made friends with foreign ministers in private, and each had his own power.

Especially at this time, except for Xiao Shiwu and Xiao Shiqi, all the princes and grandchildren were already adults and married, and the emperor was over 60 years old. It was the time when the princes and grandchildren had their wings hard and the emperor was not yet sensitive to officially becoming a crown prince.

When the emperor saw that Yongchun was not seen, he was furious and asked about Yongchun's whereabouts.

The answer after the search was: Yongsheng said that he was sacrificing in the mansion, so he didn't go to the study room to study.

The reason for Yongsheng sounds high-sounding - that's right, gods are more important, and they are beyond all the rules of this world.

But it was fine if Yongsheng didn't find a reason to cover up, but he found such a reason, and the emperor was furious.

The emperor issued an order: "The worship of the gods was performed in the early morning. After the worship, you can still enter the house as usual. The fourth prince used this name to not enter the study for a day, which is different... If you don't know how to reflect on it, once it is found, you can no longer be Qu Shu. His master, Anda, what's the matter?! I will investigate the Senate!"

In the end, Yongshu's master and Anda took the past for Yongshu.

However, the emperor's anger at this age still sounded the alarm for the princes and grandchildren: the more the emperor reaches this age, the more the princes and grandchildren are already adults, and the emperor's constraints and defenses on the princes and grandchildren will be stricter.

With the emperor's nature, it is never allowed to happen again like the Nine Dragons' battle for the throne. Only the emperor will decide on the matter of the crown prince, and no one is allowed to go privately!

Although Yongsheng himself was not punished, he was publicly ordered by the emperor to scold him at Niangen. This was called nervous inside and outside Yongsheng's mansion.

Before contacting the eighth prince Yongxuan, he was scolded by the emperor for almost the same reason - this makes people think more about it.

The three princes who were born to the Imperial Concubine Shujia were all implicated for this reason, and were scolded by the emperor openly and secretly.

The prince who is still alive and has not succeeded, the eighth prince Yongxuan, the eleventh prince Yongyan, the twelfth prince Yongyan, the fifteenth prince Yongyan and the seventeenth prince Yonglin.

Among them, the twelfth princes obviously had no hope; the emperor scolded all three princes from the imperial concubine Shujia in this year, and only the fifteenth prince and the seventeenth prince two who were not yet adult.

Yong's concubine Irgen Jueluo family, Yongxuan, Fujin Qingzao and Yong's concubine Fujin Fuling were inevitably in unison, so they took advantage of the opportunity of going to the inner squad to prepare for the Kunning Palace for sacrifice during the Chinese New Year to gather together to discuss the matter quietly.

In addition to preparing for sacrifices, the three princes and concubines must also be in charge of the inner court. This time, the three who are busy with each other are Shu Fei, Shunpin and Yongguiren.

Needless to say, Shu Fei always went to Yong Yan in her heart; Shunbin took the excuse of being young and staying out of the matter.

However, Yonggui avoided people and privately met Yongfujin Yiergen Jueluo.

Yonggui Ren smiled and said, "Look, the Fourth Prince has lost some of his purity? I think it's because of the Fourth Prince's incident a few days ago?"

Finally, I remembered that Yong Guiren was the person in front of the Empress Dowager, and Irgen felt that Luo was polite, "I dare not hide it from Master Yong... That's right. I really can't figure out why the emperor suddenly got such a big nameless fire under this year."

Concubine Yong lowered her head and smiled, "Who told the Fourth Prince to be the eldest brother? The Emperor had scolded the Eighth Prince before, and then scolded the Fourth Prince, and this made people unable to help but think of the Fourth Prince, the Eighth Prince and the Eleventh Prince's first-class compatriots..."

Yongguiren turned his head and looked at the stove-food buns on a pot on the incense table. "I'm curious. Who will benefit after the eighth prince and the fourth prince were scolded by the emperor one after another? I think it shouldn't be the underage fifteenth prince, and the seventeenth prince."

Yonggui Ren smiled sweetly, "After all, the Imperial Concubine once went with the Eighth Prince and the Eleventh Prince. Not only will the Imperial Concubine touch anyone's mind for her son, but she will definitely not touch the three princes produced by the Imperial Concubine Shujia."

Irgen Jueluo narrowed his eyes.

"…Master Yong said that the Imperial Concubine was with the Eighth Prince and the Eleventh Prince, but she didn't have such deep affection with our Prince."

Yongguiren waved his hand with a smile, "Oh, that's what I'm talking nonsense. I finally entered the palace late. I've only heard about it for so many years in the harem, and I have nothing to do to be accurate."

Concubine Yong blinked at Irgen Jueluo, "The Fourth Concubine forgot what I said just now. I forgot all of my words after I finished speaking. If the Fourth Concubine remembers it again, it would be boring."

In this twelfth lunar month, because of the influence of this incident, Yongshu closed the door and lived in silence, and no one dared to see him.

However, the envoys of Goryeo still prepared generous gifts and tried every means to use the natural maintenance of Goryeo and Imperial Concubine Shujia to enter the mansion to greet Yongsheng in advance.

This has been the practice of Goryeo envoys for many years. They wanted to find out some information for the Goryeo King through this relationship so that when the Goryeo King pays tribute in the first month of the next year, they could meet the emperor's preferences and avoid the emperor's unhappiness.

The Goryeo envoys were always humble and polite in front of Yongshu, and they could communicate with each other in Goryeo dialect, but they could not understand the prince's palace chief and others.

Yongsheng held a banquet and had a meal. After three rounds of wine, the Korean envoy threw bricks and jade.

"... Since the death of the Qing empress, our country has been paying tribute to the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager every year. Our country thinks that since the Empress has passed away, the emperor will definitely establish the central palace. According to the Qing Dynasty, a new empress will be enthroned twenty-seven months later."

"Therefore, our country has never stopped paying tribute to the Empress. But it has been far more than twenty-seven months. Why can't I hear the emperor's intention to enthrone the empress? Besides, this year is the emperor's 600,000th birthday, and next year is the empress dowager's 80th birthday. It's time to do the matter of enthroning the new empress in the past two years!"

Yongsheng thought about the words that Moji Irgen Jueluo brought back from the palace, and couldn't help but shake his head and sneer.

"New Queen? Who do you say to be appointed as the new queen? The current imperial concubine is the romance woman under the jurisdiction of the inner custody. Her family was incarnated into Xinzheku for crimes. How could she become the queen of the palace?"

"As for Concubine Qing, she is a Han girl from Jiangnan. Her father doesn't even have an official position. If she hadn't been named a great scholarly family of 'Jiangnan Erlu', how could she have come into the palace and go to this day?"

The rank of the Goryeo harem is also very strict, and the selection of the princess's nave is also very important for family background. Moreover, when Zhang Xipin was born in the Goryeo harem, he was also a woman with a low family background, deposed the princess, and then gave birth to an heir, and was named the princess. This is also the only woman in the history of the Goryeo harem who became a princess as a "middle man".

Therefore, the Koreans also dislike such things that are chaotic.

The envoy of Goryeo said, "Since that is the case, the imperial concubine should never be qualified to be enthroned as a queen! Then why should our country offer the tributes that should have been presented to the queen to a woman with such a low family background?"

When the Goryeo envoy returned to the country at the end of the year, he reported the matter to the King of Goryeo.

The King of Goryeo formally asked the Ministry of Rites of the Qing Dynasty whether he would continue to offer tributes to the queen when it was empty.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites tactfully asked the emperor for the imperial edict, and explained that the King of Goryeo emphasized that he had paid tribute to the empress without any existence for four years... Goryeo has a small country with few small tributes, and this four consecutive years of extra tribute really made it difficult for Goryeo to support it.

After seeing this, the emperor sneered, "I don't care about the little things they paid tribute! If I hadn't used tribute as a submission to the vassals, I wouldn't even want their own part!"

The tributes from Goryeo over the years were just some Goryeo paper, various mats, etc. Goryeo paper is indeed a good thing, but why are those mats and so on rare things like that?

Moreover, when Emperor Taizong conquered Goryeo, there were tributes with more difficult purchases such as tigers and bears in the tributes. Later, they were cancelled during the Kangxi period, just to prevent them from making things difficult for them.

But today, it’s getting worse!

The emperor sneered and threw the Goryeo King's memorial: "Tell them that there is no need to pay tribute! I don't take this tribute seriously yet!"

In the first month of the 36th year of Qianlong, the emperor sent a New Year's gift, and Wanxi found that she had gained a lot more than in previous years.

Especially the bedding, big red orangutan felt, etc., are more than in previous years.

Wanxi didn't think much about it at first, just thinking that maybe it was because Xiaoqi got married last year, and this year the emperor gave her the part she had given to Xiaoqi in previous years?
