Eight years of war was finally settled, and the Great Clear won the whole world.
In terms of rewarding the king for his services, the imperial harem will be sealed.
After several months of fighting, Kangxi, twenty years, under the continuous encirclement and attack of the Manchu army, finally broke down the confidence of the soldiers and soldiers of the Wu Army. The Manchu army captured Kunming, the Wu Army lost its momentum, the Sun of Wu Sangui committed suicide, and the Manchu army won the complete victory. The war that lasted eight years finally came to an end.
This victory was of far-reaching significance to the Qing Dynasty. Although eight years of war had left the treasury of the Qing Dynasty empty and seriously damaged the rule of the Qing Dynasty, at the same time, the victory of the Qing Army had dealt a great blow to the anti-Qing forces that had been accumulating in the Central Plains since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. It had also shaken the confidence of the Central Plains in expelling Manchu and laid a solid foundation for three hundred years of history of the Great Qing.
In the past twenty years, Xuan Ye had bestowed rewards to all the meritorious officials in the imperial court, and naturally, to the emperors of the imperial palace, Xuan Ye was determined to stop building the harem, so he decided to enclose the two candidates separately. The new Imperial Concubine Yi would remain as the successor of the Imperial Noble Concubine Yi, with the temporary master of the harem; the new Imperial Consort Wen would become the successor of the harem, and all those who continued the Dragon Pulse would be appointed as the meritorious officials of the harem.
Rong'er had been promoted to Imperial Concubine Rong and stayed in Yikun Palace because of the four princes.
The two princes of Huijie were promoted to the Imperial Concubine Hui and occupied the main palace of the Palace.
Xuande gave birth to two princes, who were promoted to Imperial Concubine De and served in the main palace of Yonghe Palace.
Yi Lan gave birth to a prince, who was promoted to Imperial Concubine Yi, and was granted the main palace of the Eternal Longevity Palace.
The second concubine who did not give birth to a dragon's heir, the concubine, still reigns in the throne, still resides in the old palace.
In addition, all of the following nobles and princes were conferred the title of nobles:
The two princes of the Chang Zai Tong have been promoted to the position of noblemen, and are still living in the Palace of Storage and Sculpture.
Liang had promised Naren Tuoya that a prince would be promoted to a noble family. Due to the instructions of the empress dowager, he was allowed to move into the's storage palace with her to take care of Yin.
Cheng Xueju promised a prince to become a nobleman, still living in Yonghe Palace;
At the same time, Xuan Ye had once again made clear the rank of the palace that had been faintly enforced: one queen, one Imperial Noble Concubine, two imperial concubines, four concubines; six consorts in total, under the title of concubine, the number of people is uncertain, and in the future, according to the number of consort, since most of the imperial concubines and Imperial Noble Concubine s are conferred by their concubines, the total number of Imperial Noble Concubine s, imperial concubines, and imperial concubines does not exceed seven people.
In order to balance the number of people in each palace, the path of the former storage palace was agreed to move to Yikun Palace, while the former Yongshou Palace often agreed to move to Chengkang Palace. At this point, each of the palaces will be occupied by an imperial concubine as follows:
Eastern Palace: Cheng Gan Palace: Imperial Noble Concubine Yi Tong Jiaxu Ning, Lan Chang in the wedding tower, often promised Chang Le.
The Shrine of the Bell: The Imperial Concubine Wen, Nguyen Hüseyin, Consort Dong Sishu, Bu Chang Zai in Zhao Jiabining, Ma Chang Zai in Ma Che'er.
Yonghe Palace: Imperial Concubine De Wu Yaxuan, expensive promise to Lin Cuigui, longevity promise to Yan Shengning, promise to Dai Jiaxue.
West Palace: Yi Kun Palace: Imperial Concubine Rong Ma Jia Rong'er, Yin Chang Zai Yin Ruoran, Ling promised Ling Xiao`er, Lu promised Xi La Na Lu
Palace: Nalahuijie, Imperial Concubine Hui, Nalentoa, Nalahuaijia, Nalahuaiju, Yi Changzhu, Yilaiya, Nalahuaiju, Nalahuai, Nalahuai, Nalahuai, Nalahuai, Nalahuazu, Nalahuazu, Nalahuazu, Nalahuazu,
Eternal Longevity Palace: Yilan, the consort of Yiluo, Yilan, Luojie, Luojie, Luojie, Luojie.
Within the main palace of the Cheng Gan Palace, the four year old Yin Xin looked at his concubine who was taking the medicine and sighed softly.
"Why are you sighing so much?" asked Yi Yun Fei as she held on to Yin Zheng's hand and laughed softly.
"The imperial concubine took the medicine, it was bitter." He is not a particularly talkative child.
"The pain of the medicine is far less than the pain in your eldest mother's heart," said Yi Yun Fei in a low voice as she gently embraced Yin Zheng in his arms. She knew that Ama and the other ministers had requested for her to be their queen, that the emperor had always treated her well and had always treated her very warmly. The emperor often said that not only were you my concubine, you were also my cousin. She knew that the one the emperor cared about the most was Rong'er. She didn't care about this because she knew that all of Rong'er's conditions were such that he couldn't become the empress. She thought that the empress would give this position to her, but she really thought that she would become the empress. Her heart is so bitter …
Of course Yin Xin didn't understand the meaning of having a heart worse than medicine. He only knew that his Imperial Mother wasn't happy …
She was still young, so she didn't understand a lot of things. But after entering the palace for the past two years, she found out that her elder sister didn't attract anyone's attention here, was it because she was the empress? It was because of her overbearing personality that she had never competed with her sister at home. She wasn't like her sister, who was destined to be a concubine since she was young, and if her elder sister hadn't passed away, perhaps she wouldn't have entered the palace, she knew that the Emperor didn't really like her, that her title originated from her family, from her elder sister. In fact, she was just a shadow, her elder sister's shadow in the palace, and she was also a spectator in the palace.
At the entrance of the palace, Waijie was still wearing her simple and elegant qipao as she gazed at the distant sky. She didn't know what she had obtained and what she had lost. Some of her memories were very far away and she couldn't remember. She would never think about it again, never think about it again … She really didn't know …
She only knew that after waiting for more than ten years, she had gained a Imperial Concubine, and the value of her life was demonstrated through this small promotion. She gently hugged Yin Zhu in her arms, and a benevolent smile appeared on her face. This child was very adorable, with round eyes and white skin. She knew that her hope wasn't for Yin Hu, but for this child … This was the greatest support for her life …
When she entered the palace, she had already vowed that she would fight for the emperor's heart, making the emperor think of her. Judging from how her illness had caused the emperor to ask her, and from the way her third child was about to be born, the emperor's heart already had her. Although she was far from being as good as Rong'er, she never wanted to compete with Rong'er, she only wanted that part of her that she should protect and strive for. No matter what methods she had to use, she had to protect herself and fight for her own life.
Yin Zheng had been taken good care of by the Imperial Noble Concubine Yi, but he had taken good care of Yin Zheng. Yin Wei and the Imperial Noble Concubine Yi were especially close, causing her, his birth mother, to never be able to match up to Imperial Consort Yi in his son's heart. Fortunately, she still had Yin Yin, who was well-behaved and sensible, whom the Emperor liked a lot.
In the main palace of the Longevity Palace, Yi Lu stared at Yi Lan. "I don't understand why you want to go to the Palace of Longevity. Even though you know that we love quarreling, you still keep me looking at you."
"No rules, I'm an imperial concubine and you're a noble. How can you say that?" Yi Lan lazily sat on the warm brick bed, lazily watching her sister complain.
"Wuu …" "Why is it that I was the one who gave birth to the princess? If I were the prince, I would have been promoted to a concubine …" Yi Lu began to cry.
"That's enough, that's enough. If you want to blame someone, blame your stomach for not being able to put up a good fight." Yilan did not give Yi Lu any face as she said this without a trace of politeness.
"Who did I offend this time? Why did I allow you to take all the good things in my life?!" "I can't accept this! I can't accept this!" Yichun stared at Yilan in dissatisfaction.
"Don't be so bitter, I'll give you an apple to eat. This is a tribute from Korea, given to concubine by the emperor. A noble like you wouldn't have it …" Yi Lan smiled and threw the apple to Yi Lu.
Yi Lu took it and gently took a bite. It was so sweet, so sweet. She thought to herself, I can't accept this. I have to turn things around!
In Yi Kun Palace, a pair of children were playing around Rong'er.
"Xian'er, Zhi'er, stop messing around!" Sit tight! " The two children were at the age where they loved to cause trouble, and Rong'er had a headache just by looking at them.
"Zhi'er, your eldest mother told you to sit obediently!" Rongxian stood up straight and spoke righteously in the manner of an elder sister.
"Alright, alright," Ning Xiaoyao nodded, then sat back down on the chair.
Little Qing stepped forward and said with reddened eyes, "Mistress, you've finally survived. Really, you were born to be a concubine. Mistress is the first person we've ever known."
Rong'er raised her head and looked at Xiao Qing. "Is Consort Jin very important?"
"Of course it's important! Little Qing nodded. At least in this palace, no one dares to disappoint us. " "Mistress, you know that after following you for so many years, this servant is always worried that you don't have a tough personality. You don't even have a good background, and if you lose your pampered one day, you'll be in a miserable state in this palace. Now, it's alright, the emperor has never forgotten about you."
He said softly, "Xiaoqing, thank you. You haven't left the palace, have accompanied me within the palace, and Su Ya and the others are all my relatives within the palace. Although our identities are different, our friendship is the same, I see you as sisters."
Xiaoqing cried even more sorrowfully. She was truly crying with happiness. It had taken her 15 years to become a concubine. This sounded unbelievable, but her master had done it … He became the first concubine to be born in the Qing Dynasty!
In the dead of night, Rong'er walked out of the palace. Although it was the dead of winter in December, she didn't feel cold at all. She sat down lightly on a stone chair in the courtyard and looked up at the night sky. Rong'er lightly took out a jade pendant from her chest and warmed her body. Under the warm moonlight, it emitted a faint cyan light, and quietly muttered: "Zhi Zhi, where are you now? Was he happy? I'm sure you'll be happy! "I just wanted to tell you, sincerely, that I am very happy, and that this happiness, as you once blessed it, was given to me by the Emperor!"
She was no longer that Gai Rong'er who had just entered the palace and was now a palace maid. She was now the emperor's concubine, Ma Jia Rong'er, and time had brought her many emotions. Time had also passed through her, allowing her to grow, allowing her to mature, but her heart was still filled, because … She had a child she loved deeply, and a man she loved deeply …
Looking back, her youth was fading, her face was aging, and so was he. He had gone from the handsome young Son of Heaven to the majestic and awe-inspiring Emperor … Perhaps many things were changing, but the warmth in her heart would never change. Looking back, she knew that this was a period of unrepentant youth …
"Kangxi harem Ⅰ: verdant verdure" • Completion
Concluding remarks
During the twenty years of life in the harem, Sixth Concubine Yi and Yi De had stood on their respective Imperial Concubine. The years had not stopped, and this was the end of it, or perhaps this was also the beginning …
This could be considered an end, and this could be considered a happy ending. Imperial Concubine Rong became the first woman in clothing to ascend the Imperial Concubine in Qing Province, and the victory of the eight years of war commanded by Kang Xi laid a solid foundation for the entire Qing Dynasty … Imperial Concubine Rong and Xuan Ye had spent their youth together, so < < Kangxi Rear Palace > > said goodbye to everyone.
This could be the beginning of a new chapter, because the story of Emperor Kang Xi was not finished yet. Of course, the story of the Kang Xi harem would also continue … As he grew older, what could the Imperial Concubine Rong do? Will she continue to have Kangxi's most pampered love... What kind of imperial decision would the emperor, Kang Xi Di, make? All of this "Kangxi harem II: The flow of time" would continue to tell the story …
Finally, thanks to the earliest readers for their half a year of waiting, as well as the new readers for their silent support. The two of you have lived through the first twenty years of Kangxi, a whole twenty years of history, without anyone noticing.
