[Qing] Concubine Wen Xi's Rebirth Handbook

Chapter 36 The Calm Before the Storm

On July 19th of the 26th year of Kangxi, Empress Niu Hulu's family collapsed in Kunning Palace, and on July 28th, the Queen's Palace of Daxing was transferred to Wuying Hall.On August 25th, the Queen's Palace of Daxing was transferred to Gonghua City, where she lived with Empress Xiaoren in the Hall of Xiang, and her posthumous posthumous title was Empress Xiaozhao.

He Min was dazed, as if all her tears had been shed. Looking at the white eyes in the palace, she felt her eyes were dry and sore. She shook her body, sighed slightly, and said, "Chun... my sister is really gone. ..."

"Your Majesty, go in and rest." Er Chun was about to cry, she didn't know how to persuade her master, and said, "You are too tired."

"The Empress must not want to see you like this." Seeing Er Chun's eyes begging for help, Wei took a step forward and said, "My Lady, I know that you are sad, but this day... I still have to live on. of."

"Yes." He Min bent the corners of her mouth, showing a slightly bitter smile, and said, "My sister is like a mother to me." She looked at the sky, took a deep breath, and said : "You're right, I shouldn't be so decadent, otherwise my sister should be sad." She can live a new life, maybe in a place that I don't know, my sister will also have such a chance.

With the support of Erchun and Wei Shi, He Min walked into the main hall slowly. Yongshou Palace used to be the place where He Min lived. Although she was not liked by the emperor before, her identity still destined her to be the highest position in the harem.

The death of Empress Xiaozhao was like a stone thrown into the quiet water, causing waves of ripples. After the calm, the first heavy snow this winter had already covered every corner of the Forbidden City. After all, the vacancy made many concubines think about it.

This doesn't seem to have anything to do with He Min, because of the emperor's attitude, the Yongshou Palace seems to be a forgotten existence, Er Chun only feels worried when faced with such a situation.

He Min's legs were covered with a satin blanket embroidered with bamboo leaves and plum blossoms, and he was lazily leaning on the kang, flipping through books. Drinking, now her stomach looks round, but she doesn't like to walk around on weekdays, He Min looked okay, took out a hand stove with cloisonné enamel flower and bird pattern from under the blanket, stuffed it to Wei Shi, and said with a smile: "Your appetite is very good now."

"I always feel a little hungry." Wei put down the small bowl, and said rather annoyed: "Now my face looks a lot rounder." He said and touched his cheek.

He Min chuckled and said, "Are your cheeks still called round?" He pointed to his own cheeks and said, "Did you see that? I have been chubby since I was a child, but I lost a lot of weight a while ago. But now that I stay in the palace all day, don't I gain some fat again?"

"My empress is fine now." Wei Shi was obviously also very happy. After all, she was relieved to see He Min walking out of the shadow of the empress empress. She looked at He Min's smiling face and said, "I have never I thought, I can still live such a peaceful life in the palace."

He Min smiled indifferently, put down the book in his hand, sat up, and said: "How do you say that, Concubine Tong Gui is busy now!" The words were a little sarcastic, and he laughed, He said again: "With my status and no holy favor, who in this palace would be so heartless as to seek my misfortune?" She blinked her eyes at Wei Shi, and said with a smile: "What's more, now they can still pay me back?" There are more important things to be busy with."

Er Chun stared helplessly, and said: "Only the master is so magnanimous."

"Isn't that good." He Min raised his eyebrows and said with a sneer, "No one else can ask for it."

"The imperial concubine's words are reasonable." Suddenly a chuckle came, He Min subconsciously curled the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Look, who is here." The two girls came in with a smile, she is now a celebrity in the palace, she is a concubine, and she has been favored, so she must have an ordinary little master to make friends with.

Yibi saw the two people leaning on the kang, there were exquisite snacks and fruit plates on the small table, and a hot charcoal bowl was burning in the main hall, it was warm, and she said with a smile: "Look at this leisurely energy, it really makes me happy." I'm envious." After the girl next to her took off the white fox fur waistcoat on her body, she smiled and said, "This plum cake is really pleasing to look at." A small piece is made into a plum blossom, and it looks like a plum blossom. Makes for an appetite.

"Take it yourself and taste it, Er Xia made it with her own hands." He Min joked with a smile, "Today is a blessing."

"Isn't that right?" Yi Pin clapped her hands and said with a smile, "The pastries in Kunning Palace were the best in the palace, even the master of the imperial dining room praised them."

He Min had a smile on his face, and his complexion was rosy, which showed that his complexion was very good. Yibi couldn't help but give a compliment. Both of them have good looks, one has an oval face, the other has an oval face, and both of them have red teeth. Bai, sitting so lazily on the kang, just looking at it makes people feel happy.

People who fall out of favor in the palace are rarely so lenient, but when they think about the identity of the noble concubine Niu Hulu, they don't think it's strange. She doesn't even want to offend such a Niu Hulu concubine What about the imperial concubine, let alone other people?

Tong Jiashi has this intention, but now she claims to be the No.1 concubine, and her eyes are all set on the position of the queen of the palace, so she will not go to find the former queen to raise her personally at this critical moment. My sister's bad luck.

Therefore, taking advantage of Yikun Palace and Yongshou Palace being adjacent, she would come here to have a look from time to time, first to convey some kindness to Concubine Niu Hulu, and second, to take this opportunity to express her heart to the emperor...

What a bunch of idiots, Yipin curled her lips in disdain, Empress Xiaozhao has just passed away, and now she is staring at the position in the middle palace with all her eyes, there is no need to make the emperor angry, if she really wants to seal the harem, there is no reason to do so Without her Guo Luoluo family, there are not many people in the harem who are really high-status. Although Tong Jia is the emperor's cousin, she has already occupied the position of noble concubine. She is the most likely to aspire to the position of the middle palace. It's a pity that Tong Jia's family is not a Manchurian surname, she will have to spend a lot of effort to become the Queen of the Central Palace, and the Empress Dowager who came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning will not allow her to become the Central Palace.

Duan Concubine, An Concubine, and Jing Concubine are all old people in the palace, but they don't have a prince by their side, and now they don't even have a holy favor, but Xi Concubine is still loved by the emperor, and Hui Concubine's elder brother is the emperor. Zhong Zhongchen has a son, and Concubine Rong has a son and a daughter. If concubines are to be concubine, concubines Hui and Concubine Rong are all possible, and Concubine Xi is a little weaker.

Yipin has a flexible mind, and the emperor likes it. After thinking about it, she felt that making friends with the Niu Hulu clan was better for herself, but the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. Rongpin had this idea, but it was not convenient for her in the end.

He Min didn't talk much. Although she was not favored, she lived a good life. She couldn't get past that hurdle before. Slowly, I let go of my mind, everyone will have such a day, the most important thing now is the day in front of me.

Because of this action of the Empress Dowager, everyone in the palace clearly recognized the position of the noble concubine Niu Hulu. She is like a sleeping tiger. Don't bother her, or you will be in a hurry One bite, the pain is still my own.

Yipin told He Min that this comparison was like a joke, which made her giggle and said: "Tiger? Who came up with this nonsense? How can I be like a tiger when I am so weak and slender? .” She boasted rather shamelessly.

Yipin twitched the corner of her mouth, seeing that Wei Shi also had black lines all over her face, the two looked at each other, and both laughed, Yipin even shook the veil and said, "Weak and slender? What do you think?" I believe Sister Wei, even if you kill me, you can’t say such things against your will.”

"Hey? You can't believe what you said." He Min squeezed a plum cake into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Yipin laughed for a while before saying: "Sister Wei is unconscious, I know it." After a while, she looked at Wei Shi and pointed to the whip hanging on the opposite wall, and said: "Look at that, I've heard all about it, the imperial concubine's whip is very good."

He Min cast his eyes over, looking at the familiar whip, he just felt in his heart, has it been so long?At the beginning, she beat Yaliqi with a whip, which caused her elder sister to scold him a lot, and she pestered him, and even sent this whip specially for someone to teach herself, but now that I think about it, something is wrong up.

Seeing her expression, Yipin also knew that she seemed to have said something wrong, and hurriedly wanted to make amends, but He Min laughed and said: "You are older than me, so you don't have to call your concubine or empress all day long. Just call it by name."

Yipin's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "After all, it is the ancestor's rules."

"Don't worry about it, it's okay to shout in private." He Min smiled, she still likes Yipin among the people in the harem, and said: "I once heard from my sister that you were also very good at riding horses before."

"When we were at home before, we were all Manchurian aunts, who wouldn't know this." Yipin already knew He Min's attitude, and said with a smile: "We all grew up on horseback and learned to walk by ourselves. Amma taught me how to ride a horse."

Wei Shi was just eating in small bites, and laughed along with her from time to time, but at this moment, her heart trembled a little, and the smile on her face faded a little. She stared blankly at the cakes on the table, and sighed slightly. Take a breath.

She once heard her brother say that she was carried on a horse by her brothers before she learned to walk. Her childhood was spent on the endless grassland. She has no memory of Eji. , Eji is submissive, and once hugged herself intimately and sang that lullaby in the tent, but she didn't remember Eji.

Wei touched her swollen belly, and shook her head slightly. Since she entered the palace, she has been renamed by the Empress Dowager. She is no longer the Mongolian princess. She is just the daughter of a slave. Zheku servant Wei Shi.
