[Qing] Concubine Wen Xi's Rebirth Handbook

After Shu Shujue Luo Shi left, He Min was silent for a long time, thinking to herself that if she wanted to gain a firm foothold in the harem, she had to be a bed attendant, otherwise she would end up with a bad reputation.

Many people heard what the Empress Dowager said at noon. Her defense obviously put herself in front of the concubines. The draft was the beginning of her control of palace affairs. Although Tong Jia's family is the Han army banner, Tong Guowei is now under the emperor's control. Reuse, Tong Guogang is an official minister, and the Han army with the yellow banner is in charge of the military power. Although Tong Jia is a noble concubine, she is in charge of the harem as a deputy queen. They complement each other, so the Empress Dowager must propose a person to govern the Tong Jia family, and the noble concubine Niu Hulu, who is a famous surname in Manchuria, is naturally the best candidate.

He Min clenched his fist secretly, with a firm look in his eyes, he stood up and said, "Come on, change my clothes for me." What she has to do now is to serve the bed and break the situation where she has no favor. Come, so that she will not fall into the inferior position and lose the opportunity.

The joy in Er Chun's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly called Yi Jing and Yi Qing to come over, saying: "Bring the clothes newly cut this year, let the empress have a look."

He Minlue looked a little helpless, looked at Er Xia on the other side, and said, "You go to the imperial dining room yourself, and let them prepare the meal." After thinking for a while, he said: "Just light ones, Yipin tofu, Sanxian meatballs , pickled vegetables with golden mushrooms, and chicken breast, fragrant hemp venison pie."

"Yijing, put some mignonette cakes and crystal plum blossom buns here." He Min changed her clothes under the service of Yiqing and Erchun, and after giving such instructions, she relaxed a little and said, "Erchun, come Chairman, go and wait outside the gate of Qianqing Palace, the emperor must come to Yongshou Palace today."

Er Chun was stunned for a moment, slightly puzzled, but still nodded, and said, "Your servant will spare you."

Seeing her expression in the mirror, He Min smiled, and said, "Didn't the empress dowager say today that the foundation of the Qing Dynasty is still full of people after all." She has already made a gesture, and Kangxi will not refused.

At nightfall, the news that the emperor had arranged for the Yongshou Palace spread throughout the whole palace.

He Min was wearing a rose-red swastika dress and a set of gold-studded ruby ​​crowns on her head. She was extraordinarily delicate. When she saw Kangxi, she hurriedly put on a smile on her face, squatted down and said: "The courtiers welcome the emperor."

Kangxi's complexion was a little dull, and He Min pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "The emperor hasn't eaten at noon yet." After saying that, he asked people to serve the meal, and He Min saw that his complexion softened a little, smiled slightly, and the palace Most of the dinners in the middle of the night are around the time of Wei, and the emperor is young and strong now, and he has to summon the ministers after the dinner, so he often needs to eat it again around the time of You.

There were only a few simple dishes on the table, but they were light. Kangxi nodded and said, "The imperial concubine has a heart."

"It's a concubine's blessing to be able to work for the emperor." She poured a glass of sake and said with a smile, "This is chrysanthemum liquor, which was brewed by my concubine in Kunning Palace earlier." Under the candlelight, she The red lips curved slightly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you want to taste it?" While speaking, he handed a small glass of wine to Kangxi's mouth.

Putting his hands behind his back, Kangxi leaned back slightly, looked at her with interest and said, "You are really different from your sister."

"Didn't the emperor know it all the time?" He Min saw him dodging the wine glass, and didn't force it. He just smiled lightly, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, and said, "Have you ever seen the concubine in the eyes of the emperor?" What." Although these words were a joke, they were mixed with resentment.

Kangxi frowned, looking at He Min's wet red lips, he felt a little dizzy, took a sip from the wine cup, and said, "The taste is not bad."

"That's natural." He Min looked at him with a smile, and suddenly said: "Does the emperor know what the concubine is talking about today?"

He didn't expect this woman to be so bold, he nodded noncommittally, and said with a smile, "I know a thing or two."

He Min put down the wine glass, rubbed her slender and fair fingers on the collar for a moment, and then undid the small button. She looked at him with tender eyes, and said: "The emperor came to Yongshou Is the palace allowed?"

Kangxi raised his eyebrows subconsciously, and leaned back again, with interest in his eyes, he just looked at her and nodded but didn't speak.

He Min didn't care, waved his hand, and made the palace people retreat. Li Dequan took a sneak peek at Kangxi, saw him nodding, and then bowed and retreated.

After everyone exited the hall, the tenderness on He Min's face seemed to disappear, he untied his clothes fiercely, and said: "If that's the case, then let's start."

"..." Kangxi twitched the corners of his mouth, the contrast was too great, some didn't know how to react, squinted his eyes, and saw the woman took off her clothes, leaving only a pink apron embroidered with bamboo leaves and plum blossoms With his son on his body, he looked at him suspiciously.

He Min looked down at himself, saw that he didn't respond, and was a little discouraged. After a while, he said: "So the emperor really doesn't like me." He blinked and said: "The emperor doesn't mind if I do something Anything else?"

Kangxi only felt that his throat was a little dry, and saw his imperial concubine pull out the plum blossom hairpin from her head, and gestured between her wrists, Kangxi pursed her lips, a little speechless, only to hear He Min say again: "Now everyone knows that I am sleeping, But if there is no red on the white silk scarf, how should I explain it?"

"You don't have to be like this." Kangxi said dryly, he came to Yongshou Palace to let her sleep in his bed... No matter in the court or the harem, the Niu Hulu clan should not be left out in the cold.

He Min was only immersed in her own thoughts at this time. She looked around, but felt that she couldn't do it. After a long while, she said angrily: "How about you help me?" She handed the plum blossom hairpin to Kangxi, stretched She shot and said: "Come on, I thought you would like me." Her eyes were very bright, and she looked at her innocently and clearly.

Kangxi took the plum blossom hairpin from her hand, but put it on the smoked cage beside her, hugged He Min up, and said, "Why bother?"

He Min raised the corners of his mouth slightly, put his hands on his neck, and said: "I think so too." Kangxi chuckled lightly, and put her on the bed.

The candlelight in the distance swayed slightly in the night wind, and the bursts of panting made people blush. Li Dequan shrank his shoulders and leaned against the red pillar outside the hall, feeling his face was burning badly. A good friend, the son emperor's complexion was not very good when he came up to the Yongshou Palace earlier, it has only been a long time, and he has gone to bed, it seems that the harem is not peaceful again.

When the first ray of sunlight shone on the face in the morning, He Min opened his eyes slowly. He was very tired and felt that it was difficult to even get up.

"Your Majesty? Are you awake?" Er Chun's voice was filled with joy, and several palace maids from Yongshou Palace knelt down and kowtowed: "Congratulations, Madam Congratulations, Madam Congratulations."

The corners of He Min's lips curled up, her goal had already been achieved, she was no longer a noble concubine who had a famous boss but never even served her bed.

"You all get up." He Min sat up, changed his clothes under Yijing's service, and heard Erchun say: "My lady, when I got up early, Concubine Tong sent someone to pass the message, and asked my lady to go to Chengqian Palace to give the princess together. Greetings, Empress Dowager."

He Min raised his eyebrows, casually rummaged through the dowry, and said, "Don't pay attention to her, we'll go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning by ourselves." She curled her lips and said, "I think Concubine Tong is used to being awe-inspiring in normal times, I'm afraid It’s because I forgot that this palace and her are both noble concubines.” Yongshou Palace is the closest palace to Compassionate Ning Palace, does she have to go around the East Sixth Palace before going to Compassionate Ning Palace?

"Yes, this slave girl will let someone answer Tong Guifei." Erchun smiled, and then said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yi from Yikun Palace, Concubine An from Changchun Palace, and Concubine Jing from Xianfu Palace are also together. coming."

"Understood." He Min nodded, stood up, and said, "Where's Sister Wei."

"Master Wei is already waiting outside the hall." Er Chun took care of Long Hua on He Min's neck, and said, "Master Wei brought Elder Brother over, and they are chatting around."

He Min sighed softly, looking at the slightly immature cheeks in the mirror, she has entered the palace, just like the last life, she just wants to live this life quietly, but sometimes, things are not as she expected She became a concubine a year earlier than in her previous life, and now she is a pawn for the empress dowager to control Tong Jia's family. What power brings is not only honor, but more likely to be random. the danger that comes with it.

After coming out of the inner hall, Yipin and the others stood up, and according to the rules, gave a big gift to the noble concubine.

He Min smiled and said: "Let's all sit down." She scanned her eyes, and there were not many people coming to Yongshou Palace. During the time of Yongshou Palace, the olive branch had already been delivered, and nobleman Xiao Guo Luoluo naturally followed Yibi, and it was all within He Min's expectation.

"We are here today to congratulate the empress." Yipin glanced at Concubine An Jingjing, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, the royal driver drove to the Yongshou Palace, and our sisters are all happy for the empress."

Sitting on the lower seat, Wei Shi held the eighth elder brother in her arms. Hearing this, she laughed and said: "Master Yi, what you said is good. Yu Jia is driving Yongshou Palace. I want to come to the nearest palace. It’s time for many rumors to dissipate.”

Er Xia led the palace people to serve Yipin and the others stewed bird's nest with rock sugar, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty prepared breakfast, and the masters should also use some."

Yipin joked: "But Er Xia made it by himself?" She said with a smile: "I came here specifically for Er Xia's craftsmanship."

Er Xia said with a smile: "Of course it is, you can taste it, but it still satisfies your appetite."

He Min didn't care, and said with a smile: "If you're greedy, just come here, I'll let Er Xia cook it for you." After everyone finished eating, He Min heard Yiqing say that Concubine Tong Gui had already left. Then he led everyone towards the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

She can't come too early or late than Concubine Tong, that's why she deliberately draws people's attention to the movements of Chengqian Palace.

When he came to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, the Empress Dowager had just got up, and the Empress Dowager was talking with him in front of him. The fifth elder brother was hugged by the nanny and stood beside the Empress Dowager. He Min could clearly feel Yipin's shining Eyes, the fifth elder brother was carried into the Shouan Palace since he was born, and was raised by the empress dowager.

He Min accompanied the Empress Dowager to talk for a while, and Concubine Tong arrived with the other concubines. He Min looked at Concubine Tong's angry eyes, his pupils flashed, but he only looked at it with a smile. That said, she didn't have to get up to greet her. After Yipin and the others stood up and saluted, everyone greeted the ancestors according to the rules.

The Empress Dowager smiled and waved her hands and said, "Get up, you don't need to wait on me on weekdays. I'm older, but I like to be quieter."

"The old ancestor is so old, but he still looks so tough." Tong Jia praised with a smile: "I really envy you." She covered it with a handkerchief and coughed slightly, between her brows Slightly frowning, arousing love and affection.

"Concubine Tong is not feeling well?" The Empress Dowager looked at her suspiciously, touched the floor tiles with the dragon stick in her hand, and said, "I just took a closer look, and you are not as healthy as Miss Min."

He Min smiled slightly, took a candied fruit from the fruit plate, stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Old Ancestor, Sister Tong has a slender body, how can this rough-skinned and rough-skinned servant compare with my sister."

Tong Jia's complexion was a little blue, but she couldn't help coughing, looking at He Min as if she wanted to tear her apart.
