[Qing] Concubine Wen Xi's Rebirth Handbook

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes, looked at the woman in a light-colored palace dress standing behind Tong Jia, and sighed: "Concubine De, brother six is ​​gone, I know you are very sad, but you also have to pay attention to yourself." A tall body is a good thing." She didn't like this soft and weak look.

"Yes, this servant respectfully obeys the teachings of the Empress Dowager." Due to the death of the sixth elder brother, she was bedridden for a long time, and her complexion looked a bit unwell.

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "It's good that you understand it in your heart." She didn't like this woman, but felt that there were too many secrets hidden in those eyes. It was because of her mother-in-law. After that wind and cold, Sixth Brother's health was up and down, but the emperor doted on her, and she herself looked ashamed and wished to die. At that time, because of Wei's The reason is that this woman was allowed to stay by Xuan Ye's side.

He Min lowered his eyes and drank slowly with osmanthus dew, but Tong Jiashi tilted his head slightly, covered the corner of his mouth with a teacup, and said softly: "Even if you are sleeping, you are still better than me." But this woman."

"Really." He Min raised his eyebrows noncommittally, looked at Tong Jiashi and said with a smile, "I didn't intend to compare with her either." There is no comparability between them at all.

Tong Jiashi snorted, gritted her teeth and said, "You look down on her?" He raised the corners of his eyes high, and hummed softly, "You will pay for your attitude." Her eyes never left her eyes during the speech Debi said again: "Aren't you indifferent to Xiangsui's provocation?"

"Xiang Sui is yours?" He Min didn't know what to say, looked at her in disbelief, and said, "I really doubt how you survived in this palace." Using Xiang Sui to come Sow discord between the two palaces?

"You!" Tong Jiashi gritted her teeth resentfully, and said, "I remind you kindly, but you are so ignorant."

"Didn't you always look down on me?" He Min put down the small bowl, stretched some wrinkled sleeves, and said: "De concubine is a person from your palace, but now the emperor loves her more, you are not angry gone?"

Tong Jiashi swallowed the bitterness in her heart, and the anger in her eyes became more intense, but she held it back and said, "It's none of your business."

He Min curled his lips and ignored her, his slender eyebrows moved slightly, and then he said softly: "Look at your messy appearance now, I just want to remind you."

"..." Tong Jiashi forcefully endured her ridicule, and raised her eyes in doubt.

He Min secretly sighed, it must be difficult for Tong Jiashi to come to Tong Jia during this period of time, otherwise she would not be able to endure her ridicule. She is just showing off, but she has the capital to show off, so she can't say much Bad, how scheming, but the Empress Dowager cannot tolerate too much power from the Tong family, and He Min is the other end of the check and balance, so she must not accept Tong Jia's overtures.

"The sixth elder brother is gone..." He Min said this slowly, then turned his head to look into her eyes, and said, "If you continue to be on guard against the fourth elder brother because of this unformed piece of meat in your stomach ..." She turned her head, closed her eyes slightly, and said: "Then you will push the fourth elder brother back to Debi's side with your own hands."

Tong Jiashi subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch his stomach, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at the fourth elder brother in the distance in a daze. The little child stood silently by the side of the small table, not moving Dim sum, those black eyeballs were a little bit sad, the third elder brother next to him was smiling all over his face, and he was reaching out and grabbing a golden horn and stuffing it in his mouth, chewing sweetly, the child was growing up, and she herself I feel hungry, let alone a child over three years old.

The Empress Dowager glanced in her direction, He Min raised a smile, and said: "Old Ancestor, this servant sees Third Elder Brother eating happily, so I can't help but think of Eighth Elder Brother. Soft into a ball, looking at the little baby every day, I feel that there is nothing to worry about."

"Isn't it?" The Empress Dowager laughed and said, "On weekdays, I feel happy when I look at Fifth Brother's little man."

Yipin could understand Mongolian, and said with a smile, "Fifth Prince is lucky to be able to accompany the Queen Mother in Shou'an Palace."

The empress dowager said with a smile: "Isn't that right? Since the fifth elder brother was in Shou'an Palace, the queen mother always said excitedly when she saw me, Xiao Wu has teeth today, Xiao Wu can talk, Xiao Wu today My son peed his pants..." He laughed loudly and said, "I can hear calluses, but she still enjoys it."

The queen mother didn't care, and said with a smile: "I just said that the ancestors are envious of me."

The empress dowager twitched the corners of her lips for the first time, her face became more and more helpless, which made the concubines laugh out loud, and He Min also laughed and said, "Only by raising a child myself can I know the hardships involved. and happiness."

Lagu Su Ma said happily: "It seems that the eighth elder brother is particularly pleased with the imperial concubine and empress."

"That's it!" He Min raised his chin proudly, and said, "I've already made up my mind. When my elder brother can walk, I will teach him how to ride a horse!"

"Do you still need to teach me?" The Empress Dowager smiled and nodded at her from a distance, and said, "Just sit there and watch, and I'm sure you will teach a brother who is good at bow and horse."

"Oh, wouldn't it be a pity for my superb riding skills?" He Min said pretending to be annoyed, "I still want to teach the eighth elder brother in the future."

"Speaking of which, sister Yi's riding skills are also pretty good." Rong Bin said with a smile, her voice was soft and gentle, very soothing, like a breeze blowing on her face, quite comfortable.

Concubine Yi clapped her hands and said with a smile: "It's far worse than the imperial concubine." She said cheerfully: "The riding skills of the empress before the imperial concubine beat Master Cao, the imperial guard."

Aunt Su Ma nodded with a smile and said, "I was lucky to witness that race." She looked at He Min with crooked eyes and said, "The imperial concubine's riding skills are really superb, but if you talk about it, it's still the old ancestors. His riding skills are even better."

"Su Ma will flatter me." The Empress Dowager scolded, and said with a smile, "It all happened when I was young."

"The Empress Dowager grew up in the Horqin Grassland, so her riding skills are naturally superb." Tong Jia said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter if you don't mention it." The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said, "It's rare for a girl from Mongolia to know how to ride and shoot."

When Kangxi came, everyone was laughing and making noises. After seeing the ceremony, they raised their eyebrows and said with a smile: "Old ancestor, what are you talking about? You are so happy."

Tong Jiashi wanted to say something, but she just glanced at He Min, and kept her mouth shut, only to hear the Empress Dowager laughing, "It's too early for your Majesty to come down to court today."

"Hehe, it's not that I'm early, it's that the ancestors forgot the time." Kangxi said with a smile: "Grandson just happened to catch up."

"I'm talking about the horse race between Min girl and Cao Yin." The Empress Dowager said with a smile on her face, "This girl's riding skills were taught by the empress earlier, she is really good."

Kangxi's eyes stayed on He Min's face for a moment, and then said: "I have seen the queen's riding skills before, but it was abandoned later."

The Empress Dowager nodded, then looked at Kangxi and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't intend to interfere with the affairs of the harem. Since everyone is here today, the middle palace has been vacant for a long time..." She said this At that time, from the corner of his eye, he was watching Tong Jiashi. Ever since Empress Niu Hulu left, the news that Tong Jiashi had entered the Central Palace had never stopped.

He Min droops his eyes, just does not know.

Kangxi naturally knew about the rumors in the palace. Hearing the empress dowager's question at this time, he also knew what she meant. My heart hurts, and I don't want to stand in the middle palace again." As he spoke, he glanced at Tong Jiashi, then at He Min and said, "There is an empty seat in the middle palace, the two imperial concubines will be in charge of palace affairs together, let's leave this as it is."

The Empress Dowager nodded with a smile, she seemed very satisfied, and said: "It's enough for the emperor to make up his mind." She asked a few elder brothers again, and it happened that Li Dequan came to report that Mr. Suo'etu asked to see, Kangxi also resigned, and after Kangxi left, the Empress Dowager waved her hand and said, "You all should leave too."

Everyone got up and saluted, and left the Compassionate Ning Palace.

There was no expression on He Min's face, he just frowned slightly, sighed slightly, and when he returned to Yongshou Palace, he fell down on the soft couch without saying a word.

She pinched her forehead with a slight headache, feeling very irritable.

"Mother, Wanrong is here." Xiao Luzi came in at this moment, and reported, He Min's eyes lit up, and said: "Let Wanrong come in." Someone had already sent word yesterday that Xuan Wanrong had entered the palace.

He Min leaned on the round pillow, Er Chun waited on her side, this was the first time she saw Wan Rong who was often talked about by the empress on weekdays, when the little girl walked in, she couldn't help admiring He made a good appearance, smiled and greeted him, and said, "Greetings to Princess."

Wanrong hurriedly returned a salute, and said: "You are very polite, aunt." Erchun smiled and said: "Please, please, my lady has been waiting for a long time."

Wan Rong pursed her lips and smiled, and followed Er Chun into the inner hall, when He Min saw her, she quickly got up and said, "Wan Rong, come quickly."

"Sister!" Wanrong smiled, walked quickly a few steps, and said, "Is sister okay in the palace?" Then she laughed, and said: "It must be good, a temperament like sister is not good. I will feel wronged myself."

"Wanrong still knows me." He Min smiled and took her hand, and asked, "How is Er Niang?"

"Well, Er Niang heard that my sister was in bed, and she was so happy that she cried." Wanrong nodded, wrinkled the tip of her small nose, and said secretly: "E Niang specially told me not to tell my sister."

"Little ghost head!" He Min nodded her nose, looked at Wanrong with emotion and said, "You are a big girl now." She still remembered the well-behaved little girl who talked to her by herself a few years ago At the time, I was still surprised and my eyes widened in a ignorant look.

Wan Rong's face turned red, but she lowered her head, He Min raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Emiang told you?"

"Well, I said it." Wan Rong nodded, but did not speak.

"Then what do you think?" He Min teasingly tugged her cheek and said, "Wan Rong is a talented woman, so naturally she should be the one with the best knowledge."

Wanrong looked at He Min, and said seriously: "Will sister really help Wanrong?"

"Naturally." Looking at Wanrong's appearance, He Min knew that she had her own thoughts. She always knew in her heart what was best for her, and she was a woman with a clear mind.

"Sister, do you know about Jinke Tanhualang?" Wanrong turned her head, her cheeks were slightly red, but her tone was unhesitating, and she said, "I went to see the day when the top three in Jinke crossed the street." She paused , He Min signaled her to continue, and then summoned up the courage to say: "Tanhualang's name is Li Xi, style name is Yunchang, Han nationality, his ancestral home is Jinling, his family passed down the fragrance of books, but the family fortune declined in his grandfather's generation. .”

He Min didn't speak, and only heard Wanrong continue to say: "Marriage has been ordered by parents since ancient times, and Wanrong was not allowed to talk." This gave Wanrong a chance to see herself."

"Have you taken a fancy to Li Xi?" He Min put the melon seeds on the plate, and then said with a smile: "Brother disagrees?"

"Yes." Wanrong's expression was a little gloomy, and she said: "Brother thinks that Li Xi's family is poor, so he is not a good son-in-law."

"You don't think so?" He Min already understood, only to hear Wanrong say again: "Yes, don't bully the young man to be poor, this is not a reason, Li Xi's ability to be a high school student in adversity can also prove that this son Talented." She lowered her head slightly, and said, "Wanrong has also heard that Li Xi's Fu has also been praised by Mr. Nalan."

The smile at the corner of He Min's mouth slowly retracted, she looked at Wanrong's flushed cheeks in a daze, Nalan Rongruo.

"Does Wan Rong think he is a good man?" He Min asked again: "Do you really not care about his poor family?"

"Yes, Wanrong doesn't care." Wanrong raised her head and said firmly, "Wanrong only wants the promise of being a couple for life, and the feeling that the heads will never be apart."

"But can he give you such affection." He Min was puzzled, and said softly: "Can you guarantee that she will never take a concubine?"

Wanrong was silent for a long time, and after a while, she shook her head slightly bitterly and said: "No, I can't." She said, "But I am Si Gege from Niu Hulu's mansion, his status is not comparable to mine, if he wants to If you want to take a concubine, it must depend on the attitude of the family."

He Min lowered his eyes and did not speak, and said after a while: "My opinion is the same as that of my brother." Seeing Wanrong's discouraged look, He Min smiled and said: "I think my brother has already explained it to you very clearly. gone."

"But it's not like I can't bear hardships." Wanrong frowned suspiciously.

"Have you really decided?" He Min asked again: "If the future is not what you imagined, don't you regret it?" He Min looked at her and said cautiously: "As far as I know, she My mother is very powerful, she was just a little business girl, and she doesn't have much culture."

"Isn't she worthy of admiration?" Wanrong tilted her head and said, "It's not easy for her to raise three children alone, but even so, she can support Li Xi as a Tanhualang. I admire such a person Girl." Wanrong took a deep breath and said, "Sister, I don't regret it, this is a marriage that Wanrong chose, and I won't regret it."

He Min walked two steps, looked sideways at Wan Rong's firm appearance, feeling a little powerless in his heart, why?My sister is like this, so is my sister?

"Okay, I promise you." He Min wants to see if the relationship she longs for can really develop as she expected, "Wan Rong, you know the situation in Li Xi's family, his mother is illiterate, he His two elder sisters are also vulgar people, although he is talented, his family is really poor."

"Wanrong, thank you sister for fulfilling everything." Wanrong said directly.

He Min nodded, sat beside Wanrong, sighed slightly, and said, "Sister will help you, I just hope you won't regret the choice you made today."

"No." Wanrong laughed, her big eyes were bent into a crescent moon, which was extraordinarily beautiful.

"Sister wants you here, and there is one more thing." He Min stroked her hair, sighed softly and said, "There is one thing, please give it to Mrs. Nalan Guanshi." He took out one Yingluo has some whitish jade pendants, which may appear sleek due to carrying them for a long time.

"Wanrong, no one can tell, no one can tell." He Min looked at her seriously, and said softly: "Just give it to Guan Shi, tell her, this can satisfy her wish."

Wanrong didn't ask any more questions, but just nodded and said, "Sister, don't worry, what should Wanrong do."

He Min nodded, and then said with a smile: "You haven't seen the eighth elder brother yet." After saying that, he asked Erchun to hug the eighth elder brother and said: "Now he is chubby, with small hands and feet. It's so cute."

Wanrong's eyes lit up, and she said: "Can I really see Brother Eight?" She said rather pleasantly: "I heard Er Niang praise Brother Eight earlier."

When Erchun carried the eighth elder brother to him, he said with a smile: "Little master just woke up, look at these eyes, they are still rolling around."

He Min quickly took off the armor on his hand, stretched out his hand to take it from Er Chun, and said with a smile: "Come on, let Er Niang have a look, has Mammy fed Xiao Ba?"

"Yes, I have already fed it." Er Chun said with a smile.

He Min picked up the little guy, Wanrong came close to her, widened her eyes, and said, "It's so cute." He Min handed the little guy's hand over, and said, "Come on, pet it, it's very fun. "

"..." Wan Rong twitched the corners of her mouth, how could this child be described as fun.

"Come on, hug and watch." He Min looked at her and said with a smile.

Wan Rong's eyes widened, looking at He Min's smiling gaze, her eyes were sore, tears almost flowed out, she knew that it was her sister who trusted her, that's why she hugged Eighth Prince.

Wanrong's arm holding the eighth elder brother was a little stiff, she said with a bitter face: "It's so soft."

He Min looked at her crying expression, couldn't straighten up laughing, and after a while, Wan Rong's eyes widened slightly weirdly.

"What's the matter?" He Min turned his head in wonder, seeing her puzzled expression, but Er Chun said with a smile: "It's probably peeing..." As he said that, he walked over quickly and took Eighth Brother Picking it up, he opened the diaper that was wrapped around his butt, and said with a smile, "Perhaps he drank it just now, so he pissed."

He Min looked at the wet patch on Wanrong's front, burst out laughing, and said, "Yijing, go take Wanrong to change clothes." He looked at the commotion with great joy, and the irritability in his heart slowly dissipated. Sometimes life is so simple, the more you worry, the less you know what to do with yourself.
