[Qing] Empress Xiao Chengren Reborn

Zhujin is now sixteen years old, and she is no longer the little girl she used to be who didn't care about anything just to get enough sleep, not to mention that the harem today is not as good as the harem when she was just married to Xuan Ye, when there were fewer people, She can still be lazy, now that the number of people in the harem is increasing day by day, and things are becoming more and more important every day, it is impossible for her to be lazy and sleep late, and with Cheng Hu by her side, she can't be sloppy at all. .

Now, she can get up by herself without several personal attendants surrounding the bed to call her.

There are more and more concubines in the harem. She has changed the rules since the seventh year of Kangxi. In the past, the concubines came to greet her every five days, but now they have to come to her every day to check in and report, so use After breakfast, she went to the main hall to meet Xuanye's concubine for routine business.

After greetings, everyone dispersed, and went to Ulanqige to stay and play with Chenghu for a while, and then Zhang Lu led Chenghu to Zhaoxiang's place to play with Da Gege and Big Elder Brother, Ulan Only after Qi Qige left, Zhu Jin had some free time.

Her history record has already been written, and now she is recalling some content of world history in her mind. What she thinks in her heart is to write as much as she can remember. After thinking about it for a few days, the structure has taken shape, so there is no rush When I started writing, I sat in front of the window pane and looked at the sycamore trees sprouting in the palace courtyard, without saying a word for a long time.

Grandma Long saw that she didn't write as usual, but stared at the trees outside in a daze, so she came forward and said, "It's spring now, and the scenery in the Royal Garden is still pretty good, although there are no flowers to see, but the eyes are full of hair." A tree with green shoots is not bad, how about I accompany the master to the imperial garden? It also saves the master from sitting here staring at a tree in a daze."

"What's so interesting about the Royal Garden! It's so small, and you can walk there for a quarter of an hour. If I don't go, I'll know what it looks like now!"

The Royal Garden is not far from her, just behind the Kunning Palace, just past Youyizhai, in fact, such a small garden is definitely not as good as seen in modern TV dramas, Xiu Xiu is small and charming, but it’s only been a long time After seeing too much, I don’t feel much. Relatively speaking, there are very few concubines coming to this imperial garden, because this imperial garden is too close to her Kunning Palace, it is almost the back garden of her Kunning Palace. The concubine she was not close to, no one would come over, not to mention the concubine was fine, so she was not allowed to wander around in the palace.

Even Xuan Ye doesn't like to go to the imperial garden, let alone the scene where the concubine meets the emperor by chance. If Xuan Ye gets tired of staying in the palace, he will go to Jingshan to play, or just run away. A little farther away, go to Nanyuan for horseback riding and hunting. This imperial garden is really just a decoration there.

"It's been two days since I visited the Empress Dowager, you and I can go to the Ci Ning Palace to see the Empress Dowager."

Xiaozhuang is getting old, and it is a bit cold after the New Year's Eve, and the spring blooms later, so Xiaozhuang suffered from a slight wind and cold, and some headaches and brain fever. He had been recuperating and had no serious illness. In February Dong gave birth to the second daughter of the emperor, she is a pink and tender little girl, although she is not an elder brother, but Xiaozhuang also likes this child very much, Xuan Ye named Er Gege Urgon.

There was another princess in the palace, Xiaozhuang was happy, he led the concubine and several great-grandchildren to play around for a day, and then dispersed after lighting the lamps, and drank some cold wine, but the wind and cold returned, and it is now March Zhujin came to see it two days ago. When Xiaozhuang was seriously ill, Zhujin came to see it three times a day. Now the imperial doctor said that Xiaozhuang needed rest, so he didn’t go to see him every day. When I come here every day, I only come to see it every two days, and talk with Xiaozhuang.

Now Xiaozhuang basically does not take care of things in the harem. In the past, greetings were once every five days. After the emperor got rid of Oboi, it was changed to once every ten days. The person who came to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, Xiaozhuang himself really liked to see someone come to pay respects to her. Everyone in the harem can grasp this mentality, but some people who do not have enough status want to I can't keep up with flattery.

When Zhu Jin didn't bring the concubine Hegong to pay respects to Xiaozhuang, the only people in the palace who could come to pay respects to Xiaozhuang alone were Concubine Tong, Concubine Niuhulu and Concubine Lan.

When Zhu Jin brought Nanny Long and the eunuchs to the gate of the Palace of Compassion, they happened to meet Tong Jiayurong who came out of the Palace of Compassion. Both parties were not surprised. Zhu Jin just stood where she was, and Tong Jiayurong walked away with a smile on her face. Go to her and salute her: "The concubine pays her respects to the empress dowager, will the empress also come to greet the empress dowager?"

Zhujin raised her hand and shouted, and said with a smile: "Yes, I am thinking about the Empress Dowager's body, and I want to see if the Empress Dowager's cold is all right? I remember when I came here two days ago, I saw that the empress The spirit of the Empress Dowager is still good, I wonder if Concubine Tong looked at the Empress Dowager first, how does the Empress Dowager feel today?"

Looking at the standard smile on Concubine Tong's face that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, Zhu Jin really doesn't understand, is this her image in front of everyone?Seeing that Tong Jia's smile is not a bit sincere, at least she smiles with a bit of sincerity when she smiles to others, so it's not like this superficial smile!

Concubine Tong still smiled like that: "I think the Empress Dowager should be fine."

Zhu Jin couldn't bear to talk nonsense with Concubine Tong in front of the palace gate, so she said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then I will go in and have a look by myself."

After finishing speaking, she walked towards the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Tong Jia Yurong said a word to send the empress to the empress, stood where she was and watched Zhu Jin in with meaningful eyes, then turned and left.

Zhu Jin entered the palace, saluted and greeted Xiao Zhuang, got up and took a look, Xiao Zhuang was indeed in good spirits as Tong Jia Yurong said, Zhu Jin smiled and said: "My son is thinking about the emperor's grandmother, so I came to see you specially. Grandmother, seeing that Grandmother is recovering now, I feel at ease."

She signaled Nanny Long to show Xiaozhuang what she had brought, and then said: "I don't have anything good to offer to the imperial grandmother, this is a tonic that I found from the storeroom, and I specially brought it here for the imperial grandmother to boil." For porridge, I have asked the imperial doctor, these are all edible, and they are also very good for the emperor's grandmother's health."

Most of the pearl brocades brought were things like Tianshan snow lotus and thousand-year-old ginseng, which she didn't need herself, but they were excellent for Xiaozhuang, so she brought them all.

Aunt Su Ma came over to have a look, and knew that these were good things, so she ordered the maid to take them, and then smiled at Zhujin, "Thank you, Empress, for your kind heart."

Turning around and smiling at Xiaozhuang: "Look at the old ancestor, the slaves said that the empress is the one who cherishes the old ancestor the most."

"Yeah, Jin'er treats me very well,"

Xiaozhuang laughed, and glanced at the things sent by the pearl brocade. She had seen many good things in her life, but she also felt that the pearl brocade was indeed a treasure. She thought of the ones sent by Concubine Tong before. Okay, but when compared with the one sent by the queen, it will be compared, but when thinking of Concubine Tong, Xiao Zhuang remembered what Concubine Tong had just said to her, so he couldn't help squinting his eyes to take a closer look. Zhu Jin's complexion, and then said, "Jin'er's complexion doesn't look very good, but I'm tired of taking care of my second elder brother recently? According to me, the emperor is too lacking in consideration. How can he treat the second elder brother?" Throw it in Kunning Palace for you to raise? Not to mention that our ancestral system does not have such rules, but the second elder brother is with you. When you are busy with him every day, how can you spare time to take care of and serve the emperor? ?”

Xiaozhuang did not agree with Xuanye asking Zhujin to raise the second elder brother himself. The family law of the ancestors never allowed concubines to raise children by themselves, not to mention when they were outside the customs. Since then, his children have never been raised in front of his mother-in-law. Even Xuan Ye, Tong Jia's back then, has never been raised for a day.

From Xiao Zhuang's point of view, Xuan Ye was so kind to Zhu Jin that he even made an exception when it shouldn't be.

In fact, since the brocade entered the palace, she saw it fine for the first one or two years, but gradually realized something was wrong this year. The brocade had nothing to say to Xuan Ye, and Xuan Ye treated the brocade well, but However, Xiaozhuang felt that Zhujin was no longer of one mind with him. Although the empress had nothing wrong with being one-hearted, Zhujin no longer favored himself, and no longer helped him take care of the emperor as his representative. He was very dissatisfied, and more importantly, Zhu Jin was too favored in front of Xuan Ye, which made Xiao Zhuang feel a little uncomfortable.

Just now when Concubine Tong came over, she also talked about this matter with her, saying that the queen took the second elder brother to get along with the emperor all day long, and said how could she serve the emperor well like this?Although Concubine Tong is a family chatter, Xiao Zhuang can still see through Concubine Tong's provocative intentions, but Xiao Zhuang did not say anything wrong with Concubine Tong, but asked Concubine Tong the reason for this in detail. In her opinion, Concubine Tong Concubine Tong is very reasonable. She has always been optimistic about Concubine Tong. Concubine Tong is quite knowledgeable, and from this point of view, no matter what Concubine Tong's intentions are, she has one heart with her.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhuang said again: "When I met you at the Huguo Temple, you told me and Aunt Su Ma that if you did not do well in the palace, let me teach you. You have always done it before. It’s a good job, but it’s not done well, and now I should teach you.”

Without waiting for Zhujin to answer, Xiaozhuang said: "You are the queen, not the daughter-in-law of ordinary people, and the emperor is not your husband. He is your heaven, and he is also the son of heaven, so you can only be the land, and you should always look up to me." Look at him, you are also his subject. So you should not pull the emperor to live with you as an ordinary couple, and you should not use the second elder brother to compete with him. You are the queen, what you should do is to command the harem , and then work with the concubines to serve the emperor and reproduce. You don’t need to worry about anything else. The second elder brother has people who serve him, so you don’t have to do it yourself. I don’t care how the emperor is in your Kunning Palace, but I don't allow any gossip in the palace, you are the queen, you should set an example for the concubines, and you should persuade the emperor to share the rain and dew, not to occupy the emperor alone."

What Xiaozhuang said was very serious, and the word "teaching" was used, that is, he was teaching Zhujin as the empress dowager. Zhujin could not refute, let alone sit down. She immediately got up and knelt down Respectfully said: "The concubine would like to listen to the empress dowager's training."

But in my heart I wondered, maybe Tong Jiayurong said something in front of Xiaozhuang?Thinking of Tong Jiayurong's smile just now, Zhu Jin gritted her teeth, it must be what Tong Jiayurong said in front of Xiaozhuang, otherwise Xiaozhuang wouldn't be so dissatisfied with her!
