biography

Concubine Hua Gui was in the high seat, and she would just say some routines admonishing the virtues of the six palace ladies, Yinhu didn't care to listen at all.

While everyone was tremblingly accompanying Concubine Hua to distribute Xiang Luan, Yinhu's gaze remained on the dagger.

This knife was half a foot longer than ordinary fruit knives, and the silver scabbard was a bit black, but the black coral the size of a kidney bean embedded in the middle of the sheath was recognized by Yinhu at a glance.

Thinking back to the previous life, the 46th year of Kangxi was the year when the eight princes showed their glory.And this black coral silver short knife was a congratulatory gift from the ninth brother on Yinhu's 26th birthday this year.

In the past years, the exquisite objects sent by the younger brothers are countless, and gradually the old nine loves to focus on some rare things.This short knife is an example. Although it looks very inconspicuous from a distance, this black coral was obtained from the warm waters at the southernmost tip of Taiwan Island.Yinhu loves such an elegant and simple short knife so much that he will keep it by his side for many years to come.

In that year, it can be said that the eighth elder brother was the happiest time.However, in the new year, the crown prince was abolished. Since then, Yinhu's situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and it is irreversible.

Until the fourth year of Yongzheng's confinement in the clan's mansion, there were few criminals around him, only a few personal belongings were left to accompany him, and this short knife only had its scabbard left, accompanying Yinhu to his last breath.

Therefore, when Yinhu caught a glimpse of the dagger from a distance, he immediately recognized it.It's just that I never thought that this knife would appear here in this life.

Yinzhen thought about it for a second, the Yikun Palace was the palace of the ninth younger brother's mother and concubine Yifei, so it's not very strange that this knife appeared here.

Because of thinking about countless things, this afternoon, Yinhu passed by in such a daze, not remembering what Concubine Hua Gui said at all.

It was already evening when we returned to Chuxiu Palace, Yinhu only had a cup of white fungus and red dates soup for dinner, and went back to the room to lie down.In mid-autumn, the weather was so hot, and after sitting stiffly in Yikun Palace for a long time, Yinhu felt that his waist was about to break.

Fang Ruo wanted to order Biyue to invite the imperial physician to take a look, but Yinhu stopped her.After all, the emperor and empress are not here, and in the harem, the noble concubine Hua is the only one, and Chuxiu Palace can't make trouble at this moment.

That night, Yinhu slept very restlessly.Most of the time, he was thinking about the short knife, and when thinking of the knife, he naturally thought of the ninth brother who was far away in the northwest. This floating heart couldn't let go, and finally stayed until dawn.

Without the emperor's care, Fang Ruo had to wake up his master early, so as not to give anyone an excuse.

When Biyun was by Yinhu's side early in the morning, seeing his master pressing his temples frequently, he had no choice but to comfort him, "Master, bear with it for a few more days, the emperor said that this trip will last up to ten days, and it will pass in a blink of an eye."

Yinhu also knows that this is an extraordinary period, and I am afraid that Concubine Hua Gui will come to announce it as usual today, and she is thinking about how to refuse.Anyway, the emperor made it clear before leaving, ordering himself to go out of the palace less.Now Concubine Wan is the culprit in Nian's eyes, even if she claims to be sick, she probably won't cause too much trouble.

Just thinking about this, Fang Ruo came in from the outside, she glanced at Biyun, Biyun obediently went out and closed the door in the open room.

"Master, the Shoukang Palace said that the Empress Dowager was ill, and just now issued a decree ordering the wives of Fujin in each palace to attend to the illness in turn." Fang Ruo knew that the master paid the most attention to the movement in the palace, so he came to report the news as soon as he got the news, " I heard that several princes and county kings were also recruited into the palace to attend to the sick."

After hearing this, Yinhu regained some energy, and asked carefully, "Who is entering the palace today?"

"It's Prince Yi, who has just entered Shoukang Palace." Fang Ruo and Aunt Zhuxi of Shoukang Palace have been friends for a long time, so they are very clear about where this person is sent.

"Oh, it's him." Yinhu leaned back on the pillow again, and the thirteenth brother who was hung up by the fourth child naturally had nothing to look forward to.Even if the person entering the palace today is King Dunjun, it would be difficult for Yinhu to meet him as a concubine at the moment.But as soon as the emperor left the palace, the empress dowager suddenly fell ill, and took turns recruiting Prince Fujin to serve the sick. The timing was a bit strange. Could it be that the tenth brother had already contacted the fourteenth, and this was the beginning of action?

Yinhu felt that it was possible, but at the moment, he could only recharge his energy and wait for the news from them.

No success in business, but trifles came to him one after another.Before lunch, Songzhi from Yikun Palace came.

Don't look at Song Zhi who is soft-spoken in front of Concubine Hua on weekdays, but she is full of airs when she is with other concubines.Yinhu understood that Concubine Hua ordered this confidant to invite her, and it seemed that she valued Chuxiu Palace quite a lot.

But Yinhu was really sick and sick, so he sent her away, but heard Songzhi say, "Miss Lian concubine looks much better today, our imperial concubine would like to invite her to have a meal together."

Ever since he was promoted to the rank of concubine, Yinhu felt sick when he heard the word "empress", so he said politely, "I appreciate the kindness of the imperial concubine, but I am very tired today. If you commit an illness again, you really dare not offend the imperial concubine."

Songzhi smiled when she heard it, as if she expected it, but she didn't leave, and waved a maid outside to come in with a wooden box, and said, "This is a gift from the imperial concubine to the empress."

No idea, what gift to give, Yinhu and Fang Ruo looked at each other, then Fang Ruo went over and took the wooden box, opened it in front of Yinhu's eyes, the black coral dagger from yesterday was lying quietly in the box at this moment middle.

Fang Ruo just couldn't understand why Yikun Palace sent this half-new and not old fruit knife, but unexpectedly, Yinhu buckled the wooden box and smiled at Songzhi, "For me Thank you, Empress Dowager."

Song Zhi bent down and continued, "The imperial concubine told me that the concubine Lian's body is precious, if she is not feeling well, then she doesn't have to have lunch under the sun, and it's not too late to come to Yikun Palace for tea after the lunch break."

Yinhu nodded calmly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, concubine, concubine, I will definitely bring tea to thank you in the afternoon."

After hearing this sentence, Songzhi smiled and leaned down again, then turned and left Chuxiu Palace.

Seeing the outsider come out of the palace gate, Biyun pouted and muttered, "Send me a broken fruit knife, what can I thank you for?"

Although Fang Ruo felt that Biyun's words were too harsh, but after all, he also had the same thought in his heart. In the past, the master never liked these rewards, so why did he accept Concubine Hua's kindness after seeing such a knife.

Yinhu didn't want to explain further, but went back to the bedroom with the wooden box in his hands.When I stroked this black coral with my fingertips again, it seemed as if the glorious years of the past were lingering in front of my eyes again, as if my old relatives were standing before my eyes.

Pull out the scabbard slowly, inside is only the wide blade that has not been sharpened.This is no wonder, after all, it is a deep palace inner courtyard, where there is no room for a sharp knife.And in this life, this treasured knife that has spent time wrongly is just like the beauties in the harem, youthful and handsome, with no use for it, it can only be used for chopping melons and vegetables.

In Fang Ruo's eyes, today's master seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, and he was reluctant to put down the knife even when he was having lunch.But from Biyun's point of view, he felt that since the master entered the palace, it was like a different person.

The former big Gege of the Guerjia family was weak and sickly, and his family was in decline, but after all, he still had the innocence of a little girl, and he often joked with the personal maids.Bi Yun felt that even though the days were hard and Ge Ge always looked old-fashioned, there were always some happy moments.But now that she has been in the palace for two years, the master has transformed into a concubine Lian, but it is hard to see the smile of the past.Even if the master can smile now, it is another look.

After the meal, the palace people came in and cleaned up one by one, but Yinhu saw the maid named Wanruo looking at the short knife in her hand from time to time.

Yinhu sneered in his heart and said: The fourth son's spies did their duty, but it's a pity that the fourth brother broke the appointment on my grandfather's birthday that year and never saw this gift.I remember that time, the master was really angry with the fourth brother for half a month. If he had known that the fourth brother was such a fickle and cold-hearted person, he would not have made friends with him like this in the first place.

Yinhu dismissed Wanruo coldly to serve tea, and went into the house again for a lunch break.After all, in the afternoon, I have to deal with Concubine Hua.

Yinhu was half asleep while thinking, how could Nian be so careful because he was brave but not scheming, it must be Cao Qinmo, the military adviser, who saw him staring at the knife for a long time, and then came up with this plan.Now Concubine Wan is pregnant, Lady Hui has been restored, and Concubine Jing has also been appointed to assist the Sixth Palace.Could it be that Concubine Hua is trying to win her over?Thinking of this, Yinhu smiled slightly, turned over and fell asleep.

It's not that Yinhu doesn't want to have a relationship with Concubine Hua, but that Nianshi is at the end of his strength and there is absolutely no reason to attach to her.Therefore, Yinhu didn't bother to think about it, and fell into a deep sleep.

After Shen Shi, Yinhu hadn't woken up yet, so Fang Ruo stepped forward to wake him up. He thought that the master might not sleep well at night these days, so he was so sleepy during the day.But after all, he had promised Concubine Hua in advance, and it couldn't be too late.

Yinhu got up in a daze, let Fang Ruo and Biyun dress herself up, and finally went to Yikun Palace with a box of chrysanthemum rewarded by the emperor.

Today's Yikun Palace is very deserted, Concubine Hua only left Cao Guiren to accompany her, and did not call all the concubines.When Yinhu saw it, he knew that he was going to talk to him alone.

After presenting the tea, Concubine Hua cordially took Yinhu's hand into the Nuan Pavilion, and the two sat on both sides, Cao Guiren could only stand and serve.

Songzhi brewed the chrysanthemum brought by Yinhu and brought it up.

"Sister Lian knows how to tea, and it's been very boring these few days. This chrysanthemum clears away heat, dispels wind and improves eyesight, which is just the right time." Concubine Hua was full of enthusiasm when she spoke, and she praised Yinhu very much.

"The imperial concubine is laughing at you. The concubines are no better than the empress, and they are the only ones who can do it." As soon as Yinhu entered the Nuan Pavilion, he smelled the smoky aroma again, and felt uncomfortable, so he continued. Asked, "What kind of fragrance does your lady smell here? It's so unique."

Concubine Hua covered her face with a smile when she heard the words, Cao Guiren hurriedly said, "Concubine Lian's days are not long before entering the palace, don't you know this Huanyixiang?"

"Oh? So it's Huanyi Xiang." Yinhu didn't know about this incense. Everyone in the harem knew that this incense was bestowed by the emperor, and only Yikun Palace could use it.

"Yes, this is Huanyixiang." Cao Guiren knew that this was the most proud thing of Concubine Hua, so he said in detail in the future, "I think when the emperor was still a prince, the holy ancestor Kangxi bestowed it on you." A piece of ambergris. This ambergris is hard to come by, so the emperor ordered someone to keep half of it to make a happy incense for the imperial concubine, and it is a blessing that no one else can imagine."

On the surface, Yinhu also agrees, thinking that the fragrance is unique and unique, but she has already rolled her eyes a few times in her heart, thinking that the fourth child is trying to smoke Nianshi to death?This is not at all like the fourth brother's love for Nian Shi in the previous life. Although this love is suspected of flattery, it has given Nian noble concubine infinite glory on the bright side.

Afterwards, she drank Shichen tea for a full hour, and Concubine Hua Guifei just talked about trivial and trivial gossip, but Yinhu couldn't sit still.Firstly, the fragrance of Huanyi is really unbearable, and secondly, the chrysanthemum is somewhat cold to him.

Concubine Hua Guiren and Cao Guiren looked at each other, and they both saw the signs of Guarjia's physical discomfort, so she led the conversation to the right path, "I saw that you liked the black coral dagger yesterday, so I ordered someone to send it to you. Can you still agree?"

After hearing this, Yinhu knew that she had just stepped into the topic, so she continued, "The things that the empress rewarded are unique and elegant, and the concubines are ashamed to accept them."

Concubine Hua rolled her eyes in her heart. At first, she really didn't understand Cao Guiren's intention of sending the knife to Chuxiu Palace. Now it seems that the Guerjia family not only accepted the knife, but also really liked it, but it is really petty. .

Yinhu didn't care about Nian's thoughts, he only thought that this thing would only attract dust if placed in Yikun Palace, so it must be most suitable to be placed here.

"Since my sister likes it, I will often order people to send some treasures to me in the future." Concubine Hua took Yinhu's hand with a look of pity, and sighed, "I see my sister's watery appearance, but This hand is so cold, I feel very distressed. In the future, if my sister has something to do, just come to me, I will definitely not let my sister suffer any grievances."

There was a sneer in Yinhu's heart, if it wasn't for the case of Fubiting falling into the water, my master's body would not be so bad, how could my master dare to come to Yikun Palace, it's better to hide as far away as possible.It's just that there was a thank you on his lips, coupled with a look of watery gratitude, in Nian's eyes, he only regarded this concubine Lian as his income.

Concubine Hua Gui always did her own way, seeing that Yinhu had done what she did, she kept someone else to drink tea with her, she didn't really feel sorry for her at all, she just wanted everyone to treat her like a moon.Concubine Hua Guifei let Yinhu and Cao Guiren leave after dinner.

Just after leaving Yikun Palace, Cao Guiren said with a smile, "Thinking about it carefully, Concubine Lian is the most powerful person in the Forbidden City."

Yinhu was slightly startled, pretending to be terrified and said, "How can you say that, Mr. Cao Gui? Don't kill your concubine soon."

Cao Guiren sneered, "Your Majesty is so young, she has only been in the palace for two years, and she has jumped from a promise to a Lian concubine. It can be seen that your empress is the one who wins the emperor's heart the most."

Yinhu thought, did Concubine Hua benefit by saying this, or did Cao Qinmo mean it herself?This Yikun Palace is still close in front of her eyes, yet she dares to speak like this, it is very confusing.

"Your Majesty Cao's words are different. Siqing thinks that Broken Yuxuan is more sacred." Yinhu can only bring disaster to the east. After all, in this harem, being favored is only for a while. The emperor's heir in his stomach It is the real weight.

Cao Guiren nodded in agreement, but said in his mouth, "Ordinary people often think so."

"Oh? So who is Cao Guiren?" Yinhu had no choice but to fight Cao Qinmo.

"I remember that when Huigui was wronged in Xianyue Pavilion, only the concubine Lian's words were effective, and the emperor was not willing to punish her." Cao Guiren's words were led from Zhen Huan to Shenmeizhuang, and finally continued, "I don't know if there is something wrong with Concubine Wan. Will Concubine Lian be so heroic?"

Yinhu instantly understood Cao Guiren's purpose, and he was afraid that Concubine Hua Gui would attack Sui Yuxuan in the next few days, and this was to test her tone.Therefore, Yinhu smiled and said, "That day when the Fubiting Pavilion fell into the water, Huigui came to rescue him, and Rushiqing was very grateful. I remember that Cao Guiren was also by my side that day, so Siqing will definitely remember it."

Cao Qinmo's face changed slightly when he heard the words, knowing that it would be difficult to get one or two out of Guerjia's mouth, so he had to apologize, and went back to the palace at the fork of the palace road.

For the next three days, Yikun Palace all came to invite him kindly, and Yinhu pushed her once to go for two days, finally calming Concubine Hua Gui's suspicion.After that, Concubine Hua began to invite He Gong and her subordinates to Yikun Palace to give lectures, and they went back and forth for two days.

Being disturbed by this, Yinhu began to sleep restlessly all night. After dawn this day, he just sent someone to the imperial hospital to invite the imperial physician.Before the imperial physician arrived, Song Zhi came again.

Yinhu wanted to refuse, but Songzhi took a step forward, and whispered in Yinhu's ear, "Msg Lian, don't be too late today, she will eat for others in vain."

Songzhi took a step back, her eyes were burning, Yinhu didn't understand why, I'm afraid Concubine Hua is going to use Concubine Wan for surgery today.If he doesn't go, it will be the biggest slap in the face of Concubine Hua, and I am afraid that Nian will turn his knife towards Chuxiu Palace in the future.And now that he is delicate and frail, and he has no dragon descendant, he is probably much more difficult than Wan Concubine.Therefore, Yinhu felt that it was enough to endure this day, and after three days the emperor and empress returned to Luan, and the day would be peaceful.

So Yinhu smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Songzhi, for reminding me that the concubine should go immediately after changing her clothes."

Under the noon sun, Yinhu and the concubines and concubines from various palaces arrived in Yikun Palace one after another.After sitting for about two quarters of an hour, Wan Concubine came alone.
