According to the agreement, if the elder brother is born, the child will be brought up by the noble concubine.

Wei promised that even if he didn't want to, he couldn't change it now.

On the day when Kangxi gave the name, the imperial concubine took the initiative to ask her to raise the child.Concubine Xu Shi has performed well in the past few months, and there are no other concubines competing for it, so Kangxi agreed.

But after all, the child has just been born, and generally speaking, it will not be sent away until after the full moon, so Brother Ba stays with Wei Xu for the time being.

According to the usual practice, Kangxi General Wei promised to be promoted to Wei Changzai. Although he still lived in the East Palace and the maids and eunuchs did not change, the annual salary was a little higher and the status was a little higher.

Wei's promise that Jin Feng would be here often did not cause much trouble, but Yinhu was raised by a noble concubine, which made some people envious.

A child raised by a favored empress and an unfavored empress will have a completely different future!

The so-called son is more expensive than his mother, even if Yinhu's biological mother is only a permanent presence, his future future is limitless, because his nominal mother is a noble concubine!

From this point of view, apart from His Royal Highness, the other elder brothers in the palace are inferior to him.

In this regard, some people who didn't like Ma Guan gloated, saying that her child was not as good as Wei Changzai's, who was still her court lady back then.

Qiaoyun and the others were so angry after hearing these sour words that they even hated Wei Changzai and Yinhu.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? The fourth elder brother and sixth elder brother are smart and clever, how can they not be as good as the eighth elder brother? I used to treat Wei Changzai as a good sister, but now she..."

"Why are you so angry? It's not what Wei Chang said. Why are you angry with her and the eighth elder brother?" Ma Yu shook her head with a smile. If you are angry, you are fooled.

"But……"

"Okay, okay, don't pay attention to these gossips, let's take a look at the heroes that Lianqing helped you choose." Ma Yu took out a piece of paper and handed it to Qiaoyun, jokingly said: "I have already roughly selected the heroes for you." After going through it again, there are still five remaining, all with good conditions, and none of them have ever been married. If you marry, you will be Fujin."

"Niang Niang..." Qiao Yun looked ashamed and annoyed, but she involuntarily took the paper, and blushed more and more as she looked at it.

"Is it tricky?" Ma Guan joked.

"Not at all." Qiao Yun stomped her feet and put the paper on the table: "The servants are not leaving the palace."

"Are you dissatisfied with all of these?"

"It's not... Your Majesty, you don't want to tease your servants, your servants obey your Majesty's orders." Qiao Yun covered her flushed face, turned around and ran away.

Ma Guan smiled, this girl usually looks impatient and straightforward, but she is so shy when encountering major events in life.

So she helped Qiaoyun choose the most suitable one in all aspects, and the marriage was settled like this.

A few days later, Qiaoyun's family and her fiancé's family discussed the marriage and asked them to choose a date to get married, so Qiaoyun left the palace.

On the day of leaving, Ma Guan gave her a lot of dowry, and she cried bitterly. After leaving, she didn't know if she could meet again.

"This is a happy event. Why are you crying? If the emperor grants grace during the festival, you can enter the palace to visit me like Lianqing." Ma Guan patted her on the back, and Qiaoyun's tears wiped her tears away. Her skirt was wet.

"But the servant girl just doesn't want to part with the empress, I am afraid that the servant girl will never meet such a good person as the empress again in this life..."

"You can get whatever you want, so don't think so. You are about to get married, and you will be the mistress of the house in the future. You can no longer follow your temper like before. Your temper, sometimes too impatient, It's easy to offend people, you have to restrain yourself, you know?"

"The servant has recorded it."

"Go, we will meet each other by fate." Ma Guan sent her out of the palace all the way.

Seeing that familiar figure drifting away, Ma Guan couldn't help but her eyes turned red.

She has known Qiaoyun for six years. Qiaoyun is not only her court lady, but also her good sister. She only hopes that Qiaoyun will be happy for the rest of her life.

She sighed softly, and her eyes fell on Yuan He, Zhu Yun and the others.

Yuan He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this servant is only eighteen, please don't leave the palace."

"In a flash, you have been with me for three years. Zhu Yun, Caiwei, Lvrou and Qinghan have served me for two years. I know your temperaments well, and you are all good girls. After a few more years, ben The palace will also choose a good marriage for you and let you go out of the palace."

Ma Guan looked at the five maids around her one by one. Lurou and Qinghan were the last to come, so they have been in charge of the outer courtyard.Zhu Yun and Cai Wei are in charge of the apse, and Qiao Yun and Yuan He are her personal maids and grand ladies.

Now that Qiaoyun is gone, another one needs to be added.

"Zhu Yun, you can fill Qiaoyun's vacancy in the future, and pick a newcomer from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Yes, empress." Zhu Yun suppressed the joy in her heart, and responded respectfully.

……

A few days after Qiaoyun left, the envoy of the Junggar Khanate and the legendary Princess Burzhu finally entered Beijing!

On this day, the alleys in the capital were empty, men, women and children all took to the streets to watch, wanting to see the elegant demeanor of Princess Boerzhu.

It's a pity that the princess has been sitting in the carriage. The carriage is decorated with exotic colors, gorgeous and beautiful.

Kangxi received the envoys of the Junggar Khanate in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. At this time, Princess Buerzhu made her appearance, and it is said that she amazed all the civil and military officials on the spot.

Princess Buerzhu even directly stated that she was here to make a marriage, and she was willing to become one of the Qing emperor's harem, which made many people envious.

This was a marriage of great political significance. The Junggar Khanate had just been established and could not withstand the blows of the Qing court.While Kangxi wanted to pacify the San Francisco, he wanted to deal with Taiwan at the same time, and at this time he was unable to deal with the Junggar Khanate.

Therefore, Kangxi agreed to bring Princess Boerzhu into the harem, and directly canonized her as a concubine and lived in Jingren Palace.

This matter is a major event for the court, and even more so for the harem.

Everyone never expected that this Boerzhu princess would really come to marry her, and she was conferred the title of concubine upon arrival, and lived in Jingren Palace.Jingren Palace was the residence of Empress Xiaozhaoren back then. Ever since the empress passed away, this place has been vacant. After Yongshou Palace flooded last year, Concubine Niu lived there for a few days.

The emperor asked He concubine to live here, is there any meaning?

"I heard that the emperor granted permission to wear Junggar costumes with his concubine instead of our Qing costumes, and left two cooks to cook food for her, which is enough to show that the emperor loves her. Sister De concubine, this trend is not very good Wonderful."

Even an old man like Concubine Hui couldn't sit still, so she came to Yonghe Palace that afternoon to tell the news she had found out.

"I think my sister is overthinking. The momentary favor doesn't mean anything." Ma Yuan smiled indifferently, not to mention that the emperor only conferred the title of Princess Boerzhu as a concubine, so what if he canonized her as a concubine or a noble concubine?

"How do you know it's just a momentary favor? I've asked someone about it, and the concubine is indeed very beautiful...Of course, she's still a little worse than my younger sister, but she's far more beautiful than the rest of the harem. She's from Junggar again. Princess, it will definitely not be difficult to become a concubine in the future."

Concubine Hui felt that this was a very powerful opponent, but what made her anxious was that Concubine De had no reaction.

Ma Guan looked at her with raised eyebrows, and reminded: "It is precisely because she is the princess of Junggar that she can't go far. Sister, the ambition of the Junggar Khanate is too great, and it will threaten the Qing Dynasty sooner or later. Then you say that the emperor will what to do?"

"Is it so serious?" Concubine Hui was startled, she didn't understand these things, but if the Junggar Khanate really threatened the Qing Dynasty, the emperor would definitely not sit idly by.

As a married princess, how could she really be favored by the emperor?

However, how did Debi know that the Junggar Khanate was ambitious?Then if Junggar has always been obedient, wouldn't Princess Buerzhu be favored all the time?

Concubine Hui still frowned, feeling that she should pay more attention to Concubine Hui in the future.

……

That night, Kangxi hosted a banquet in honor of the envoys of the Junggar Khanate, and even danced with his concubine on the spot. His enchanting figure and graceful dance attracted praise from everyone, and Kangxi nodded from time to time.

So that night, Concubine He was summoned and officially became one of Kangxi's concubines.

To everyone's surprise, he and his concubine went to the Yonghe Palace early the next morning to meet De concubine.

Hearing that concubine He came, Ma Guan was also surprised for a while, she immediately ordered the maid to invite him to the main hall, secretly thinking about the concubine He's coming.

Arriving at the main hall, a touch of exotic style immediately came into view. The woman in front of her had deep eye sockets, a straight nose, red lips and white teeth. She was indeed a rare beauty.

She wore a rose red tunic dress, which was a unique costume of the Junggar Khanate. She was full of heroism and a bit gorgeous, which was very different from the clothes of the empress in the harem.The bun is also completely different, wearing a small hat of the same color with tassels hanging down from the hat, chic and beautiful.

Seeing this Boerzhu princess, Ma Guan's first reaction was "a beauty in the world", no wonder the concubines in the harem were jealous.

When she looked at Hebi, Hebi also looked at her.

With just one glance, He concubine, who had been proud of her beauty since she was a child, was amazed and even felt ashamed.

Ma Guan's clothes were relatively plain, and only a thin layer of makeup was applied on her face, but her gestures exuded elegance and nobility, which made people unable to take their eyes off.When she smiled, it was like a hundred flowers blooming, and the surroundings brightened up.

Therefore, He Bi stared blankly.

"Sister Hepin, please sit down." Ma Guan noticed Hepin's gaffe, and was rather dumbfounded, only girls from Junggar dared to stare at her so presumptuously.

"Oh, oh, sister Xie Depin." Hepin finally came back to his senses, but after taking his seat, he still stared at Ma Guan fiercely.

Ma Guan had no choice but to take the initiative to ask: "My sister and concubine just arrived yesterday, and she went to bed again last night. It's time to have a good rest today. Why do you want to come to my place?"

Hebi stared at it for a while, and got used to it, and his consciousness slowly picked up.

"I heard that the concubine who is serving the bed for the first time will visit you and Sister Hui Concubine the next morning, so I will come to your place first, and then go to Sister Hui Concubine's side later."

"We are all concubines, you don't have to. Although concubine Hui and I take care of the harem, we haven't fully taken over the queen's rights, so this item is omitted." Ma Yu looked at concubine concubine nonchalantly. Know if she is really stupid or pretending to be stupid.

As a concubine, how can there be a saying of seeing or not?

"So it's like this? I'm new here, and I don't know the rules of the Qing harem, so I made Sister Depin laugh." He blushed and said embarrassedly: "Sister Depin, what should I do now?"

Ma Guan complained secretly, you can do whatever you want, why are you asking about her?

"You can visit the empresses of the various palaces, especially the imperial concubines, who have the highest status in the harem."

"Sister Xie Depin reminds me." Hepin's eyes lit up, but he quickly asked suspiciously: "The imperial concubine has the highest status, so why didn't she take charge of the harem?"

Ma Quan: "...this matter is ordered by the emperor."

He concubine smiled and said: "I see, it must be that the emperor loves sister De concubine and sister Hui concubine more."

Ma Guan: "...the emperor is exposed to both rain and dew, and is very good to the concubines in the harem."

"I seem to have said the wrong thing... Sister Debi, don't be angry, I will ask you to teach me more in the future." Hebi suppressed her smile and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.

"You just entered the palace, so it's normal not to know much about it. I'll send two nuns to your palace later to teach you the palace rules. You just have to study hard."

"Then thank you very much, sister Depin."

Ma Guan smiled lightly, "They're all sisters in the harem, so you're welcome. If you lack anything there, or if you're not used to living there, you must tell me."

Hepin nodded, stared at Ma Guan for a moment and asked: "Sister Depin, you are so kind, can I come here to visit you often in the future?"

"of course can."

"That would be great! I don't have any friends here, I hope to become friends with sister Debi." Hebi suddenly pulled out a dagger from the side of his leg, and Yuan He and others were startled.

However, Hebi presented it to Ma Guan with both hands, and said earnestly: "As the first friend, I will give you this dagger that I have carried for many years. Sister Debi, you must accept it."

"How can I accept such a precious thing? Besides, this harem is full of sisters. If you only give it to me, other sisters will not be envious if they find out?" , looking innocent, cute and unscheming, but she didn't believe her.

"Sister Ke Depin is my first friend here, and the meaning is different. Don't worry, Sister Depin, I have prepared gifts for other sisters as well." Hepin insisted on giving it away, so he simply stuffed the dagger into the mandrel hands.

Ma Guan shook her head helplessly: "I am overwhelmed by such kindness. As a gift in return, I will give you this bracelet. My sister, please don't dislike it."

This bracelet was given to her by the emperor. It is said that it was a Hetian jade tribute from Fanbang. One was given to her and the other to the Empress Dowager. It was very precious.

"This bracelet is so beautiful, thank you sister." Hebi happily accepted it: "We exchanged gifts, and we will be friends for the rest of our lives!"

The two chatted for a while, and after about half an hour, He Bi happily left.

On this day, Concubine He went around the entire harem, except Concubine Niu, who was grounded, and Concubine Duan, who said she was sick and didn't see any visitors, everyone else went there and gave gifts.

She was so polite, but the concubines who were hostile to her before were very embarrassed, and their attitudes towards her changed one after another.

In the evening, Concubine Hui came to Yonghe Palace again, her eyes were full of smiles.

"What happened to make my sister so happy?" Ma Yu smiled, Concubine Hui was still worried yesterday.

"My concubine and I came to my palace today and gave me a gift, so I can only pay her back. I think she is very sensible, she doesn't have the airs of a princess, and she is really beautiful." Concubine Hui said bluntly. To be honest, I am full of praise for Hefei.

"Yeah, people look innocent, and they said they came to see me in the morning, and I said that we are all concubines, so there is no need to be like this." Ma Guan smiled, Concubine Hui seemed quite satisfied with Concubine He.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Hui changed the subject and smiled a little strangely: "Sister, do you really think there is such a person? Could it be that they pretended to show us?"

Ma Guan replied: "It takes a long time to see people's hearts, whether it is true or not, you will know in a few days."

Concubine Hui nodded, if He Concubine was really pretending, then this person is too scheming, probably another Niu Gulu family.

While the two were discussing here, the noble concubine in Chengqian Palace was also thinking about it.

Originally, the concubine was already very difficult to deal with, but now there is another princess with the same appearance and background, which makes her feel a great sense of crisis.

The harem has been quiet for so long, is there going to be another disturbance?

"Heh, maybe this is also good. Let Debi test the waters first. It would be best if both parties suffer." She chuckled softly, stroking her long nails. This time, she planned to be a spectator.

In Jingren Palace, Concubine He was sitting in front of a vanity mirror taking off her makeup. She was served by two maidservants brought from the Junggar Khanate. Like her, both of them were dressed in local costumes.

As for the four court ladies sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they were ordered not to approach the palace, and were only in charge of the courtyard.

"Princess, we don't need to be so low-key, right? Those concubines seem to have never seen the world, and they are not worthy of being the princess's opponent." One of the maids said disdainfully, speaking in the local dialect of Junggar.

The concubine stretched out a finger and shook it: "Mona, don't underestimate anyone. I heard that these girls will use any means to compete for favor. We are newcomers, so we must be careful. The only way is to lower their reputation first. Only by being vigilant can you hit with one blow, kill all threatening opponents, and become the most beloved concubine of the Qing emperor."

"What the princess said is true." Mona lowered her head in shame.

Another court lady, Mu Sha, said: "Princess, I see so many concubines, only the De concubine looks good. I heard that she is the most beloved woman of the Qing emperor. If the princess wants to be in power, she must be killed."

"Debi is indeed different. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I never imagined that there would be such a beautiful woman in the Qing Dynasty." Hepin propped his chin with one hand, and the image of Ma Guan appeared in his mind, and sighed: "I pride myself on being beautiful, but compared to her, I'm still a little worse."

"Then ruin her appearance, so that the princess will be the most beautiful woman." Mu Sha said the most vicious words expressionlessly.

"That's right. These concubines of the Qing Dynasty don't know martial arts. We can pretend to be assassins and ruin her appearance." Mona agreed.

"Reckless." He concubine glared at the two of them: "Isn't this too obvious? Any fool knows that we did it. This matter needs to be discussed in the long run. I need to get on good terms with De concubine first, so that she can completely let go of her guard. Give her another fatal blow."

"The princess is wise." The two maids praised in admiration.

So in the early morning of the second day, Hepin went to Yonghe Palace again, and saw Ma Guan teaching Yinzhen and Hesheli's painting, her eyes widened excitedly.

"Miracle! This is definitely a miracle! I have seen many paintings, but nothing like this is so lifelike! Sister Debi, you are so amazing, can I learn to paint from you in the future?"

Hepin screamed exaggeratedly, holding Ma Guan's painting and looked at it over and over again.

The painting on it is the scene of Kangxi hunting fierce tigers. The characters are painted with the techniques of later generations, so they look very three-dimensional, which is very different from the two-dimensional sketches of the time.

Ma Guan was also colored so that the whole painting was vivid and tense, bringing people to the hunting scene in an instant.

"Learning to paint is very difficult. Look at Mr. Hesheli, he has been studying with me for a year." Ma Quan joked with a smile.

"Sister Depin, don't talk about things with me, okay?" Hesheli pouted, mainly because she was often lazy, fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, so far she has not been such a brat as Yinzhen well drawn.

What can she do?She is also desperate.

Hepin looked at Hesheli's transformation curiously, and his expression suddenly became very strange, uh, is it only like this after one year of study?

"I'm not afraid of hardship, as long as sister Depin is willing to teach me." However, Hepin did not back down, this was the best opportunity to get close to Ma Guan. "I also want to become a master of painting like Sister Depin."

Hershey whispered triumphantly: "Sister Depin is not only a master of painting, but also a master of gourmet food. Even the emperor and the empress dowager are full of praise for her delicious food. Many concubines in the harem have learned from Sister Depin. Make snacks."

"Really?" Hebi was surprised, Debi was so powerful?She really underestimated her.

"Of course." Hesheli said more and more vigorously, showing off with joy, "Sister De Concubine can also make perfume, and the perfume she makes is very fragrant, and the ladies in the harem especially like it."

"Perfume? What is that?" Hebi opened her eyes wide, and at this moment, she realized that she was like a fool who didn't know anything.

Ma Quan poked Hesheli's forehead, and said with a smile: "If you are serious about drawing you, you need to talk too much. Don't listen to her sister and concubine, but they are all little things that don't stand on the stage."

Hershey pursed her lips, she still wanted to continue talking about Debi's glorious deeds, such as shielding the emperor from a knife.

"Sister Depin is too modest, you are really good, I hope I can learn painting from you." The more Hepin knows, the more terrifying Depin is, he is definitely a formidable opponent, no wonder he can become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty favorite woman.

She couldn't help putting away her underestimation, if she wanted to deal with this woman, she might have to change her plan.

So in the days that followed, Hepin came to Yonghe Palace every morning to learn painting from Ma Quan, and Ma Quan's apprentice team grew stronger and stronger.

A month passed in a flash, and the concubine was already at ease in the palace, and was very much loved by the emperor.

In addition, I also heard a lot about the harem.Hearing that two concubines had already died, another concubine was downgraded and has been grounded so far, and even the noble concubine suffered several times, so she looked solemn.

The harem of the Qing Dynasty was indeed more terrifying than imagined.And that concubine's methods are also very dreadful.

She observed Debi for a long time, and found it difficult to strike at him. After thinking about it for a month, she finally figured out a way, which would definitely hit him with one blow!
