After Ma Yuan became a concubine, there was a lot of excitement in the Yonghe Palace.

Nobles Wei, Hesheli, and concubines who are close to Ma Guan all came to congratulate in person, and concubines Hui, concubines Duan, and nobles also sent congratulatory gifts.

Of course, Ma Guan also paid tribute to Concubine Hui, congratulating her with joy.

It was the twelfth lunar month of winter, so Ma Guan asked people to cook a small hot pot, one pot was eaten by ladies, one pot was rewarded to court ladies, and the other pot was for eunuchs.

The hot pot is divided into two halves, one half is spicy, the other half is not spicy, and supplemented with spices, pepper, etc., it has a taste of later generations.

Pepper was introduced to the capital in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. The concubines have always had a light taste, and they have never eaten this, so they just tasted it and couldn't stop.

Fortunately, this chili is not particularly spicy, and after being rolled in the oil pan, it is more fragrant. Ma Guan is not worried that everyone will spoil their stomachs if they eat it.

"Sister Defei, this hot pot is so delicious, it's even more delicious than any I've eaten before!" The youngest nobleman, Hesheli, was the least afraid of spicy food, his face was flushed, and he showed a happy expression like a fairy.

After the new year, she will be fourteen years old. She is a bit taller than when she first entered the palace two years ago, and she is also more cheerful and lively.

Concubine Xi smiled and said: "This hot pot is indeed delicious, it is even better than the one made by the imperial chef, and it's the Empress Concubine De who is the best."

After Ma Guan was promoted, her position was higher than that of Xi Concubine, so Xi Concubine could no longer call her sister.But I was too embarrassed to call her elder sister, after all, she was seven or eight years older than Ma Guan, so she called her Empress Defei.

"If Sister Xi Concubine likes it, I'll write down the recipe and give it to you another day. You can eat it whenever you want." Ma Guan didn't change her words.

"That's a good relationship. But this hot pot must be eaten together to be delicious. Next time I want to eat, I have to invite you over." The past two years can be said to be a happy one. Although not so favored, there is Brother Seven was by his side, so he was more cheerful than before.

"Your Majesty, congratulations on being promoted to concubine." Wei Guiren personally poured a cup of tea, and offered tea to Maru instead of wine.

After Ma Yu became a concubine, her coldness miraculously recovered!

"Yes, I haven't congratulated you yet." Concubine Xi and Hesheli also held a cup of tea and said in unison: "Congratulations to Empress Defei."

"You are still so polite to me." Ma Guan smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"You have become a concubine and are taking care of the harem again, so I don't have to worry about it in the future." Xi Concubine said meaningfully, and nobleman Wei also nodded expectantly.

Ma Guan shook his head and laughed, and suddenly said after a while: "I have a plan, which will be implemented after the New Year, and now I want to tell everyone about it first, and everyone can help to see if it is feasible."

"Your Majesty, just say, as long as I can help, I will definitely help." Xi Concubine applauded without hesitation.

"It's like this. I want to gather a few young brothers under the age of three and come to Yonghe Palace to play for a while every morning, about an hour. The content of the fun includes listening to music, appreciating paintings, listening to stories, etc. Anyway, You guys can play whatever you like."

Ma Guan's doing this is actually for infant education, but the deeper purpose is to beat the imperial concubine.

She took a special look at Wei Guiren, and Wei Guiren immediately understood that the empress was helping her!

As long as the eighth elder brother comes to Yonghe Palace every morning to have fun, she can help take care of her, so she doesn't have to worry about not seeing her son.Moreover, if they meet each other every day, the imperial concubine will not dare to torture the eighth elder brother, otherwise the eighth elder brother may sue.

After the new year, the eighth elder brother is almost one year old, can trot and talk, and filing a complaint is not a problem at all.

"Your Majesty, this idea is very good." Wei Gui immediately agreed, his eyes were full of gratitude.

Concubine Xi showed doubts on her face: "These can be taught in my own palace, there is no need to gather them together? Of course, I am not against it, but I am worried that others will not agree. After all, the fifth elder brother is with the empress dowager, and the eighth elder brother At the imperial concubine's place."

"Sister Xi Concubine is right, so I will ask the emperor first. If the emperor agrees, then everything will be fine. In this way, not only can resources be pooled to teach together, but also brothers can cultivate brotherhood from Xiaoping. I believe The emperor will approve."

In fact, Ma Guan is not too worried about this point. If the effect is really not good, it will be disbanded at that time.

"Cultivate brotherhood, that's good." Xi Concubine didn't know what to think of, looked at Ma Guan and laughed.

Cultivating brotherhood must be her seventh elder brother's blessing.She is just a concubine, Dai Jia is just a nobleman, and the seventh elder brother is disabled and not favored by the emperor. It seems that there is not much way out in the future.

The fourth elder brother and sixth elder brother are different. Their mother is a concubine, and they may be promoted to imperial concubine in the future. The future is bright.

If the seventh elder brother had a good relationship with them since childhood, he would not have to worry about being bullied by other elder brothers in the future.

Furthermore, she can also come to Yonghe Palace from time to time to deepen her relationship with Concubine De, killing two birds with one stone.

"So, Sister Xi Consort agreed?"

"Of course I agree, it's just that you will work very hard."

"What am I working so hard for? It's just taking care of me. There will be someone to teach my brothers when the time comes." Ma Guan smiled and looked at Wei Guiren: "Wei Guiren has learned painting from me for so long, I believe it will not be a problem to teach my brothers."

"Your Majesty, this, this isn't appropriate, is it?" Wei Gui was surprised, the Empress actually entrusted her with such an important task?

"What's inappropriate? You have to believe in yourself, you are much better than someone who loves to be lazy." Maru joked, and even took a special look at Hesheli.

Hesheli pouted: "Sister Defei, you are laughing at me again."

"Okay, I'm not kidding you, you also have a task. You know the little stories I often tell the fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother? You will be responsible for telling the story then."

"Really? I can do this!" Hershey's brows were filled with joy, and she was gearing up immediately. She was finally not useless.

Ma Guan smiled, and Xi Concubine also laughed.

"Then what about singing? I'm afraid singing will not be approved?" Xi Concubine asked worriedly.

"Of course it won't be approved if it's a melodious sound, but I plan to adapt famous poems from the Tang and Song Dynasties into songs and then let people sing them. In this way, I can also let my elder brothers get in touch with ancient poems in advance. As for the candidates for the songs... ...I think it is the most suitable for the nobleman, she is the best at singing and dancing."

Ma Guan had already thought about this matter, and he and the nobleman had been grounded for half a year, so it was time to let him out for a breather.Give her this opportunity, I believe she will be grateful and more loyal.

"That's not bad, but you have more ideas." Concubine Xi was filled with admiration, wondering how Concubine De's brain grew.

So a few days later, at the New Year's Eve family dinner, Ma Guan put forward his suggestion in public.All nobles and above were honored to participate in this family banquet, so Concubine Hui, Concubine Xi, Noble Wei, Noble Hesheli, and Dai Jia expressed their approval on the spot.

Concubine Yi thought about it, it would be good for herself, she only needed to go to Yonghe Palace every day to see Fifth Elder Brother, so she agreed.

Concubine Niu and Concubine Xuan didn't make a sound, after all, this matter has nothing to do with them, only the imperial concubine glared at Ma Guan angrily.No matter how stupid she was, she guessed that Concubine De was targeting her on purpose.

"Since everyone agrees, I will agree. Concubine De, try it for a while to see the effect. If the effect is good, continue in the future. If the effect is not good, we will discuss it." Kangxi saw no objection, so he pushed the boat along agreed.

He has no idea about cultivating the interests and hobbies of his brothers, but he appreciates the promotion of brotherhood. Concubine De really thinks about the descendants of the royal family.

"The concubine complies with the order." Ma Yu responded with a smile, and when he looked at Concubine Xi, nobleman Wei and others, they all showed smiles.

The second day was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Ma Guan went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, and also mentioned this matter by the way.The empress dowager agreed and praised her a few words. In this way, all obstacles were eliminated.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, He Guiren was lifted from the confinement. She was grateful and resentful towards Ma Guan, and once again deeply felt Ma Guan's terrifying ability.

Ma Guan took her reaction into consideration, and said with a faint smile: "I said before, as long as you are obedient, I will not treat you badly. This time I can lift your grounds, and if you dare to commit another crime next time, Bengong can still send you in. This time is an opportunity that Bengong specially bought for you, I hope you don't waste it."

"Concubine Xie De. Madam, please rest assured, I will definitely look up to your majesty in the future, and I will never dare to betray you." He expressed his loyalty to the nobleman.

In fact, this is also a helpless move for her, she sent a letter to her brother a long time ago, but he has not found a solution to the Gu worm for a long time.

There are only two ways to get out of the control of Gu worms, one is the mother worm is eliminated, and the second brother is the host of the mother worm dies, then the connection is naturally broken.

Needless to say the first one, Concubine De will definitely not take the initiative to kill the female worm.As for the second one, she didn't even dare to think about it, for fear that Concubine De would find out if she thought about it a little more.

Now that the matter has come to this point, she can only return to Concubine Shunde and take one step at a time.

In the following days, I worked hard with the nobleman to learn a few poems adapted by the predecessors, but it was far from enough, so I created it myself with the ladies and fathers-in-law who are proficient in melody in the Jiaofang Division.

She already loved singing and dancing, but after this, her passion was completely ignited, which was much more interesting than being grounded.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, infant and toddler education officially begins.

Needless to say, the fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother were all dressed up and waiting in the main hall with great interest.The fourth elder brother has already turned three years old. In fact, he does not need to participate, but he thought it was interesting, so he came together.

Not long after, Concubine Xi and Dai Jia brought the seventh elder brother to the Yonghe Palace. The seventh elder brother was relatively introverted and rarely saw so many people, so he became more and more afraid.

The fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother took him to play together, and the seventh elder brother gradually let go of his courage when he saw that the two elder brothers were so amiable.

"Seventh elder brother is playing with his older brothers for the first time, look how happy he is." Xi Concubine watched the three little guys get together, laughed a few times from time to time, and also showed a smile.

"That's right, if Empress Defei hadn't proposed this idea, Brother Seven would still be able to play in Xianfu Palace." Dai Jia was also very happy, she never dreamed that she and Brother Seven would have such a relationship It's an honor to be so close to Concubine De and the two elder brothers.

While talking, someone came again, it was actually Lagu Su Ma, who personally sent the fifth elder brother over.The fifth elder brother has been raised by the Empress Dowager for the past two years. After being influenced by the Empress Dowager's Buddha-nature, his whole person has also become Buddha-natured, obedient and polite.

Concubine Yi took a step back, she probably sent someone to look at the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and when she saw Brother Wu coming, she followed.

"Why did my aunt come here in person?" Ma Guan stepped forward to respond, pulling Aunt Su Ma to sit down.

Compared with when she first entered the palace, Aunt Su Ma is a little older. She is 71 years old this year, but she still looks very energetic.

Aunt Su Ma smiled kindly: "The servant is idle anyway, so I came to take a look. The old master also wanted to come here, she is interested in you, and let the servant be a sentinel."

"I'm afraid my aunt will be bored, so why don't my aunt watch and observe for the emperor's grandmother first?" Ma Yu smiled. With the attention of the empress dowager, the imperial concubine must have no courage to make a move.

After a while, Concubine Hui and the nobles also arrived, leaving only the eighth elder brother.

Mrs. Wei stood at the door looking forward to it all the time, until it was midnight, the imperial concubine came late with her eighth elder brother, almost stepping on the start time of the class.

"Sister De Concubine is so lively here, isn't Bengong late? The main reason is that the eighth elder brother cried for a while in the morning, so I can only coax you carefully." The noble concubine glanced at the crowd present, quite self-confident.

Suddenly seeing Lagu Su Ma behind the crowd, she immediately put on a smile.

"I'm really sorry for making everyone wait so long, Yunxiu, send the eighth elder brother there quickly."

Ma Guan watched her play with changing faces, and secretly rolled her eyes. Sure enough, only the Empress Dowager can restrain this fellow.

Eighth Prince is the youngest, one month away from turning one year old, which is the time to be lively and active.The four elder brothers showed great curiosity and love for him. Where did he play with so many people of the same age?Holding everyone's little hands and talking non-stop.

Mrs. Wei's eyes were moist seeing her son so well-behaved. Brother Ba has grown so big, but she only took care of him for a month. This kind of difference is really tormenting.

Since the first day of class, Maru didn't manage too strictly, and this kind of thing needs to be done step by step.

She first told everyone about the content of the lectures, which were mainly divided into three parts: listening to music, listening to stories and reading picture books. The music was sung by Mr. He, the story was told by Mr. Hesheli, and Mr. Wei was in charge of the album.

After listening to it, everyone has no objection, especially Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui and others, anyway, just don't let them worry about it.

After a while, the little elder brothers became familiar with each other, and the fourth elder brother was the oldest, so he was respectfully called "fourth elder brother" by the other four.

There are three more younger brothers at once, even the "mature and steady" Yinzhen is happy to smile.

After playing for nearly half an hour, the lecture officially began, and the nobleman stepped forward under the instruction of Ma Guan, and sang the song cordially.In order to achieve the effect, there are also two court ladies to assist in the performance, and the elder brothers are immediately attracted by the beautiful singing.

"Yo Yo Luming, the apple of the wild food. I have a guest, playing the lute and the sheng..."

The nobleman's voice was clear and melodious, and he sang "The Book of Songs. The Cry of the Deer", which is a poem for the king to entertain his ministers.

He sang it three times with the nobleman, and several elder brothers actually hummed along, even the youngest eighth elder brother lit up his eyes and danced.

"Oh, it's amazing. Why didn't I think of teaching my elder brother like this before? After that kid went to school, poetry and songs are the most troublesome, and he was criticized by his husband." Concubine Hui beat her feet and chest, with a face of regret.

Some time ago, I heard that Eldest Brother is not as good as His Highness the Crown Prince in terms of poetry and poetry. The Crown Prince is two years younger than Eldest Brother.

"Sister Hui Concubine is being modest, the eldest elder brother is already very powerful." Ma Guan laughed.

"What's amazing... Forget it, let's not talk about him, so as not to spoil the fun." Concubine Hui said this, but she was still very happy in her heart, her elder brother was not that bad.

After singing the song with the nobleman, the nobleman Hesheli came on stage nervously and told a story about a fox pretending to be a tiger.She has a lively nature and is young, so she got together with a few older brothers while talking, and they all liked her very much.

It's nothing to others, except the imperial concubine who is not comfortable listening to it, always feels that the concubine De is deliberately being satirized by her.

After Mrs. Hesheli finished telling the story, it was Mrs. Wei's turn. Mrs. Wei was always timid, but the presence of the eighth elder brother weakened her sense of tension.

She distributed the albums she drew to everyone, and the pictures on them were very common things, such as apples, pears, grapes, teacups and so on.These paintings are all colored and look colorful and very beautiful.

The older Yinzhen can naturally understand what the paintings are, the seventh and eighth elder brothers are too young, so they only think the things are beautiful.

Wei Guiren pointed to the picture and said the name, and even brought the real thing. Seeing her son babbling and smiling, she felt a sense of satisfaction.

"I let the nursing mother teach these things, there is absolutely no need to waste time here." The imperial concubine was not very happy seeing this scene, and felt a sense of crisis.

What if the Eighth Prince had been in contact with Wei Guiren for a long time, and knew that Wei Gui was his biological mother, so what if he had little affection for her as an adoptive mother?Then wouldn't she really be taken advantage of?

"Birth mother is more dedicated than wet nurse after all." Concubine Yi sighed casually, and then secretly regretted it, what if Aunt Su Ma told the Empress Dowager this?

Aunt Su Ma just smiled. Although the fifth elder brother was raised by the empress dowager, she could understand Concubine Yi's mood.

An hour passed quickly, and the little ones were still full of ideas. When Mrs. Wei wanted to collect the picture album, the eighth elder brother burst into tears.

Gui Gui was so distressed that he gave the picture album to Brother Ba, and Brother Ba stopped crying.

Everyone laughed and said, "It really is a mother-child connection."

The imperial concubine's face became even more stinky.

Infant and toddler education has just started for one day, and it has been praised by everyone. Needless to say, Concubine Yi, Nobility Wei, Concubine Xi, etc., it can not only enhance the relationship between the elder brothers, but also strengthen the relationship between them.

Even La Aunt Su Ma was full of praise after returning home, which made the empress dowager even moved.

Only the imperial concubine was upset, she knew very well that the concubine de was deliberately targeting her, so that she would not dare to threaten nobleman Wei with the eighth elder brother.

"Wei Shi, this bitch, dares to betray me. I really think I can't do anything about her?" The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Before Wei Shi caught a cold, she thought it was strange, but the illness was too serious, so she didn't think much about it. think.

Reminiscent of what happened today, no matter how stupid she is, she knows Wei Shi's choice, and she is afraid that she will tell Concubine De all what she said, and Concubine De will make this move.

"Concubine De, Mrs. Wei... well, since you are going to stage a show of sisterly love, I will see how long you can be in love!" The imperial concubine stared coldly at the eighth elder brother, who was still looking at the album happily .

"I let you see it! Let you see it!" The imperial concubine was so angry that she grabbed the album and tore it into pieces.

What mother-child love?She refuses to let it go!

"Wow..." Eighth Brother saw that the picture book was torn into pieces, and immediately burst into tears, but the maids were silent, and no one dared to come forward to comfort Eighth Brother.

On the morning of the second day, the little elder brothers continued to come to Yonghe Palace for class, and the eighth elder brother was happy to see the little friends.

When it was Wei Guiren's turn to show everyone the picture album, he realized that Brother Ba did not bring the picture album.

The eighth elder brother said aggrievedly: "Tear...it's gone..."

"It doesn't matter, I still have a lot here, I'll get you another one." Wei Guiren thought he was playful, and tore up the album.

The noble concubine was in a cold sweat, she didn't expect this little brat to say such a thing, she was still so young next year.

On this day, the eighth elder brother brought back the album again and read it with relish.The imperial concubine was angry and helpless, she was a bit wary, but she didn't dare to attack him any more.

On the third day, the imperial concubine was simply out of sight and out of mind, and only asked the nurse to take the eighth elder brother to the Yonghe Palace.

Who would have thought that the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor would all be here.

Everyone saluted and greeted, the Empress Dowager smiled kindly and said: "The Ai family is just here for fun, you do what you want, don't pay attention to us."

Kangxi also said: "Listen to the emperor's grandmother, how it was in the past, and how it is today."

The three of them sat down in the hall, accompanied by Ma Guan, Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi and others, noble Hesheli and noble Wei were very nervous.

He and the nobleman were very relaxed, and they used [-]% of their strength to sing a poem so beautifully and tactfully that the three empress dowagers nodded slightly.

"This is a good way to learn poetry. Even if they don't know the meaning, they can remember it after listening to it for a long time." Kangxi nodded appreciatively, looked at Ma Yuan and said, "I decided to keep this method. It's up to you to worry about it."

Ma Guan was recognized and said with a happy smile: "The emperor believes in my concubines, and my concubines will never disappoint the emperor."

The Empress Dowager joked: "The first time Aijia saw you back then, he knew that you would be extraordinary in the future, and now he really did not disappoint Aijia."

"The imperial grandmother said so, the concubine must be proud." Ma Guan coquettishly, she was very kind to the empress dowager, and thanked the old man very much.

"This year is the [-]th birthday of the imperial grandmother. I have to celebrate the imperial grandmother. Concubine De, Concubine Hui, and Concubine Yi, this time, you three will take care of it. You must satisfy the imperial grandmother." Kangxi said suddenly, this time The reason why Concubine Yi is included this time is because Ma Guan is pregnant and many things are inconvenient.

"The concubine takes the order!" The three suppressed the joy in their hearts and stood up to take the order.

The Empress Dowager said disapprovingly, "What birthday are you celebrating? You still have to go to Shengjing to worship the mausoleum."

Because last year's victory in the San Francisco War, Kangxi was overjoyed, so he decided to go to Shengjing to worship the mausoleum this year.

"Grandmother, let your grandson be filial. After congratulating you on your birthday, grandson will go to Shengjing." Kangxi spoke respectfully, but there was no doubt about it. The Empress Dowager shook her head and laughed, and said nothing more.

The noble concubine who was hiding in Chengqian Palace heard that the three emperors had gone to Yonghe Palace, and was extremely remorseful. Hearing that the emperor asked the three concubines to organize the birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager, she was even more furious.

Why is her luck so bad?If she was present, the emperor would definitely let her join in.

Looking at the sachet she just got, a look of sternness flashed in her eyes, Concubine De is too bullying, so don't blame her for being ruthless!
