starling is not a bird

The small Buddhist hall is filled with white sandalwood incense. On the wall is a sketch of Avalokitesvara holding a jade vase. Concubine Hui is kneeling on the mat and counting prayer beads devoutly. The whole room is covered with exquisitely embroidered curtains. On the top of this one is Sakyamuni holding flowers and smiling, on the other one is King Jingfan enshrining and attaining the Dharma, hidden in the back is Mulian saving his mother, aloes splitting mountains, and in the middle hanging from the top is Mrs. Deer Mother.

After counting the rosary beads a full hundred and eight times, Concubine Hui slowly stood up. The maid next to her helped her to sit down and brought a glass of water, "Your Majesty, you have been kneeling so early in the morning, how about some refreshments?"

Concubine Hui slowly shook her head: "I'm not in the mood to eat, if you are hungry, it's okay to eat something, what hope do I have?"

The glass of clear water was only half drunk and she didn't want it. The maid looked at Concubine Hui worriedly, and cautiously persuaded: "Your Majesty, you still have to take care of your health. Even if the elder brother knows about it, he will feel sad!"

Concubine Hui had a wry smile on her lips: "If our mothers are suffering to death, who will feel sorry for them? There are a lot of people waiting for us to make room!"

The maid followed her words and said: "That's not the case. How many people in the world can take the position of empress? Enjoy such a great honor? Empress must take care of herself, and she can't let others be proud of her. Elder Brother, who else can you count on besides Empress?"

Concubine Hui stood up, stroked the messy hair on her sideburns, raised her face, she was still a beautiful woman, with years of wind and frost on her face, but the beauty of that year was still in her eyes, she smiled slightly at the maid: "That's not the reason. If it wasn't for this, he would be clean if he was hanged."

The court lady knelt down in fear and fear: "Your Majesty, please take care of your jade body!"

Concubine Hui helped her up: "What are you scared of? These days, you are the only one who is not afraid of Ben Gong's temper, so move forward, alas, if Ben Gong still has any intention of winning, I will also fulfill you, but, alas, let's go!" Bar."

The palace lady was holding the big woolen clothes, and the younger palace ladies followed along holding the hand stove and the foot stove, and the bottom of the flower pot of the concubine Hui stepped across the corridor.

Those little servants have already returned, seeing Concubine Hui with a smile all over her face, regardless of her bloated clothes, she knelt down and said unambiguously: "My lady, your food is ready!"

Concubine Hui smiled sweetly: "Hey, I was thinking of eating this right now, so you brought it here. That's right, Tao Ye, reward them with some silver screws."

The servant left happily, and Concubine Hui asked Taoye to bring goat's milk, planning to eat it with it: "You don't need to do it, I tear it up and eat it myself."

Slowly tearing the pot, Concubine Hui wrapped the oily paper in the pot into her palms, and with a smile directed several big palace ladies to move the narcissus and the fruit.

Do you want to add a fire?The second child really doesn't know how to live or die, the people under him can't control it, no wonder everyone dares to punish him, raising his eyes to see Tao Ye who is staring at him with concern, the concubine Hui slowly rolled up the oiled paper that he had seen Stuff it into the Yinhua hand stove, and watch the note turn into ashes, Emperor, you don't worry about me, do you?It's okay, I don't worry about you, I will definitely act this scene well for you!Heartbroken hopeless mother, no threat, right?I am good at this play!

Concubine Yi doesn't like chanting scriptures, and hates cleanliness even more. Her Palace of Yanxi Palace is always bustling and lively. It's warm here. Concubine Yi's small kitchen has exquisite snacks, and the owner treats people warmly and speaks humorously.Low-level concubines are afraid of the gloomyness of Concubine Hui, and are annoyed by the rigidity of Concubine De, so this is the place they like most.

"Sister Concubine Mi, look at the color of this hibiscus brocade and feather satin is so beautiful. It is not perfect to cut a skirt and match it with the jasper ring that my younger sister got before!" , is dispatching.

The secret concubine pursed her lips happily: "Your Majesty is really good at remembering, I remember everything my sister got! But thanks to your empress reminding me, otherwise the jade ring is still under the box!"

Empress Yifei smiled brightly: "It's also for our good, I wouldn't say it if it were someone else, I thought I was thinking about those three melons and two dates!"

The secret concubine blessed her body: "Knowing that the empress doesn't care about others, she even rewards us with a lot of money from her own family. How can I value others?"

Concubine Yi held a golden hairpin emerald emerald inlaid with pink gemstone flowers and gestured to the concubine's head, supporting her head and said: "It's beautiful, I reward you, why don't you kneel down and thank you!"

The concubine Xiang laughed, and dangled the coral, gold, phoenix and pearl tassels in the middle of her head: "I have gained so much from my mother in the past, this idea is also worthy of thanks? My mother doesn't blush. Empty the box is not the end!"

Concubine Yi's eyes widened: "Oh, so you've been thinking about it for a long time! No wonder every time I come here, I keep looking left and right, it's terrible!" Everyone laughed for a while.

The concubine took out a set of flower tines from her purse: "On weekdays, the younger sisters are always favored by the older sister, but now that they get some good ones, they dare not be self-confident. Come on, put them on carefully, don't say that the younger sister doesn't love you! "

The concubine Yi took it casually, and although the flower tin in her hand was light, the pattern was fresh, and the flowers made of various spun yarns were stuck to it. , the Ministry of Internal Affairs only gives it to you, it seems that my sister is old!"

Concubine Mi walked over to help Concubine Yi straighten Huadian: "Where did the internal affairs come in? Such a small thing is labor-intensive and difficult to charge a high price. We only like it, and those men don't like it anymore! This is my natal family." The new look made in the silver building was handed over by my sister-in-law during the Lantern Festival, there are two sets in total, sister is so filial, sister is not happy?"

Concubine Xiang smiled and said, "It's no wonder the two of us had a good time, why did you give jewelry as well?"

Holding a few Huasheng in the palm of his hand: "This was brought in by my natal nephew, don't think it's rough."

Concubine Yi picked out a burnt blue one and gesticulated on the dark floral satin jacket with mottled patterns on her body: "The color is a little lighter, it doesn't match well!"

Concubine Mi thought for a while and said, "Didn't your empress make a silver-gray satin jacket with square patterns and dark flowers last year? It's a good match! This one doesn't match very well."

The ladies in the court held mirror boxes and combs, and the servants carried cosmetic boxes and jewelry boxes. The room was full of romantic figures and gorgeous clothes.

"The concubine De concubine doesn't come out to see people very much these days, and the gate of the palace is closed, so you are so worried about us going to eat and drink?" The concubine was tired, and she sat down leaning on the beauty pillow and talked leisurely.

Before the concubine Yi could speak, the concubine Xiang said: "Sister, why worry about this? It's not like your son is under her name."

Concubine Mi glanced at Concubine Xiang: "You're blocking my heart with your words again, you know I'm uneasy, and you still refuse to forgive me!"

Concubine Yi said lightly: "Why are you panicking? That's what the emperor meant, what can she say? When I took the fourth elder brother away, I didn't see her promotion, and now it has nothing to do with her! The fourth elder brother has never been willing to get close to her, so it's useless to worry about it! If you are very dissatisfied, I will let you accompany the selection of girls in the spring, and you will pick the ones and send them to the fourteenth elder brother's house. I guarantee that she will be fine! "

Concubine Mi waited for this sentence, giggling: "It's still my sister who loves us!"

Concubine Yi smiled softly and softly: "I don't dare to say whether it hurts or not, but I can't let you laugh and laugh with me every day? No matter what, my sister has to protect you!"

The Xiang concubine, Mi concubine and the other concubines all laughed. Although the Han concubine is in power in the palace now, the concubine Man is still in power. The concubine Hui is dedicated to the Buddha. It's gentle and has no opinion. After Concubine Tong and Concubine Wen Xi went, Concubine Yi mainly held the phoenix seal in the harem. The emperor often went to sit in her palace from time to time, and the relationship was very good.Therefore, she has the final say on all matters in the palace, and even the Queen Mother gave her some face.

Secret concubines and concubines do not have the protection of their mother's family, and they are too pampered to make people jealous. Looking around, only Concubine Yi can be their umbrella to protect their mother and child.Concubine Yi doesn't like to be jealous, and she is generous and flattering. Before she knew it, all the concubines gathered around her.

"Why didn't Min Baylor come here? The fruits he brought in a while ago were really fresh. We always prefer sister's good things, and we're used to it!" A little nobleman started a new topic.

Concubine Yi was even more proud: "That man, with nails on his buttocks, can't sit still. If it wasn't for the family law of his ancestors, he might not be able to find him in the sky! I still have the fruit from before. I will let you take some back, he will come again in a few days, just ask him!"

All the concubines hurriedly started to cheer, but they praised Min Baylor so vigorously, and by the way, they also brought out Prince Chunjun to praise him, which made Concubine Yi even happier.

Dumbele handed over the night duty, and left the palace with his younger brother: "Although you and I are the prince leading the errands, but after all, this is related to the harem, it is better to leave the defense to others."

Fourteen Baylor rubbed his nose: "Brother, where are you going at night?"

Dumbele glanced at him: "Go home for dinner, do you still plan to fool around outside?"

Fourteen Baylor smiled: "I want to play with mynah."

Dunbeile flicked his nose: "When Huang Ama comes back, you can go there whenever you like. Now Huang Ama is not in the capital, beware of that little mouth talker!"

Fourteen Baylor sighed: "Understood. Really, it's inconvenient to be born in a heavenly family!"

The two separated at the entrance of the alley. Dumbele held the reins and let the horses charge forward slowly. They entered Baylor's mansion, washed their hands, changed their clothes and ate their meals, and then asked someone to heat up the brazier in the study.

: "Master Baylor, the servants have been following those people for a long time, and they already know who they are contacting!" A servant knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

Dumbele flipped through the records they sent up, carefully reading page by page: "Have you figured it all out? I'm afraid those internal servants have some private matters involved!"

: "There are one or two who have been placed in the outer room, and the staff have been repatriated. Those people who contacted are all Manchu surnames, and many of them are Nalan."

: "Is Master Mingzhu involved?" Dumbele asked lightly.

"It seems not." The man said hesitantly.

: "Understood, remember to send the reward from the master, and don't reveal who let them investigate!" Dumbele instructed.

Throwing the materials in his hand into the brazier and burning them, Dumbele clapped his hands, slowly took out the transcript of the report on the case, and read it carefully line by line.
