starling is not a bird

"The people in the Ruyi Pavilion are really hard to send, my lady." The maid complained, holding a plate of fragrant flowers for Buddha: "There is a swarm of bees rushing to the hot stove, how many days ago I told them to draw the scroll of Guanyin, my lady is waiting. Enshrining, until today is not allowed!"

Concubine Hui took her hands out of the finger-washing bowl, took a silk scarf to drain the water, slowly raised her eyes and said, "Sure enough, I have fallen out of favor, and even you, a big court lady, were well concealed! The concubine's hoof also complained to Ben Gong that those little goblins living in Jingqi Pavilion published new articles, they didn't use green cards, they had a picture of a beauties every day, and the emperor would take the pictures of whomever he loved, and the others would spend a lot of money to invite them. Send over the small portrait of the Ruyi Pavilion. It’s no wonder that the Ruyi Pavilion has no time to take care of the Avalokitesvara of the palace, after all, the God of Wealth looks more festive!”

The palace lady opened her mouth slightly: "Oh my God, is it possible that these rascals have no rules? The Yifei Empress is in charge of the palace affairs, and she doesn't even teach them!"

Concubine Hui's expression remained unchanged: "Concubine Yi? She's not stupid, but she's just a little guy who can't be a concubine if she dies, why is she in a hurry? The emperor is just looking for something to be happy, and he will never break the ancestral rules for them Now that the Crown Prince has been deposed, Concubine Yi has many ideas, so why bother to offend the Emperor on such a trivial matter?"

The palace maid hesitated for a while before she said: "Your Majesty, why has it been so long, the emperor hasn't mentioned elder brother at all? Is it possible to be imprisoned for a lifetime?"

Concubine Hui tightly clenched the silk scarf in her hand: "Huh, Concubine Yi is covered in lard now, but I don't have it in this palace. If the emperor really wants to abolish the crown prince, how can he not let the elder brother out? The courtiers are quite a bit concerned Prince, isn’t the queen mother also for the prince? Why worry, after a while, he will know the benefits of the elder brother!”

"It's getting late, empress, are you going to the empress dowager's place today?" the maid asked respectfully.

"Go, why don't you go? If you don't go, how can you see that slut Yifei making a fool of herself? There are so many concubines, but she is the most noisy, and she doesn't even look at the things she gave birth to!" Concubine Hui The malice on the corner of Empress's mouth could no longer be hidden.

Thinking of the short-spoken Prince Heng and thinking of the pretty girl Min Baylor, the maid also smiled: "Naturally, the elder brother is rich and handsome, who can be more magnanimous than him?"

Concubine Hui sighed: "How do you know that it's not because he showed his sharpness that he attracted the Emperor's taboo? Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by the forest wind, have pity on my son!"

The palace maid stopped answering the conversation, and just supported Concubine Hui: "Miss, be careful on the steps, it's raining and the ground is slippery. This servant will support you, and the sedan chair is ready."

The Empress Dowager’s Palace of Compassion and Peace is always lively and bustling. The Empress Dowager Yi occupies the main seat, and the lace and golden phoenix on her head are brilliant. Whenever she laughs, the coral tassels and pearl tassels jingle each other. , extra crisp.The tourmaline cat's-eye squirrel hairpin inserted obliquely also shone.The other concubines dressed up according to their grades, but none of them could compare to Concubine Yi's grace.

The Empress Dowager pointed to the soybean milk porridge in the green dragon white bamboo golden bowl in front of her and said: "It's not that Aijia is partial. When it comes to filial piety, you all have Aijia in your heart, but only Concubine Yi thinks carefully all the time. You see , Just such a bowl of porridge, for the sake of mourning the family, she refurbished it in various ways, mixed with lilies in spring, and lotus leaves and lotus seeds in summer. , eating sweets and nourishing people!"

All the concubines talked about seniority, position and background, and few of them could compete with Concubine Yi. Besides, the two sons of the family were separated, so why bother to offend her at this time? The concubine learns a lot.

The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction, and said to Concubine Yi: "Seeing that the spring flowers are blooming, the Ai family is very happy. I want to make you all happy. When the winter jasmine flowers bloom, why not hold a flower viewing party?"

Concubine Yi responded bluntly: "It's rare that the Empress Dowager is interested, the slaves and maidservants will definitely have a lively time, I guarantee you will be happy!"

The queen mother nodded: "Remember to ask the emperor to come too. Ai's family is old, and they like to see their children and grandchildren in front of them. Pick a good day. The emperor is also tired. These days are not free, and he also wants to rest!"

The smile on Concubine Yi's lips deepened: "Mother and child are still connected. We only remember that the emperor is doing his best to do business, but we forgot to be considerate of the emperor's body! Sure enough, the servants are no better than the empress, you love the emperor, and only I love you Only when you have two sons can you realize how much your empress always worries about the emperor!"

The queen mother happily took a sip of the porridge: "It tastes delicious, the fifth child is good, it's true that you love him a lot, this child is sincere, and you will rely on him in the future!"

Concubine Yi smiled and said: "Madam, what you said, is it that the old nine is not good? He also said that he scattered rice noodles a while ago, and wanted to pray for Madam to prolong her life!"

Before the empress dowager could speak, Concubine Rong couldn't help it anymore: "Lao Jiu deserves to be the youngest son. It is said that the emperor loves the eldest son, and the common people love the youngest son. Who would have thought that such naughty Min Baylor is so filial now? It's Concubine Yi you What a blessing!"

Concubine Yi was thinking about how to help Lao Jiu paint the gold powder, when she was interrupted by Concubine Rong, she was immediately annoyed, and said with a smile: "What my sister said is, speaking of it, King Chengjun is the eldest son, the first one to please everyone, My sister will be reliable in the future!"

Concubine Rong waited so long for this sentence, and after holding it back for days, she finally had a chance to say: "Oh, my sister shouldn't have said this, I dare to say this to Bodhisattva, the second child is young, and his muddled thoughts offended the emperor Not happy, after all, they are still father and son, I am afraid that the emperor will turn his head and want to turn around, but we don't know, we think about the kindness of sister Hesheli back then, and we have to hope that the prince will reconcile with the emperor and his son! Don't you think so?"

Concubine Yi was furious in her heart, but she caught a glimpse of the empress dowager's joy from the corner of her eyes, and immediately changed her tone: "Sister is right, the emperor came to Yanxi Palace a while ago, and I worked hard to say a lot of nasty things for the prince. I didn't listen to it, and when my sister sees the emperor someday, she will plead more, I don't know if the emperor will be more willing to listen to my sister's persuasion!"

These words slapped Concubine Rong straight. Concubine Rong has not been favored for a long time. The emperor seldom talks to her even at the Queen Mother's place, let alone sit idle in her palace. If she didn't enjoy the blessings, when King Chengjun was unlucky, the emperor must have something to reprimand her.

However, Concubine Yi has always been able to occupy a different position in Kangxi's heart. Let alone the two sons, because of the posture of King Hengjun being raised and abolished by the Queen Mother, the emperor also loves her a lot. Palace affairs are in the hands of Concubine Yi. It is clear in everything that the emperor must go to Concubine Yi on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.

In addition, Concubine Yi is in charge of the palace affairs, and she deliberately gets close to Concubine Han, and Concubine Han is willing to reciprocate, saying good things about her in front of the emperor from time to time, Kangxi reads these things, always feels that Concubine Yi is pleasing, and she still has a lot of affection for Concubine Yi .

Concubine Rong's face turned red immediately, she originally thought of bringing the prince up, first to suppress Concubine Yi's arrogance, and then to mention her son to wash away the reputation of spying on the reserve, but now she just feels that everyone is laughing at self-consciousness in their hearts.

Concubine Jia slowly opened her mouth: "Sisters in the palace, who doesn't think about the benefits of sister Hesheli back then? For His Royal Highness, everyone should look at him, but it's a pity that the villain missed His Highness!"

Concubine Yi glared at Concubine Jia, and Concubine De also said, "The fourteenth elder brother came in to greet you and said that Prince Yu was ill, and the internal affairs were handed over to Prince Ding. Concubine Jia, please tell him, Take care of the prince!"

Concubine Jia replied with a smile: "Isn't this the right thing to do? They are all elder brothers, and they should have been responsible for supporting him."

The Empress Dowager was about to say something when the curtain was raised outside: "The emperor is here!"

Kangxi walked in with a gloomy face, asked the queen mother how she was, and said bluntly: "Why do you still have a prince and a highness? I have already abolished my second elder brother. What are you doing? Why are you confronting me?"

All the concubines knelt down to plead guilty: "I dare not!"

Kangxi's face was icy cold: "The harem is not allowed to engage in politics. This is the rule passed down from the ancestors. You women in the deep palace, don't talk about foreign affairs! Lest a sentence or two be offended, I will really punish you with fire. But it's not pretty!"

All the concubines hurriedly responded.

Kangxi stared at Concubine Jia coldly: "Concubine Jia, you have raised your son well. If I let him take care of the House of Internal Affairs, he dares to do things without permission and doesn't care about me at all!"

Concubine Jia didn't understand where Kangxi's anger came from, and quickly bowed her head: "The emperor forgives the sin, the concubine doesn't know what the eighth elder brother did to offend the emperor, but the eighth elder brother has always been cautious in doing things, and he wholeheartedly serves the emperor. Deceitful, please be careful, the emperor!"

The Queen Mother was also frightened, and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, did you make a mistake? The eighth elder brother is definitely not this kind of person, must be a misunderstanding?"

Kangxi said coldly: "He just picked up Neiwai, and the first thing he did was to see Eldest Brother. Now that the crown prince has been abolished, he went there. It can be seen that he has bad intentions. Is this to reverse the case for Eldest Brother? Although the second brother is wrong, but the big brother is even more wrong, there is absolutely no way to let it out, if the eighth brother still has wishful thinking, it is simply stupid!"

Concubine Jia was startled, and just kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please check clearly. Doesn't the Emperor know who Eighth Prince is? He has always been the most disciplined, Your Majesty will check carefully!"

Kangxi said coldly: "Concubine Jia, please kneel down, don't go around without my words, please please, I have someone else, I don't need you to come out."

Concubine Jia's face was as white as snow, and she had no strength at all when she was lifted up. Concubine Yi and Concubine Rong were frightened, and even the empress dowager didn't plead for her.

After Concubine Jia was taken away, Kangxi glanced around the concubines before saying: "Go down, I have something to discuss with the Queen Mother, you all remember, no matter who it is, don't guess what I mean! "

The Queen Mother endured it for a long time and finally asked, "Your Majesty, why are you having a fit?"

The emperor raised his eyes with a tired look on his face: "I want to see if it's true or not that their brothers are united in one mind. Madam, please close the palace gate, so that there will be fewer people making noise, and you will be able to live well. When the weather is good talk later."

The queen mother did not dare to say anything, and silently accepted the emperor's arrangement.

King Dingjun was declared into the Forbidden City by the little yellow gate, but he didn't see the emperor's face, but was fined to kneel at the west gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, bewildered.

Back in the upper study room, Kangxi spread out a roll of paper again, and on it was the messy handwriting of the elder brother: Tiger crouching in the deep mountains to listen to the wind, and dragons crouching in the shoals and other tides.

When the sea reaches the end, the sky is the shore, and when the mountain climbs to the top, I am the peak.

If Dongshan can rise together in the sun, the roc spreads its wings and hates the sky.

Who has no tiger to fall in Pingyang, when I rise again.

The tiger falls in Pingyang?Dragon lying in the shallows?Baoqing, your ambition is really not small, do you think I don't know what's behind it?The dragon can get water, and the phoenix will return to its nest, but the Yangtze River will not flow backwards, and it is even more impossible for the world to respect you!

Xiao Huangmen came in lightly, knelt down and said, "Return to the master, King Ding is already kneeling outside!"

Kangxi waved his hand: "Understood. Let him go on his knees!"

: "Grandpa, things have been taken away!"

: "Well, do you know who it is?"

: "I don't know, it shouldn't be the people of King Ding who did it!"

: "Nonsense, that's Grandpa's dearest brother, he won't watch Grandpa die!"

: "Master, why are you doing this? What if the emperor..."

"You don't understand. It took me so long to figure it out. The emperor can't see that the people around him are better than him. Everyone values ​​Dingjun Wang, and the emperor doesn't think it's a good thing. If I don't kill Dingjun Wang , the emperor will not seriously believe him! Do you know?"

: "Then what about your safety? What if the emperor attacks you?"

: "Hehe, don't worry, the emperor will be a wise king, and he will never kill his son with his own hands. What's the big deal if he suffers a small loss?"

: "I'm afraid that King Dingjun won't understand your painstaking efforts, and there will be a gap between you."

"Let's talk about what happened in the future, save him first and then think about other things! Tong Jia will make another risky move. If King Dingjun is trapped, I will lose all hope!"

: "I only hope that I can really help Prince Ding!"

: "My lord only has this kind of stupid way, the rest is up to him to understand!"
