starling is not a bird

Touching Empress Jia's skinny hands, Empress Yi recalled how enviable she was when she first met her pair of tender, white and smooth hands like green onions: "What do you have to worry about? The old nine even entered the palace to give it to me." Greetings, speaking of your eighth son, he gained a little weight in the mansion. You raised him in peace, and he is less worried outside. It was just being angered. After a while, the emperor will wake up and let you go out naturally. .”

Concubine Jia is loosely holding her hair in a bun, her hair is like clouds and mist, and her graceful eyebrows are especially touching: "My sister persuades me with good words, but people can't help themselves. Eighteen elder brothers are still young. The eighth elder brother is still under the name of Concubine Hui, what can I rely on? It will be a long time to be locked in."

Concubine Yi sighed, held the handkerchief in silence, and said for a long time: "Don't worry, don't say that our sisters have been getting along well for so many years, so I will take care of your eighth and my ninth, and I will take good care of you in front of the emperor." .I will never let you die."

Concubine Jia looked at Concubine Yi with emotion on her face, her eyes were flushed: "I know that my sister treats me well, if there is a chance, I will definitely repay my sister."

The second day was the first day of the lunar new year, all the concubines went to the Empress Dowager's Palace of Compassion and Peace to pay their respects, without waiting for anyone to mention it, the Empress Dowager asked Empress Yi, "I heard that Concubine Jia is ill, have you visited?"

Concubine Yi stood up and saluted: "Go, I went there twice yesterday, Concubine Jia was very ill, I asked for a pulse and prescribed a prescription, and I will take my sisters to have a look later!"

The Empress Dowager nodded: "It's very good of you, everyone in the palace needs you to take care of it, and Concubine Jia didn't make any mistakes. I think she was wronged when she was sick this time, and she was unhappy. Yesterday I mourned The family also told the emperor about this matter, and her palace ban will be lifted today, and you also spread the word, let the eighteenth elder brother go to see his mother-in-law more, and let the king of Dingjun enter the palace to have a look."

Concubine Yi raised her eyes to look at the Empress Dowager, she was full of surprise and did not dare to show it, when did the emperor come to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to talk about this matter with the Empress Dowager?Now how do you say that Concubine Jia did nothing wrong?For what reason?There has never been such a precedent before!

"What the Empress Dowager said was that concubine Jia was cautious in the first place, and she had never done anything wrong, so it was not because of her illness, so she should be released, so as not to be depressed." The empress Yifei responded very well.

: "This illness has wronged her in the first place. Please help her and let her family miss you." The empress dowager is an honest person, so she wondered why the emperor lost his temper at the beginning.

"My lord, when I go to the palace today, do I go to see Concubine Jia alone, or concubine Hui together?" Fujin listed the list of gifts, a little undecided.

: "How can I go past Concubine Hui? Naturally, I should go to Concubine Hui to say hello first, and then go to see Concubine Jia after sitting down for a while. I heard that the heat of Concubine Hui has subsided. It's really lucky." King Ding straightened Hands, let the sleeves of the gown be threaded into the arms.

"My lord, I also want to go to the palace to see the empress. It's been a long time, and I don't know how the empress is doing? Those villains in the palace are used to flattering the high and trampling on the low, so I don't know if the empress has suffered." Fujin has always liked the gentleness and meticulousness of Concubine Jia, and he feels uncomfortable thinking of Concubine Jia suffering.

"It's fine, you get dressed too, and we'll go into the palace together later. It wouldn't be so difficult if you don't want to hold the elder sister and the eldest brother, as long as the empress Jia concubine sees your mothers, Happier." Although Prince Ding is confined at home, he has received a lot of news in private, and he doesn't care if he can go to the palace to inquire about something, he already knows everything he needs to know.

It's the first trip out of claustrophobia for many days. King Dingjun doesn't intend to keep a low profile. The emperor is giving himself a signal. I released your mother and concubine. You should also come and confess your guilt and work for me, right?Pooh!

Passed the sign, changed the sedan chair, and arrived at Zhongcui Palace safely. Concubine Hui had already greeted her, and seeing King Ding smiled sincerely: "I hope you are here."

King Ding hurriedly pulled Fujin to salute, and just squatted down, he was pulled up by Concubine Hui: "What are you making a fuss about, hurry up and sit with me, it's serious, I know you guys are here today There are other things, but I really miss our big sister and big brother."

Speaking of which, Concubine Hui stretched out her hand to pick up the elder brother Hongkun who was in the arms of the palace maid, and held the elder sister with the other hand: "Do you miss Mama? Mama has received a lot of delicious food here what about you!"

Prince Ding and Fujin looked at each other with a smile, followed by Concubine Hui, and Concubine Hui put her arms around the elder brother to tease him, and asked him to bring all kinds of dried fruits, snacks and candied fruit for the elder sister to eat.

: "Okay, you are happy to be able to enter Gongbengong, don't think about the past, the days are getting better and better, you should come to Zhongcui Palace often, I recite the blessings of Guanyin Bodhisattva all day long, half of it is for you , as long as the days are smooth!" Concubine Hui is in good spirits.

Prince Ding and his wife asked Concubine Hui about her daily life, and also talked about her recent situation. Concubine Hui smiled: "I know you have something to do. Concubine Jia is still waiting for you. I don't care about the others. Put the child here first, I will send someone to send it to you later, don't take it away now!"

King Dingjun said with a smile: "It's their blessing that your mother loves them. You can't ask for them. Why are you rushing to take them away? I'm afraid your mother won't keep them!"

After a few more gossips, the husband and wife got up and said goodbye to Concubine Hui, and sat in the sedan chair again to meet Concubine Jia. The Jingren Palace of Concubine Jia was brightly decorated with delicate green willows.

Leaning on the palace gate and seeing King Ding's sedan chair from afar, he pushed the eighteen elder brothers beside him: "Quickly, go pick up your elder brother and sister-in-law, the little man has quick legs."

The eighteenth elder brother smiled and said, "As soon as the elder brother comes, who else is there in Emiang's eyes?"

King Ding's sedan chair was lifted: "Hey, isn't this my younger brother?"

After saying that, he got off the sedan chair and held his younger brother on his arm and said, "Come on, I'll go faster with you."

Concubine Jia supported the hand of the eldest palace maid, her steps almost staggered, and she fell in front of Duke Ding, her eyes immediately turned red: "Are you here?"

Prince Ding also had various thoughts in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel that he was selfish, and he didn't send any news to his mother, which made her worry and fear for nothing.

"It's so windy, what are you doing out there? Wouldn't it be better to wait for us to come in?" King Dingjun said softly, and walked inside with the help of Concubine Jia.

: "When I got the news early in the morning, I refused to lie down. When I got up, I wanted to wait for my brother in the yard!" The eighteenth elder brother betrayed the concubine Jia without hesitation.

: "You child, it's rare for me to see your brother, and you're also jealous?" Concubine Jia gave Eighteenth brother a soft look, then took Prince Ding's hand and said, "They all said that you are growing up, and I Why don't you feel that you are still so thin. It's rare for you to rest at home, why don't you give birth and take care of your body? You are so tired on weekdays, so you have to take care of yourself at this time."

: "Why didn't it grow well, ma'am, look, my chin is round, you touch this arm, it's a big circle!" Prince Ding raised his arm and let Madam Jia touch him.

Concubine Jia looked at her eldest son, and her heart was ups and downs: "I never had a chance to take care of you since I was a child, unlike your younger brother, I never missed him, only you, who didn't enjoy happiness with me, but was always troubled by me." .”

King Ding stopped the words of Empress Jia Concubine: "What did you say? There is no such thing as a mother and son. Don't think about it. The sons are all filial. Good days are coming!"

Just as I was talking, Fujin's sedan chair arrived, and when I got off the sedan chair, I came in and waved a handkerchief to greet the concubine Jia, and the concubine Jia pulled her down to her side: "It's so neat, you two stand in front of me, it's a painting .”

The eighteenth elder brother stood up and saluted Fujin: "Greetings to my sister-in-law!"

: "I heard that there is someone added to my uncle's room. This is a happy event. Congratulations, uncle!" Eighth Fujin turned sideways to receive the eighteenth elder brother's gift.

The eighteenth elder brother blushed: "Sister-in-law is well informed."

: "I haven't met you yet, but I have prepared a meeting gift, so please ask uncle to pass it on for you!" Ba Fujin asked the maid to hand over the box.

: "It's hard to worry about my sister-in-law."

: "Don't talk about two different families in one family!"

Concubine Jia carefully asked about King Ding's daily life, sighed for a while, and then pulled King Ding and said: "The emperor came over yesterday, looked at my illness, and said that your brother is also an adult, so you should do it for him. Share your worries, tell me, what should you do?"

King Dingjun pondered for a while: "It's a good thing that Huang Ama wants to cultivate my younger brother, but I just need to see which department is suitable, and what my younger brother likes to do?"

The concubine Jia looked at the eighteenth elder brother and said: "You are always thinking about doing things at home, and I don't understand anything, so it's not easy to ask your Huang Ama for grace. It's rare that your Huang Ama spit it out by herself. Well, now that your brother is here, you can just ask him, your brother is a hundred times more capable than you, so you won’t be wrong to ask him more when you encounter problems.”

Before the eighteenth elder brother could speak, Dingjun Wang smiled: "Your Majesty is too careful, I think my younger brother must be a good one, otherwise Huang Ama wouldn't have asked him to come out to do things. Where is his old man lacking in work?" What about people?"

Concubine Jia looked at the eighteenth elder brother with a childish face, and sighed slightly: "I don't want to say anything else, you look at this younger brother, what's wrong, just teach him, he is young, you As a brother, you should take him with you, so don't be afraid that he will be unhappy."

The eighteenth elder brother smiled and said: "I see, what brother says is what it is? Madam, don't worry, I will listen to my brother."

Concubine Jia nodded in satisfaction: "That's right."

He turned his head to look at Prince Ding again, with a worried expression in his eyes: "This time, the emperor's temper comes and goes quickly, I can't figure it out at all, I want to help you, the emperor can't even see you face to face, old eight, you Don't blame me."

Prince Ding looked straight: "What did your mother say? Foreign affairs shouldn't bother your mother. It's your son's unfilial piety that makes you worry and suffer. How dare you complain?"

Concubine Jia's expression was even more mournful: "Why dare you? My mother and son are talking about this, but unfortunately I don't have a good family to protect you!"

As he spoke, he began to cry, and the eighteenth elder brother hurriedly stood up and helped her: "My mother, why is this? I was thinking about my elder brother every day, and I wanted to see him, but it was rare to see him. I don't want to talk about getting close, how can I talk about these things?" To make brother uncomfortable?"

King Dingjun also stood up: "What my brother said is that the health and safety of the mother in the palace is the blessing of the sons. Others, the sons are not rare. I think my brother thinks the same way!"

The eighteenth elder brother smiled and said: "No, I have a good mother and a good brother. What do I expect? You can't have all the good things alone!"

Concubine Jia stopped crying: "It's good if you can think like this, how can you understand my mother's heart, alas."

The eight blessings sat for a long time before finding a chance to speak: "Daughter-in-law understands that ever since I have a big sister and a big brother, I always feel that I can't pick the stars and moons from the sky and give them to them. I feel sorry for them. Naturally, I want to give my children the best in the world.”

While talking, Concubine Hui sent someone to hug the eldest sister and elder brother. The eldest sister walked steadily and politely greeted her.

When Concubine Jia saw her grandchildren, her cheeks were full of joy, she put all her troubles to the back of her mind, hugged each other, teased her elder sister, teased her younger brother, and completely forgot about the people around her.

The eighteenth elder brother quietly stood next to King Ding, rubbed against his elder brother a few times, and put his hand on his shoulder. King Ding smiled and watched Empress Jia tease the child, and reached out to grab his brother's hand based on his feeling.

The eighteenth elder brother leaned down and asked softly: "Brother, the palace guards have been arrested for a few days, and many little servants have been sent to the Department of Punishment. How about I send you out of the palace later?"

Prince Ding nodded: "It's all up to you."

Eighth Fujin was still sitting alone in the sedan chair, and King Dingjun and the Eighteenth Brother slowly followed behind. King Ding explained the work of each department to his younger brother in detail, and analyzed the forces of each department one by one. The Eighteenth Brother was fascinated. As she asked, she remembered that she was about to reach the palace gate: "Only my elder brother treats me with such sincerity. No one else would teach my younger brother to be so honest."

Prince Ding patted him on the shoulder and said: "You and I are close relatives, so they are naturally different from others. Don't be an outsider. If there is any difference, just ask. If I know anything, I will tell you. Don't think about it and get into trouble, you know?" ?”

The eighteenth elder brother looked grateful: "I'm in the palace now, and I don't have any news for my brother. I worry in vain. There's nothing I can do. I really get an errand in the future. If my brother is sent, I will die."

Prince Ding rolled his eyes: "The more you talk, the more outrageous you are. It's really childish. It's good to be born in the palace. Being quiet and cautious is the way to protect yourself and Concubine Jia. Don't talk indiscriminately, you know? Go back quickly. I am your brother, so I will not send you to die!"

The eighteenth elder brother stopped and watched Dingjun Wang go out of the palace gate before turning back to elder brother's place.

In the early morning of the second day, Kangxi took a few younger elder brothers into the Golden Luan Hall, and all of them pointed out their errands, and everyone followed a county king to do things.Fourth brother, do you want to lose face?
