starling is not a bird

The concubine De concubine accompanied the emperor for dinner with a slanted lottery. She also knew that the emperor was in a bad mood recently, but she served her more carefully. Wu Ya knew that she was only being dignified, so even if she envied Guo Luoluo's straightforwardness Also dare not try easily.Kangxi stopped his chopsticks, and the waiter next to him handed over the prepared hot towels, and after rinsing his mouth with clear tea, Kangxi said lightly: "Tomorrow is a serious and auspicious day, so let's hold a big ceremony and offer sacrifices to the first few. Upon hearing this, Concubine De quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Your majesty's concern is the blessing of the harem, and my concubines are really happy for my sisters!"

The emperor nodded: "They all came here with me all the way. I don't worry about it, who cares about it? You discuss it with Tong Jiashi. It must be precious and decent, and let all the elder brothers follow them to pay homage to them." Er Niang." Concubine De bowed her head and said yes, took the beauty fist from the palace maid, and lightly slapped Kangxi on the back.

After a while, the emperor asked softly: "Recently, the fourth elder brother's daughter-in-law often comes here to say hello to you. After all, it is his filial piety!"

The rhythm in Concubine De's hand didn't mess up a bit, and she continued calmly: "It's just a routine meeting. It's human nature to miss mother, and you don't need to be reminded by concubines. The fourth elder brother always remembers to ask his wife to take the lead. Xiao Yiren Kowtow in the queen's bedroom, after all, she is the son she raised, as kind and considerate as sister Tong Jia."

Kangxi smiled with satisfaction: "It's not bad for you to have such an idea. Empress Xiaoyiren is also very considerate of you. Putting the fourth elder brother under her name is to support the child. I also know that you are reluctant, so come here more. You have added fourteen to your knees, and you will enjoy your time in the future."

Concubine De stopped the beauty fist in her hand and began to knead Kangxi's shoulders: "If there is anything that you are reluctant to part with, it is all due to the grace of the emperor. The concubine can only feel grateful for the mighty grace of the emperor. Your majesty, you think too much!"

Kangxi closed his eyes and leaned on Concubine De's body: "You are a blessed person if you can be so transparent, but I think too much, I am afraid that you will feel uncomfortable seeing Si elder brother kneeling in front of the spirit of Empress Xiaoyiren and performing his filial piety. "

Concubine De giggled: "That's the flesh and blood of your majesty who uplifted your concubines. Xie En was afraid that he would be slow. How could those petty people think so?"

Kangxi has always been willing to do his best for those around him, so he took Wu Ya's son to Tong Jia's upbringing, in order to forgive his cousin's heart, and to be more fortunate to Wu Ya's so that she can give her another son peace of mind.

Tomorrow's grand ceremony for Concubine Wen Xi, the concubines who went first will share the blood food together. The fourth elder brother will kneel in front of Empress Xiao Yiren's spirit to perform his filial piety. Recently, the fourth daughter-in-law always comes to pay her respects. He is afraid of Wu Ya Seeing his son kneeling in front of other people's spirits, he felt a gap in his heart. Now that he got Wu Ya's words, he let go of his heart and asked Wu Ya to serve him to sleep.

When she got up the next day, she was in a hurry all day. Although Wu Ya could not say that she had never touched her teeth, she had suffered a lot. She returned to her bedroom to rest when it was midnight. After removing the hairpin ring on the top of her head, she took a comb and slowly straightened it. Wu Yashi closed her eyes half-closed, and a tear fell from the bottom of her eyes. The maids serving behind her had seen it long ago, so they didn't dare to make a sound, but their movements became lighter and lighter. .

The maid serving outside hurriedly went to look for the old aunt Qingyun to come and serve her. She said that it was the old aunt, and Qingyun was only in her 30s, but she was an old man who had been serving the concubine De concubine since she entered the palace, several times in a row. Going out of the palace, the concubine de concubine was reluctant and wanted to stay by her side, so she was the oldest and most favored by the empress in this palace.

Qingyun rushed in and took the comb from the little palace lady's hand, and made everyone around to back down, the eyes of the concubine de concubine were full of tears, Qingyun sighed from the bottom of his heart, and said loudly: "Madam, this servant knows that you and the concubine are The empress is on good terms, but the empress must be careful about her body, don't cry and ruin her body!"

After all the people in the inner room had gone out, Qingyun whispered to her ear: "Mother, think about the fourth elder brother. If you cry today, you will bring trouble for him!" Wu Yashi simply fell on the dressing table Howling: "It's fine if my son is snatched away, but have I ever said no to my filial piety in front of her? Now more and more people can't even see him paying my respects, and they are going to force us to break this relationship." Mother-child love! So what if I am the emperor's concubine, I have to borrow someone else's light to cry!"

Qingyun sighed lowly: "Mother, haven't you already looked away? The fourth elder brother is only good for him to be raised by Empress Xiao Yiren, why is he so unwilling today?"

Wu Ya raised her head, her face full of cruelty: "At that time, my position was low, and my son was wronged by following me. How can I say no to following Tong Jia? Even if I saw it on the road, I pretended not to care. Bengong's flesh and blood, but Bengong has not even hugged him a few times. I have no right to speak when he is married. I recognize him. But now that Empress Xiao Yiren has gone, my son and daughter-in-law handed over a sign I would like to ask An to talk about the scene, some people will not be able to see it, if I want to go to the emperor to chew maggots, so what if I am promoted? If I make a wrong step, someone will want to step on my head!"

Qingyun knew that the concubine de concubine was just stimulated, so it was inevitable that her words would be biased, so she couldn't persuade her much, so she had to use her magic weapon to suppress others: "My lady, don't think so, now the imperial concubine is gone, the concubine in the palace How many masters in the position can have the qualifications like you? Good days are ahead, even if the fourth elder brother is regretful, think about the fourteenth elder brother, and how many princesses are there, how can they be so depressed?"

Concubine De took out the sweat towel in her sleeve to wipe her tears, looked at herself in the mirror and sneered, "Qingyun, when you have been serving here all this time, you still don't understand the emperor's heart? In his heart, only the crown prince is his treasure, and the rest He kept them for fun! Look, those who have sons can’t grasp the phoenix seal left by Mrs. Niu Gulu, I guess it’s for Tong Jia’s who has no sons!"

Qingyun replaced the one in Concubine De's hand with a spare sweat towel, and smiled carefully: "Why is your empress feeling uncomfortable? That master has no son, so why don't you discuss everything with your mistresses, your empress is afraid Is there anything in the future?" Concubine De pinched the sweat towel in her hand and gritted her teeth, "I have nothing to be afraid of. Si elder brother kneels in front of other people's souls and acts as a filial son. I can praise him and be polite. I still have What can't stand it?"

Qing Yun knew that Empress Defei always felt that the fourth elder brother was not close to her, and felt uncomfortable.It's just that in order not to delay the fourth elder brother's future, the empress feared that Empress Xiao Yiren would be careless and would harm her son instead.He never dared to act like a mother and concubine in front of the fourth elder brother to get close. The fourth elder brother is also a strange person. He is indifferent to everyone. Although the kindness of life is not as important as the kindness of nurturing, he should be filial to Empress Xiao Yiren. It's just that she never gets close to her mother and concubine, and follows the rules in everything. The comparison between the two will inevitably hurt the empress's heart. After all, which of the mother and son owes the other more, this bad debt is unclear.

Speaking of which, the fourth elder brother was not in the mood to go to sleep that night. Thinking of Empress Xiaoyiren's love and intimacy before, he also felt sore. It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to be filial if I was early.Empress Xiaoyiren once told her her life experience, the fourth elder brother also admired the kindness of the concubine De, but when she met her every now and then, the concubine De concubine treated her with courtesy, although respectful but never intimate, the fourth elder brother was not without sadness.

I thought that the previous estrangement of Empress Defei was just to avoid taboos, but when Empress Xiao Yiren left, Empress Defei even kept her distance from him, and the fourth elder brother discovered that the one whom Empress Defei loved should be the fourteenth elder brother.The sensitive thoughts of young people are not willing to tell outsiders. The fourth elder brother has always regarded himself very high, and he has conceded a few times to no avail. Apart from being sad, it is even more depressing. Both parties are polite to this day.

The fourth elder brother is not jealous when he sees his younger brothers making jokes in front of his mother and concubine. Today, when he sacrifices to the concubines, the fourth elder brother pays homage to the spirit. Thinking of the voice and smile of the empress Xiao Yiren in the past, he can't help feeling sad , Crying uncontrollably, self-injured life experience.

Sifu Jin doesn't know what's on her husband's mind. Although she doesn't want to talk too much on weekdays, she urges herself to enter the palace every New Year's Eve. When she has something good, she always wants to present it to the concubine Defei, but the empress only cares about herself and her husband. Every time she came back by herself, looking at her husband's eyes expecting a response, Wulanara felt a headache.I also blame my husband, who likes to put on a face, even the younger brother is unwilling to get close to him, every time he finds an opportunity to get close to the fourteenth elder brother, he always gets a bad nose, it is really not flattering.

After carefully serving her husband to sleep, Sifujin was lying in it, unable to fall asleep after tossing and turning. Thinking of her husband's distress and self-blame, she didn't fall asleep until the third watch.

After a hectic day, the night in the palace was very quiet, but Eighth and Ninth Brothers were not sleepy at all. When the maids who had been on guard all night began to get confused, the two went out the window to see Tenth Brother. See.After finally opening the gate of Elder Brother Shi's courtyard with an iron ruler, they found that Elder Brother Ten's bed was cold. He fell asleep and didn't know anything about his master's whereabouts, so he took everyone out to look for it.

: "Brother, it is expected that the old ten has nowhere to go. He should be guarding in front of the imperial concubine and empress. Let's go quietly, so don't disturb other people."

Eighth Prince nodded: "That's natural, there's no need for Huang Ama to punish him for anything, it's just that this is an abominable slave, and he lost his master, so he needs to be punished!"

Brother Jiu snorted heavily: "This is natural, otherwise what's the use of raising it?"

When the two arrived at the dormitory of Concubine Wen Xi, they saw Elder Brother Shi kneeling alone in front of the coffin, and the two breathed a sigh of relief. They thought he was crying for their mother and concubine here alone, and they left everyone following in the outer hall. Go in, feel the cold body of Elder Brother Shi, and see that there is not a single tear in his eyes.The eighth elder brother is very distressed. He has been a human being in two lives and naturally knows that the pain that can be cried is better than the sorrow that can't even cry.
