The princess has the skills to keep her face [clear wear]

On the second day, after Kangxi, Changchun Palace ushered in another heavyweight person—the Empress Dowager.

Now the empress dowager is in her seventies, with silver hair all over her head, but she looks clear and energetic, she doesn't look like an old lady who is over 70 years old.

"I have seen the emperor's grandmother." The imperial concubine saluted the empress dowager.

Logically speaking, except for the empress who can call the Empress Dowager the Empress Dowager, the other concubines are not allowed to call the Empress Dowager the Empress Dowager the Emperor Grandmother, but who made Concubine Tong the Emperor Kangxi's direct cousin?When Empress Xiaokangzhang, that is, Kangxi's biological mother, was still there, Concubine Tong, who was still a little girl at that time, came into the palace from time to time to greet Empress Xiaokangzhang. The queen mother likes her grandson Xuanye, loves the house and Wu, and has a good impression of Tong's family. She treats Tong Huang Guifei not much worse than her granddaughter.

In addition, now that there is no empress in the middle palace, Concubine Tonghuang is in charge of the sixth palace as the deputy empress. Giving her some privileges is not only to value her, but also to increase her authority.

"Excuse me." The Empress Dowager signaled the maid beside her to help Concubine Tong up, and asked Concubine Tong with a pleasant face: "You were a little weak when you gave birth, and now you will be raised for a while, will you be fine?"

"The concubine is much better, thank you for your concern, Grandmother."

"Caring for children is tiring work. If you feel tired, ask your confidantes to help you more."

Speaking of the Eighth Princess, Concubine Tong's face showed a bit of softness: "Jiaojiao is very obedient, she only cries when she is hungry and convenient, she is usually very quiet, and does not let the concubine worry at all. "

When the Empress Dowager heard that the eighth princess was so well-behaved, her eyes showed surprise: "I never thought that Jiahe would be so caring. He knew that he loved his mother and concubine at a young age, and he will be a filial child in the future."

After thinking about it, the eighth princess is an unusual child. She brought a victory to the Qing Dynasty as soon as she was born. Her fate is very beneficial to the royal family and even the entire dynasty. Such a child is naturally not an ordinary person.It would be biased to judge her by the standard of an ordinary child.

"Come on, bring Jiahe and show it to Ai's family." The Empress Dowager said to Hui Ye, the great court lady standing beside Concubine Tong.

In the past, the Empress Dowager would not personally visit the palace of Empress Kangxi, but since the birth of the Eighth Princess, this practice has been broken.Maybe it's because the eighth princess is so cute, maybe it's because she is related to the fate of the country, in short, the empress dowager will come to Changchun Palace to visit the eighth princess in person every five days, and the palace people serving in Changchun Palace are also surprised from the beginning I'm used to it by now.

Hui Ye said "No", and turned to go to the nanny. At this time, the little princess should have just finished drinking the milk.

Unexpectedly, just as she walked to the nanny's room, she heard the little princess crying.

Hui Ye walked into the room with a cold face, and saw the nanny coaxing the little princess in her arms at a loss, the little princess was crying out of breath, looking very pitiful.

Hui Ye stepped forward and snatched the little princess into her arms, and looked at the two nurses defensively: "What's going on?"

The two nannies said in shame: "For some reason, we suddenly couldn't breastfeed. The little princess couldn't eat milk, so she started crying. She must be hungry."

When Hui Ye heard this, she knew that the matter was no small matter, so she hurriedly sent the little maid to report to Concubine Tong.

Concubine Tonghuang has been in the palace for so many years, she only had such a daughter, she naturally protected her like a lifeline, and used the best for everything, and the two nannies who nursed the little princess were selected from thousands of thousands of people, and their origins were innocent And the nanny who gave birth in good health.Now these two nannies are suddenly unable to breastfeed, which seems strange no matter how you look at it.If it was not artificial, Hui Ye would not believe it.

Concubine Tonghuang was originally chatting with the Empress Dowager in the main hall, talking about the little princess's daily deeds in the Changchun Palace, when the little maid came to report that the princess's nanny could no longer give milk, and the princess was starving Gotta cry.

The smile on Concubine Tong's face suddenly disappeared, and her beautiful eyes were full of anxiety: "What's going on, why can't I suddenly stop breastfeeding? How is the little princess now?"

The little princess is only a little bit old now, and she can't eat other food at all. Where can I find milk for her to drink?Could it be that she is going to the Yonghe Palace to ask Concubine De to borrow Jiugege's nanny to breastfeed her daughter?

Not to mention whether the nanny is trustworthy, if she said this, Concubine De would definitely not let it go.Thinking back to when Kangxi pitied her for being lonely at the knees, he carried the newly born fourth elder brother Yinzhen from the side of Concubine De who was still there at that time, to Concubine Tong's palace.Concubine De didn't dare to say anything on her face, but she hated her so much in her heart that when she came to Changchun Palace on the pretext of visiting Yinzhen, she either said that Yinzhen had lost weight, or that he was dirty, alluding to Tong The imperial concubine did not take good care of Yinzhen.

Later, when Yinzhen grew up, he and Concubine Tong had a very good relationship. Emperor Kangxi also praised Concubine Tong for taking good care of Yinzhen, so Concubine De stopped talking.It's just that this beam has been knotted.What's more, Ba Gege was named Princess Gu Lun as soon as he was born, which took away all the limelight at once. Jiu Gege was born a few days later than her, but no one cared about her. The princess has a crush.

In addition to the Jiugege of Concubine De, there is also Concubine Yi's Ninth Prince Yinzhen who is the same age as the Eighth Princess. If it is absolutely necessary, you can go to Concubine Yi and ask Concubine Yi to borrow the Ninth Prince's nanny temporarily.Although Tong Huang Guifei and Yi Concubine may not be on good terms, they are not bad in general.

Take ten thousand steps back and say that there is really no way to borrow a nanny, even if Concubine Tong violates the rules and breastfeeds the eighth princess herself, she can't starve her daughter!

All of a sudden, Concubine Tong Huang had many thoughts in her mind.

After all, the Empress Dowager is a person who has seen the world. Although she is also anxious, she is more calm than Concubine Tong: "Go and invite the imperial doctor to see what happened to the two nurses. Lagu Su Ma, you Going to the Yonghe Palace, it is said that it is the meaning of Aijia, and let Jiu Gege's nanny take over temporarily to help feed Xiao Jiahe a few meals. Imperial Concubine, you should pick out a new nanny for Xiao Jiahe as soon as possible—— Choose four nannies for Jiahe at a time, form a group of two, and feed Xiao Jiahe in turn, and each group cannot eat the same food."

After hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Concubine Tong knew that she would definitely offend Concubine De to death this time.But since it was the empress dowager who said it, and it was for her own daughter, she didn't care about anything else.If she can protect her daughter, what's the point of offending all the concubines in the harem?

"The emperor's grandmother has a way. She doesn't look like a concubine. She panics when things happen." Concubine Tong gave the Empress Dowager a small compliment: "Jiaojiao is the concubine's heart. My concubine's heart feels as if it has been cut by a knife, so I don't have the heart to think about anything else."

"You, you are also a mother and concubine now, why are you still so unsteady?" The Empress Dowager said this, but she didn't mean much to blame.After seeing each other, everyone had a new understanding of the weight of Concubine Tong Huanggui in the heart of the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager ordered someone to announce the Imperial Physician, and the Imperial Hospital naturally did not dare to neglect.Soon, Imperial Physicians Qin and Imperial Physician Wang, who are good at gynecology, arrived.

They first checked the pulse of the two nannies, and then asked the two nannies what food they had eaten in the past few days. After careful investigation, the two imperial physicians had the bottom line, and went back to the Empress Dowager and Concubine Tong: "Two There is a small amount of leeks in the nanny’s meal, which is mixed with other vegetables and is easily overlooked. Eating too much leeks is not good for milk production. It seems that the two nannies have been eating for more than half a month, and the milk volume will increase day by day. The days are few and far between, until there is no more milk to produce."

Concubine Tong was surprised and angry when she heard the words: "In order to prevent Jiaojiao's food from going wrong, the food for the two nannies is prepared by the Changchun Palace's small kitchen alone, such as leeks, malt and other things that hinder milk production. , I strictly forbid the small kitchen to cook food for the nannies, how could there be leeks in the meals of the two nannies? Go, let me find out who made it!"

There are eyes and ears of other concubines in Changchun Palace, and it's not that Imperial Concubine Tong doesn't know.When she was diagnosed as pregnant, she also cleaned it up carefully, but she was always weak and lacked energy, so people took advantage of her loopholes.

Fortunately, this time the man who did the tricks just gave the two nannies some leeks, so that the two nannies couldn't get milk.If that person poisons the two nannies, the milk of the two nannies will also be poisoned, what will happen, Concubine Tong Huanggui can hardly imagine.

It has always been the most difficult to investigate clearly such private affairs of the palace.I don't know how many secrets there are, and it just passed in such a muddle.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the imperial concubine, the leeks were released by a court lady named Chunzhi. Some people saw that court lady contacting a young eunuch in Yonghe Palace these days, but she herself did not admit it. Now that The palace maid has already been detained, do the two masters want to invite her for questioning?"

"Trick!" The Empress Dowager said: "Look for that maid, the identified maid, and the eunuch from Yonghe Palace. This matter needs to be investigated to find out!"

If it was an ordinary palace fight, the Empress Dowager would turn a blind eye and close one eye, but now some people have their hands and feet on the eighth princess, the Empress Dowager will never tolerate it.The eighth princess is related to the luck of the royal family, no one can touch it!

……

Yonghe Palace

First, Aunt Su Ma came to ask Concubine De to borrow Jiugege's nanny to nurse the Eighth Princess. For the sake of the Empress Dowager, Concubine De was reluctant, so she had to bite the bullet and agree.

Unexpectedly, not long after, someone from the Changchun Palace came to spread the news that someone reported that a young eunuch in her palace was involved in the murder of the eighth princess. Concubine De was extremely angry: "Let's go, drive the Changchun Palace. It is not good for someone to take care of the princess by himself. Thinking of shifting the responsibility to others. If I don't go to the Empress Dowager to defend myself, I'm afraid this shit pot will be pinned on my head!"
