[Qing Chuan] Have a meal in the harem

In the tenth year of Kangxi, on the tenth day of May, early in the morning.

In a courtyard in the inner courtyard of Dong Mansion.

Yimin was still as usual, wearing homely clothes and a small bead flower on her hair, eating her breakfast slowly.

Today is the day when the imperial decree is delivered, and I don't know what the decree is.

The maid Qingmei frowned, this was the fourth time Gege was in a daze today.

"Qingmei, is sister-in-law still here?"

Qingmei ran out to take a look before she came back and told her: "No, Gege."

At this moment, Yimin's head was filled with various problems.She chewed the food in her mouth, panicked, and kept analyzing it with her shallow historical knowledge.

Before Empress Xiaochengren died, the palace was full of concubines, and even Kangxi's cousin could only bear the status of a concubine, so she stopped dreaming.

But concubines and concubines are also different. Some concubines have everything except their titles, and some concubines don’t even dare to drink a glass of water. of.

There is a huge difference here!

Although my family used to be coated, but the one in their house has already carried the Han army flag, and her father and brother have real power, and she is not boasting. Her face, even if it is not overwhelming, can be called beautiful and lovely. .

Guarantee is also an example of a nobleman, and a concubine can also think about it.

The point is, is Kangxi generous?

Yimin ate the small wontons, worrying all the time, but her mouth never stopped.

"Min'er!" A hearty voice came into the room.Yimin and Qingmei's eyes lit up at the same time.

As soon as Xilinjueluo entered the room, she saw two pairs of bright eyes, and couldn't help but burst out laughing. She was originally an extremely bright and generous woman, and even if she had given birth to four children, her beauty would not be damaged. This smile made her even more beautiful. The grandeur of appearance.

It's a pity that no one in this room is in the mood to appreciate it.

Yi Min was anxious: "Sister-in-law, what's the matter, you are talking!"

"Cough, umm!" Xilinjue Luoshi cleared his throat.

Yi Min immediately poured a cup of tea and sent it over, smiling flatteringly: "Sister-in-law drinks water to moisten her throat, take your time and say it's not in a hurry."

It's not like you're not in a hurry, Xilinjueluo smiled secretly.

Seeing Yimin's pitiful expression, Xilinjue Luo knew that she was faking, but she still felt distressed.

After all, it was a girl who was raised by a small group. She patted the back of Yimin's hand lovingly: "Your brother just sent a message that you and Gege from Guo Luoluo's family are both concubines. Naturally, the status of the harem will not be bad, so don't worry too much, your brother is the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he can always take care of you."

Yimin breathed a sigh of relief and showed a little smile, just like a scumbag after knowing that she had passed the exam, Yimin became lazy and leaned on Xilinjueluoshi's shoulder.

Xilinjueluoshi was arranging her hair, while exhorting her in a low voice. He had said some things no less than a hundred times, but he couldn't help but say them again.

Facing such a girl who lost her forehead since she was a child, she felt distressed from the bottom of her heart, even if she said it a thousand times, she still felt uneasy.

"If there is something missing, please send a message to your brother. Don't be embarrassed. He is your eldest brother, and it is his duty to take care of you."

"The palace has a lot of expenses, so don't save money that shouldn't be saved. If you don't have enough, send a letter to your family. Our family started in the army, and there is no shortage of money."

"You've been smart since you were a child. You know some things even if I don't explain them clearly. Remember that you must be cautious in your words and deeds in the palace. The palace is full of eyes. People are in front of others and behind. As long as you are safe and sound!"

No matter what Xilinjueluo said, Yimin would obediently respond, her gaze was unbelievably gentle.

Yimin is both the first daughter and the only daughter, but she was born to her step-wife, and her age difference with her three elder brothers from her previous marriage was quite large. Within half a year after she was born, Erniang died of illness.

When he was babbling, Xilinjueluo entered the door. He was a sister-in-law in name, but he was raised like a daughter in fact.

The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, with deep kindness and righteousness.

……

"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: The daughter of Dong Degui, the second-class captain of light chariots, is gentle and graceful, and she is courteous. Terr canonized as a concubine and enjoys the status of a concubine. She will enter the palace in three days, hereby! "

Yimin straightened her back and saluted respectfully. Although her elder brother had tipped her off in advance, it was only at this moment that she truly let go of the huge stone in her heart.

"Your Majesty accepts the order, thank you for your grace."

Feeling that the imperial decree was put into her hand, Yi Min subconsciously held it tightly.

Dong Degui, who was getting fatter in middle age and looked more kind, handed the purse he had prepared long ago to the father-in-law who came to deliver the imperial decree, and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, which imperial decree is this eunuch reading out?"

As soon as the father-in-law took the purse, there was a little smile on his dull face. Everyone who received the imperial edict would ask, and he had long been accustomed to it, and replied with a smile: "Master Dong, you are welcome. We went to Master Guo Luoluo's house in front of our house, and there are four or five families to go!"

Dong Degui sent the father-in-law who passed the decree out, and when he came back, he saw his daughter-in-law looking at the imperial decree carefully, with a daze on her face, and she didn't even know he was back.

Inexplicably softening his heart, he called softly: "Min'er."

Only then did Yi Min come to her senses, "Father is back."

At this time, less than a hundred years after the Manchu Qing entered the customs, there were two successive young emperors, and the alternation of the throne was turbulent.The royal family's slavish brainwashing is not very thorough.

On the surface, Dong Degui is the Han army flag transferred from the Baoyi flag, but in fact, at home, he still uses the Han family name more often, so Yimin calls him father instead of Ama.

If she doesn't enter the palace, she is not considered a real concubine.

Dong Degui was used to his strict father's airs, and even though he loved his little daughter with a childish face, he was always serious on his face, and said in a deep voice: "After entering the palace, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and even more Take good care of the emperor, empress and the two empress dowagers, our family looks good, but in fact it is still a little less confident than those Manchurians, your every move in the palace represents the Dong family, so you must be extremely cautious."

Yimin looked at him quietly, and responded in a low voice.

Dong Degui still had a lot to say, but he couldn't say it for some reason, and only whispered the news he had just heard from his father-in-law to Yimin.

In the end, after hesitating again and again, he still said: "Take care of everything yourself, and Ama doesn't ask you to have any great blessings, as long as you stay safe and sound in the palace."

Yimin didn't answer the words, but lowered her head, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, the sockets of her eyes turned red instantly, and tears fell down. "After my daughter enters the palace, it will be difficult to see Ama again. In the future when my daughter is not at home, I hope Ama will take good care of her health..."

Dong Degui has grown older these years, and he is more and more greedy for family happiness. He feels sad for crying for his daughter-in-law, and thinks of the joy and joy when his daughter was born.

……

Back in the yard, Yi Min's eyes were still slightly red, sitting by the window, she suddenly laughed.

do not be sad!

Two months ago, she just celebrated her birthday, which was also the anniversary of her death in her previous life, but now she survived and embarked on a different path. This is a happy thing worth sharing.

"Order, I have been praying for Ama in the Small Buddha Hall for the past few days."

"Yes"

Qingmei is very capable, and the Xilin Jueluo family is helping the flames. In less than an hour, the news of the concubine praying for her father reached Dong Degui's ears.

After Dong Degui found out, he asked the housekeeper to take another 2 taels of banknotes from the private treasury, and added them to the "dowry" originally prepared for Yimin.

……

And at this moment in the small Buddhist hall.

Standing in front of the Buddha statue, Yi Min hung the handkerchief she carried today on the candle.

The flame ignited the silk handkerchief with a "chuckle", and when the last bit was left, the hand holding the handkerchief was loosened, and the last corner of the handkerchief fell into the incense burner and turned into a ball of ashes.

Yimin stared at the ashes for a while, lit three more incense sticks, and inserted them into the cloud pattern incense burner, with a solemn face, but he was not paying respect to the aloof Guanyin.

She was kneeling quietly in the Buddhist hall alone, beside the lotus platform of the Buddha statue, was a somewhat old doll, not too delicate, but it could be seen that it was a female doll.

——Your father loved you.

——I thought about it for a long time before I realized that the Dong family had military power, and they were originally Han Chinese, so girls were destined to enter the palace. He also knew that, so he took Dong Yilan over to be raised with you. He chose it at the beginning not you.

——He really wanted to find a good husband for you, and live happily for the rest of his life, but...

Yimin raised her hand to touch this delicate face, smiled wryly, and looked at the worn-out doll with regret.

"It's just that you grow up day by day, become smarter and more beautiful, and being with Dong Yilan is like a pearl." He is also getting older day by day, and he begins to have more desires.

"But it's not your fault." Yi Min smiled slightly, her eyes gentle.

——Little sister, you are a very kind and excellent girl. It was you who consulted the doctor for Qingmei, who was still a poor servant girl, and saved her life. She has always been grateful to you, whether it is Dong Yilan’s jealousy or your father’s. Ambition, none of your fault.

"But I will not forgive them, I will not meet his expectations! I will only live for myself in the future!"

The quiet sandalwood lingers in the Buddhist hall, and in the smoke, Guanyin looks at the world with compassion.

Not a very devout believer, he lowered his head and muttered to himself silently.

——In the previous life, I took over your life in a daze. Before I could avenge you, I was ruined by Dong Yilan and suffered from illnesses every day. When I came back to my senses, everything was a foregone conclusion. The sick bed was regarded as an abandoned son by the Dong family. If it weren't for the sister-in-law, I am afraid that he would not be able to survive those three years.

Yi Min's knees were numb. She cherished her body and didn't force herself to sit on the futon.

"Did you see it?"

——This gave me another chance to do it again, this time I sent Dong Yilan down to accompany you, did you see her?

His eyes were far away, and he looked at the compassionate Guanyin through the smoke.

——It's not difficult at all, she is stupid and poisonous, but she still thinks she is smart, I just told you, Ama, that I want to enter the palace, and then someone introduced her to an 'excellent' marriage, even I was too late If she did more, she would kill herself.

Yi Min was very sad, for the little girl who died at the age of 12 but no one knew about it, and for her own fucking fate.

She looked at the doll whether she wanted to cry or not, "I can't believe it, you said, there is only such a person, such a person!" How could it kill us all?

——None of us has done anything bad, why do you trust this sister so much?

Tears fell and couldn't be stopped no matter what, so she simply ignored it, Yimin leaned her head on the edge of the desk, crying pitifully and wronged.

I still didn’t forget to lower my voice, sobbing and saying to the doll: “I’m here today, hiccup, I want to tell you, hiccup... I’m about to enter the palace, that’s not such a good place, I won’t take it with me. You have passed, you go to reincarnate!"

"I have secretly burned a lot of paper money for you in the past two years. You can take some and go to ask the ghost... Can you be reborn to the era I was in before? There is much better than here. You If you are so good, you must have a good life!"

"Hey, little sister, don't be so pitiful in your next life. You're going to study, go to college, fall in love, and eat a lot of delicious food..."

"Wow, go to his mother's feudal society, wow...how can I be so unlucky, I just graduated, how did I get into this..."
