[Qing Chuan] Have a meal in the harem

When receiving the oral order from Qianqing Palace, Yi Min was still choosing materials for new clothes with Zhuo Yuan.

"Let's make two pieces, one in concubine sage color and one in light green. The one in sage concubine color is embroidered with grape patterns, and the light green one is embroidered with some flowers and plants. I remember you made a set some time ago. Silk lotus gem head face, it must look good with this one..."

"It's cold, sew a layer of lambskin inside, add a circle of fluff around the neck and cuffs, and by the way, there is a cloak, there is still enough material left, enough to make another cloak, just perfect for a set... "

The little eunuch who passed on the word of mouth was in vain in Yongshou Palace, and was brought to Chengqian Palace with a purse stuffed by Qingmei. At this moment, he was conveying Kangxi's order respectfully with lowered eyebrows and pleasing eyes.

Because the imperial concubine was watching from the side, and there were rumors in the palace that the imperial concubine and Concubine Dong Shu had a very good relationship, so the little eunuch said very tactfully: "The emperor said, Dong Xiaozhu has always been diligent and gentle, and this time the empress dowager went to Tangquan to recuperate. The emperor is a little worried. So let Dong Xiaozhu and the three concubines go together to take care of the Empress Dowager, and serve the Empress Dowager on behalf of the Emperor every day..."

I didn't listen to the words that followed, and now Yimin only had two words in her mind: Empress Dowager, Serve Every Day, Empress Dowager, Serve Every Day...

a bolt from the blue!

With tears in her eyes, Yimin said happily: "It is my concubine's blessing to serve the empress dowager. The emperor trusts me so much. I will never let down the trust of the emperor. I will definitely serve the empress dowager well. Please rest assured yes."

Touching the purse in his sleeve, the little eunuch was moved to tears, he choked up and said: "Master Dong is so sympathetic to the emperor's heart, this slave will definitely convey it to the emperor."

Tears finally fell from her eyes, and Yimin smiled with tears in her eyes: "I don't know when the Empress Dowager will leave, I should make preparations early so that I won't miss the time when the Empress Dowager is going out?"

The little eunuch raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears, and he said with admiration, "The young master is really careful. No wonder the emperor chose the young master to serve the empress dowager. The empress dowager will leave in two days. The young master and the two concubines will choose to accompany her today." Personnel, report to Kunning Palace, and the Empress will arrange the itinerary."

The tears fell faster and faster, picked up the handkerchief and wiped it lightly twice, Yi Min first praised the empress for being so virtuous, and then asked: "Which two other concubines will be traveling together this time? "

What two unlucky ghosts are there?Just say it and make me happy.

"Returning to the young master, it is Concubine Tong and Concubine Guo Luoluo. The Empress Dowager was very moved when she heard about the filial piety of the two young masters, so she and the emperor named the two concubines by name to accompany them."

"Hehe," Yimin smiled softly, and Yimin admired sincerely: "The empress dowager is wise, these two concubines are pure and filial people, I am not as far away as them!"

The pure and filial Concubine Tong Shu and Concubine Guo Luoluo are desperate at the moment.

Guo Luoluo Lanjin sent off the eunuch who sent the letter with a stiff smile, and poured three cups of cold tea to put down the fire, only then did she control herself a little.

Before today, she boasted that she made a wonderful move, not only won the favor of the emperor, but also flattered the empress dowager by the way, so don't admire herself too much, and don't care about the mocking eyes of other concubines, they are all jealous!

But I never expected that she would be chosen by the Empress Dowager because of this, it was Tang Quan!The Empress Dowager stays in Tangquan for half a year, and the next time she returns to the palace, it may be the Chinese New Year.

It's only the beginning of November!I haven't seen the emperor for a few months, will there still be her Guo Luoluo Lanjin seat in the palace when I come back?

That night, Concubine Guo Luoluo hid in the quilt and almost fainted from crying.

……

In Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Tong Shu's skill in nourishing Qi is much better.

Her eyes were not red, and she first saluted to the Palace of Mercy Ning and the Palace of Qianqing respectively, and then asked the maid beside her to stuff a big red envelope into the eunuch who sent the letter.

Only then did he say flatly: "My little master knows, please tell the emperor, and say that this little master will live up to the emperor's entrustment, and serve the empress dowager wholeheartedly, so that the emperor can just relax."

As soon as the little eunuch left, she went back to the room, closed the door, her expression fell, and she gritted her teeth and said to her confidant: "I knew that the empress dowager always disliked me, she pretended to be like something Yes, if I really value it in my heart, why does she always block me every time the emperor wants to grant me a position!"

With hatred and grievance in her heart, Concubine Tong finally shed tears and said: "Is there something wrong with me? Since entering the palace, I have never once bumped into her. As long as I am not sick and can't get up, I will greet her on time. The birthday gift is even more thoughtful every time, why does she look down on me, she will suppress me whenever she has the opportunity..."

But no matter how bitter the three of them felt, facing the congratulations of the other concubines gloating over their misfortunes, they each put on an expression of righteousness and awe-inspiring to share the worries of the king, and reported the entourage to the queen without a moment's delay.

……

Holding a wounded heart that was comforted by Zhuo Yuan for a long time, Yimin finally returned to Yongshou Palace after "meeting" the three sympathetic concubines.

She thought superstitiously: Am I offending any god?Why are you so unlucky.

That's right, everyone, including Yimin herself, thought that the empress dowager really liked concubines Guo Luoluo and Concubine Tong, and concubine Dong Shu was a pitiful little girl who was implicated.

Everyone is embarrassed to stimulate | her.

After making a note of these two bastards in the small notebook, Yimin began to worry about the maids in the house, who is this taking away?Who left the housekeeper?

Yi Min, who has some motherly thoughts in her heart, is entangled to death, and she is worried about keeping anyone behind, wishing to pack them up and take them away, and watch them every day, what if something happens to her when she is not around?

Overestimating the importance of oneself is a mistake that almost everyone makes, and in the next second, Yi Min was slapped in the face.

She asked, "Which one of you wants to stay?"

Xiao Linzi is the only eunuch in Yongshou Palace, and he must be included in the accompanying list, so he just stood aside without saying a word.

The passivity in Qingmei's character was revealed at this time. After hearing Yimin's question, she hesitated and said: "My lord, or else I should stay here and let Luliu go with you. I am afraid of collisions. What, if you can’t help the young master, let’s not say it, and will cause trouble for the young master, it’s better to stay in the palace and let the young master look after the house.”

"Let's stay here as a servant, Sister Qingmei is most familiar with the little master's preferences, whether it's needlework..." Lu Liu also said hastily.

Xiaotao said in a panic, "The slaves are clumsy, it's better to leave the housekeeper..."

Xing'er also said: "Slaves are also..."

One raging soldier, one raging raft, this sentence Yi Min understands.

It's been a long time living in Yongshou Palace with Yimin, and even the most ambitious Luliu has been eroded by his fighting spirit, and he only wants to be a rice worm.

After being deeply depressed, Yimin chose Luliu and the oldest Xing'er with a stern face, and went back to the house to count the silver bills to soothe her hurt heart again.

There are only two days, but there are many things to be busy. After submitting the accompanying list to Kunning Palace, Yimin's room was busy, not only to prepare clothes and daily necessities, but also to leave behind Qingmei and Xiaotao explained various matters.

More importantly, Yimin is different from others: she can eat!It is not generally edible.

Since the Empress Dowager likes to go to the palace to recuperate, the living standard there will not be too bad, but Yimin not only eats a lot, but she also thinks a lot. I just think that the treatment of the Empress Dowager must not be her little one. Concubine concubine can be compared.

In line with planning for the worst, Yimin generously took out 20 taels of silver and asked Xiao Linzi to send it to the dining room, and asked the master chefs to rush to make some food for the night.

I also bought some rice noodles, lotus root noodles, camellia noodles and other things that can be used for supper to ensure that I will not be hungry under normal circumstances.

Then he watched Luliu run towards Tai Hospital with a huge sum of 50 taels of silver.

Half a day later, Yi Min looked at the bottles and cans in front of her, feeling a sense of security spontaneously.

"My lord, this bottle is for trauma, this one is for ginger candy, if you have a cold, you can drink it with water to relieve it, and this one is for motion sickness..."

Finally, Luliu also took out something that caught Yimin's eyes: a 20-year-old ginseng!

Yimin felt that she still underestimated Luliu, and with that 50 taels of silver, she was able to get ginseng, what kind of skill is this!

"My lord, this is newly received by Imperial Physician Zhao. The servant promised him 60 taels of silver in private, but the money hasn't been paid yet. Look, my lord..."

Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world. After feeling a lot of emotion, Yi Min decisively paid for ginseng.

There are many good things in the palace, but they will not fall into your hands for no reason. If you don't have the ability to get them without spending money, you can only pay for them obediently.

As for repudiation?If you are not afraid of being blacklisted by the hospital, you can try it.

After the basic survival problems are solved, there will be higher-level needs.

Strolling over to Lvliu for a look, and checking the big and small bags again, Yi Minniao sneaked back into the house, took out the box containing the banknotes, and asked if he wanted to take all the banknotes away. Question, Yi Min struggled for a while, reluctantly gave up.

However, she still took 2000 taels of silver bills and a large bag of broken silver horns, which was more than the sum of all her expenses during the six months of entering the palace.

When going out and spending money is indispensable, Yi Min can still figure out what money can be saved and what money can't be saved.

……

In terms of control over the harem, Kangxi is much better than his grandson, especially when he intentionally drew attention to Yimin, Concubine Tong Shu and Guo Luoluo Lanjin.

Even though it wasn't so outrageous that it penetrated every corner, the performance of the concubines that night was still presented in his case.

Turning over one by one, the reactions of the three people were all expected, but he was amused by Concubine Dong Shu's preparations, he laughed and shook his head and said: This reaction is also a bit exaggerated.

He conveniently sent this secret report to the Empress Dowager, not only to let his imperial grandmother have an impression of the concubines, but also to use this to please the imperial grandmother who was angered by him.

In the past two days, the imperial grandmother saw that he was quite unhappy, so she wanted to let the imperial grandmother have fun and calm down.
