[Qing Chuan] Have a meal in the harem

"Actually, I was terrified at the beginning. The Empress Dowager was a disgrace when she came up..."

"The three of us are squeezed into the same courtyard. Fortunately, I brought few people, otherwise there would not be enough to live in..."

"My knees have been swollen since the first day, and I haven't been down since then..."

Just like a child who has been wronged outside finally sees his parents, Yimin became more and more wronged as she talked, and couldn't help crying.

It was the first time that Zhuo Yuan saw her friend cry, so she wiped her tears in a hurry, and comforted her: "This time the empress dowager not only offended the Tong family, but also may not have slapped the emperor in the face, what she wanted to ask It won't happen."

Even if it is done, I have messed with her...

"By the way," Yi Min stopped crying, raised her head with tears still on her face and asked, "You sent me a letter saying that you have a surprise for me, what is it?"

Originally Zhuo Yuan wanted to show off, but now he just wants to say it to make Yimin happy.

With a mysterious smile, she whispered into her friend's ear, "I, Ama, has retired. The emperor persuaded me to stay twice, and I saw that Ama insisted on it before agreeing. I have been handing over official duties in the past two days."

Yimin: ...

Do you think I look happy?What kind of surprise is this? It's more like a shock!

She said you were kidding me all over her face. You must know that Zhuo Yuan was able to walk sideways in the harem, at least half of the reason was because of a good Ama, and Master Ye Bilong's retirement had the greatest influence on Zhuo Yuan.

"what are you thinking about?"

Stretching out his finger to poke Yi Min's frown, Zhuo Yuan smiled and said: "My ama is not in good health. Instead of working so hard, I might as well go home and recuperate. Besides, the emperor is grateful for the rapid retreat this time. The original first-class duke was inherited by Alinga, and my brother Faka also got the title of second-class duke and real difference..."

Yimin didn't believe it, "Don't fool me, if it's really that good, why didn't you do it before?"

She suddenly remembered something, and sat up abruptly, "You meddled? No, it was you, you persuaded Lord Ye Bilong!"

why?

At this moment, all kinds of storms are going on in Yimin's mind. Although she is a bit narcissistic, she subconsciously feels that Zhuo Yuan is for herself!

In the next second, her guess was confirmed.

"It was I who sent the letter to Ama," Zhuo Yuan said simply, "I didn't do it because it was useless. No matter when Ama takes office, Niu Kulu's family will not have a good successor for a while." People, why should I make wedding dresses for others..."

"But it's different now," she looked at Yimin and said with a smile, "I don't want Amin to live in this apse all the time. I can block other people's way, but I don't want to block Amin's way. I have received a message , the emperor is going to divide the harem, Amin is at least a concubine."

As she spoke, she glanced at the furnishings in the bedroom. It was very warm, but somewhat cramped and cramped, and the furniture was not very good.

When she heard this, Yimin was not as excited as before, she would not say words of gratitude, that would not only look down on Zhuo Yuan and herself, but also look down on the friendship between them.

Sucking her nose, suppressing her soreness, she said softly, "You didn't tell me in advance, I wasn't prepared at all."

Zhuo Yuan complained in a low voice: "I didn't expect that you would go to Tangquan with the Empress Dowager. I thought I would tell you after receiving a reply from Ama."

Then he thought about it carefully and said: "I think what Concubine Tong Shu did is probably expressing her dissatisfaction with the Empress Dowager to the emperor. Her mother's family is a foreign family of the emperor, and the emperor will definitely comfort her, but you don't have her family background, so you can't learn from her." she."

"Not surprisingly, the harem will be sealed at the end of the year. You have to be cautious in your words and deeds these days, and don't reveal any thoughts about the empress dowager!"

Yi Min pondered: "Not good or bad?"

Zhuo Yuan was very cautious, "Nothing, I heard you said that Concubine Guo Luoluo took refuge in the Empress Dowager, the emperor may not be satisfied with this move, the future is unclear, and there are many mistakes, it is better not to do it, it is safe!"

That's right, Concubine Tong Shu directly expressed her dissatisfaction, and Guo Luoluo Lanjin stood in line directly. No matter which one of her was a step behind, it's better to wait quietly, so as not to make a wrong move and let Kangxi stare at it, and lose the concubine who is about to get it.

Seeing his friend nodding his head obediently, Zhuo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in satisfaction, and gave a few more words of advice before leaving Yongshou Palace reluctantly.

……

Not long after she left, Concubine Su Shu also came.

After reminiscing about the old days, Concubine Su Shu saw Yimin's tired face, so she took her leave voluntarily.

……

The imperial palace is the place where you can't hide anything. In less than half a day, the news that Concubine Tong Shu went to the Imperial Hospital to get medicinal oil, and Concubine Gui visited Yongshou Palace to visit Concubine Dong Shu spread.

The latter can only make people sigh: The relationship between the imperial concubine and Concubine Dong Shu is really good.

And the former, the amount of information is too much...

……

Qianqing Palace.

"... Concubine Tong and Concubine Dong both go to the West Pavilion every day, but Concubine Guo Luoluo goes to the Empress Dowager's courtyard to accompany the Empress Dowager to worship Buddha every day..."

An ordinary-looking eunuch knelt on the ground, and respectfully reported to Kangxi that if Guo Luoluo Lanjin was present, he would have discovered that this was a small steward in the Queen Mother's yard, usually very capable but reticent, and she even tipped him a few times. Second-rate.

"I see, you step back." Kangxi said expressionlessly.

The room was silent for a long time, and I don't know how long it took before I heard a soft sigh: "Grandmother!"

There was too much sigh in these words, Liang Jiugong's head drooped more and more, he didn't dare to make a single movement, until the emperor called him, he changed from a wooden carving back to a human, bent down and replied respectfully: "Your servant is here, what is the emperor's order?" ?”

Turning the string of beads in his hand, Kangxi said calmly: "Add an agate ornament to the original reward for Concubine Tong Shu, and add a box of pearls to Concubine Dong Shu."

Concubine Guo Luoluo was left alone.

As if he didn't hear anything wrong, Liang Jiugong calmly agreed and went out to find someone to arrange.Thunder, rain and dew are all due to the grace of the emperor. Whatever the emperor treats you, it is easy to bear it.

……

When receiving the things from Kangxi, Yimin was building a cat bed with Qingmei.

Seeing the box of pearls, Yi Min's eyes flickered, and she thanked her calmly.

After staying in the palace for a long time, Yimin also summed up a set of rules: Kangxi sent rewards, if it was cloth supplements, it would follow the old rules, if there were jewelry decorations, it would be extra, and the value of the things depended on him. The mood or the importance of the matter.

In front of the gift-giving eunuch, holding the cat in her arms, she said to Qingmei: "I like this box of Nanzhu very much, you can take it back and use it to create a bureau inside, and come back with a set of tricks for me."

After receiving the purse from Qingmei, the eunuch who gave the gift smiled and withdrew.

"My lord, why don't you let Luliu go out and find out?"

Touching Zhaocai's little head, Yimin turned around in doubt, and asked, "Why are you calling Luliu? She is resting today, and besides, we will have nothing to do with us in the future. I will just stay in Yongshou Palace for the next few days." Just watch the play."

Qingmei always felt that the young master looked a little excited, but she didn't ask, it's a good thing that the young master is happy.

"Zhaocai, I will find you someone who will take care of you, please sleep in this cat's nest first, and I will replace it with a good one after a while, and then build you a small house. By then, you will also be a raccoon with a mansion." It's a cat."

Let the little raccoon crawl in her arms, Yimin scratched the little guy's stomach, and said with a cheerful smile: "I forgot to introduce you to Zhuo Yuan just now, let her hug you more later, I heard who can hug you better?" Whoever you look like, if you can get some credit, I don't have to worry about you and Xue'er getting into a fight."

In terms of emotion and reason, Xueer, the five war scumbags, can't beat his elder sister, but there are a group of people who are biased. They only want to help Xueer because of her good looks. Here, I will name and criticize Qiu Rong and Aunt Lu. .

The weather was cold and the kitten couldn't live outside, so Qingmei found a big wooden box, and the two of them made a nest for it outside the bedroom, and spread a quilt inside.

It's just that Zhaocai hasn't learned how to go to the toilet yet, and Yimin doesn't know how to teach him, so he has to help him poop every day.

Unlike Xue'er, who gets cuter the longer she grows, Zhaocai, who has an ugly cat face, still feels joyful after watching it for a long time.

Yimin felt more and more that her name was well-chosen, look, how well-matched it is!

Putting Zhaocai into its new nest, watching it sniff around, Yimin showed a loving smile like an old mother.

"I remember there's nothing in the warehouse for children, right?"

Qingmei replied affirmatively: "No." The little master is not pregnant, how can there be things for children?

"Hey," sighed, Yi Min stood up and said, "Then when you go to beat Nanzhu's face, remember to wear two sets of children's bracelets, anklets, safety locks and so on. The little elder brother has never washed three times. , the full moon will definitely be a big deal, and Concubine Nala will also give birth, all of which must be accompanied by ceremonies..."

It was only then that Qingmei realized that she was forced into the palace directly by the Dong family using her own network through small elections. She didn't care about Yimin's warehouse in Dong's mansion, and she was not familiar with the business, so she didn't realize it for a while.

She blushed and said, "This is the servant's mistake. Fortunately, the little master reminded me, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, it's not a big deal. At most, it's the same with carrying two horses of palace satin. We are not familiar with Concubine Ma Jiashu, but it's just a gift."

Qingmei became more and more ashamed, if this was the case, she would have nothing to do, but the young master would be laughed at, in this palace, fighting back and forth, isn't it just a matter of decency?

Yimin didn't blame her, but saw that she hadn't adjusted after entering the palace for so long, so she reminded her that the full moon ceremony is a trivial matter, but after staying in the palace for so many years, there will always be important occasions. It's no small thing when the timing goes wrong.

Even without waiting for many years, if Zhuo Yuan's information is correct, there will be a major practical operation waiting for her at the beginning of next year at the latest.

Thinking of this, he ordered again: "In the past two days, I will clean up the warehouse, and dispose of some old leather materials and silk materials with outdated patterns, so as not to occupy the space, and then pick out some things suitable for gift giving and put them away... ..."

Not surprisingly, in more than a month, a lot of things will come in and out of the warehouse, gifted, given by others.

The seal of the harem was five years earlier, and the form of the palace was very different from that of the 16th year of Kangxi. Yimin couldn't guarantee that she would still be the third concubine as expected.

From the current point of view, even if it is possible to hang at the back of the car, those who are in front of her will all be giving gifts, so prepare in advance, so there is no need to be in a hurry.
