[Qing Chuan] Have a meal in the harem

On the third day after the fourth elder brother Saiyinchahun's full moon feast, the second elder brother Chenghu started to get sick again.

Yimin, as usual, sent some supplements, went to express condolences, and didn't pay much attention to it.

It's not that she is cold-blooded, but that Elder Brother Chenghu gets sick too often, and as a concubine, she is really not suitable to have more contact with the queen's son, if she gets into any trouble, it will be a disaster.

Although she knew that this little elder brother would die young, but forgive her for not being an imperial doctor, nor having such an excellent memory, she could remember when he died.

When she first entered the palace, several times she thought that this little guy was going to die, but he always survived, and as time passed, Yimin didn't care too much and just let nature take its course.

Just like this time, even though the illness was severe, until Concubine Hui Nala gave birth to the fifth prince, Chenghu's condition did not worsen, and there were signs of improvement.

Yi Min thought that this time was the same as before, it was a false alarm.

Because the first prince was seriously ill, the third elder brother's baptism was not a big deal.

In the main hall of Yanxi Palace, Yi Min followed the crowd and put a small golden naked child into the wash basin, and Yi Min walked to her seat.

Unexpectedly, just halfway there, a eunuch stumbled in and yelled loudly, "Your Majesty, the second elder brother of your Majesty is dying soon, Your Majesty the Empress, please come over!"

Kangxi, who was still smiling, suddenly changed his face, and angrily said: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

The little eunuch wiped his tears and cried: "The second elder brother had a fever this morning, but it subsided after a while. Thinking that today is the fifth elder brother's third baptism, the empress did not tell the emperor, who Thinking about half an hour ago, the second elder brother developed a fever again, and it couldn't go down no matter what, the imperial doctor said it couldn't be done..."

Staggering two steps, Kangxi showed sadness, left the crowd without saying a word, and rushed to Kunning Palace in a hurry.

The people who were left at the same place looked at each other in blank dismay. Seeing that Concubine Gui and Concubine Tong had gone to Kunning Palace with the emperor, those with chariots took chariots, and those without chariots ran on two legs, and went to Kunning Palace respectively.

When she walked to the door, Yi Min looked back with a sense of feeling, the wet nurse was holding the fifth elder brother at a loss, Concubine Hui's face turned blue, the fifth elder brother might have sensed the change in the atmosphere, and was crying loudly.

What a disaster!

Kangxi didn't know what happened after that, but when the queen saw the mother and son, she might think of the pain of bereavement today.

……

Even if you rush at the fastest speed, you are still one step too late.

When everyone arrived in a chariot that was bumpy due to the speed, Brother Chenghu had already died!

This little elder brother, who is less than three years old, didn't even wait for his Huang Ama to come to see him for the last time.

Before entering the room, Yimin heard the queen's mournful cry.

Different from the gentle and soft voice in the past, it was a sharp and stern voice, which made Yi Min's heart sink, and her hurried footsteps slowed down instantly, and she was in a dilemma for a moment.

At this time, the person in the house is not the empress of the Qing Dynasty, but a mother who lost her beloved son. Is it really okay to go in and disturb her like this?Yimin couldn't help hesitating.

But she still went in bravely, because she was afraid of being blacklisted by Kangxi, and because it was not a problem to block the door, there were still people behind.

The outer room was already full of people, but there were court ladies who moved the embroidered pier, but no one dared to sit down.Seeing this posture, Yi Min quickly lowered her head and moved to Zhuo Yuan's side in small steps.

Sensing her movement, Zhuo Yuan blocked her behind calmly. Because of her evasive movements, she was only seen by Concubine Tong who was beside her, but she didn't say anything.

Through the bead curtain, one can vaguely see the queen being held in the arms of the emperor, crying uncontrollably, and occasionally a few words of comfort from the emperor can be heard.

"Don't hurt yourself..."

"Chenghu is a good boy, he wouldn't like to see Er Niang so sad..."

Yi Min swears that she didn't do it on purpose, she just subconsciously looked at Concubine Zhang, oh no, Mrs. Zhang.

On the night of Da Gege's death, she cried even more crazily than the current queen, but she didn't get a word of comfort from Kangxi, and the queen didn't care about her, even Da Gege's funeral was a little rough.

Zhang Guiren stood against the wall expressionlessly, she was very keenly aware of Yimin's gaze, and looked straight back.

Yi Min was taken aback, but before she could look back, Zhang Guiren found out that the person looking at her was Concubine Wen, he was taken aback for a moment, then he restrained the sharpness in his eyes, and nodded gently towards her.

Yi Min also nodded in embarrassment, not daring to look around casually.

The people in the room, except for the sound of breathing, there was no other sound, it was deathly silent.

After standing for less than a stick of incense, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager came. Because of the matter of sealing the harem earlier, the grandparents and grandchildren were in a cold war for a few days. Kangxi did not enter the gate of the Palace of Compassion and Peace for half a month. At the moment, it seems that the suspicion has been resolved.

Yi Min hid behind Zhuo Yuan and saluted, when she got up, she looked slightly away and saw Concubine Hui.

She even came!

And with a mournful face, wiping tears with a handkerchief, as if he was also grieving over what happened to Brother Chenghu.

The death of the first prince is a major event, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang looked serious, seeing the people in the room, she waved her hand impatiently and said: "What does a group of people look like around here, all go out!"

So... everyone left the house.

When they got outside, everyone looked at the noble concubine and asked with their eyes: Are we waiting here, or are we going back to our respective houses?

The Empress Dowager only said it, but didn't tell her to leave Kunning Palace, so should she go or not?

Zhuo Yuan didn't speak, she found a sheltered place on the porch and stood there, leaving a place for Yi Min.

This... everyone understands.

Form a circle in twos and threes, and stand in a row under the corridor.

After standing for half an hour, first the crying in the house subsided, then the imperial physicians all retreated, and Kangxi came out in person, helped the two queen mothers with reddish eyes onto the chariot, and watched the chariot leave.

During the whole session, except for saluting, everyone was as quiet as a chicken, wishing they could shrink into the ground.

After seeing off his grandmother and aunt, Kangxi turned his head to look at the concubines in the corridor, his eyes swept over every face, and every time he looked at a person, the other person would lower his head, until the last head lowered, he opened his mouth and said: "Go back, don't come to Kunning Palace to pay your respects during this time."

After speaking, he returned to the house by himself.

It was only then that the people in the corridor dared to disperse, each of them left Kunning Palace with light footsteps, without daring to breathe.

……

Yongshou Palace and Chengqian Palace were not on the same road, there were many people, Yi Min and Zhuo Yuan didn't talk much, they got into their chariots and left.

Speechless all the way.

After entering the gate of Yongshou Palace, Yi Min let down the young eunuchs who were carrying the sedan chair, and said to Lu Liu, "Bring me Xiao Linzi and Qingmei."

Luliu was about to take orders, when she added: "There is also Xiao Shuanzi who takes care of Zhaocai, let's call here too."

Not long after, several people gathered in the main hall, Yimin said in a deep voice: "Second Elder Brother died young."

Seeing panic and confusion on the faces of several people, she said again: "I see that the emperor and empress feel very uncomfortable. In these days, everyone in Yongshou Palace must restrain everyone, and don't give anyone any excuses!"

Everyone solemnly said: "Yes!"

Yi Min said to Xiao Linzi: "When you go to the dining room to pick up food these two days, take what you have, don't order or pick and choose, and pick less meat and fish, and don't argue with others! Also restrain your subordinates. people."

Kobayashi nodded yes.

She turned to Qingmei again, "Qingmei, you restrain the little maids below, don't go out if you can, and don't wear bright clothes before and after."

At last……

"Little Shuanzi, Zhaocai is lively and active, and occasionally runs out of Yongshou Palace. You should pay close attention to it during this time, and don't let it run around."

"Lu Liu, you should always pay attention to the news and movements outside, and notify me immediately if there is anything wrong!"

Sitting on the chair and looking down for a long time, I felt that there was nothing wrong, so I asked several people to go down and make arrangements.

He also refused the service of several young maids, saying that he wanted to go to the back room to sleep for a while.

Now everyone in Yongshou Palace knows that only Qingmei and Lvliu can enter the dormitory of Concubine Wen, and no one else has to think about it.

……

In the dormitory, Yi Min did not fall asleep.

To put it bluntly, her adaptability has been trained by Xiao Zhuang in the palace, let alone standing for half an hour, even kneeling for half an hour is not a big problem.

She got herself a cup of tea, took a sip and put it down. The tea was brewed before going out, and now it was cold and strong, making it hard to drink.

Brother Chenghu died young.

She thought about these six words over and over several times, and her thoughts gradually became clearer.

Although the emperor and empress seem to be heartbroken now that the only legitimate son has passed away, the desire to have another direct prince will definitely become more urgent in the near future!

The emperor needs a son, the queen needs a son, and the Hesheli family needs an elder brother.

The emperors of the Qing Dynasty were all like this. Even though he was born as a concubine, he was obsessed with having a concubine heir. He didn't know if it was the confidence he lacked, so he insisted on making up for it in his children.

But no matter what, whoever takes the lead during this time will die!

The emperor can't find a place to vent his anger!It would be better if the one who died young was an ordinary elder brother, but the one who died young was the legitimate son, the only one.

This was also a big political blow to Kangxi, who had always claimed to be partial to Sinology and to pay attention to concubine concubines. Don’t you see, when San Francisco was pacified, Kangxi disregarded the ancestral system and canonized Yinreng, who had just turned one year old, as the prince .

Isn't it just to express to the world: Does the Qing Dynasty have an orthodox heir?

Yimin sighed: I need to be more honest during this time, and I won’t go to Zhuo Yuan’s place for the time being.

While thinking about it, she removed the heavy hair accessories on her head, and she ordered all the green plums and green willows to go out, and she didn't want outsiders to come in the bedroom, so she changed into homely clothes by herself.

Looking at the hair accessories on the dressing table specially matched for the fifth elder brother's third baptism, Yi Min remembered: It seems that the fifth elder brother's third baptism has not been completed yet!

To say that Concubine Hui and Fifth Elder Brother were really unlucky enough to catch up.

And... the three rites are a ceremony meant to bless, and it is somewhat unlucky to be interrupted in this way.

Outsiders don't take it too seriously, but the child's mother certainly doesn't care!

……

Concubine Hui was indeed furious, but she had brains and knew that she couldn't show her dissatisfaction at this time, so she could only cry while hugging fifth elder brother behind her back, shut the gate of Yanxi Palace tightly, and kept silent about the three rites.

Throughout April, the harem of the previous court was under Kangxi's wrath. Several ministers of the former court were punished and demoted, while the harem...

Mrs. Lin Jia's disgrace in front of the imperial court was slapped into a promise, and there were several who were always there and promised to be beaten back to concubine concubine directly. From promotion to demotion, the whole process did not exceed three months.

For 21 days in a row, Kunning Palace closed its gates tightly. After dealing with Brother Chenghu's funeral, the Empress was overly sad and fell ill.

Concubine Tong is the one who takes care of the harem these days. It was originally supposed to be Concubine Zhaojia, but because of the serious matter, Concubine Zhaojia did what she said and refused.

Later, Zhuo Yuan complained to Yi Min in private: At this time, the palace power is so noisy, it is better not to, and Concubine Tong has never touched it before, and wants to have a good time, otherwise no normal person would take this hot potato.

Yi Min felt that life was hard for secretly adding meals in the small kitchen for a month in a row!

The main concubine can report to the queen to build a small kitchen in her own palace, but it doesn't mean that she won't take meals in the big dining room. A small kitchen can only have two stoves at most, and she can cook some delicate side dishes and so on. , and mainly vegetarian pasta.

The real hard dishes and big dishes still have to go to the dining room to pick up and buy them.

"Fortunately, there is your goat's milk to rub, otherwise I would lose weight." Holding Zhaocai and taking a deep breath, Yimin sighed dejectedly.

The cow’s milk and goat’s milk in the imperial palace are sealed jars one by one, and you can get one jar as soon as you take it. Even a big belly can’t drink so much, and the rest of the goat’s milk can’t be wasted. Liu San did it.

Keep the fortune-making share, and the rest is just enough for each of them to have a big bowl, so no half drop will be wasted.

Seeing that his rations were being drunk again, the lucky meow yelled, and he raised his paw to give it to the shameless human who snatched food from cats.

Yimin shifted her seat flexibly, and Yimin avoided it precisely.

Although the kitten's nails have been carefully cut and smoothed, they still hurt, especially since there was no vaccine available in the Qing Dynasty, so it's better to be careful.

"Oh, why are you so angry? I paid for all of this. What's wrong with taking a sip?"

I don't know if he understood this sentence, Zhaocai closed his mouth, turned around and pointed his little butt at Yimin, looking autistic.

Amused Ome on the side.

Yi Min also smiled, "Don't be angry, how about adding a small dried fish to you today?"

Just saying it doesn't count, and let Qingmei go to the jar to take out the salt-free small dried fish customized for Zhaocai, and shake it in front of Zhaocai.

The round cat's eyes opened at once, jumped and bit the dried fish, jumped lightly from the table to the ground, and ran out of the room with the dried fish in its mouth. Xiao Shuanzi and Yimin at the side gave a report and hurriedly chased after him. up.

Zhaocai is too lively, and Xiao Shuanzi is also very hardworking. In just over two months, his running speed has increased a lot.

After they all went out, Yi Min put away the smile on her face, "Tell the respect room to hang up the green head card of this palace."

The court lady standing on the side of the room bowed and left the room in silence.

In this small election, the Dong family took advantage of their position to send in three court ladies who had been in the family for a long time. They had a clean background and their families were under the control of the Dong family.

Although it sounds a bit powerful, but after being concubine, everyone in the Dong family and some other relatives showed a lot of enthusiasm for Yimin. In the past, the support was only lip service, but now it is all kinds of convenience.

Qingmei was a little worried, "Niang Niang, isn't it too early to put up the green card at this time?"

No wonder Qingmei said so.

During this period of time, Kangxi was heartbroken, but he didn't stop summoning his concubines, so he just recruited. You are the emperor and you are the biggest. To put it bluntly, it was the queen's son who died, not their son, and they were not sad !

But Kangxi picked his nose and eyes at these concubines, and when he saw them happy, he said that they were gloating, and he was sad when he saw them.He also thought that he was disappointed and was extremely difficult to serve.

Even Yimin was reprimanded twice.

Fortunately, her menstrual period came within two days, and Yimin almost happily went to the respect room to register, and spent a lot of money to delay the inspection for a few days.

Taking a look at Qingmei, Yimin said helplessly: "It's already the seventh day, it would be shameful to delay any longer, the emperor knows it well."

During this period of time, she was not the only concubine who reported the menstrual affairs. Originally, the mother and the imperial physician's inspections were meaningless, and they didn't go into details, but Kangxi suddenly got into trouble, and the inspections became stricter.

Those who really had menstruation like Yimin were okay, but those who cheated were miserable. Not only were they fined, but they were also banned for three months, as a warning to everyone else.

"And it's almost May, the peace of Kunning Palace has been restored, the emperor should also..." Yi Min gave Qing Mei a look of 'you understand'.

……

Kangxi is indeed normal.

On the second day after Yimin hung the green card, she was told by the respect room that she was ready to pick her up.

There is another advantage of being the lord of the first palace: Kangxi will come to your palace when you go to bed, instead of washing it yourself and sending it to your door.

Because of this, palaces with leading concubines are always more popular, and those low-ranking concubines also prefer to live in such palaces.

After all, in this way, the chances of meeting the emperor will be much higher. If the empress is unwell, she can be pushed out to serve the emperor. If she is lucky enough to conceive an elder brother or a princess, she will have a secure life .

Because she received the notice early, Yimin washed and dressed as soon as she arrived, and stood at the door in person waiting for Kangxi to come.

Kangxi was sitting on a dragon chariot, and from a distance, he could see Concubine Wen wearing a light blue cheongsam with a few elegant palace flowers on her head. When she got close, she could still see a peaceful smile on her delicate face.

Seeing her coming up, Kangxi grabbed her hand, and seeing that her hand was slightly cold, he reprimanded Qingmei and others beside him: "Why do you let your mother stand at the door like this, what should you do if you catch the cold?"

Qingmei hurriedly knelt down and said: "The emperor let me tell you, the slaves and servants also persuaded the empress to go back to the house, but our empress wanted to see the emperor earlier, so she insisted on waiting here..."

Only then did Yimin Yingying say: "Your Majesty, don't blame them, this is all the meaning of the concubines, how can they be the masters!"

While leading her into the house, Kangxi blamed: "Didn't I ask Wang Quande to tell you that you don't have to come out to pick her up? Why are you so disobedient?"

"But if you stay in the house, you won't be able to see the emperor for the first time, and you can wait at the door for the emperor to come, and the concubine will be very happy. How can I feel cold."

Seeing that she seemed to be taking it for granted, Kangxi also felt ironic in his heart, and his behavior became more gentle.

Yimin can always maintain a good position in the harem, and a very important point is her attitude towards Kangxi.

No matter what, she will have to deal with this man for the rest of her life and for decades to come. Even if she doesn't treat him as a lover or friend, she must not show a little alienation.

So Yi Min thought of a way, no matter other time, as long as he is alone with Kangxi, forget about himself, think about him in everything, share with him what he thinks delicious, and say something interesting to him Listening to him, I feel cold, so I worry about whether he is cold...

Just like an experiential actor, he regards himself as a woman who loves each other deeply.

To be honest, it was quite difficult. At first it was difficult to enter the play, but later it was difficult to get out of the play. I couldn't get out of the play several times. I almost thought I fell in love with Kangxi, and was scared awake by my own eyes at night.

Fortunately, with the improvement of time and acting skills, over time, she can not only enter the scene in a second and switch freely, but also figure out a lot of tricks by herself based on the reaction of the other party.

It can be seen that people's ability to adapt to the environment is really powerful!

Efforts are not without rewards, at least the big boss Kangxi seems very satisfied, no accidents, he will summon Yimin four or five times a month, and often let her go to the Qianqing palace for dinner.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and other harem departments are also looking at the dishes. Seeing that Concubine Wen is favored and generous, and she is also the empress, the things sent to Yongshou Palace are all fine, and Concubine Wen's needs are also met immediately. .

"Your Majesty, two pots of roses have been sent from the greenhouse today, and they are blooming very well..." Looking at the other party quietly, Yi Min narrated softly.

Patting Wen Pin's fair little hand, Kangxi's tone became gentler, but the words he said were different, "I heard that the greenhouse has built a new greenhouse and cultivated a lot of rare orchids and chrysanthemums. Why are you here?" Didn’t see it in the palace, maybe the conservatory is being negligent.”

Everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Wen was soft-tempered, lived in seclusion, and did not socialize with anyone except Concubine Zhaojia, and did not get involved in the affairs of the palace.

It is precisely because Yimin is too harmless most of the time, people always feel that she will be bullied, and even Zhuo Yuan sometimes feels worried, and it is not surprising that Kangxi has this idea.

Observing the other party's expression, Yimin leaned lightly on his shoulder, and said with a light smile: "The flower house was delivered early in the morning, and I didn't want it myself. I always feel that flowers, plants and trees should follow the season and let nature take its course." Come the best."

"And..." Yimin said with a peaceful smile after straightening the other party's clothes, "I really don't know how to do this. I'm afraid I can't take care of these precious flowers and trees, so I simply don't waste good things."

"Aifei's move is quite Taoist in the sense of tranquility and inaction." Kangxi praised with a smile.

Yimin tilted her head and smiled, "The emperor is well-educated, his concubines can't compare, and they don't know much about Taoism, and concubines don't like reading since they were young..."

There is no way, forgive her for being a noble lady who became a monk halfway, it is not easy to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at a superficial level, if she is really asked to study something, it depends on whether she has the time and energy!

No, no, no, in front of Kangxi, it’s okay to not understand, and pretending to understand is just acting stupid.

really……

Kangxi hugged her lightly, and said with a half-smile: "I saw my concubine with such a beautiful heart, I thought she was a talented woman, but I didn't want to be a half bucket of water, it's a pity, it's a pity..."

"The emperor will make fun of his concubines..."

……

Early the next morning.

Yimin got up early as usual, and before she had time to change her clothes, she arranged the clothes for Kangxi and sent him to the gate of Yongshou Palace in person.

After watching the dragon chariot disappear, and returning to the house alone, Yimin stretched, and walked briskly back to the bed to sleep back in the cage.

off work off work!

……

"Your Majesty, the House of Internal Affairs has sent two bolts of soft gauze, both of which are the elegant colors that your Majesty has always loved." Yulan, the second-class maid sent by the Dong family to the palace, entered the room to report, followed by a little court lady holding a tray.

Today, there is no need to go to Kunning Palace to pay her respects, Yimin only wore a pearl hairpin, and sat on the kang by the window with a teacup in hand, looking at the scenery outside, with a relaxed expression on her face.

Hearing this, she glanced at the fabric on the tray, became interested, and asked to take a closer look, and saw that it was a sky blue after a rainy day, and an autumn-scented color, with a light hand and a tight texture.

Then he laughed and said: "It's a coincidence that summer will start in two months. I was still thinking about the style of summer clothes yesterday, and today the materials are delivered. The Ministry of Internal Affairs knows the season very well."

If there were no outsiders present, Yimin would seldom refer to herself as the palace in Yongshou Palace, most of them would use 'I'.

Being selected by Dong's family, Yulan is naturally smart, and she said: "The slaves will be sent to the embroidery room, and the embroiderers will rush to make summer clothes for the empress earlier. I don't know what style the empress likes?"

Yimin unfolded the material and looked at the colors.

"Summer is hot and dry, too many patterns will make eyes dizzy, and just embroider some cloud patterns and roll the two sides. I will use the autumn-scented one, and the other one will be used for the curtain after rain, which is better than other yarns. The material is more breathable, and it won't look stuffy."

Seeing Yulan going out, Yi Min continued to look out the window, admiring the flowers and drinking tea.

Ever since she became a concubine, she has often received such filial piety. It was strange at first, but then it became normal.

Although the number of concubines is fixed, the inventory of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not. Whenever rare items or superfluous things are brought in from outside, they will be dedicated to the highest-ranking and most favored concubines.

You don’t need to look for the name, just like the one piece of yarn and two pieces of lining yarn in the concubine’s case. It is only said to be yarn, and there is no regulation on what kind of yarn it is. Ordinary palace yarn is also yarn, smoked yarn is also yarn, and the specific distribution is as follows: What, it varies from person to person.

Working in Kangxi's harem, although there are all kinds of troubles, there is one thing that is better: Kangxi is so generous!Whether it is a holiday or a reward at ordinary times, we are never stingy in giving things.

Yimin thought bitterly: Although the boss is a bit difficult to serve, the benefits are still top-notch.

It was interrupted halfway through the sigh.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Zhang is here to visit." Qingmei came in to report.

"Your Majesty Zhang? What did she come here to say?" Yi Min frowned slightly. Apart from the big gege matter, she had never had any friendship with Guiren Zhang, and after that incident, they had no contact with each other.

At this moment, Zhang Guiren suddenly came to the door, he couldn't be here to drop by!

——I'm afraid I won't go to the Three Treasures Hall if I have nothing to do!

After staying by Zhuo Yuan's side for a long time, Yi Min also learned to walk around and take a look. If you want to know why a person does what she does, you should first see what she wants!

Zhang Guiren...should want a child?

Yimin was full of doubts: If you want a child, go to Kangxi, why come to her, and she can't make him pregnant!

Qingmei shook her head: "Mr. Zhang Guiren only said that he wanted to discuss something with his wife, but he didn't say anything else."

Everyone came to the door, and Yimin couldn't see her, so she could only say: "Take nobleman Zhang to the east hall and wait for a while, I'll go and change into the clothes for meeting guests."

Now this dress is too clean, it can still be worn at home, but it is too indecent to meet guests, and you have to wash and put on makeup, and wear some jewelry that suits your status.

It's not that Yimin is being hypocritical, nor is she trying to give Zhang Guiren a disgrace, but that one should do whatever one's identity does. The imperial palace is a place with the most rules, and too many things can be related to the royal family's dignity, so be careful. OK

Moreover, the hierarchy of the harem is strict, and high-ranking concubines always have to carry something with them, and Yimin doesn't want to be too different.

Yimin's speed of changing clothes and putting on makeup was already fast among girls, but after tidying everything up, it took a cup of tea to pass.

In the east hall.

Zhang Guiren sat motionless on the seat, neither drinking tea nor eating snacks, her court lady Qin Yu also behaved like this, standing there like a wooden stake, making Xing'er who was standing beside her Embarrassed.

As soon as she stepped into the east hall, Yimin sensed the stagnant atmosphere.

Sitting at the top, she said with a slightly apologetic smile: "It took me a while to change clothes and freshen up, and Zhang Guiren has been waiting for a long time."

She was able to safely give birth to the eldest daughter of the emperor and raised her until she was three years old. Of course Zhang Guiren is not an idiot. As soon as she saw Concubine Wen, she pulled away from that dead still look, showing a faint smile, "It's my concubine who suddenly The visit disturbed Concubine Wen's cleanliness, not to mention my concubine didn't wait long."

Smiling slightly, too lazy to guess her thoughts, Yi Min glanced at the refreshments on the small table, and asked again: "Why don't you use some refreshments, but it's not to your liking?"

Zhang Guiren said: "The situation in the empress's palace is naturally very good, but the concubine doesn't have much appetite..."

Yimin talked about hair accessories and clothing materials, and cared about the other person's body, Zhang Guiren praised Yunyun or thanked him.

The two of them played Tai Chi back and forth for a while, but Yi Min was fine, she wished she couldn't get to the point, and had better chat a few words before sending him away.

But Mrs. Zhang Gui was different, she came to ask for something, and seeing Concubine Wen didn't ask for a long time, she knew that the other party was as innocent as rumors in the palace.

"Your Majesty doesn't know something, this concubine came to Yongshou Palace to ask for something."

"Oh?" After taking a sip of tea, Yimin's face remained unchanged, she fiddled with the beeswax beads on her body and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Guiren stood up and bowed to Concubine Wen face to face. She maintained a half-squatting posture and said seriously and directly: "I want to move to Yongshou Palace!"

Blinking her eyes, Yimin was stunned for a while, and quickly motioned Qingmei to help Zhang Guiren up.

Zhang Guiren came here to beg for help, since he would not act in an aggressive manner, he followed Qingmei's support and returned to his seat, looking anxiously at Concubine Wen who was looking pensive.

Yi Min was not surprised by Zhang Guiren's request, there were quite a few concubines, concubines and concubines who came to throw olive branches, but she rejected them all because she was pure in sex and didn't like too many people.

The rumors of "Concubine Wen's temperament is withdrawn" in the palace haven't dissipated yet!

——It’s just that this nobleman...

Yimin thought for a moment, but she didn't immediately agree, but she didn't refuse immediately, "Well, I will think about this matter, and I'll tell Zhang Guiren later." After speaking, she picked up the teacup, didn't drink it, just rubbed it body pattern.

This is the meaning of bringing tea to see off guests.

Although he was a little disappointed that he didn't get a definite answer, Zhang Guiren was very knowledgeable about current affairs and didn't bother him too much, so he consciously left Yongshou Palace.

……

Walking on the path, the court lady Qin Yu asked in a low voice: "My lord, will Empress Wen agree to this matter?"

If it was someone else, Zhang Guiren would definitely say 'yes', but Concubine Wen is different from most of the harem, and she doesn't leave Yongshou Palace easily, she is a mysterious stream in the harem.

Tangled for a moment, still unable to make up his mind, Zhang Guiren simply broke the jar and said: "It is best if Concubine Wen agrees, but if not... we must also establish a good relationship with Yongshou Palace, please please Concubine Wen, it will take a long time Yes, I agree to say no..."

Between the words, it was decided that she would entangle Concubine Wen to death!

……

Inside Yongshou Palace.

Here, Yimin still doesn't know how determined Zhang Guiren is to live in Yongshou Palace.

She was just analyzing with Qingmei Luliu: "Zhang Guiren is a noble person, and he once gave birth to a princess for the emperor. In terms of qualifications, few people in the harem can match. If you come to our palace, there are two side halls in the east and west. Always have one!"

Qingmei nodded: "That's true, after all we have few masters in the palace."

Luliu asked tentatively: "Your Majesty wants to agree?" Otherwise, why not just refuse, but say these things here?

Yi Min nodded.

She leaned on Qingmei and impatiently took off the cumbersome earrings on her ears. In just a short while, her earlobes turned red.

"The emperor is in his prime, and there will be more and more concubines in the future. Instead of one day coming in who has no roots and is difficult to deal with, it is better to let Mrs. Zhang take a seat first. Anyway, Mrs. Zhang is easy to get along with."

The most important thing is that the San Francisco Rebellion in the 12th year of Kangxi is about to come. During this period, the draft has been suspended for more than ten years, and a large number of concubines who were born in coats appeared in the harem.

Like the final victor, the concubine De Wuya who gave birth to the fourth master, the concubine Liang who was born in the legendary Xin Zheku, the concubine Wanliu Hashi who gave birth to the twelfth elder brother Yinxu, and the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang. The birth mother Min Concubine Zhang Jiashi... This series of fierce men!

And too many unnamed losers.

That was the golden age of the Baoyi family, and even Yimin was ready to avoid the edge for a while.

But hibernating to hibernating, she doesn't want anyone to come into Yongshou Palace, among other things, the speed at which Concubine De and Concubine Min are giving birth is enough to make one's scalp burst, and if they are really involved, their hair will be pulled bald.

Every time she thinks of this, Yimin can't wait to tremble with her long black hair in her arms.

In order to keep this beautiful hair, she decided to pre-emptively find several friendly neighbors in advance.

However, some time ago, all kinds of crooked melons and cracked dates came to recommend themselves, which severely hit Yimin's enthusiasm. These days, there is a kind of Buddhist line of "I don't care who I love anyway".

She managed to catch a heavyweight guest today, and she was immediately moved. If she didn't keep in mind to be reserved and dignified, she would have liked to agree on the spot.

Just one question...

"You said, why did Zhang Guiren suddenly want to move to our palace?"

But Luliu laughed and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, since Da Gege passed away, Mrs. Zhang has not been favored by the Emperor, and there has always been a estrangement with Concubine Tong. Life in Chuxiu Palace is not easy!"

Seeing his mother's suddenly realized expression, Lu Liu lowered her head and chuckled.

Another point is: Concubine Wen's kindness to concubine Su Shu was widely circulated among low-ranking concubines after Concubine Su Shu was granted the title of promise and had the opportunity to go to Kunning Palace to pay her respects.

Who wouldn't want such a kind-hearted empress who doesn't like to be jealous?

As famous as Concubine Wen's withdrawn and mysterious, is her reputation for being considerate of her concubines and eunuchs.

But the former is spread in the light, while the latter is spread in the dark.

It's just that it's too boastful, and I'm embarrassed to say it to the empress...

……

The next day, Yimin told Zhuo Yuan about this while having lunch in Chengqian Palace.

"When I first entered the palace, Zhang Guiren was already a concubine. It has been seven years, except for Da Gege's illness, and Zhang Guiren went to intercept the emperor a few times. At other times, she has always been calm and not a troublemaker. It doesn't matter if Amin agrees to her, presumably Concubine Tong is also happy."

While rinsing the mutton slices, Zhuo Yuan said while eating, the tip of his delicate nose was still dripping with sweat.

Originally, people in the palace paid attention to food and sleep, and no more than three meals, but Yimin didn't pay attention to these things. Over time, Zhuo Yuan also led her astray.

Adding bean sprouts and green vegetables to the spicy pot, Yi Min said without raising her head, "Of course she is happy, and I would be happy if I were her."

Use the serving chopsticks to fish out the meat slices, carefully remove the peppercorns and peppers, and push the plate in front of Zhuo Yuan, "Today, the mutton is very tender, you should eat more."

The big thing caused Zhang Guiren and Tong Concubine to forever have a estrangement, which will only deepen as time goes by. Such a person
