[Qing Chuan] Have a meal in the harem

Yimin originally thought that the matter of 'exchanging the maid' had nothing to do with her.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the news came out, she was approached.

Looking at Xiaotao who was kneeling in front of her, Yimin looked confused, "What did you say? I'm a little confused, please say it again."

Xiaotao touched her forehead to the ground, and said in a firm tone: "Go back to your mother, this servant wants to ask your mother to allow this servant to leave the palace!"

"Why? Is there something wrong with your family?" She asked puzzled.

Xiaotao is only 16 years old, even if she wants to leave the palace to marry, it is too early. Normally, the maids who ask to leave the palace are all 30 years old. If the master is kind enough to give some money, it is not uncommon for them to be around [-].

Xiaotao shook her head: "I met my family a month ago, everything is fine at home."

In the Qing Dynasty, if the maids of the Qing Dynasty got the consent of their masters on the second day of every month, they could meet with their relatives through the fence. To some extent, they were more free than concubines.

Yimin is not a shy person, as long as she asks from below, there is no disagreement. Occasionally, she will be subsidized if she hears that her family is in difficulty.

Neither for the family, why is that?Yimin showed doubts.

Seeing Xiaotao's gentle face, she said with a smile: "The servant girl originally entered the palace because of her family's decline. There is a widowed mother and younger brother who can't support her, and her fiancé's family divorced, so she wanted to enter the palace for a try..."

Yi Min nodded, the treatment of the palace maids of the Qing Dynasty was pretty good, six taels of silver per year, six bolts of various fabrics, two catties of cotton, one catty of pork every month, and some rice and vegetables.

Coupled with the rewards from the master during the festivals, when they leave the palace, most of them are comparable to the well-off families outside the palace.

With a guess in her heart, Yimin sighed and narrated slowly.

"I remember that you entered the palace at the age of 13, and it's only been three years now. When we chatted in the past, you also said that your family has redeemed some fields, and life is gradually getting better. Your younger brother is also older and can take care of the family business. Oh, you said a few days ago that your younger brother doesn't want your money anymore, so you don't have to worry about your family..." Your face is full of pride and sadness.

"I also know that you usually live frugally, and when you save some money, you will find a chance to give it away. You have picked up half of the beams in your family, and you always say that you will stay in the palace for the rest of your life, and leave the palace when you are old." Let the nephew take care of himself..."

Xiaotao's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she choked up and said, "Your Majesty still remembers, these are just what the servants said when they were chatting."

"Your Majesty is charitable. She always cares about your slaves and maidservants. She also gives you a lot of rewards. It's all thanks to your Majesty that the servants' family can get up so quickly. Your kindness will never be forgotten!" She kowtowed again sincerely.

Yi Min also had a sore nose, she helped her up with her own hands, and asked softly: "So, what made you change your mind?"

Xiaotao also replied softly: "The last time I went to see my mother and younger brother, my former fiancé also came, and he was still waiting for me..."

Now even Qingmei couldn't help interjecting, "Didn't you call off the engagement? As soon as your family fell into ruins, his family cut off contact with each other. What is there to miss about such a person?"

Yimin didn't know about this, she only knew that Xiaotao had a fiancé who had a baby marriage, but it didn't work out in the end.

After all, there are some things that Xiaotao can talk to her childhood sweethearts and green willows, but she can't talk to her mother.

Seeing Qingmei's righteous indignation, Yimin frowned slightly, and set her eyes on Xiaotao who was full of happiness, her tone was not very good, "Is he here to ask you to resume the engagement? Because your family is up again?"

Judging from this point alone, this person is not a good man. Seeing that the other party's family is in ruins, regardless of the panic of the fiancée's loss of father, he ruthlessly quit the engagement, leaving her desperate to enter the Palace Museum. come up.

It's too powerful and shameless!

If two people live a lifetime, there will always be ups and downs, and they can only go on by supporting and pulling each other, but if they meet such a person, hehe, the future is so bad that they can see the end at a glance!

Looking at Xiaotao with hatred, Yimin just wished to squeeze all the water out of her brain, maybe that man was a voodoo?

"No, Second Brother Tao is not that kind of person. When he retired, he was still running outside. He didn't know it. It was because the situation was really difficult at that time. The slaves couldn't wait for him to come back, so they hurriedly chose to enter the palace..." Xiaotao hurriedly defended her lover.

Yi Min was so angry that her face was expressionless, "You also believe this?"

Luliu said very bluntly: "Not to mention why your father passed away, why didn't he come back, Xiao Tao, you have been in the palace for three years, where did he go in the morning? Why did he come to you at this time?"

"The servant's father died of a long illness, and it took several years. In order to ask the doctor to buy medicine, the family's fields were sold off. The second brother Tao went out to run the goods to supplement the servant's family. Two days before his father passed away, he just I went to Guangzhou with the team, and it has been several months since I came back..."

"And Second Brother Tao didn't come to look for slaves for no reason," Xiaotao said with a sweet smile, "Second Brother Tao has made some money over the years, and he also said that he had separated from the family alone a while ago..."

She is not completely in love, "The servant also asked brother and mother, and they also said that Brother Tao had secretly taken care of them these years, but he felt ashamed to face the servant, so he didn't let them say it."

Seeing her look determined by eating the weight, Yi Min's head started to hurt, and she said: "Wait a minute, I'll find someone to check, if he is upright, he is not afraid of the shadow slanting, if he is really what you said So good, naturally I am not afraid of these."

After sending Xiaotao away, she told Qingmei: "You send a message to the outside of the palace and ask them to investigate that Tao Erlang, and Xiaotao's family as well."

Xiaotao firmly believed in her mother's brother's words, but Yimin was different.

Ome should be right away.

She has always been in charge of contacting the Dong family outside the palace, but Yimin rarely uses these people, Qingmei is also difficult to use her skills, so she is gearing up to show off at this time.

……

Soon, the investigation report will be available.

Unexpectedly, there was nothing wrong with this Tao Erlang. According to the above, he is not only not powerful, but also an honest and affectionate man.

Just like what Xiaotao said, no matter before or after the divorce, he took good care of Xiaotao's family members. Whether Xiaotao's father was sick before, or later he treated Xiaotao's widowed brother as his own family. Dedicated, excellent reviews.

Yimin and Qingmei looked at each other and blinked at each other, both a little embarrassed.

Qingmei said in a low voice: "The maidservants even asked people to investigate specifically. The Tao family and the Li family have nothing to do with the imperial palace, they are just ordinary people." The Li family is Xiaotao's family.

Therefore, he really wanted to marry Xiaotao, not someone behind her back!

With a light cough, Yimin said, "Call Xiaotao over here."

Facing Xiaotao, Yimin didn't say anything else, just handed her the report in her hand.

Xiaotao had also read before entering the palace, and she could read the characters. She looked at the words on it over and over again, crying and laughing.

With red eyes, she proudly said to Qingmei: "Look, I knew he would not betray me!"

Qing Mei, who opposed the most fiercely, had no choice but to nod uncomfortably, and said helplessly: "Yes, yes, your vision is the best..."

When she calmed down, Yimin asked: "If you don't have the grace of the empress, what are you going to do?"

This money-greedy and stingy girl smiled and said: "Then what can I do, the servant girl can only come to beg the mother, spend money up and down, even if she empties her savings, she has to go out and marry him, he is older than the servant girl Five years old, already 21, how could this servant make him wait so hard..."

Yimin asked again: "His family is so powerful, even if the family is separated, parents are parents after all. If you marry him, won't you be afraid that your in-law's family will treat you poorly?"

Xiaotao wiped away her tears, revealing a sober and resolute look, "What is there to be afraid of, my servant, Second Brother Tao will protect this servant, and Second Brother Tao is so kind to my servant's family, naturally my servant should also be kind to his family!"

Yimin had nothing to say, and only said: "Then prepare for marriage!"

It was inevitable that Ye Chang had many dreams, so she immediately took Xiao Tao to Kunning Palace. Seeing Xiao Tao who had obviously cried, the queen didn't ask any more questions, and just added Xiao Tao's name to the list of Yongshou Palace.

Then he said with a smile: "The freshly delivered peaches are very good. I haven't scattered them to the other palaces yet. Concubine Wen will take some back to taste."

——The queen seems to really like me?

Dazedly thanking her, Yimin thought again and asked: "Mother, I wonder when will the first batch of these palace ladies be released from the palace?"

The queen smiled and asked, "Is Concubine Wen in a hurry?"

With a shy smile, Yimin said helplessly: "I can't help it, this girl hates marrying very much, and there is another affectionate one waiting at home, the concubine really can't stand her like this, so send her away as soon as possible." Don't worry!"

The eyes of everyone in the room fell on Xiaotao, either out of curiosity or teasing, they just looked at her with blushing face and lowered their heads.

The queen clapped her hands and said with a smile: "This is a happy event, so we can't delay it. Originally, the first batch of maids has already made a list and will be released next month. In this way, let's add the one from Concubine Wen's palace to it." .”

The last sentence was spoken to the nanny behind her.

Yimin took Xiaotao to thank her repeatedly, and said a few words to the queen, and then left with a plate of juicy peaches.

……

On the way, Yimin was sitting on the sedan chair, when she heard a soft but solemn "Thank you, ma'am!"

Even without looking, she knew that the girl was about to cry again, as soon as she stretched out her hand, a handkerchief was handed out.

There is one thing to say, her handkerchiefs are the fastest used of all things, there are several at Aunt Guanglu's, and the main thing is that they won't return them if they take them away, and Yimin is too embarrassed to ask for them.

Apparently Xiaotao didn't intend to return it, she folded the handkerchief carefully and put it in her purse, whispered: "From now on, I will pray for your mother every day, please Bodhisattva to bless your mother in peace!"

But Yimin said: "It's impossible to be stupid, beware that Bodhisattva thinks you are annoying."

Xiaotao put it another way: "The servant will beg for Daoist, Buddha, Bodhisattva, and Empress Songzi in exchange..."

Yi Min was amused, she couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Forget it, just live your life well after leaving the palace, what are you asking for me? I don't lack anything..."

……

There was only half a month between Xiaotao reporting her name to Kunning Palace and the first batch of maids leaving the palace.

We all met each other by fate, and suddenly we were reluctant to part, but we also knew that it was a lucky event to be able to leave the palace and marry the sweetheart, so no one said anything depressing, and all the words were congratulations.

Qingmei, Luliu, and Xing'er have been with Xiaotao the longest and have the deepest relationship.These days, they rushed to make new clothes for Xiaotao together. There are only a few styles of court ladies' clothes, so it's not easy to wear them all the time when they go out of the palace.

The clothing materials are all provided by Yimin in a friendly manner, and they are all not conspicuous and precious in her share, and they are comfortable and not eye-catching in normal wear.

Xiao Linzi was very honest in his move. It was a pair of gold-plated earrings. After receiving the news, he hurriedly went to find someone to buy them.

Yulan and the others who came after, although they didn't get along for a long time, Yongshou Palace has a very good atmosphere, and they also get along happily with each other, there is nothing dirty, so they embroidered some purses and handkerchiefs to send to Xiaotao.

Even Su Ying and Xiaoqiu's master and servant both sent a bolt of satin material, saying it was to add makeup to Xiaotao, and Zhang Guiren sent a pair of gold bracelets right after.

For this reason, Yimin also asked someone to find out how ordinary people buy dowry at home. After deliberating for a long time, she patted her head and smiled, "Why do you look like you are marrying your daughter?"

……

The night before leaving the palace, Xiaotao came to watch.

On the branches of the moon, candles are lit in the house, and the lights are very gentle.Yimin and Xiaotao sat across the small table.

"Do you remember? At that time when I first came to the palace, we used to cook together quietly at night. It was just a small stove, which was bought by Xiao Linzi." Yi Min felt very emotional.

Xiaotao has cried a lot these days, but now she can't cry much, she just smiled, "How can I not remember, when the slaves were assigned to the empress's room, I was very disturbed, I didn't want my empress to be so kind, let alone happy. "

Glancing at her, Yimin smiled and said, "Then do you know that Luliu Xing'er only eats one bowl for a little while, but you are different, the first time I drank porridge with me, I ate three bowls. I thought you also had a big appetite, but who knows you are so reckless, you don't even say anything when you're full."

After staying for a while, Xiaotao suddenly said: "The servant girl told Sister Luliu about this later, no wonder Sister Luliu had such a strange expression at that time!"

Nodding her forehead, Yimin sighed: "Go out, don't be so careless."

After a word, the room fell silent.

After a long time, Xiaotao gave a low "hmm".

After a long time, Yimin finally said: "I wrote to my mother's family, they will take care of you, but don't rely on them for everything, relying on yourself is worse than relying on anyone, you have to stand on your own."

"But if there is something that can't be solved, don't hold on, the network is used at this time..." After saying this, Yi Min felt confused.

He simply said directly: "Let me make it clear, when it's time to pull the tiger's skin, do it, don't waste it."

Xiaotao smiled, "Your maidservant knows, your maidservant is such a big person, so you don't have to worry about it!"

Yimin looked at her, got off the couch, took a box from the multi-treasure shelf, returned to the couch and handed it to her, "Open it and have a look."

After opening it according to the words, Xiaotao was stunned again.

It's a box full of tiny jewellery!

"This was a congratulatory gift from Lady Dai Jia when I was concubine. I searched the storeroom for the past two days. I think this is the most suitable for you. It is decent and delicate. Before you get married, make a few jewelry boxes and pack them separately. It's beautiful at times."

"If money is tight at any time, I'll sell some of them. Anyway, there is no printing in the palace. No matter what happens..." Yi Min whispered softly.

Xiaotao choked with sobs and said, "Your maidservant, remember, this is what the empress likes very much!" She even played with it for several days!

Pushing the box into her arms indifferently, Yimin said softly, "I gave it to you because I like it. I have always had a good eye, and I like everything. You must like it, right?"

Xiao Tao couldn't say anything, she could only nod her head heavily.

"Just like it," Yimin smiled, and held her hand, "It will be difficult to see each other in the future. You have to live well outside the palace, and we will all be well in the palace. Don't worry about us, and don't let us worry about you!"

Xiaotao knelt down, leaned on her lap, and kept repeating, "Thank you, thank you...thank you..."

Thank you for your kindness, thank you for your blessings, thank you for your help, thank you...

……

The next day, Yimin sent Xiaotao away at the gate of the palace, and saw her being picked up by a carriage from afar.

She stood for a while, beside Zhuo Yuan who also came to send Hong Luo away.Hongluo is Zhuo Yuan's dowry, and she stayed with her in this harem for nearly eight years, so it is worth giving away.

"Do you think they will get what they want?" Yi Min asked blankly.

"Do you see them happy?"

Yimin nodded, both Xiaotao and Hongluo were extremely happy.

"It's fine if you're happy, who knows what will happen in the future? They have done everything they can, and they have to go the rest of the way." Zhuo Yuan took her wrist and returned to the sedan chair, " Let's go back to the palace."

Everyone has their own destiny, and there are more than differences between inside and outside the palace.

……

In April of the 12th year of Kangxi, the eight-year San Francisco Rebellion kicked off.

The concubines with outstanding family backgrounds in the palace have received many awards these days, and Yimin is one of them. Every now and then, they will receive jewelry ornaments from the Qianqing Palace, and Kangxi often visits.

Yimin didn't really care.

When he comes to Yongshou Palace, Yimin happily picks him up. If he doesn't come to Yongshou Palace, Yimin also happily lives his own life.

But soon her stable life came to an abrupt end.

It was not Kangxi who broke all this, but Zhang Guiren.

She is pregnant.

Yi Min, who heard the news, almost spit out a mouthful of tea on the spot, her eyes widened, and she looked bewildered.

Why did she ask Zhang Guiren to be her neighbor?Isn't it just to avoid being a free nanny for pregnant women?

But, I didn't expect it, Mr. Zhang Gui, you have big eyebrows and big eyes, and you're stretched!

Is there any princess in Kangxi whose biological mother is Zhang Guiren?

She thought uncertainly, it should be the princess, she can recite the elder brothers of the Kangxi Dynasty backwards, even if it is the butterfly effect, it is not possible to conjure an elder brother for Zhang Guiren, right?

Should, should... right?

But no matter how overwhelmed she was, Yi Min didn't dare to delay to report to Kunning Palace, and cleaned up the Yongshou Palace again, starting the first-level battle preparation state!

Especially after Concubine Rong gave birth to Er Gege on the sixth day of May, all the eyes of the whole palace were on Yongshou Palace, and Yimin couldn't even eat well.

Every morning, noon and night, I would first ask about Zhang Guiren's situation, and then I went to ask the queen for an exclusive imperial doctor, and said hello to the dining room...

It was revealed that she was three months pregnant, and Zhang Guiren was eating delicious food, but Yimin was haggard. Before eating, she had to ask "What did Zhang Guiren eat today?" and before going to bed, she asked "Zhang Guiren is asleep ".

Because of her poor appetite, she was misunderstood by Kangxi as self-sufficiency, and comforted her "you are still young, there will always be children" and so on.

——I thank you!

At that time, Yimin really laughed and cried, which made Kangxi comfort him for a while, and then sent a large number of gifts.

Fortunately, after September, the situation is much better.

September is a great month!

In the 12th year of Kangxi, on September [-]th, Zhao Jiachang revealed that she was three months pregnant.

On September [-]th, Concubine Rong revealed that she was pregnant again. Yes, she was pregnant again. When Er Gege was four months old, it was revealed that she was three months pregnant.

Finally, here comes the point!On September [-], the empress reported to the Palace of Compassion and Ning that she had confirmed that she was three months pregnant.

……

One year after elder brother Chenghu died, the queen became pregnant again!

Just this piece of news compared the previous ones to scum. Let’s not mention what everyone in the harem thinks. Kangxi is very happy. At the time of the peace of San Francisco, the empress of the main palace is pregnant, which is undoubtedly a booster!

As soon as he received the news, he immediately came to Kunning Palace. When he saw the queen who was resting on the bed, he quickly pressed the other person's body that wanted to salute, and said gently: "The queen is just lying down. You and I, husband and wife, don't need to be too polite. .”

He also asked the queen if she was feeling unwell, and the imperial physician could prescribe an anti-fetal medicine, etc., and the queen answered them all with a smile.

Then he said happily to the queen: "We finally have an elder brother again."

In the words, he actually decided that it was the elder brother and not the princess. Kangxi, who was still happy, didn't notice the empress's slight smile, and still lamented the coincidence of this child, how considerate of Huang Ama...

When he had finished speaking, the queen smiled softly and said: "To the concubine, the baby in the womb is the most important thing. I just want to focus on raising the dragon fetus. Why don't you hand over the palace duties to the noble concubine and Concubine Tong first?" Let's take care of it together, what does the emperor think?"

After pondering for a while, Kangxi nodded and said: "Alright, you are precious now, and it is really not suitable for you to work hard. Let the palace affairs be handed over to Concubine Gui and Concubine Tong for the time being."

After Ye Bilong retired, Kangxi was not so wary of the imperial concubine, not to mention that the imperial concubine was both talented and beautiful, he also loved it in his heart, and Concubine Tong was his cousin, who was always valued by him. Can be considered rest assured.

Reaching out to help the queen cut her hair, she couldn't help laughing and said, "You mother and son are really my lucky stars!"

Leaning gently in her husband's arms, the queen closed her eyes halfway, and said softly: "It is the duty of a concubine as a queen to give birth to a son for the emperor."

……

A circle of pregnant women shared the firepower, and Yimin finally got a space to relax in the tense atmosphere.

During this period of time, she surrounded the Yongshou Palace like an iron bucket, and while her skills became more and more skillful, she deeply felt that this was not a human thing.

Regardless of Zhaocai's little pawpaw's protest|protest, he gave it a hard shove, grabbed its little meat pad, and solemnly ordered: "You are not allowed to run to Zhang Guiren, do you know?"

I don’t know if Zhaocai knows, but it barks quite loudly, but the little Shuanzi on the side hastily replied: “Your Majesty, don’t worry, the servants are watching, and Zhaocai has not been sent to the East Palace for several months.”

Yimin nodded and rewarded him with a plate of milk cake.

I cheered myself up in my heart: Come on, this is the seventh month, and Zhang Guiren will give birth in more than two months, persistence is victory!

The author has something to say: Which cutie airdropped 520 moonstones to me at 52?

I just saw it today, thank you, okay!

-

During the exam today, I met a very gentle instructor.

Always encouraged me, otherwise I might not be able to pass.

There are still many good people in this world!
