[Qing Chuan] Have a meal in the harem

In the study room of Yongshou Palace.

"It's moon white, shall we paint it on the clothes..." Yi Min held Wu Xiha's little hand, and the two of them painted the portrait of the lady together.

Wu Xiha is now four years old, and all kinds of enlightenment education should keep up. The princess in the palace has a special aunt and female officer who opened a school to teach, but that is after the age of six.

Most of the princesses are enlightened by their own mothers or people arranged by them. After entering the school, they will receive further professional and systematic education.

At the beginning, Yimin wanted Ushihato to enjoy the happy time before school, but after inquiring about the procedures and systems, she decisively arranged the courses.

After all...by the time you enter school at the age of six, everyone will be able to memorize three hundred Tang poems by heart, but your child is still illiterate, not only can't justify it, but the child will also feel inferior.

Qianbi's cultural level is not bad, at least it is enough to enlighten Wu Xiha, she has included calligraphy and reading, so Yimin can't be idle, so she took Wu Xiha to practice painting.

Originally, she wanted to teach Wu Xiha how to play the qin, but now she can play the zither quite well.

But helpless, Wu Xiha is small, has no strength in his hands, and can't move the strings at all, so he can only give up.

"Don't want moon white, but red!" Although Wu Xiha is young, she already has her own set of aesthetic standards. She likes bright colors, and usually chooses red, orange, and royal blue when she chooses clothes... ...a class of bold colors.

"Okay, okay, then take a red one," Yi Min hurriedly asked the maid at the side to mix a red paint.

Speaking of it, Wu Xiha is so big, Yimin didn't expect her to be good at painting, but it was just to improve her sensitivity to color, so Yimin almost asked someone to wholesale a large box of unpainted paintings Black and white painting.

After tossing and tossing for half an hour, the mother and daughter finally turned the black and white pictures of ladies into lust.

Yimin carried Wu Xiha off the slightly higher chair, handed the portrait of a lady to the maid to dry, and asked Wu Xiha, "Who do you want to give this time?"

The little girl is quite fond of giving things away. Every time she paints a black and white painting, she has to give it away, and the recipient must praise her, otherwise she will not be happy.

Guang Yimin himself had received three or four pieces, and Kangxi's had almost the same number, and the concubines were the most.

Wu Xiha tilted his head and thought for a while before seriously saying: "Last time I gave it to the eldest sister, this time I gave it to the third sister."

Yimin laughed, Tai Fenzhu was the most cheerful of the three sisters, no matter what gift she received, she would be very happy and cherish it.

For this reason, Concubine Yi also opened a small room for her in Chuxiu Palace, where her 'treasures' were specially placed.

"Okay, Erniang will ask someone to send the painting over later..." Yimin has always been responsive to Wu Xiha's small requests.

Just about to take Uxiha out for a walk, Yulan came in to report.

"Your Majesty, there was news from Yikun Palace just now, and Madam Yipin found out that she is three months pregnant."

Ok?

Yi Min blinked her eyes and subconsciously asked, "Is it July?"

Before Yulan could speak, Wu Xiha said, "It's from July!" She nodded her head with a very certain tone.

Yimin's eyes are a bit subtle—isn't it true that Guo Chang is entering the palace on the front foot, and Yi concubine is pregnant on the back foot?What others say about Wang Fu Wang Zi, is this Guo Changzai Miss Wang?

Coughing lightly, shaking off the feudal superstition in her mind, she told Yulan: "You send someone to find Qingmei, and ask her to prepare a gift, and send it to Yikun Palace."

……

Yikun Palace, the main hall.

Yipin was lying on the bed with both hands resting on her lower abdomen, with a dazed look on her face.

She was really surprised. If she hadn't tried everything to get pregnant, she wouldn't have let her family send her younger sister to the palace.

After all, she also knew that her younger sister's original life arrangement was not like this. She should marry a well-matched husband and live an ordinary and open life with the support and protection of her parents and brothers, instead of entering this deep palace.

"Ma'am, I've been here to see you often."

The voice of the palace maid interrupted her thoughts, because Guo Chang was never blocked from entering the main hall of Yikun Palace because of her sisters.

As soon as Guo Changzai walked into the house, the first thing he said was: "Congratulations sister, I finally got what I wanted."

Her smile was a little light, but it contained a sincere heart. Although she felt that her fate was unfair and impermanent, she was still a little happy for her sister.

I just feel that it would be great if this good news came earlier, and it would be great if it broke out before the draft.

"Your Majesty, the anti-fetal medicine prescribed by the imperial physician is ready," the maid walked in lightly, holding the tray.

Guo Chang picked up the medicine bowl and sat on the edge of the bed, "Sister, drink the medicine first, it will be more bitter when it gets cold."

Drinking the medicine with her hand, Yipin looked at her with a little guilt, and said, "I'm sorry, if I had known..."

"Sister, what can I do to forgive me?" Before she could finish speaking, Guo Changzai interrupted her.

She knows better than anyone else that in this harem, her biggest reliance is not the emperor or the family, but her sister—— Yipin.

"I am also happy to be able to enter the palace to help my sister. Now my sister is pregnant, which is the most precious thing, but you can't think wildly, it will be bad if you hurt your body..."

The more she behaved like this, the more guilty Yipin felt, gently holding her hand, Yipin solemnly said: "Don't be afraid, sister will protect you..."

Guo Changzai smiled, "I believe in my sister!"

……

Concubine Yi is the empress, and she has always been favored. Her pregnancy has really attracted the attention of many people in the harem, but with the protection of the Empress Dowager, Concubine Yi herself is capable, so nothing has happened.

In August, it was revealed that Guo Changzai and his concubine Nala were pregnant, and in October, after the fourth elder brother was born, there were not many people staring at Yikun Palace.

……

As soon as the news of the fourth elder brother's birth came out, Yi Min rushed to Chuxiu Palace, wanting to get a glimpse of the legendary fourth elder brother's newborn face.

After observing in front of the crib for a long time, Yimin finally came to a conclusion—the fourth grandpa had a big forehead when he was a baby, and at first glance he was very suitable for the hairstyle of the money rat tail in the Qing Dynasty.

"Okay, let's go, I've got someone to prepare some snacks for you," Concubine Yi accompanied her to see, she was wearing newly made flowerpot sole shoes, her feet were sore from standing after such a short effort, and she Pulling Yimin to go back.

The newborn baby was nothing to look at, so Yi Min nodded and was dragged out of the room with her strength.

Returning to the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, across a large table full of dim sum, Yimin looked at the indifferent Concubine Yi, and asked curiously, "Did you have no idea when you saw the fourth elder brother?"

Didn't you want to adopt a registered name before?

Concubine Yi gnawed on a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and said with a smile, "What can you think? Elder brother is going to be brought up in Nansan Institute after the full moon. Even if I take him here now, I can at most be a foster mother."

"Besides, let me see, Wu Ya is not very willing to give me the fourth elder brother even if she promised. Most of the elder brothers who have biological mothers are closer to their biological mothers."

Not only is it not easy to raise, but there are many hidden dangers. If you are not careful, you will make wedding clothes for others.

No one understood this truth better than Concubine Yi.

Just like the emperor, Empress Xiaokangzhang passed away when he was a little older, and it was the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager who really raised him, but didn't he still miss his biological mother?

Compared with Mongolia, the emperor is much closer to the Tong family.

Concubine Yi shook her head, it would be fine if Wu Ya agreed, but the other party obviously had no intentions, so she didn't want to bother, anyway, she had Tai Fenzhu under her knee, so it was not empty.

And... the fact that Yipin was pregnant also gave her a lot of encouragement. She has also been in the palace for many years. Since Yipin can give birth, there is no reason why she can't.

After hearing this, she looked carefully at Concubine Yi's demeanor, seeing that she did not force herself in the slightest, Yimin smiled and continued to eat snacks with her head down - Concubine Yi's behavior is also quite good, at least she feels much more at ease.

……

In November, a major event happened in the palace—the crown prince had smallpox.

This touched Kangxi's lifeblood, and he directly ordered to send all the papers for this month to the cabinet, while he accompanied and cared for his son wholeheartedly.

Over the years, everyone in the harem had gotten used to Kangxi's partiality, and every time the crown prince had some minor ailment, even if it was just a cold or something.Kangxi will have low air pressure for several days.

But this incident still surprised everyone, especially Concubine Hui.

You know, when the elder brother had smallpox before, the emperor only went to see it once, and he only ordered the imperial doctor to take good care of him.

But what about the prince?

Concubine Hui's mentality has completely collapsed, and her whole body is not well.

……

As soon as the prince's matter came out, there was an atmosphere of impending action in the front and rear palaces.

Yimin knew in her heart that nothing would happen to the prince, and he would be the prince for decades, so she was very calm and didn't pay much attention, and only focused on teaching Wu Xiha.

Because the empress is stable, the overall atmosphere of the Yongshou Palace hasn't changed much from the time the prince fell ill to when he recovered. Kangxi, who was later free to observe the harem, nodded secretly.

……

Because of the crown prince's smallpox incident, Wu Xiha hadn't left the gate of Yongshou Palace for more than a month. After finally being liberated, Yi Min took her to the Imperial Garden for a stroll.

I don't want to bump into Concubine Ping head-on.

Concubine Ping slowed down as soon as they met each other, but she finally came over and saluted, "I have seen the imperial concubine."

Yimin nodded, didn't say much, excused her, and led Wu Xiha around her and walked away.

Since entering the palace, Concubine Ping's popularity has been visible to the naked eye.

No matter at the tea party or during the normal meeting and communication, there are very few concubines waiting to see her in the palace.

Especially Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong, Concubine An, and Concubine Jing who are also concubines with her.

After all...everyone has been cooking oil in the palace for more than ten years before they got the concubine position. As a result, with your good sister and nephew, you sat on the finish line of the struggle as soon as you came up.

No one can stand this.

What's more, the number of concubines was originally agreed to be four, what do you mean by the sudden appearance of the fifth?Is there a sixth or seventh place?

Does this concubine still have gold content?

As the losers of interests, the four concubines unanimously began to suppress and boycott Concubine Ping. Although the imperial decree was issued by Kangxi, the one with vested interests was Concubine Ping, and they rightly pointed their guns at her.

How can you break the established system without paying a price?

And Concubine Ping is not very resistant to stress, but she has been autistic for more than three months. Except for asking for peace, she will never go out of the side hall of Changchun Palace, and she has become an invisible person in the palace.

Let the four of them have no sense of accomplishment at all.

But... from now on, the concubines who want to attack the concubine position will inevitably be more cautious, after all, there are lessons learned from the past.
