Guoluo Luo's in the Qing Dynasty
Chapter 43 Yo, Little Tong
Living in the grassland for more than half a month turned Wanzhao's complexion into a healthy light wheat color, without so many restraints like in the palace, Wanzhao felt that he had relaxed a lot.However, such a good day is not common. Kangxi has established good relationships with various Mongolian ministries.
After that, he set a date to return to Beijing.
"If you count the days, the full moon banquet of the ten elder brothers given by the imperial concubine is over, right?" News came from the middle of Beijing a month ago that the noble concubine Niu Hulu gave birth to an elder brother, and both mother and child are safe.Wan Zhao silently counted the days, and it was probably about time for the concubine to give birth.
"There are still three days left." Luyu helped Wanzhao pack her luggage, "Master asked Nanny Wang to pack up the congratulatory gifts before going out, so don't worry about it now. No matter how bad it is, Master Yi will help to look after it."
"That's right." Wan Zhao said with a smile, "Have you prepared everything for Xiao Liu? If I don't bring her back some gadgets, I'm afraid she will cry again."
"It's ready. The servant took the red fox fur that the emperor rewarded Liu Gege to make a Mongolian costume for Liu Gege; didn't Eighth Brother get a pair of little white rabbits from the prince a few days ago, and I heard it was also prepared for Liu Gege .”
Lian Xin helped Wan Zhao put away all the brocade boxes containing jewelry, "It's a pity that Liu Gege didn't get to see the heroic appearance of the master on horseback."
"You're the only one who talks poorly." Wan Zhao cast a glance at Lian Xin, "It's time to go back after tonight, I really don't want to part with it."
"If the master is reluctant, I will let the emperor take you on tour more in the future. I can see that the emperor is also very kind to the master, and it is not impossible to come out in the future." Luyu laughed, "Eighth elder brother Didn't you keep yelling before that when you grow up, you will hunt skins for the prince yourself?"
"That child Yinbin is ambitious, is he looking for the prince again today?" Wan Zhao said.
"That's right." Lian Xin replied, "The eighth elder brother has been pestering the prince to teach him archery every day these days, and the prince has taught him patiently." The prince is the future heir of the Qing Dynasty. It would be best to make friends with the eldest son.
Wan Zhao fiddled with the lid of the tea gu, but didn't speak.
After Shengjia returned to Shengjing to pick up Concubine Ping, after a while, he finally returned to the capital.As soon as Wanzhao came back, the first thing she did was to have someone boil water for a bath and also have someone rub her shoulders—since she sat in the carriage all day, her bones were going to be hardened.Changed into regular clothes, not much
After a while, Buyechuk ran in with a smile.
"Emiang, do you think I look good?" Buyechuk deliberately changed into the Mongolian clothes that Lian Xin made, and twirled around in front of Wan Zhao beautifully, and the pompoms embroidered on the clothes floated up.
"Why did you change into the clothes so impatiently?" Wan Zhao pulled her over to Bai Ji to have a look, "Lian Xin's embroiderer is really good. Later Er Niang will reward her well. Your brother will return it to you." I brought a pair of rabbits, did you get it?"
"Got it!" Buyechuk chattered around Wanzhao non-stop, asking her what she had seen and heard on the grassland.
When the two mother and daughter were talking happily, Mu Jin brought in a piece of news that Wanzhao didn't know whether it was a surprise or expected: Kangxi issued a decree to summon the royal concubine's sister Tong to enter the palace.On the surface, she is accompanying her sick sister, but in fact... Wanzhao can already [-]%
I'm sure, this little Geshi will probably become a member of the "sisters" in the harem in the future.
"Understood." Kangxi didn't invent a decree to accept her as a concubine, so Wanzhao naturally didn't bother to prepare any congratulatory gifts for her.Someone fetched a pair of red gold long life lock bracelets, which was considered as a meeting gift for Xiao Tong when he went to Chengqian Palace three days later to pay his respects.
"Master doesn't seem to be worried." Mu Jin asked someone to pass the meal, "That young lady of the Tong family is probably going to enter the palace."
"So what, I don't know if the emperor didn't make a decree for a day." Wanzhao didn't pay much attention to the rule of "do not speak when eating and do not speak when sleeping" when eating with her two children. He put his head in Buyechuk's bowl, and after getting a big smile from Buyechuk, he said,
"Even if the emperor orders it, it doesn't matter. She lives in her Chengqian Palace, and I live in my Yongshou Palace. It's far away. If she really wants to mess with me, it's her fault."
"Master is right." Hibiscus spooned a bowl of tofu and crucian carp soup, "This soup has been stewed for a long time, master hastened to taste it. The servant has not seen the master for more than three months, and the master's skin is not as fair as before. If Wang Momo knows, she must force the master to drink soup every day."
"Is it possible not to get dark after being exposed to the sun like this every day outside the Great Wall?" Wan Zhao was very satisfied with her healthy complexion, but she still took a sip of the fish soup, "This soup tastes good, give it to Ge Ge and elder brother Bowl."
"Yes."
After the three-day rest period, Wan Zhao finally went to Chengqian Palace to meet the little Tong.In order to give people a good impression, Wanzhao specially put on a newly made flag dress, with poppy poppies embroidered on a light purple background, bright satin pink and purple trim, and bird-black long hair fixed into a small flat square with silver inlaid gemstones.
Two heads, pinned a few tourmaline silk flowers, two rose crystals with stalks, begonias and jade wings, and a glass eight treasures were placed in the center of the bun.
"The master is so beautifully dressed." Lian Xin handed her a pair of cloisonne earrings inlaid with black agate, "It's so beautiful."
Can a girl in her twenties not look good? Wanzhao looked at her makeup with satisfaction. She didn't like the makeup sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so she rarely used it. A plain face can best highlight the beauty of girls in this age group. Youthful and beautiful.After drawing thrush briefly, Wan Zhao got up and went out.
Now the noble concubine can finally sit up straight and have a clear conscience, not caring about people saying that she can enjoy the honor of noble concubine exclusively because of the dead Empress Xiaozhao.Her face was still a little swollen, and her body was a little rounder than before, but there was a triumphant smile on her face, looking at
When the imperial concubine was an imperial concubine, the curvature of the corners of her mouth deepened.
The concubine funerals present were also waiting to watch the show, so as soon as the little Tong came out, everyone immediately focused on her.Xiao Tong has just turned fifteen this year, and she is as delicate as a dewy rose in the morning. She is dressed in a concubine red and golden begonia flower dress, and she is covered in a pink dress.
The silk-cut gown with ten brocades and some fashionable clothes on the head make her look extraordinarily coquettish.Compared with it, most concubine funerals are much inferior.
"After all, she is a girl from the imperial concubine's family. She is beautiful. She is green and beautiful, making us all old." The concubine pursed her lips and smiled, "It's just fifteen this year, she is really young." Although the emperor didn't say it clearly , but which woman in this palace is not a delicate heart,
Just guess what's going on.
It is not that there is no precedent for sisters serving one husband together in the palace. Niu Hulu's family, Hesheli's family and Guo Luoluo's family are all like this, but Tong's family is a special one after all.The elder sister is the imperial concubine, if this younger sister enters the palace, what is the most suitable position, she can't be named a concubine directly, right?
Concubine Gui and Concubine Ping didn't even have a formal title when they first entered the palace, and Concubine Shu was just a permanent presence.Will this little Tong be treated differently?
The imperial concubine hooked the corners of her mouth stiffly: "Go and pay your respects to all the ladies." My sister didn't have to be sealed as soon as she entered the palace.
She is just a servant girl, so she bowed her bow and bowed her knees to greet the women present.
Little Tong bit her lip and did as she said.The concubines who came brought some meeting gifts, and after receiving them one by one, they returned to the imperial concubine.She still has status, so she can only stand beside the imperial concubine, and she can't even lean on a small bench.The little girl who was born with a partial birth even dressed up specially today
Well, those flowerpot shoes looked a little taller than usual, it was hard for her to stand all morning.
"You have also seen that little Tong, how do you feel?" Please An came back, Concubine Yi called Wan Zhao to her palace, and asked immediately.
"The appearance is good but a little immature, and he can't hide his temper." Wan Zhao didn't ignore the unwillingness and grievance in Xiao Tong's eyes when he came to greet them, "Generally speaking, it's better to be nice. It is estimated that the imperial concubine has already started to prepare, but the Tong family is really brave enough to send another girl from the Tong family in."
"The situation of the Tong family is the most special. The previous dynasties and the harem are related to each other, so the daughters of the Tong family in the harem must be favored. The imperial concubine has fallen, and all the Tong family can't wait to send a girl in. One is to stabilize the emperor. The status of the noble concubine is also to consolidate the previous dynasty
of glory. Concubine Yi said, "However, the emperor seems to have the intention of accepting this girl immediately, and probably has some plans." "
"However, I heard that sending another girl from Tong's family this time seems to have annoyed another Master Tong." Wan Zhao gossiped.The "another Master Tong" in her words is Tong Guogang, uncle of the imperial concubine and Jiang Guowei's elder brother.Compared with Tong Guowei, he has a smoother temper
, Tong Guogang can be said to be a bit unscrupulous, he has a violent temper, and even Kangxi can't control his temper, so Tong Guowei sent his daughter to the palace after discussing with him this time, which made Tong Guogang angry.
"That Tong Guogong's temper is well known in the streets, and sometimes he doesn't act recklessly." Yi Fei laughed, "But he has always been at odds with Imperial Concubine Ama, and it's not a big deal."
Wan Zhao twitched the corner of her mouth.The Duke of Ge ran to his younger brother's house to make a big fuss, pointing at his younger brother's nose and scolding him for relying on his sister and his daughter to be appointed officials and nobles.Wan Zhao heard from Tao Fushou that Tong Guowei was so angry that day that he almost lost his breath.But just
Even if such a incident happened, Kangxi also had any intentions, whether he comforted Tong Guowei or scolded Tong Guogang, it was almost impossible to understand Kangxi's original intention.
"Forget it, after all, it's their family business, and it has nothing to do with us." Wanzhao thought for a while and put the matter behind her, smiling coquettishly with Concubine Yi, "Sister, I haven't met Brother Jiu yet, hug me Come out and let me have a look." The legendary old Jiuye, who is as gorgeous as a peach blossom, Wan Zhao must be
To see.
Concubine Yi glanced at Wan Zhao before she smiled and asked the wet nurse to take the baby out.In all fairness, the child is growing up!The round eyes, the small nose and the small mouth are not as round as when Yin Yi was born, but they are still very cute.Wan Zhao lightly touched the child's
She was envious of the slippery touch of her small hands.
"It's so cute." Wan Zhao kissed that little hand.
Concubine Yi watched the interaction between her sister and her son, and smiled softly from the side.

Wang Chang gave birth to a daughter for Kangxi in October, and when the imperial concubine was ready to hold the child to her knees, Kangxi's will came down.But it was not carried to the Empress Dowager to be raised, but to the Empress Dowager.The empress dowager has been suffering from minor illnesses for a year
Yes, Kangxi couldn't bear her to work hard to raise this child. It happened that Brother Qi was also planning to move back to Xianfu Palace, so he simply let the empress dowager take care of him.
Not adopting Wang Changzai's child does not mean that the empress will be idle when she grows up. She has a hobby recently, which is to invite girls from eight to 13 years old from various families into the palace to chat with her.Wan Zhao silently calculated, the elder brother is thirteen this year, and the crown prince is ten years old this year, so he should be a child in a few years.
Dear, the Empress Dowager is probably preparing for this meeting this time.
Hesheli's family, Yiergenjueluo's family, Shi's family, Dong'e's family... Girls of appropriate age from famous and powerful families in Beijing all came to the palace.Concubine Hui felt itchy in her heart, and wanted to know what kind of Fujin her son would marry in the future.That Irgen Jue Roche is the best
, Manchurian surname, the daughter of Shangshu Keerkun, this Keerkun is also close to his cousin Nalan Mingzhu, so they naturally get closer.
"Have you seen Concubine Hui's appearance today?" Concubine Yi joked with Wan Zhao, "Looking at how anxious she is, I wish I could spend every day in the Palace of Compassion and Empress seeing my daughter-in-law. "
"My sister likes to joke about these things. When the fifth elder brother and the ninth elder brother want to see Fujin, I don't believe that my elder sister can sit still." Wan Zhao hugged Mrs. Tang and sat lazily on the warm kang, Two feet nestled in the thick quilt, "It has suddenly become much colder in the past few days, so it is better to spend the winter
The clothes are ready early, otherwise I don't want to go out yet.The emperor told me that Xiaoliu will move to the princess house after the spring of next year, and I feel very reluctant; Xiaoliu's girl has been clinging to me every day recently, alas. "
"Who wants mother and child to be separated? But this is the rule in the palace, and we all have to abide by it. It is estimated that the fifth elder brother will not live by my side."
long. Concubine Yi also sighed, "The empress dowager is kind-hearted, thinking that elder brother Qi will move to elder brother's house in two years, so she simply graciously let him move back to Xianfu palace to get along with concubine Cheng, so that mother and child will not be separated." rusty. "However, Seventh Elder Brother's Chinese is not good enough. This time, I will move back to live with Concubine Cheng.
Literacy can improve reading and writing.
"Ancestral rules..." It's really inhumane.Wan Zhao complained silently from the bottom of her heart.
The imperial concubine's body is gradually getting better, but her face is still frowning.For no other reason, my younger sister has been in the palace for two months, and she still hasn't been summoned by Kangxi.From the point of view of her little girl, she certainly hopes that the emperor will never be responsible to her sister.
He didn't think about it; but in terms of family honor, she was already half out of favor, and she knew that she needed her sister to turn the tide.
Xiao Tong sat obediently on the side, embroidering a double lotus purse and thinking with girlish feelings.She finally saw her cousin today, so handsome and mighty, he really deserves to be the supreme man in the Qing Dynasty.Her little face was red, and her mind didn't know how to drift away.
Where, I accidentally pricked a blood hole in my hand.
Xiao Tong quickly put her finger in her mouth, looked up and saw Bai Ji's sister was still there in a daze, and said, "Sister, I want to go out for a walk."
It's already a bitterly cold winter, and the imperial concubine saw that her younger sister was dressed warmly, her small face was reddened by the charcoal basin in the room or something, she was annoyed by her delicate appearance .She is almost 27, and her younger sister is only fifteen, the emperor
Sooner or later, she will fall in love with her! Thinking of this, the imperial concubine does not restrain Xiao Tong, and asks someone to accompany her to the imperial garden to relax.
"It's winter, but the master likes to run outside." Baochun approved a female cloak for Xiao Tong, "If it's freezing, the imperial concubine and empress will definitely blame the servants."
"Just talk too much." Xiao Tong glanced at Baochun.Her elder sister didn't care if she was frozen, originally the two sisters rarely saw each other, but she was not used to letting her enter the palace suddenly.On weekdays, no one was obedient to her in the Tong Mansion, but when she came to the palace, she was not ashamed.
She didn't blame her sister for bending her knees.
"The bare imperial garden is nothing to look at, it's not as good as our own mansion." Baochun complained in a low voice.
"Don't talk nonsense, if people hear it, it will only embarrass our Tong family." Although Xiao Tong has complaints about her sister, she also knows that there are some things that cannot be said casually in the palace.She is not a stupid woman, and she also knows why she entered the palace.
Cousin Di noticed himself, and then slowly planned on the rest.
"Your maidservant knows." Baochun stuck out her tongue, "My maidservant just said something casually."
Little Tong walked slowly with the hand stove in his arms, and walked into the plum garden unconsciously.She picked a plum branch and held it in her hand, whispering: "The sharp edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from white bitter cold..."
"That's right, you actually know this line of the poem." A man's voice came from behind, and Xiao Tong looked back, and it turned out that it was his cousin whom he cared about.Her little face was as red as a red plum in the snow. After obediently saluting, she raised her eyes and saw that Kangxi was still standing three meters away from her.
Far, can not help but feel a little discouraged.
Kangxi just passed by by chance, and didn't intend to talk to Xiao Tong.After nodding to her, Kangxi went to the Palace of Compassion and Peace according to the original plan, leaving little Tong behind him waiting to see through.
"The emperor is here." The Empress Dowager opened her sleepy eyes and said with a smile when she saw that Kangxi was pouring tea for her.
"The old ancestor is sleepy, why don't you let someone serve you to sleep?" Kangxi touched the empress dowager's hand, and he was relieved when he saw that her hand was still warm, "I heard from the waiter that the old ancestor has not been sleeping recently. Love to eat, is it because you are unwell?"
"It's cold, so I don't have an appetite. It's okay." The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "The Ai family has met several girls of the right age in the past few days, and they have very good personalities. The emperor is determined to be the eldest Which girl did you decide on?"
"The grandson thinks Irgen Jue Luo is very good, what does the ancestor think?" Yinyin is about to turn fourteen, and Kangxi himself had his first child when he was 14, so he made a decision for the elder brother as early as possible. Marriage is very necessary.Ergen felt that Luo Shi was one year younger than the elder brother,
He has a good family background, looks blessed, and is a good match for his eldest son.
"It's from the Yiergenjueluo family," the empress dowager narrowed her eyes slightly thinking about the girl, and nodded, "That girl is really good, she behaves very politely, and the emperor has a good eye. Wait for the next year's general election , just pick her."
"It's also thanks to the blessings of our ancestors." Kangxi smiled, "The prince is still young, so it doesn't matter if he is not settled this time. The grandson always wants to give him the best look." The Hesheli family is older than the prince. A little older, Kangxi doesn't plan to consider it; girls from Shi's family and Dong'e's family
However, the Shi family belonged to the Han army with a white flag, and Dong E's family was only a Manchurian red flag. Kangxi always felt a little awkward.
"Then let's have a look again, we have so many good girls in the Eight Banners of Manchuria, we will definitely pick one suitable for the eldest son." The Empress Dowager patted
Kangxi's hand, "You seem to seldom go to the imperial concubine's palace recently."
"Grandson... not in the mood." Kangxi twitched his lips.
"Since the girl is passed on to the palace, let's accept it after the next year." The Empress Dowager said, "But don't confer the canonization for now, give her the title of concubine, and follow the concubine's salary. The Ai family doesn't want her either. There was a quarrel with other concubines, so let her live with her sister, anyway
Most of Chengqian palaces are empty side halls. "
"Everything is according to the arrangement of the ancestors." It's not that Kangxi doesn't feel sorry for his cousin, but some things are too serious, and he will never tolerate them. "After the new year, the grandson will make a decree."
The empress did not object, but said: "It is really inappropriate for the daughter of the Tong family to be given a high status. You are thinking about your mother's family, and you have to think about the future of the Qing Dynasty."
"Grandson understands."
At the new year's family banquet, Kangxi finally took care of Xiao Tong and allowed her to accompany the imperial concubine to attend. This small sign was quickly seen through, and people thought it was a prelude to Kangxi's acceptance of Xiao Tong.Concubines like Wan Zhao who don't take this matter to heart naturally take it lightly;
As for those concubines who have opinions, they can't do anything about them, they can only watch Xiao Tong, who is sitting with the imperial concubine, flirt with Kangxi secretly.
"Did you smell something?" Wan Zhao took a sip of the sweet-scented osmanthus wine, smiled and said to Concubine Cheng beside him, "It smells sour."
"You are laughing at a lot of people." Cheng concubine held a veil to cover the smile on her lips, "I can't smell the sour smell anymore, but I can smell the smell of rouge and gouache, so strong that it seems that I have accumulated it all I used all the makeup and powder in one go. It is this drunk sweet-scented osmanthus wine, I
Can't even smell its fragrance. "
"What's the point of you saying that they are competing for beauty like this? The emperor didn't look at them at all." Wanzhao asked another glass of wine to be poured, "Now the emperor's most proud person in front of him is Concubine Ping, and there are also princes, princes, and princes. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. Next is the elder brothers, so
No matter how beautifully she dresses, the emperor probably won't be able to see it. "
"This is called self-deception. You can't fool bystanders, even if you're a fan of the authorities." The seventh prince returned to Cheng Concubine's side now, and it was the best ending for Cheng Concubine.She puts all her heart on her son, and doesn't care whether Kangxi loves her or not, so she can
Talking to Wanzhao and laughing, "It's you, the Tong family has another concubine, aren't you worried?"
"There is nothing to worry about, it's just that the soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth." Wan Zhao looked at the stiff face of the empress and noble concubine, and smiled meaningfully.When a young and beautiful younger sister enters the palace, the imperial concubine is probably the first to bear the brunt.The Tong sisters are different from her and Concubine Yi.
There is a difference of 12 years, a flower as delicate as spring, and a willow that is about to turn into late autumn, who is more anxious and still thinks by himself?

After 23 years, there is an official concubine Tong Shu in the palace.Compared with the noble concubine's favor in the past, this concubine Tong Shu was not as favored as the women in the harem thought. Being flopped once or twice a month was considered pretty good.Of course, there is also Kangxi's reason for this
Inside - Yaksa was invaded by the Russian troops in the north, and Kangxi was dealing with the matter.
Without the emperor's attention to attract, the funeral of all the concubines will settle down.The empress dowager is in danger, the empress dowager is busy with the illness, and the original greetings are also suspended; the imperial concubine also contracted a cold in the early spring, and she has not recovered yet;
Concubine Yi manages the palace affairs and manages the whole palace properly, which also makes Kangxi very satisfied.
In May, Concubine Ping successfully gave birth to her eleventh brother.
"Forget it, I watched the younger brothers born after the fourth elder brother." Wan Zhao looked at her appearance in the mirror.This face is pink and tender, and it looks like he is only in his early twenties.But Wanzhao felt that he had lived in this harem for many years, "It's only 23 years now..."
"Master, why are you feeling so emotional today?" Mu Jin took a comb and rubbed Wan Zhao's hair.After Wang Momo moved to the princess house with Buyechuk, Mu Jin became the aunt in charge of Yongshou Palace.Lianxin and Luyu both hold the monthly salary of a first-class court lady, and promoted coral, jadeite, purple cherry and
Cui Lan's four second-class court ladies.After receiving the flat square from Zi Ying, Mu Jin tied Wan Zhao's long hair into two strands, and put a few flower hairpins with emerald tassels on them.
Isn't it because that dead child Yinyi said that I have white hair on my head!Wanzhao gritted her teeth, it was because her hair was too long and could not keep up with nutrients, so there was a section of whitened hair, no one could see it when it was combed into a bun, but when she was born, the child yelled a few times beside her, and worried look at
Looking at her, afraid that she would be as white as the great empress.Wan Zhao couldn't beat or scold her, so she could only sulking and express emotion at the same time.
"It's okay." Wan Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, "Where's Yin Yin?"
"Brother Ba is in the small study." Ever since Wanzhao started teaching Yinyin how to read, the child has shown great enthusiasm for learning, even putting aside his favorite snacks on weekdays, and looks serious when he is small Grabbing a pen, he kept drawing on the rice paper.word that
It's definitely not very good-looking, but Wanzhao thinks that since the child likes it, then let him go, as long as he doesn't hurt his eyes.
"Tell Guixi to watch and don't tell him to practice until he misses the hour."
"Yes."
In May, Kangxi had the idea of making a southern tour.Firstly, the weather in central Beijing and all over the world is good, and Kangxi also wants to take the opportunity to go to the south of the Yangtze River to see the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River; secondly, the empress dowager has been ill for a long time, and the empress dowager has been working hard to take care of her illness, so it is good to go for a walk to relax .
After setting the time for the southern tour in early September, Kangxi sent an order for people to repair the Jiangnan Palace for pick-up.
Concubine Tong Shu was actually on the list this time, and she was ordered by Kangxi to go to the southern tour with her.Concubine Gui, Concubine Yi, Concubine Zhang Jia, Noble Nala, and Wan Liuha often went out together.Wanzhao did not get the spot to go on tour this time, but because Concubine Wanliu Hashu was pregnant, she had to stay
Come to help take care of her—Wanzhao secretly guessed whether it was because Uncle Kangxi was worried that the imperial concubine would take care of Wanliu Hashi so he had to keep her.Later, he felt that Kangxi probably didn't like him that much, so Su Xing put this thought behind him.
"You have to give birth to this baby well, and give birth to an elder brother to the emperor in a safe and sound way, and the days to come will be easier." The three who entered the palace that year
The newcomer, Wang Changzai, has already given birth to the imperial daughter. Although the concubine Zhang Jiashu has no children, she is blessed with grace, but Wanliu Hashi herself is a bit out of step, and she is also anxious. Otherwise, it will only get more and more anxious.
"Sister knows." Wanliu Hashi was overjoyed, and touched his still flat stomach like a treasure, "This baby is not easy to come by, and my sister will take care of it more carefully."
"That's good." Wanzhao patted her hand, "You are the first child, and there are some things I want to explain to you. The first three months of pregnancy are the most important, so you must take care of them carefully. The emperor has already given birth to you." I decree that you don't have to go to pay your respects first, so you are not afraid of being bumped by anything; it's just that this rouge water
The powder is no longer usable, and all colored glazes in the sleeping hall must be replaced with green glazes, and all those incenses must be banned.As for the food, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send a nanny to explain it to you. "
"Thank you for your teaching, sister." Wan Liuha looked at the half-burning incense burner, and hurriedly asked someone to take it out and throw it away.
"Don't worry, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will let the nanny show you around today. I just want to tell you, don't just stay in the palace all day just thinking about getting pregnant. The fetus is too big. If so, it will be myself who will work hard in the future.”
Wan Liuha pursed his lips, and nodded with a serious face.
Wanzhao is ready to go out this time, but Yinqi Kangxi still decides to take her away.Wanzhao had no choice but to ask people to inquire about the climate and environment in the south of the Yangtze River, and to rush to make new clothes for Yinqi.In September, Jiangnan was hot and humid, and Wan Zhao also asked people to prepare peppermint cream and peppermint oil for emergencies.
With these things, Wanzhao went to Yikun Palace, and happened to see Concubine Yi getting ready, so she went up and said, "Sister, are you busy?"
"You're here, sit down quickly." Concubine Yi never cared about the etiquette of saluting with Wan Zhao. Seeing that Wan Zhao was carrying a small burden, she said, "What is this? It's for me?"
"Exactly." Wanzhao asked Lvyu to lift up the small bundle, and took out two small boxes made of white jade. As soon as they were opened, a cool mint aroma wafted out, "I asked someone to make a few boxes of white jade. Peppermint ointment is the best to dispel the wind and dissipate heat. The heat and humidity in the south of the Yangtze River are unbearable, so my sister should bring it."
"It's hard for you to think of it." Yifei smiled and accepted it, "I just wanted to take a few pills to dispel the heat, and it would be great if you could make this for me. Speaking of which, I have to ask you thing."
"Sister, please tell me."
"Elder Brother Nine is still young, so he definitely can't follow me this time. Although there are many mothers and wet nurses in the palace, I still feel a little worried. You should come and see Elder Nine more often." It is a great favor to be able to go on tour with the emperor, but Concubine Yi still thinks that she will be one year old
The child, "You also know that child is very naughty, and he wants to go out even after learning how to walk. I can't control it anymore, and I'm worried that the servants in the palace will not be able to control me after I go out."
"Does my sister think that I can control it?" Wanzhao said with a smile, "But since my sister has asked me to do so, I will do my best, and I will also ask my sister to help me keep Yinqi in check."
"That's natural."
On the third day of September, the southern tour set off.The three giant Buddhas walked away from the palace at once, and the anger suddenly relaxed a lot.Buyechuk took the opportunity to come back several times, always sticking to Wanzhao, saying how boring the life of the princess is, and how much he misses Erniang and his younger brother, so as to get a meal order.
right.
"You just like to eat these, how would you like to become a little chubby girl after eating them?" Wan Zhao looked at Buyechuk chewing snacks with a happy face, and smiled from the side.
"Ukuma Mama said that girls are lucky if they are round." Buyechuk said with a smile, "Otherwise, it won't look good if you become as thin as the fifth sister next door who looks like wicker."
"Fifth Sister?" Wan Zhao thought about it. Isn't that the daughter of the cloth nobleman Zhao Jia? How could she be as thin as a wicker? She has seen Da Gege and San Gege, which definitely fit the empress's mouth The appearance of the "blessing" mentioned in the book.She frowned slightly and asked someone to invite Zhao Jia over.
"There has always been a nanny watching in the princess's house, and Wu'er has always been fine when he greeted me. I don't know what happened." Zhao Jia looked at Wanzhao in bewilderment.Her daughter is quiet and rarely tells her what's on her mind, so she doesn't know what Wan Zhao is asking for.
"Sister, don't worry, I'll ask someone to find out." After finishing speaking, he asked Lin Changxing to go to the princess's place to gossip.This gossip actually brought out the fact that the nuns next to the Fifth Daughter of the Emperor's family were cutting things for money.Originally, concubine Zhang Jiashu and the others were favored by the Zhaojia family before they entered the palace, but those slaves didn't dare
presumptuous.But gradually Mrs. Zhao Jia gradually faded out of the ranks of concubines, and those servants could not bear it any longer. Fashionable materials, fashionable vegetables and fruits, they counted as much as they could take, and they didn't care about the body of the fifth daughter of the emperor at all. .Zhao Jiashi almost fainted when he heard it, and shook a few times
The anger in his body and eyes made people shudder.
"Sister, don't worry, the imperial concubine is watching in the palace, let someone report to the imperial concubine first." Wanzhao quickly persuaded, "I should not come forward about this matter, sister, hurry up and let the servants around you do it."
"Thank you, sister." Zhao Jia tightened the handkerchief in his hand.She is not favored, but Wu Gege is also the Emperor's daughter after all, how dare those lowly servant girls trample her like this, it is simply unforgivable!Zhao Jia squatted down and saluted Wan Zhao, and then went to Chengqian Palace angrily.
The follow-up of the incident was simple and straightforward. The imperial concubine did not allow someone to abuse the imperial concubine when she was in charge of the palace affairs. After Kangxi got the news, he became even more angry and wished he could kill this group of slaves by himself.This time he is no longer an emperor, but a
Ama, who was worried about his child, sent a letter directly to the imperial concubine, asking the imperial concubine to strangle these servants directly, and let other nuns who served the prince and princess watch, which was considered a killing chicken and proud monkey.
Time and time again, the servants around the princes and princesses were unable to take care of them. Kangxi also felt that the quality of the nuns assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs was really uneven, which confirmed his determination to rectify the Ministry of Internal Affairs.His children are the future of the Qing Dynasty, and he will never allow anyone to deceive him.
Ling above the royal blood.
This time, it was also fortunate that Concubine Shu saw something was wrong, so that her daughter was saved from being bullied by slaves.
"Concubine Shu...Wanzhao..." Kangxi read silently, looked out of the window at Yinqin who was playing with the crown prince, and thought of the healthy, lively and sensible children she brought up, and his love for Wanzhao in his heart Added a little more.
After that, he set a date to return to Beijing.
"If you count the days, the full moon banquet of the ten elder brothers given by the imperial concubine is over, right?" News came from the middle of Beijing a month ago that the noble concubine Niu Hulu gave birth to an elder brother, and both mother and child are safe.Wan Zhao silently counted the days, and it was probably about time for the concubine to give birth.
"There are still three days left." Luyu helped Wanzhao pack her luggage, "Master asked Nanny Wang to pack up the congratulatory gifts before going out, so don't worry about it now. No matter how bad it is, Master Yi will help to look after it."
"That's right." Wan Zhao said with a smile, "Have you prepared everything for Xiao Liu? If I don't bring her back some gadgets, I'm afraid she will cry again."
"It's ready. The servant took the red fox fur that the emperor rewarded Liu Gege to make a Mongolian costume for Liu Gege; didn't Eighth Brother get a pair of little white rabbits from the prince a few days ago, and I heard it was also prepared for Liu Gege .”
Lian Xin helped Wan Zhao put away all the brocade boxes containing jewelry, "It's a pity that Liu Gege didn't get to see the heroic appearance of the master on horseback."
"You're the only one who talks poorly." Wan Zhao cast a glance at Lian Xin, "It's time to go back after tonight, I really don't want to part with it."
"If the master is reluctant, I will let the emperor take you on tour more in the future. I can see that the emperor is also very kind to the master, and it is not impossible to come out in the future." Luyu laughed, "Eighth elder brother Didn't you keep yelling before that when you grow up, you will hunt skins for the prince yourself?"
"That child Yinbin is ambitious, is he looking for the prince again today?" Wan Zhao said.
"That's right." Lian Xin replied, "The eighth elder brother has been pestering the prince to teach him archery every day these days, and the prince has taught him patiently." The prince is the future heir of the Qing Dynasty. It would be best to make friends with the eldest son.
Wan Zhao fiddled with the lid of the tea gu, but didn't speak.
After Shengjia returned to Shengjing to pick up Concubine Ping, after a while, he finally returned to the capital.As soon as Wanzhao came back, the first thing she did was to have someone boil water for a bath and also have someone rub her shoulders—since she sat in the carriage all day, her bones were going to be hardened.Changed into regular clothes, not much
After a while, Buyechuk ran in with a smile.
"Emiang, do you think I look good?" Buyechuk deliberately changed into the Mongolian clothes that Lian Xin made, and twirled around in front of Wan Zhao beautifully, and the pompoms embroidered on the clothes floated up.
"Why did you change into the clothes so impatiently?" Wan Zhao pulled her over to Bai Ji to have a look, "Lian Xin's embroiderer is really good. Later Er Niang will reward her well. Your brother will return it to you." I brought a pair of rabbits, did you get it?"
"Got it!" Buyechuk chattered around Wanzhao non-stop, asking her what she had seen and heard on the grassland.
When the two mother and daughter were talking happily, Mu Jin brought in a piece of news that Wanzhao didn't know whether it was a surprise or expected: Kangxi issued a decree to summon the royal concubine's sister Tong to enter the palace.On the surface, she is accompanying her sick sister, but in fact... Wanzhao can already [-]%
I'm sure, this little Geshi will probably become a member of the "sisters" in the harem in the future.
"Understood." Kangxi didn't invent a decree to accept her as a concubine, so Wanzhao naturally didn't bother to prepare any congratulatory gifts for her.Someone fetched a pair of red gold long life lock bracelets, which was considered as a meeting gift for Xiao Tong when he went to Chengqian Palace three days later to pay his respects.
"Master doesn't seem to be worried." Mu Jin asked someone to pass the meal, "That young lady of the Tong family is probably going to enter the palace."
"So what, I don't know if the emperor didn't make a decree for a day." Wanzhao didn't pay much attention to the rule of "do not speak when eating and do not speak when sleeping" when eating with her two children. He put his head in Buyechuk's bowl, and after getting a big smile from Buyechuk, he said,
"Even if the emperor orders it, it doesn't matter. She lives in her Chengqian Palace, and I live in my Yongshou Palace. It's far away. If she really wants to mess with me, it's her fault."
"Master is right." Hibiscus spooned a bowl of tofu and crucian carp soup, "This soup has been stewed for a long time, master hastened to taste it. The servant has not seen the master for more than three months, and the master's skin is not as fair as before. If Wang Momo knows, she must force the master to drink soup every day."
"Is it possible not to get dark after being exposed to the sun like this every day outside the Great Wall?" Wan Zhao was very satisfied with her healthy complexion, but she still took a sip of the fish soup, "This soup tastes good, give it to Ge Ge and elder brother Bowl."
"Yes."
After the three-day rest period, Wan Zhao finally went to Chengqian Palace to meet the little Tong.In order to give people a good impression, Wanzhao specially put on a newly made flag dress, with poppy poppies embroidered on a light purple background, bright satin pink and purple trim, and bird-black long hair fixed into a small flat square with silver inlaid gemstones.
Two heads, pinned a few tourmaline silk flowers, two rose crystals with stalks, begonias and jade wings, and a glass eight treasures were placed in the center of the bun.
"The master is so beautifully dressed." Lian Xin handed her a pair of cloisonne earrings inlaid with black agate, "It's so beautiful."
Can a girl in her twenties not look good? Wanzhao looked at her makeup with satisfaction. She didn't like the makeup sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so she rarely used it. A plain face can best highlight the beauty of girls in this age group. Youthful and beautiful.After drawing thrush briefly, Wan Zhao got up and went out.
Now the noble concubine can finally sit up straight and have a clear conscience, not caring about people saying that she can enjoy the honor of noble concubine exclusively because of the dead Empress Xiaozhao.Her face was still a little swollen, and her body was a little rounder than before, but there was a triumphant smile on her face, looking at
When the imperial concubine was an imperial concubine, the curvature of the corners of her mouth deepened.
The concubine funerals present were also waiting to watch the show, so as soon as the little Tong came out, everyone immediately focused on her.Xiao Tong has just turned fifteen this year, and she is as delicate as a dewy rose in the morning. She is dressed in a concubine red and golden begonia flower dress, and she is covered in a pink dress.
The silk-cut gown with ten brocades and some fashionable clothes on the head make her look extraordinarily coquettish.Compared with it, most concubine funerals are much inferior.
"After all, she is a girl from the imperial concubine's family. She is beautiful. She is green and beautiful, making us all old." The concubine pursed her lips and smiled, "It's just fifteen this year, she is really young." Although the emperor didn't say it clearly , but which woman in this palace is not a delicate heart,
Just guess what's going on.
It is not that there is no precedent for sisters serving one husband together in the palace. Niu Hulu's family, Hesheli's family and Guo Luoluo's family are all like this, but Tong's family is a special one after all.The elder sister is the imperial concubine, if this younger sister enters the palace, what is the most suitable position, she can't be named a concubine directly, right?
Concubine Gui and Concubine Ping didn't even have a formal title when they first entered the palace, and Concubine Shu was just a permanent presence.Will this little Tong be treated differently?
The imperial concubine hooked the corners of her mouth stiffly: "Go and pay your respects to all the ladies." My sister didn't have to be sealed as soon as she entered the palace.
She is just a servant girl, so she bowed her bow and bowed her knees to greet the women present.
Little Tong bit her lip and did as she said.The concubines who came brought some meeting gifts, and after receiving them one by one, they returned to the imperial concubine.She still has status, so she can only stand beside the imperial concubine, and she can't even lean on a small bench.The little girl who was born with a partial birth even dressed up specially today
Well, those flowerpot shoes looked a little taller than usual, it was hard for her to stand all morning.
"You have also seen that little Tong, how do you feel?" Please An came back, Concubine Yi called Wan Zhao to her palace, and asked immediately.
"The appearance is good but a little immature, and he can't hide his temper." Wan Zhao didn't ignore the unwillingness and grievance in Xiao Tong's eyes when he came to greet them, "Generally speaking, it's better to be nice. It is estimated that the imperial concubine has already started to prepare, but the Tong family is really brave enough to send another girl from the Tong family in."
"The situation of the Tong family is the most special. The previous dynasties and the harem are related to each other, so the daughters of the Tong family in the harem must be favored. The imperial concubine has fallen, and all the Tong family can't wait to send a girl in. One is to stabilize the emperor. The status of the noble concubine is also to consolidate the previous dynasty
of glory. Concubine Yi said, "However, the emperor seems to have the intention of accepting this girl immediately, and probably has some plans." "
"However, I heard that sending another girl from Tong's family this time seems to have annoyed another Master Tong." Wan Zhao gossiped.The "another Master Tong" in her words is Tong Guogang, uncle of the imperial concubine and Jiang Guowei's elder brother.Compared with Tong Guowei, he has a smoother temper
, Tong Guogang can be said to be a bit unscrupulous, he has a violent temper, and even Kangxi can't control his temper, so Tong Guowei sent his daughter to the palace after discussing with him this time, which made Tong Guogang angry.
"That Tong Guogong's temper is well known in the streets, and sometimes he doesn't act recklessly." Yi Fei laughed, "But he has always been at odds with Imperial Concubine Ama, and it's not a big deal."
Wan Zhao twitched the corner of her mouth.The Duke of Ge ran to his younger brother's house to make a big fuss, pointing at his younger brother's nose and scolding him for relying on his sister and his daughter to be appointed officials and nobles.Wan Zhao heard from Tao Fushou that Tong Guowei was so angry that day that he almost lost his breath.But just
Even if such a incident happened, Kangxi also had any intentions, whether he comforted Tong Guowei or scolded Tong Guogang, it was almost impossible to understand Kangxi's original intention.
"Forget it, after all, it's their family business, and it has nothing to do with us." Wanzhao thought for a while and put the matter behind her, smiling coquettishly with Concubine Yi, "Sister, I haven't met Brother Jiu yet, hug me Come out and let me have a look." The legendary old Jiuye, who is as gorgeous as a peach blossom, Wan Zhao must be
To see.
Concubine Yi glanced at Wan Zhao before she smiled and asked the wet nurse to take the baby out.In all fairness, the child is growing up!The round eyes, the small nose and the small mouth are not as round as when Yin Yi was born, but they are still very cute.Wan Zhao lightly touched the child's
She was envious of the slippery touch of her small hands.
"It's so cute." Wan Zhao kissed that little hand.
Concubine Yi watched the interaction between her sister and her son, and smiled softly from the side.

Wang Chang gave birth to a daughter for Kangxi in October, and when the imperial concubine was ready to hold the child to her knees, Kangxi's will came down.But it was not carried to the Empress Dowager to be raised, but to the Empress Dowager.The empress dowager has been suffering from minor illnesses for a year
Yes, Kangxi couldn't bear her to work hard to raise this child. It happened that Brother Qi was also planning to move back to Xianfu Palace, so he simply let the empress dowager take care of him.
Not adopting Wang Changzai's child does not mean that the empress will be idle when she grows up. She has a hobby recently, which is to invite girls from eight to 13 years old from various families into the palace to chat with her.Wan Zhao silently calculated, the elder brother is thirteen this year, and the crown prince is ten years old this year, so he should be a child in a few years.
Dear, the Empress Dowager is probably preparing for this meeting this time.
Hesheli's family, Yiergenjueluo's family, Shi's family, Dong'e's family... Girls of appropriate age from famous and powerful families in Beijing all came to the palace.Concubine Hui felt itchy in her heart, and wanted to know what kind of Fujin her son would marry in the future.That Irgen Jue Roche is the best
, Manchurian surname, the daughter of Shangshu Keerkun, this Keerkun is also close to his cousin Nalan Mingzhu, so they naturally get closer.
"Have you seen Concubine Hui's appearance today?" Concubine Yi joked with Wan Zhao, "Looking at how anxious she is, I wish I could spend every day in the Palace of Compassion and Empress seeing my daughter-in-law. "
"My sister likes to joke about these things. When the fifth elder brother and the ninth elder brother want to see Fujin, I don't believe that my elder sister can sit still." Wan Zhao hugged Mrs. Tang and sat lazily on the warm kang, Two feet nestled in the thick quilt, "It has suddenly become much colder in the past few days, so it is better to spend the winter
The clothes are ready early, otherwise I don't want to go out yet.The emperor told me that Xiaoliu will move to the princess house after the spring of next year, and I feel very reluctant; Xiaoliu's girl has been clinging to me every day recently, alas. "
"Who wants mother and child to be separated? But this is the rule in the palace, and we all have to abide by it. It is estimated that the fifth elder brother will not live by my side."
long. Concubine Yi also sighed, "The empress dowager is kind-hearted, thinking that elder brother Qi will move to elder brother's house in two years, so she simply graciously let him move back to Xianfu palace to get along with concubine Cheng, so that mother and child will not be separated." rusty. "However, Seventh Elder Brother's Chinese is not good enough. This time, I will move back to live with Concubine Cheng.
Literacy can improve reading and writing.
"Ancestral rules..." It's really inhumane.Wan Zhao complained silently from the bottom of her heart.
The imperial concubine's body is gradually getting better, but her face is still frowning.For no other reason, my younger sister has been in the palace for two months, and she still hasn't been summoned by Kangxi.From the point of view of her little girl, she certainly hopes that the emperor will never be responsible to her sister.
He didn't think about it; but in terms of family honor, she was already half out of favor, and she knew that she needed her sister to turn the tide.
Xiao Tong sat obediently on the side, embroidering a double lotus purse and thinking with girlish feelings.She finally saw her cousin today, so handsome and mighty, he really deserves to be the supreme man in the Qing Dynasty.Her little face was red, and her mind didn't know how to drift away.
Where, I accidentally pricked a blood hole in my hand.
Xiao Tong quickly put her finger in her mouth, looked up and saw Bai Ji's sister was still there in a daze, and said, "Sister, I want to go out for a walk."
It's already a bitterly cold winter, and the imperial concubine saw that her younger sister was dressed warmly, her small face was reddened by the charcoal basin in the room or something, she was annoyed by her delicate appearance .She is almost 27, and her younger sister is only fifteen, the emperor
Sooner or later, she will fall in love with her! Thinking of this, the imperial concubine does not restrain Xiao Tong, and asks someone to accompany her to the imperial garden to relax.
"It's winter, but the master likes to run outside." Baochun approved a female cloak for Xiao Tong, "If it's freezing, the imperial concubine and empress will definitely blame the servants."
"Just talk too much." Xiao Tong glanced at Baochun.Her elder sister didn't care if she was frozen, originally the two sisters rarely saw each other, but she was not used to letting her enter the palace suddenly.On weekdays, no one was obedient to her in the Tong Mansion, but when she came to the palace, she was not ashamed.
She didn't blame her sister for bending her knees.
"The bare imperial garden is nothing to look at, it's not as good as our own mansion." Baochun complained in a low voice.
"Don't talk nonsense, if people hear it, it will only embarrass our Tong family." Although Xiao Tong has complaints about her sister, she also knows that there are some things that cannot be said casually in the palace.She is not a stupid woman, and she also knows why she entered the palace.
Cousin Di noticed himself, and then slowly planned on the rest.
"Your maidservant knows." Baochun stuck out her tongue, "My maidservant just said something casually."
Little Tong walked slowly with the hand stove in his arms, and walked into the plum garden unconsciously.She picked a plum branch and held it in her hand, whispering: "The sharp edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from white bitter cold..."
"That's right, you actually know this line of the poem." A man's voice came from behind, and Xiao Tong looked back, and it turned out that it was his cousin whom he cared about.Her little face was as red as a red plum in the snow. After obediently saluting, she raised her eyes and saw that Kangxi was still standing three meters away from her.
Far, can not help but feel a little discouraged.
Kangxi just passed by by chance, and didn't intend to talk to Xiao Tong.After nodding to her, Kangxi went to the Palace of Compassion and Peace according to the original plan, leaving little Tong behind him waiting to see through.
"The emperor is here." The Empress Dowager opened her sleepy eyes and said with a smile when she saw that Kangxi was pouring tea for her.
"The old ancestor is sleepy, why don't you let someone serve you to sleep?" Kangxi touched the empress dowager's hand, and he was relieved when he saw that her hand was still warm, "I heard from the waiter that the old ancestor has not been sleeping recently. Love to eat, is it because you are unwell?"
"It's cold, so I don't have an appetite. It's okay." The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "The Ai family has met several girls of the right age in the past few days, and they have very good personalities. The emperor is determined to be the eldest Which girl did you decide on?"
"The grandson thinks Irgen Jue Luo is very good, what does the ancestor think?" Yinyin is about to turn fourteen, and Kangxi himself had his first child when he was 14, so he made a decision for the elder brother as early as possible. Marriage is very necessary.Ergen felt that Luo Shi was one year younger than the elder brother,
He has a good family background, looks blessed, and is a good match for his eldest son.
"It's from the Yiergenjueluo family," the empress dowager narrowed her eyes slightly thinking about the girl, and nodded, "That girl is really good, she behaves very politely, and the emperor has a good eye. Wait for the next year's general election , just pick her."
"It's also thanks to the blessings of our ancestors." Kangxi smiled, "The prince is still young, so it doesn't matter if he is not settled this time. The grandson always wants to give him the best look." The Hesheli family is older than the prince. A little older, Kangxi doesn't plan to consider it; girls from Shi's family and Dong'e's family
However, the Shi family belonged to the Han army with a white flag, and Dong E's family was only a Manchurian red flag. Kangxi always felt a little awkward.
"Then let's have a look again, we have so many good girls in the Eight Banners of Manchuria, we will definitely pick one suitable for the eldest son." The Empress Dowager patted
Kangxi's hand, "You seem to seldom go to the imperial concubine's palace recently."
"Grandson... not in the mood." Kangxi twitched his lips.
"Since the girl is passed on to the palace, let's accept it after the next year." The Empress Dowager said, "But don't confer the canonization for now, give her the title of concubine, and follow the concubine's salary. The Ai family doesn't want her either. There was a quarrel with other concubines, so let her live with her sister, anyway
Most of Chengqian palaces are empty side halls. "
"Everything is according to the arrangement of the ancestors." It's not that Kangxi doesn't feel sorry for his cousin, but some things are too serious, and he will never tolerate them. "After the new year, the grandson will make a decree."
The empress did not object, but said: "It is really inappropriate for the daughter of the Tong family to be given a high status. You are thinking about your mother's family, and you have to think about the future of the Qing Dynasty."
"Grandson understands."
At the new year's family banquet, Kangxi finally took care of Xiao Tong and allowed her to accompany the imperial concubine to attend. This small sign was quickly seen through, and people thought it was a prelude to Kangxi's acceptance of Xiao Tong.Concubines like Wan Zhao who don't take this matter to heart naturally take it lightly;
As for those concubines who have opinions, they can't do anything about them, they can only watch Xiao Tong, who is sitting with the imperial concubine, flirt with Kangxi secretly.
"Did you smell something?" Wan Zhao took a sip of the sweet-scented osmanthus wine, smiled and said to Concubine Cheng beside him, "It smells sour."
"You are laughing at a lot of people." Cheng concubine held a veil to cover the smile on her lips, "I can't smell the sour smell anymore, but I can smell the smell of rouge and gouache, so strong that it seems that I have accumulated it all I used all the makeup and powder in one go. It is this drunk sweet-scented osmanthus wine, I
Can't even smell its fragrance. "
"What's the point of you saying that they are competing for beauty like this? The emperor didn't look at them at all." Wanzhao asked another glass of wine to be poured, "Now the emperor's most proud person in front of him is Concubine Ping, and there are also princes, princes, and princes. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. Next is the elder brothers, so
No matter how beautifully she dresses, the emperor probably won't be able to see it. "
"This is called self-deception. You can't fool bystanders, even if you're a fan of the authorities." The seventh prince returned to Cheng Concubine's side now, and it was the best ending for Cheng Concubine.She puts all her heart on her son, and doesn't care whether Kangxi loves her or not, so she can
Talking to Wanzhao and laughing, "It's you, the Tong family has another concubine, aren't you worried?"
"There is nothing to worry about, it's just that the soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth." Wan Zhao looked at the stiff face of the empress and noble concubine, and smiled meaningfully.When a young and beautiful younger sister enters the palace, the imperial concubine is probably the first to bear the brunt.The Tong sisters are different from her and Concubine Yi.
There is a difference of 12 years, a flower as delicate as spring, and a willow that is about to turn into late autumn, who is more anxious and still thinks by himself?

After 23 years, there is an official concubine Tong Shu in the palace.Compared with the noble concubine's favor in the past, this concubine Tong Shu was not as favored as the women in the harem thought. Being flopped once or twice a month was considered pretty good.Of course, there is also Kangxi's reason for this
Inside - Yaksa was invaded by the Russian troops in the north, and Kangxi was dealing with the matter.
Without the emperor's attention to attract, the funeral of all the concubines will settle down.The empress dowager is in danger, the empress dowager is busy with the illness, and the original greetings are also suspended; the imperial concubine also contracted a cold in the early spring, and she has not recovered yet;
Concubine Yi manages the palace affairs and manages the whole palace properly, which also makes Kangxi very satisfied.
In May, Concubine Ping successfully gave birth to her eleventh brother.
"Forget it, I watched the younger brothers born after the fourth elder brother." Wan Zhao looked at her appearance in the mirror.This face is pink and tender, and it looks like he is only in his early twenties.But Wanzhao felt that he had lived in this harem for many years, "It's only 23 years now..."
"Master, why are you feeling so emotional today?" Mu Jin took a comb and rubbed Wan Zhao's hair.After Wang Momo moved to the princess house with Buyechuk, Mu Jin became the aunt in charge of Yongshou Palace.Lianxin and Luyu both hold the monthly salary of a first-class court lady, and promoted coral, jadeite, purple cherry and
Cui Lan's four second-class court ladies.After receiving the flat square from Zi Ying, Mu Jin tied Wan Zhao's long hair into two strands, and put a few flower hairpins with emerald tassels on them.
Isn't it because that dead child Yinyi said that I have white hair on my head!Wanzhao gritted her teeth, it was because her hair was too long and could not keep up with nutrients, so there was a section of whitened hair, no one could see it when it was combed into a bun, but when she was born, the child yelled a few times beside her, and worried look at
Looking at her, afraid that she would be as white as the great empress.Wan Zhao couldn't beat or scold her, so she could only sulking and express emotion at the same time.
"It's okay." Wan Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, "Where's Yin Yin?"
"Brother Ba is in the small study." Ever since Wanzhao started teaching Yinyin how to read, the child has shown great enthusiasm for learning, even putting aside his favorite snacks on weekdays, and looks serious when he is small Grabbing a pen, he kept drawing on the rice paper.word that
It's definitely not very good-looking, but Wanzhao thinks that since the child likes it, then let him go, as long as he doesn't hurt his eyes.
"Tell Guixi to watch and don't tell him to practice until he misses the hour."
"Yes."
In May, Kangxi had the idea of making a southern tour.Firstly, the weather in central Beijing and all over the world is good, and Kangxi also wants to take the opportunity to go to the south of the Yangtze River to see the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River; secondly, the empress dowager has been ill for a long time, and the empress dowager has been working hard to take care of her illness, so it is good to go for a walk to relax .
After setting the time for the southern tour in early September, Kangxi sent an order for people to repair the Jiangnan Palace for pick-up.
Concubine Tong Shu was actually on the list this time, and she was ordered by Kangxi to go to the southern tour with her.Concubine Gui, Concubine Yi, Concubine Zhang Jia, Noble Nala, and Wan Liuha often went out together.Wanzhao did not get the spot to go on tour this time, but because Concubine Wanliu Hashu was pregnant, she had to stay
Come to help take care of her—Wanzhao secretly guessed whether it was because Uncle Kangxi was worried that the imperial concubine would take care of Wanliu Hashi so he had to keep her.Later, he felt that Kangxi probably didn't like him that much, so Su Xing put this thought behind him.
"You have to give birth to this baby well, and give birth to an elder brother to the emperor in a safe and sound way, and the days to come will be easier." The three who entered the palace that year
The newcomer, Wang Changzai, has already given birth to the imperial daughter. Although the concubine Zhang Jiashu has no children, she is blessed with grace, but Wanliu Hashi herself is a bit out of step, and she is also anxious. Otherwise, it will only get more and more anxious.
"Sister knows." Wanliu Hashi was overjoyed, and touched his still flat stomach like a treasure, "This baby is not easy to come by, and my sister will take care of it more carefully."
"That's good." Wanzhao patted her hand, "You are the first child, and there are some things I want to explain to you. The first three months of pregnancy are the most important, so you must take care of them carefully. The emperor has already given birth to you." I decree that you don't have to go to pay your respects first, so you are not afraid of being bumped by anything; it's just that this rouge water
The powder is no longer usable, and all colored glazes in the sleeping hall must be replaced with green glazes, and all those incenses must be banned.As for the food, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send a nanny to explain it to you. "
"Thank you for your teaching, sister." Wan Liuha looked at the half-burning incense burner, and hurriedly asked someone to take it out and throw it away.
"Don't worry, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will let the nanny show you around today. I just want to tell you, don't just stay in the palace all day just thinking about getting pregnant. The fetus is too big. If so, it will be myself who will work hard in the future.”
Wan Liuha pursed his lips, and nodded with a serious face.
Wanzhao is ready to go out this time, but Yinqi Kangxi still decides to take her away.Wanzhao had no choice but to ask people to inquire about the climate and environment in the south of the Yangtze River, and to rush to make new clothes for Yinqi.In September, Jiangnan was hot and humid, and Wan Zhao also asked people to prepare peppermint cream and peppermint oil for emergencies.
With these things, Wanzhao went to Yikun Palace, and happened to see Concubine Yi getting ready, so she went up and said, "Sister, are you busy?"
"You're here, sit down quickly." Concubine Yi never cared about the etiquette of saluting with Wan Zhao. Seeing that Wan Zhao was carrying a small burden, she said, "What is this? It's for me?"
"Exactly." Wanzhao asked Lvyu to lift up the small bundle, and took out two small boxes made of white jade. As soon as they were opened, a cool mint aroma wafted out, "I asked someone to make a few boxes of white jade. Peppermint ointment is the best to dispel the wind and dissipate heat. The heat and humidity in the south of the Yangtze River are unbearable, so my sister should bring it."
"It's hard for you to think of it." Yifei smiled and accepted it, "I just wanted to take a few pills to dispel the heat, and it would be great if you could make this for me. Speaking of which, I have to ask you thing."
"Sister, please tell me."
"Elder Brother Nine is still young, so he definitely can't follow me this time. Although there are many mothers and wet nurses in the palace, I still feel a little worried. You should come and see Elder Nine more often." It is a great favor to be able to go on tour with the emperor, but Concubine Yi still thinks that she will be one year old
The child, "You also know that child is very naughty, and he wants to go out even after learning how to walk. I can't control it anymore, and I'm worried that the servants in the palace will not be able to control me after I go out."
"Does my sister think that I can control it?" Wanzhao said with a smile, "But since my sister has asked me to do so, I will do my best, and I will also ask my sister to help me keep Yinqi in check."
"That's natural."
On the third day of September, the southern tour set off.The three giant Buddhas walked away from the palace at once, and the anger suddenly relaxed a lot.Buyechuk took the opportunity to come back several times, always sticking to Wanzhao, saying how boring the life of the princess is, and how much he misses Erniang and his younger brother, so as to get a meal order.
right.
"You just like to eat these, how would you like to become a little chubby girl after eating them?" Wan Zhao looked at Buyechuk chewing snacks with a happy face, and smiled from the side.
"Ukuma Mama said that girls are lucky if they are round." Buyechuk said with a smile, "Otherwise, it won't look good if you become as thin as the fifth sister next door who looks like wicker."
"Fifth Sister?" Wan Zhao thought about it. Isn't that the daughter of the cloth nobleman Zhao Jia? How could she be as thin as a wicker? She has seen Da Gege and San Gege, which definitely fit the empress's mouth The appearance of the "blessing" mentioned in the book.She frowned slightly and asked someone to invite Zhao Jia over.
"There has always been a nanny watching in the princess's house, and Wu'er has always been fine when he greeted me. I don't know what happened." Zhao Jia looked at Wanzhao in bewilderment.Her daughter is quiet and rarely tells her what's on her mind, so she doesn't know what Wan Zhao is asking for.
"Sister, don't worry, I'll ask someone to find out." After finishing speaking, he asked Lin Changxing to go to the princess's place to gossip.This gossip actually brought out the fact that the nuns next to the Fifth Daughter of the Emperor's family were cutting things for money.Originally, concubine Zhang Jiashu and the others were favored by the Zhaojia family before they entered the palace, but those slaves didn't dare
presumptuous.But gradually Mrs. Zhao Jia gradually faded out of the ranks of concubines, and those servants could not bear it any longer. Fashionable materials, fashionable vegetables and fruits, they counted as much as they could take, and they didn't care about the body of the fifth daughter of the emperor at all. .Zhao Jiashi almost fainted when he heard it, and shook a few times
The anger in his body and eyes made people shudder.
"Sister, don't worry, the imperial concubine is watching in the palace, let someone report to the imperial concubine first." Wanzhao quickly persuaded, "I should not come forward about this matter, sister, hurry up and let the servants around you do it."
"Thank you, sister." Zhao Jia tightened the handkerchief in his hand.She is not favored, but Wu Gege is also the Emperor's daughter after all, how dare those lowly servant girls trample her like this, it is simply unforgivable!Zhao Jia squatted down and saluted Wan Zhao, and then went to Chengqian Palace angrily.
The follow-up of the incident was simple and straightforward. The imperial concubine did not allow someone to abuse the imperial concubine when she was in charge of the palace affairs. After Kangxi got the news, he became even more angry and wished he could kill this group of slaves by himself.This time he is no longer an emperor, but a
Ama, who was worried about his child, sent a letter directly to the imperial concubine, asking the imperial concubine to strangle these servants directly, and let other nuns who served the prince and princess watch, which was considered a killing chicken and proud monkey.
Time and time again, the servants around the princes and princesses were unable to take care of them. Kangxi also felt that the quality of the nuns assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs was really uneven, which confirmed his determination to rectify the Ministry of Internal Affairs.His children are the future of the Qing Dynasty, and he will never allow anyone to deceive him.
Ling above the royal blood.
This time, it was also fortunate that Concubine Shu saw something was wrong, so that her daughter was saved from being bullied by slaves.
"Concubine Shu...Wanzhao..." Kangxi read silently, looked out of the window at Yinqin who was playing with the crown prince, and thought of the healthy, lively and sensible children she brought up, and his love for Wanzhao in his heart Added a little more.
