Guoluo Luo's in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 9 Tong Guifei

"Are you quarreling with that nobleman just now?" As soon as she entered Yipin's main hall, she heard Yipin ask abruptly.

Wanzhao pouted, nodded and admitted, but she still wanted to defend herself: "It was the nobleman who provoked me first, and I really couldn't stand it before I answered her. My sister didn't mean to give birth to me." Are you mad?"

"You girl, if you don't sing, you will become a blockbuster. Although the nobleman is not a high-born girl, she is also a girl from the Ulanara clan, and her status is also higher than yours. You dare to quarrel with her like this, thanks to me before. I also praised you for being calm." Yipin nodded Wanzhao's nose and said, "Fortunately, she was wrong first, and it's not wrong for you to pay back. It's just that this palace pays attention to the superiority and inferiority. You can be so impulsive again."

"I know, there won't be a next time. Sister, please forgive me this time, don't read it again, there will be another wrinkle on my face." Wan Zhao said coquettishly.

"You little ancestor, let me stop worrying and I will be Amitabha." Yipin said "I really can't do anything with you", "Also, when you meet the prince in the future, remember not to be as casual as today. After all, that is the emperor's most beloved son, even if I see it, I have to give up three points." Thinking of this little ancestor sharing candy with the prince today, Yipin felt her heart skip a beat.That's the prince!Even the empress should be careful with her. Why did my sister, who seemed to have a weak head, get involved with the prince so directly?

"Yes." Wanzhao just simply likes children, "I only teased the prince because he was cute."

"The crown prince has a noble status, and his biological mother is the emperor's most respected Empress Ren Xiao, who is now raised by the emperor himself. If us concubines get too close to him, people will suspect that he is using the crown prince to get close to the emperor." Yi Bin said, "Even the one who lives in Kunning Palace now can only treat each other with courtesy. In order to avoid suspicion, you should pay more attention."

"Understood." Alas, you miserable little prince, isn't there a woman in the palace who really treats you well?Wan Zhao shook her head slightly and sighed.

Of course not, counting the empress dowager and the empress dowager, there are two women who really care for the prince.

Time has come to November slowly, waiting for the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare all the winter clothes such as vests, muffs, cotton trousers, and cloaks, as well as hand stoves, charcoal basins, soup pots, and other warming items. Winter has come quietly.Wanzhao was sitting on the kang mattress, holding a warm hand stove in her arms, copying the copybook stroke by stroke—this was a new joy she found for herself in winter, although it was a bit monotonous, it was better than boring every day. Sitting has meaning.

"My little master has been practicing calligraphy for half an hour, let's take a break and relax." Hibiscus brought milk tea, "This tea is freshly made, with a lot of milk added, my little master taste it while it's hot."

Wan Zhao moved her stiff fingers, looked out through the screen window, and said, "The sky is gray, is it going to snow?"

"Probably so. The people from Qin Tianjian also said that the first snow will fall in the next two days." Mu Jin helped Wanzhao put aside the copied copybook, "It's getting colder, so I should pay extra attention to keep warm. I heard that when the temperature was cooling down, the empress did not pay attention and caught a cold, and she is still lying down."

"Didn't you say it's all over the place? Why are you lying down again?" Wanzhao also heard about the queen's discomfort, and asked someone to send something to express her condolences. It was only yesterday that she heard that she was recovering soon. I did not expect another version today.

"The empress is stubborn, and she is thinking about arranging New Year's affairs before her body recovers, so she is tired again." Mu Jin said, "The emperor takes pity on the empress, and now he only asks her to be a good life general, and all the palace affairs are handled. Hand it over to Concubine Tong."

This Concubine Tong is the daughter of the first-class Duke Tong Guowei, the cousin of Kangxi, the adoptive mother of Yongzheng, and the empress Xiaoyiren in history.Wanzhao has only met this imperial concubine twice, and in his memory she is also a gentle and beautiful woman, who is more liked by Kangxi than the empress.Wan Zhao tilted her head and said, "Concubine Tong is the second in command of the harem other than the empress, so she should be in charge of palace affairs." You can't ask the Empress Dowager or the Empress Dowager to come forward.

"The young master thinks so, but others may not." Mu Jin said quite meaningfully.

"It's up to them to think what other people think. If they have the ability, they will sit on the imperial concubine's position, and then go and complain to others." Wanzhao picked up the pen and wrote silently in front of the copybook, "Tell the person on duty, don't Gossip with other people. If word spreads that the name of Yikun Palace is ruined, don't work here in the future." Concubine Tong Gui is deeply liked by Uncle Kangxi, and she is in a high position, so she should be in charge of palace affairs.If you have time to babble here, those women might as well go and curry favor with Uncle Kangxi first.

"Yes."

"My lord, the emperor turned over the sign of Concubine An today." The empress fell ill, and all the power of the six palaces fell into the hands of Concubine Tong, so she naturally had the right to ask the emperor which palace to stay in.Hearing that Concubine An is serving the bed tonight, Concubine Tong finally feels at ease.This Concubine An is from the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army. She was canonized together with Concubines Hui, Concubine Yi, Concubine Duan, Concubine Xi and Concubine Jing in August this year.Now she is busy preparing for the New Year's Eve, and she doesn't care about the deep affection with her cousin, but she also doesn't want someone to come out of nowhere to win the favor.

"Understood." Concubine Tong stamped the stamp with a "click", "Tell the people around the emperor to pay attention, and prepare the umbrella and cloak. It is going to snow outside, and serve the emperor carefully."

"Your servant knows." Mian Xia, who was beside Concubine Tong, said, "The servant just came back from the House of Internal Affairs and heard a lot of gossip, both inside and outside, saying that the master took advantage of the unwell state of his son and empress to seize power."

"Mouths grow on them, and they can say whatever they like. The emperor's cousin has given permission to control my palace's management of palace affairs. Could it be that they dare to go against the emperor's cousin's will and not cooperate with my palace? "Concubine Tong Gui can take it easy.There is no way, people in high positions will inevitably attract people's hatred, especially those concubines who are attached to the queen, they must not see her taking over the palace power without making a sound.

"But what they said was so ugly that the servants couldn't listen anymore."

Concubine Tong Gui gave herself an angry look at her personal maid.She has been in the harem for so many years, and she has heard even worse things. If she really cared about what these people said, she might kill herself.Mian Xia is a loyal girl, but it's a pity that she is a dead-headed girl.

"You have this spare time to inquire about these things, why don't you help me find out whether the charcoal in each palace has been distributed on time." Concubine Tong glanced at her, "The emperor ordered that the empress add more charcoal basins. In addition, Concubine Hesheli and Guo Chang made an exception to add a few more bolts of good cloth, you can go to the House of Internal Affairs and talk to the manager later."

"Yes." Mian Xia replied, "This concubine of Hesheli is nothing more than a concubine, after all, she is the younger sister of the former empress; but Guo Changzai has also caught the eyes of the emperor quietly. Fortunately, Guo Changzai My elder sister is on good terms with the master, and she is not partial to the empress, so Guo Changzai probably won't be at odds with the master."

"It doesn't matter whether it's silent or sudden, the emperor has her in his heart, and I just want to treat her well." But speaking of it, Guo Changzai was very lucky. It left a good impression on the prince again.No, it's just that the empress dowager chatted with the prince, and the emperor is in his heart.

Concubine Tong Gui also knew a little about the imperial garden, after all, she also mentioned it a little when Kangxi came to Chengqian Palace and talked about the prince.If it's really too much flattery, does the little prince also like someone who cares about him like his elders?It's a pity that the queen is the crown prince's nominal aunt. After all, I, a childless concubine, can't have much contact with the prince.Don't you see that Guo Changzai never saw the prince again after that encounter in the Royal Garden.

But Concubine Tong Gui felt sour when talking about the child.She has served the emperor's cousin for so many years and there is still no news at all. The Guo Luoluo family knows that it is time to send a young girl into the palace as a pet, so should she also find a good girl in the Tong family? After the new year j□j is over, let people enter the palace?

It would be great if I could have a child of my own.Concubine Tong rubbed her belly, feeling melancholy.

The author has something to say: ① This is from Baidu. It seems that the etiquette system of four concubines and six concubines was not followed at that time.

Also, do you want the fourth elder brother to be born as a concubine De, if not, how about I change his mother?
