Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

A standing statue of Avalokitesvara with thousands of eyes and arms stands on the altar with a compassionate and compassionate face.

Tian Mi, who was kneeling on the futon, handed the three sticks of incense to Herring, who took it and put it in the incense burner.The fourth elder brother handed the three sticks of incense in his hand to Qing Feng who was standing on the side, Qing Feng took it and respectfully inserted it into the incense burner.

Tian Mi coughed a few times in a low voice, the fourth elder brother quickly patted her on the back, and asked with concern: "Does Er Niang want to drink water?"

Tian Mi took a few deep breaths, feeling her lungs shrank into a ball, making it difficult to breathe.Hearing the fourth elder brother's question, I couldn't help but smile at the corners of my mouth, with loving eyes, and said softly: "Don't worry, dear son, my mother is just a little itchy in her throat, maybe it's because of the dry weather recently. Go back and let them Stew pears and drink for a few days."

The fourth elder brother nodded heavily, "Emiang, son, go back and bring you pear juice."

As he spoke, he stood up and supported Tian Mi, and told him, "Mother, please slow down."

"What a good boy, our fourth elder brother acts and talks like a little adult now."

The fourth elder brother blushed and said awkwardly, "Don't say that."

Tian Mi couldn't help but put her hand on his bare forehead and rubbed it, it felt so good.At this time, I can't help but thank the Buddha and Bodhisattva, and thank the gods in the east and the angels in the west. It feels so good to be alive, and it feels even better to have a family.If Mantian Gods and Buddhas really exist, I really thank you for allowing me to have a healthier body and family than before, and I will have more in the future.Sister Tong, thank you, thank you for everything you gave, I hope you can rest in peace in another world.

"My mother, be careful of the steps."

"Yeah, don't worry, there are slaves, Erniang is safe now." Tian Mi held his little hand, "Don't worry, Erniang just walked a few steps, and Erniang has been lying on the bed for several days. You should come down and walk."

Tian Mi and the fourth elder brother returned to the main hall from the Buddhist hall, and the palace lady Qingniao brought up the medicine, "Mother, this is the morning bowl, you haven't drunk the morning one yet."

Tian Mi brought it over and drank half a bowl. She couldn't drink it anymore. The medicine was too bad. Ever since she took the medicine, she always had porridge and side dishes. I don't know if the taste was too bland or the medicine spoiled her appetite. , I haven’t eaten anything until now, and I haven’t had enough to eat for several days, making my limbs weak and weak.

And I don't know if there are any soothing herbs in this medicine, I feel dizzy every time I drink it.Tian Mi handed the remaining half bowl of medicine to the maid next to her, her eyelids were about to close, "I'm sleepy, go to sleep for a while, take care of elder brother."

Tian Mi tried her best to hold up her smile, and told the fourth elder brother who was standing beside her, "Go out and play first, child, and let Erniang sleep for a while."

Several maids supported her, removed the ornaments on her head, took off her robe, helped her to fall down, covered her with a quilt and changed the incense, leaving one to guard, and the others retreated one by one.

The palace maid Qingfeng came out and saw that the fourth elder brother was still guarding outside the bedroom, so she advised him to go out to play for a while, "Don't worry, elder brother, the empress will wake up later, why don't you go to the fifth elder brother to play the spinning top, the day before yesterday and Yesterday, Brother Wu came to play with you for two consecutive days, but you didn't agree."

"Who wants to play with him, hum."The fourth elder brother was annoyed, and before he could finish speaking, he heard someone outside announce that the fifth elder brother was coming.

The little fat fifth elder brother ran all the way in from the gate of Chengqian Palace, calling fourth brother in Mongolian.

The fourth elder brother couldn't help but ran over and scolded him to stop shouting, "What are you shouting about, my mother just fell asleep. You are making such a fuss, can she sleep well?"

"Oh, I don't know that Tong Eniang just fell asleep, but I have two news to tell you today. I heard it from the Empress Dowager and the ancestors of the Empress Dowager. Do you want to hear it?"

Qingfeng looked at the two chubby, white and tender children with serious expressions. You looked at me and you looked at you. I couldn't help but want to laugh. If I laughed, the two masters would become angry, so I endured it. Laughing, "You two elder brothers, why don't you go to the backyard to play, that place is empty, and the servants will send you the spinning tops."

The fourth elder brother raised his chin, "Come with me to the back, if the news you tell is not good, I won't play with you."

The two of them took two sets of spinning tops, drove away the serving servants far away, and sat under the verandah in the backyard. The fifth elder brother first said a message, "The ancestors of the empress dowager and the empress dowager said that they want to seal the harem, Tong E Mother can at least be an imperial concubine this time, and my younger brother heard that when Tong Erniang recovers from illness, she will be in charge of palace affairs."

The fourth elder brother became happy, "Great, Er Niang must be happy. Why is it the imperial concubine and not the queen?"

"Your brother told you not to be upset. The old ancestor said that there are rumors about the wife of Emperor Amak." After speaking, he quickly turned his head and looked around, and found that only the two brothers were relieved. "What the old ancestor meant was that Said that if Tong Niangniang became a queen, she is so delicate now, maybe she will go someday. The ancestor also said, just because Tong Niangniang fished our brothers out of the lake the day before yesterday, it is enough to be a queen. I will go back and talk to My mother-in-law said, my mother-in-law also felt sorry."

The fourth elder brother also sighed, "Oh, I'm the one who got Er Niang into trouble. I was a jerk before, and I didn't even know that Er Niang treated me well."

Fifth elder brother looked at him, thought for a while and asked, "Did you hear the second news? It's about Empress Debi."

The fourth elder brother listened, "No" just came to his lips, and frowned, "What's wrong with the concubine? Did Huang Ama and the ancestor finally punish her and the sixth son?"

"Do you want Huang Ama and the old ancestor to punish her? She... My mother said that she was right the day before yesterday. She just refused to save her. She can only say that she can't punish her, and she can't even say that she can't be punished." , She handles things impeccably, and my mother-in-law said she couldn't catch anything. Besides, I rewarded her again today."

"Why?" The fourth elder brother stood up excitedly.

"This is the second news that my brother wants to tell you. The imperial doctor just found out that she is pregnant."

"Humph", the fourth elder brother sat down coldly, thinking in his heart that she had escaped unharmed.After a long time, he asked: "We were pushed into the lake and almost drowned the day before yesterday. Do you remember? I do."

The fourth elder brother recalled that the day before yesterday he followed Er Niang to Zhongcui Palace, where Wei Gui gave birth to an eighth brother, and everyone went to give gifts.At that time, Er Niang brought her, Concubine Yi brought her fifth younger brother, and Concubine De took her sixth elder brother. The adults were talking there, and she went out to play with her fifth younger brother, sixth elder brother, and seventh younger brother from Zhongcui Palace.

Next door to Zhongcui Palace is the Royal Garden, and the four young elder brothers were mischievous and drove away the people around them.These slaves didn't dare to disobey their master, so they had to follow from a distance. The four children ran further and further away, and finally stopped by the lake.Stopping here is not for a rest, but for the sixth and seventh brothers to quarrel.

Lao Qi has a problem with his legs and feet, so he can't run fast. When he can't run, he yells at his older brothers to run slower.Sixth elder brother felt that this younger brother was holding back and getting in the way.I couldn't help but stop and push this younger brother, Fifth Brother couldn't see it, "Why do you push him?"

"I said don't take him out, but you want to take him out, it's not good to play with him, and if you don't drive him back, the young master can only drive him away by himself."

The fifth elder brother was angry, and felt that the sixth elder brother was bullying his younger brother, so he quarreled with him.

The fourth elder brother recalled that he went to pull them away at this time, and then he didn't know why the three brothers started fighting, and he didn't know who kicked the fifth elder brother into the water. Looking for help, I was about to turn around and ask the sixth elder brother to help me, when I found that someone pushed me behind my back, and the fourth elder brother also fell into the water with a splash.

At this time, De concubine came with the maid. She saw the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother thumping in the water, and then looked at the dumbfounded sixth elder brother, and quickly hugged the sixth elder brother and cried.

The fourth elder brother still remembers what happened at that time, and couldn't help but ask the fifth elder brother, "Why did Debi cry at that time? She said, 'Yinzuo, if you have a third elder who is shorter, what should I do with Erniang?' What?" What should I do? She doesn't even think about me dying, what should she do?"

The fifth elder brother who was sitting under the Chaoshou veranda patted him, "Don't think so much, didn't your mother-in-law and my mother-in-law come together later?"

Later, the seventh elder brother found the person, and Yifei and Tian Mi, who had just recovered from a serious illness, rushed over. The fourth elder brother saw Er Niang without hesitation, threw off his shoes and jumped down, and handed himself over to the rushing man. The eunuch went to pull the fifth elder brother again.

"Er Niang is really a kindness to me. At the critical moment, my biological mother was indifferent, and only my adoptive mother desperately saved me." The fourth elder brother lowered his head, and after three days, he still couldn't help but want to cry.

The fifth elder brother patted him, "My mother said that Tong's mother has great kindness to our mother and son. No matter how mean Tong's mother is to her later, she will bear it and will never speak back."

"My mother is not that kind of person, she is not mean at all."

"She often laughs at my mother-in-law for not being educated." The fifth elder brother sighed, "I can't read, and I can't speak Chinese. Most of the servants in the palace don't understand what I'm talking about, right? , It was definitely Lao Liu who kicked me off that day, and he even pushed you. I told Ama Huang, and Ama Huang said that I made a mistake, and that it was found out. It was the eunuch of the Imperial Garden who pushed us. Yes, there are witnesses and material evidences, and the witnesses are the sixth son, so fuck him, I saw him push you with my own eyes, Huang Ama just didn’t believe it. Just like what my mother said, Debi must have given Huang Ama Ecstasy soup."

The fourth elder brother didn't care whether he had filled the ecstasy soup, but he was relieved after this incident, "I will only have one mother from now on, you don't know the suffering of two mothers. From now on, I will honor my mother alone. Now, no matter who says I don't respect my biological mother in the future, Huang Ama won't blame me, that's great."

The fifth elder brother put the spinning top in his hand aside, "Now that Tong E Niang has fallen asleep, why don't you and I go to Lagu Su Ma and ask her whether Tong E Niang is the imperial concubine or the queen? "

"it is good."
