Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

Not long after the sixth elder brother was buried, the concubine De was promoted to concubine De.

According to the past practice, everyone should go over to congratulate, and there should be two or three days of lively drama in the garden.But because Concubine De had just passed away her son, it would be a bit inappropriate to congratulate her happily at this time.

So all the empresses tacitly sent someone to give a generous gift, and each found a reason not to go there.Tian Mi's reason is ready-made, she wants to accompany the ancestors of the empress dowager and the empress dowager to worship Buddha.

In order to take care of them, Buddhist temples were specially built in the garden, namely Enmu Temple and Enyou Temple.In addition to the two Buddhist temples, there is also a Guandi Temple and a Fujun Temple.There are also Dragon King Temple and Niangniang Temple. For Buddhism and Taoism, it is really raining and dew.What makes Tian Mi even more wonderful is that the Empress Dowager treats all beliefs equally, and they are all very enthusiastic and devout, so she can't feel that she has neglected anyone.

When the lamas from the Yellow Sect came to visit, the old lady beamed with joy. When the monks from the Central Plains gave her lectures, the old lady listened happily. She heard that there is Theravada Buddhism in the south, and the old lady expressed her longing for the future. .The same applies to Taoism.

With this attitude alone, Tian Mi felt that she could study for a lifetime.

Today, incense was burned in the temple, and the empress dowager returned to her place with a group of female relatives.Concubine Gui and Concubine Hui and Concubine De are holding things to serve, Tian Mi can have a seat for them to serve.

The Empress Dowager is a chubby, very rich and kind old lady, usually smiling no matter what she is talking or doing, she took the handkerchief from the imperial concubine and wiped her hands, and said to the concubine De who was standing aside: "These few days Tian is a good day for you, and you don't need to wait on me, go back."

Concubine De had to say a few more words of humility, "Serving the ancestors is the job of a concubine. How can such a happy event for a concubine compare to being flattered in front of the ancestors."

"Knowing that you are loyal, you step back."

That's what the Empress Dowager said, Concubine De couldn't help but continue to stand here, and hurriedly took her maids to leave.

The Empress Dowager also dismissed Concubine Hui, "Knowing your filial piety, you don't need to stand here on a hot day, go back and rest early."

Concubine Hui agreed and withdrew.

Tian Mi held a golden bowl and drank Mongolian milk tea. She carefully tasted what the old lady said. She used "loyalty" to Concubine De and "filial piety" to Concubine Hui.This old lady is quite interesting.

At this time, the old lady sent the maid to move a seat for the noble concubine, "You have been busy for a long time, sit down and rest, there is hard work without credit!"

When the concubine heard this, she didn't know whether she should sit down or not. The words turned around in her mind, and she quickly knelt down, "Don't dare to take credit in front of the ancestors. The credit has not been established..."

"You also know that you have no credit?"

Who is this hitting on?Tian Mi quickly put the golden bowl in her hand aside, "Ancestor, she is young after all, and she doesn't see things comprehensively. It is precisely the ancestor who needs to teach her."

"Get up and sit down."

The imperial concubine sat back carefully, but she just sat on the edge of a stool, and she sat tremblingly.Sitting in this seat is too painful, she hastened to see the imperial concubine.Tian Mi thought to herself that the imperial concubine had followed the rules these few days, and she did everything right, so why was she still being made things difficult?

Suddenly, Tian Mi remembered what Qingmei had told her about the noble concubine being ordered to investigate the sixth elder brother's matter, and I'm afraid there will be no results until now.So today because of this, the old lady let go.

This kind of thing has never been done by me, it has nothing to do with me, and this matter is very difficult no matter how you look at it, Tian Mi pretends not to know.

The old lady just beat the imperial concubine, let the things in the palace go out, and left the queen mother who had been silent all along, Lagu Su Ma, Tian Mi and the imperial concubine.

"Brother Six didn't ask you to investigate this matter that night, and you haven't even found out a single splash. You are too... Tell me, do you have hard work or credit?"

The noble concubine quickly stood up and knelt down again, "It's not that the ancestors and concubines have not investigated this matter, but they have been checked over and over again..." She couldn't continue speaking.

"You are really useless," the old lady patted the table angrily, "You said you... What kind of methods did your sister use when she was a noble concubine, what kind of skills were that, let's look at you again."

Tian Mi quickly stood up and rubbed the old lady's back, "Old Ancestor, why don't you give her a little more time and let her continue the investigation?"

"No need, I can't count on her for this matter," then the wife sighed, "My wife will do this matter herself."

After speaking, he waved his hand to let the imperial concubine go down. After the imperial concubine left, the old lady immediately put away the expression on her face and let the maids come in again.Leading the Queen Mother, He Tianmi and Lagu Su Ma started to play cards.It was as if what had just happened didn't exist at all.

It took a long time for Tian Mi to react to being tricked by the old lady at this time. After realizing it, she had already lost several times in a row.

Tian Mi even bet the bead flowers on her head on the card table. While fiddling with the leaf cards, Tian Mi begged the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, "You two also let go, and let the concubine win once."

The empress dowager was overjoyed, "He lost to us two on purpose, and you can't win no matter what you fight...you say you!"

Holding the old lady was happy, and 1234 really didn't know how to play cards, so he didn't need to be too deliberate, and in the end he lost all the nail sets in his hand.Tian Mi looked at her earrings, beads, bracelets and rings on the table, she turned her head and said to Qingmei: "Go quickly, tell the emperor to redeem me with silver."

Kangxi was invited over, and he was fine in the afternoon. When he came, Tian Mi was pinned on the poker table and couldn't get up. Grandmother and aunt were very excited about the game, so they played a few rounds for fun.

He also clamored to win back the things that Tian Mi lost. Sure enough, he was the only one who made a big killing at the poker table, and the old lady never won. The old lady happily returned these things, until Tian Mi and Kangxi didn't even close their mouths when they left.

On the way back, Kangxi asked Tian Mi to walk back with him, and the two of them were carried on the ladder, and Kangxi thought of Concubine Yi when the evening breeze blew.

"Only Concubine Yi can match up with the ancestors. You can't, and you haven't won a match. Now half of the summer has passed, and it's time to change Concubine Yi."

So Concubine Hui and Concubine De both received the news that night, and hurriedly made room to exchange Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi.

Concubine Hui was unhappy, she had a stern face all night, Mrs. Wei had already planned that if it was too hot in the palace, she would put the infant Eighth Brother in the Royal Garden, where it would be cooler.It's just that the eighth elder brother is being raised by Concubine Hui, so what should I say then?

Concubine De didn't have time to have her own thoughts, she heard a commotion in the yard on her side, just sent someone out to inquire, and the eldest palace maid Jinxiu came back to report.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what tricks she used. She begged for mercy in front of the imperial concubine, saying that she wanted to move to Ruizhu Garden to squeeze with others. She is now making room."

"She's not going back to the palace?" Concubine De originally planned to deal with Huang Guiren, but it was entirely because of the matter of Brother Six who had stopped in the middle, and Concubine De also knew from the group of surviving eunuchs of Brother Six This problem was all due to a young eunuch in Huang Guiren's hands deliberately showing off.

Concubine De didn't believe that this little eunuch wanted to please my little brother, but that bitch wanted to teach my son to be bad!

When she first heard the news, she was already gearing up to teach Huang Guiren a lesson, but now this bitch wants to get out of her control.

It would be hard to do anything unless Huang Guiren was put under her nose. Thinking of this, she asked Jinxiu to go out and inquire. "There are a lot of people like Huang Guiren in the palace. There are many people who are better looking than him, and read more than him... But she is not top-notch. Why does the imperial concubine look at him favorably? You Go out and inquire and find out what's going on?"

In the middle of the night, all the things outside have been packed, and Concubine De just lay down and came back from the news.

"Huang Guiren said that he has a way to prevent the seventh master of Niu Hulu's family, A Ling'a, from competing with Duke Faka for the title."

This involved the internal struggle of Niu Hulu's family. Kangxi's second queen, Empress Xiaozhaoren, was the daughter of Ye Bilong, the assistant minister.Ye Bilong had three direct wives, the first two were the daughters of noble princes, they both died before him and left no sons behind, the third wife was young and gave birth to a direct son A Ling, A Ling When Ah was four years old, Ye Bilong died, and their mother and son were unable to compete with Faka for the title.

Because Faka, Empress Xiaozhaoren, and Concubine Niu Hulu are brothers and sisters of the same mother, and they are the children of Ye Bilong's side Fujin Shu Shujueluo.Moreover, Faka is actually the eldest son. When Ye Bilong died, he had already married, so he naturally inherited the title.

But Fakata is a bastard and often gets into trouble. He used to have his sister to help him, but now he doesn't know how to restrain himself. guard.By the way, since they entered the customs, their generation of military children has become more and more incompetent, and they have learned to be domineering and unreasonable. People say that these people are bullies.In Kangxi's view, these people are idiots, only A Ling'a looks a little bit.As a result, Aling'a, who was valued highly, coveted the title in a high-profile manner. He said that he was the legitimate son, and the title should belong to him by nature.

Concubine Niu Hulu was naturally worried, so nobleman Huang offered advice.

Concubine De sneered after hearing this, "Does she have that ability? The Huang family has this ability, and still need to send her into the palace?"

"This servant thinks that his method may be successful, otherwise why would the imperial concubine agree to it?"

"What way, tell me quickly."
