Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

Recently, major events have occurred in the palace one after another, and each event is closely related to their future destiny.

It is undeniable that the emperor is old.

After the crown prince fell, who is the new crown prince?

Concubine Liang suddenly appeared at this time, and she herself felt that she hadn't figured out everything yet. A copy of the imperial decree was stuffed into her dizzy hand, and then smiling faces came over and said congratulations over and over again.

how can that be possible?How could she become a concubine herself?

But everything is so real, Concubine Liang was dazed from the moment she received the imperial decree until it was dark at the end, her feet seemed to be stepping on clouds, and she walked like she was crooked .

In the end, everyone retreated. She was about to rest. The maids helped her to lie down and covered her with a quilt. When she was about to leave with a candle, she suddenly sat up and grabbed the hand of the maid.

"I seemed to have a dream just now. I dreamed that your eighth master told me that I had become a concubine."

Seeing her like this, the court lady couldn't help laughing, "Your Majesty, why don't you believe that you have really become a nobleman on the throne of concubine?"

"How is it possible? I am a Xin Zhe Ku sin slave, the emperor will never let me be a concubine."

"Your Majesty, Eighth Master said that you can't tell me what happened in the past. It's all in the past. Now it's true. Don't believe it. Go to bed early. Tomorrow, the empresses of various palaces will come to you Congratulations."

Concubine Liang was coaxed to lie down by the maid. What happened today was really unexpected. She tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. She didn't fall asleep until after midnight.

And the news that the deposed prince returned to Yuqing Palace and the thirteenth elder brother returned to the elder brother's house was also widely spread.

Compared with the frustration of these two people, the eighth elder brother seems to be proud of himself.

The source of this kind of spring breeze is the concubine Liang concubine. First of all, the will of other people to concubine concubine is sent by the Ministry of Rites. Sudden promotion of the staff makes people think about it.

A brick in the palace can speak, let alone this time, those carefully calculated dialogues to please and disdain are staged in any corner of the Forbidden City all the time.

Hong Hui, who was treated preferentially in the study room yesterday, returned to Tian Mi today with a bit of displeasure, "Ma'am, my grandson has only been proud for a day, and those people who flattered my grandson yesterday all shrank back today." go back."

Tian Mi couldn't help laughing when she saw his pouted lips, "What's wrong? Are you worrying about gains and losses?"

"It's just that I feel uncomfortable. These guys bowed their knees to their grandson yesterday. Today, they didn't see their grandson at that time. They hid if they could. If they couldn't hide, they came up to say hello."

"Isn't that the case? This is also very good, let you feel what it means to be warm and cold."

"The grandson has already felt it."

At this moment, laughter suddenly came from outside Chengqian Palace, Tian Mi just raised her head and glanced in the direction of the courtyard.

Hong Hui came in from the outside, of course he knew what kind of grand occasion was going on inside the palace road outside. The empresses in the harem were all fine and didn't show up.

When there are too many people and meet together, it is inevitable to talk and laugh, no matter what mood you are in, everyone does a good job of superficial skills.

But Hong Hui was a little annoyed, "These people are really supercilious. If it wasn't for the empress to look after them back then, some of them would have turned into a bunch of loess now, and now they've all gone to the next door. It's really ugly to look so impatient."

"If there is something ugly, it is to say hello to the mistress in the palace in advance. These people don't know how powerful Lao Ba and his wife are. If it is really Liang Concubine who is in charge of the house, Lao Ba and his wife will be able to extend their hands to the whole world. Coming from the harem, this person is different from the Crown Princess, the Crown Princess is really virtuous, but he is really tricky."

Speaking of this, Tian Mi suddenly thought of a way, "Our grandparents and grandchildren are no longer popular in the palace, so we need to avoid the limelight as soon as possible."

Hong Hui turned his head, doubts written all over his face.

"It's so cold, and it's almost Chinese New Year, and I'm the busiest when it's New Year's Eve. It's time for me to get sick, so take advantage of this time to hand over the trivial work to the neighbor next door. .”

"Your Majesty, why should you be submissive to her?" Hong Hui got angry, his whole face puffed up like a little bun.

Although he is not yet ten years old, he already has the impulsiveness and irritability of a young man, "Although the next door looks like she is about to soar into the sky, but her foundation is too weak, and she wants to be too far behind the empress, shoulder to shoulder with the empress She still needs to go back to the mountain to cultivate for a thousand years, so why should the empress give her face?"

"You do not understand."

Sure enough, Tian Mi fell ill the next day and started to have a fever, cough, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

In the morning, I reported the disease to Kangxi, and Tian Mi couldn't get up at noon. When Kangxi came over, the imperial doctor whispered back, "Your Majesty must lie down, and it will be even more uncomfortable if you can't get up while sitting."

"Quickly think of a way, you slaves are really useless. It's not like you don't know the condition of the imperial concubine for so many years. The prescription has been changed again and again, and the condition is getting worse. If the imperial concubine What's the matter..." Kangxi paused at this point, showing his fierce face, and the frightened imperial doctor knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Kangxi hurried to the dormitory and saw that Tian Mi was indeed having difficulty breathing, so he couldn't help stretching out his hand to hold Tian Mi, "Why are you so careless? You should take care of yourself when you know it's cold."

"Yesterday, ahem, the kitten I raised yesterday ran outside. I just opened the curtain and took a look outside. I didn't expect it to be like this after taking a breath of cold wind."

After finishing speaking, he took a quick breath.

"Let the old four's family enter the palace to serve you." Kangxi made a final decision, and Sifujin packed up his things and went to the palace to serve you. The imperial physician explained that this disease needs to be taken care of years ago, and the weather will be warmer in the next year It can be relieved.

In Kangxi's view, it was because of the cold that people heated the kang even more. A few more charcoal basins were placed in the room, and the windows were opened to allow some fresh air to come in. The waiters in the room did not wait a while Sweating profusely, Tian Mi felt better, but she still had difficulty breathing.

Si Fujin sat on the side with a bowl of medicine, "Madam, you have hurt your roots. No matter how many braziers you use, you still can't fool the weather outside. My daughter-in-law heard from our father that the south is still warm in winter. For example, in Guangdong and Guangxi, the clothes you wear in winter are very thin, or will you be sent there next year?"

"Let's talk about it later, I'm worried about the emperor and these children."

Tian Mi and Si Fujin were talking, when Concubine Tong lifted the curtain outside and came in.

"The members of the fourth family are here too? Elder sister, I came late and said that I wanted to come over in the morning. I didn't expect that the legs of the old thirteen were frozen. I stayed there for a while, and now I came over after I finished my work."

"It's freezing, why is it freezing?"

"Two legs were frozen. I don't think the one on the east side was too cold. When I went to see, some flesh on Shisan's two legs had been frozen to death. I sent him back yesterday, servants. Fire up the kang, the old thirteen lay on the kang and said that his legs were as cold as his heart, and at the beginning, the cold air ran into his bones... Oh, my heart hurts so much."

Concubine Tong was even more worried about the root cause of the disease in the old thirteen's two legs. The old seven was born with bad legs and feet. If the old thirteen freezes himself so that his legs are as short as the old seven's, what will happen in the future?

Thinking of this, Concubine Tong felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a few catties of Coptis chinensis, and she couldn't express the pain in her heart.

But at this time, she couldn't talk anymore, so she could only care about Tian Mi's condition.By the way, let me despise the villainous behavior of the good concubine next door who is now showing her success.

"You don't know how proud she is. There are a lot of people sitting in her yard, and so many people flatter her together. I don't know how happy she is now."

Tian Mi couldn't help frowning, "Don't gossip about other people's faults in small talk, let's not say a few words."

After Tian Mi finished speaking, she began to cough, and Si Fujin felt relieved, and when Tian Mi's cough passed, Si Fujin quickly suggested: "I think you are sick like this, and the things in the palace are just a matter of time." Never mind, it happens that my aunt is here, why don't I leave it to my aunt."

At this time, Concubine Tong especially wanted to find some good things in the medicine storehouse to heal Lao Shisan's legs, "I can't help with the rest, the hospital and the pharmacy..."

"Even if I'm sick, I can't hand over these two places. If you need something, just say, I'll get it for you, but your people must not go in. It's okay if something happens. Once something happens, you will be covered in mouths." I can't tell."

Tian Mi coughed a few more times, took a sip of water and suppressed her throat, "I see that you are not suitable to take care of everything in the palace. Even if Concubine Hui refuses at this moment, there are still three concubines in the palace. Why? You can’t even count on your head, so don’t think too much about it.”

Tong Pin sighed, "I see, you can rest well, I don't care about the affairs in the palace, if it's about our sisters, I will come forward."

Sifujin was still thinking what could happen to the two sisters?Sure enough, things came to the door the next day.

Tian Mi's mother-in-law is confused. She hasn't been in the palace on a daily basis for the past two or three years. It's just words.

The noble ladies of the Tong family who are entering the palace now are the sister-in-laws and sister-in-laws like Tian Mi.Tian Mi is so ill that she can't get up anymore, the Tong family members should come to visit her.

But from the outside, the mighty Tong family is actually not monolithic.The most acute contradictions are still between Fahai and Orondai.

In the early days, the brothers made separate bets. Elundai felt that the starling would become a great success in the future, but Fahai, the master of the starling, felt that the starling would not be able to achieve great things.

So when Orondai worked for Lao Ba, he did his best.Fahai wants to establish a better relationship with the fourth child both openly and secretly.

The two brothers have been fighting in private for so many years, and now the answer is about to be revealed, Erlun Dai jumped out impatiently, and satirized Fa Hai, "How can a slave raised by a slave have the vision to tell who is the real dragon emperor. "

These words really angered Fa Hai, and a new round of quarrel broke out between the two in front of Tong Guowei.But the Tong family is standing at a crossroads at this time, who are they supporting?

The answer is obvious, Tong Guowei supports Lao Ba.Fa Hai and Kua Dai supported the fourth child.

Fahai supports the fourth child, he thinks that the fourth child will definitely be a wise monarch in the future, and Kua Dai supports the fourth child, because he thinks that this man was raised by his mother and is of one mind with his family.

On the contrary, Elundai really wanted to get his brother's help, so he came to persuade Kuadai himself, "Isn't the eighth master not one with us? You know the eighth master, and he has a very good reputation. Even those small officials in the capital I have also received favors from him. For example, I gave them umbrellas when it rained, and charcoal when it was cold..."

Compared with this master, the fourth elder brother seemed too unreasonable.Sometimes someone wants to curry favor with him and rushes to him to say hello, but the fourth elder brother just pretends he didn't hear him.

Therefore, compared with the fourth prince and the eighth prince, the eighth prince is too in line with the image of a wise gentleman in everyone's mind, and the eighth prince has money in his hand, and everyone has benefited from spreading money all over the sky. Once you start talking about him Well said, that was really heartfelt.

No matter how extravagant his elder brother's words, Kuadai himself is a bastard who is so determined that he doesn't want to follow elder brother Ba.

"Let me tell you, sometimes when you get along with a certain person, no matter how you try to think, it is impossible to be considerate. Take me and the eighth elder brother, they are also very concerned about me. For example, when I am sick, they first The medicine was delivered in a short time, and my daughter-in-law went to burn incense and worship Buddha, and they immediately sent a golden Buddha... But I just can't be moved, I don't know how you are moved."

Erlundai felt that his brother was a fool, "Brother, people's hearts are full of flesh, isn't Eighth Brother treating you badly?"

"The human heart is fleshy, and the human heart is still blood-red, but I don't think he treats me well."

"This man is too stubborn."

"You guys are so easy to deceive."

The two brothers talked more and more, and finally the two older brothers had a fight, and Tong Guogang's three sons have since parted ways.

After they parted ways, the wives of the three families entered the palace. Apart from passing on the message to the empress, they also shouldered the important task of persuading the empress to support the eighth elder brother.

These three are sister-in-laws, and there is a row of younger siblings sitting behind them.Tian Mi coughed a few times, and was supported by Pin Tong to sit up, while Si Fujin took the opportunity to stuff some pillows behind her.

After Tian Mi finished coughing, she asked them, "Is everything okay at home?"

"If you go back to your mother, everything is fine, and the two old ladies in the house are also fine. When you came today, the two old ladies ate a lot of food, and asked the servants to bring you some good things into the palace. You said they eat and drink well at home, so don't worry about it."

After finishing speaking, a maid from Tong's family handed over the bundle, which contained several high-quality ginseng.

Tian Mi nodded, "It doesn't matter if the family is fine, you've seen me like this, and every word you say is suffering, I won't let you talk anymore, let you come into the palace after I recover from illness. "

This means that tea is about to be sent off to the guests. These ladies looked at each other a few times, how could they leave at this time?I haven't said a word about the eighth elder brother.

"Your Majesty, I have an important matter when I enter the palace today, and I want to discuss it with my Majesty." Orondai's daughter-in-law was the first to speak, "Now Ba Ye..."

Concubine Tong couldn't help snorting, "What's wrong with the eighth brother? Speaking of which, the empress has been lying down for several days now, and even if the little brothers in the palace can't come, they will send slaves to greet them. Why? I haven't seen the shadow of Eighth Brother for several days."

These women have already heard Tong Bin's meaning, Tong Bin's tone is not good, Erlundai's wife doesn't know how to explain the matter satisfactorily for the eighth elder brother at the moment, she just opened her mouth and said "My Lady" in time .

Concubine Tong was so arrogant and unreasonable that they were invited out.After these people left, Tong Pin supported Tian Mi to lie down, "My sister is so easy to talk, this group of people..."

Everyone knows their virtues, to be precise, everyone knows the virtues of the man behind them.At this time, Tong Pin suddenly sighed, "Sister, our life is both lucky and unlucky."

What Tong Bin meant was that the two sisters failed to give birth to a prince, which was a great misfortune and a great fortune.

Tian Mi's cough intensified again. After coughing for a long time, her face turned red from coughing, and she finally recovered her breath and lay down to recharge her batteries.

I don't know if someone said something to Eighth Brother, but in the early morning of the next day, Eighth Brother and his wife came to meet Tian Mi in person.

Before they came, Tian Mi called the four concubines to her.

"You have also seen that I am so ill now that I can no longer control the affairs of the palace. It is almost the Chinese New Year now. This is a major event and cannot be delayed. I will share with you all the matters at hand. Concubine Liang It's the first time I'm in charge, if you don't understand anything, just ask the three of them."

Concubine Hui didn't dare to stand out at this time, "Your Majesty, my concubine has been suffering from a headache recently, and I can't contribute to the affairs of the palace. , she is young, this is the time when she should take on more responsibilities."

Concubine Liang didn't take care of these things in the palace, and was very surprised after hearing this.Turning to look at Concubine Hui quickly, Concubine Hui smiled at her.

No matter if it was Concubine Yi or Concubine Rong, at this moment, she couldn't help but snorted coldly in her heart, Concubine Hui was lucky to be the oldest and most qualified concubine, and now she was courting a good concubine from Xin Zheku.

But now everyone is very smart, and there are some things that cannot be said on these occasions.Tian Mi didn't object after hearing this, she nodded and asked the maid to bring over a tray with four ledgers on it.

"Take one, you can do whatever you want with the ledger."

Concubine Yi unceremoniously reached out and took a book, "The concubine will take care of my mother's worries first. After this winter, the weather will be warmer when spring begins, and my mother will be better. At that time, my concubine will come to do business again."

Tian Mi nodded, and Concubine Rong also reached out to take a copy, "The concubine is stupid and doesn't know what to say. When the time comes, the empress will be safe, and the concubine will come to work again."

Tian Mi also nodded, and said to Concubine Liang: "Since Concubine Hui has been in poor health for a while, the rest is yours, Concubine Liang, there are many things going on in the palace, if you have any If you don’t understand, go back and ask the two of them.”

At this time, a court lady came to report to Tian Mi, saying that the eighth elder brother and his wife were waiting outside to say hello.

Tian Mi waved her hands to these four, "Okay, there are too many things going on in the palace, you guys go back first."

The four empresses all stood up, Concubine Yi had been trying to be strong all her life, she wanted to be the first in everything, so she was the first one to turn around and go out.

After she went out, the other three followed her out.At this time, the eighth elder brother and his wife were sitting outside waiting, watching the group of ladies come out, the couple stood up, and saw Concubine Yi taking the lead, and Concubine Liang behind her.

Brother Ba was uncomfortable, but he was very scheming, so he hurriedly greeted these empresses, talked to Concubine Liang affectionately, and finally showed special concern to Concubine Hui, and said that he would greet Concubine Hui later.

Concubine Hui smiled happily, she didn't look like someone who often suffers from headaches.

Concubine Rong wanted to stay and have a relationship with the eighth elder brother and his wife, but the eighth elder brother kept talking to his two sisters with one mouth.

Eighth Brother and his family's Fujin didn't even look at Concubine Rong. Concubine Rong has been a concubine for so many years. Seeing the appearance of his husband and wife, she couldn't help but snorted coldly in her heart, and led the maids After leaving, Yifei left earlier than them, and she didn't even think about staying and talking together.

After the eighth elder brother greeted them, he was still thinking in his heart, as expected, it is still a low status for Er Niang to be a concubine, and some people still don't take her seriously.

If you don't take Erniang seriously, you don't take yourself seriously. It seems that the noble concubine, even the imperial concubine or even the queen is the final destination of Erniang.

Thinking of this, he turned around and followed the maid to meet Tian Mi.

Even though Tian Mi was ill, her aura remained undiminished, and she gave a faint cry to the couple.

"It's hard for you to remember to come and see me. My body is like this. I get sick easily in winter."

"You are the son's mother, I should have come to see you earlier, but because my mother had a good business two days ago, I had to run around and neglect you."

Tian Mi waved her hand, "I can't blame you, you should come forward to handle this matter. Although the old fourteen has grown up now, he hasn't married yet, and he can't do things well..." Tian Mi said Honey coughed again, this time the cough was particularly severe, her back was tense, and the coughing sound became louder each time.And it seems that he is out of breath, which makes people worry that this person will die in the next second?

After Tian Mi relieved the cough, she took a sip of water to suppress the itchiness in her throat, "You two are laughing, this is what happens when you get old, and now you have tuberculosis."

The couple flattered Tian Mi that she was still young, not to mention old. Tian Mi smiled and waved her hands, "I wanted to keep the two of you here to talk for a while, but I can't do it anymore. If you want to go back and crooked, you can just kneel down."

The husband and wife left gifts and left Chengqian Palace respectfully.

When Bafujin was on the way, he was still saying: "I didn't expect the imperial concubine to be like this now. I remember that she was also a powerful person back then. I didn't expect it."

The eighth elder brother didn't listen to what she said to her at all, and he was thinking about how to make Er Niang take the position.

And Concubine Yi returned to her own palace, sat down and drank a cup of tea, then put the ledger back on the kang table in front of her.

The surrounding maids and eunuchs all retreated, Yifei and sisters sat cross-legged on the kang table across the kang table.

"I don't know what kind of account book my sister brought back?" Guo Guiren reached out and took the account book, flipped through a few pages, "It turns out that it is in charge of fabrics and wood... There is not much oil and water in it."

"Is there still money? I wish there was no more money. Just now I didn't check for a while and walked fast. I walked in front of Concubine Liang, and his son was staring at me."

Guo Guiren put the account book aside, "Sister, what do you say? The eighth elder brother and our ninth elder brother have a good relationship? How dare you stare at you?"

"It's hard to paint a tiger's skin. It's hard to paint the bones. You know the face but don't know the heart. Alas, Lao Jiu has been trapped in it all his life. The eighth brother really makes me feel frightened."

"Then what shall we do?"

"What else can I do? Even if he becomes the emperor, he doesn't dare to do anything to me. The eighth elder brother is different from us. He wants face, but we don't."

"what are you talking about."

"Am I wrong? He used to be such a shameless person..."

At this time, Eleven outside asked the maid guarding the door, "Are Erniang and Auntie here?"

Concubine Yi hurriedly shouted to the outside, "Come in quickly on Eleventh, it's cold outside, don't freeze you."

Eleven came in wearing a fur cloak. Behind him, the maid helped him take off the cloak and hung it on a shelf beside him. Eleven hurried to the brazier to warm his hands.

"Er Niang..." Eleven looked up at Concubine Yi, "Are you angry today? Why do you look sour?"

Concubine Yi turned to look at Guo Guiren, "Is my face not good?"

Guo Guiren shook his head, "I feel the same as usual."

Eleven sat next to Concubine Yi, took out a small hammer from the small basket on the kang table, and slowly smashed the walnuts. "My son has been with Emiang for so long, are you happy? My son can feel that you are unhappy today?"

Concubine Yi was quite relieved when she heard this, and said to her sister with a smile: "The two in front are raised for nothing, but this kid knows that he loves me."

After speaking, he reached out and touched his son's ears, and found that his ears were a little cold, so he put a cup of hot tea in front of his son, "Hurry up and drink it, it's hot to drive away the cold. Are you angry? Empress, your mother accidentally walked in front of the concubine Liang, and the eighth elder brother stared at your mother several times."

"Is it possible that my Erniang will be measured with a ruler even if she walks in front of anyone? Although Liangfei is also a concubine, she has only been a concubine for a few days. Erniang was a concubine when she entered the palace. If you talk about entering the palace At that time, at present, only you and the imperial concubine can be regarded as honorable, and the others are all crooked, and they only dared to do this after a few days of complacency."

Guo Guiren quickly patted Eleven's arm, "Keep your voice down, don't you know that walls have ears? I guess they are in the limelight at this time, and we can't go head-to-head with them."

Brother Eleven was panicked, and after hearing what his aunt said, he drank the hot water in the cup in one gulp, "I see, Auntie, don't take this to heart, I'm not the kid who caused trouble. Is it a grievance? My mother-in-law."

Concubine Yi shook her head, "People have to bow their heads under the eaves, and people say that the prince is so... but when the prince is here, I am still the honorable concubine Yi, and when the prince is deposed, I have become a servant .”

Guo Guiren was worried about the mother and son, "Sister, why did you make such a mistake after talking about the child just now? Walls have ears!"

Concubine Yi lowered her voice: "Can't you see it now? The imperial concubine is going to make a move."

Guo Guiren was very curious, "Isn't she sick recently?"

"It's true that she's sick," said one, shaking the ledger in her hand twice, "Did you see it? This is the stepping stone. I was unlucky, and I caught a book of fabric and wood, which is big for the Chinese New Year. How many pieces of wood can be used? Cloth will be useful, but they are all decorative and used in corners.

Concubine Hui had to deduct some gold and silver when she handled it back then. Concubine Liang was used to being poor. If she saw gold and silver, wouldn't she hold out her hand?Maybe there will be more greed. Sometimes the imperial concubine comes forward to fix her, and the face that the mother and son have accumulated over the years will be stripped clean. "

Guo Guiren shook his head, "Not necessarily, Concubine Liang is not the kind of person my sister thinks. If you say that she can't handle palace affairs, I still believe it. If you say that she embezzles gold and silver, I don't believe it. , and her two sons are different."

"Of course she can't reach out, but if her son needs it, it's one thing for a mother not to reach out, but another thing for her son's urgent need."

If the eighth brother wants to go further, he needs more gold and silver. This is the time to throw silver in it to make people say good things, let alone be soft.

But no amount of gold and silver can hold up such a flower.There are always times when he can't get enough money, but the treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is piled up with gold and silver like a mountain.Isn't the eighth brother not tempted?

I think that the abolished prince was tempted by the tax bank in the south because he had no money. What they needed was a large sum of money, not the small money of 300 taels or 3000 taels.

As long as the mother and son dare to stretch out their hands, the imperial concubine can chop off the paws of the mother and son, and at the same time tear the old eighth from the crown prince.

Guo Guiren nodded, "So that's the case."

"Wealth touches people's hearts. Lao Ba must not know how much money is in the House of Internal Affairs. Let him know. It's very difficult to hold back." Yi Fei couldn't help reaching out to touch her son's braid, "Remember, If you can't make a move next time, just wait a little longer, a bitch is a bitch, even the sky can't see it, and God can take action to clean them up."

Nodding at eleven o'clock, "I didn't expect the usually amiable imperial concubine to have such a strategy?"

The expressions of Yifei and Guo Guiren suddenly became indescribable, Yifei sighed, "Do you know that Guo Luoluo's tea was in the hands of the House of Internal Affairs before? Opportunity to intervene in the tea business.

Not only your grandparent's family, but also other families. Everyone waited for the opportunity for more than ten years, and finally gave up on this matter when they realized that there was no chance.When she was young, her teeth were sharp and her mouth was sharp. Only Concubine De dared to pierce wings with her in the palace. Concubine De's bones are now turned into ashes. Only in these years has she gained a little bit of Buddha's appearance, showing kindness and kindness. . "

Guo Guiren also whispered: "It is not easy to survive in the palace these years, so you dare not underestimate anyone."

Eleven nodded quickly.

They talked for half an afternoon with them again, the three of them talked happily, but Eleven took the matter of Concubine Yi being stared at by the eighth elder brother to heart.

It was very cold and it was getting dark early. As soon as it was dark, he left the palace trembling in the carriage with the stove in his arms.

The destination this time is Lao Jiu's house. Eleven wants to come out and persuade Lao Jiu not to go on with the eighth elder brother. Wealth is important, but people have already contemptuous of their own mother. In his heart, he must regard his brothers as a dog.

Such a person is not worth giving his life to.

After arriving, the housekeeper of Lao Jiu and his family hurried over to help Eleven out of the car, "Master Eleven, why didn't you tell me in advance? If you said in advance, the servants would have brought our master back early. He is now If you are not at the mansion, the servant has packed a warm room for you, you go and rest first, if our master comes back late today, you can stay here first, and the servant will send you into the palace tomorrow."

This kind of arrangement is very appropriate, and he nodded at eleven o'clock, "It's too cold, I dare not stretch out my hand, go to the backyard and tell my sister-in-law, just say that the master sneaked back to Lazy this time, and if you don't want to show my sister-in-law, please Ann to watch the baby." My nephew is gone, I will make amends when the weather warms up."

"Our Fujin also said: It's all a family that doesn't pay attention to this. I also asked the maid to send a light incense from the backyard for you to use. Don't worry, Fujin doesn't pay attention to etiquette."

After a while, Lao Jiu came back, and asked as soon as he entered the yard: "The little bastard ran out of the palace? Why did he run out in a good way? On the way, he froze him so badly that my mother would scold him again."

Cursing and swearing, he went to the courtyard of Shunli Eleven.

Eleven was eating the pot at this time, and one person poured the meat slices into it, stirred it a few times with chopsticks, and then scooped it up.Seeing Lao Jiu coming, he pointed to the seat in front, "Come, come, let's go together."

"Together with your size, does my mother know about the fact that you ran out? It's not that my brother won't let you come. It's so cold, so what if you freeze out anyway? Don't say it doesn't matter, the imperial concubine in the palace is so cold. I can’t get up”, and then lowered my voice, “It’s not that my mouth smells bad. Too hot and too cold is not good for those who are in poor health. Heat can kill people, and cold can freeze people to death. Take care of yourself a little?"

"If it wasn't for something important, I wouldn't come here. I wanted to go to Er Niang's place for a meal today, but Er Niang went to Chengqian Palace."

Lao Jiu had already sat down at this time, and scooped up a few slices of meat with chopsticks, "I heard that the imperial concubine couldn't get up, so she divided the affairs of the palace among the three empresses. It's not like this kind of thing happened before. , Her body is really not good, she is more of a drug basket than a medicine basket, the face of the fourth child is not good in the past few days, Huang Ama is also irritable, I can see that the two of them know that the imperial concubine is not good."

"That's not what I'm here to tell you today. What I'm talking about is that when Er Niang came out from the imperial concubine, she bumped into Lao Ba head-on."

"What's the matter? The starling and the eighth sister-in-law went to pay their respects to the imperial concubine, how normal it was to meet them."

Eleven raised his head, and stared at Brother Jiu who was opposite him, "Emiang walked in front of Concubine Liang today, and was stared at by Brother Eight several times."

In fact, whoever walks ahead proves that whoever has a higher status, but then again, Concubine Yi, regardless of her natal family or her own qualifications, has a higher status than other people.It is understandable for her to walk in front of the third concubine.

Brother Nine didn't believe it, "Where did you get the news, Mynah is definitely not such a person."

"What if this is what Er Niang said? Are you trying to say that Er Niang doesn't like him? It's true that Er Niang doesn't like him, but has Er Niang made up his lies? He's going to go one step further soon, Er Is it necessary for mother to make up his nonsense? There is only one reason why my younger brother came here, Brother Nine, retreat bravely."

"This..." Brother Nine still didn't believe it.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, he is not such a person, Er Niang must have misread it."

"Are you mistaken? Go back and ask Er Niang, Brother Nine, let me tell you, who is the person closest to you these days? Of course it is Er Niang? Anyone in this world can harm you, even me." Only Er Niang will not harm you if you betray you. Can you tell me which one is more important between your starling and Er Niang?"

After finishing speaking, he stood up, "Think about it carefully, I'll go to Fifth Brother's place."
