Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

To stay with guests on a snowy night, the emperor naturally stayed.

It is the fourth elder brother who is going to brave the heavy snow to go back to the elder brother's place. It is worrying to think about braving the wind and snow in this kind of weather.She couldn't help begging Kangxi, "The wind and snow on the road are too heavy, or let him stay in Chengqian Palace today. There are many rooms in the back, and his previous room is still reserved, so as to save him from running around and getting sick again." gone."

"A loving mother is a loser, don't think about it. If you live here, when will he get up and go to study in the study room tomorrow? The door of the inner palace is still closed when the Shang study room is giving lectures. Do you want your son to wait until the opening of the palace?" Do you want to go after the door?"

Tian Mi quickly shook her head, "Isn't it because it's snowing?"

"Won't it snow tomorrow? Is it because it's cold and you won't go to school? Other elder brothers can go back in the snow, but Yinzhen can't?"

The fourth elder brother has already put on the big woolen clothes, wrapped round and fluffy, "Er Niang, my son can just walk back, it's not cold when it snows, and it's warm if you walk more. You and Huang Ama should rest early."

Tian Mi stretched her neck and stared at the group of people leaving the palace gate, and couldn't help sighing.

Kangxi was holding a cup of tea, seeing that she was about to stretch his neck to look around again, he waved his hands to ask for the curtain to be lowered, and couldn't help saying, "Okay, don't look, she has already left."

"What if he slips and falls on the road?"

"He is already a young man, and in two or three years you will be picking a daughter-in-law." He put down his glass and stood up, sat next to Tian Mi and put his arms around her shoulders, "Your son is not young, There are many young concubines in the palace, please don't keep him so late, let alone spend the night in the inner palace, remember?"

What is he thinking! He is still a little bean, what can he do in the dark palace?Tian Mi was very angry. Looking up at him, she felt that her teeth were hurting, and she really wanted to bite him, "My son is a noble character, what do you think, is there anyone who can be an Ama like this?"

"Child avoids mother, this is an old saying. We have nothing to argue about this, you can't make trouble, it's getting late, let's rest earlier."

"If you want to rest, go and rest by yourself, I will wait for the eunuch to write back to me saying that Yinzhen has arrived at elder brother's place."

Kangxi bent down and hugged her, "Okay, he is not a princess, you are too spoiled."

Since ancient times, Kangxi was very satisfied with his cousin's upbringing of his children. After all, the sons are too good, which is also a kind of pressure for the prince. He feels sorry for his ancestors for raising waste snacks.It is good to be strict in normal times and relaxed in special occasions.

Because Shengjia is here, the lights of Chengqian Palace will not go out all night, and a row of red palace lanterns hang high, which is particularly conspicuous at night.

In the Yonghe Palace next door, it is inevitable that someone will have a few words about the emperor's stay.

Snowflakes were falling, Concubine De was sitting at the window of the bedroom, her eldest maid Yugua had made the bed, urging her to go to bed early.

The place where she sat was by the window, and the cold wind came in through the gap, and her shoulders were cold after sitting for a long time.Someone in the courtyard of Yonghe Palace complained, "Go back, the emperor won't come today."

Then there was a sigh, and soon a voice said: "I don't want to live in Yonghe Palace anymore, this has become a cold palace, after such a long time, the emperor has never been here."

"There is a mourner here, of course the emperor won't come."

Then there were a few bah bah sounds.Can imagine how those little sluts outside arranged themselves, Concubine De was so angry that a mouthful of blood poured into her throat, and she swallowed it alive.

Her confidantes were all cleaned up before returning to the palace, no matter if they were eunuchs or palace maids, they did not know where they were put together, and it was not easy to use.They didn't care too much, if Jinxiu was still alive, no one would dare to humiliate him like this.Don't care how down and out I am, I am a concubine, even if the grand palace maid goes out and scolds them, they dare not speak back.But Jinxiu is gone. Although the Yugua who came here is respectful, he never does such things.

"Your Majesty, it's getting dark, go to bed early."

Concubine De stretched out her hand, Yugua helped her get off the kang and moved to the bed.

"Yugua, go get some hot water, I'm going to take a bath."

"Mother, the weather is too cold, don't take a bath, don't freeze anymore. It will be a long time to find the imperial doctor, and your money is almost running out. Those grandchildren don't need money to control them, so take care of yourself " Yugua said nicely, but she didn't move, she asked a second-class court lady, Yuhuan, to take off her shoes and outer clothes, and the two of them pressed her to lie down, without removing the jewelry from her hair, and covered her with a quilt. Withdrew.

When they left, they casually threw a few pieces of charcoal into the brazier, ignored the lights and candles, and went out of the bedroom to rest.

There wasn't even a night watchman in the room, Concubine De stared at their backs fiercely, "Bitch, wait for this palace to recover before I clean you up."

She didn't move, and fell asleep on the bed enduring a migraine.

Then she had a beautiful dream, the emperor appeared in her dream, she saw the emperor in front of her, heard his hearty smile, and thought his voice was thick and pleasant.She subconsciously followed, shouting: "The emperor waits for my concubine, waits for my concubine."

The mood is as bright as the sunshine in spring, and as happy as returning to the time when I was 15 years old. At that time, I didn't think about anything, just staring at the emperor obsessively was enough.

The emperor kept walking forward, the corridor here seemed to be endless, with twists and turns, but the emperor's back was always in front of him.

Below the winding corridor was water, and she saw a woman leaning on the railing, holding a plate in her hand, occasionally grabbing some fish food and throwing it down.The emperor, who kept walking forward and couldn't call him back no matter what, walked over, grabbed a handful of fish food from her plate and threw it into the water, then sat on the railing and rubbed her ears.

Concubine De went crazy with jealousy, she ran over to see who this bitch was?Then I heard the emperor say: "I miss you in my heart, isn't everything I do for you? Is there anything unhappy in your heart?"

Concubine De had already run over, she saw the woman cuddling with the emperor, and that woman was herself.

She is still young, and the emperor is also young, and he loves to smile with his brows and eyes smiling.

Concubine De wished she could speak instead of her young self, and sue all the sluts in the harem.

But the young self lowered her head shyly, "How can you be unhappy, my son is gone, why don't you let me come here to relax?"

"I know you're unhappy, so I'm here to tell you one thing, I'll pass the throne to your son, don't worry."

"There is a prince, even if there is no prince, there are others."

"My country, I will give it to whoever I say."

"But I don't have a son."

"One more."

With a crackle, Concubine De woke up with a start, and everyone said that the good dreams don't last long, and it was true.

She felt lost, the emperor's voice and smile was still in front of her eyes, but she was already far away from him, so far away that he didn't want to look back at her.

The candle exploded several candles in a row, it wiped away its tears, recalling the dream just now, Concubine De thought it was a sign of happy event.

She lifted the quilt without wearing shoes, and hurried to another room, where the Bodhisattva is enshrined.

The servants here don't care about their masters, but they are very careful in cleaning up the Buddhist altars. The incense candles and fruits offered are the best.Her hands and feet were trembling with excitement, she took three sticks of incense, half of her face was covered by shadows, the other half was twisted under the lamp, the corners of her mouth kept chanting "Jiangshan, Your Majesty, Jiangshan, Your Majesty... .”

Under the illumination of the light, the muscles of the face twisted and changed constantly. They were happy for a while, angry for a while, and then sad and quickly became innocent, but a pair of eyes were fixed on the Buddha statue.

Trembling, she lit the three incense sticks on the candle, the flames at the tips of the incense sticks were slowly extinguished, and green smoke came out from the three fire points.

Holding up the three incense sticks, she tried her best to endure the madness, and with a little expectation, she asked in a very soft voice: "Bodhisattva, in the dead of night, the believer has something to ask you, will the emperor pass the country to the believer's son?" .If yes, please burn only two of these three incense sticks, and keep one as a proof."

She put the incense into the incense burner and stared at the three incense sticks. All the incense in the palace are good things for the Buddha. Logically speaking, there will be no incense candles that cannot be burned.But after a while, one incense stick suddenly went out, and the remaining two kept burning.

Concubine De's breathing became rapid, she sucked in big mouthfuls of air, the cold air traveled through her lungs to her limbs and veins.She wanted to jump up in ecstasy, but she calmed down quickly.Respectfully kowtow to the incense table and altar, "Bodhisattva, believer girl, ask again, is it true that the emperor passed on the country to the believer girl's son... No, believer girl asked, the current prince can't be the emperor, right? If so, please...please let the offerings fall off the table."

She kowtowed down, and when she raised her head again, she heard a click, the disk containing the melons and fruits shattered, and the apples on top rolled down and fell in front of Concubine De.

Concubine De was ecstatic, she felt trembling all over, wishing she could run outside and yell to express her joy, my son will be the emperor, the emperor has me in his heart, so my son will be the master of the Forbidden City from now on! ! ...

Can't, can't be called...the queen can't be so disrespectful.

My son can sit in the country, the prince is deposed, and the next prince must be the son, and if my son is the son, he is the queen.The bitch next door named Tong can't wait for the empress, hahahahaha...

I can be a queen myself.

You must not do anything that leaves people talking, yelling is not suitable for the mother of a country.From now on, you must be dignified and virtuous.

She stood up, with a self-righteous smile on her face, stretched out a hand, as if being supported, and walked towards the bed with her head held high.

I imagined that I would be the mother of the world in the future, walking amidst the sound of bells, surrounded by servants who called themselves thousands of years kneeling in a row, this feeling is really wonderful.A smile appeared on her face, and she walked out of the room dedicated to the Bodhisattva with her eyes closed. In the silent night, she walked in her own bedroom like a ghost.

Just as she was walking halfway, a voice suddenly said in her mind: "You are talking nonsense, you don't have a son now, you are just thinking wildly."

She opened her eyes, rushed to the front of the incense table frantically, and lay down on the futon, "Bodhisattva, will the believer have a son in the future? Will there be any? If so, let all the candles in this bedroom explode together."

She raised her head, and in the night that was so quiet that she could hear the falling snow, the sound of "cracking" could be heard incessantly, the lights exploded and exploded again, the flames danced in her eyes, and the lights jumped every time they exploded.

Concubine De really couldn't bear it anymore, she suddenly burst out laughing, the sound came out of the bedroom, and the elation and pride spread throughout the vestibule of Yonghe Palace.

Everyone who heard it at night turned over, and a few young promises and Chang Zai couldn't help but look up and listened under the covers, "Concubine De, don't be crazy."

Then I thought about it, it's a good thing to be crazy, "Move out if you're crazy, and this place won't be a cold palace."

In the Chengqian Palace next door, Tian Mi seemed to have heard the laughter too, and listened carefully. For a moment, she couldn't figure out whether it was Ye Xiao who was screaming or someone screaming.

Can't help raising his head to hear it more clearly, Kangxi was awakened by her movement, and stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, "Don't move, you still feel uncomfortable when you enter the cool wind."

"Cousin, did you hear something?"

"I heard, there was a fairy laughing loudly at me in the dream."

Tian Mi couldn't help stretching out her hand to pinch him, Kangxi pinned her head to her neck, "Go to sleep, I just dreamed of you, and I was riding a horse outside the Great Wall hand in hand with you."

After hearing this, Tian Mi arched into his arms, "Pull up the quilt behind me, there is a cool breeze blowing on my vest, it's chilly."

Kangxi pulled the quilt indiscriminately, and stretched out his hand to cover Tian Mi's back, "Don't worry about it, you have to get up early tomorrow."

Kangxi quickly fell asleep, Tian Mi pressed her face against his chest, listening to his heartbeat, just about to close her eyes, then a sound like laughter or scream came again.

Tian Mi's head popped out of the quilt again, do you want to take a look?
