Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

Early the next morning, no matter whether it was an old man or a young man, they all rushed out on horseback screaming.

Tian Mi's work is not over yet. Although it has become a little easier these days, she still has to meet different people every day.The purpose of the people who come here is different, some are complaining, some want to recommend their own daughters to enter the palace.

Tian Mi gradually became impatient.

Seeing Tian Mi persisted for so many days, Qing Yu couldn't help but give her some advice, "It's cold outside now, you might as well get sick. It's better to let the emperor know that you are not made of iron, and you can still be lazy. Give her a chance even if she has that pink eye."

Tian Mi thinks that this is the truth. Concubine Hui is crazy now that she wants to contact those Mongolian noble ladies. What kind of chance meeting sooner or later, why should I give rewards to the parents of those boys who have wrestled with the elder brother... Her flower work is one after another.

Sure enough, Tian Mi summoned the imperial physician at noon, saying that she had chest tightness and suddenly couldn't breathe.The imperial physician diagnosed for a while, but Tian Mi kept insisting that she was out of breath.Several people could only bow their heads and sum up, declaring to the outside world that the imperial concubine had suffered from an old problem, and the cold air she encountered caused her lung disease.

So the previous prescription was picked up from the corner by blowing the dust again. After grabbing the medicine, Tian Mi was stuffy with a bowl of thick black medicine.

When Kangxi came back in the evening and heard that Tian Mi started taking medicine again, he couldn't help but come over to have a look. Tian Mi lay on the couch and said weakly, "Maybe it's because I saw a cool breeze yesterday, and today I'm not comfortable."

Kangxi thought to himself, could this be tuberculosis?My cousin is in her prime of life, if she really got tuberculosis, wouldn't she be accompanied by decoction every day for the next few decades, even though the palace can afford the medicine and there are good imperial doctors, it will be a pain in the end.

"People say that winter diseases are cured in summer, so next summer, if you treat them properly, we will eradicate the disease."After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and felt that there would be nothing serious in the future, and the female family members in Mongolia didn't need their cousins ​​to greet them anymore, and the eunuchs took care of all the trivial matters in the palace.At that time, let the cousin take over the overall situation, as long as there is no problem with the general direction, it will be enough.

"Have a good rest, I'll come back to see you tomorrow night. You don't have to worry about the paddock, other things will be taken over by someone else."

Tian Mi nodded, thinking in her heart that it was probably Concubine Hui who was going to take over her errand, she yawned, mumbled a few words in her mouth, and then closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Kangxi watched her fall asleep and then tucked her in the quilt before leaving the tent. Then he called Tian Mi and the eunuchs and maids who were in charge over and beat them repeatedly, telling them to serve them carefully. There was a change and asked them to report the letter as soon as possible, and took the people away after beating.

Concubine Hui waited left and right, waited for half a day and then waited all night, the news came from outside that the emperor had fallen asleep with a little nobleman, and there was no intention to wait for her to assist the imperial concubine.

She repeatedly confirmed with her eldest maid, "Is the imperial concubine sick?"

"He must be sick. We will visit him in the afternoon."

Concubine Hui waited anxiously, and couldn't help cursing: "It's really shameless, you are so sick that you still don't want to let go of power, so go on as an errand, there will always be times when you will be killed."

Then he sighed, asked someone to bring in water, and fell asleep after washing himself.

After one night, before dawn on the new day, the elder brother came to say hello, the mother and son had just said a few warm words, the elder brother opened his mouth to beg for money. "Er Niang, how much silver do you have left?"

"When I came here, I didn't bring much, only a few hundred taels. What do you want money for?"

"My son wants to drink and gamble with them. If he loses and refuses to admit it, they will laugh at him for not being a man."

Concubine Hui's heart became even more anxious, and she asked the maid to take out her silver, thinking in her heart that she should go to the imperial concubine for a while?You can't ask for all the errands, at least one kind of errands, as long as you manage the affairs yourself, and the money is passed through your own hands, it is guaranteed to wipe off a layer of oil and water.

For the elder brother, although these several hundred taels of silver are enough for a day or two, what should we do in the future?He frowned and thought about it.I have no money here, but my brother has it.

Leaving aside the third elder brother, the younger fourth elder brother and fifth elder brother have money in their hands.I don't believe that Imperial Concubine and Concubine Yi don't put some scattered money around them for their daily expenses.

He ran over to find his two younger brothers before the team moved.The fourth elder brother heard the news that the imperial concubine was ill, so he ran over to pay his respects early in the morning.The fifth elder brother couldn't get out of bed anyway, he was finally able to sleep late outside the Great Wall, and it was still a bit cold outside, he was curled up and down under the warm quilt, and was just coaxed by the eunuch to get up.

As soon as the maid put a hot handkerchief on his face and wiped his face twice, the elder brother rushed in directly.

He smiled and hugged the fifth elder brother in his arms, "Old fifth, how does elder brother usually treat you?"

The fifth elder brother pouted in his heart, thinking what can you do to me?The children in the palace are all human beings, and they don't know much about big strategies, but they are already proficient in human relationships.

"Brother, just give orders, and if something happens, the younger brother will definitely help."

"That's what you said. Do you have any money? Lend me some money."

"Brother thought it was a big deal, something like this... No, no money."

Eldest brother didn't believe it, "When you went out, didn't your mother-in-law give you some money?"

The fifth elder brother shook his head, "When I went out, my mother said: Follow your fourth brother closely, eat what he eats, wear what he wears, and use what he uses. You are all princes. Why is the imperial concubine eccentric? So you can't be thin-skinned, go to the imperial concubine openly, just say what you want, if you say something wrong and offend someone, come back and explain to Er Niang, and Er Niang will explain it to you. This It was my mother-in-law who said it, so I don’t have a tael of silver on my brother’s side.”

It is really possible that Yifei said the hob meat-like words, the elder brother was unlucky, so he could only wait for the fourth elder brother, "Where did your fourth brother go?"

"The imperial concubine is sick, and my fourth brother has gone to serve the decoction."

"When will you be back?"

"I don't know, maybe I will come back later, or maybe I won't come back all day today, it depends on the condition of the imperial concubine."

The eldest brother turned his head and thought that he was really seriously ill, and the fourth elder brother, as a son, couldn't go hunting outside for fun.After a few perfunctory words with fifth elder brother, he was going to find fourth elder brother.

Just when he excitedly went outside Tian Mi's tent to look for the fourth elder brother, he saw his concubine Hui Hui leading the maids to visit the imperial concubine.

Concubine Hui waited outside the tent for a while before she could enter, which made the eldest brother who was staring at him very angry, feeling that Concubine Hui had been neglected.I couldn't help complaining to Tian Mi in my heart, "I'm not the queen, what kind of score is it?"

After Concubine Hui went in, he asked the little eunuch beside him to call the maid next to Concubine Hui, and asked coldly, "What is my mother-in-law doing here?"

The court lady also knew a little bit of the inside story, "Your Majesty came here to ask if she could take over some errands... This is all for the sake of the Lord..."

The elder brother waved his hand, "Understood, you go down." His heart seemed to be humiliated, and he felt that because of himself, Er Niang had to lower her head to beg grandpa to tell grandma.

This kind of heartache made him very uncomfortable, and he kept turning in circles on the spot.Therefore, the idea of ​​being the Nine-Five Supreme Supreme came up. In the past, it was just that the crown prince was not pleasing to the eye. How could an elder brother bow down to his younger brother?Now for himself, for Er Niang, and for his future descendants, he must fight for the throne.

At that time, Huang Ama will pass away, and I will be the emperor, no matter what imperial concubine or noble concubine... I will put a smile on my mother's face, and be careful with my daughter-in-law, so my mother will never have to live like this again. Raising myself is finally rewarded... This is my filial piety.

Thinking of this, he looked at Tian Mi's tent and turned away. After walking a few steps, he told the eunuchs beside him to invite Mingzhu over.

At this time, he had changed his mind. It was no longer important to win over those Mongols. The important thing was to hold the ministers in the court in his own hands.It has been a while since Mingzhu and herself have secretly communicated about the song, and now that Mingzhu takes the initiative to contain the gangsters, then she will be able to compete with the prince.

Tian Mi sent out the fourth elder brother beside her, and then said a few polite words to Concubine Hui who was sitting beside her, "Let me be presumptuous, my body is too weak, I coughed for most of the night yesterday, and I won't sleep until dawn. She slept for a while, she just woke up and hasn't washed her hair yet."

Although Tian Mi was well dressed, her hair was disheveled and her face was black and blue. She knew she was seriously ill at first glance.Seeing her like this, Concubine Hui couldn't care less about seeing a patient without washing.What's more, I came here today to ask for something, so the obedient words were said one after another.

Tian Mi felt a little bored after listening for a while, "Speaking of which, we have known each other for a long time. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"After knowing that the empress is ill, the concubine has been worrying about you all the time, thinking that you are still sick and worrying about such a big mess, it is really hard work, the court ladies and eunuchs around you may not have enough manpower , Chenqie still has a few maids who are useful here and want to send them to you for you to order, and you will return them to Chenqie after you use them up, so you can't just leave them if you think they are good enough to use."

The last sentence seemed to be a joke, and Tian Mi also laughed.

It is impossible for Tian Mi to be short of people, but Concubine Hui's words are tactful enough.Tian Mi couldn't help staring at her, "It is reasonable to ask the emperor for instructions on this matter, but the matter is urgent, so how about it, we women can't interfere with the matters in the paddock, and the Chengde Palace is too far away. , all the things around the paddock are entrusted to you, thank you for your hard work."

This is more errands than Concubine Hui expected, and she couldn't help but beam with joy, and she had to be polite on the surface, "I'm afraid the concubine is not talented enough to shoulder such a big burden..."

This made Tian Mi unhappy, obviously you couldn't wait to take over this mess, now that it's for you, do you still want me to invite you three times and four times?It's like some people are standing up and down, can't help turning their heads to look at the herring standing beside them, deliberately scaring Concubine Hui, "That's it! The herring next to Bengong has more things to do, let her Assisting at the side..."

"No, no, Miss Herring is going to take care of you. Your body is more important than anything else. The concubine loves you wrongly. The concubine will do this first. If the concubine comes to ask for advice if there is something she doesn't understand, you should not hesitate to teach me." It is."

Tian Mi picked up the tea at this time, "Look at what you said, we sisters are all in the same family, so why bother to talk about different families." After finishing speaking, Tian Mi took a sip of tea, did not put down the teacup, and kept holding it in her hand, " After all, apart from Ben Gong, you are the only one who can take care of things."

The yin and yang of the last sentence, coupled with Tian Mi serving tea to the guests, although Concubine Hui was angry in her heart, but the benefits she got today were more than what she had imagined just now, and overall she was in a happy mood.

"It's really the wrong love for the empress... How about this, Chen Qie will go over and see what can be used immediately, and you should rest early, the sisters in the palace are counting on you to get well soon and take care of everyone, Chen Qie will leave, tomorrow In the morning, my concubine will come to greet you again."
