Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

Tian Mi brought Wei Guiren to Chengqian Palace.Some people brought some easy-to-understand books and spread them all on the kang.

"It's all here, just take whatever you want."

Mr. Wei took a look, and all he saw were books, he quickly lowered his head, "The concubine has little knowledge and can't read, you can just give the concubine the most obvious rewards."

If we say that the most obvious ones should belong to the enlightenment books, "San Zi Jing", "Hundred Surnames" and "Thousand Characters".Tian Mi doesn’t have this kind of book here. Tian Mi found out “Long Wen Bian Ying” written by Qian Ming, “Let’s read this book. It looks interesting. It’s all about ancient things.”

Wei Guiren took the book, held it in his hand and said a few words of gratitude, and when he heard that the emperor's Luanjia was about to arrive at Chengqian Palace, he hurriedly retreated and didn't dare to stay any longer.

After Mrs. Wei left, Qing Yu couldn't help frowning as she looked at her back, "Madam, what does Mrs. Wei mean by this? Could it be that you want to get close to the emperor?"

Tian Mi shook her head, "Don't think of people so dirty, maybe she really wants to borrow a book to read. Besides, the emperor is in the palace, whether it's on the road or at a banquet, someone throws a book at him. A wink, if he sees it, he will naturally find someone, but if he can't see it, how have so many beautiful women in the harem ever wronged him."

So things like fighting for favor can happen, but it's not necessary.

Qingyu still frowned when she heard Tian Mi say this, "Mother, there is a saying that I don't know whether to say or not. The old saying goes that the promotion of the mistress fights the hatred of the mistress. Although the empress has the intention of promoting the nobleman Wei, her heart has always been dark. , She doesn’t even know the horizontal and vertical, but you gave her a book, how can she understand what it means? If you complain later, your good intentions will become a bad thing.”

This reminded Tian Mi of something that happened to her in her previous life.

Tian Mi lived a wonderful life in her previous life. She was an orphan without father and mother at first, and grew up in a rural orphanage.When I was young, I played with a girl in the town. They changed into new clothes every day. When I was happy, I wore a new set in the morning and a new set in the afternoon.For the little girl, this is her life. For Tian Mi, envy and jealousy have quickly turned into hatred over the years.

Although she was envious and jealous, before Tian Mi had time to express all her emotions, her childhood friend got a sudden illness and passed away.

After this little friend passed away, Tian Mi took over all her clothes.Eight-year-old Tian Mi can already understand, even if she got all the clothes, so what?The little buddy is gone.

Although she understood this truth, the process of changing from envy to jealousy and soon to hatred was deeply imprinted in Tian Mi's heart.Became a ferocious beast, locked in the deepest part of my heart.Tian Mi often used the words of the dean's mother to persuade herself, "Sometimes there must be something in life, and there is always time in life, so don't force it."

This sentence made her calm and calm in the eyes of others. After going through the ups and downs of life, she got used to seeing the sun rise and set.Putting the bag that others wanted on the curb and sitting under her buttocks, others looked at her in disbelief or even envy. It was not until that moment that Tian Mi felt that the beast in her heart had disappeared without a trace.Only through experience can we see it.

Now I am just like that little friend back then, and Mrs. Wei is just like me back then.In this era when many people are illiterate, all the maids who can read and write are all in the Qianqing Palace, and those in the harem are also the confidantes and right-hand men of the empresses. The nobleman Wei can't find anyone to teach her how to read.There is no way to read a book, and it may end up adding more jokes.

And I not only have so many books, but also so much knowledge, and I will not worry about food and drink for a lifetime.The book she longs for, I can find a lot here, this is my daily life for me, and for her, it is really a goal that can only be achieved with a lifetime.

The fault is neither her nor her.But after a long time, it can always ferment into a kind of envy, jealousy and hatred. If you can't control the beast in your heart, you can let yourself become a beast.That's what Herring meant, if she helped her today, she might not be grateful later, and what would worsen her situation.

Tian Mi couldn't help turning her head to look at the book on the kang. At this moment, she suddenly understood a truth. If she forcibly made friends with Wei Guiren, it would be a kind of torture to Wei Guiren and herself. The best way is for the two to become friends. Two lines never intersect.If you don't intersect, you won't compare, and if you don't compare, you won't feel unbalanced.

Having made up her mind, Tian Mi breathed a sigh of relief, and after she let out the breath, Kangxi had already come behind her.

"I heard that you are not feeling well today."

"Which Ear God has such a long tongue, he has already reported to you so soon."

"Don't dislike them for having long tongues," Kangxi looked carefully at Tian Mi's face, Tian Mi looked a little pale even with a layer of powder on her face.He showed a bit distressed look, "Are you tired?"

Tian Mi told the truth, "It's so smoked, I watched the shaman dancing there, the spices were brought in pot by pot, you smell this smell on me, bring a brazier over, I don't need to sit by the side Turn it over and it will give you the smell of barbecue."

"You're talking nonsense here again! That's a sacrifice. I think you've been a little disrespectful to gods and Buddhas in recent days."

When Kangxi said this, Tian Mi suddenly remembered her personality, she was a devout believer, offering three sticks of incense to Bodhisattva every day.

Thinking of this, he lightly slapped himself on the face with his fingers, "Blame me, blame me, Amitabha, don't blame the Bodhisattva. Cousin, sit down first, and I'll go and offer incense to the Bodhisattva to make amends, and I'll be back later."

Tian Mi hurriedly put on her cloak and led the people to the apse to offer incense.Kangxi sat on the edge of the Kang and watched the maids put away the books.

"What's the matter? What day did you put the books here?"

The maid did not dare to hide anything, and told the story of Tian Mi bringing Mrs. Wei to select books.When Kangxi heard that nobleman Wei had taken a copy of "Longwenbianying", he asked the eunuch to go to Qianqing Palace to get a copy and make it up.

When Tian Mi came back, the books had just been delivered here. Kangxi had just seen "Deng You's abandoned son, Guo Ju buried his son." Here, Tian Mi has already hurried in from the outside, untied her cloak and took off her shoes. Hurry up and nest on the kang.

She screamed that it was so cold and she was about to put her hands into Kangxi's sleeves, so Kangxi put down the book, put his hands in his own and covered them.

Tian Mi looked down, "Hehe,"

The story of Deng You abandoning his son tells the story of a man named Deng You who lived in the chaotic era. During the chaos, he tied his son to a tree and ran away with his nephew on his back. Later, he fled to the south of the Yangtze River and took a concubine. Unfortunately, A concubine does not have a son, some people feel that such a righteous man has no descendants?Guo Ju later said that his family was too poor, so the couple dug a pit and buried their son in order to take care of their mother.

After reading these two stories, people felt depressed, and Tian Mi didn't even think about commenting.

Although Tian Mi had no intention of commenting, Kangxi had his own opinion after reading it.

Kangxi also disapproved of these two people, but his focus was different from that of ordinary people. He felt that the reason for this was entirely due to the turmoil in the world and the poverty of the people. "If we don't make the world turbulent and the people don't live in poverty, then this kind of thing will never happen again."

He is the emperor, so he can naturally speak boldly at this time.Taking advantage of this time, he couldn't help but speak out about his ambitions.

Tian Mi listened quietly at first, but later the two had a disagreement.Tian Mi thinks that private capital should be opened up. In the end, private capital drives the society forward, and private capital can effectively transfer materials back and forth across the country, which can reduce famine and increase employment rate across the country.

But Kangxi didn't think so. He felt that agriculture should be the foundation and the country should be founded on agriculture. "Since ancient times, food has been the most important thing for people, and merchants have not been condoned in all dynasties. If you do business to make money, who will cultivate the fields? If no one cultivates the fields, the rich will buy them, leaving the poor with no land to cultivate." In the end, he took a sip of tea and nodded Tian Mi's forehead, "You, it's because you have earned a few taels of silver that you don't know how high the sky is. Don't take it to heart, as long as I don't get confused in my heart, everything will be beyond my control." Palm."

No one can influence anyone, and Tian Mi never thought that he would be able to reverse his concept in a short while.

Because the two of them were having a good time talking, they found a book after a hasty dinner, and the two started a verbal battle over the description of a certain character in the book.

Kangxi had already made up his mind in his heart, and when the spring came, he would take his people on the prairie for a personal expedition, and then he would tell his cousin what happened on the prairie.

Anyway, women won't be able to go to the battlefield. At that time, I will just show off my heroic appearance on the battlefield, and my custodian cousin will be delighted when she hears it.

Concubine Hui of Zhongcui Palace on the other side heard that nobleman Wei had returned, so she asked someone to call nobleman Wei over.

Seeing Mrs. Wei keeping her head down and not speaking, Concubine Hui was anxious, "Don't keep your head down, I'm asking you. Have you caught up with the imperial concubine's line?"

"The imperial concubine is a humble person, and she is kind to her concubines. I borrowed a book from her today, and I will go to her to read a few words in a few days. After going back and forth, I am familiar with it, and I can say some things."

Concubine Hui nodded, "You have a good idea." She boasted so much, but sneered a few times in her heart, no wonder she was able to give birth to a son, this is also a scheming little fairy.

"I heard that the emperor went to Chengqian Palace when you came back. Why, you didn't meet the emperor?"

"The emperor was still on the way when the concubine came back, so I didn't meet him."

After hearing this, Concubine Hui couldn't help telling Mrs. Wei, "Don't be too honest, you might as well wait there for a while, and you must meet the emperor next time. When you see the emperor, please mention our Zhongcui Palace more. If the meat is eaten, the sisters cannot be left without soup."

Hearing this, nobleman Wei raised his head and smiled, "The concubine always remembers that the sisters in the palace are all well, we all prosper and all lose."

After hearing this, Concubine Hui couldn't help but applaud, "It's a good word to use the word "one prosperity, one loss, one loss."

"I also learned this from my sisters. When I usually talk, my concubine always feels that some words know the meaning, but why can't I say that, and I can learn a few words by talking to the sisters in the harem a few more times. .”

The two chatted and joked a little more, Concubine Hui couldn't help urging Mrs. Wei to act quickly, after all, after wasting such a long period of time, the money in her hand seemed to be bottoming out, and she still hadn't got the right.

If you can't intervene this New Year's Eve, then you will lose a great opportunity to make money.This made Concubine Hui very anxious, to the point where she couldn't sleep at night.

The more urgent she urged, the greater the pressure on Mrs. Wei, so Mrs. Wei came to Tian Mi quietly after two days.

Tian Mi had already thought about her decision, so she said that she was too busy and asked the maid to deal with Mrs. Wei.

Mrs. Wei's purpose today was to return the books. Hearing that Tian Mi was busy and didn't have time to see her, she didn't bother her too much, and said embarrassedly to Herring who came to receive her.

"I was very happy when I borrowed the book back from my empress, but after asking all the maids around me, they couldn't read. I thought it was useless to leave this book with me, so I might as well return it. To the empress."

Qingyu didn't want to talk so much with Mrs. Wei, so she took the book back, "Why don't you sit down for a while, and the servant will bring you another bowl of tea?"

This is the meaning of bringing tea to see off guests, Mr. Wei could hear it, thinking in his heart that this time he had miscalculated, and he didn't see the right owner, no matter how much he prepared, it was useless.

And Mrs. Wei didn't want to waste such a good opportunity, let alone do things for Concubine Hui, but she was a smart person, and she knew that she couldn't talk too much just by rolling her eyes at this time.The new year is coming soon, and when the new year comes, I can still see the imperial concubine, and I can still use this book as a fuss.

"No, thank you, Miss Herring, you guys are busy first, I'll go back now."

As soon as she went out here, Eunuch Chen accompanied Kangxi in at the gate of the palace over there.Speaking of which, it was really a coincidence that they met this time, she suppressed the joy in her heart, and stood meekly aside with her head down, acting inconspicuously, in fact, she wished that the emperor could see her at a glance.

When Kangxi passed by, he didn't look at her more, but in the afternoon, Mrs. Wei was called to serve the pen and ink in the Qianqing Palace.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, Kangxi took the time to write out blessings to reward princes and ministers. In previous years, the prince was grinding ink while writing. Kangxi thought that the prince is getting older, and it is time to get in touch with brothers. , So I urged my sons to practice Buku together, and invited Mr. Wei to grind ink.

Among the maids of Qianqing Palace, only those who are older can work honestly, and the other young and beautiful palace ladies have eyeballs on the top of their heads.Some of them have connections with the harem, and each takes what they need, and soon the news reaches the ears of the masters of the harem through various channels.

Tian Mi never sent anyone to inquire about the news of Qianqing Palace, even if someone said Tian Mi in front of her, she would pretend not to hear it.Concubines are not allowed to ask about anything that happened in the heart of the empire, Tian Mi must stick to this rule no matter what, after all Kangxi will kill others when he is annoyed.

And other people always have a bit of fluke mentality, Concubine Hui heard that, apart from scolding people in her heart every day, she thought that Mrs. Wei might not be working hard.Mrs. Wei was only thinking of taking advantage of their mother and son, but he didn't do what he told him.

"It seems that Mrs. Wei can't count on it. It's cold these days, please tell me, don't let our eighth elder brother go out, and other idlers can't see you."

The noble concubine didn't take it seriously when she heard the news, "Your Majesty Wei is a servant of Israel, so you don't need to tell me about this kind of thing."

Concubine Rong didn't take it to heart at all. After all, she had a son and a daughter, and it was a bit unrealistic to compete for favor now.Concubine Yi didn't even bother to meddle in these nosy matters, because Elder Brother Jiu was ill, and the Chinese New Year was coming soon, the palace was full of joy, and Elder Brother Jiu didn't dare to publicize that Elder Brother Jiu was ill, except for Concubine Yi who was anxious to worry about. Only fifth elder brother, who is a real brother, followed suit.

Wei Guiren, the topic character at the moment, was full of pain, and he didn't grasp such a good opportunity.

After all, she didn't have any experience in writing with a brush, and she couldn't even grind ink well enough. Kangxi wrote a few words and was very satisfied. Mrs. Wei knew that she should flatter her at this time, but she just couldn't tell what was so good about it. place.

When serving tea, an elderly lady in the palace even praised a few words, "The imposing manner is powerful and coherent, and there is a domineering air between the lines. I don't know who the emperor wants to reward this word for?"

"For you, Master Tong, I'll post it in her bedroom. I hope that the blessings of my ancestors will bring her good fortune, and don't get sick again in the coming year."

The court lady didn't show the slightest flattery, and the emperor cheered up with two or three words.At this time, nobleman Wei felt that he was quite useless, so he could only smile at the maid.

When Wei Guiren went out, the maid personally sent her to the gate of Qianqing Palace.Only then did Mrs. Wei find out that this old palace lady was serving the emperor to study in the early years, and she was older than the emperor. When the emperor was studying, she stood in the corner of the room, serving water during the day and lighting the lamp at night, just like this, she is also self-taught .

Wei Guiren thinks that reading is really important, even if you know a little bit, even if you are not proficient?Even if my flattery is particularly bad at this time, I still have something to talk about.If things go on like this, I can only be a beauty lamp, only worthy of standing in the corner.

She sighed and was about to leave, when she heard someone behind her calling, "Your Majesty, please stay."

Mrs. Wei's master and servant turned around and saw a small and unique maid standing behind her. The maid cautiously approached her. It turned out that she had received news that a group of maids would be sent to the harem in the Qianqing Palace.

"I heard that it's next year's draft, and some masters will be recruited into the harem, and the east and west twelve palaces are short of maids, so the palace maids of Qianqing Palace have to make up a little later. The servants have no savings for so many years, and the family can't afford it. , I can't get ahead here, so I must move to the harem. If I come to other empresses, I will be a little scared in my heart. I have seen many empresses in the past few days, and I think you have a kind face, and I am happy to see you , I want to ask the empress to open her mouth and ask the servant to go there, the servant is called Huang Li."

After hearing this, nobleman Wei thought that he was dozing off when someone brought a pillow, "Do you know how to read?"

The court lady nodded quickly, "I can read and write, I can write and read, and I used to learn abacus at home."

"What books have you read?"

"I have read "Three Hundred Poems", and I have also roughly read the Four Books and Five Classics, but I am not proficient enough."

Mrs. Wei thought that even if there were court ladies who were familiar with all kinds of books, it might not be in his hands. The girl in front of him looked quite cute, and she was sent up automatically.Now I am short of manpower, and even less confidants.

The timing of this oriole girl's arrival is a bit coincidental. If there is really no one else behind her, she might as well keep it in her hand.Mrs. Wei wanted to learn to read so much, in fact, she already wanted to bring this maid to her side.

"Understood, I can't decide this matter, I can help you when the time comes."

The court lady retired happily, and Mrs. Wei went back to inquire. Sure enough, the news was true. Chuxiu Palace, where the show girls stayed overnight, has already started to clean the place. It is said that there will be a lot of people in this draft.Several palaces have already begun to be renovated. According to the practice of previous years, everyone privately guessed that there will be more than a dozen beautiful women left this time.

Wei Guiren sent someone to inquire about the origin of this oriole, and he heard that he didn't know who he had offended, and this oriole named Oriole was included in the flock of birds as soon as he entered the palace.

This is a private slang word among slaves. There are two types of maids in the Qianqing Palace.Bird names are all maids of honor, most of whom serve during the day.Those named after flowers may serve at night, and these maids named after flowers may become empresses, so they are usually very arrogant, and most people dare not offend.

This oriole was squeezed out in the palace, and she was often asked to work more.Wei Gui thought that Huang Li might not want to stay in Qianqing Palace anymore, so he hurried to find a master in the harem.

Although he had already made up his mind to keep this oriole by his side, he was cautious and couldn't let this idea out for a while, let alone she hadn't come to the harem yet.

When she spent a lot of money to inquire about these news, the Empress Dowager in the Compassion Ning Palace also received the report.

After hearing the news, the old lady snorted in her heart, "It's true that if you don't go to heaven, you don't go, but if you don't go to hell, you just go in."

Aunt Su Ma also sighed, "Ge Ge, don't take it to heart, some people don't give up when they don't see the Yellow River."

Of course the old lady understood this truth, "It's fine if this oriole is for glory and wealth. If he has other thoughts..."

Aunt Su Ma doesn't know what to say anymore, it's not appropriate to be a slave anyway, this kind of thing has to be decided by the master.

The old lady quickly made up her mind, that is to let it go, the old lady thinks very well, how long can I take care of it when I am old?

The hostess in this palace has long been replaced. She is old, and if she cares too much, she will be disgusted by others.

No matter what, no matter what, everyone has a group of confidants around them, let them think about such things.

"Let's not grow old and become shameless. It's a good thing to be neither deaf nor dumb."

"Do you want to tell the imperial concubine?"

"Tell her what? Tell her Huang Changzai's younger sister, that court lady named Huang Li is now jumping up and down and wants to come to the harem. The purpose is unknown. I don't know if she wants to follow her sister's old path or wants to deal with Ge Gege left behind by Concubine De. Start? She has too many things to worry about, and it's not worth worrying about a person whose purpose is unknown. If you feel uneasy in your heart, you should find a chance to talk to the herring next to him. "

After hearing this, La Aunt Su Ma thought she should find a chance to mention it.Immediately afterwards, the old lady said: "Since she wants to come in, let her come in. You tell the imperial concubine to do this matter earlier, and transfer this group of people to the harem a year ago."

What the old lady actually thought in her heart was that since this group of people wanted to dance, it would be better to give them a chance.Instead of letting them figure out a way over there, it is better to use the harem they circle to see which way the ghosts and snakes are.

Just waiting for them to recruit the day lily is cold, and when dealing with these people, they should be cut quickly. Once they show any flaws, they can just cut them down.

So Tian Mi, who was still worrying about all the trivial things during the New Year in Chengqian Palace, received the old lady's orders.

Tian Mi couldn't help but took a sip of tea and rubbed her temples, thinking in her heart that she would be sick for two days first?

If you don't get away with these workloads, you risk sudden death sooner or later.This life is not easy to come by, so we must cherish it.

At that time, Tian Mi started to deal with the things ordered by the old lady. After counting the list, how many palace ladies should be placed in each place, and their moving, after dividing the steps, Tian Mi was out of breath again. .

After getting this news, although the imperial physician has not given any advice on whether to stay in bed or not.Concubine Hui felt like she wanted to have a carnival, and she felt that she would be able to take over the New Year's affairs soon.

She held back the joy in her heart and asked the eunuch to go out to inquire about the news. After a while, the eunuch came back and narrated what he had heard.

"The empress dowager said that the imperial concubine and concubine should rest in peace for the next two days. In a few days, the concubine and concubine should be presided over by the concubine. If you don't want to discuss it with the four concubines, you must not disturb the cultivation of the imperial concubine."

Concubine Hui beamed with joy, "Of course I can't disturb the imperial concubine."

From Concubine Hui's point of view, with the words of the old lady, the imperial concubine will be blind and deaf at that time, and she will not be able to intervene in any matter at the first time.

Although there are three other people who are holding back and need to balance and compromise with each other, I have achieved my goal indirectly.

After a while, the official order came, and Concubine Hui immediately took out her new clothes and put them on, washed and dressed again, and sat in the hall waiting for someone to report to her.

Because the New Year is coming soon, the fourth elder brother will not go to the study anymore, and at this time, he will go to the Chengqian Palace to personally serve the illness with soup and medicine.

When the fourth elder brother went, Tian Mi was sitting in the rocking chair with a cat in her arms, rocking leisurely.

The fourth elder brother saw it and immediately understood that it was Erniang pretending to be sick again, so he couldn't help but ran over and lay down on the armrest of the rocking chair, "Why did you use this trick again?"

"If you don't use this trick again, your mother will be so tired that you can't stand up straight. Let me tell you, when the Chinese New Year arrives, people come to me for advice on everything, even those gold and silver zippers. Find me. Aren’t those auspicious patterns in previous years very useful? This year I can continue to use them. This year I took more than 20 patterns for me to choose, and said that different patterns are rewarded to different people. My mother was quarreled by them headache."

"It's always like this during Chinese New Year. Things for princesses and things for elder brothers can be divided into different grades." Si elder brother breathed a sigh of relief after finishing speaking. Er Niang was pretending to be sick, but she wasn't really sick, although I have to put on a show here, but it's not a bad thing after all.

Tian Mi reached out and tapped his forehead, "Are you asking for leave again? Bring your book, I want to watch you study here."

Although I know that learning such a thing is like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat, but the fourth elder brother still wants to act like a baby. Tian Mi will ask him to go back to get the books after he finishes acting like a baby, "Send someone to fetch the things, we mother and son together Learning, as the so-called live to learn, the things I read before are intermittent, not as coherent as you learn here. Have you recited today's 120 times, let's recite together, mother and child?"

One day passed.

Tian Mi was sick for a day, and the four concubines also worked for a day. After Tian Mi asked her son to be sent away, she called the maids in and asked how things were going outside today.

A newly promoted palace lady named Qing Chuan couldn't help complaining about Concubine Hui, "Our concubine Hui is a little anxious about eating."

After hearing this, Tian Mi couldn't help but look at Qing Chuan one more time, and asked her to tell the story in detail.

During the Chinese New Year, as the elders of the family, the Empress Dowager will receive congratulatory gifts from the palaces of the Aixinjueluo family.

At that time, the Compassionate Ning Palace will have to show something. According to the practice of previous years, the rewards are usually gold and silver wishes.Ruyi has big and small, heavy and light.But whether it is big or small, real money is used.

From the maid's narration, Tian Mi heard that Concubine Hui withheld the gold and silver from the gold and silver Ruyi.

"Some Ruyi is a catty six taels. The gold has passed through her once, and it is only a catty three taels when it is taken to the manufacturing office. The manufacturing office has no choice but to send someone to ask whether it is hollow or copper-filled? "

Hearing this, Qingyu couldn't help saying another thing, "There are red lanterns hanging in the New Year's Palace. Originally, there were some golden beads the size of rice grains on the palace lanterns. When they were taken down, those golden beads were rewarded to everyone." The servant who dismantled the lamp. Half of the gold beads were intercepted this year, and there were tens of thousands in previous years, but this year there are only more than 6000."

Tian Mi couldn't help shaking her head after hearing this. Concubine Hui has been in the palace for so many years, not to mention other things, she has received a lot of rewards every year.She became a concubine early on, and the palaces outside the palace gave so many gifts every year when she celebrates her birthday and festivals. The sum of all these years should be a considerable fortune.Why are you so poor that you are now chopping flesh on the mosquito's legs? This behavior has reached the point where the maids can't stand it, and they can't help but say that she is a little anxious to eat.

When the maids were gone and Tian Mi lay down to sleep, Herring tucked her in the quilt beside her, and the two were still talking about Concubine Hui.

Qingyu couldn't help sighing, "Maybe it's because I think Big Brother is going to marry a wife, and I want to save some money for Big Brother."

Tian Mi couldn't help shaking her head, "It's the son's father who spends money on marrying a wife. I have already set aside the money for the elder brother's marriage, and according to the emperor's instructions, I will give it to them after the elder brother gets married." 23 taels of silver is used for the expenses of settling down. She just waits for her daughter-in-law to come in, so what should he worry about?"

"Leave her alone. You can rest early. Although you can catch your breath these two days, you will have to watch the night during the New Year. If you don't sleep all night, you will have to stay up for another day during the day. Now raise it for a while, when the time comes And suffer less."

That's right, Tian Mi closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

Concubine Hui felt contented today, she had hundreds of taels of gold everywhere today, she was so happy that she couldn't sleep.

She was thinking about what to do tomorrow to get a lot of gold and silver. After all, Chinese New Year is a good opportunity, and this opportunity is not easy to come by. If you don’t get more, you will feel sorry for yourself. When she was thinking about it, a palace lady said that Mrs. Wei is outside See you soon.

Concubine Hui was in a good mood, so she let nobleman Wei come in, and politely asked her to sit down first, "It's so late, what's the matter here, sister? You sit down first, and we can wait for sister to comb her hair before we come in." say."

Mrs. Wei came here today to ask for something, so he quickly took the comb from the maid's hand and combed Concubine Hui's hair one by one. "You also know that Qianqing Palace said that they want to put some court ladies behind, and the concubine here wants to find someone who can read and write..."

Only then did Concubine Hui realize that Mrs. Wei was missing a court lady, and she knew in her heart that Mrs. Wei wanted to read some books so that she could talk to the emperor.But freezing three feet is not a one-day cold, and some people are not born with the seeds of reading.Maybe in the end, Mrs. Wei's bamboo basket fetching water will be empty, and I don't know who will take advantage of it.

"Have you thought about the candidate in your heart? While I can talk to you in the past two days, I will ask you to come over. If the imperial concubine becomes the head of the family in a few days, things will be difficult to handle."

"It's a man named Huang Li, who looks more honest."

Concubine Hui thought for a while, "Since I want her to follow you, I will send someone to tell her to come to our Zhongcui Palace tomorrow, but I will tell you the ugly things first. These maids in Qianqing Palace are not honest and obedient. If I cause trouble, I will only ask you for guilt."

"From the Qianqing Palace to our Zhongcui Palace, they are the slaves of our Zhongcui Palace. If you dare to use the bad habits you learned in the Qianqing Palace, the sisters in our palace will not agree."

Concubine Hui nodded, the reason is this, in my hands you are my slave, no matter who your former master is, if you dare to be disobedient and fight with the big board, you will know if you will be obedient after the pain.

Thinking of this, Concubine Hui turned her head to look at Mrs. Wei's face under the light. Although Mrs. Wei was beautiful, she could see a little distress when she lowered her head at this moment.

Concubine Hui was proud of herself, as a woman, especially a woman in the harem, she cared most about her son.Even if Mrs. Wei has a leopard heart, she would not dare to be disobedient with her son in her hands at this moment.

Concubine Hui is in a good mood after taming nobleman Wei and getting so much gold today, "It's late at night, you should go back early."

Mrs. Wei agreed, and when he exited the bedroom, he looked at the left side hall.Eighth Brother must have fallen asleep at this time, Wei Guiren raised his head and looked in the direction of the Yonghe Palace, and told himself to be patient, only by being patient can he seize the opportunity.

That night, Brother Jiu started to have a high fever, Concubine Yi drove her sister Guo Guiren like a mule, and insisted that Guo Guiren find a way to open the palace gate to call the imperial doctor.

Guo Guiren had no choice but to see Concubine Yi crying while hugging Brother Jiu, so he had to bring the servants in thick clothes, holding torches and lanterns to the gate of the palace and calling for the door.

The eunuchs refused to open the door, and Guo Guiren cried and cursed, because the prince was involved, the group of eunuchs had no choice but to come out from the West Sixth Palace.A letter was sent to the East Sixth Palace, and someone quickly came to Chengqian Palace to ask for instructions.

Naturally, Tian Mi asked people to quickly open the gate of the palace to announce the imperial doctor and the doctor's daughter, and then asked her elder maid Qing Yu to go to Yikun Palace to watch over her. That night, Brother Jiu's high fever subsided.Concubine Yi was too frightened by this incident to put her son aside, and she also pushed off the task of managing the harem.

At daybreak, Elder Brother Shi sneezed a few times, the concubine was very nervous and didn't want to take care of things anymore, she reasoned that she was a little dizzy from the wind yesterday and wanted to raise her in the palace.The purpose is to keep an eye on his son so that he does not have a high fever like the neighbor Yifei's ninth elder brother. If such a small child is not taken care of carefully, he might die.There are many children who die in the palace, and Concubine Yi's two sons are so afraid, let alone her only son.

The affairs in the palace fell into the hands of Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui.Waking up by this good news early in the morning, Concubine Hui felt that her timing might really be lucky, so she couldn't help but thank the gods and Buddhas in the sky early in the morning.

When Eldest Brother came to greet Concubine Hui, he saw Concubine Hui muttering words, so he couldn't help but smile and asked, "Is there really such a god?"

At this time, Concubine Hui patted her son on the head, and then pleaded guilty to the gods and Buddhas in the sky, saying that the son is still young, and those who don't know are not guilty.

His attitude could be described as sincere and fearful, and he didn't know if it was true that there were gods and Buddhas secretly blessing him. After a while, the errands of Concubine Gui and Concubine Yi were re-divided and assigned to Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong.
