Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

After Tian Mi heard this, she couldn't help looking at Kangxi's face, and then asked him with a smile, "Why do you have such an idea? Lao Liu and his mother have been together for so many years. It's going to be sent to the upper study, so it might not be appropriate to find him a foster mother at this time."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea, taking advantage of the time to lower his head, he hid all the expressions on his face.

Kangxi did not observe Tian Mi's expression carefully, but instead patted his palm with a folding fan, "Lao Liu, that child is spoiled to the point of disrespect."

After Tian Mi heard this, she laughed. In her heart, she felt that she was really a bad woman, but rationally, she felt that it would be best for Lao Liu to be with his mother.

"Look at what my cousin said, which one of our children is not spoiled? A few days ago, I asked the fourth elder brother to come over. I said that taking advantage of the pagoda tree flowers in the mountain, I would take a bunch of them and steam them. He didn't know that pagoda tree flowers can be eaten. So when it comes to pampering children, women in the palace can get involved. The sixth mother has an idea in her heart, and besides, she is almost 6 years old now. I can't control that much anymore. Don't make troubles, the sixth child won't want to, and it won't look good if you cry so hard."

Kangxi still had some hesitation, so Tian Mi held his hand, "Children are good children, and parents can teach them as much as possible. Speaking of caring for children—except for the ones raised by myself, there are a few who really care about them." So much for it."

Kangxi nodded after listening, "Cousin is right, if you send Lao Liu to other concubines at this time, they will not understand him first, and second, Lao Liu will not listen to him. At that time, the child will not teach Well, maybe it’s overkill.”

This matter was over, and the topic of the two people turned to what kind of earthenware to bring back to the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager.After another 10 days, Tian Mi finally returned to the capital after traveling all the way. Tian Mi didn't go to the Forbidden City, but directly went to the Changchun Garden outside the city.

The place where Tian Mi lives is very close to Kangxi's bedroom. There is another palace behind Kangxi's bedroom. It is a small two-story building with a splendid atmosphere.When Tian Mi came out for a walk, she couldn't help but ask, "Who lives in that place?"

"Now it is for Empress Debi to live in. In a few days, Empress Hui will come and live in too."

Tian Mi turned her head and quickly looked at Eunuch Chen who was following her, "So, that place is not fixed?"

"Your Majesty, you should think about it. There are not many houses in this garden, not to mention that the princes and daughters have come out. In addition to the residence, there is also a place to study. The empress dowager's ancestor's place and the empress dowager's place are crowded with others. It's not outrageous, so the two old people occupy another space. A master of the harem like you also needs to have his own separate residence, after all, isn't it just sharing a house with other empresses?"

Tian Mi nodded, at this moment, she finally realized the benefits of being much higher and doing better than others.

It was the setting sun at this moment, Tian Mi came back to the bedroom from Kangxi's few acres of rice fields, and the fourth elder brother had already been sent to the upper study room, except when he had time to come over for a meal every night, he would never be seen again at other times The figure who went out to run and play.

This time, in addition to bringing the elder brother, the crown prince, the third elder brother, and the fourth elder brother who were studying in the upper study room, the empress dowager also brought the fifth elder brother, and the concubine brought the sixth elder brother. As for the seventh elder brother , because his mother-in-law was not favored, and Concubine Hui did not come to the garden, so the seventh and eighth elder brothers are still in the palace.

The sixth elder brother went to play with the fifth elder brother in a different way, and the fifth elder brother tried to hide from the sixth elder brother. In order to avoid the sixth elder brother, the fifth elder brother is now willing to accompany the empress dowager to chant sutras, but the concubine De I wanted the sixth elder brother to flatter the empress dowager together, but the sixth elder brother couldn't sit still. After staying for a day, he brought the little eunuch to play in the entire Changchun Garden by himself.

He hasn't been here before, the first time he came here, he naturally wanted to go in and have a look. This time, apart from those high-ranking concubines, many low-ranking concubines also came here. live together.

Many people also brought cats and dogs.

The sixth elder brother has his eyes on these kittens and puppies that are often raised by the promises, and often runs over to play with these little things. These constant promises are naturally 1 willing to flatter the concubine.After playing for a few days, Brother Six wanted to take these little things as his own.

Except for a few who really love the cats and dogs around them, the others agreed without hesitation, and hurriedly dressed up the cats, cats and dogs in a small basket and sent them to the sixth elder brother.

That night, Kangxi and Tian Mi, who came back early from the Hall of Arrows, had dinner together. During the meal, Li Dequan came in with a basket from the outside, opened the cloth covering it, and Tian Mi saw a long-haired cat lying in the in.

The kitten meowed a few times, opened its eyes and looked at Tian Mi, Tian Mi suddenly found that its two eyeballs were different.

"Its two eyeballs...are actually two colors. Cousin, come and see."

Kangxi laughed, threw the handkerchief in the basin, waved his hand, and asked the maid to take it down. "Look at your worthless appearance, don't you know that Linqing lion cats with different eyeballs are the top grade?"

As a cat slave in her previous life, Tian Mi, who had never even raised a cat, shut up and didn't speak.

Then the kitten turned over, and Tian Mi found that there was still a bunch of fur on his back, which was actually brownish red.In order to avoid being laughed at again, Tian Mi didn't make a fuss this time, but stared at the kitten without blinking her eyes, and stretched out her hand to pinch the kitten's pads.This feeling... this feeling... is simply... indescribable.

Kangxi came over, put Tian Mi in his arms and stared at the kitten, "I didn't expect to send a top-quality lion cat. The eyeballs are different colors, so it's high-quality, but the one with red on the back is really very rare. This It’s called good fortune. It’s really your luck that you can’t pick one out of tens of thousands of cats. If you want to raise a cat, it will be born. Take good care of it, maybe it will bring you good luck.”

Talking about pinching the nape of the cat and putting it into Tian Mi's arms, Tian Mi carefully proceeded to stroke the cat's head slowly in her arms, feeling so happy that she was at the pinnacle of her life.

Li Dequan interjected next to him, "I heard that the old cat gave birth to a total of three kittens, one of which was sent to Master Tong, and the other was taken away by nobleman Ping, and the remaining one was given to Fujin by the Queen Mother. .”

Needless to say, the one sent to Tian Mi is the best one. Tian Mi couldn't help but point the cat's nose, "Cousin, please give me a name?"

"Call it Hongyun. If you are lucky, you can do everything easily."

Tian Mi got a kitten bestowed by the emperor, this insignificant incident was widely circulated in Changchun Garden, but Tian Mi didn't know about it.

Of course, the sixth elder brother who asked those little ones who promised little Changzai to ask for a cat every day also heard about it.He only heard people say how good the cat was, and how white its fur was, and after hearing that, he ran back to find his mother-in-law.

"Er Niang, my son also wants to raise a cat, so he wants Niang Niang's cat."

Debi was a little angry these two days. At the beginning, he didn't know that the place where he lived was shared by several concubines, so he asked someone to erect a large tank in the yard, and there were lotus and koi in the tank.

Who knows that concubine Hui will come in a few days, bringing along the nobleman Wei who is the most colorful in Zhongcui Palace. Don't look at this nobleman Wei who has just given birth to a child not long ago, but he is slender and has no spots on his face. They were all accompanying them, suppressing the limelight of the Huang nobleman of the Yonghe Palace in one fell swoop.

Concubine Hui began to feel complacent, and immediately asked the eunuch to come over to remove the vat of lotus raised by Concubine De.The family also had reasons, "This place belongs to our sisters, and it's not the boundary of the Yonghe Palace. Wouldn't putting a tank hinder us from walking?"

Debi endured the breath with a smile, suffered from being dumb, and did not relieve the breath for two consecutive days.

I also heard that my son wanted the imperial concubine's cat, and after thinking about it, I became a little angry, "You don't even think about it, a cat in her palace is more noble than others, and your mother doesn't have the face to go Get it back for you, go out and play, don't think so much."

Sixth elder brother's domineering temper has been developed, so he took Debi's hand at that time, "No, no, my son must want that cat, my mother, find a way to get it for my son, what a mother, son I beg you."

Debi was so shaken by him that she couldn't help rubbing her forehead, "I know, I know. Stop shaking and let Er Niang think about it."

Sixth elder brother was waiting quietly beside him, and Debi finally came up with an idea after thinking for a while. "Don't you want that cat? If you can't come, but you can take it to play. How about this, you go to the study and wait for your fourth brother after school, and you can pester him to give the emperor Greetings, concubine, isn't that the cat that you can play with as you like?"

Brother Six was unhappy and wrinkled his face, "But my son wants to hug us."

"It was bestowed by your Huang Ama. Even if Er Niang could ask her for her face, she would not give it to her. How can you give it away casually. Besides, she is the apex of your Huang Ama's heart." Look at that person, you don't need to think about how to be a pet, and you don't need to think about the little gadgets that raise a palace to lure the emperor over. Your emperor Ama always thinks about her. After all, they were childhood sweethearts who grew up together, and they are cousins, even if they are talking about things differently from the past, walking and panting like a consumptive ghost, no one can get over their affection."

Although Sixth Brother can understand these sour words, but it can't achieve his goal, "Son wants it, son wants it."

There was really nothing he could do about it, Debi gave him another idea, "You go to your fourth brother, you two are blood brothers, tell him you want it, and ask your fourth brother to hug you. Even if he doesn't agree, it's okay, as long as you can meet that kitty, you can hug him back, and when the people around the imperial concubine come to ask for it, you can say that it was given to you by your fourth brother, the imperial concubine is of high rank Weight, she wants face, and she has nothing to do with a child like you. At that time, Er Niang will take you to make amends while your Huang Ama is with her, and she can only do it in front of your Huang Ama. Said that the kitten was gone and given to you. Then the kitten is yours."

"The fourth brother will be scolded by her."

"Why do you care so much? Does he have anything to do with you? Do you want a cat? If you want to achieve your goal, you have to step on your brothers."

"My son knows."
