When he returned to Changchun Garden at night, Kangxi asked someone to bring a pen and ink. He held the brush and thought for a while, then called the herring beside Tian Mi to come over.
The eunuchs in the palace are not allowed to read and write, but the maids in the palace do. As the female official in front of Tian Mi, Herring is also of high rank in the palace, so she can write beautiful calligraphy.
"I dictate, you write." After Kangxi finished speaking, he squinted his eyes and looked at the candle in front of him, "I bow to the emperor..."
Herring's eyelids twitched, and she quickly raised her head to look at Tian Mi, who nodded her head.Herring wrote it down on the paper neatly.
This letter started as a greeting between father and son, and then it talked about the changes in the family this year. There were children in the family, but some children died young.More words describe that the old grandmother is in poor health, often forgets things in a daze, and clamors to return to Shengjing.So I decided that my brothers and I would stay with the old grandmother for a period of time this winter. In the last paragraph, I wrote about my son's concern for the emperor and told me to take good care of my health.
"...Respect Jun'an, I don't have much to say. My son, knock on me."
Herring held several written letters and handed them to Kangxi.Kangxi took it over and read it, then turned around and told Tian Mi, "Prepare some things and give them to King Jian. These things must have the marks of the Grand Councilor or the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Tian Mi thought of the rumors she heard during the day, "It's better to prepare some soft and durable fabrics, and let people make hundreds of monk clothes and shoes and socks, and send some of the tribute tea leaves intact. Is there anything else to give?"
"I bring a little bit of polished rice and dried rice from the tribute, and some ginseng, antler, angelica and ganoderma, plus a small box of silver melon seeds, and some Buddhist scriptures will be printed and sent along with it." Stack the papers and put them in the envelope, "This is the most important, send this along with me when the time comes."
After waiting for a while, Tian Mi asked, "Is it useful?"
"Yes, with this letter, either this year or next year, there must be someone ambushing near Wutai Mountain, and they will be wiped out by then."
Tian Mi nodded to show that she understands that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send things from this year to next year, and maybe it will be picked up in the next few years.
After finishing, he sighed in his heart, "I'm afraid that his news will spread into the palace and let the ancestors know."
Kangxi handed the letter to Li Dequan and asked him to keep it, and said casually, "You underestimate the old ancestor too much. Why hasn't the old ancestor seen the wind and rain? And it's not true. Although I was young back then, I was Those assistant ministers helped him ascend the throne in front of the coffin. I have seen Huang Ama's remains many times." To put it bluntly, how can he not know whether his own father is dead or not?
Tian Mi asked Eunuch Chen to handle this matter personally. Now that it is late autumn and it is already cold in the north, on Tian Mi's birthday, a group of people quietly went out in the capital.This group of people is different from ordinary merchant teams, they are all young people, and the leader is a middle-aged man with white face and beardless.This middle-aged man is a bitch, holding his throat when talking, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a eunuch.
Along the way, this group of people took their time, pretending to be ostentatious and not ostentatious. Some people will come to them, and this letter will naturally fall into the hands of others.
These things are beyond Tian Mi's consideration, Tian Mi spent another birthday in the garden.
The treasure presented by Prince Jian's Mansion is a set of glass cups. This glass is not very pure, it does not look transparent, and it is a little green.
Such things are rare treasures in the eyes of these ladies.Jian Wangfujin was triumphant, "Our housekeeper brought this from Guangzhou."
How much money is spent is secondary, the most important thing is face.Fujin from each palace secretly wrote down the news. Tian Mi wanted to say that this thing is not worth much, that is, rare things are expensive, but seeing the green eyes of these ladies in front of her, she felt that she should not say these words up.
Eating, drinking, and watching a big show, the young and old of Aixinjueluo's family were outside, the women were in the garden, Tian Mi set up dozens of tables for this birthday banquet, and only sent people away when it was getting dark .
Because of drinking a few glasses of wine and the weather was cold, Tian Mi turned out her cotton clothes and put them on, yawned and watched Si elder brother kowtow to her birthday.
"All right, all right, son, it's enough to have this intention."
The fourth elder brother is very happy. He doesn't have to go to class today, and he can spend a day with his mother.As the prince's elder brother said, he is blessed, and he hopes in his heart that he will be able to congratulate Er Niang when he is seventy or eighty, so that his blessing will last forever.
Tian Mi took his hand, "In a few days, you will go to Shengjing with your Huang Ama. Er Niang is not in good health, so she can't go with you. Everything you eat and use on the way will be packed for you. You must say what you don’t want, and don’t wrong yourself. It’s cold over there, if you feel that the clothes are thin, tell me quickly, let the servants make it for you, don’t freeze yourself.”
Tian Mi babbled about her instructions, and finally put her son back when it was late at night.
After her son left, Tian Mi couldn't help wanting to rest early and let the maid remove the jewelry from her head.
"With more than a catty of gold on my forehead, my scalp always feels numb."
Herring quickly took a comb, and slowly combed Tian Mi's hair. At this moment, Tian Mi couldn't help but think of the airbag massage comb she bought in her previous life.
Just when I was about to tell Herring to stop combing, I heard Herring say slowly, "I always feel that the imperial concubine is a bit different today. She just sat there coldly and didn't chat with other people. If there is When the other Fujins asked, they said they were thinking about Elder Brother Ten."
After saying this, Tian Mi realized that all the daughters-in-law of Aixinjueluo's family who came here today, and the wives outside the palace only gave gifts, and none of them came into the garden.The imperial concubine's attitude is indeed a bit abnormal.
"Did Elder Brother Ten never come out to play? Elder Brother Nine and Elder Eight often come out, Elder Ten..."
Tian Mi wanted to ask if this little guy was feeling sick or sick, but Herring shook his head, "I heard that Elder Brother Shi is fat and fat, and the imperial concubine regards him as an eyeball. No matter where you go I see it in my own eyes. Well, I don’t move around very often, and I have a good relationship with the eighth and ninth elder brothers. The ladies all live together, and the brothers all play together.”
Tian Mi thought for a while, but couldn't figure out what was unusual about the imperial concubine, except that she didn't like talking and interacting with people, there was nothing worthy of others' attention.
At most, they have a bit of persecution paranoia, and always feel that someone is looking for trouble for their mother and son.
Not two days after Tian Mi's birthday, Kangxi asked all the concubines in the harem to return to the palace, because he was about to accompany the empress dowager back to Shengjing, and he was worried that all the concubines would live outside.
Tian Mi has a lot of things to do. The elder brother is going to get married after the new year, and there are many things to prepare for. Although Concubine Hui is very busy, she still wants to make money from her son's marriage.Even though the emperor and the empress dowager are not there, the palace still celebrates the New Year. This year, the officials don't have to come to worship, but the wives still have to enter the palace.
Tian Mi became the number one person in the Forbidden City, besides managing affairs, she also had to support this shelf.
Not long after returning to the palace, Tian Mi put all her thoughts outside, until finally the winter solstice came, and according to the northern customs, dumplings were to be eaten on this day.
Tian Mi ordered to go down and prepare enough dumplings for each palace, and sent someone to invite Tong Guiren to eat together.
Tong Guiren came very quickly. Before the winter solstice, the temperature had dropped to freezing. When she came in, she carefully went up the steps with the maid's hand, and took off the outer cloak inside the room.
"It's already getting cold today. When the north wind blows, I feel like the wind is cutting someone's face like a knife."
In Tian Mi's house, a kang was set on fire early on.Greeting Tong Guiren to sit on the kang, "Come and sit here, I don't know where the emperor and the others have gone right now?"
When Tong Guiren heard this, he tilted his head, not knowing how to react at this time.It's just worrying together...Will my sister be angry?
Tong Guiren felt that he was superfluous, they were husband and wife, so he sent them in to be a child.At this time, if you worry about it together, it will look a bit shameless. In fact, she is not worried. Today, Tong Guiren is carefree. One person is full and the whole family is not hungry. Even if he dies suddenly, except his mother There is nothing to worry about. It is said that his mother just gave birth to a little brother not long ago, and now she puts all her mother's love on the little brother, and doesn't care about herself anymore.So let yourself live happily, anyway, I don't miss the emperor, so why worry about it together.
"Then what... Sister, instead of thinking about the emperor who is thousands of miles away, it is better to think about the things in the palace."
"What happened in the palace?"
"The palace hasn't said who will be the concubine of Jin for a long time. A courtyard as big as the Yonghe Palace next door is empty. There are many people who want to move in, especially the Xianfu Palace. There are many people, and their place is in the corner, and the emperor doesn't come over once a year, and many of them are trying to move out."
Speaking of this, Tong Guiren lowered his voice mysteriously, "I heard that the two concubines who live in Xianfu Palace are about to tear their faces apart. Everyone wants to be promoted to concubine and move to Yonghe Palace."
When Tian Mi heard such rumors, she knew that she was going to work again.
"I'll call some of them over in two days, and tell them that the emperor doesn't mean that now. Even if they squeeze their heads, they won't be able to be concubines."
What's more, the nobleman who has raised seven or eight elder brothers has no hope of promotion now. The people below can't go to the middle, so how can the people in the middle have the opportunity to go to the top.
Tong Guiren shook his head, "Sister, it's best not to worry about this matter, even if you say it, people won't believe it. Anyway, you are on the throne of the imperial concubine, and you don't understand their sadness. Besides, even if you tell the truth , They don’t believe it either, they think that one day they will be able to make it through. It’s better for everyone to clean up their own door, and don’t care about others.”
Different positions, Tian Mi can understand what Tong Guiren said, that is, everyone has their own pursuit, and everyone has their own position.
Tian Mi is not the Holy Mother, and she is unwilling to watch these women in the palace wither away day by day.It's just that although I can make suggestions, it will always be Kangxi who makes the final decision.He didn't agree to confer concubine to others, and there was always a lack of concubine in the palace.What Tian Mi can do is to make their lives as easy as possible, so Tian Mi does not deprive them materially.
The two happily ate a meal of dumplings together, Tian Mi sent Tong Guiren to the door, watched his two people's sedan chair leave before turning back.
But on such a day when Tian Mi thought nothing would happen, a big event happened. An old man who lived in Xianfu Palace died of illness.
The more you go to the New Year Palace, the more you taboo about illness and death, so when this incident happened, Xianfu Palace did not report it immediately, but suppressed it.
But the fire could not be contained in the paper, the news spread quickly, and it was already the second day after the incident reached Tian Mi's ears.
"Is it gone?" Tian Mi felt a little strange, "I know how many times the concubines in the palace have summoned the imperial physicians, and there are not one or two people in Xianfu Palace who take medicine, why are there people who are not on the book? "
Tian Mi has a booklet in her hand, which records who was sick and what medicinal materials were used, but there is no record of illness for this deceased person.
This matter was abnormal from the inside out, Tian Mi immediately called the medical girl to let them do the autopsy.
They also asked the maids and eunuchs of Xianfu Palace to be interrogated separately, and those women of higher ranks were also interrogated separately.Half a day later, Tian Mi got all kinds of testimonies.
Xianfu Palace is located in the northwest corner of the West Sixth Palace. The main hall has only three rooms, half of which are occupied by respected concubines and concubines.From the master to other minor masters, everyone is troubled by the housing problem.Everyone would feel much more relaxed if they could live in the garden.
In this way, those who stayed in the palace felt relaxed, and those who followed to the garden also felt relieved.
This kind of thing is not an exaggeration at all, after all, Xianfu Palace is already so crowded that there is no place to set foot.
It often happens that the person next door says something in his sleep at night that the person on the other side can hear.
There are a large group of masters and slaves, and various contradictions have increased.Everyone has a tacit understanding. Usually no matter how many things happen, the empresses who also live in the Sixth West Palace, such as Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi, don't want to get involved with the affairs of Xianfu Palace. My ears hurt.
And Tian Mi has never been to Xianfu Palace, not to mention the low-ranking concubines in Xianfu Palace, she doesn't even know anyone else.Now that such a thing happened, Tian Mi felt that it must have been caused by these people's fighting spirit, and it was too late at this time, even if she blamed herself or punished the culprit, there was no way to save a life.
Tian Mi's idea here is to solve the conflict as soon as possible, to make amends, and to distribute these low-level concubines to various places, but the maids under her hand feel that this is taking advantage of the empress dowager's absence, and the people in the Xianfu Palace It's a chess piece, it was pushed out by all the empresses to hit Tian Mi's face.
Tian Mi didn't think too much, and sent people directly to Xianfu Palace for interrogation. Unexpectedly, something happened after this questioning.
It may be because of being in a small space for a long time, everyone has become stingy. To put it seriously, it has become narrow-minded. In addition to calculating some petty gains in front of you, you are arguing for some invisible things. snatch
In the past, at most, everyone felt that there was no hope for life, and that one day would be less than two days, but since the death of Concubine De, Concubine Jing and Concubine Duanfei quickly tore apart their former good sisters.
Both of them recruited a group of people and promised them: once they become concubines, they will immediately leave Xianfu Palace and move to Yonghe Palace.
So these two groups of people fought to the death, and the old man who just passed away often died not of illness, but of freezing to death.
At the beginning, this old man had a good temper, as the saying goes, good people are bullied by others.She was originally a servant of Concubine Duan, and the people who respected Concubine first "borrowed" her winter clothes. After she fell ill, Concubine Duan also asked people to find a doctor for her, but there were too many sick people, and the two sides competed. I left her out on purpose.Lingering on the sick bed, there are no courageous slaves, let alone money, and she can't even burn the kang in winter-the charcoal that was allocated was "borrowed" by others, and she ate cold food for a few days crying by herself. When I was at the root, I couldn't stand it anymore, and I fell asleep at night and didn't get up the next day.
After Tian Mi knew the truth, she gritted her teeth.
And this old cause of death has also spread throughout the East and West Zodiac.
After the noble concubine knew about it, she first thought that probably the imperial concubine would insert her hands into various palaces.In my heart, I couldn't help scolding Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing Jing, "Short-sighted slaves don't even think about being promoted in this palace, talking about favors, qualifications, and sons, it's never their turn.
What should be contended for hasn't moved yet, they are the first to fight.Now it's all right, if the imperial concubine let go of this opportunity for nothing, it would be evil. "
The imperial concubine has always regarded the imperial concubine as a confidant and enemy, and at this time she is even more anxious to hide her little tail.She was warned by the emperor last time, and the imperial concubine has not recovered from her senses until now, she did not expect to encounter this incident again.
Just as the imperial concubine hurriedly hid her hands.Concubine Yi was also furious, she patted the table angrily, "These two idiots, if we get into trouble, we will be dragged into the water. How much effort did I take to hold the whole Yikun Palace in my hand, this is good Now, we will leave the door open and wait for the imperial concubine to check."
Her younger sister, Guo Guiren, had an idea, "Sister, haven't you heard of it? He has a plan, and we have a ladder. When the time comes, the water will come and the soil will cover the soldiers. We have been operating here for so many years, how can it be him?" One sentence can take away all kinds of things in our palace."
"Silly sister, you still don't understand. It's not whether he will take away the power in our palace, but it's disgusting to have someone like her staring at us every day, do you understand? It's like we don't care Whatever you do, there is always a person next to you yelling that you can’t do it, and you have to listen.”
When the news reached Concubine Rong, Concubine Rong sighed, "Your injustice." She knew her own abilities quite well, anyway, she couldn't beat others, so why don't you take the initiative to provoke trouble, and ordered: "Everyone knows that Xian Something bad happened in Fu Palace, tighten your skin a little bit, the imperial concubine will never let it go, within a few days, she will definitely fall on someone before the end of the year."
Concubine Hui heard about this, but she didn't take it seriously. She is still thinking about how to get more money for her son.Moreover, Concubine Hui also thinks that she has a better grasp of the affairs in her palace, "I have never bullied them, even the imperial concubine will pass through the palace like a sieve. Zhong Cui is not afraid at all." , after all, there is nothing messy about it."
When she said this, her face didn't blush and her heart didn't beat. There were two rows of nobles sitting below who often agreed.
"You haven't bullied anyone...yes, you haven't bullied anyone, but you have bullied our jewelry box."
Let alone wandering around the West Sixth Palace, Tian Mi didn't even turn around the East Sixth Palace.
When I was young, I grew up in Jingren Palace, but now it is sealed off, and there are no concubines living in it.Yanxi Palace next door to Jingren Palace.Tian Mi has been there a few times, and it was to furnish Tong Guiren's house a few years ago.Zhongcui Palace has also been there, to visit Eighth Prince.The Yonghe Palace next door is the territory of her old enemy Concubine De, Tian Mi has never set foot there.
Now she is sitting in a sedan chair, unfurling the guard of honor, coming out of the Sixth East Palace, passing by the gate of Kunning Gate, and entering the Sixth West Palace.
Pass in front of Concubine Yi's Yikun Palace and head towards the two palaces to the north.To the north is the Chuxiu Palace, to the east is the Chuxiu Palace, and to the west is the Xianfu Palace.Chuxiu Palace is generally empty, even if there are people, there are only some beautiful women living in it.Xianfu Palace is located in the northwest corner, it is too remote, and its area is smaller than other palaces.There are more people living in it than in other palaces.
When Tian Mi came here, she thought about the East and West Twelve Palaces. After removing the Jingyang Palace, Jingren Palace, her own Chengqian Palace, and the Chuxiu Palace that will be used in the draft, there are still eight palaces left. All these people in the palace were broken up and scattered to eight palaces.
But before breaking up, those who are guilty will be convicted, and those who are not guilty will also be beaten.
When she arrived at the gate of Xianfu Palace, all the concubines and concubines had already brought people to kneel and wait at the gate.
Tian Mi's sedan chair was carried in through the gate and directly to the main hall.Tian Mi supported Herring's hand to get off the sedan chair, sat in the middle seat, and beckoned people to come in.
The women in Xianfu Palace had been waiting for a long time, and they couldn't help shivering when they entered the warm room.It's just that the place to kneel has been changed from the icy and snowy yard to the warm room.Here we still have to wait for the results.
There is no such thing as slaves here, and all the women who can enter this room are women on the Kangxi roster.
Tian Mi held the teacup and waited for a while, then said to the leading concubines Duan and Jing, "Everyone is gone, do you have anything to say?"
These two were indeed good sisters in the past, but they have been torn apart recently. They glanced at the people next to each other and couldn't help but start acting.
It seems that every time the women in the palace feel wronged, they can't help crying.The two wiped the corners of their eyes with handkerchiefs at the same time. Tian Mi stared at the two of them and found that they were already old.
These two are also old people in the palace. It's not that they didn't have children before, but sometimes they were pregnant but were not born.Sometimes they were born and died.
In addition, there is no child in Xianfu Palace until now, and these two people often sigh and sigh, so until now, their faces are sad and old.
Concubine Duan first said: "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed due to the negligence of the concubines."
Concubine Jing also said: "The concubine has been copying the blood scriptures recently, and she doesn't know much about the outside world. I didn't expect it to be too late when I found out."
At the same time, the two of them pushed the matter to Chang Zai Xu, the nobleman who was fighting with each other below. Although his face had been torn apart at this time, Tian Mi could see from it that the two of them cooperated seamlessly.Sure enough, they have been working together for a long time before, even if they shirk their responsibilities at this time, they can clean up the blame one after the other.
But the more this happened, the angrier Tian Mi became, and a life was lost.But then again, in this palace, what is human life worth?Even if she knows such a bloody fact, Tian Mi still has to prevent it from happening.
"Neglected? I don't know? What an excuse!" Tian Mi put the cup in her hand aside, "You two sit in the Xianfu Palace. Now that something like this happened, I have to explain to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager , I have to give an explanation to that Chang Zai who just died, and I have to give an explanation to the sisters in Mangong, how do you two plead guilty to appease the public anger?"
After hearing this, Concubine Jing felt that as she expected, this matter cannot be easily shaken off.She had already thought about it before today, what should she do if this matter affects her concubine?
At this time, of course, it is important to get rid of the crime. If you get rid of the crime, you can still be a concubine. If you can't get rid of the crime, you are a sinner.
"Your Majesty, there are many people in the palace. As the saying goes, there are all kinds of people. The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. Some people have evil intentions. It's just that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, but the concubines don't know what they think in their hearts. Minister The concubine is getting old, and she is not as serious about the affairs in this palace as she was in the past few years. The concubine is willing to hand over all the big and small matters in the Xianfu Palace to the concubine Duan, and retreat to the second line to chant scriptures and Buddha all day long. thing."
After hearing this, Concubine Duan only hated herself for not taking the lead?
Since the method of retreating into advance has been used by others, Concubine Duan has other methods.She kowtowed immediately, "Your Majesty, as the head of the Xianfu Palace, this concubine has committed such a thing, and I know that I will be guilty, so please punish me, Your Majesty."
From Concubine Duan's point of view, although a person died, it was not a big deal. For the sake of face, the palace could use various methods to describe the cause of a dead person's death as insignificant.
At present, the most important thing is the attitude of the imperial concubine. Although the method of retreating is easy to use, it is not advisable. Since the imperial concubine has used such a big pomp to come here, the eyes of the whole palace are staring. If there is no If someone cooperates, it is slapping her in the face. Maybe she will suffer a little at this time, but in the future, the imperial concubine will not treat meritorious people badly.
From Concubine Duan's point of view, if she pleaded guilty, she might be reprimanded and her salary confiscated.If it is more serious, they will be placed under house arrest, and they will copy scriptures and pray for blessings.
Is it possible that the empress in the palace is going to be imprisoned?Could it be that he really wanted to kill that short-lived little bitch?
Tian Mi saw the two of them look even more powerless, these two people did not realize the preciousness of life at all.At this time, Tian Mi suddenly felt that it had nothing to do with their living environment, and that it had nothing to do with their living environment. This was the education instilled in them since childhood, so that they were particularly contemptuous of human life.
Tian Mi didn't want to rearrange their accommodation for a moment.
"Since that's the case, if one of you is willing to retreat to the second line and the other is willing to admit punishment, then..." Before Tian Mi finished speaking, a young woman who was kneeling below immediately crawled out, "Your Majesty, we have something to say."
Tian Mi waved her hand so that the maid next to her would not have to scold her for interrupting her speech, "Speak, what do you want to say?"
"Whether it's the Duan Concubine or the Jing Concubine, they have been taking care of the sisters for so many years. The reason why this happened is because a few people have too much thought. They have dragged the entire Xianfu Palace into the water," said this After the young woman finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at the women kneeling beside her, she was filled with righteous indignation, "Ma'am, they are the ones who took away sister Qiao's things. At that time, the sisters said that what they did was unethical, but this A few people are not moved at all, but worsened, the culprit is here, please punish them."
After Tian Mi listened to it, she said, "Really? The others have also heard about it. Now that someone has identified you, do you have anything to say about the identification?"
These women lay on the ground trembling, although Duan Concubine knelt and lowered her head, the corners of her mouth were already raised.
Tian Mi looked at their bodies shaking like sifting chaff, and asked the woman who interrupted her just now, "I heard you call sister Qiao very affectionately, so let me ask you. When your sister Qiao was bullied by them , have you ever stepped forward? When your sister Qiao can’t eat hot food or use carbon, have you ever reached out to help?”
"This……"
"To tell the truth, telling lies is bad behavior after all."
"Never."
"why?"
"Because...because...because if the things are distributed to Sister Qiao, the concubine will not be able to survive this winter."
Tian Mi nodded, "It's love if you split up, and duty if you don't. Is that what you mean?"
The woman nodded quickly.
Tian Mi looked at the armor she was wearing, "After hearing so much from you, I have already understood the meaning. All of this is because Mrs. Qiao is too weak. If she is stronger, how can this happen? Things? Do you think this is the truth? "
No one below dared to respond, and no one dared to move.
Tian Mi asked another question, "Just now this person said that he gave out his own things to others, and he didn't have enough for himself. These culprits are borrowing other people's things for use, which means their own things It’s not enough. The things that the Ministry of Internal Affairs gives you are rich. Although there is a fixed amount of carbon that a lady should burn every day, considering the size of the house, some people have a few servants around, which is even more attractive to women. It is not easy to dry some small clothes in winter, and they have to be dried by the charcoal basin, so everyone gets more carbon than the Ministry of Internal Affairs stipulates. Why are there enough for other palaces? You guys The people in Xianfu Palace are not enough? Don’t you all divide by head?”
Tian Mi looked at Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing in front of her, "Don't you guys know the details of distributing winter clothes and charcoal like this?"
The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent the things according to the head, and the division was assigned to the heads of the palaces. Tian Mi of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had interrogated them, and there was no embezzlement, as evidenced by the handover of supplies several times.It can only be said that the embezzlement happened inside Xianfu Palace at this time.
It seems that there is no escape today, and the two people reacted differently.Concubine Jing shook her head, Concubine Duan nodded.
Concubine Jing said that everything was done by the court ladies and eunuchs, and she was completely unaware of it, and concubine Duan was willing to plead guilty.
Involuntarily, Tian Mi asked people to drag the two of their maids and eunuchs out to beat the board in the ice and snow, and then threw them directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so that the Ministry of Internal Affairs could re-educate them and distribute them to other places.If they were really ordered to come out from the House of Internal Affairs, they wouldn't have any good jobs to do, usually the dirtiest, most tiring, and hardest jobs.
Tian Mi was impatient, so she could find any excuse here to make these people speechless.Cotton clothes and charcoal clothes are one thing, and letting the women in the palace fight here is another.
Tian Mi thinks that there are very nourishing and unrestrained women here, but few of them are good things.
So I took out the roster and saw those who were honest and didn't take the initiative to cause trouble according to the investigation. After they were broken up, they were divided into the palaces of the noble concubine and the third concubine.
For those women who took the lead in bullying others, Tian Mi took away all the court ladies and eunuchs around them, and let them take care of themselves here, simply fending for themselves.
"There is no need for others to serve the meal and tea. After all, you have a life on your back now, and you must always be responsible for your actions. Let's clean up and make atonement here."
Like the woman who was in the limelight just now, these people are equally abhorrent in Tian Mi's eyes because they stand on the sidelines!Take away all the servants around them.
Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing kept her confidant maid who had just been beaten by her side, and the others did not leave a slave by her side.
"It's quite cold this winter. You take turns to burn charcoal at night and find a way to get some hot water. The imperial dining room will deliver the food to your door, but it may be cold when you eat it, but it doesn't matter, there is more carbon. You can heat it up again. After suffering and suffering, maybe you will be in front of Lord Yama in the future, and your sins will be less."
After Tian Mi left the Xianfu Palace, she looked at the open gate, and then asked someone to close the gate.
Tian Mi flaunted the sedan chair she was sitting in again, and returned to Chengqian Palace.
When Concubine Hui received the news, she was playing cards with a group of her men, and there were a lot of gold and silver jewelry on the card table.Hearing that the imperial concubine had closed the gate of Xianfu Palace, she couldn't help blurting out, "Isn't this treating Xianfu Palace as a cold palace? There are all guilty concubines in it... What a skill, this is our big The Qing Dynasty is the only one.”
After all, from the first emperor's entry to the present, there is no cold palace in the palace. The Jingyang Palace with books is the cold palace of the former Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly, Xianfu Palace is also a cold palace now.
Concubine Yi nestled on the kang, "What's this called? There is no tiger in the mountains and monkeys call themselves kings. I thought those thorns in the Xianfu Palace could jump up and make the imperial concubine furious. I will also plan it." Well, if she mixed mud in Xianfu Palace, everyone would benefit from it in the future. Unexpectedly, she directly drove out those timid and sick people who looked timid and sick, and assigned them to different places. Those who liked The troublemakers are locked together, what is this called? This is called raising Gu!"
Guo Guiren shook his head, "This is not raising Gu, those women have no hope of turning over, if there is a chance to turn over, then this is raising Gu."
Concubine Rong waved her hands after hearing this. In her opinion, this matter is over and has nothing to do with her.
The noble concubine thought to herself: Mrs. Tong is poisoned, I have to think of a way sooner.
Tian Mi went back to the palace and drank a cup of warm water. She nestled on the kang and couldn't help asking Herring next to her: "I don't know if I do this, right?"
"What's wrong? Knock the mountain to shake the tiger, if you don't handle it hard enough this time, the ladies will always find something for you later."
Tian Mi turned over and lay down, "Don't call me, let me lie down for a while." Tian Mi didn't know what she was thinking at this moment.
But no matter what, Tian Mi wants to write this matter into a letter and send it to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
Tian Mi regained her spirits and wrote two letters, one to the Empress Dowager to restore all the incidents, and then wrote down her own handling method, and asked the Empress Dowager to give some pointers.
The letter to Kangxi was a bit more written, and Tian Mi analyzed her own psychology.I focused on writing about my own contradictory mentality, feeling both pitiful and hateful for them.
Finally, he told Kangxi that he felt that their hateful emotions had the upper hand.
Tian Mi is not sure what the consequences of writing like this will bring, but Tian Mi feels that she believes in Kangxi. "He shouldn't think I'm a vicious woman, right?" Tian Mi felt that she trusted him so much, and she didn't know whether it was the right thing to trust the emperor.On the one hand, it feels quite right, on the other hand, it feels irrational.
The distressed Tian Mi sent the letter.
But Shengjia had just arrived in Shengjing, and Shengjing, as the accompanying capital, set up Fengtian Mansion.
The eunuchs in the palace are not allowed to read and write, but the maids in the palace do. As the female official in front of Tian Mi, Herring is also of high rank in the palace, so she can write beautiful calligraphy.
"I dictate, you write." After Kangxi finished speaking, he squinted his eyes and looked at the candle in front of him, "I bow to the emperor..."
Herring's eyelids twitched, and she quickly raised her head to look at Tian Mi, who nodded her head.Herring wrote it down on the paper neatly.
This letter started as a greeting between father and son, and then it talked about the changes in the family this year. There were children in the family, but some children died young.More words describe that the old grandmother is in poor health, often forgets things in a daze, and clamors to return to Shengjing.So I decided that my brothers and I would stay with the old grandmother for a period of time this winter. In the last paragraph, I wrote about my son's concern for the emperor and told me to take good care of my health.
"...Respect Jun'an, I don't have much to say. My son, knock on me."
Herring held several written letters and handed them to Kangxi.Kangxi took it over and read it, then turned around and told Tian Mi, "Prepare some things and give them to King Jian. These things must have the marks of the Grand Councilor or the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Tian Mi thought of the rumors she heard during the day, "It's better to prepare some soft and durable fabrics, and let people make hundreds of monk clothes and shoes and socks, and send some of the tribute tea leaves intact. Is there anything else to give?"
"I bring a little bit of polished rice and dried rice from the tribute, and some ginseng, antler, angelica and ganoderma, plus a small box of silver melon seeds, and some Buddhist scriptures will be printed and sent along with it." Stack the papers and put them in the envelope, "This is the most important, send this along with me when the time comes."
After waiting for a while, Tian Mi asked, "Is it useful?"
"Yes, with this letter, either this year or next year, there must be someone ambushing near Wutai Mountain, and they will be wiped out by then."
Tian Mi nodded to show that she understands that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send things from this year to next year, and maybe it will be picked up in the next few years.
After finishing, he sighed in his heart, "I'm afraid that his news will spread into the palace and let the ancestors know."
Kangxi handed the letter to Li Dequan and asked him to keep it, and said casually, "You underestimate the old ancestor too much. Why hasn't the old ancestor seen the wind and rain? And it's not true. Although I was young back then, I was Those assistant ministers helped him ascend the throne in front of the coffin. I have seen Huang Ama's remains many times." To put it bluntly, how can he not know whether his own father is dead or not?
Tian Mi asked Eunuch Chen to handle this matter personally. Now that it is late autumn and it is already cold in the north, on Tian Mi's birthday, a group of people quietly went out in the capital.This group of people is different from ordinary merchant teams, they are all young people, and the leader is a middle-aged man with white face and beardless.This middle-aged man is a bitch, holding his throat when talking, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a eunuch.
Along the way, this group of people took their time, pretending to be ostentatious and not ostentatious. Some people will come to them, and this letter will naturally fall into the hands of others.
These things are beyond Tian Mi's consideration, Tian Mi spent another birthday in the garden.
The treasure presented by Prince Jian's Mansion is a set of glass cups. This glass is not very pure, it does not look transparent, and it is a little green.
Such things are rare treasures in the eyes of these ladies.Jian Wangfujin was triumphant, "Our housekeeper brought this from Guangzhou."
How much money is spent is secondary, the most important thing is face.Fujin from each palace secretly wrote down the news. Tian Mi wanted to say that this thing is not worth much, that is, rare things are expensive, but seeing the green eyes of these ladies in front of her, she felt that she should not say these words up.
Eating, drinking, and watching a big show, the young and old of Aixinjueluo's family were outside, the women were in the garden, Tian Mi set up dozens of tables for this birthday banquet, and only sent people away when it was getting dark .
Because of drinking a few glasses of wine and the weather was cold, Tian Mi turned out her cotton clothes and put them on, yawned and watched Si elder brother kowtow to her birthday.
"All right, all right, son, it's enough to have this intention."
The fourth elder brother is very happy. He doesn't have to go to class today, and he can spend a day with his mother.As the prince's elder brother said, he is blessed, and he hopes in his heart that he will be able to congratulate Er Niang when he is seventy or eighty, so that his blessing will last forever.
Tian Mi took his hand, "In a few days, you will go to Shengjing with your Huang Ama. Er Niang is not in good health, so she can't go with you. Everything you eat and use on the way will be packed for you. You must say what you don’t want, and don’t wrong yourself. It’s cold over there, if you feel that the clothes are thin, tell me quickly, let the servants make it for you, don’t freeze yourself.”
Tian Mi babbled about her instructions, and finally put her son back when it was late at night.
After her son left, Tian Mi couldn't help wanting to rest early and let the maid remove the jewelry from her head.
"With more than a catty of gold on my forehead, my scalp always feels numb."
Herring quickly took a comb, and slowly combed Tian Mi's hair. At this moment, Tian Mi couldn't help but think of the airbag massage comb she bought in her previous life.
Just when I was about to tell Herring to stop combing, I heard Herring say slowly, "I always feel that the imperial concubine is a bit different today. She just sat there coldly and didn't chat with other people. If there is When the other Fujins asked, they said they were thinking about Elder Brother Ten."
After saying this, Tian Mi realized that all the daughters-in-law of Aixinjueluo's family who came here today, and the wives outside the palace only gave gifts, and none of them came into the garden.The imperial concubine's attitude is indeed a bit abnormal.
"Did Elder Brother Ten never come out to play? Elder Brother Nine and Elder Eight often come out, Elder Ten..."
Tian Mi wanted to ask if this little guy was feeling sick or sick, but Herring shook his head, "I heard that Elder Brother Shi is fat and fat, and the imperial concubine regards him as an eyeball. No matter where you go I see it in my own eyes. Well, I don’t move around very often, and I have a good relationship with the eighth and ninth elder brothers. The ladies all live together, and the brothers all play together.”
Tian Mi thought for a while, but couldn't figure out what was unusual about the imperial concubine, except that she didn't like talking and interacting with people, there was nothing worthy of others' attention.
At most, they have a bit of persecution paranoia, and always feel that someone is looking for trouble for their mother and son.
Not two days after Tian Mi's birthday, Kangxi asked all the concubines in the harem to return to the palace, because he was about to accompany the empress dowager back to Shengjing, and he was worried that all the concubines would live outside.
Tian Mi has a lot of things to do. The elder brother is going to get married after the new year, and there are many things to prepare for. Although Concubine Hui is very busy, she still wants to make money from her son's marriage.Even though the emperor and the empress dowager are not there, the palace still celebrates the New Year. This year, the officials don't have to come to worship, but the wives still have to enter the palace.
Tian Mi became the number one person in the Forbidden City, besides managing affairs, she also had to support this shelf.
Not long after returning to the palace, Tian Mi put all her thoughts outside, until finally the winter solstice came, and according to the northern customs, dumplings were to be eaten on this day.
Tian Mi ordered to go down and prepare enough dumplings for each palace, and sent someone to invite Tong Guiren to eat together.
Tong Guiren came very quickly. Before the winter solstice, the temperature had dropped to freezing. When she came in, she carefully went up the steps with the maid's hand, and took off the outer cloak inside the room.
"It's already getting cold today. When the north wind blows, I feel like the wind is cutting someone's face like a knife."
In Tian Mi's house, a kang was set on fire early on.Greeting Tong Guiren to sit on the kang, "Come and sit here, I don't know where the emperor and the others have gone right now?"
When Tong Guiren heard this, he tilted his head, not knowing how to react at this time.It's just worrying together...Will my sister be angry?
Tong Guiren felt that he was superfluous, they were husband and wife, so he sent them in to be a child.At this time, if you worry about it together, it will look a bit shameless. In fact, she is not worried. Today, Tong Guiren is carefree. One person is full and the whole family is not hungry. Even if he dies suddenly, except his mother There is nothing to worry about. It is said that his mother just gave birth to a little brother not long ago, and now she puts all her mother's love on the little brother, and doesn't care about herself anymore.So let yourself live happily, anyway, I don't miss the emperor, so why worry about it together.
"Then what... Sister, instead of thinking about the emperor who is thousands of miles away, it is better to think about the things in the palace."
"What happened in the palace?"
"The palace hasn't said who will be the concubine of Jin for a long time. A courtyard as big as the Yonghe Palace next door is empty. There are many people who want to move in, especially the Xianfu Palace. There are many people, and their place is in the corner, and the emperor doesn't come over once a year, and many of them are trying to move out."
Speaking of this, Tong Guiren lowered his voice mysteriously, "I heard that the two concubines who live in Xianfu Palace are about to tear their faces apart. Everyone wants to be promoted to concubine and move to Yonghe Palace."
When Tian Mi heard such rumors, she knew that she was going to work again.
"I'll call some of them over in two days, and tell them that the emperor doesn't mean that now. Even if they squeeze their heads, they won't be able to be concubines."
What's more, the nobleman who has raised seven or eight elder brothers has no hope of promotion now. The people below can't go to the middle, so how can the people in the middle have the opportunity to go to the top.
Tong Guiren shook his head, "Sister, it's best not to worry about this matter, even if you say it, people won't believe it. Anyway, you are on the throne of the imperial concubine, and you don't understand their sadness. Besides, even if you tell the truth , They don’t believe it either, they think that one day they will be able to make it through. It’s better for everyone to clean up their own door, and don’t care about others.”
Different positions, Tian Mi can understand what Tong Guiren said, that is, everyone has their own pursuit, and everyone has their own position.
Tian Mi is not the Holy Mother, and she is unwilling to watch these women in the palace wither away day by day.It's just that although I can make suggestions, it will always be Kangxi who makes the final decision.He didn't agree to confer concubine to others, and there was always a lack of concubine in the palace.What Tian Mi can do is to make their lives as easy as possible, so Tian Mi does not deprive them materially.
The two happily ate a meal of dumplings together, Tian Mi sent Tong Guiren to the door, watched his two people's sedan chair leave before turning back.
But on such a day when Tian Mi thought nothing would happen, a big event happened. An old man who lived in Xianfu Palace died of illness.
The more you go to the New Year Palace, the more you taboo about illness and death, so when this incident happened, Xianfu Palace did not report it immediately, but suppressed it.
But the fire could not be contained in the paper, the news spread quickly, and it was already the second day after the incident reached Tian Mi's ears.
"Is it gone?" Tian Mi felt a little strange, "I know how many times the concubines in the palace have summoned the imperial physicians, and there are not one or two people in Xianfu Palace who take medicine, why are there people who are not on the book? "
Tian Mi has a booklet in her hand, which records who was sick and what medicinal materials were used, but there is no record of illness for this deceased person.
This matter was abnormal from the inside out, Tian Mi immediately called the medical girl to let them do the autopsy.
They also asked the maids and eunuchs of Xianfu Palace to be interrogated separately, and those women of higher ranks were also interrogated separately.Half a day later, Tian Mi got all kinds of testimonies.
Xianfu Palace is located in the northwest corner of the West Sixth Palace. The main hall has only three rooms, half of which are occupied by respected concubines and concubines.From the master to other minor masters, everyone is troubled by the housing problem.Everyone would feel much more relaxed if they could live in the garden.
In this way, those who stayed in the palace felt relaxed, and those who followed to the garden also felt relieved.
This kind of thing is not an exaggeration at all, after all, Xianfu Palace is already so crowded that there is no place to set foot.
It often happens that the person next door says something in his sleep at night that the person on the other side can hear.
There are a large group of masters and slaves, and various contradictions have increased.Everyone has a tacit understanding. Usually no matter how many things happen, the empresses who also live in the Sixth West Palace, such as Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi, don't want to get involved with the affairs of Xianfu Palace. My ears hurt.
And Tian Mi has never been to Xianfu Palace, not to mention the low-ranking concubines in Xianfu Palace, she doesn't even know anyone else.Now that such a thing happened, Tian Mi felt that it must have been caused by these people's fighting spirit, and it was too late at this time, even if she blamed herself or punished the culprit, there was no way to save a life.
Tian Mi's idea here is to solve the conflict as soon as possible, to make amends, and to distribute these low-level concubines to various places, but the maids under her hand feel that this is taking advantage of the empress dowager's absence, and the people in the Xianfu Palace It's a chess piece, it was pushed out by all the empresses to hit Tian Mi's face.
Tian Mi didn't think too much, and sent people directly to Xianfu Palace for interrogation. Unexpectedly, something happened after this questioning.
It may be because of being in a small space for a long time, everyone has become stingy. To put it seriously, it has become narrow-minded. In addition to calculating some petty gains in front of you, you are arguing for some invisible things. snatch
In the past, at most, everyone felt that there was no hope for life, and that one day would be less than two days, but since the death of Concubine De, Concubine Jing and Concubine Duanfei quickly tore apart their former good sisters.
Both of them recruited a group of people and promised them: once they become concubines, they will immediately leave Xianfu Palace and move to Yonghe Palace.
So these two groups of people fought to the death, and the old man who just passed away often died not of illness, but of freezing to death.
At the beginning, this old man had a good temper, as the saying goes, good people are bullied by others.She was originally a servant of Concubine Duan, and the people who respected Concubine first "borrowed" her winter clothes. After she fell ill, Concubine Duan also asked people to find a doctor for her, but there were too many sick people, and the two sides competed. I left her out on purpose.Lingering on the sick bed, there are no courageous slaves, let alone money, and she can't even burn the kang in winter-the charcoal that was allocated was "borrowed" by others, and she ate cold food for a few days crying by herself. When I was at the root, I couldn't stand it anymore, and I fell asleep at night and didn't get up the next day.
After Tian Mi knew the truth, she gritted her teeth.
And this old cause of death has also spread throughout the East and West Zodiac.
After the noble concubine knew about it, she first thought that probably the imperial concubine would insert her hands into various palaces.In my heart, I couldn't help scolding Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing Jing, "Short-sighted slaves don't even think about being promoted in this palace, talking about favors, qualifications, and sons, it's never their turn.
What should be contended for hasn't moved yet, they are the first to fight.Now it's all right, if the imperial concubine let go of this opportunity for nothing, it would be evil. "
The imperial concubine has always regarded the imperial concubine as a confidant and enemy, and at this time she is even more anxious to hide her little tail.She was warned by the emperor last time, and the imperial concubine has not recovered from her senses until now, she did not expect to encounter this incident again.
Just as the imperial concubine hurriedly hid her hands.Concubine Yi was also furious, she patted the table angrily, "These two idiots, if we get into trouble, we will be dragged into the water. How much effort did I take to hold the whole Yikun Palace in my hand, this is good Now, we will leave the door open and wait for the imperial concubine to check."
Her younger sister, Guo Guiren, had an idea, "Sister, haven't you heard of it? He has a plan, and we have a ladder. When the time comes, the water will come and the soil will cover the soldiers. We have been operating here for so many years, how can it be him?" One sentence can take away all kinds of things in our palace."
"Silly sister, you still don't understand. It's not whether he will take away the power in our palace, but it's disgusting to have someone like her staring at us every day, do you understand? It's like we don't care Whatever you do, there is always a person next to you yelling that you can’t do it, and you have to listen.”
When the news reached Concubine Rong, Concubine Rong sighed, "Your injustice." She knew her own abilities quite well, anyway, she couldn't beat others, so why don't you take the initiative to provoke trouble, and ordered: "Everyone knows that Xian Something bad happened in Fu Palace, tighten your skin a little bit, the imperial concubine will never let it go, within a few days, she will definitely fall on someone before the end of the year."
Concubine Hui heard about this, but she didn't take it seriously. She is still thinking about how to get more money for her son.Moreover, Concubine Hui also thinks that she has a better grasp of the affairs in her palace, "I have never bullied them, even the imperial concubine will pass through the palace like a sieve. Zhong Cui is not afraid at all." , after all, there is nothing messy about it."
When she said this, her face didn't blush and her heart didn't beat. There were two rows of nobles sitting below who often agreed.
"You haven't bullied anyone...yes, you haven't bullied anyone, but you have bullied our jewelry box."
Let alone wandering around the West Sixth Palace, Tian Mi didn't even turn around the East Sixth Palace.
When I was young, I grew up in Jingren Palace, but now it is sealed off, and there are no concubines living in it.Yanxi Palace next door to Jingren Palace.Tian Mi has been there a few times, and it was to furnish Tong Guiren's house a few years ago.Zhongcui Palace has also been there, to visit Eighth Prince.The Yonghe Palace next door is the territory of her old enemy Concubine De, Tian Mi has never set foot there.
Now she is sitting in a sedan chair, unfurling the guard of honor, coming out of the Sixth East Palace, passing by the gate of Kunning Gate, and entering the Sixth West Palace.
Pass in front of Concubine Yi's Yikun Palace and head towards the two palaces to the north.To the north is the Chuxiu Palace, to the east is the Chuxiu Palace, and to the west is the Xianfu Palace.Chuxiu Palace is generally empty, even if there are people, there are only some beautiful women living in it.Xianfu Palace is located in the northwest corner, it is too remote, and its area is smaller than other palaces.There are more people living in it than in other palaces.
When Tian Mi came here, she thought about the East and West Twelve Palaces. After removing the Jingyang Palace, Jingren Palace, her own Chengqian Palace, and the Chuxiu Palace that will be used in the draft, there are still eight palaces left. All these people in the palace were broken up and scattered to eight palaces.
But before breaking up, those who are guilty will be convicted, and those who are not guilty will also be beaten.
When she arrived at the gate of Xianfu Palace, all the concubines and concubines had already brought people to kneel and wait at the gate.
Tian Mi's sedan chair was carried in through the gate and directly to the main hall.Tian Mi supported Herring's hand to get off the sedan chair, sat in the middle seat, and beckoned people to come in.
The women in Xianfu Palace had been waiting for a long time, and they couldn't help shivering when they entered the warm room.It's just that the place to kneel has been changed from the icy and snowy yard to the warm room.Here we still have to wait for the results.
There is no such thing as slaves here, and all the women who can enter this room are women on the Kangxi roster.
Tian Mi held the teacup and waited for a while, then said to the leading concubines Duan and Jing, "Everyone is gone, do you have anything to say?"
These two were indeed good sisters in the past, but they have been torn apart recently. They glanced at the people next to each other and couldn't help but start acting.
It seems that every time the women in the palace feel wronged, they can't help crying.The two wiped the corners of their eyes with handkerchiefs at the same time. Tian Mi stared at the two of them and found that they were already old.
These two are also old people in the palace. It's not that they didn't have children before, but sometimes they were pregnant but were not born.Sometimes they were born and died.
In addition, there is no child in Xianfu Palace until now, and these two people often sigh and sigh, so until now, their faces are sad and old.
Concubine Duan first said: "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed due to the negligence of the concubines."
Concubine Jing also said: "The concubine has been copying the blood scriptures recently, and she doesn't know much about the outside world. I didn't expect it to be too late when I found out."
At the same time, the two of them pushed the matter to Chang Zai Xu, the nobleman who was fighting with each other below. Although his face had been torn apart at this time, Tian Mi could see from it that the two of them cooperated seamlessly.Sure enough, they have been working together for a long time before, even if they shirk their responsibilities at this time, they can clean up the blame one after the other.
But the more this happened, the angrier Tian Mi became, and a life was lost.But then again, in this palace, what is human life worth?Even if she knows such a bloody fact, Tian Mi still has to prevent it from happening.
"Neglected? I don't know? What an excuse!" Tian Mi put the cup in her hand aside, "You two sit in the Xianfu Palace. Now that something like this happened, I have to explain to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager , I have to give an explanation to that Chang Zai who just died, and I have to give an explanation to the sisters in Mangong, how do you two plead guilty to appease the public anger?"
After hearing this, Concubine Jing felt that as she expected, this matter cannot be easily shaken off.She had already thought about it before today, what should she do if this matter affects her concubine?
At this time, of course, it is important to get rid of the crime. If you get rid of the crime, you can still be a concubine. If you can't get rid of the crime, you are a sinner.
"Your Majesty, there are many people in the palace. As the saying goes, there are all kinds of people. The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. Some people have evil intentions. It's just that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, but the concubines don't know what they think in their hearts. Minister The concubine is getting old, and she is not as serious about the affairs in this palace as she was in the past few years. The concubine is willing to hand over all the big and small matters in the Xianfu Palace to the concubine Duan, and retreat to the second line to chant scriptures and Buddha all day long. thing."
After hearing this, Concubine Duan only hated herself for not taking the lead?
Since the method of retreating into advance has been used by others, Concubine Duan has other methods.She kowtowed immediately, "Your Majesty, as the head of the Xianfu Palace, this concubine has committed such a thing, and I know that I will be guilty, so please punish me, Your Majesty."
From Concubine Duan's point of view, although a person died, it was not a big deal. For the sake of face, the palace could use various methods to describe the cause of a dead person's death as insignificant.
At present, the most important thing is the attitude of the imperial concubine. Although the method of retreating is easy to use, it is not advisable. Since the imperial concubine has used such a big pomp to come here, the eyes of the whole palace are staring. If there is no If someone cooperates, it is slapping her in the face. Maybe she will suffer a little at this time, but in the future, the imperial concubine will not treat meritorious people badly.
From Concubine Duan's point of view, if she pleaded guilty, she might be reprimanded and her salary confiscated.If it is more serious, they will be placed under house arrest, and they will copy scriptures and pray for blessings.
Is it possible that the empress in the palace is going to be imprisoned?Could it be that he really wanted to kill that short-lived little bitch?
Tian Mi saw the two of them look even more powerless, these two people did not realize the preciousness of life at all.At this time, Tian Mi suddenly felt that it had nothing to do with their living environment, and that it had nothing to do with their living environment. This was the education instilled in them since childhood, so that they were particularly contemptuous of human life.
Tian Mi didn't want to rearrange their accommodation for a moment.
"Since that's the case, if one of you is willing to retreat to the second line and the other is willing to admit punishment, then..." Before Tian Mi finished speaking, a young woman who was kneeling below immediately crawled out, "Your Majesty, we have something to say."
Tian Mi waved her hand so that the maid next to her would not have to scold her for interrupting her speech, "Speak, what do you want to say?"
"Whether it's the Duan Concubine or the Jing Concubine, they have been taking care of the sisters for so many years. The reason why this happened is because a few people have too much thought. They have dragged the entire Xianfu Palace into the water," said this After the young woman finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at the women kneeling beside her, she was filled with righteous indignation, "Ma'am, they are the ones who took away sister Qiao's things. At that time, the sisters said that what they did was unethical, but this A few people are not moved at all, but worsened, the culprit is here, please punish them."
After Tian Mi listened to it, she said, "Really? The others have also heard about it. Now that someone has identified you, do you have anything to say about the identification?"
These women lay on the ground trembling, although Duan Concubine knelt and lowered her head, the corners of her mouth were already raised.
Tian Mi looked at their bodies shaking like sifting chaff, and asked the woman who interrupted her just now, "I heard you call sister Qiao very affectionately, so let me ask you. When your sister Qiao was bullied by them , have you ever stepped forward? When your sister Qiao can’t eat hot food or use carbon, have you ever reached out to help?”
"This……"
"To tell the truth, telling lies is bad behavior after all."
"Never."
"why?"
"Because...because...because if the things are distributed to Sister Qiao, the concubine will not be able to survive this winter."
Tian Mi nodded, "It's love if you split up, and duty if you don't. Is that what you mean?"
The woman nodded quickly.
Tian Mi looked at the armor she was wearing, "After hearing so much from you, I have already understood the meaning. All of this is because Mrs. Qiao is too weak. If she is stronger, how can this happen? Things? Do you think this is the truth? "
No one below dared to respond, and no one dared to move.
Tian Mi asked another question, "Just now this person said that he gave out his own things to others, and he didn't have enough for himself. These culprits are borrowing other people's things for use, which means their own things It’s not enough. The things that the Ministry of Internal Affairs gives you are rich. Although there is a fixed amount of carbon that a lady should burn every day, considering the size of the house, some people have a few servants around, which is even more attractive to women. It is not easy to dry some small clothes in winter, and they have to be dried by the charcoal basin, so everyone gets more carbon than the Ministry of Internal Affairs stipulates. Why are there enough for other palaces? You guys The people in Xianfu Palace are not enough? Don’t you all divide by head?”
Tian Mi looked at Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing in front of her, "Don't you guys know the details of distributing winter clothes and charcoal like this?"
The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent the things according to the head, and the division was assigned to the heads of the palaces. Tian Mi of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had interrogated them, and there was no embezzlement, as evidenced by the handover of supplies several times.It can only be said that the embezzlement happened inside Xianfu Palace at this time.
It seems that there is no escape today, and the two people reacted differently.Concubine Jing shook her head, Concubine Duan nodded.
Concubine Jing said that everything was done by the court ladies and eunuchs, and she was completely unaware of it, and concubine Duan was willing to plead guilty.
Involuntarily, Tian Mi asked people to drag the two of their maids and eunuchs out to beat the board in the ice and snow, and then threw them directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so that the Ministry of Internal Affairs could re-educate them and distribute them to other places.If they were really ordered to come out from the House of Internal Affairs, they wouldn't have any good jobs to do, usually the dirtiest, most tiring, and hardest jobs.
Tian Mi was impatient, so she could find any excuse here to make these people speechless.Cotton clothes and charcoal clothes are one thing, and letting the women in the palace fight here is another.
Tian Mi thinks that there are very nourishing and unrestrained women here, but few of them are good things.
So I took out the roster and saw those who were honest and didn't take the initiative to cause trouble according to the investigation. After they were broken up, they were divided into the palaces of the noble concubine and the third concubine.
For those women who took the lead in bullying others, Tian Mi took away all the court ladies and eunuchs around them, and let them take care of themselves here, simply fending for themselves.
"There is no need for others to serve the meal and tea. After all, you have a life on your back now, and you must always be responsible for your actions. Let's clean up and make atonement here."
Like the woman who was in the limelight just now, these people are equally abhorrent in Tian Mi's eyes because they stand on the sidelines!Take away all the servants around them.
Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing kept her confidant maid who had just been beaten by her side, and the others did not leave a slave by her side.
"It's quite cold this winter. You take turns to burn charcoal at night and find a way to get some hot water. The imperial dining room will deliver the food to your door, but it may be cold when you eat it, but it doesn't matter, there is more carbon. You can heat it up again. After suffering and suffering, maybe you will be in front of Lord Yama in the future, and your sins will be less."
After Tian Mi left the Xianfu Palace, she looked at the open gate, and then asked someone to close the gate.
Tian Mi flaunted the sedan chair she was sitting in again, and returned to Chengqian Palace.
When Concubine Hui received the news, she was playing cards with a group of her men, and there were a lot of gold and silver jewelry on the card table.Hearing that the imperial concubine had closed the gate of Xianfu Palace, she couldn't help blurting out, "Isn't this treating Xianfu Palace as a cold palace? There are all guilty concubines in it... What a skill, this is our big The Qing Dynasty is the only one.”
After all, from the first emperor's entry to the present, there is no cold palace in the palace. The Jingyang Palace with books is the cold palace of the former Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly, Xianfu Palace is also a cold palace now.
Concubine Yi nestled on the kang, "What's this called? There is no tiger in the mountains and monkeys call themselves kings. I thought those thorns in the Xianfu Palace could jump up and make the imperial concubine furious. I will also plan it." Well, if she mixed mud in Xianfu Palace, everyone would benefit from it in the future. Unexpectedly, she directly drove out those timid and sick people who looked timid and sick, and assigned them to different places. Those who liked The troublemakers are locked together, what is this called? This is called raising Gu!"
Guo Guiren shook his head, "This is not raising Gu, those women have no hope of turning over, if there is a chance to turn over, then this is raising Gu."
Concubine Rong waved her hands after hearing this. In her opinion, this matter is over and has nothing to do with her.
The noble concubine thought to herself: Mrs. Tong is poisoned, I have to think of a way sooner.
Tian Mi went back to the palace and drank a cup of warm water. She nestled on the kang and couldn't help asking Herring next to her: "I don't know if I do this, right?"
"What's wrong? Knock the mountain to shake the tiger, if you don't handle it hard enough this time, the ladies will always find something for you later."
Tian Mi turned over and lay down, "Don't call me, let me lie down for a while." Tian Mi didn't know what she was thinking at this moment.
But no matter what, Tian Mi wants to write this matter into a letter and send it to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
Tian Mi regained her spirits and wrote two letters, one to the Empress Dowager to restore all the incidents, and then wrote down her own handling method, and asked the Empress Dowager to give some pointers.
The letter to Kangxi was a bit more written, and Tian Mi analyzed her own psychology.I focused on writing about my own contradictory mentality, feeling both pitiful and hateful for them.
Finally, he told Kangxi that he felt that their hateful emotions had the upper hand.
Tian Mi is not sure what the consequences of writing like this will bring, but Tian Mi feels that she believes in Kangxi. "He shouldn't think I'm a vicious woman, right?" Tian Mi felt that she trusted him so much, and she didn't know whether it was the right thing to trust the emperor.On the one hand, it feels quite right, on the other hand, it feels irrational.
The distressed Tian Mi sent the letter.
But Shengjia had just arrived in Shengjing, and Shengjing, as the accompanying capital, set up Fengtian Mansion.
