Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

In the joyous atmosphere, the New Year is here again, year after year, year after year makes people grow old!

Kangxi was promoted to be a grandfather in this year, and Tian Mi theoretically also became a grandmother, and the younger generation below will be born continuously. In Kangxi's view, this is a sign of the prosperity of the family.

So he was drunk at the New Year's Eve banquet and dragged Tian Mi to make a decision, that is, after he fought for Junggar, he would take Tian Mi to Jiangnan together.It has been several years since I have been to Jiangnan. Jiangnan must be a different scene. When I go there, I can feel the prosperity of Jiangnan.

"It's boring to stay in the palace all the time. It's easy to sit in the well and watch the sky. Go outside and have a look. If you look at the vastness of the world, you can know the insignificance of manpower."

It was easy for him to say these few words, Tian Mi could only lower her head and think about how much money the Ministry of Internal Affairs still had to spend.It's not just about fighting, even if it's a trip to the south of the Yangtze River, one or two million taels of silver are spent like flowing water.The advantage is that it is taken from the people and used by the people, which realizes the redistribution of resources and promotes the circulation of money.The downside is that this is another time the magistrate seized the opportunity to flatter and do another face-saving project.

When Kangxi said these words, he did not whisper, many people present heard it, and many concubines planned to follow Shengjia to Jiangnan to have a look.

Kangxi planned to invite the Empress Dowager to go with her, "Bring the Empress Dowager with you at that time, please, old man, see the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River."

The old lady is very happy at the moment, her reflex arc is very long, and she has not thought of the various benefits of going to the south of the Yangtze River, but she said something very disruptive at this time.

"Why didn't you see the imperial concubine? Today, everyone is here and she is missing."

Tian Mi quickly explained: The imperial concubine is sick and can't get out of bed, and I will ask Elder Brother and Gege to wish her New Year greetings later.

The old lady muttered at this time, it's a pity, this is the day of family reunion, how can there be one person missing?

All the people present who could understand Mongolian, when they heard this, lowered their heads and held glasses to taste wine.Even if there is no cup, you can look down at the plate. The flowers on the plate are so beautiful, and you can study it further.

In this embarrassing atmosphere, Kangxi was completely unmoved, and even explained solemnly, "Emperor Niang, life is like this, just like the moon. If Changshengtian takes away a person, no matter what we want If you don’t want to, this person will always return to the embrace of Changshengtian.”

Hearing this, the queen mother sighed, and the reflex arc finally came back, knowing that it was a big day to say that it was inappropriate.

"Look at me, I shouldn't have said this. Let Ten Elder Brother and Eleven Gegedo accompany their mother-in-law. Maybe with the company of these two children, she can save herself from danger."

At this time, the scene became joyous again, everyone was saying auspicious words, Tian Mi always felt that the atmosphere just now was too embarrassing, and also felt that there was something wrong with Kangxi's expression and attitude.

On such a good day, even if the Empress Dowager couldn't read her eyes and said a few unpleasant words, Kangxi, as a junior, shouldn't express displeasure, but facing the concubine who has been with him for many years who is seriously ill, he should at least care about it Ah, nothing, not even a dish.

It really happened for a reason, absolutely abnormal.

The imperial concubine has indeed changed, because she didn't like to attend events before, and her sense of presence was relatively low. In recent years, she didn't appear in front of everyone because she was pregnant and raising children, so Tian Mi didn't notice this banquet. There was no such person on the Internet, so I couldn't help but glared at Herring, why didn't I report the lack of a person in advance?

It was the queen mother who found out. Compared with her own carelessness, Tian Miqing sincerely reviewed whether she was too negligent in her duties. Such a heavyweight concubine did not show up. .

In other words, if you don't come if you are not sick, something must have happened.While no one was paying attention, Tian Mi whispered to Kangxi: "Why don't you send someone to take a look? She didn't tell me, and I don't know if she is sick. Why hasn't she come yet?"

"She's so sick that she can't get back up. It's bad news about the New Year's Eve. Don't worry about it. I'll ask Niu Hulu's family to pay her respects later."

Tian Mi wondered when did you care about the harem so much? If it wasn't because Kangxi didn't often go to the concubine's side, Tian Mi would doubt whether the two of them were peerless true love.Under normal circumstances, Kangxi didn't care about the affairs of the harem, unless something major happened to him.

Looking at Tian Mi's face, Kangxi smiled indifferently, "She is indeed ill, and the illness is very serious. I just asked Lao Shi to visit her mother-in-law, so don't worry about it."

Since they expressed the intention not to let her meddle too much, Tian Mi didn't want to meddle too much. At this time, she turned her head and looked at the prince's table, and the old ten over there was downcast.

So Tian Mi could only put on her smiling face again and toast with the concubines around her to celebrate the New Year.

At this time, the atmosphere of joy was high, and the elder brother took his daughter from the hand of the maid and carried her to Kangxi. He knelt down on one knee and said, "Huang Ama, Da Gege from the son's mansion pays respects to Mafa , you don't reward me with something"?

The surrounding concubines covered their mouths and laughed, and in the gentle laughter around, Kangxi put down the cup and cursed with a smile, "Didn't you already give the lucky money? What else do you want me to give?"

"Taking any of these treasures on your body is enough to overwhelm our big Gege's luck. Come on, good girl, let Mafa hug you. If you see something on Mafa's body, just reach out and grab it."

This is a granddaughter, Kangxi took it into his arms and hugged it, even if the accessories on her body were given to this child, it doesn't matter, she is a girl after all.

Moreover, Kangxi's posture of holding the child is extremely skillful, which surprised many people.He loved the baby so much that he even stood up and swayed while holding her in order to coax her to hold it.This time the elder brother was completely happy. In the past few months, because he had a daughter on his side, and the prince had a son on his side, he always felt that he was one step behind the second child.He didn't even wait to see his daughter. He didn't expect Huang Ama to like this granddaughter so much today, and his depression disappeared a few days ago.

The child was full and looked around with his eyes open. His little hand stretched out from the swaddle and squeezed it twice in the void. His fingers touched the chaozhu hanging on the front of Kangxi's neck.

The elder brother begged for it for his daughter, "Did Huang Ama see it? Your granddaughter personally chose it."

Kangxi was happy, "Okay, okay, Mafa will pick it off and give it to Da Gege after a while."

The prince couldn't help rolling his eyes after listening to it, and the eunuch behind him asked in a low voice: "Why don't you take our elder brother out too?"

The prince couldn't help scolding his eunuch for being stupid. If the boss hadn't done this, he would have won a lot of applause by taking his son out. If the boss did this, he would take his son out. Just like him, why bother?

Thinking of this, the prince poured himself a glass of wine and drank it down.Looking at the third and fourth children who were sitting on the side, "Did you see that? You will have a child within a year of getting married. You two should work harder and bring the child from your house over by this time next year."

The third and fourth children all said yes with a smile, after all, on a happy day, all you need is a smile on your face.The fourth child's heart became hot. He had a son who would be brought up by Er Niang in the palace. He could see Huang Ama every day, and he could also give himself a good impression.

Kangxi hugged his granddaughter for a while, then handed the child to her, Ama, "The child has yawned and will fall asleep later. Let the wet nurse wrap her up so that she doesn't freeze."

After speaking, Li Dequan asked Li Dequan to take off the court beads hanging around his neck. Kangxi himself said that good things come in pairs, and he also took off a string of bracelets on his right wrist with his own hands, and handed them to Da A elder brother.

"This is for the child, you keep it for the child."

The elder brother happily replied yes, handed the baby to the nurse, and took it with both hands respectfully, and put the two things in front of the brothers.

The things were placed on the table, and the underside was lined with bright yellow silk, and everyone could only watch helplessly.Everyone had various thoughts in their minds. The eldest brother showed things so clearly to stimulate the prince, and the prince was not fooled at all.

It's just two things. In the future, I can inherit thousands of miles of country from Huang Ama. Compared with Wanli country, these two things are really not worth mentioning.

What's more, this thing is not for the boss, it is for the little niece.I don't know why the boss has such a big face showing off here.

In the eyes of the prince, this incident was originally a trivial matter, but it was already a major event when it came to Suo'etu.Before the new year was over, Suo'etu couldn't help but tell the prince to be careful of the eldest brother after hearing this.

"Prince, why don't you know the seriousness of this matter? It is recorded in the history books that the monarch of the Chu State asked the emperor of Zhou how much the Jiuding weighed. Can he ask? On the surface, he asked about the Jiuding, but in fact The question is about Jiangshan. It’s the same at this time, the elder brother is asking for a reward for Da Gege on the surface, but in fact he is asking for Jiangshan! Take a look at what the emperor rewarded him? It’s a hanging pearl..."

The prince couldn't help rubbing his temples. After all, drinking is a must during Chinese New Year, and he has been drinking for several days.You drink when you meet your uncle, you drink when you meet your uncle, and you drink when your brothers come to respect you.I was dizzy from drinking, I couldn't distinguish what I was drinking, and finally sobered up, and heard Suo'etu nagging again.

"You think too much. This is not what the boss wants. It was touched by someone else's child's hand accidentally. How much strength can a child have in her hand? When she touches Chaozhu, Huang Ama will give it to her. It was just a coincidence."

"Prince, today's situation is because you think of everything too simply. If you suppressed the elder brother a few years ago, how could this be the case today? The heart of this servant is all for you. You have to take it to heart. Big brother has to guard against it, his wolfish ambitions are now clearly revealed..."

These words were repeated over and over again, the prince's ears were callused, and now he felt dizzy because of the headache, "I know, I know, what do you want to do?"

"Now Mingzhu's party is wooing officials in the army. We must guard against this. It's fine if they embarrass us in the court, but now they have moved into the army!"

The prince broke out in a cold sweat immediately after hearing this, "What is he going to do? Can't he plot rebellion?"

"It's not necessarily a rebellion, it may be a self-respect. No matter what kind, it must not be tolerated."

"Does the emperor know about this? Gu wants to tell the emperor about it."

"Prince, let's not tell the emperor about this matter. What if the emperor wants evidence and we can't come up with it? Let's take it easy. He can get involved with those military figures, and the prince can also get involved. These military figures are getting closer, don't you think?"

After hearing this, the prince subconsciously felt that it was not very good, but there was no good way to replace it. "Don't do that, just stay put. If the emperor misunderstood this matter, he would not be able to clear it up by jumping into the Yellow River alone."

Think about why so many princes in the history books did not die well in the end. It was not because the emperor misunderstood that they had the intention of rebellion. Before the rebellion, the relationship between father and son was as thin as a piece of paper.

At this time, the prince hadn't realized that Suo'etu was a pig teammate, and he just relied on his own intuition, thinking that this matter must not be done, but Suo'etu felt that the prince was a little indecisive, and some things should be done If you break it, you will continue to suffer from it.

But the prince's face was too ugly, he didn't dare to continue talking, and because it was Chinese New Year, the two of them said a few more festive words, the prince wanted to go back to sleep because of the headache, and Suo'etu also wanted to know more The matter was in a hurry to get out, so the two of them said goodbye.

It was the sixth day of the lunar new year. On this day, the third and fourth children gathered at Prince Yu’s house to listen to an opera. Uncle Fuquan took a jar of wine and put it in the middle. His son was sent to other palaces to drink New Year’s wine, and it was only him and him. The third and fourth are here.

"I don't know what the prince and elder brother are busy with every day. They just showed up and left. We left the rest of us to drink and fight in the cold wind. You two don't know anything. It's really boring to play with you. "

The third child smiled and asked: "It seems that you, the old man, are very reluctant to take us to play. Do you want us to stay? If you think about it, we will stay. If you don't want us brothers, just leave."

Prince Yu asked back, "What do you think?"

Leaving these two raw melon eggs, drinking alcohol is not enjoyable, and the other children are young, so it is not easy for him to get them drunk.My brother Chang Ning was too sick to get out of bed, and the older one was still lying at home during the Chinese New Year.When the emperor is in the palace, people are willing to have a few drinks. If the emperor is drunk, the emperor will not want to participate.

So Prince Yu sent someone to the palace to pick up the fifth elder brother, seventh elder brother, and eighth elder brother.

While waiting for them to come, the old uncle couldn't help asking his two nephews, "How did it feel to visit relatives on the second day of junior high school? The new son-in-law went to the old man's house for the first time. What delicious food did they cook for you?"

The third child shook his head, don't mention it, Peng Chun's family is full of strong young men, and after he passed by, he came over to invite Ann to accompany him for a drink. Lie down on the table drunk.

After the fourth brother left, there were also a few brothers-in-law, and the fourth child also had a taste of drinking, so he sat in the middle with a stern face.None of the members of the Ulanala family dared to encourage him to feel deeply depressed.Anyway, Ulanara's house was very depressed that day, and everyone didn't dare to laugh, let alone make jokes.Invite people in respectfully, and send them away respectfully.

In fact, the fourth child is a group of flustered people who always feel uncomfortable in other people's homes.Now he has mastered the knack, as long as he feels uncomfortable, he will put on a very dignified look on his face, to see who is as big as him or not.

So Fuquan found out that one of the two nephews blushed like a monkey's butt, and the other looked like a door god. "What do you two mean? After you go, will they treat you with good food and drink?"

"There is nothing that Uncle Wang can't say to me, he just drank a glass of water." The youngest blushed, he didn't expect that there were so many young people in Dong E's family, what will he do next time he goes there!

"Where's the fourth one?"

"The food is pretty good. I don't know how many dishes there are, but there are two tables anyway. It's just that there is more meat and less vegetarian food. I ate a lot of meat that day."

How difficult it is to eat a handful of green leaves at this time, the green leaves this kid gets from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are always the freshest.The Ministry of Internal Affairs didn't dare to neglect him, so it took a bit of a bite.

"How many drinks did your brother-in-laws take you?"

"Drink, one toast."

"You don't drink too much wine," Fu Quan just finished speaking, when he saw the eunuch at home drew up the curtain and respectfully ushered people in. Kangxi and his sons had already entered the flower hall.

Wearing a blue brocade robe, he asked with a smile on his face, "What did you say just now? Why did you drink a little?"

Fuquan pointed at the fourth elder brother, "What else can it be? Of course he went to his old man's house to let them drink a little less."

This made Kangxi feel interesting. As the emperor, Kangxi had never been to the old man's house.Now that the elder brother said this, he had other thoughts in his heart, and he hadn't accompanied his cousin back to his mother's house for so many years.Otherwise, if you take a chance, the two of you will go there quietly, which will make my cousin happy.

He sat down and looked at the third child standing next to him, "Don't just talk about the fourth child, where is the third child?"

The fourth elder brother immediately breathed a sigh of relief, if Huang Ama asked how he was doing in the old man's house, he had to tell the truth.After talking about it, everyone must be laughing at themselves, why not listen to the joke of the third child at this time.

Of course the third child knew that he was being laughed at, but now that Huang Ama was watching, what could he do?He can't turn around and leave on the spot.

He could only say it from the beginning to the end, with a coy expression on his face, and he wanted to make the process interesting to please Huang Ama, but he thought that even if he said something interesting to make Huang Ama happy, so what? ?Looking back, Huang Ama forgot again.

I am the unlucky middle child, the eldest and the second child are from noble families, and the other is the first surviving prince, who has received the most attention from Huang Ama.Going down, those little brothers are all innocent and cute. They are mischievous because they are young, and no one pays attention to those who are not up and down like themselves.

With this mentality in mind, he first talked about what gifts he took from Fujin's natal family.At first Kangxi disliked him for being long-winded, but after thinking about it, it's not bad to see if this son can handle things.After all, if you go out to do errands, there are slaves to assist you. This kind of thing of visiting relatives at the mother-in-law's house, the slaves can't replace it, you have to look at yourself.

What kind of gifts did you bring with you? When did you leave the house? When did you arrive at the old man’s house? Who did you say and what did you say after you went? What kind of banquet was it...

The third brother said in detail, but Kangxi felt that it was as smelly and long as the old lady's foot wrap, and there were some jokes from his uncle and son in the middle. Happy, but also smiling on his face.

The fourth child also had a smile on his face, and looked at Huang Ama who was listening with great interest?He looked at the old five and the seven who were staring in surprise.

After the third child told about his passing out from drinking, the people present were even happier.At this moment, Kangxi stared at the fifth child, "What about your brother, why are you so nervous?"

"My son realized that he had to give face after he went, and he had to drink."

"What are you telling the truth! Although we are superior, Fujin still has her natal family, you can't be cold-hearted to her natal family." Having said this, Kangxi suddenly looked at the fourth child, "You say you What did you do when you went?"

Not surprisingly, as Kangxi thought, the fourth elder brother kept a sullen face the whole time.

Fuquan was dumbfounded, and said at the time: "Your son was born a prince because of his entrustment. If you were an ordinary person, you would see if your father-in-law and brother-in-law would beat you up. Sitting in someone's house with a broken face after the New Year's Eve, there is nothing wrong with you." Looking happy, those who didn’t know thought you were looking for trouble.”

"It's unlucky for the New Year's Eve," Kangxi stopped Fuquan from continuing, beckoned to let the fourth elder brother pass, then raised his hand, and slapped the fourth elder brother hard on the warm hat. "It's really you, ha, what should I do next year?"

The fourth elder brother thought about it in his heart, since he had already had a sullen face last year, he would still have a sullen face when he went again.This is called a good beginning and a good end. Otherwise, the people of the Ulanara family will feel that they have calmed down, and some people like to push their noses on their faces.

But the fourth elder brother said honestly: "The son knows that he is wrong, and the son must correct it."

"Knowing mistakes can be corrected, there is nothing good about it", Kangxi looked at the other sons after finishing speaking, "you should do the same, although we have status, but we are ordinary people after all, and we also have relations with relatives, and we can't grow old. Hold the shelf."

Kangxi was a man who talked one way and thought another way. He thought in his heart that these sons must tame Fujin's natal family, otherwise they would not be able to be used by them. Marrying Fujin by draft is not a wife, but also a family influence.But the third child has already been tamed, and the fourth child is okay, but he is too tough, and his methods should be more mellow.

The sons all agreed, and when they went back, the brothers looked at the fourth elder brother with pity.When the fifth and seventh son returned to the palace, they also said: "Will the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law quarrel because of this?"

Lao Qi thought for a while, "Probably not, I heard that the fourth sister-in-law is very generous."

The fifth child shook his head, "Don't you know? Generosity and virtuousness are for others to see. Later, she will catch fourth brother pinching his itch and twisting his arm. We can't see these things, fourth brother won't say either."

Lao Qi thought that the fourth elder brother had been pinched and couldn't say anything, so he had to hold back his smile and apologize to the fourth sister-in-law.His face was trembling and his stomach hurt from laughing. He rubbed his stomach and laughed loudly while riding a horse. The fifth elder brother was so scared that he quickly approached him, "Be careful, don't fall down again."

The fourth elder brother lived outside the palace, so he went home first and found Ulanara, and asked him straight away. "Are you angry when you came out of Ulanara's house that day?"

Ulanara was sitting in the room, and when he was asked such a sentence, he wondered in his heart whether he had heard some rumors outside. "Master, where did you hear about it? Who told you about it?"

The fourth elder brother didn't know what to say next, and he couldn't tell if he didn't mean to make her natal family look bad that day.If you think about it carefully, the way you put on your face that day might make the Ulanala family feel that life with Fujin is not good, so you just went to their house to show off.In any case, Fujin is quite qualified to be a wife.

He thought about it, and said without beginning or end: "Master has something to go to the front, you can buy something and send someone there."

What Brother Si means is that you have been wronged by this matter, and in order to compensate you, you can use whatever money you have at home, and you can buy whatever you want.But he didn't understand what he said, and Si Fujin didn't understand either. Seeing him coming and going in a hurry, he couldn't help turning his head to look at the girl beside him, "Master, what's wrong?"
