Retirement in Qing Chuanwen

The positions of such banquets are basically arranged very strictly according to the rank of concubines, so it is not difficult for the Hesheli family to determine who is Jinghao.

only……

Hershey thought to herself, this Dai Jia was a bit beyond her expectation.

In fact, like many people, after learning about Jinghao, the first reaction is that she must be born like a fox, otherwise, Kangxi would not be attracted to her.

But in fact, Jing Hao's appearance is indeed not glamorous, especially she has a pair of natural and pure almond eyes. If she doesn't deliberately change her makeup, she looks so beautiful that she is not aggressive.

In particular, she is dressed in a warm yellow flag dress today, and she is not wearing gold or silver. She only wears less expensive gilt agate jewelry and small pearl earrings on her initials. It is probably her most eye-catching The red gold Xiangyun agate wreath worn.

To say that Jinghao's outfit today is not special when she takes it out alone, but for some reason, everything that falls on her body has a kind of exquisite beauty that is just right.

Hesheli looked at such Jinghao, and it could be said that the more he looked at it, the more uneasy he felt.

Although this Hesheli family has the same surname as the little prince's biological mother, she is not from the little prince's mother's family, and she is not even from the same branch as them. She is Tong Guowei's Fujin, the biological mother of Concubine Tong Jia.

Kangxi valued her mother's family so much, so as Kangxi's aunt, Hershey also had a very high position in the palace to participate in such a banquet, which made it more convenient for her to observe Jing from a closer distance.

The Hesheli family did not know everything about Jing Hao, but the Hesheli family still knew that her daughter had a share of the "credit" for her favor and rapid rise to power.

Although she is outside the palace, don't forget that not only her daughter entered the palace from the Tong family, but also Empress Xiao Kangzhang, Kangxi's biological mother.

Although Lord Shunzhi really didn't love Empress Xiaokangzhang very much at the beginning, the Tong family must have wanted to send her into the palace to ask for a fortune. Therefore, in order to support her in striving for favor, the Tong family can be said to be rich and powerful. contribute.

Although Empress Xiaokangzhang died early at the age of 23, but fortunately the prince she gave birth to ascended the throne smoothly, and their Tong family was able to change their families.

In addition, although Empress Xiaokangzhang died, the people she left behind were still alive and well, so as soon as Concubine Tong Jia entered the palace, she directly took over the connections that the Tong family had cultivated for her aunt and father.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Concubine Tong Jia to convey any news to the Tong family.

Originally, the Hershey family did not refuse Concubine Tong Jia to take over these connections. Her daughter was going to the richest and most dangerous place in the world. If she didn't have enough power around her, how unsafe would it be for her to be alone in the palace?

But when she learned what Concubine Tong Jia was doing with these forces, Hershey's thoughts were shaken.

She never expected that her daughter would be brave enough to spy on Emperor Trace!

This is a deadly crime, how dare she do it?

What made Hesheli even more anxious was that when Concubine Tong Jia sent someone to tell her about this matter, she seemed completely unaware of what she had done, and was just jealous and angry.

As the biological mother of Noble Concubine Tong Jia, the Hesheli family certainly felt that her daughter was the best girl in the world, but if this identity was removed, the Hesheli family really had no way to say such things against their conscience.

Logically speaking, she is the concubine Tong Jia's mother-in-law, so she is naturally on her side and doesn't like Jing Hao, but just after meeting her, she doesn't feel much bad for Jing Hao.

It turns out that it is true that some people are naturally close-eyed, such people can always easily get the favor of others, and since Jing Hao has been favored until now, instead of being favored by Kangxi twice and then thrown aside, it is enough to see She is definitely not the kind of person who is incoherent when she succeeds in one day.

Once her daughter met such a person, it was really hard for Hesheli not to worry about her.

Jinghao didn't know what Hesheli was thinking, she focused all her attention on the banquet of the Gold Award Festival, originally Jing Hao was very interested in the Gold Award Festival, after all, she hadn't participated in it before, It is a rare opportunity to naturally want to see and see.

But when she really participated, she found that it was a bit too difficult, especially when she was attending the banquet, it was under the watchful eyes of everyone, even though Jing Hao was not sure if anyone was staring at her, but she was sleepy and tired I am too embarrassed to yawn, stretch, and even have to pay attention to expression management all the time.

This must be too tiring, right?

Jinghao felt that she was really going to work hard, especially when she was sitting in her seat. She had to keep her back straight and sit very politely. She felt that she was not here to attend any banquet today. Just to be a lady puppet.

All you need is to sit beautifully in your own position and keep your makeup and posture beautiful for people to appreciate all the time.

So when she got back to Jingxiu Palace, Jing Hao didn't even bother to ask Cherry and the others to change her clothes and wash her, so she leaned directly on the beauty couch and rested comfortably for a while.

"This really killed my old waist." Jinghao swore that she would never be interested in any banquets again, is it because the beauty is paralyzed?Or is the food in Gyeongsoo Palace not good?

"My lord, let the servants wait for you to change your clothes and wash first, and then rub your waist?" Obviously, Lizhi, Cherry, and Yangmei all came to serve Jinghao on the same day, but compared to the other two, Lizhi was more It's early.

At least at such a time, among the three of them, only Lizhi dared to speak to Jinghao like this.

"That's fine." Jinghao doesn't care about being pretty anymore, so she asked Cherry and the others to take off her jewelry, and then she changed into more comfortable homely clothes, then lay down on the beauty's couch, and took office. Lychee started to massage her.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Jinghao stretched out her hand to hug the pillow she had specially made by someone, and leaned her face on it, feeling the light or heavy massage of the lychee on her waist, and she was so comfortable that she felt a little drowsy.

So after Lizhi finished massaging her, she saw that Jinghao had already fallen asleep peacefully on the beauty couch.

When Pomegranate came over with the small wontons in chicken soup that she had prepared for Jinghao, before she could open her mouth, she saw Lizhi put her finger on her lips, made a "shh" gesture for her, and motioned her to look at Jinghao. good.

Seeing Jing Hao asleep on the beauty's couch, Pomegranate immediately understood what was going on and fell silent. She didn't say anything but took the chicken soup wontons back to the kitchen.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for her to have a separate small kitchen according to Jinghao's grade, but the location of Jingxiu Palace is too far away from the imperial dining room. It can handle the past, but not so much in winter.

And since Kangxi even allowed Jing Hao to live in the main house, let alone a small kitchen.

So after Jingxiu Palace was repaired, Shiliu officially took over the small kitchen of Jingxiu Palace and became a glorious little cook.

But there are many things that are good and bad. For example, Pomegranate has gained Jinghao's trust and took over the small kitchen. Then there are very few opportunities for her to stay by Jinghao's side and serve her closely.

If it were any other court lady, she might feel that the gain outweighs the loss, but Shiliu doesn't think so.

One reason is that she likes to cook, and another reason is that she is not as smart as Lizhi and the others. Pomegranate thinks that since she is not as appropriate as Lizhi, and she is not as good at dressing up as Cherry, and she is not as good at inquiring about news as Yangmei. It's better to nest in the small kitchen and do my best to cook delicious food for the little master.

So for Lizhi's emergence and now faintly appearing beside Jinghao as the grand maid of Jingxiu Palace, Pomegranate has no jealousy towards her.

Envy is still a bit envious, but it is a pity that Pomegranate has self-knowledge, and it is impossible to become a person like Lizhi in this life, so after envying for a while, the big-hearted Pomegranate put this envy behind her.

Even out of concern for Lizhi to go to the banquet with Jinghao, there must be no chance to eat, so she specially prepared food for her.

"While the lord is still resting, you can eat a little to pad your stomach first, so as not to be hungry at night." Pomegranate said.

Seeing the one-sided clear soup that Shiliu prepared for her, Lizhi was moved. She originally thought that Shiliu would hold her grudge after she took her place beside the young master.

Was it her villainous heart?

"Thank you, Pomegranate." Lizhi said.

"Thank you, hurry up and eat." Pomegranate said.

In the small kitchen, the atmosphere of pomegranates and lychees was harmonious, but the atmosphere between Tong Guowei and Hesheli, who left the banquet and went back home, was not so good.

After returning to her own yard, the Hesheli family said to Tong Guowei: "This is not going to work, I think we have to let the Liu family return to Min'er's side to serve."

The Min'er mentioned by the Hesheli family was the nickname of Concubine Tong Jia, while the Liu family was the nanny of Concubine Tong Jia.

Originally, when Noble Concubine Tong Jia entered the palace, apart from Rulan and the others, she also brought Mammy Liu with her, but Nanny Liu was overworked when she was young, so her health was not very good when she got older.

Concubine Tong Jia has always been close to Nanny Liu, especially when she was ill more than a month ago, so she thought about letting her go out of the palace to be raised, which can be regarded as giving them a master-servant relationship.

Originally, the Hershey family had no objection to this matter, but after knowing what Concubine Tong Jia did after Madam Liu left the palace, and thinking of the Jing Hao she saw today, she felt that if Concubine Tong Jia was not around If someone like Liu Mama looked at it, something would happen sooner or later.

The Hershey family knew that it was harming Concubine Tong Jia to hide it at this time, so under Tong Guowei's puzzled eyes, she told him everything that Concubine Tong Jia had done recently.

After listening to it, Tong Guowei was really furious: "Is she crazy? How dare she do such a thing?"

Peeping at the emperor's trace?

No matter how weak and incompetent the emperor was, he couldn't accept such a thing, not to mention that today's Long Live Lord is not such a weak and incompetent person.

"When we sent her into the palace, it was to strengthen the relationship with the emperor, not to offend the emperor." Tong Guowei was almost pissed off by his daughter, "She has done such a thing now, not only knowing her mistakes , and you still want me to help her win favor?"

Tong Guowei seriously doubted that when Fujin gave birth to this daughter, did he forget to give birth to her brain?

Although their Tong family is indeed the mother family of the emperor, and the emperor values ​​them very much, it does not mean that they can do whatever they want.

Tong Guowei imagined that if he really listened to what Concubine Tong Jia said and asked Kangxi to take care of Concubine Tong Jia more, then Kangxi would not be happy.

It is true that he is his uncle, but he is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. It is true that Tong Guowei values ​​Concubine Tong Jia, and it is true that he hopes that she will give birth to the prince of Kangxi, but he is not confused yet.

"How is Liu's situation now? If she recovers, let her go back to Min'er." Tong Guowei said with a straight face, "Before entering the palace, tell her to keep an eye on Min'er and don't let her do anything else." It's a stupid thing, otherwise our Tong family wouldn't be able to keep her."

Although Tong Guowei's words were ugly, the Hesheli family knew that she was telling the truth, so they had no choice but to agree, but the Hesheli family also had to say a few words for their daughter.

"Min'er did things a little impulsively, but she is our daughter after all, and we can do better if she is good." Hesheli said, "Back then, the emperor rewarded the Empress Dowager Xiaokang as a special gift. First-class Duke Ma, the last person to attack the Duke is the eldest brother, not you."

Tong Guowei's face changed slightly, but Hesheli had no choice but to continue, "Master, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about our son."

It is also Tong Tulai's son, but because Tong Guogang was born early and Tong Guowei was born late, the success of the first-class Duke is Tong Guogang's matter and has nothing to do with Tong Guowei.

Even if Tong Guogang passed away in the future, the person who succeeded the first-class duke would only be his son, and also had nothing to do with Tong Guowei, let alone Tong Guowei's son.

In this case, would Tong Guowei be willing?

Anyway, Hershey was unwilling, otherwise she would not have agreed to send her daughter into the palace.

Tong Guowei's face sank at the words of the Hesheli family. He is also Tong Tulai's son, and also has a sister who became a queen. As a result, his elder brother attacked the first-class duke, but he got nothing. Tong Guowei will Are you willing?

Of course he was not reconciled.

……

The conversation between Tong Guowei and Hesheli's husband and wife is naturally unknown to Kangxi. Although part of the reason why he recently snubbed Concubine Tong Jia is because of Jinghao, the more important thing is that Concubine Tong Jia still doesn't know what she is doing. Something is wrong.

The reason why he didn't pursue her inadvertently leaking the truth in the Compassionate Ning Palace before was because the timing was wrong, but afterward, not only did she not come to plead guilty to him, but she also wanted to trouble other concubines, which made Kangxi Not very happy anymore.

For the sake of his mother-in-law and the Tong family, Kangxi would not deal with Concubine Tong Jia lightly, but that didn't mean he would take this matter lightly.

After Kangxi finished handling the memorial that day, he suddenly asked Liang Jiugong beside him, "How are Concubine Yi and Concubine De?"

Liang Jiugong was taken aback by the question. The person Kangxi asked him the most recently was Jing Hao. He originally thought that he would still ask about Jing Hao today, but he didn't expect that he would actually ask Yi Concubine and De Concubine.

You must know that since Jinghao appeared, Kangxi's attention to them has continued to decline.

Fortunately, although Liang Jiugong paid attention to Jinghao recently, he did not ignore Yipin and Depin, so when Kangxi asked, Liang Jiugong was able to answer him kindly.

Because Yipin's belly is almost eight months old, and it's getting bigger, and the weather is getting colder and colder recently, so she was exempted from going to Chengqian Palace to pay her respects, and she can raise her baby in Yikun Palace with peace of mind.

And Concubine Yi really valued the baby in her womb very much, she was very tolerant of loneliness, and would not go out when she was free.

And Concubine De's life is also very regular, apart from going to Chengqian Palace to pay respects to Concubine Tong Jia, and occasionally going to Compassion Ning Palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, she usually walks in the Imperial Garden at most.

"only……"

"Just what?"

"It's just that I heard that Debi avoided Chengqian Palace when she went out recently," Liang Jiugong said.

Avoid Chengqian Palace?

Kangxi thought to himself, should he be avoiding Yinzhen from Chengqian Palace?At the beginning, he deliberately let De Concubine live in the Yonghe Palace next to Chengqian Palace. In fact, he was thinking that she and Yinzhen, the mother and child, would not have such a biological relationship. In addition, De Concubine came out of Chengqian Palace. Kangxi was thinking of Tong Jia. The relationship between the imperial concubine and her is naturally closer than that of other concubines.

It's just that Kangxi didn't expect that Concubine Tong Jia would resist the meeting between Depin and Yinzhen so much, and even use such means to deal with Depin secretly.

Liang Jiugong on the side didn't know what Kangxi was thinking, he just thought that Lord Long Live suddenly mentioned Yi Concubine and De Concubine, could it be that he was tired of Dai Xiaozhu and thought of Yi Concubine and De Concubine?

If this is the case, it's not surprising, after all, after having Dai Xiaozhu, Long Live Lord has never summoned other concubines, three or five days is easy to say, but after a long time, it will inevitably feel boring.

After all, no matter how delicious the delicacies are, you will get tired if you eat too much.

Liang Jiugong was thinking about it when he heard Kangxi say: "Send someone to the imperial hospital, ask them to send someone to ask for peace pulses every three days for Yi Concubine and De Concubine, and if there is anything wrong, send someone to Qianqing Palace to report. .”

"Hey." Liang Jiugong didn't dare to be distracted, and quickly responded, thinking that the Lord Long Live gave such an order, and he was probably warning Concubine Tong Jia.

After all, generally speaking, pregnant concubines ask for a Ping An pulse every ten days or so, but now Kangxi ordered to ask for a pulse every three days, and said that they should come to Qianqing Palace to report if there is any situation. Concubine Tong Jia, don't do any more nonsense?

After all, if Concubine Tong Jia really caused something to happen to Debi's stomach, even if she was Kangxi's cousin, it wouldn't work.

Liang Jiugong was thinking, so the Lord Long Live wants to go to the Yonghe Palace of Debi today?

Just as he was thinking, Liang Jiugong heard Kangxi say: "Okay, let's drive to Jingxiu Palace."

Hearing this, Liang Jiugong thought, well, the legs of Long Live Dare to Love still only recognize Jingxiu Palace.

……

As soon as Kangxi entered Jingxiu Palace, Jing Hao knew it in the main room. After all, there were voices of greetings from the servants outside, Jing Hao got up and went out: "Greetings to the emperor."

Seeing that Jinghao was wearing thin clothes, Kangxi walked up to her in three steps and two steps and pulled her up, "I'm not afraid of the cold."

"The charcoal has been burning in the house for a long time, so it won't be cold." What Jing Hao said was true. As early as the beginning of October, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been sending her charcoal, and it's not the kind of low-quality or ordinary charcoal, but smokeless. And not easy to extinguish the silver carbon.

Although this kind of silver filament carbon is difficult to burn, once it is ignited, it can burn all night. Of course, this needs to be measured enough.

Originally, according to Jinghao's status, she didn't need such good carbon, but who made her be favored now, and Galu was her cousin, so no one made it difficult for her in this regard.

But who is really giving charcoal in a timely manner, and who is just icing on the cake, Jing Hao clearly distinguishes.

"If you don't believe me, touch my hand." Jing Hao said.

Kangxi really touched it seriously, because he knew that she was afraid of the cold, and seeing that her palms and backs were hot, he didn't say anything, but said, "I remember Ye Wenxing said that you belong to the cold family. Sexual physique, it is easy to get cold hands and feet in winter, remember to drink the Four Seasons Soup he prescribed for you, don't stop."

"I remember." Jing Hao said, "Even if I don't remember, Pomegranate and the others remember it clearly."

The Four Seasons Soup was originally formulated by Chen Zhi and Zou Xuan in the Song Dynasty, but this does not mean that young people cannot use it, so Ye Wenxing formulated a set for her based on ancient prescriptions combined with Jing’s physical condition. Four Seasons Soup Recipe.

It was about Jing's body, so Pomegranate and the others naturally remembered it firmly.

"They remember to boil and you have to remember to drink too." Can Kangxi still know that Jing is good?She was really cooperative at first, but once she got better, she started to slack off.

"Take care of your body, I'm still waiting for you to give me a little prince." Kangxi said, his eyes fell on Jinghao's stomach, thinking that if there was a child inside, he would be able to see it next year him.

Following Kangxi's eyes, Jing Hao, who looked down at her stomach, was stunned, and asked him, "Can't the little princess do it?"

"Okay, why not?" Kangxi smiled as if Jing Hao already had a child in her womb, "As long as it is born by you, whether it is a boy or a girl, I will definitely regard it as a treasure."

As soon as the little prince walked to the door, he heard Kangxi's words. He was so pleasantly surprised that he ran in directly, and he didn't even care about greeting him and asked repeatedly: "Do I want younger brothers and sisters?"

Both Jinghao and Kangxi were stunned at the same time, and looked down at the little prince. The little guy's eyes were shining, and he looked at them eagerly, with a big smile on his little face, looking extremely happy.

"Eh, this..." Jinghao only knew how much the little prince expected her to give him a younger brother and sister after the last fake pregnancy, but now...

No matter how much he expected her, she couldn't really turn him into a younger brother and sister out of thin air.

No matter how young the little prince is, he knows how to look at him. When he sees Jing's reaction, and sees that Kangxi has no words, how can he not know what's going on?

His younger siblings have not come yet.

At that moment, the little prince had no more joy, no more joy, and after the smile gradually disappeared, he silently glanced at Kangxi, that look seemed to say——

It’s okay if you can’t do it tomorrow, but can’t you do it next year?

Kangxi: "..."

For the first time, he found his son so annoying.
