Retirement in Qing Chuanwen

"The imperial concubine went to Qianqing Palace to find the emperor?"

When everyone's attention was focused on Jing Hao's "meeting" with Xi, Yi Concubine paid more attention to Concubine Tong Jia's movements.

After hearing the report from the people below, Yipin showed a pensive expression on his face, "Could it be that Depin's matter is really the work of the imperial concubine?"

From a court lady to a concubine, it is impossible for a concubine to have no tricks and tricks. Besides, in a place like the Forbidden City, no matter how white and flawless a person is, as long as they spend a period of time, they will either hone their skills or directly hone their skills. Gone.

Let's see if Concubine Yi is now sitting as the lord of the first palace, and she has successfully given birth to the emperor's heir, you will know whether she is the former or the latter.

Concubine Yi entered the palace much later than Concubine De. Depin entered the palace in the 12th year of Kangxi, and Wanliu Hashi, who had gone to Nanyuan together before, entered the palace with her as a maid.

Concubine Yi did not enter the palace until 16 years after Kangxi, a full four years later than Concubine De, but she wanted to be favored earlier than Concubine De.

Of course, she was favored earlier than De Concubine, but Yi Concubine did not dare to underestimate De Concubine. After all, she was able to stay in this man-eating harem for four years without incident, which meant that she not only had the ability to protect herself, And know how to be patient.

She knew very well that she was too young, and there was no benefit in showing her head so quickly, so she chose to lie dormant and wait for the opportunity.

And as I said before, the whole palace knows how much Guifei Tong Jia loves to be sour and jealous. Kangxi, this shows her ability.

Moreover, both Yipin and Depin were favored. It's not that Yipin had thought of stepping down Depin. After all, if the two were favored at the same time, the favor they got would naturally be divided a lot.

It's a pity that the concubine De is not a vegetarian. She accepted the favor one step later than her, but gave birth to the little prince for the Long Live Lord one step earlier than her.

It is precisely because she has dealt with De Concubine a lot that Yi Concubine understands what she is like. On the day De Concubine gave birth on February [-], Yi Concubine felt that something was wrong.

Because Debi has always been cautious, she doesn't think she will deliberately pick the day of February [-] to give birth. Of course, things like having a baby are out of control. If God insists on her being born on this day, then Debi The concubine can't help it either.

It was only afterwards that Yipin also noticed something was wrong, which made her wonder if Depin was being tricked by someone?So that she can give birth to a fat boy full of blessings for Long Live on February [-]nd?

You must know that experienced imperial physicians have already hinted that Debi's birth is another son.

If Concubine De is pregnant with a daughter, then it is reasonable for her to calculate that she will give birth on February [-]nd. After all, although the princess is also surnamed Aixinjueluo, she must be honest, the princess is indeed not as precious as the prince Jingui.

But the son was different.

To be born as a prince is already a great blessing, but to be born on a day when the dragon raises its head, you must know that when the water is full, it will overflow, and when the moon is full, it will lose money. I don't know this truth if I don't believe it.

But who will plot against Debi?

After much deliberation, Concubine Yi felt that Concubine Tong Jia was the most likely, so she had been sending people to keep an eye on Chengqian Palace these days, but after knowing that Concubine Tong Jia was rushing to Qianqing Palace to find Kangxi, Concubine Yi hesitated again.

"With the concubine's temperament, she can still come up with such a way to plot against Concubine De?" It's not that Concubine Yi belittled Concubine Tong Jia, what should she say?

As long as things don't have much to do with Kangxi, Concubine Tong Jia can manage beautifully, but as long as things have something to do with Kangxi, Concubine Tong Jia doesn't have much reason to speak of.

In the words of later generations, this is probably a love brain, and it is still the stubborn type.

Anyway, no matter who is favored, Noble Concubine Tong Jia doesn't like anyone and targets whom, and among so many people who are favored, De concubine can definitely be regarded as the top three on Noble Concubine Tong Jia's hate list.

No way, who let De Concubine use her as a springboard, the child was indeed given birth to Concubine Tong Jia, but De Concubine also seized Kangxi's favor, and even broke free from Concubine Tong Jia's restraint, and sat on the throne of the First Palace. Lord's position.

When Concubine De was promoted all the way, everyone in the palace was watching the jokes about Concubine Tong Jia, saying that she shot herself in the foot with a stone, thinking that Wu Yashi was someone she could handle casually, but in the end I didn't expect to be self-defeating, self-confessed, and created a big trouble for myself.

"The imperial concubine may not have that kind of brains, but there is a mother Liu beside her." Suqin, the eldest court lady next to Yipin, pinched her shoulders and said, "Master, think about it, there is mother Liu beside the imperial concubine." When did the imperial concubine have any big troubles?"

Yi Bin felt the same when she heard this, although Concubine Tong Jia was impulsive, but Nanny Liu was not easy.

Just when Concubine Yi was guessing whether Concubine Tong Jia was responsible for Concubine De's being plotted to give birth on February [-], Concubine Tong Jia had already come to Qianqing Palace to meet Kangxi.

"The courtiers and concubines see the emperor, and the emperor is blessed and safe."

Concubine Tong Jia didn't dare to wear flower pot shoes at the moment because of her sprained foot, she could only wear embroidered shoes, but even so, she still needed Mammy Liu to support her when she walked and stood.

"Excuse me." Kangxi was also a little surprised that Concubine Tong Jia came to him now, and seeing that she couldn't stand still, he asked Liang Jiugong to bring her a chair, "Sit down and talk, is your injury better?"

"It's much better already, thank you for your concern." Receiving Kangxi's concern, Concubine Tong Jia suddenly showed a smile on her face, and after sitting down with Liu Nanny's hand, she cared about Kangxi's half softly How are you doing in Nanyuan for more than a month?

Concubine Tong Jia probably couldn't stop the car when she cared about Kangxi because she hadn't seen Kangxi for a while.

However, Kangxi had just returned from Nanyuan, and he hardly stopped. After changing his clothes, he went to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. coming.

Originally, Kangxi thought she had something important to report to him, but now...

It's not that Kangxi is unreasonable, but that he really doesn't have the heart to listen to her gossip now.

Fortunately, Concubine Tong Jia is not the kind of person who can't even look at the eyes. Seeing Kangxi's face turned pale, she stopped in time and changed her words: "... By the way, the concubine hasn't congratulated the emperor yet. The former concubine gave your majesty a little prince, and now that Mrs. Dai Gui is happy again, it won't be long before she can add another son to your majesty."

Concubine Tong Jia is impulsive, but she is not stupid. She doesn't like Jing Hao or De Concubine, but this does not mean that she will show her dislike for them to Kangxi.

Isn't this equivalent to telling Long Live Lord that she is a jealous person?

Although she is.

Seeing that Kangxi lost a little bit of impatience because she mentioned these two things, Concubine Tong Jia felt sore and astringent in her heart, but she did not forget her purpose of coming to Qianqing Palace to find Kangxi today.

Because after putting aside the sourness in her heart, Concubine Tong Jia started to get straight to the point: "I don't know if the emperor still remembers the incident where the concubine sprained her feet more than half a month ago?"

"Remember." Of course Kangxi did not forget, after all, Concubine Tong Jia's foot has not fully recovered, "At that time you suspected that someone had harmed you, and I specially allowed you to send someone to investigate."

"It's been more than half a month now, what's the result?"

When Kangxi heard Guifei Tong Jia mentioning this matter, she immediately understood her purpose of coming today, and she was sure that she must have found something, otherwise she would not be so anxious to come to Qianqing Palace.

"It's been found out. The concubine has a confession here. The emperor can take a look at it first." After the noble concubine Tong Jia finished speaking, Mammy Liu took out the confession that she had prepared in advance, and handed it to Liang Jiugong. Then he handed it to Kangxi.

The confession was not much, but it was also quite a lot. Kangxi quickly read the whole confession after glancing at ten lines.

Concubine Tong Jia has been paying attention to Kangxi's reaction. Seeing that there is no expression on his face, her heart is pounding, a little flustered and a little excited.

The panic was that she didn't know if Kangxi would not believe the confession she gave, but the excitement was that if Kangxi believed it, then Debi must have suffered a big fall this time.

To be honest, after Guifei Tong Jia was instructed by Madam Liu, she really thought that even if it was finally found out that it had nothing to do with Concubine De, she would blame her for being sprained by a mouse. .

In the end, who knows, although the mastermind behind the scenes was not found out in the end, Mammy Liu found out that there was a concubine De in their Chengqian Palace, and even found out that Concubine Tong Jia wanted to make De Concubine dumb by means. The matter of Huang Lian was also because someone informed De Concubine in advance, so De Concubine followed suit, causing Concubine Tong Jia to shoot herself in the foot!

When this was found out, not to mention Concubine Tong Jia, even Mammy Liu looked very ugly.

Fortunately, they thought that Chengqian Palace was an iron wall, but who knew that among the people serving underneath, those who they thought were loyal to Concubine Tong Jia had already turned their backs and became Defei's ears.

This made Concubine Tong Jia intolerable.

If it wasn't because Kangxi was not in the Forbidden City at that time, and Concubine De was already due to give birth, Concubine Tong Jia would not have endured it for so long.

Because there was no need for Mammy Liu to remind, Concubine Tong Jia also knew that it was useless to settle accounts with Concubine De at that time, if she took the opportunity to pretend to have a stomachache, or if it really irritated her, then her reason would become unreasonable.

But Concubine Tong Jia was willing to endure, but she was unwilling to let De Concubine go. Otherwise, she would not be so anxious to come to see Kangxi today and expose De Concubine's true colors in front of her.

"The concubine couldn't believe it when she first found out that the matter was related to the concubine De. Although she used to work in the Chengqian Palace, she was just a little maid. It's not unusual to have a few good friends. However, what is strange is that since the concubines had made good friends with them at the beginning, why didn't they go to the concubines and give them to her as palace maids after they were promoted?"

"Since De Concubine didn't do this, what's the point of dealing with these maids in private? They are all servants of concubines, but now they have become De Concubine's ear gods."

Speaking of this, Concubine Tong Jia's face became a little ugly, "It was my concubine's fault to let the maid deliberately tamper with the teacup given to Concubine De, but Concubine De knew from those ear gods that concubine was going to do this After that, they deliberately followed the plan."

"Afterwards, she pretended to be pitiful and innocent to win your sympathy, Your Majesty. From this, it can be seen that her usual respect to her concubines is nothing more than a hypocrisy..."

Seeing that the more Concubine Tong Jia talked, the expression on Kangxi's face became weaker, Mammy Liu couldn't help reaching out to touch Concubine Tong Jia, and the latter shut up in time as if she had just woken up from a dream.

But it's too late to shut up now, because the concubine Tong Jia basically said what she wanted to say. After she shut up, Concubine Tong Jia looked at Kangxi, "Your Majesty, this matter is not because the concubine wants to argue with the concubine De. , She really did too much."

"As long as the concubine thinks that the servant in Chengqian Palace who should be loyal to her is actually a concubine, she can't help but feel shuddering."

"De concubine, how long has she been a concubine in Chengqian Palace? It turned out that in such a short time, she was able to buy so many people's hearts. Thanks to the concubine who found out earlier, otherwise she would not know what would happen in the future." What happened?"

"Now it's just releasing mice to scare the concubine, who knows what will happen next time?"

"There is a confession, what about these maids?" Kangxi asked.

"The courtiers and concubines have been locked up." Of course, Noble Concubine Tong Jia did not use torture privately, otherwise she would not have a good reputation if it spread.

However, Concubine Tong Jia was really angry, so the people who locked up these court ladies only asked them to give them a bowl of porridge that was so rare that they could look in the mirror every day, and barely hung their lives to prevent them from starving to death.

"Okay, Liang Jiugong will go back with you later, you can hand over these people to him to deal with." Kangxi said.

"The matter of the concubine..." Concubine Tong Jia wanted to ask more questions, but she quickly changed her mind after being pulled by Madam Liu, "... I will leave it to you, Your Majesty, and the concubine will leave first."

Seeing that Concubine Tong Jia didn't continue to stalk, Kangxi's complexion improved a bit: "You go back first, after this matter is found out, I will give you an explanation."

With Kangxi's words, Concubine Tong Jia was naturally relieved, at least she knew that he had always kept his word.

So Noble Concubine Tong Jia left Qianqing Palace full of ambition. People in the harem didn't know what Noble Concubine Tong Jia said to Kangxi in Qianqing Palace, but in the eyes of those who cared about her like this, it was inevitable that she would be somewhat suspicious.

But it’s hard to say who is caring. Anyway, Jinghao is the one who doesn’t care. I don’t know if it’s because the child in her stomach hurts people this time, or because the carriage is moving slowly, so Jinghao is not as uncomfortable as last time. .

But after sitting in the carriage for a long time, Jing Hao was really tired. After Ye Wenxing took her pulse and made sure that she was fine, Jing Hao decided to take a good rest first.

Because Kangxi came back for the first day today, there will be a family banquet tonight. If she doesn't get enough energy now, she will definitely not be able to hold on tonight.

After Jinghao had a comfortable sleep, it was just late when she woke up. After taking the wet handkerchief from Lizhi and wiping her face to wake herself up, Pomegranate also brought up the prepared milk.

Although Jinghao is pregnant for the first time in two lifetimes, she has heard about the fact that pregnant women need to take folic acid and calcium tablets during pregnancy. Unfortunately, Jinghao searched the supermarkets and couldn't find these two things, so she had to find a way Find things to replace them in real life.

Let’s not talk about what to replace folic acid with, but you know what calcium supplements you can eat without taking calcium tablets. Foods such as milk, shrimp skins, soy products, and various bone soups all contain a lot of calcium. .

Jinghao usually drinks milk, but what she drinks is milk tea with tea leaves added, but she is pregnant now, so it is not suitable to add tea leaves to milk, so she can only drink milk alone.

To be honest, the taste is not as good as milk tea, but Jinghao is not self-willed. Knowing that pregnant women need calcium supplements during pregnancy, she can only hold her nose and drink it.

While drinking, Jing Hao listened to Yang Mei tell her about what happened in the palace during the period when she left the palace. In fact, Jing Hao also knew that since Kangxi had gone to Nanyuan, the concubines in the harem would basically calm down.

Because Kangxi is gone, what else can they do?

But Jinghao was still very curious, mainly about the matter of Concubine Tong Jia. After all, she had an accident just before departure. Later, Jinghao went to Nanyuan with Kangxi, and she had no idea about the subsequent development.

"Has the imperial concubine found out who harmed her?" Jing Hao asked.

"It's hard to inquire about this matter." Yang Mei shook her head and said, "The imperial concubine had an accident in Chengqian Palace, so you don't need to guess to know that there must be a traitor there. After you and the emperor leave the palace, the imperial concubine will close the door I came to investigate thoroughly, and haven’t heard anything since.”

"However, the slave found out that after the emperor returned to the Qianqing Palace from the Palace of Compassion, the noble concubine went directly to the emperor. The slave thought that the noble concubine must have found something, because when she left, it was Eunuch Liang who sent her all the way back to Chengqian Palace. Yes, when he returned, Eunuch Liang took away three maids from Chengqian Palace."

Yang Mei thought to herself, needless to say, the three maids knew that they must be moles picked out by the imperial concubine, otherwise she would not have let Eunuch Liang take them away.

But Yang Mei was really curious, "My lord, who do you think the three maids belong to?"

"Debi?" These two words suddenly appeared in Jinghao's mind after drinking the last sip of milk.

"De Concubine?" Let alone Yang Mei, they all looked at Jing at Shiliu, "My lord, why do you think it's De Concubine's?"

"Yes, Concubine De was so humiliated by the imperial concubine in Chengqian Palace before. The imperial concubine just gave her an apology, and she treated it as nothing happened."

"You also said that it's like nothing happened, but it's not really nothing happened." Jinghao suspected that there was a reason for the concubine De, she said, "Think about it, the emperor just came back today, and his buttocks haven't even warmed up yet. Killed and went to Qianqing Palace, what does this mean?"

"On behalf of the noble concubine, are you in a hurry?"

"That's right, and it also means that she has already found out who harmed her. Since the imperial concubine already knew who was behind the scenes, and she couldn't wait to get justice, why didn't she go there as soon as she found out? Looking for the mastermind behind the scenes?"

Jinghao analyzed with Shiliu and the others with reason and evidence, "Either she can't afford to mess with the black hand behind the scenes, or she can't mess with the black hand behind the scenes."

"You all know the status of the noble concubine. Who else in the harem can't afford to mess with? Then there's only one person she can't mess with. Then think about it, who was the noble concubine in the palace a while ago that she couldn't mess with even if she got angry. of?"

"Debi?" Shiliu and the others said in unison.

"It's the concubine who is pregnant with the emperor's heir." Jing Hao said, "No matter how impulsive the imperial concubine is, she will know that if she hurts the emperor's heir, even if she is the emperor's cousin, she will not be able to escape the guilt."

If it were any other concubine, Jing Hao would have reason to suspect that Concubine Tong Jia would rush to the door and tear her apart.

Even if Concubine Tong Jia really did this, would Kangxi and the Empress Dowager really punish her severely?

After all, this time she is indeed the sufferer.

Yang Mei and the others listened, and felt that there was indeed some truth, but...

"De concubine just gave birth to a very lucky prince. Even if she really did it, do you think the emperor will punish her, my lord?" Cherry asked.

Whether it will happen, Jing Hao doesn't know, but she thinks of the lucky prince Yinzuo that Cherry said, the son of Depin.

When Jinghao saw Chuanwen clearly before, she remembered that there was a saying that Kangxi liked the sixth prince born by De concubine very much, even more than the prince, so he specially named him Yinzuo, and the word Zuo, It means the throne.

But Jinghao thinks this possibility is unlikely, because whether it is the prince in history or the young prince today, he is absolutely favored at the age of less than seven years old.

Even if Kangxi in history dotes on Concubine De again, it is impossible to love Wujiwu so much that he loves a newborn child so much, not to mention that Kangxi in the real world now loves her more.

Jing Hao is not afraid to admit this.

So Jinghao thinks that Kangxi named the little prince Yinzuo simply because the word represents blessing, and the names of the little prince, elder brother, and third elder brother are also the same.

Jing Hao thought to herself, but she didn't know if this blessed son born by Debi could help her tide over the difficulties if she guessed correctly.

……

Sure can.

At the same time, Debi, who already knew who plotted against her and how she planned to plot against her, looked at Yinzuo who had just finished drinking milk and was obediently hugged by her in her arms, thinking that since Tong Jiashi specially chose her son If she had such a good birth date on February [-], her son must be a blessed one.

Since Yinzuo is a blessed child, then she, the mother-in-law, is also a blessed one.

"Master, is the person who plotted against you before really a noble concubine?" Jinchai and Yinchai have always known that there are their master's concubines in Chengqian Palace, but they don't know why Liang Jiugong took away those concubines when De concubine heard about them. , it is certain that Concubine Tong Jia plotted against her.

Didn't it mean that someone put the dead concubine next to Wei Wu two years ago?Concubine Tong Jia has such scheming and patience?

"Could it be that the noble concubine was used as a gun again?" Yinchai said, "She was used by Xuan noble before, and it turned out to be cheap for Dai noble?"

"No." De Concubine shook her head, and then said, "I was pregnant with Yinzhen two years ago. At that time, I hardly had any grudges with anyone. Except for the noble concubine, who would bother to put me next to Ama?" manpower?"

After all, at that time, everyone knew that she was pushed out by Concubine Tong Jia to give birth to her, and few people took her seriously at first, unlike Concubine Yi.

Although she was also born as a court lady, she was completely dependent on herself, and her style was different from the low-key concubine, so it can be said that she was very enviable.

"But... if it was really the concubine who conspired against you, why didn't she say anything today? Instead, she pulled out those three maids?" Yinchai couldn't understand why she knew that Concubine Tong Jia was in the Qianqing Palace. What about Tidepin giving birth?

It's very simple, if Concubine Tong Jia mentioned it, then Kangxi would not only let Liang Jiugong take away the three maids, maybe he would even send someone to take away Nanny Li.

Yes, even though I know that it was Nanny Li who gave Concubine De the birth-inducing medicine, she is still working in Yonghe Palace.

Firstly, because Nanny Li was being used by others, and secondly, because Nanny Li was already working in Yonghe Palace, letting her leave rashly might attract more attention.

"Why?" Debi sneered, "If she really said it, I'm not sure she's plotting against me."
