Retirement in Qing Chuanwen

If Concubine Tong Jia went straight to Qianqing Palace to report to Kangxi that she used birth-inducing drugs to give birth on February [-], then Concubine De might wonder if she was being used by others?

Because as Yinchai said, it's not that Guifei Tong Jia hasn't done similar stupid things.

However, Noble Concubine Tong Jia did not. The reason she rushed to Qianqing Palace in such a hurry was only because she found out the three court ladies who were related to her in Chengqian Palace.

Jinchai and Yinchai still didn't understand, so Concubine De said simply: "If Mammy Liu didn't come back, it's not unusual for a noble concubine to do such a thing, but Mammy Liu is by her side."

"Just imagine, according to the imperial concubine's impulsive temperament, if she hadn't been stopped by Madam Liu, after she knew that there was someone like me in Chengqian Palace, she would rush directly to Yonghe Palace to settle accounts with me immediately. How could it be tolerated for so long?"

"But she just endured it."

When De Concubine said this, Jinchai vaguely understood: "Master, what you mean is that if the concubine and the concubine did not plan to induce birth medicine, then even if the concubine wanted to report to the emperor, she would not choose the today."

"They chose to do the opposite, just to deceive others?"

After Nobile finished speaking, Concubine De gave her a look of approval: "The concubine and the others are making a fuss today, no doubt it's an act of 300 taels of silver here."

Yinchai thought of a question: "Master, didn't the imperial concubine start a thorough investigation because there were rats in Chengqian Palace and sprained her feet? Why did you only let Eunuch Liang take Xiaoyu and the three of them away today?"

Jinchai also came to her senses, looked at De Concubine quickly, and then heard De Concubine say: "There are two possibilities, either the imperial concubine did not find the person who caused her accident last time, or the imperial concubine has identified the person who caused her accident. People are me."

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain Yinchai's question.

"But... but the concubine sprained her ankle before, it has nothing to do with you, master." Yinchai said indignantly, "The concubine is useless by herself, can you put the blame on your master if you can't find the mastermind behind the scenes? ?”

Contrary to Yinchai, Concubine De, who was likely to be caught by Concubine Tong Jia, was not too aggrieved, because she already knew how her relationship with Concubine Tong Jia was, and if she had caught Concubine Tong Jia If she has little braids, Debi will not let her go easily.

Thinking about it this way, De Concubine naturally wouldn't feel angry and aggrieved because Concubine Tong Jia gave her a shit bowl, and she was more worried about another thing, which was the purpose of Concubine Tong Jia's scheme against her.

Don't talk about De concubine, I'm afraid that even a fool would not believe that concubine Tong Jia was plotting against her just to pick a good birth date for her son so that Kangxi would treat Yinzuo differently.

So what is the purpose of Concubine Tong Jia?

In order to get rid of the bottom line, solve her fundamentally.

If concubine Yi was favored by her beauty and temperament in the beginning, then how did concubine De rely on her position in the first place?

It depends on her not fighting or grabbing externally, and keeping her own place; internally, she is gentle, considerate, and understanding.

However, Concubine Tong Jia picked out Xiao Yu and the other three court ladies, so she could guess how many things that Concubine Tong Jia had pried out from their mouths about her and unfavorable to her without asking Concubine De.

As long as Concubine Tong Jia puts all these things in front of Kangxi, more than half of Debi's hard-working image will collapse, and the remaining half-

It all came down to the fact that she gave birth on February [-] by taking birth control pills.

Concubine De De is not sure how Concubine Tong Jia is going to reveal this matter in the end, but Concubine De is certain that——

She couldn't sit still like this.

-

The turbulent undercurrent under the calm surface has nothing to do with Jinghao. After chatting with Yang Mei and the others, Cherry began to dress her up.

Coincidentally, Wei Zhu brought someone here at this time. Kangxi did not bring Wei Zhu with him when he went to Nanyuan before, but seeing that Jing was healed, Wei Zhu was still very warm: "My servant greets Dai Xiaozhu, My little master, Wanfu Jinan."

"Eunuch Wei, don't be too polite, get up quickly." The so-called people who stretch out their hands and don't hit smiling faces, and Wei Zhu has come to Jingxiu Palace more times, Jinghao has naturally become acquainted with him, "Long time no see, I don't know Wei How is the father-in-law recently?"

Wei Zhu said: "Thank you, little master, for your concern. Everything is fine with this slave, but Long Live Lord has been away from the palace for more than half a month, and this slave is really worried. On the day Eunuch Liang returned to the palace, this slave almost wanted to go back to Nanyuan with him."

Jing Hao smiled and said: "Eunuch Wei is indeed loyal to the emperor."

He thought she was just casually exchanging pleasantries, but he never forgot to say things to flatter Kangxi all the time.

"Don't dare, dare not." Wei Zhu laughed, and then said, "This time, the slave was not able to go to Nanyuan with the Long Live Lord, but he couldn't be the first to congratulate the young master on his happiness."

"I accept Eunuch Wei's wishes, it's not too late if you want to." Jing Hao said.

Wei Zhu did not forget her mission to come to Jingxiu Palace. After exchanging pleasantries with Jinghao, she asked the little eunuch behind her to present the red lacquer box in her hand, and said to Jinghao: "This The Lord Long Live ordered his servants to bring it to the young master, and the long live Lord also said that the young master is pregnant and cannot bear the fatigue, so from today onwards, the young master is specially allowed to use a chariot and sedan chair instead."

"Then I will thank you, Eunuch Wei, the emperor for me." There was no need to signal quietly, Li Zhi had already stuffed Wei Zhu and the two little eunuchs behind him with purses.

"It's easy to talk about." Wei Zhu accepted it with a smile, and she was very eloquent, "Then this will let the servant be happy with you, young master."

After Wei Zhu left with the two little eunuchs, Cherry opened the box that Wei Zhu sent over for Jinghao, and inside was a pair of exquisitely crafted silk-burned blue-inlaid ruby ​​​​butterfly flower gold step shake.

"My lord, this pair of Bu Yao is so beautiful." Not to mention the cherries, even Lizhi couldn't help but attract their attention.

It should be known that the silk-tied craft has developed greatly from the Han Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, especially after entering the Qing Dynasty, this craft has not only become more refined, but also has a wider range of applications.

But even so, silk jewelry is still hard to come by, because this craft is too difficult, especially the three-dimensional silk jewelry.

The pair of buds given to Jinghao by Kangxi made flowers in the shape of silk with rubies inlaid in the center as the flower heart, and then made lifelike butterflies around the flowers with burning blue technology, just like butterflies standing on flowers It looks like a flower, so it was named Dielianhua.

"My lord, shall we wear this pair of walkers tonight?" Cherry asked.

"Dai, why don't you wear it?" Jing laughed and said, "The Emperor sent me this pair of walkers in such a hurry, why am I ashamed not to wear them?"

But of course, it's also because the pair of Bu Yao are really beautifully made, and Jing Hao has always had little resistance to beautiful things.

Now that the jewelry has been changed, the originally selected flag outfit has to be changed as well. After all, the color of the flag outfit chosen earlier doesn’t match well with the jewelry. Cherry and the others carefully matched it for Jinghao. Well, I went to the banquet in a sedan chair.

……

The big celebrity in front of Kangxi is Liang Jiugong, that's right, but Wei Zhu's status in Qianqing Palace is not low, so Wei Zhu took the little eunuch and walked from Qianqing Palace to Jingxiu Palace with things in his hands. inside.

So when Jinghao appeared, the concubines who had already taken their seats in advance couldn't help but subconsciously looked at her, their gazes finally settled on the pair of walkers above her head.

Where can ordinary people easily get such exquisitely crafted jewelry?Even though the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is Jing Hao's cousin, so he doesn't need to think about it to know that this pair of buds must have been sent by Kangxi.

As for whether it was delivered today or when they were in Nanyuan, it doesn't matter to these concubines, it also makes them feel sour.

Obviously they all know that Long Live Lord is not that kind of considerate temperament, he pretends to be thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in his heart, so why would he care about the love of his children?

But facing Jinghao seems to be an exception.

In terms of rewards, in fact, all the concubines present have received rewards from Kangxi, whether they are favored or not, because even if they are not favored, Kangxi will reward the harem every festival.

It's just that some people have more and some people have less.

But is there any concubine like Jing Hao who receives rewards from Kangxi every so often?Even during Chinese New Year, Kangxi gave Jinghao lucky money.

Originally, the concubines felt sour in their hearts, but when they thought about this, their hearts seemed to be soaked in vinegar, not only sour but also astringent.

It's really people-to-people, maddening people.

Again, these concubines are not short of lucky money or jewelry (of course, some are really bad), they actually care more about Kangxi's heart.

If Liang Jiugong knew what these concubines were thinking, he would definitely shake his head to show that they didn't care.

If you don't say that Long Live Lord is ruthless, he only cares about the people he cares about. As for those who don't care, they are probably no different from kittens and puppies in his eyes.

So Liang Jiugong wasn't surprised at all when he found out that Long Live God, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager had arrived and noticed Dai Xiaozhu at first sight.

Originally, Xiaozhu Dai was favored, and now she is pregnant, so she has to be protected like an eyeball.

Kangxi didn't notice the jealousy of the other concubines, but only noticed the pair of butterfly lovers on Jinghao's head.

The so-called Bu Yao, as the name suggests, means shaking while walking. Just after a blessed movement, Kangxi noticed that the butterfly wings on the pair of Bu Yao that Jing Hao wore on her head seemed to tremble a bit, which was extraordinarily expressive. vivid.

At first glance, it looked as if a butterfly had actually landed on her hairpin.

Kangxi was naturally happy to see the jewelry he chose was worn on the head of the woman he loved. Originally, he thought Jinghao had lived in Nanyuan for more than half a month, and he didn't know if he was used to returning to the Forbidden City suddenly.

But now it seems that he is worrying too much.

"Your Dai Xiaozhu can't drink tea or alcohol right now. Later, you can ask someone to make a pot of honey grapefruit tea for her, so that Dai Xiaozhu doesn't think drinking boiled water is tasteless." Kangxi instructed Liang Jiugong.

Kangxi had never drank this honey grapefruit tea before, and he only knew that honey and grapefruit can be combined to make a drink after going through Jinghao Amway.

Although this honey citron tea has the word tea, it does not contain tea leaves. After asking Zhao Baicheng to confirm that Jing Hao can drink it, Kangxi did not stop Jing Hao from drinking this tea.

After all, Kangxi can also understand people who are used to drinking tea. It seems a bit too embarrassing for her to be able to drink only boiled water for a long time.

"Hey." Liang Jiugong responded quickly, he knew that the purpose of what Kangxi said to ask him to go to make a pot of honey grapefruit tea for Jinghao himself was to worry that if the things for Jinghao were not watched by himself, someone would be afraid Will take advantage of the opportunity to move.

How much Kangxi valued Jinghao, and Liang Jiugong, who valued Jinghao's child, was naturally clear, so of course he didn't dare to be perfunctory.

So after a while, Jinghao received the honey grapefruit tea delivered by Liang Jiugong himself. Hearing what he said Kangxi said, Jinghao subconsciously looked towards Kangxi, and happened to meet Kangxi's gaze.

Immediately the two looked at each other and smiled.

Although Jinghao and Kangxi were far apart, they didn't even say a word, but just looking at each other was enough to make many people jealous.

Originally, when they saw Liang Jiugong leaving Kangxi's side, they were still wondering what Kangxi asked him to do, but in a blink of an eye, they saw Liang Jiugong go to Jinghao's side to give her something.

Now the curiosity of the other concubines was satisfied, but unfortunately they were not happy at all.

They are also Kangxi's concubines, but will the treatment be too bad?

It is true that they are not pregnant now, but some concubines among them have conceived a child, and there are more than one, but I have never seen any concubine who can receive such careful care from Kangxi when they are happy.

Not to mention concubines such as Concubines Hui who have never been favored, Concubines Rong and Concubines Yi have been favored before, especially Concubines Yi.

Obviously at this time last year, she was still the envied Master Yi, why it was only a year... no, it should be half a year, she became a daylight just like Concubine Rong and the others?

When Jinghao first got favored, Yipin was indeed nervous, but only for a while, and then she put all her energy on her stomach.

After all, Concubine Yi had been looking forward to this child for a long time, so she was naturally happy and cherished to finally conceive her.

Moreover, Yipin was always a woman who grew up in a feudal society. Even though she would be bitter and jealous, she felt that it was only natural for Kangxi to spoil others when she was pregnant.

As long as a man with a little background in a common people's family will take a concubine, let alone the most noble man in the world?

It's not that Yipin and some women who have the same idea as her are not up to date, but that the concept instilled in them by their growth environment is like this, so they can't be blamed for this.

But what makes Yipin puzzled is not Jinghao's favor, but her falling out of favor.

No woman can be favored for a lifetime, Yibi knows this, but she is not an old woman now, and she has not done anything wrong, why did she fall out of favor inexplicably?

Seeing Kangxi caring for Jinghao at the family banquet, Yipin couldn't help but recall that when she just announced the good news, did the emperor treat her so caringly?

It's only a year or so, it's not short, but it's not long, so Yipin clearly remembers that the emperor was happy when he found out that she was pregnant, but he just gave her some rewards to let her have a good pregnancy. .

It's not like Kangxi is so good to Jing now, not only caring about what she drinks at the family banquet, but even after the family banquet, he went back to Jingxiu Palace with her.

"I saw that you didn't eat much just now. Is it because you have no appetite or not?" Since Kangxi is going to Jingxiu Palace, there is no need to sit separately from Jinghao. After directly pulling her into the dragon carriage, he asked her .

"Before I came here, I already had something to fill my stomach, and I'm not very hungry." Jinghao answered Kangxi with her mouth, but her attention was on the dragon chariot sitting under her buttocks.

The ranks of concubines in the harem are different, and the chariots they ride are different, not to mention the dragon chariots they are riding now, which are exclusive to the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

No kidding, if Kangxi hadn't allowed her to sit with her, Jing Hao would never have had the chance to sit on a dragon chariot in this life, let alone see how the interior of the dragon chariot is arranged.

Seeing that Jinghao was so curious about the interior layout of the dragon carriage, Kangxi thought it was funny, but he still took her to explain to her carefully what it is and what is the use of which one.

After returning to Jingxiu Palace, Jinghao immediately asked Cherry to remove the jewelry on her head and waited for her to change her clothes. After changing into homely clothes, Jinghao came out and saw that Kangxi had also collapsed.

Although it is already mid-February, it is still a bit chilly at night, but after walking in, I immediately feel warm like spring.

This is not because carbon was burned in the main room, but because Jingxiu Palace finally installed floor heating.

The so-called floor heating refers to the ground radiation heating of later generations. This technology was not unique to the Qing Dynasty, but became a heating method exclusively used by the royal family at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, many palaces in the Forbidden City have floor heating, but because Jingxiu Palace is too far away, there is no favorite concubine living there, so there has been no floor heating.

It was not until this place officially became a quiet bedroom that Kangxi ordered people to pave it.

Kangxi didn't think about the issue of floor heating when he asked people to repair Jingxiu Palace. It wasn't until he saw how afraid Jinghao was of the cold in winter that he realized that floor heating had to be pretended.

Because even if you can burn charcoal for heating throughout the past winter, no matter how good the quality charcoal is, it will still make people feel stuffy after burning for a long time, and it is not as convenient to use as floor heating.

So taking advantage of the time when he was going to Nanyuan, Kangxi simply asked people to install floor heating for Jingxiu Palace, so that it can still be used now, let alone this winter.

"I haven't thanked the emperor properly yet." After Jinghao got up, she leaned towards Kangxi subconsciously, "Not only did I get someone to install floor heating for me, but I even sent Eunuch Wei to deliver something to me today."

To be honest, although she was not the only concubine in Nanyuan, there were not many people, so Jing Hao spent the half month very comfortably.

But now that she has returned to the Forbidden City, a place that eats people, Jing Hao originally thought that it would be impossible for her to be as comfortable as before.

Who knew that when he woke up, he would receive a gift sent by someone from Kangxi. He had asked Liang Jiugong to prepare honey grapefruit tea for her at the family banquet just now, and now he even accompanied her back to Jingxiu Palace.

There is one thing to say, Jing Hao is indeed a little moved.

Although Jinghao only expressed her gratitude, Kangxi has been with her for a long time, and naturally learned to observe his words and expressions, and it can be seen that she is more than grateful to him.

But Kangxi didn't expose it, just smiled and said: "If you want to thank Zhen, then take good care of your baby."

Jinghao laughed as soon as she heard it: "This is no problem."

But Kangxi wanted Jinghao to take good care of her baby, and Jinghao herself wanted to take good care of her baby, but some people didn't want to.

Because Jinghao and their concubines have been living in Nanyuan with Kangxi for more than half a month, so on the second day after their return, they not only have to go to Chengqian Palace to pay respects to Concubine Tong Jia, but also to go to Compassion Ning Palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager Greetings from the Empress Dowager.

Originally, Jing Hao thought that in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, everyone would always be more polite in front of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, in order to create the illusion of harmony and harmony.

But Jinghao didn't expect that not long after her butt sat down, Concubine Tong Jia attacked her.

Of course, since Jinghao is pregnant now, it is natural that Concubine Tong Jia would not be in a storm as soon as she came up, but switched to another style.

First, congratulate the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager who are about to mention her great-grandson/grandson in front of everyone, and then praise Jing for being a hero: "...Sister Dai Jia can spread good news again in such a short period of time. Undoubtedly a joyous thing to do, but…”

Jinghao cared when Concubine Tong Jia mentioned herself for no reason, especially when she heard her praise herself, to be honest, she didn't feel flattered at all, but was waiting for her move.

Sure enough, Jing Hao waited for a "but" all of a sudden.

As we all know, what is said before "but" is meaningless, because the emphasis is on "but".

"The concubine knows that sister Dai Jia may be because she is young and ignorant, but only the emperor can ride on the dragon chariot. Yesterday the emperor saw that sister Dai Jia was pregnant and you just happened to be going to Jingxiu Palace, so You are only allowed to ride together."

"But the emperor hangs down on you, so you don't want to be pampered."

"In the past, Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty loved his concubine Ban Jieyu. In order to keep her inseparable, he specially invited her to go out with her in the car, but Ban Jieyu justly refused. , the last lord of the three dynasties has a concubine, and now wants to share the same chariot, is there no similarity ([-])?"

"Look at Ban Jieyu in the past and then look at you, sister Dai Jia, alas..."

In front of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, she was compared by Concubine Tong Jia to Jinghao, the three disaster-stricken Jinghao, Yuxi, Daji and Baosi: "...???"

It doesn't matter what is insignificant.

The important thing is that she wants to call her a mouthful now.
