The style of the Queen Mother in Qing Dynasty is different

The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet in Kangxi's 21st year ended early.

Qiqige didn't get a job opportunity, and the concubines were too disappointing. They only knew how to compete for favor, but didn't know how to dig money from the emperor.

Or maybe, it's not that they don't know how to dig money, they just don't want to give the money to Qiqige.

Hmph, a bunch of little stingers.

Back in Xian'an Palace, fifth elder brother still has to teach Qiqige as usual.

Qiqige rejected him decisively, what class did he take?Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, how can we go to class during the festival?Is this worthy of the moon on August [-]th?

I can't go to class tomorrow, because the moon on the fifteenth is only full on the sixteenth!Tomorrow we have to watch the moon!

Qiqige launched a trick to drive Fifth Brother away, and slept comfortably.Nights without study are so peaceful and quiet!

The next morning, Qiqige was still asleep. She vaguely heard someone talking and opened her eyes in a daze.

"Aruna, who is outside?"

Aruna quickly agreed outside the door, and came in after a while.

She helped Qiqige get up, and helped her put on her clothes, "Queen Mother, Concubine Tong sent the maid over just now, did the two of us wake you up by talking?"

Qiqige yawned, "No, it's almost time to get up."

The maids came forward to help Qiqige wash up, and when they were about to comb Qiqige's hair, Qiqige kicked them out.

"Let's all go out! It's enough for Aruna to stay here, and I can't breathe if you all surround me here." Qiqige handed the comb to Aruna, "comb two braids, simply coil them up, Don't have to comb those complicated hairstyles."

The maids obeyed the orders and went out obediently.Aruna took the comb and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, it is not the same as before. I remember that when I first entered the palace, everyone was the same simple, with simple hairstyles. Now it is different. The women in the palace are full of pearls and emeralds. The more complicated the bun, the better. You are always afraid that the servant will be tired, and you will not allow the servant to work. It has been a long time since the servant has combed your hair. Recently, the servant has specially learned a few new hairstyles, do you want to try it?"

Qiqige casually took out a hairpin from the dressing box and played with it in her hand. She smiled and said, "Don't you know me yet? I'm most afraid of trouble! If it weren't for the rules in the palace, I would like to cut my hair If it’s too short, it’s good to have a short braid every day!”

She turned around and looked up at Aruna, "Don't act like you don't know what I'm thinking, you didn't finish your sentence just now, what did Concubine Tong's maid come to Xian'an Palace?"

Speaking of Concubine Tong, the smile on Aruna's face faded. "Concubine Tong is pregnant, so I sent a maid to announce the good news. The servant prepared a gift, and it has now been delivered to Concubine Tong's palace."

Qiqige said: "She has been in the palace for many years, and now she finally got her wish."

Qi Qige tricked Concubine Tong into teaching. At that time, the banner was to get in touch with the superstitious theory that children can recruit children.Now that Concubine Tong is finally pregnant, Qiqige can shamelessly say that she did not make false claims!

Aruna dipped some sweet-scented osmanthus oil on the comb, so that combing her hair can not only make the hair docile and maintain the hair, but also make the hair smell of sweet-scented osmanthus.

Aruna said: "It is indeed a good thing that Concubine Tong is pregnant, but she is too public. You were still sleeping just now, but her maid ignored you and woke you up by talking so loudly. She seems to want to rush into you It's maddening to tell you this news from your bedroom."

Qiqige hugged Aruna's waist with a smile, "My Aruna, don't be angry. Her master is finally pregnant, and she is also happy. It is not a big mistake to forget the etiquette for a while."

Aruna supported Qiqige's shoulders to make her turn back, so that it was convenient to comb her hair.

"There are no outsiders in the left and right rooms, and the servant said a few presumptuous words. The servant looks down on Concubine Tong's character. She is now nearly five months pregnant, and she is hiding it tightly enough, as if someone will harm her and the child. "

Qiqige defended her No. [-] coolie, "Of course you have to be more careful when it comes to pregnancy and childbirth. There is nothing wrong with being careful!"

At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet yesterday, the pregnancy of the two sisters, Yipin, attracted everyone's attention.It will not be very conspicuous if there is another happy news from Concubine Tong today.

Aruna sneered and said, "Don't be fooled by her, the Queen Mother. I think she has a kind face and a hard heart. Concubine Tong knew that she was pregnant a long time ago, and she has been very indifferent to the fourth elder brother recently. With the emperor and you present, she treats the fourth elder brother Brother is very considerate and caring. When you all left, she was very indifferent to Brother Si. She was hot and cold, hurting Brother Si very much."

Qiqige frowned, "You didn't lie at the gate of Concubine Tong's palace and listen to the corner, how did you know so clearly?"

Aruna said: "How could such dirty things reach the ears of the master? I heard other court ladies and eunuchs say it in private. Not only that, I also bumped into it twice! Concubine Tong is honest when she sees me, The speed at which the face changed was astonishing.”

Aruna is a cautious person, if it was just a rumor, she would not tell Qiqige.

After the braid was done, Aruna chose a peony made of gold and inserted it obliquely in her hair. The stamen of the peony was covered with fine red gemstones, which shone brightly in the sun.

Aruna put down her comb and let out a long sigh, "Your Majesty trusts Concubine Tong, and entrusted the fourth prince to be raised by Concubine Tong. Although the slave has seen Concubine Tong's true face, he can't help the fourth prince. It's fine, we Xian'an Palace can't do anything about it." Robbing the child from Concubine Tong! It's not justified!"

Qiqige still couldn't believe it, "I think I'm pretty good at judging people! Concubine Tong is very good to every child in the school. She has raised the fourth elder brother for so many years, so she must have deep feelings. How could she Is it bad for the fourth elder brother?"

Aruna said: "I didn't have a biological child before, and Concubine Tong was counting on the fourth elder brother! Can you treat him badly? You also know how strict she is to the fourth elder brother! There is another reason, and that is the fight for favor Seeing that she is honest and obeying the rules, De Concubine has deep thoughts. She bends down and is willing to bow down in front of Concubine Tong. She flatters Concubine Tong. Concubine Tong thought she was honest and was willing to help her. Now that Concubine De has given birth to two princes, her waist has become a little stiffer, and she secretly meets with Si elder brother in private to ask her how she is. Concubine De walked closer, and Concubine Tong knew about it."

Aruna brewed a bowl of ginger jujube tea and served it to Qiqige, Qiqige was thinking about the matter while drinking the tea.

"I think that although Concubine Tong is at fault, she is not guilty of a heinous crime." Qi Qige put down the tea bowl and said, "Think about it! No matter whether she really loves the fourth elder brother or pretends to love her, how much effort she has put into raising the fourth elder brother over the years Concubine De is the biological mother of the fourth elder brother. She has taken refuge in Concubine Tong again. If she wants to get close to the child, she can just say so! Stopping her, as if refusing to let the fourth elder brother get close to his biological mother."

After hearing Qiqige's words, Aruna also nodded, "Yes! It is natural for children to be close to their biological mother. Concubine Tong must feel uncomfortable seeing Si elder brother getting close to her biological mother. She thinks Debi is a white-eyed wolf, and she must It's because I'm afraid that the fourth elder brother will follow my biological mother in the future, so I'm cold and distant towards the fourth elder brother."

Qiqige picked up the tea bowl and drank the ginger jujube tea in one breath, "This is all our speculation after hearing the rumors, who knows the details. Later, I will instruct the fifth elder brother to let him I often bring my fourth elder brother to Xian'an Palace to play. The children play well, it has nothing to do with us."

Aruna nodded, "The Queen Mother is still kind."

Aruna put away the teacup, just as Qiqige was going to have breakfast, the fifth elder brother came.

Qiqige said: "You belong to Cao Cao! I just mentioned you, and you are here. Go wash your hands, there is milk porridge this morning, don't you like this?"

The fifth elder brother smiled with his small teeth like rice grains: "Grandmother, I can do milk porridge as I like, and I can teach as I like. Grandmother, today is not a holiday. Make it up!"

Qiqige: Damn, my high school class teacher is not as urgent as you.

Qiqige said: "Don't talk about teaching, let me tell you about other important matters! You will often bring your fourth brother to Xian'an Palace to play in the future, do you understand?"

Fifth Prince pouted, looking reluctant.

"Fourth brother is better at studying than me, I don't want to play with him!"

In the fifth elder brother's world, as long as he can't see people who work harder than him and are more talented than him, he is the most knowledgeable one.He didn't want to bring his fourth brother to Xian'an Palace!What if the fourth brother robs him of students?

Qiqige said seriously: "This is the order of the emperor's grandmother. Are you filial to the child? If you are filial to the child, do as the emperor's grandmother said!"

The fifth elder brother was quite obedient, "Well... that's fine! But the emperor's grandmother wants to promise me that you can't treat the fourth brother better than me."

Qiqige thought to herself, little bastard, I can treat whoever I like, don't mind your business.

But Qiqige was afraid that the fifth elder brother would be disobedient, so she nodded perfunctorily, "You just do what I say, and you are not allowed to tell your fourth brother that I ordered it, understand?"

Qiqige acted very solemnly, and the fifth elder brother also nodded very seriously, "Yinqi understands!"

For the sake of Fifth Elder Brother's obedience, Qiqige sighed and asked, "Have you brought the book? Should we study after eating, or before eating?"

Brother Wu thought about it, eating and teaching...how should I choose?

After thinking for a long time, Fifth Prince asked Qiqige: "Grandmother, can I learn while eating?"

Qiqige refused: "No! Let's eat first!"

Eating and studying at the same time, I will definitely have indigestion and foam at the mouth!

The maids cleared the table and served breakfast, and the grandparents and grandchildren ate together.In Xian'an Palace, Qiqige is the rule, she can talk when she wants to eat.

Qiqige asked fifth elder brother, "How is your mother? Do you have morning sickness?"

The fifth elder brother sighed: "I vomited so badly, the younger brother in Erniang's stomach is so naughty."

Yipin suffered from severe morning sickness, and it was the same when she was pregnant with the fifth elder brother. It may be due to her constitution.

Thinking of the child in Yipin's womb, Qiqige suddenly had a good idea.

"Yinqi! You teach well. Go and give prenatal education to your younger brother every day. Maybe my younger brother won't bother your mother after listening to the words of the sage."

The fifth elder brother thought for a while, and felt that what the emperor's grandmother said was reasonable, "That's right! Emperor's grandmother, I'm going to teach my younger brother the way of filial piety, so that he won't bother my mother!"

Qiqige waved a small handkerchief at him, "Go, go, go!"

Hey, don't go, run!
