[Comprehensive Wear] A good brother's life

Concubine Rong often took the third elder brother to Jingren Palace to play with Xiao Yinzhen, which made the brotherhood between the third elder brother and Xiao Yinzhen better and better.

The third elder brother would urge Concubine Rong to take him to find the fourth brother after breakfast every day.It's not every day the brothers catch butterflies, either.Xiao Yinzhen is learning Chinese and Mongolian, and the third elder brother is learning with him.

Little Yinzhen is not a real child, so he learned Mongolian very quickly.And the third elder brother is a real child, and his speed of learning Mongolian is not inferior to that of Xiao Yinzhen.

The third elder brother is the most educated among all the sons of Kangxi. Although he has not grown up yet, he has already shown his talent at a young age.

Xiao Yinzhen felt that if he was a real child, he would definitely not be as good as the third elder brother.

Every day after Xiao Yinzhen finished his breakfast, the third elder brother would come to see him. Afterwards, they would go to Shoukang Palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.

During this period, Concubine Tong and Concubine Rong often took Xiao Yinzhen and Yinzhi to Shoukang Palace.

When the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager first returned to the palace, Concubine Tong Guifei did not immediately take Xiao Yinzhen to Shoukang Palace to greet the Queen Mother, but waited for a while before taking Xiao Yinzhen there.

Concubine Tong took Xiao Yinzhen to Shoukang Palace to pay her respects every day, in the name of cultivating a relationship with the fifth elder brother, and it was Kangxi's order.

The empress dowager also hoped that Xiao Yinzhen and Yinzhi could play with the fifth elder brother, and welcomed them very much.

The fifth elder brother also likes Xiao Yinzhen and Yinzhi very much, and it is very happy to play with them.

The empress dowager was very moved and pleased when she learned that Xiao Yinzhen and Yinzhi had specially learned Mongolian in order to play with the fifth elder brother.

Xiao Yinzhen and Yinzhi played with the fifth elder brother and taught the fifth elder brother Manchu by the way.Although the fifth elder brother is not as smart as Xiao Yinzhen and Yinzhi, and his speed of learning Manchu is very slow, he can speak some Manchu now and understand some.

Seeing Concubine Tong and Concubine Rong taking Xiao Yinzhen and Yinzhi to play with the fifth elder brother, Yipin doubted their purpose at first, but later found that they did nothing, just let the three children play together , I felt relieved.At the same time, she is grateful to Concubine Tong and the others.

By the time Concubine Tong and Concubine Rong took Xiao Yinzhen and Yinzhen to Shoukang Palace, Concubine Yi had already arrived.

When Xiao Yinzhen and Yinzhi saw the fifth elder brother, they took him to the courtyard of Shoukang Palace to play.Three little guys are playing spinning tops in the yard.

Concubine Tong, Concubine Rong, and Concubine Yi sat in the hall, chatting with the Empress Dowager.

Although the empress dowager can't speak Manchu, the nuns around her can and will act as interpreters for them.

Concubine Tong Gui could understand and speak Mongolian, but she didn't show it.

The Empress Dowager is still very happy to have Concubine Tong and the others accompany her to talk with her every day.

The other concubines went to Shoukang Palace to pay their respects every day when they saw Concubine Tong Gui, and they also went to Shoukang Palace to pay their respects.The empress dowager doesn't like concubines coming to pay her respects every day, sometimes it will be very noisy if there are too many people.The empress dowager has been living a simple and peaceful life in Shoukang Palace, neither likes nor wants to get involved in the struggle of the harem.

Concubine Tong saw that other concubines also came to Shoukang Palace to pay their respects, so she never went to Shoukang Palace again, unless it was a day of greetings.Although she and Concubine Rong no longer go to Shoukang Palace, Xiao Yinzhen and Yinzhi still go to Shoukang Palace every day to play with the fifth elder brother.

At the beginning, the Empress Dowager had some doubts about Concubine Tong and the others going to Shoukang Palace every day, thinking that Concubine Tong and the others had some intentions, but after seeing Concubine Tong and the others did not go to Shoukang Palace again, the doubts in her heart disappeared.

Xiao Yinzhen and Yinzhi went to Shoukang Palace to play with the fifth elder brother every day, and the relationship between the three brothers became better and better.

The empress dowager was also happy when she saw the three little guys having fun in the Shoukang Palace every day.

When Kangxi saw that Xiao Yinzhen and his three brothers were playing well, he was also pleased and happy.As a father, I naturally hope that my children can love each other.

The Empress Dowager was not happy with Xiao Yinzhen and the three of them playing together, but Xiao Yinzhen and the others were still young, so she didn't do anything.After she returned to the palace, nothing major happened.However, every time it is the day of greetings, I will preach to some concubines.Except Niu Hulu, all concubines have been criticized by her.

Concubine Tong didn't care about the empress dowager's preaching, and let her old man say that anyway, she would not listen to her words to interfere with the freedom of the emperor's favored concubines.

Wei Changzai was still not liked by the Empress Dowager, every time she went to pay her respects, the Empress Dowager would definitely say something about her, she dared not say anything and could only bear it silently.

As for Deguiren, the Empress Dowager didn't talk about her often, but every time she did, she would bring Si Age along to provoke the relationship between Deguiren and Concubine Tong.

Concubine Tong knew that the Empress Dowager was deliberately trying to scare her with noble people, so she ignored her.

Deguiren is a smart person, she knows in her heart that only if Concubine Tong continues to raise the fourth elder brother, the emperor will always feel guilty and sympathetic towards her, so she did not fall for the empress dowager's trick and ran against Concubine Tong.Besides, she is a little nobleman, how can she go against Concubine Tong Gui.

Today, when I went to the Compassionate Ning Palace to pay my respects, the Empress Dowager reprimanded the virtuous man, who is the biological mother of the fourth elder brother, for not caring about the fourth elder brother.She also said that although the fourth elder brother was raised by the noble concubine, as the biological mother of the fourth elder brother, she should visit the fourth elder brother more and care about the fourth elder brother.

Since that time when she told Kangxi about her "hard work", the virtuous nobleman seldom went to Jingren Palace to visit the fourth elder brother, and did not make any more clothes for the fourth elder brother.

The empress dowager asked why the virtuous man didn't visit the fourth elder brother, and whether the imperial concubine didn't allow it.The nobleman said that it had nothing to do with the imperial concubine, but that the emperor did not allow her to visit the fourth elder brother frequently.

Knowing that it was Kangxi who did not allow the nobleman to visit the fourth elder brother, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but think about it, and then she didn't say anything, and asked the concubines to step down.

After walking out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the nobleman pleaded guilty to Concubine Tong, saying that she was only grateful to Concubine Tong and had no dissatisfaction.

Concubine Tong Gui said that she knew, so that the nobles don't have to worry.

Hearing what Concubine Tong said, Degui was completely relieved in his heart.She was really afraid that if the imperial concubine believed the empress dowager's words, then everything she had done before would be in vain. Fortunately, the imperial concubine did not listen to the empress dowager's words like her.

Back at Jingren Palace, Concubine Tong and Concubine Rong were sitting on the couch drinking tea.

"Your Majesty, what exactly does the Empress Dowager want to do?" Concubine Rong frowned slightly, her face full of confusion, "Does she think the harem is not chaotic enough, she has been instigating the relationship between the concubines, especially you and the concubines?" The relationship between noble people?"

Although the Empress Dowager didn't do any major things after returning to the palace, every time she went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay her respects, she always provoked the relationship between concubines, besides Concubine Tong and Deguiren, there were concubines Hui and Wei Changzai.Every time the Empress Dowager reprimanded Wei Changzai, she would pull Concubine Hui out to teach her a lesson.At the beginning, Concubine Hui still defended Wei Changzai, but as the number of times increased, Concubine Hui gradually became dissatisfied with Wei Changzai.However, Concubine Hui was not stupid enough to drive Wei Changzai out of Yanxi Palace, after all Wei Changzai was her tool for favor.

Concubine Tong lowered her head and gently blew on the surface of the water, then took a few sips of tea gracefully.

"She has nothing to do."

"Is there nothing to do?" Concubine Rong didn't quite understand what Concubine Tong meant.

"She can't meddle too much in the affairs of the court, or the emperor will not like it, so she can only find something to do in the harem." Concubine Tong raised the corners of her mouth and smiled mockingly. It has never stopped, it is impossible for her to retire quietly like the Queen Mother."

When Concubine Rong heard what Tong Guifei said, she instantly understood what it meant.

"Aren't you afraid that the emperor will be angry if you mess up the harem?"

"The harem is in chaos, who do you think will be the first to be held accountable?"

This question made Concubine Rong startled for a while, but she quickly realized, "Your Majesty." After she finished speaking, she widened her eyes in surprise, "My Majesty, did the Empress Dowager do it on purpose?"

Concubine Tong nodded slightly: "That's right. If the palace fails to manage the harem well, the Empress Dowager just has a fair reason to seize the power to manage the harem from the palace, and then she will arrange for Niu Hulu to manage the harem."

After hearing this, Concubine Rong gasped: "The Empress Dowager is... too much." Because of the third elder brother, Concubine Rong was already full of gratitude to Concubine Tong Gui.In the past few months, the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother had a good time, and Concubine Rong naturally got close to Concubine Tong and became Concubine Tong's person, so she dared to say such a thing.In the past, she would never have dared to say that about the Empress Dowager.

"The Empress Dowager has never given up on allowing Niu Hulu to replace me." Concubine Tong sneered, "As soon as she came back, the old man asked the emperor to reward Niu Hulu on the grounds that Niu Hulu's blessing was a great achievement. The Lu clan, and Niu Hulu clan was named the noble concubine."

"What?" Concubine Rong was surprised, "Fortunately, the emperor didn't agree."

"The emperor will not agree to make Niu Hulu a noble concubine, but the Empress Dowager has never given up." In the previous life, Niu Hulu gave birth to ten elder brothers and a princess for the emperor, so the emperor made her a noble concubine, but he did not give up. She titled.Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, noble concubines have had titles, but Niu Hulu's family has not. From this, it can be seen how much the emperor doesn't like her.However, Niu Hulu died of illness not long after he was made a noble concubine. "The reason why her old man did this is to give me the crime of [improper management of the harem], so that I can justifiably seize the power to manage the harem."

"The empress dowager clearly knows your position in the emperor's heart, so why does she still target you like this?" Concubine Rong couldn't understand why the empress dowager targeted Concubine Tong so much, "Isn't she afraid of making the emperor unhappy?"

"Of course I'm not afraid, because she is the emperor's mama." Tong Guifei said in a deep tone, "She single-handedly supported the emperor to ascend the throne, and she single-handedly trained the emperor." If you are dissatisfied, you can't do anything more. "Furthermore, she is very shrewd, and she never offends the emperor's arrogance."

The emperor's rebellion is a major political event, and the empress dowager knew this very well, so after the emperor took charge, she did not intervene excessively in the management of the court.As for the affairs of the harem, as long as she didn't do too much, the emperor would usually turn a blind eye.

Besides, Kangxi also knew that if the Empress Dowager was not allowed to find something to do, she would not be able to help to intervene in the management of the court, so Kangxi didn't care much about what the Empress Dowager did in the harem.

"Your Majesty, I've wronged you so much." Alas, everyone envied the Empress Dowager for being a noble concubine, but they didn't want her to be targeted by the Empress Dowager all the time.

"It's not a grievance. After all, the emperor trusts and supports this palace." Is it wronged? It is indeed very wronged. After all, she did nothing. First, she was drugged by the empress dowager, and then she was targeted by the empress dowager in various ways.However, feeling wronged is a matter of a previous life.In this life, she will never feel wronged again.

"Fortunately, the emperor dotes on you, empress." Otherwise, the imperial concubine, empress, is really difficult to do. "Why does the Empress Dowager attach so much importance to Concubine Shu? With Concubine Shu's temperament, if she is asked to manage the harem, she will definitely make the management of the harem go crazy?"

"It's very simple. Concubine Shu was born in a Manchu surname and a famous family. She is much nobler than this palace, a member of the Han Army Banner." In fact, the Empress Dowager did not really love Niu Hulu, but Niu Hulu was her A chess piece, a chess piece to check and balance against her.

"The emperor attaches great importance to the Han army flag. In addition, the emperor has half of Han blood. The empress dowager looks down on the Han army flag. Have you ever thought about the emperor's feelings?"

Concubine Tong Guifei heard what Concubine Rong said, and said with deep meaning: "The emperor's biological mother is long gone."

When Concubine Rong heard this, she didn't think much about it.

"Oh, what the empress dowager really does..." was incomprehensible.

"This palace has long been used to it." There was one thing that she didn't investigate clearly.If she investigates clearly, she can completely bring down the Empress Dowager.

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Rong looked a little hesitant, she didn't know whether to speak or not.

Seeing Concubine Rong's hesitant to speak expression, Concubine Tong smiled gently at her: "Say what you have to say."

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has been instigating the relationship between the noble man and you, are you planning to do nothing?"

"what do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, I can see that you like the fourth elder brother very much, and you also regard the fourth elder brother as your own. Haven't you thought about formally adopting the fourth elder brother?" Concubine Rong said, "Although you are raising the fourth elder brother now, but It has not been officially confirmed, maybe one day the Empress Dowager will let the fourth elder brother return to the nobleman's side."

"I've thought about it." Concubine Tong knew that Concubine Rong was really thinking about her before she said this, "Of course I want the fourth brother to be officially recorded in my name, but the Empress Dowager will not agree." , so this matter can only be planned slowly.”

"You tell the emperor, the emperor should agree." Concubine Rong said, "The concubine thinks that as long as the emperor agrees, it will be fine."

"The emperor should agree, but the empress dowager will strongly object, and the emperor can't ignore what the empress dowager said." Concubine Tong sighed quietly, "Besides, the rebellion has not been put down yet, so it's not the time to mention this matter .”

Only then did Concubine Rong remember the matter of the rebellion, "You are right, it is really not easy to mention this matter now that the rebellion is still pending."

"When the rebellion is quelled, I will bring this matter up to the emperor and see how the emperor will behave." After a while, the rebellion will be completely quelled, and when the emperor is in a good mood, she will bring up this matter.

"I don't know when the rebellion will be put down?" Concubine Rong said with a sad face, "The Chinese New Year will be over in a month." The rebellion has been going on all these years, making people panic, and the emperor is also troubled by this matter.

"It should be soon." It is now the end of October, and the rebellion will be completely suppressed after a while.

Afterwards, the two of them stopped talking about the Empress Dowager, and chatted about other things.

At this time, Xiao Yinzhen and Yinzhi were in Shoukang Palace.They and the fifth elder brother were playing games with the queen mother, playing games played by Mongolian children.
