[Comprehensive Wear] A good brother's life

Concubine Rong took the third elder brother to play in Jingren Palace for an hour and then went back.Before leaving, the fourth elder brother and the third elder brother made an appointment to catch butterflies together in the Imperial Garden tomorrow morning.

On the way back to Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Rong did not carry the third elder brother back, but led the third elder brother to walk slowly.

"Yinzhi, do you like to play with the fourth elder brother?"

Yinzhi grabbed Concubine Rong's hand with his small hand, and nodded his head vigorously: "I like it, the fourth brother can catch butterflies, he is very good."

Children's friendship is so simple, a butterfly can make two children play together and have a great time.

"Er Niang, I will also catch a big butterfly tomorrow."

Seeing that her son just played with the fourth elder brother for an hour, not only had a great time playing, but also became more active, Concubine Rong was very relieved, and at the same time regretted that she was really too frightened before, no wonder she was blamed by the emperor.

"When you get back to Zhongcui Palace, Er Niang will ask someone to make you a catching net, so that you can catch big butterflies tomorrow."

"Thank you, Erniang." Thinking of catching a big butterfly tomorrow, Yinzhi's little face is full of joy and anticipation.

"Yinzhi, you like to play with the fourth elder brother, Er Niang will take you to play with the fourth elder brother every day, okay?"

"Okay." Yinzhi said with bright eyes, "I like to play with my fourth brother."

"Yinzhi, what do you want for dinner tonight?"

"The fourth brother said egg custard is delicious, I want to eat egg custard."

"Okay, let's have egg custard tonight."

In Jingren Palace, Xiao Yinzhen was sitting on the couch, lying on a small table drinking milk tea.

Tong Guifei sat across from him, embroidering a handkerchief.The cloth in her hand was bright yellow, obviously she was embroidering a handkerchief for Kangxi.

Her female celebrity is not bad, but compared with the embroiderers in the palace, her female celebrity is much worse, so she usually only makes handkerchiefs or sachets for the emperor, and does not make clothes for the emperor.

After playing with Yinzhi for an hour, Xiao Yinzhen was hungry and thirsty.While drinking milk tea, he ate the fragrant and soft Sachima.

Concubine Tong Guifei saw that Xiao Yinzhen's little mouth was full of crumbs of Shaqima, she stopped what she was doing, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped the corners of his mouth.

"Did you have fun with Brother San?"

Xiao Yinzhen's mouth was full of Shaqima, and his little faces were bulging, and his appearance was very cute.Hearing Concubine Tong's question, he nodded his head lightly.After finishing the Shaqima in his mouth, he said, "Not bad."

"Not bad?" Concubine Tong couldn't help laughing when she heard Xiao Yinzhen say that, "Why is it not bad, Er Niang saw that you had a good time with the third elder brother this afternoon?"

"That's what I let the third brother." Xiao Yinzhen tilted his head and said, "Khan Ama is right, the third brother is very timid, he is even afraid of butterflies."

"Brother San is afraid of butterflies, so why did I make an appointment with you to catch butterflies tomorrow?"

"Third brother was afraid at first, but later on he wasn't afraid anymore." Xiao Yinzhen finished a plate of Shaqima, took a towel from Qingbi's hand and wiped his mouth and hands, "However, third brother has a little good."

After hearing this, Concubine Tong asked curiously, "What's good about the third elder brother?"

"Third brother likes the butterfly I caught very much, but he didn't snatch it from me, which is good." Xiao Yinzhen nodded like a grown-up.

Concubine Tong was amused by Xiao Yinzhen's satisfied tone, "If Third Elder Brother snatches butterflies from you, what are you going to do?"

"Of course I won't give it to him." Xiao Yinzhen said straightforwardly, "This is a butterfly that I have worked so hard to catch, so I won't give it to the third brother. Besides, the third brother is a big brother, and a big brother How can you steal my brother's things?"

"What if Brother San is crying and begging for your butterfly?"

"Then I won't give it either." Xiao Yinzhen twitched her mouth and said, "If he cries for it, then I will cry too."

Xiao Yinzhen's answer was beyond Concubine Tong's expectations, she thought that Xiao Yinzhen would give the butterfly to the third elder brother, but she didn't expect the child to say that he was crying too.I really didn't see that this kid also has a domineering side.

"Emiang, you won't let me give the butterfly to third brother, will you?" Xiao Yinzhen asked nervously.

"No, Erniang won't force you to give up the things you like to others." Concubine Tong looked at Xiao Yinzhen lovingly, and said in a serious tone, "Yinzhen, if you have two butterflies, give one as a gift." Is it okay to give the third elder brother a butterfly?"

"Yes, I have two butterflies, and I will definitely give one to my third brother." Xiao Yinzhen said very generously, "However, I only have one butterfly now, so I can't give it to my third brother. If I catch it tomorrow, I will give it to my third brother." □The third brother has many, then I will give the third brother a few."

Hearing Xiao Yinzhen's generous words, Concubine Tong touched his small forehead with her hand, and praised him: "Our Yinzhen is so obedient and generous."

Xiao Yinzhen who was praised laughed twice: "Thank you for the compliment."

Concubine Tong watched Xiao Yinzhen finish his snacks, then put down her embroidery work and continued teaching him Chinese.

In the evening, Kangxi in Qianqing Palace finished his business and went to Yanxi Palace.

Wei often lives in the side hall of Yanxi Palace.The main hall of the Yanxi Palace is inhabited by Concubine Hui, who is also the eldest brother's biological mother.

Concubine Hui was old and decrepit, and she was not favored in the early years, but because she had an elder brother, Kangxi would visit her once a month.In addition, You Wei was often in the Palace of Yanxi Palace, and Kangxi often came to sit with her.

Wei Chang had dressed up early in the morning, and was waiting for Kangxi's holy car with Concubine Hui in the main hall of Yanxi Palace.After waiting for a long time, Kangxi did not arrive, which made the two of them very puzzled.

Concubine Hui sent the eunuchs beside her to investigate to see if the emperor was still in the Qing Palace.

At this time, in Jingren Palace, Concubine Tong Guifei was having dinner with Yinzhen.

Liang Shengrong suddenly walked into the dining hall from the outside, first saluted Concubine Tong Gui, and then said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the emperor has diverted to Yikun Palace."

Concubine Tong Gui was feeding Yinzhen soup, when she heard Liang Shengrong's words, she paused slightly, and then said casually, "Didn't the emperor turn over Wei Changzai's brand tonight?"

Liang Shengrong said: "The emperor originally planned to go to Yanxi Palace, but he didn't expect to change his way to Yikun Palace when he got halfway."

While drinking the soup, Xiao Yinzhen pricked up his two little ears to listen to the harem's gossip.

Concubine Tong scooped up another spoonful of soup, blew it first, and then fed it to Xiao Yinzhen's mouth.

"What happened to Concubine Yi?" The master of Yikun Palace is Concubine Yi.

Liang Shengrong bowed his waist and said: "I said it was uncomfortable, but the slave looked at Yipin and did not ask for the imperial doctor." After finishing speaking, he hesitated for a while, and continued, "My lady, Yipin repeatedly intercepted Hu Weichang. , aren’t you afraid of making the Emperor unhappy?”

"Concubine Yi has such a temperament, she can't see Wei Chang climbing on her head." Concubine Tong couldn't see the purpose of concubine Yi, "If the emperor really got annoyed with concubine Yi, he wouldn't go to Yikun Palace instead. "

"Your Majesty, tomorrow is the day to greet Concubine Tong. Concubine Hui will sue you again." The tenth and twentieth of every month are the days when concubines in the harem pay their respects to Concubine Tong Gui.

Concubine Tong doesn't like concubines in the harem coming to Jingren Palace every day to pay their respects, and she doesn't like watching concubines in the harem fighting each other every day.Besides, she doesn't need to use the harem concubines to invite An Liwei to her every day.

The reason why the day of greetings is set on the tenth and twentieth day of the lunar month is because it has to be separated from the day of greeting the empress dowager.The first and fifteenth days of every month are the days to greet the Empress Dowager.

"It's not that this palace has never said about Concubine Yi. This matter mainly depends on the emperor." After feeding Xiao Yinzhen and drinking the soup, Concubine Tong wiped the corners of his mouth with a towel, "If the emperor doesn't want to go to Yikun Palace Concubine Yi can't stop her. Let them make trouble." As long as the concubines in the harem don't cause trouble, Concubine Tong usually turns a blind eye to their tricks.

"Mother, I want to eat shrimp."

"Okay, my mother will peel it off for you."

Wang Momo hurriedly said: "Madam, the servant will peel the shrimp for the fourth elder brother."

"No need." Concubine Tong picked up a shrimp and peeled the shrimp for Xiao Yinzhen herself.

Seeing Concubine Tong Guifei peeling the prawns for the fourth elder brother herself, Wang Momo was naturally very surprised, but she didn't dare to say anything.

After Tong Guifei peeled the prawns, she fed them to Xiao Yinzhen herself.

Xiao Yinzhen was full after eating two bowls of rice, and didn't eat any more.At this time, Concubine Tong Guifei was eating.

Liang Shengrong came in again, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has left Yikun Palace for Yanxi Palace."

"Concubine Yi didn't keep the emperor?" Concubine Tong could imagine how angry Concubine Yi was now.

When Concubine Hui heard that the Emperor had gone to Yikun Palace halfway, she was so angry that she scolded Concubine Yi for being shameless.Wei Changzai was very calm, because this was not the first time that Yipin cut her beard.

Originally thought that the emperor would stay in Yikun Palace tonight and would not come to Yanxi Palace again, but unexpectedly, the emperor did not stay in Yikun Palace after the turn of events.

Seeing that the emperor finally came, Concubine Hui was very happy and at the same time felt very relieved.

Kangxi sat in the main hall of Concubine Hui for a while, and then went to the side hall where Wei Chang was.

Concubine Hui in the main hall, after Kangxi left, asked someone to arrange dinner quickly.She is in a good mood tonight, so she must eat more.

Concubine Yi intercepted Hu Weichang on the way, but failed to keep Kangxi. This matter spread quickly in the harem.For a moment, Yipin became the laughing stock of the entire harem.

Concubine Tong Guifei didn't care about Yipin and Wei Chang's fight for favor.After dinner, she led Xiao Yinzhen for a walk in the yard to digest food.While walking, she taught Xiao Yinzhen Chinese and "San Zi Jing" at the same time.

After the walk, Concubine Tong continued to embroider handkerchiefs for Kangxi, and Xiao Yinzhen sat opposite Concubine Tong, playing with puzzle pictures.

"Er Niang, is there any more fun toy?" Jiu Lianhuan and puzzle pictures are really too simple.

"Aren't puzzle pictures fun?"

"Not fun."

"Tomorrow, Er Niang will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send some fun toys over."

"Thank you, Er Niang." He is too young now, and can't do other things except play.I want to read to pass the time, but Tong Guifei has not taught him how to read.

Children get sleepy quickly, and Xiao Yinzhen became sleepy after playing for a while, and yawned several times with his mouth open.

Seeing that he was sleepy, Concubine Tong asked Nanny Feng to carry him down to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, when the time of day arrived, the concubines from the harem came to Jingren Palace one after another.

Unfavored concubines came to Jingren Palace earlier, especially the concubines who had served in bed before.If it weren't for the fact that there were only two days to pay respects every month, these concubines would have wished to come to Jingren Palace every day to pay respects to the noble concubines and empresses.

For these unfavored concubines, everything in Jingren Palace is good, even the tea is the best.

Concubines are not favored, so naturally they can't get any good tea.The tea I drink is all old tea. If you come to the imperial concubine, you can drink a cup of good tea, among other things.

After a while, Chang Zai and the nobleman arrived one after another.

The virtuous nobleman came to Jingren Palace first without accompanying Concubine Xi.

Seeing the virtuous person, the concubines saluted her one after another, and even flattered her.

Although the nobleman came from a humble background like them, she gave birth to the fourth elder brother in spite of her stomach.Even though she is not qualified to raise the fourth elder brother now, she is the biological mother of the fourth elder brother.Based on this, the status of noble people is the highest among all noble people.

In the face of everyone's compliments and flattery, the nobleman's attitude is very humble and docile, without any airs.Not only that, she also asked with concern how these unfavored concubines are doing.

Seeing that the virtuous lady has no airs at all, and is so kind and approachable, the concubines have a better impression of her.

The virtuous man looks gentle, treats others mildly, acts low-key, and makes a very good impression on everyone in the harem.Even Kangxi thought she was gentle and submissive.

Chang Zai and the nobles are all here, but Wei Chang Zai has not yet arrived.

For Wei Changzai, all the concubines are very jealous.

Wei Changzai was born in Xinzheku, the lowest family background among all the concubines, but she is one of the most favored concubines in the harem.

With her beautiful appearance and pure temperament, she is very favored by the emperor.In just two years, she was promoted from a lowly maidservant of Xinzheku to a permanent presence.If it hadn't been for the empress dowager to suppress her, she might have already become a noble person.Fortunately, she has not yet conceived a dragon heir. If she gives birth to a prince, she will definitely be made a concubine by the emperor.

Before Wei Changzai arrived, the concubines started talking about her.

The virtuous man did not join them, and sat on the side drinking tea quietly, listening to the sour words of these people quietly.For Wei Changzai, noble people are naturally jealous, but jealousy is useless, after all, no one in this palace can have Wei Changzai's alluring appearance.Besides, instead of being jealous of Wei Changzai, it's better to think about how he is favored.

After a while, Concubine Rong arrived, she was the first among the four concubines to come to Jingren Palace.

Seeing Concubine Rong, the virtuous and the others saluted one after another.Many people began to curry favor with Concubine Rong.

Although Concubine Rong is not very favored, she has three elder brothers and three princesses, and is the only concubine in the palace who has both children.With the third elder brother and the third princess around, Concubine Rong will not fall out of favor.Furthermore, the emperor often went to Zhongcui Palace to visit the third elder brother and the third princess.

The concubines knew that the emperor had gone to Zhongcui Palace yesterday morning, but at night they turned over Wei Changzai's signboard, and someone complained for Concubine Rong, saying that Wei Changzai had seduced the emperor.

Regarding these words, Concubine Rong just smiled and didn't care.

After a while, Concubine Xi and Concubine Yi arrived.

The virtuous and the others saw that Yipin's complexion was not good, so they didn't say anything about Wei Chang's presence.Of course they all knew what happened last night, and secretly laughed at Yibi.Now that Concubine Yi is here, they don't have the courage to laugh at Concubine Yi face to face, nor do they have the courage to make Concubine Yi unhappy.

Concubine Yi was born noble, with bright looks, she was a nobleman as soon as she entered the palace, and not long after she gave birth to her fifth elder brother and was named Concubine Yi, her temper was a bit arrogant.The concubines in the harem didn't dare to provoke her, because it would be very bad to provoke her.

Although Xi Concubine is also a concubine, she has not been favored for a long time.In front of Yipin, she did not dare to be arrogant, let alone provoke Yipin.Annoyed Yipin, she is very vicious when she picks up people, and she will lose face at all.Concubine Xi had experienced it before, so she did not dare to provoke Concubine Yi lightly.

The originally lively atmosphere suddenly became very quiet because of Yipin's arrival.

"Sister Rongpin, didn't the emperor go to Zhongcui Palace yesterday morning?" After losing her face last night, Yipin was furious. First find someone else to spread the flames, "Why didn't the emperor turn over your brand last night?"

Although Concubine Rong has a gentle temper, it does not mean that she is a soft persimmon.When she heard Yipin say that, she didn't know that Yipin was venting her anger.

"Didn't the emperor go to your Yikun Palace yesterday? Why didn't you keep the emperor?"

Concubine Yi didn't expect Concubine Rong to insult her so directly, she choked with anger, "I didn't feel well yesterday and couldn't serve the emperor, so naturally I won't keep the emperor."

Concubine Rong glanced at Concubine Yi who had a rosy face, and said in a meaningful tone: "I see my sister has a ruddy complexion and is full of energy, she doesn't look uncomfortable."

Yipin was about to say something when she heard Huipin's voice not far away.

"My sisters are here, is Bengong late?"

The virtuous and the others hurriedly got up to greet Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui was in a good mood today, and asked the noble and the others to get up very gently.

Wei Changzai, who was by her side, saluted Virtuous Lady and Concubine Rong one by one.

Seeing Wei Changzai, Yipin's eyes were about to burst into flames, and said coldly: "Wei Changzai is really good." Last night, the emperor went to her place, but the emperor was still hooked by Wei Changzai up.

Wei Changzai looked terrified, "Slave..."

Concubine Hui raised her hand and gently patted her arm, and looked at Concubine Yi mockingly: "Sister Yipin, I heard that you were not feeling well last night, so I specially asked the emperor to visit you, why are you sitting in such a good spirit today? Here, I thought you were too sick to get out of bed?"

"Greetings to the imperial concubine today, I will naturally come to pay my respects." Yi Concubine glanced at Hui Concubine coldly, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Sister Hui Concubine is very capable, she taught Wei Changzai so well."

"I don't have the skills of my sister Yipin. Every time the emperor turns over the sign that Wei is often in, sister Yipin, you are uncomfortable here or there." Last night, the emperor finally came to Yanxi Palace and left Yipin. This made Concubine Hui feel very happy, "Sister Yipin, it's really time for you to feel uncomfortable."

"This palace is not as good as my sister, and I am not favored, so I use Wei Changzai to compete for favor." Facing Huibi's irony, Yipin was not afraid at all, and turned back very sharply, "Thanks to Yanxi Palace Wei Chang is here, otherwise he will become a limbo."

Being said so unceremoniously by Yipin, Huipin's face darkened immediately with anger, "Hmph, it's better than inviting the emperor with the excuse that you are not feeling well, but you still haven't kept the emperor. Like you You always ask the emperor to visit you when you are not feeling well, the emperor is wise and tired of your routine, do you only feel uncomfortable?"

"you……"

Today, Concubine Hui's mouth is particularly sharp, and Concubine Yi, who is so eloquent, is speechless.

Concubine Rong drank tea leisurely, watching Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi quarrel with cold eyes.

Concubine Xi also sat on the sidelines watching the play and did not join in the quarrel between Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi.As for the other concubines, they remained silent.

Wei Changzai, who provoked the dispute between Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi, did not dare to say a word, and desperately reduced his sense of existence.

Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi were arguing fiercely, Concubine Tong heard it before she even showed up.

"Your Majesty, Empress Hui Concubine and Empress Yi Concubine are arguing again."

"The two of them don't quarrel when they see each other." Concubine Tong looked at the time and said, "Let's go."

"The imperial concubine is here."

Concubine Rong and the others hurriedly knelt down to salute, "Concubine concubine pays her respects to the imperial concubine and empress."

"The servant greets the imperial concubine and empress."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Concubine."

Concubine Hui is the first seat to the right of Concubine Tong, and Concubine Rong is the first seat to the left.

Next to Concubine Rong is Concubine Yi.Next to Hui concubine is Xi concubine.Next to Xi Concubine is a noble man.

Seeing Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui flushed with anger, Concubine Tong shook her head helplessly in her heart.

"Wei is always here."

Wei Changzai hurriedly stood up and saluted: "The servant is here."

"Why did you come here? Didn't the emperor spare you to greet him?" Early this morning, Liu Jinzhong came over and said that the emperor excused Wei Changzai from greeting him.

"Your servant is fine." Wei Changzai lowered his head, his voice was gentle and respectful, "I haven't seen the imperial concubine for a long time, so I want to come to pay my respects to the imperial concubine."

"Wei Chang has a heart." Concubine Tong pointed to the seat, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Concubine."

Yipin pursed her lips and said, "Who's pretending to show?" The reason why Yipin went to cut off the beard last night was mainly because she couldn't accept that Wei Changzai was the second bedside attendant.She felt that she should be the second bed attendant, but she didn't want Wei Changzai, how could she swallow this tone, so she repeated the same trick to intercept the emperor.

Seeing that the emperor changed the way to see her, she felt very proud, she never thought that the emperor would leave after seeing her and go to Yanxi Palace.

"Concubine Yi, I heard that you are not feeling well, how are you doing now, are you feeling better?"

"Imperial Concubine, Concubine Yi has a heart disease, I'm afraid it will never get better." Concubine Hui began to mock again, "As long as the emperor turns over Wei Changzai's sign, sister Yipin will feel uncomfortable."

Concubine Yi glared fiercely, then stood up and blessed Concubine Tong: "Thank you for your concern, concubine's body is fine."

Concubine Tong slightly nodded to Yipin, and then talked about the Empress Dowager and the others going back to the palace.

"The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are about to return to the palace, Yipin, you will be able to see Fifth Elder Brother by then."

Hearing this, Yipin's expression became excited and joyful: "Madam, the Queen Mother and the others are really coming back?" Not long after Yipin gave birth to fifth elder brother, she gave her son to the Queen Mother to raise.Last year, the Empress Dowager followed the Empress Dowager to pray for blessings, and also took the fifth elder brother away.Having not seen her son for nearly half a year, Yipin was very concerned about her.

"The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are already on their way back to the palace, and will arrive in the Forbidden City in a few days."

"Great."

Concubine Tong talked about the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager's return to the palace, Concubine Rong and the others listened very seriously.

"You also know that the Empress Dowager doesn't like jealousy among concubines." Concubine Tong glanced at the concubines present, her tone full of warning, "When the Empress Dowager comes back, you'd better restrain yourself."

"Imperial Concubine, you should tell Sister Yipin, she likes to be jealous most of the time."

"Concubine Hui, aren't you jealous?"

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Concubine Tong Guifei said in a deep voice, "You have to quarrel outside, not in Jingren Palace in this palace."

Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi immediately stopped arguing and became quiet.

Tong Guifei warned Yipin and the others again, and then told them to retreat.

Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi quarreled again after leaving Jingren Palace, and Concubine Rong finally couldn't stand it anymore and spoke to persuade the two of them.

Virtuous Lady walked out of Jingren Palace, and when the other concubines, especially Concubine Xi, were gone, she immediately returned to Jingren Palace.
