Qing Dynasty through Sanfu Jin
Chapter 70
"Madam, Concubine Rong is here."
Wupin and Wumao had a meal together, they really didn't talk about people during the day, as soon as she mentioned Concubine Rong, the other person arrived.
Wu Bin's face darkened, "I have nothing to do with her, what is she doing here?"
The palace maid hesitated and shook her head, "I don't know, Concubine Rong only said that the weather is fine today, so come and walk around."
Looking at the gloomy sky outside through the crack of the door, the cold wind came in through the crack of the door, and she shivered from the cold.
Wu Bin snorted coldly.good weather?Concubine Rong calls this good weather?
She was blind or she was blind.
No matter who is blind, Concubine Rong's status is higher than hers, and she has to entertain Concubine Rong when she comes.
Taking a deep breath, Wu Bin gritted her teeth, "Go invite our Concubine Rong to come in."
After inviting people in, Wu Pin didn't go over to see her right away, but waited for a while, worried about making Concubine Rong angry to death before getting up.
Concubine Rong's surname is Ma Jia, and Ma Jia's family name is a common surname in Manchuria, but Concubine Rong's Ama is only a fifth-rank official.Now Concubine Rong's Ama has passed away, and her own brother is in charge of the family.The year before last, the emperor was promoted because of Concubine Rong's face, and he was added to the imperial concubine's sacrificial wine.
Guozijian Jijiu is from the fourth-rank position, and this is already the best person in Concubine Rong's natal family.
As for Wupin, her Ama is a member of the guard of the third rank.
Not only is his official position two ranks higher than Concubine Rong's natal brother, but he also has real power in his hands.
In contrast, I can only be an untitled concubine, and Ma Jia's is a concubine Rong.Wu Bin was the most unconvinced.
Concubine Rong usually has a higher status than her, and the two of them don't interact, so she can only hold back if she is not convinced, but Concubine Rong came to her territory today, which made her angry.
Thinking of this, Wu Bin felt happy for a while.Before she arrived, she laughed, "Your Majesty, forgive me, my concubine is late."
"It's all the fault of these damned slaves. The concubines have the habit of taking a lunch break, and they don't even know to report when the empress arrives."
She observed Concubine Rong carefully, thinking that Concubine Rong would be angry, but she saw Concubine Rong put down the tea cup in her hand unhurriedly.
Concubine Rong wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said generously: "It's okay, I'm a benevolent person. I've heard that you, Wubi, are angry and worried that they will be punished because of me, so I told them not to go. Announcement. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with this palace, besides, Wubi’s tea is pretty good.”
Concubine Rong's words were a pun, first she said that she was a 'charitable person', implying that Wu Concubine was unkind and liked to punish slaves.He also said that the tea here is good.
Concubine Rong is the concubine who holds power in the palace, and the imperial concubine and concubine Hui are the highest ranking concubines in the entire harem.A concubine like her has always been the object of fawning on others.She has never seen such a good thing, so how could she fall in love with the tea in Wu Bin's hand?
She just took the opportunity to mock Wu Bin.
With Wu Pin's current status, this kind of Junshan Yinzhen is not something she can drink.
But this kind of tea appeared in Yonghe Palace.
The hands of Wu Ya's family are not usually long.
Wu Bin glared at the big palace maid serving Concubine Rong without a trace of heat on her face, with a fake smile on her face.
"Where, I made Concubine Rong laugh. This is not true. Although we live close, my sister has never been to my Yonghe Palace. If you can come, the ministers will feel full of glory. Naturally, they must entertain with the best things. "
Then she sighed, "Speaking of which, the Junshan Yinzhen was brought by the fifth princess."
The implication is that although she can't reach her herself, who gave her a daughter who was raised by the Queen Mother.
Everyone knows that the queen mother doesn't like to drink this kind of tea, but she is said to be Junshan Yinzhen, even the best Wuyishan Dahongpao is not lacking.
The empress dowager's refusal to drink these things happened to be cheap for the fifth princess and fifth elder brother who were raised by her side.
Concubine Wu is a little proud, Concubine Rong is the concubine who only became a concubine when she was up to her expectations and caught up with the good times.In terms of eloquence, she is not good at all.
If you want to use this to pinch her, you really use the wrong place.
Concubine Feng Rong didn't care about being inferior for a while, she said indifferently: "Really? Then you are really lucky, Wubi."
He sighed unintentionally, "It's not like me, let's not talk about Rong Xian, the third elder brother still needs to be taken care of by me. If you don't become a mother-in-law, you don't know how hard it is to be a mother-in-law. My daughter-in-law managed to be filial to some things. No, he was cut off by the emperor again."
Concubine Rong cracklingly told what happened at noon this afternoon.
"Tell me, if the emperor wants anything, he can just tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs. And what is the food in the imperial dining room? You don't know how to send good things to the emperor, and you dare to treat the emperor badly."
Some words that seemed to be half showing off and half complaining made Wu Bin's heart flutter.
What does Concubine Rong mean? Why do you say that the imperial dining room has treated the emperor badly.
It's about the imperial dining room not allowing Wu Concubine not to be nervous.
Because her grandfather had been the head of the imperial dining room.Now the chief eunuch of the imperial dining room was brought out by her grandfather.
Wupin's existence today is inseparable from her grandfather who was the head of the imperial dining room.
Smart people like to think wildly, especially Wu Bin, who has a lot of thoughts and is vicious.She has a bad heart, and she thinks bad of others.
She always felt that Concubine Rong had some other purpose in saying these words.
Who would have thought that Concubine Rong was just here to show off, to show off that she has a good daughter-in-law, and to show off that the emperor is different in Zhongcui Palace.
Imperial Room?She just said it offhand.She really doesn't know about Wu Bin's relationship with the imperial dining room.
Just because she didn't know, she found it much more interesting to look at Wu Bin's face now.
Before Wupin could ask any more questions, Concubine Rong covered her mouth with a handkerchief and yawned, "No, I'm getting old, and I'll get tired easily after eating and drinking. Wupin, go back to sleep, Ben Gong And went back to rest."
Concubine Rong left in a good mood, leaving Wu Bin to watch the changes in her back.
She got Mammy Wu to ask in a low voice: "What do you mean by her?"
Wu Momo was unsure: "I don't know about this, either? Could it be that she knows something?"
Wu Bin's grandfather was the head of the imperial kitchen, which can be known after a little inquiring, but the relationship between the head of the kitchen and Wu Ya's family is a secret.
If Concubine Rong knew this, she would have to guard against it.
She knows what kind of person the emperor is, if she knows that she has something to do with the head of the imperial dining room, then...
After pondering for a long time, Wu Bin finally said: "Don't be too busy, maybe she is deceiving us on purpose. You go to the imperial dining room to pay attention these few days, and find out what she means first."
The emperor was so thoughtful that it was hard to tell from his face whether he was in a good or bad mood, but it wasn't that there was nothing he could do.
For example, meals.
Eating in a good mood is different from eating in a bad mood.
She used this to infer the emperor's mood.When the emperor was in a good mood, she would go up to him, and when the emperor was in a bad mood, she would hide away.Relying on this, she rose all the way to the top and was promoted to one of the four concubines.
If it wasn't for Tong Jiashi,
Wu Bin suppressed the anger in her heart.
It is indeed the woman Wu Bin hates the most, no matter what she does, she can always think of Tong Jiashi.
A good relationship with the imperial dining room not only allows her to speculate on the emperor's mood and preferences, but also benefits herself.
Every time the imperial dining room came to eat fresh food, she had to know the news in advance.With good things, the imperial dining room will automatically leave a copy for her.
Therefore, she absolutely does not allow others to know about this relationship, nor does she allow others to destroy it.
If Concubine Rong knew that her bragging had made Wupin useless, and became 'cautious' for fear of being discovered her secret, and thus suffered a little bit, would she laugh?
In the evening, Wan Ning came to Zhongcui Palace again.Seeing that Concubine Rong was in good spirits, she was also happy.
"Emiang, something good has happened to you, please tell Erchen about it."
After speaking, he made an appearance of listening attentively.
I thought Concubine Rong would deny it, but the other party actually nodded seriously.
"It's really a good thing. I had a good meal at noon today. I went to the Yonghe Palace to refresh myself and visited Wubi by the way."
Wupin?Wan Ning suddenly became nervous, "Emiang, she didn't bully you, did she?"
During the period of Wan Ke's "madness", Wan Ning felt the most from her heart besides the fourth elder brother and Wu Pin.
In Wan Ke's heart, Wu Pin is a vicious, sophisticated and spicy person.
Concubine Rong like this
Wan Ning felt that she must not be Wu Bin's opponent.
Wan Ning looked nervous, and almost pulled Concubine Rong up to check her whole body.
Not only was Concubine Rong not unhappy, she was also quite happy.
"How could it be? You made me Erniang. It's strange to say that Erniang just mentioned the imperial dining room, and her face changed."
Anyone who lives in the palace knows the importance of the Imperial Dining Room, and Concubine Rong kept this in mind.Noticing that Wu Bin's attitude was different, he sent someone to investigate.However, the investigation will take some time, and she has not received any news yet.
"Imperial Dining Room? Erchen remembers that Eldest Sister said that Wu Bin's grandfather used to be the head of the Imperial Dining Room. Presumably her grandfather left contacts, and she is worried that you will find out."
Wan Ke likes the fourth elder brother, so naturally she can't wait to pick up all [-] generations of Wu Bin's ancestors.It was originally reserved for herself as a second hand, but before Wan Ning got married, she specially told Wan Ning to be careful about her concubine Wu.
In fact, Wan Ning has always had a question. Since there are records in later generations, it is impossible for the emperor not to know.So here comes the question, since he knew, how could he allow people like Wu Bin to exist?And he directly promoted her to the imperial concubine position, isn't he afraid?
Or is he very confident that everyone in the imperial dining room will obey him and will not be bribed?
Until now, Wan Ning still can't figure it out.
Concubine Rong took a deep breath, and immediately her complexion turned bad.
"you sure?"
If her grandfather had really been a butler, the matter really needed to be looked into.
At this time, we can see the importance of family background.
If this matter were Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi, they would definitely not face a formidable enemy like Concubine Rong.
Concubine Hui comes from the Nala family, and her Ama is also not a high official, but there is a pearl in their family.Mingzhu has always supported the elder brother, just like Suo'etu to the prince.The most important pearl was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
As long as she said a word, the details of Wu Ya's family would be wiped out in minutes.
Yipin also came from Baoyi, and the Guoluoluo family she belongs to is also a big family.In terms of the size of the family, Wu Ya's family is far from rivals, let alone any of Yipin's brothers can be alone.As for Wu Bin, her family has no one who can take it apart from her Ama.
Yipin has a fiery temper again, if she knows that there are still people in Wupin's imperial dining room, this matter will definitely not be good.
Fearing that Wan Ning would not understand the importance of the imperial dining room, Concubine Rong explained it carefully to her.
"You think, if Wubi really has something to do with the imperial dining room, who does she want to harm is not a matter of a single word?"
Speaking of this, she frowned deeply, "It's not some peerless beauty, how could the emperor bring such a person into the harem and give him a high position?"
Concubine Rong also didn't understand when she learned that Wupin still had this kind of relationship.
She couldn't figure it out, and she didn't want to worry about it in front of Wan Ning, "Forget it, what are you talking about. Even if Wu Yashi really wants to do something, this fire won't catch us."
The entire harem knew that Wu Concubine hated the late Queen Tong the most, followed by Concubine Yi, and now that Wu Concubine hated Wu Ji, she might add a concubine Tong.How old is she in front of these people?
Wan Ning was not as optimistic as Concubine Rong, so she told the third elder brother about it later.
"What do you think of this matter? If it hadn't happened this afternoon, I would also think that what Er Niang said was right. The main reason is that I heard that Wu Bi is quite small-minded."
The third elder brother paused, and then said: "I know about this, I will try to find out."
It's a coincidence that there are people in the imperial dining room, and he has already got a good seat.
The third elder brother found out in a few days, "The thing you said about Wu Bin's grandfather was indeed the head of the kitchen, but that was all before the late emperor."
I don't know if I don't check, Wu Bin's ancestors once had a title.
It was this forehead gin who not only served as the head of the imperial dining room, but was also named a baron and a first-class cavalry captain.But later Taizong cut him off for unknown reasons.
It seems that because of this, he became decadent, and then slowly withdrew from the imperial dining room.
Wan Ning breathed a sigh of relief, "Then it's all right." She silently calculated in her heart that the period of Taizong was also the first emperor's first emperor, two generations apart.
It is said that people take tea to cool down, not to mention that it has been so many years.
Yinzhi tapped her head lightly with a fan, and uttered a word, "Wrong."
It is true that Ecan, the head of the imperial dining room, has passed for four or fifty years, but his influence is still there.
"You definitely don't know, the current head of the imperial dining room knows Eshen, and the relationship is not shallow."
Although there are San Age's people everywhere in the palace, most of them were rescued by him unintentionally.Those people thought they were the third elder brother after being rescued, but the third elder brother had long forgotten and never asked them to do anything.
The one in the imperial dining room is still because of the meal, so he posted it himself to chat.Otherwise, the third elder brother would not know that he had saved someone.
Even so, he still didn't give any tasks, he only mentioned to take care of Zhong Cui Palace without violating the palace rules.
This kind of thing doesn't need to be said by the third elder brother, that person will do it.
Therefore, when the third elder brother asked him to investigate the relationship between Wupin and the imperial dining room, he would be particularly excited and take it seriously.
It is precisely because of the emphasis that it took a little longer.Fortunately, the results are good.
Wu Bin has always been impeccable in doing things, if he hadn't been delayed by something that day, he would not have discovered that the head of the imperial kitchen was talking to the people around Wu Bin.
There was nothing strange about this at first, but with the third elder brother's entrustment, it became unusual.
It's just that he didn't notice what the two said because of the distance, and because of their caution, they haven't found out their relationship yet.
For the third elder brother, these are not important, as long as he wants to have a way to expose Wu Bin at any time.
However, he did not choose to expose the matter immediately.
"As long as we know about it, we don't know what her real intentions are at this time. Exposing it will not do us any good other than scaring the snake."
Wupin is the lord of the first palace, and she has given birth to several imperial heirs.No big mistake, Khan Ama will not deal with her lightly.Just one reason to connect with the main pipe of the imperial dining room is not enough.
Wu Pin waited for a long time, and when the Chinese New Year was approaching, she still didn't see any movement from Concubine Rong, so she laughed secretly at herself.
Hiding in the Yonghe Palace, eating meals that exceeded the limit, Wubi smiled sarcastically, "This palace is really a bit of a grassroots soldier, and Concubine Rong is an idiot, not a concubine Yi."
Wupin was born in Baoyi, and Baoyi was not allowed to read and write.She just started learning when she became a concubine, and she likes to show off, and she has to use idioms every now and then, regardless of whether it works or not.It seems that he is very cultured.
In addition, she also likes to call herself Bengong, pretending to be noble.
As everyone knows, she sees others as fools, and others see her in the same way.
Concubine Rong pulled Wan Ning and muttered, "We haven't moved for so long, this woman Wubi might say something about us behind her back, call us stupid."
Knowing that Concubine Rong may have something to do with the head of the imperial dining room, Concubine Rong did not move on the surface, but in fact she has been silently collecting evidence.Through the collection during this period, she must have confirmed that there is indeed someone in Wubi's imperial dining room.
Otherwise, as a concubine, how could the portion of meals be more delicate than that of a noble concubine?
Wan Ning was not far away from Wu Bin, so she naturally heard Wu Bin's complaints.She looked at Concubine Rong in surprise, and flattered her, "Emiang, you are so amazing, you know it all."
Concubine Rong laughed out loud, "You girl, you are used to making me happy. Er Niang has been in the palace for so many years, has she still winked?"
She laughed out loud, successfully attracting the attention of others.
Concubine Tong's eyes flickered, "Sister Concubine Rong, what are you laughing at, why don't you tell us to let everyone have fun together." She looked at Wan Ning inquiringly, and probed, "Speaking of which, it's been more than three months since Sanfujin got married. Well, is there good news?"
Concubine Tong didn't understand Concubine Rong at all. She didn't believe that someone could treat a daughter-in-law as her own daughter.Concubine Rong must be pretending.
Concubine Hui looked sideways at these words, and Da Fujin even tightened the handkerchief in his hand.She looked down at her stomach, originally she wanted to wait in her arms.If there is a third sibling, will she...
Da Fujin hesitated.
Concubine Rong glanced lightly at Concubine Tong, then turned her head and waved at Wan Ning, "Thank you soon, Tong Erniang, your Tong Erniang has opened her mouth before. She said so today, she can't change it. You'll have it tomorrow."
What Concubine Rong said was serious, those who didn't know really thought that Concubine Tong's god had come down to earth.
She didn't feel that what she just said was too much, and said gratefully to Concubine Tong: "I thank Concubine Tong for caring about the third elder brother. When Wan Ning is pregnant, I will definitely wrap a big red seal for Concubine Tong. "
As she said that, she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and anyone who saw her could know that she was in a good mood at this time.
Concubine Rong made one movement and Wan Ning gave one command, and she really went forward to salute Concubine Tong.
"My son, thank you Tong Eniang."
Seeing their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law acting like this, the others almost died of joy, but Concubine Tong's face was ugly.
Concubine Rong's run on made her very unhappy, "Sister Rong Concubine, I just said it casually, even if it wasn't, you don't have to do it, right? Speaking of which, the third elder brother is only nineteen years old. The children are running all over the place. It's hard for my sister not to worry."
Concubine Rong didn't know about the third elder brother so much and thought that the third elder brother was not her own.She didn't understand, it's fine with Concubine Rong, how could the emperor tolerate San elder brother like this?
Concubine Rong doesn't like her at all.
"You're still a child at the age of 19. I'm still young and I'm not in a hurry to be a mam. But Concubine Tong, you are not too young to enter the palace. After all these years, don't you hurry up?"
She stretched out her hand to touch her face, and said with emotion: "This woman, once she gets old, she won't be happy."
Concubine Tong was born in the seventh year of Kangxi. When she entered the palace, she was twenty-three, and she would be thirty in two years.
Concubine Rong never imagined that she would make enemies everywhere, if Concubine Tong hadn't said the latter sentence.
There are currently three princes, Fujin, in the palace, let alone the second.It is only said that Da Fujin has been desperately giving birth to a son for so many years, and the elder brother is like the eldest grandson who gave birth to the emperor before the prince.What would the other party think when she said that this word spread to the elder brother's heart?
Isn't this causing trouble for your son?
And Er Fujin.
Two people, Er Fujin has to enter the palace first, and Er Fujin's stomach hasn't moved yet, if Wan Ning has it, Er Fujin's pressure will increase greatly.Not to mention that it will affect the relationship between the prince and his wife, what if there is a gap between Er Fujin and Wan Ning?You haven't seen Da Fujin's eyes just now, the envious and jealous eyes want to pierce Wan Ning's stomach.
Hmph, Concubine Rong thinks about it and feels that Concubine Tong has no good intentions.
Wu Pin was happy to see Concubine Tong deflated, she showed a gentle smile, "We have known each other for so many years, but I didn't know that Concubine Rong's sister had a long mouth. My sister's mouth is comparable to that of Concubine Yi, so the emperor should really see it." Look, the emperor of Yesheng always said that Yibi is hot."
There is a better word, Wupin, but I don't use it, and deliberately use the word pungent.
Concubine Rong took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, then put down the teacup and said helplessly, "I dare not compare myself with Concubine Yi. I was also forced to do so, and Concubine Wu may not understand it now, but you will know when you become a mother-in-law." gone."
She hates Concubine Tong because of what Concubine Tong said, but it doesn't mean she is willing to be used by Concubine Wu.What's more, she also mentioned the two words that the emperor commented on Yipin back then.
As one of knowing the inside story, it is not a good thing to say "Polar" from the mouth of the emperor at that time.
None of the concubines who can achieve high positions is really stupid, and they all have their own strengths.Shi Yahui let out a long breath after coming out of the inner hall, she said enviously: "Sister is so kind, there is Empress Rong to support you in everything. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to handle it."
There are good and bad mothers-in-law on the top. If something goes wrong, someone will support you. This is the benefit.
Wan Ning smiled, and even agreed, "Er Niang is very kind to me. The prince is not bad to the second sister-in-law."
She blinked at Shi Yahui.Shi Yahui didn't have a mother-in-law, but the crown prince took care of both.The crown prince wants to save face, Shi Yahui is his Fujin and he is his own, if he knows that someone is bullying Shi Yahui, he will definitely dare to break into other people's palace with a whip and whip them.
The third elder brother said that once there was an official who deliberately mocked the crown prince with words, and the angry crown prince whipped him several times in front of everyone.
Although the prince was reprimanded by the emperor afterwards, he was fearless.
After understanding what Wan Ning meant, Shi Yahui blushed.She stretched out her hand to pinch Wan Ning's face, "Well, you Wan Ning, how dare you laugh at me."
As he spoke, he wanted to tickle her.
Da Fujin coughed at the right time, the two turned their heads, she said with a wooden face: "The two brothers and sisters are in the palace, we are Prince Fujin, we should be more careful."
Like this kind of casual slapstick, the princesses in the boudoir just do it, how can it be like this when you are married?
Shi Yahui immediately corrected her posture, she was too lazy to argue with Da Fujin, "Sister-in-law is very right." After speaking, she stuck out her tongue at Wan Ning.
Wan Ning almost laughed out loud, but under Da Fujin's scrutinizing gaze, she also put on a straight face.
They were all brought up by big families, who wouldn't be dignified?
Da Fujin sat on one side drinking tea, Wan Ning and Shi Yahui sat on the other side and made eye contact.
Shi Yahui rolled her eyes towards Da Fujin: Did you see it?This is sister-in-law.
Wan Ning nodded lightly: Do you think sister-in-law is also like this at home?If so, it's really hard for the eldest brother to talk to such a boring person.
It is your own business that you are willing to put on airs all the time, and there are no outsiders here, can't they just relax?Wouldn't life be tiring if everyone put on airs like this?
Shi Yahui blinked again: Who knows?maybe.
The three of them were originally asked to come out because they were worried that they would feel uncomfortable facing a room full of concubines. Who would have thought that Da Fujin would say such words.
Wan Ning and Shi Yahui stopped talking immediately.
The two of them didn't speak, and the room was completely silent, and Da Fujin realized the embarrassment.But she was not good at words, and she knew that she had offended her two siblings just now, so she wanted to speak but didn't know what to say.
She didn't hesitate to speak until everyone stood up and walked out.The first thing he said was: "Third siblings, do you really have one?"
She gave birth to four by herself, and she also knew that everyone kept the first three months of pregnancy secret, even if someone found out, she would deny it.
Da Fujin felt that Chengqian Palace and Zhongcui Palace were opposite each other, and Concubine Tong must know what happened on Concubine Rong's side.After thinking about it for a long time, she felt that Concubine Tong didn't seem like someone who would aim at nothing.
Wan Ning opened her eyes wide, "Sister-in-law, I'm still young."
"Third brother, oh, it was the third elder brother who said that having a child too early is not good for the health, and besides, the eldest brother and the second brother are on top of it, we are not in a hurry."
Compared with the Yaozu Dongyi who is thousands of years old, he is still a baby at the age of 16.Even in this world, she doesn't feel that she is big.
Her eldest and second sisters were almost 22 when they got married, and they were almost [-] when they gave birth.
Of course, she feels that her body is fine, but the third elder brother is more worried.
The children Er Niang gave birth to in the early years all died, and the third elder brother did not know who told him that it was because Ama and Er Niang were young that the children were weak.
So, he said a long time ago that he would not have a child so early.
Seeing that Da Fujin's body was shaking, Wan Ning stuck out her tongue.She didn't intend to provoke the sister-in-law either, that's exactly what the third elder brother said.
The third elder brother meant that it would take at least one year for the eldest brother to give birth to his son, and another year for the second brother to give birth.With the buffer of these two years, it's almost their turn.
Wupin and Wumao had a meal together, they really didn't talk about people during the day, as soon as she mentioned Concubine Rong, the other person arrived.
Wu Bin's face darkened, "I have nothing to do with her, what is she doing here?"
The palace maid hesitated and shook her head, "I don't know, Concubine Rong only said that the weather is fine today, so come and walk around."
Looking at the gloomy sky outside through the crack of the door, the cold wind came in through the crack of the door, and she shivered from the cold.
Wu Bin snorted coldly.good weather?Concubine Rong calls this good weather?
She was blind or she was blind.
No matter who is blind, Concubine Rong's status is higher than hers, and she has to entertain Concubine Rong when she comes.
Taking a deep breath, Wu Bin gritted her teeth, "Go invite our Concubine Rong to come in."
After inviting people in, Wu Pin didn't go over to see her right away, but waited for a while, worried about making Concubine Rong angry to death before getting up.
Concubine Rong's surname is Ma Jia, and Ma Jia's family name is a common surname in Manchuria, but Concubine Rong's Ama is only a fifth-rank official.Now Concubine Rong's Ama has passed away, and her own brother is in charge of the family.The year before last, the emperor was promoted because of Concubine Rong's face, and he was added to the imperial concubine's sacrificial wine.
Guozijian Jijiu is from the fourth-rank position, and this is already the best person in Concubine Rong's natal family.
As for Wupin, her Ama is a member of the guard of the third rank.
Not only is his official position two ranks higher than Concubine Rong's natal brother, but he also has real power in his hands.
In contrast, I can only be an untitled concubine, and Ma Jia's is a concubine Rong.Wu Bin was the most unconvinced.
Concubine Rong usually has a higher status than her, and the two of them don't interact, so she can only hold back if she is not convinced, but Concubine Rong came to her territory today, which made her angry.
Thinking of this, Wu Bin felt happy for a while.Before she arrived, she laughed, "Your Majesty, forgive me, my concubine is late."
"It's all the fault of these damned slaves. The concubines have the habit of taking a lunch break, and they don't even know to report when the empress arrives."
She observed Concubine Rong carefully, thinking that Concubine Rong would be angry, but she saw Concubine Rong put down the tea cup in her hand unhurriedly.
Concubine Rong wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said generously: "It's okay, I'm a benevolent person. I've heard that you, Wubi, are angry and worried that they will be punished because of me, so I told them not to go. Announcement. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with this palace, besides, Wubi’s tea is pretty good.”
Concubine Rong's words were a pun, first she said that she was a 'charitable person', implying that Wu Concubine was unkind and liked to punish slaves.He also said that the tea here is good.
Concubine Rong is the concubine who holds power in the palace, and the imperial concubine and concubine Hui are the highest ranking concubines in the entire harem.A concubine like her has always been the object of fawning on others.She has never seen such a good thing, so how could she fall in love with the tea in Wu Bin's hand?
She just took the opportunity to mock Wu Bin.
With Wu Pin's current status, this kind of Junshan Yinzhen is not something she can drink.
But this kind of tea appeared in Yonghe Palace.
The hands of Wu Ya's family are not usually long.
Wu Bin glared at the big palace maid serving Concubine Rong without a trace of heat on her face, with a fake smile on her face.
"Where, I made Concubine Rong laugh. This is not true. Although we live close, my sister has never been to my Yonghe Palace. If you can come, the ministers will feel full of glory. Naturally, they must entertain with the best things. "
Then she sighed, "Speaking of which, the Junshan Yinzhen was brought by the fifth princess."
The implication is that although she can't reach her herself, who gave her a daughter who was raised by the Queen Mother.
Everyone knows that the queen mother doesn't like to drink this kind of tea, but she is said to be Junshan Yinzhen, even the best Wuyishan Dahongpao is not lacking.
The empress dowager's refusal to drink these things happened to be cheap for the fifth princess and fifth elder brother who were raised by her side.
Concubine Wu is a little proud, Concubine Rong is the concubine who only became a concubine when she was up to her expectations and caught up with the good times.In terms of eloquence, she is not good at all.
If you want to use this to pinch her, you really use the wrong place.
Concubine Feng Rong didn't care about being inferior for a while, she said indifferently: "Really? Then you are really lucky, Wubi."
He sighed unintentionally, "It's not like me, let's not talk about Rong Xian, the third elder brother still needs to be taken care of by me. If you don't become a mother-in-law, you don't know how hard it is to be a mother-in-law. My daughter-in-law managed to be filial to some things. No, he was cut off by the emperor again."
Concubine Rong cracklingly told what happened at noon this afternoon.
"Tell me, if the emperor wants anything, he can just tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs. And what is the food in the imperial dining room? You don't know how to send good things to the emperor, and you dare to treat the emperor badly."
Some words that seemed to be half showing off and half complaining made Wu Bin's heart flutter.
What does Concubine Rong mean? Why do you say that the imperial dining room has treated the emperor badly.
It's about the imperial dining room not allowing Wu Concubine not to be nervous.
Because her grandfather had been the head of the imperial dining room.Now the chief eunuch of the imperial dining room was brought out by her grandfather.
Wupin's existence today is inseparable from her grandfather who was the head of the imperial dining room.
Smart people like to think wildly, especially Wu Bin, who has a lot of thoughts and is vicious.She has a bad heart, and she thinks bad of others.
She always felt that Concubine Rong had some other purpose in saying these words.
Who would have thought that Concubine Rong was just here to show off, to show off that she has a good daughter-in-law, and to show off that the emperor is different in Zhongcui Palace.
Imperial Room?She just said it offhand.She really doesn't know about Wu Bin's relationship with the imperial dining room.
Just because she didn't know, she found it much more interesting to look at Wu Bin's face now.
Before Wupin could ask any more questions, Concubine Rong covered her mouth with a handkerchief and yawned, "No, I'm getting old, and I'll get tired easily after eating and drinking. Wupin, go back to sleep, Ben Gong And went back to rest."
Concubine Rong left in a good mood, leaving Wu Bin to watch the changes in her back.
She got Mammy Wu to ask in a low voice: "What do you mean by her?"
Wu Momo was unsure: "I don't know about this, either? Could it be that she knows something?"
Wu Bin's grandfather was the head of the imperial kitchen, which can be known after a little inquiring, but the relationship between the head of the kitchen and Wu Ya's family is a secret.
If Concubine Rong knew this, she would have to guard against it.
She knows what kind of person the emperor is, if she knows that she has something to do with the head of the imperial dining room, then...
After pondering for a long time, Wu Bin finally said: "Don't be too busy, maybe she is deceiving us on purpose. You go to the imperial dining room to pay attention these few days, and find out what she means first."
The emperor was so thoughtful that it was hard to tell from his face whether he was in a good or bad mood, but it wasn't that there was nothing he could do.
For example, meals.
Eating in a good mood is different from eating in a bad mood.
She used this to infer the emperor's mood.When the emperor was in a good mood, she would go up to him, and when the emperor was in a bad mood, she would hide away.Relying on this, she rose all the way to the top and was promoted to one of the four concubines.
If it wasn't for Tong Jiashi,
Wu Bin suppressed the anger in her heart.
It is indeed the woman Wu Bin hates the most, no matter what she does, she can always think of Tong Jiashi.
A good relationship with the imperial dining room not only allows her to speculate on the emperor's mood and preferences, but also benefits herself.
Every time the imperial dining room came to eat fresh food, she had to know the news in advance.With good things, the imperial dining room will automatically leave a copy for her.
Therefore, she absolutely does not allow others to know about this relationship, nor does she allow others to destroy it.
If Concubine Rong knew that her bragging had made Wupin useless, and became 'cautious' for fear of being discovered her secret, and thus suffered a little bit, would she laugh?
In the evening, Wan Ning came to Zhongcui Palace again.Seeing that Concubine Rong was in good spirits, she was also happy.
"Emiang, something good has happened to you, please tell Erchen about it."
After speaking, he made an appearance of listening attentively.
I thought Concubine Rong would deny it, but the other party actually nodded seriously.
"It's really a good thing. I had a good meal at noon today. I went to the Yonghe Palace to refresh myself and visited Wubi by the way."
Wupin?Wan Ning suddenly became nervous, "Emiang, she didn't bully you, did she?"
During the period of Wan Ke's "madness", Wan Ning felt the most from her heart besides the fourth elder brother and Wu Pin.
In Wan Ke's heart, Wu Pin is a vicious, sophisticated and spicy person.
Concubine Rong like this
Wan Ning felt that she must not be Wu Bin's opponent.
Wan Ning looked nervous, and almost pulled Concubine Rong up to check her whole body.
Not only was Concubine Rong not unhappy, she was also quite happy.
"How could it be? You made me Erniang. It's strange to say that Erniang just mentioned the imperial dining room, and her face changed."
Anyone who lives in the palace knows the importance of the Imperial Dining Room, and Concubine Rong kept this in mind.Noticing that Wu Bin's attitude was different, he sent someone to investigate.However, the investigation will take some time, and she has not received any news yet.
"Imperial Dining Room? Erchen remembers that Eldest Sister said that Wu Bin's grandfather used to be the head of the Imperial Dining Room. Presumably her grandfather left contacts, and she is worried that you will find out."
Wan Ke likes the fourth elder brother, so naturally she can't wait to pick up all [-] generations of Wu Bin's ancestors.It was originally reserved for herself as a second hand, but before Wan Ning got married, she specially told Wan Ning to be careful about her concubine Wu.
In fact, Wan Ning has always had a question. Since there are records in later generations, it is impossible for the emperor not to know.So here comes the question, since he knew, how could he allow people like Wu Bin to exist?And he directly promoted her to the imperial concubine position, isn't he afraid?
Or is he very confident that everyone in the imperial dining room will obey him and will not be bribed?
Until now, Wan Ning still can't figure it out.
Concubine Rong took a deep breath, and immediately her complexion turned bad.
"you sure?"
If her grandfather had really been a butler, the matter really needed to be looked into.
At this time, we can see the importance of family background.
If this matter were Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi, they would definitely not face a formidable enemy like Concubine Rong.
Concubine Hui comes from the Nala family, and her Ama is also not a high official, but there is a pearl in their family.Mingzhu has always supported the elder brother, just like Suo'etu to the prince.The most important pearl was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
As long as she said a word, the details of Wu Ya's family would be wiped out in minutes.
Yipin also came from Baoyi, and the Guoluoluo family she belongs to is also a big family.In terms of the size of the family, Wu Ya's family is far from rivals, let alone any of Yipin's brothers can be alone.As for Wu Bin, her family has no one who can take it apart from her Ama.
Yipin has a fiery temper again, if she knows that there are still people in Wupin's imperial dining room, this matter will definitely not be good.
Fearing that Wan Ning would not understand the importance of the imperial dining room, Concubine Rong explained it carefully to her.
"You think, if Wubi really has something to do with the imperial dining room, who does she want to harm is not a matter of a single word?"
Speaking of this, she frowned deeply, "It's not some peerless beauty, how could the emperor bring such a person into the harem and give him a high position?"
Concubine Rong also didn't understand when she learned that Wupin still had this kind of relationship.
She couldn't figure it out, and she didn't want to worry about it in front of Wan Ning, "Forget it, what are you talking about. Even if Wu Yashi really wants to do something, this fire won't catch us."
The entire harem knew that Wu Concubine hated the late Queen Tong the most, followed by Concubine Yi, and now that Wu Concubine hated Wu Ji, she might add a concubine Tong.How old is she in front of these people?
Wan Ning was not as optimistic as Concubine Rong, so she told the third elder brother about it later.
"What do you think of this matter? If it hadn't happened this afternoon, I would also think that what Er Niang said was right. The main reason is that I heard that Wu Bi is quite small-minded."
The third elder brother paused, and then said: "I know about this, I will try to find out."
It's a coincidence that there are people in the imperial dining room, and he has already got a good seat.
The third elder brother found out in a few days, "The thing you said about Wu Bin's grandfather was indeed the head of the kitchen, but that was all before the late emperor."
I don't know if I don't check, Wu Bin's ancestors once had a title.
It was this forehead gin who not only served as the head of the imperial dining room, but was also named a baron and a first-class cavalry captain.But later Taizong cut him off for unknown reasons.
It seems that because of this, he became decadent, and then slowly withdrew from the imperial dining room.
Wan Ning breathed a sigh of relief, "Then it's all right." She silently calculated in her heart that the period of Taizong was also the first emperor's first emperor, two generations apart.
It is said that people take tea to cool down, not to mention that it has been so many years.
Yinzhi tapped her head lightly with a fan, and uttered a word, "Wrong."
It is true that Ecan, the head of the imperial dining room, has passed for four or fifty years, but his influence is still there.
"You definitely don't know, the current head of the imperial dining room knows Eshen, and the relationship is not shallow."
Although there are San Age's people everywhere in the palace, most of them were rescued by him unintentionally.Those people thought they were the third elder brother after being rescued, but the third elder brother had long forgotten and never asked them to do anything.
The one in the imperial dining room is still because of the meal, so he posted it himself to chat.Otherwise, the third elder brother would not know that he had saved someone.
Even so, he still didn't give any tasks, he only mentioned to take care of Zhong Cui Palace without violating the palace rules.
This kind of thing doesn't need to be said by the third elder brother, that person will do it.
Therefore, when the third elder brother asked him to investigate the relationship between Wupin and the imperial dining room, he would be particularly excited and take it seriously.
It is precisely because of the emphasis that it took a little longer.Fortunately, the results are good.
Wu Bin has always been impeccable in doing things, if he hadn't been delayed by something that day, he would not have discovered that the head of the imperial kitchen was talking to the people around Wu Bin.
There was nothing strange about this at first, but with the third elder brother's entrustment, it became unusual.
It's just that he didn't notice what the two said because of the distance, and because of their caution, they haven't found out their relationship yet.
For the third elder brother, these are not important, as long as he wants to have a way to expose Wu Bin at any time.
However, he did not choose to expose the matter immediately.
"As long as we know about it, we don't know what her real intentions are at this time. Exposing it will not do us any good other than scaring the snake."
Wupin is the lord of the first palace, and she has given birth to several imperial heirs.No big mistake, Khan Ama will not deal with her lightly.Just one reason to connect with the main pipe of the imperial dining room is not enough.
Wu Pin waited for a long time, and when the Chinese New Year was approaching, she still didn't see any movement from Concubine Rong, so she laughed secretly at herself.
Hiding in the Yonghe Palace, eating meals that exceeded the limit, Wubi smiled sarcastically, "This palace is really a bit of a grassroots soldier, and Concubine Rong is an idiot, not a concubine Yi."
Wupin was born in Baoyi, and Baoyi was not allowed to read and write.She just started learning when she became a concubine, and she likes to show off, and she has to use idioms every now and then, regardless of whether it works or not.It seems that he is very cultured.
In addition, she also likes to call herself Bengong, pretending to be noble.
As everyone knows, she sees others as fools, and others see her in the same way.
Concubine Rong pulled Wan Ning and muttered, "We haven't moved for so long, this woman Wubi might say something about us behind her back, call us stupid."
Knowing that Concubine Rong may have something to do with the head of the imperial dining room, Concubine Rong did not move on the surface, but in fact she has been silently collecting evidence.Through the collection during this period, she must have confirmed that there is indeed someone in Wubi's imperial dining room.
Otherwise, as a concubine, how could the portion of meals be more delicate than that of a noble concubine?
Wan Ning was not far away from Wu Bin, so she naturally heard Wu Bin's complaints.She looked at Concubine Rong in surprise, and flattered her, "Emiang, you are so amazing, you know it all."
Concubine Rong laughed out loud, "You girl, you are used to making me happy. Er Niang has been in the palace for so many years, has she still winked?"
She laughed out loud, successfully attracting the attention of others.
Concubine Tong's eyes flickered, "Sister Concubine Rong, what are you laughing at, why don't you tell us to let everyone have fun together." She looked at Wan Ning inquiringly, and probed, "Speaking of which, it's been more than three months since Sanfujin got married. Well, is there good news?"
Concubine Tong didn't understand Concubine Rong at all. She didn't believe that someone could treat a daughter-in-law as her own daughter.Concubine Rong must be pretending.
Concubine Hui looked sideways at these words, and Da Fujin even tightened the handkerchief in his hand.She looked down at her stomach, originally she wanted to wait in her arms.If there is a third sibling, will she...
Da Fujin hesitated.
Concubine Rong glanced lightly at Concubine Tong, then turned her head and waved at Wan Ning, "Thank you soon, Tong Erniang, your Tong Erniang has opened her mouth before. She said so today, she can't change it. You'll have it tomorrow."
What Concubine Rong said was serious, those who didn't know really thought that Concubine Tong's god had come down to earth.
She didn't feel that what she just said was too much, and said gratefully to Concubine Tong: "I thank Concubine Tong for caring about the third elder brother. When Wan Ning is pregnant, I will definitely wrap a big red seal for Concubine Tong. "
As she said that, she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and anyone who saw her could know that she was in a good mood at this time.
Concubine Rong made one movement and Wan Ning gave one command, and she really went forward to salute Concubine Tong.
"My son, thank you Tong Eniang."
Seeing their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law acting like this, the others almost died of joy, but Concubine Tong's face was ugly.
Concubine Rong's run on made her very unhappy, "Sister Rong Concubine, I just said it casually, even if it wasn't, you don't have to do it, right? Speaking of which, the third elder brother is only nineteen years old. The children are running all over the place. It's hard for my sister not to worry."
Concubine Rong didn't know about the third elder brother so much and thought that the third elder brother was not her own.She didn't understand, it's fine with Concubine Rong, how could the emperor tolerate San elder brother like this?
Concubine Rong doesn't like her at all.
"You're still a child at the age of 19. I'm still young and I'm not in a hurry to be a mam. But Concubine Tong, you are not too young to enter the palace. After all these years, don't you hurry up?"
She stretched out her hand to touch her face, and said with emotion: "This woman, once she gets old, she won't be happy."
Concubine Tong was born in the seventh year of Kangxi. When she entered the palace, she was twenty-three, and she would be thirty in two years.
Concubine Rong never imagined that she would make enemies everywhere, if Concubine Tong hadn't said the latter sentence.
There are currently three princes, Fujin, in the palace, let alone the second.It is only said that Da Fujin has been desperately giving birth to a son for so many years, and the elder brother is like the eldest grandson who gave birth to the emperor before the prince.What would the other party think when she said that this word spread to the elder brother's heart?
Isn't this causing trouble for your son?
And Er Fujin.
Two people, Er Fujin has to enter the palace first, and Er Fujin's stomach hasn't moved yet, if Wan Ning has it, Er Fujin's pressure will increase greatly.Not to mention that it will affect the relationship between the prince and his wife, what if there is a gap between Er Fujin and Wan Ning?You haven't seen Da Fujin's eyes just now, the envious and jealous eyes want to pierce Wan Ning's stomach.
Hmph, Concubine Rong thinks about it and feels that Concubine Tong has no good intentions.
Wu Pin was happy to see Concubine Tong deflated, she showed a gentle smile, "We have known each other for so many years, but I didn't know that Concubine Rong's sister had a long mouth. My sister's mouth is comparable to that of Concubine Yi, so the emperor should really see it." Look, the emperor of Yesheng always said that Yibi is hot."
There is a better word, Wupin, but I don't use it, and deliberately use the word pungent.
Concubine Rong took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, then put down the teacup and said helplessly, "I dare not compare myself with Concubine Yi. I was also forced to do so, and Concubine Wu may not understand it now, but you will know when you become a mother-in-law." gone."
She hates Concubine Tong because of what Concubine Tong said, but it doesn't mean she is willing to be used by Concubine Wu.What's more, she also mentioned the two words that the emperor commented on Yipin back then.
As one of knowing the inside story, it is not a good thing to say "Polar" from the mouth of the emperor at that time.
None of the concubines who can achieve high positions is really stupid, and they all have their own strengths.Shi Yahui let out a long breath after coming out of the inner hall, she said enviously: "Sister is so kind, there is Empress Rong to support you in everything. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to handle it."
There are good and bad mothers-in-law on the top. If something goes wrong, someone will support you. This is the benefit.
Wan Ning smiled, and even agreed, "Er Niang is very kind to me. The prince is not bad to the second sister-in-law."
She blinked at Shi Yahui.Shi Yahui didn't have a mother-in-law, but the crown prince took care of both.The crown prince wants to save face, Shi Yahui is his Fujin and he is his own, if he knows that someone is bullying Shi Yahui, he will definitely dare to break into other people's palace with a whip and whip them.
The third elder brother said that once there was an official who deliberately mocked the crown prince with words, and the angry crown prince whipped him several times in front of everyone.
Although the prince was reprimanded by the emperor afterwards, he was fearless.
After understanding what Wan Ning meant, Shi Yahui blushed.She stretched out her hand to pinch Wan Ning's face, "Well, you Wan Ning, how dare you laugh at me."
As he spoke, he wanted to tickle her.
Da Fujin coughed at the right time, the two turned their heads, she said with a wooden face: "The two brothers and sisters are in the palace, we are Prince Fujin, we should be more careful."
Like this kind of casual slapstick, the princesses in the boudoir just do it, how can it be like this when you are married?
Shi Yahui immediately corrected her posture, she was too lazy to argue with Da Fujin, "Sister-in-law is very right." After speaking, she stuck out her tongue at Wan Ning.
Wan Ning almost laughed out loud, but under Da Fujin's scrutinizing gaze, she also put on a straight face.
They were all brought up by big families, who wouldn't be dignified?
Da Fujin sat on one side drinking tea, Wan Ning and Shi Yahui sat on the other side and made eye contact.
Shi Yahui rolled her eyes towards Da Fujin: Did you see it?This is sister-in-law.
Wan Ning nodded lightly: Do you think sister-in-law is also like this at home?If so, it's really hard for the eldest brother to talk to such a boring person.
It is your own business that you are willing to put on airs all the time, and there are no outsiders here, can't they just relax?Wouldn't life be tiring if everyone put on airs like this?
Shi Yahui blinked again: Who knows?maybe.
The three of them were originally asked to come out because they were worried that they would feel uncomfortable facing a room full of concubines. Who would have thought that Da Fujin would say such words.
Wan Ning and Shi Yahui stopped talking immediately.
The two of them didn't speak, and the room was completely silent, and Da Fujin realized the embarrassment.But she was not good at words, and she knew that she had offended her two siblings just now, so she wanted to speak but didn't know what to say.
She didn't hesitate to speak until everyone stood up and walked out.The first thing he said was: "Third siblings, do you really have one?"
She gave birth to four by herself, and she also knew that everyone kept the first three months of pregnancy secret, even if someone found out, she would deny it.
Da Fujin felt that Chengqian Palace and Zhongcui Palace were opposite each other, and Concubine Tong must know what happened on Concubine Rong's side.After thinking about it for a long time, she felt that Concubine Tong didn't seem like someone who would aim at nothing.
Wan Ning opened her eyes wide, "Sister-in-law, I'm still young."
"Third brother, oh, it was the third elder brother who said that having a child too early is not good for the health, and besides, the eldest brother and the second brother are on top of it, we are not in a hurry."
Compared with the Yaozu Dongyi who is thousands of years old, he is still a baby at the age of 16.Even in this world, she doesn't feel that she is big.
Her eldest and second sisters were almost 22 when they got married, and they were almost [-] when they gave birth.
Of course, she feels that her body is fine, but the third elder brother is more worried.
The children Er Niang gave birth to in the early years all died, and the third elder brother did not know who told him that it was because Ama and Er Niang were young that the children were weak.
So, he said a long time ago that he would not have a child so early.
Seeing that Da Fujin's body was shaking, Wan Ning stuck out her tongue.She didn't intend to provoke the sister-in-law either, that's exactly what the third elder brother said.
The third elder brother meant that it would take at least one year for the eldest brother to give birth to his son, and another year for the second brother to give birth.With the buffer of these two years, it's almost their turn.
