[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress

After Dafu Jin left the palace, he would enter the palace to pay his respects during festivals and the first and fifteenth day of the new year.

Today is the first day of the new year again, after everyone paid their respects to the Queen Mother, it was still early.Shuwan and Wu Fujin were playing mahjong, Da Fujin and San Fujin heard it and came over.

Shuwan didn't want to neglect her younger siblings who had just entered the palace. She sent out an invitation casually, but was rejected by Seven Fujin and Eight Fujin.Seventh Fujin said something happened at home, and Eighth Fujin said he was not feeling well.

Wu Fujin invited everyone to play cards at her place. Brother Wu didn't go home at noon today, so everyone stayed at Wu Fujin's place for dinner. Wouldn't it be nice to continue playing after dinner.

The four sisters-in-law felt good, and they all went to Wufujin's residence together.

The card table was set up, the fruit and snacks were set up, and the four chatted while drawing cards.

Sanfujin said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is not here, we can't even make up the game."

Shuwan echoed: "That's right! The Crown Princess is about to give birth, and she will rarely go out after the next year. We are always missing one of three."

In fact, Shuwan and Wu Fujin often play cards together, but they just don't want to bring Sanfujin with them.Sanfujin mocked Wufujin and intentionally made fun of Shuwan, everyone did not forget it!

In the palace, it is enough for everyone to live a decent life.It doesn't matter if you hate each other in private, but you must be kind on the surface.So today Sanfujin took the initiative to come over to make an appointment to play cards, and Wufujin generously invited everyone to her place. Everyone was a decent person, and the false friendship had to be maintained.

Da Fujin said: "There are two new siblings in the palace, you can play with them! You won't even be able to make up the game!"

Sanfujin smiled meaningfully, "The clothes are not as good as the newcomers, and I still like to play with you."

In the workplace, a person like San Fujin is the kind of old fritter who likes to bully newcomers. Obviously the newcomers have nothing to do with her, the scope of work does not overlap, and there is no conflict of interest involved, but she just likes to find fault with the newcomers.

Shuwan said: "The two younger brothers and sisters have just entered the house, and they are still very unfamiliar with the palace, so they dare not go out and wander around casually. The newcomers are shy, and we also came here from that time. But sister-in-law, you usually accompany Concubine Hui, Why do you have time to play with us today?"

Da Fujin stroked his chest and let out a long breath, "The eighth brother and sister are smart and considerate. With her flattering Concubine Hui, I can naturally relax!"

She asked the palace lady to change her a cup of tea, "Change this, it doesn't matter what, even plain water, I can't drink tea now, and I will feel flustered and insomnia if I drink a little."

Wu Fujin hurriedly asked: "Sister-in-law, can red dates, wolfberry and longan be soaked in water?"

Da Fujin smiled and said: "Yes, it's better to put another piece of rock sugar."

Wu Fujin ordered someone to change the water, and Da Fujin laughed at himself, "Since the last miscarriage, my body has become more and more useless. Insomnia and chest tightness are common. No matter whether it is spring, autumn, winter or summer, my hands and feet are always cold. Sigh. , it may be because I am getting older and my body is not as good as before."

"Tut tsk tsk!" Sanfujin said, "Sister-in-law should really slap her when she says this! It's best to let Concubine Hui listen! Sister-in-law, you are only so old, you dare to say that you are old!"

Shuwan asked: "Sister-in-law, you are not feeling well, have you asked the imperial physician to recuperate your body?"

Da Fujin said: "Why not? I drank a lot of bitter soup, but it didn't work."

Wu Fujin persuaded: "Healing a disease is like spinning silk, you will get better if you take care of it slowly."

Shuwan echoed: "Yes! Rehabilitation! The most important thing is to nourish the word, eat on time, be less angry, take time out every day to walk in the yard, sweat, get more sun, pay attention to diet and rest, and slowly Your body will be fine."

"It seems that the fourth siblings know how to keep in good health, and the imperial doctor told me so."

The maid brought longan red date tea, Da Fujin took a sip, feeling helpless.She has heard these truths a long time ago, but her body has suffered a lot, and it will be difficult to make up for it.

When a person is sick, especially if he is in an unhealthy state for a long time, his psychological state is very different from when he is healthy.The same is true for Dafujin, she is more likely to be pessimistic and disappointed now, she knows she shouldn't, but her thoughts always lead to a dead end.

She said with a low mood: "Human! It's so boring to live. I'm an old and sick child now. Eldest brother doesn't need me anymore. Now that the eight blessings have entered the palace, mother-in-law doesn't need my courtesies anymore."

Da Fujin said this is outrageous, if her words are known to the elder brother and the concubine Hui, trouble will definitely arise.

Sanfujin didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, she asked with a smile: "Brother has a new love? Hey, men are all greedy and lustful. As for Bafujin, that person looks shrewd at first sight , Sister-in-law has to be on guard against her."

San Fujin rushed to provoke troubles as soon as she spoke, Shuwan secretly scolded her for being a troublemaker, and then turned her head to coax Da Fujin.

"Sister-in-law was joking, who is not like this? You and elder brother have been so close to each other for so many years. What can you say when we meet? Let alone you, I have only been married to fourth elder brother for two years. There's nothing to talk about. The same is true for you and Concubine Hui, and now there are eight blessings to do your filial piety for you, isn't that good? It just so happens that you have time to play cards with us!"

Wu Fujin also persuaded: "There is always a distinction between people and relatives. No matter how good the eight blessings are in flattery, when it comes to critical times, the concubine Hui will definitely go to the elder sister-in-law."

Shuwan smiled and said: "The five younger brothers and sisters have hit the point! So! Don't think too much, sister-in-law. You can be happy every day, as long as you are happy."

After hearing what Shuwan and Wu Fujin said, Da Fujin felt much better, and she smiled gratefully at Shuwan and Wu Fujin.

Since Bafujin was mentioned, Sanfujin wanted to gossip.

"Our eighth sibling is a powerful person. He has only been in the palace for a few days, and he has coaxed the Queen Mother into submission." Sanfujin looked at Shuwan, "Fourth sibling, be careful!"

Shuwan looked down at the cards, and casually threw out a [-] card, "Sister-in-law San is joking, can the eighth brother and sister still eat me? Why should I be careful?"

"In the past, our sister-in-law, you were the most favored by the Queen Mother, but now that you have become the eighth sibling, are you not in a hurry?"

Shuwan spoke impeccably, "It's a good thing for one more person to be filial to the Queen Mother! Why am I so anxious?"

Sanfujin sneered, feeling that Shuwan was hypocritical.

Wu Fujin made a rescue for Shuwan, "I feel that the seventh siblings have the same temperament as me, and they don't like to talk."

Sanfujin smiled and said: "Yes! The fifth sibling remembers going to the seventh sibling's place to walk around and make contact."

Wu Fujin has grown up a lot with Shuwan, and she retorted, "No need, I'll talk to my sister-in-law first before I talk about it!"

Sanfujin pursed her lips in displeasure, and casually threw out a piece of two cakes.

Da Fujin hurriedly laughed and said, "Thank you, third brother and sister, I'll eat it! You're so stupid!"

Sanfujin gave the money with a smile, feeling even more depressed.

At noon, Wu Fujin asked everyone to have dinner, but San Fujin refused. She didn't want to play with them anymore, and the more she played, the angrier she became.

After dinner, the three sisters-in-law went to lie or sit on the kang in the east room, and chatted about the family together.

Da Fujin sighed: "The third younger sibling has become more and more eccentric, and I dare not say some things to her."

Shuwan translated it in her heart, the third brother and sister talked big, and some gossip dared not chat with her.

"The two younger brothers and sisters who have just entered the palace are one-in-a-million ladies. I don't get along with the seventh younger sibling much, but I'm a little more familiar with the eighth younger sibling. I can always see it at Concubine Hui's place."

Da Fujin sighed, "The eighth brother and sister are filial people, they go to Concubine Hui every morning to wait for the empress, and often help her wash and wash, I am absolutely inferior."

Speaking of the eight Fujin, Dafujin is also full of resentment.

When she lived in the palace, she served Concubine Hui with all her heart.But Ba Fujin has more eyes and is more attentive, so he compares Da Fujin.Of course Concubine Hui knew that she was close and distant, but Da Fujin only achieved [-] points of filial piety, while Ba Fujin achieved [-] points.

Bafujin is the new introvert king, and her brilliance is set off by others.

Da Fujin said to Shuwan: "After entering the palace, the eighth younger siblings often go to the Crown Princess's place to chat and chat with them. You! You are also being compared!"

Da Fujin was reminding Shuwan that everyone in the palace knew that the princess and Sifujin got along well, and now that the introvert king was going to grab Shuwan's performance, Da Fujin reminded her to be careful.

Shuwan waved her hand indifferently, "The eighth brother and sister like to socialize, so let her go!"

She and the Crown Princess are friends of gentlemen. She is not flattering, and the Crown Princess is not arrogant. When they are happy, they talk together for a few words, and when they are unhappy, they go back to their respective houses. See you next time. It is a relatively relaxed state.

Bafujin went there if he wanted to curry favor, but Shuwan couldn't stop him from making progress.

Da Fujin counted with his fingers, "Seeing that the Crown Princess is about to give birth, it's time for us to prepare gifts."

Wu Fujin sighed: "Isn't it! The court's expenditure on favors is too high. If you give this one a gift today and that one tomorrow, just giving gifts every month would be a big expense."

Da Fujin smiled and said: "Send a lot, and receive a lot, there is always a way to balance the income and expenditure."

Da Fujin didn't go into too much detail, there will be more ways to get money after leaving the palace, anyway, Shuwan and the others will know after they leave the palace.

Entering the palace early in the morning and playing cards all morning, Da Fujin was weak and fell asleep while chatting.Wu Fujin covered her with a quilt, and went out with Shuwan.

After Da Fujin woke up, he went to Concubine Hui to say goodbye, and then went out of the palace and went home.

In the evening, the fourth elder brother came home and told Shuwan that her nose was not her nose, her face was not her face.

He spoke in a strange way, "Si Fujin is really carefree, playing cards and drinking with his sisters-in-law, having a good time, and letting me eat alone."

Shuwan thinks he is cute when he loses his temper. Is he blaming himself for neglecting him?

Shuwan held his face and said, "Oh! Honey! I'm sorry, I left you out!"

"What, what dear? This... really! You really are shameless!" The fourth elder brother scolded, "Don't talk like that in the future!"

Shuwan nodded, she understands, you are shy!Oops, it's the old couple's, so unrestrained on the bed, I can't stand a word of dear, tsk tsk tsk!

"Okay, okay! I won't say anything in the future!"

The fourth elder brother feels a little regretful, and it is not impossible to say a few words now and then.

After eating, the two played with their son for a while.

Kang Bao is almost one year old and understands how to speak. Like a husky every day, he is keen on being mischievous and tearing down the house.

He was obviously still unable to stand still, so he hurried to walk. Standing up was an asshole, and standing up and taking a step was another asshole.Playing with him for a while is equivalent to exercising for three hours.

The fourth elder brother is a strong man, and he couldn't bear to play with him for a while.

The fourth elder brother sent the nanny to take the son out, and he chatted with Shuwan excitedly.

"Have you heard? Eighth Fujin beat up Ge Ge in the backyard of the eighth younger brother."

Shuwan also became excited, wow!Is today an auspicious day for gossip?There are eight Fujin melons everywhere, and this melon is especially hot.

"My God! Is Bafujin so fierce? How dare he beat someone in the palace!"

The fourth elder brother raised his eyebrows and said: "In the future, don't just focus on playing cards, I have to tell you such important news."

Shuwan patted the fourth elder brother's shoulders attentively, "It's hard work for the fourth elder brother! I'm not very popular, and no one wants to talk to me about it except playing cards."

The fourth elder brother looked helpless with her, "Okay! Let me tell you about this in detail. There are two princesses in the backyard of the eighth younger brother. Since Bafujin entered the palace, these two princesses have fallen out of favor. Ba Fujin is very strict with these two people. He has to go to the main courtyard to set rules every day, and sometimes it takes a whole day to stop. Today at noon, Ba Fujin and his eighth brother had dinner together. The eighth brother smiled at him when he was serving food, and Ba Fujin became jealous, and scolded Ge Ge. The eighth brother defended a few words, and the eighth sibling beat both Ge Ge."

Shuwan gave a thumbs up, "Wow! Heroine among women!"

May I ask which Fujin doesn't want to be so 'happy and enmity' in the backyard?The state of the eight blessings is simply an ideal in the world!

But it's fun when you hit someone, and there will definitely be troubles in the future!Bafujin is so domineering, does mother-in-law care?

The eighth elder brother's biological mother is not from a good background, but she is a concubine anyway, and the adoptive mother, Concubine Hui, will not just sit idly by!

Then there is the attitude of the eighth elder brother. If the wife is so overbearing, the eighth elder brother will be angry!

Shuwan asked the fourth elder brother: "Is the eighth elder brother particularly angry?"

The princes are all masters, and they are all arrogant.The eighth elder brother may not take those two princesses to heart, but the possessive behavior of the eighth Fujin will definitely make the eighth elder brother unhappy.

The fourth elder brother laughed suddenly, "Ha! Old Ba is angry, but he is also cowardly! He actually apologized to Fujin first!"

The fourth elder brother took pleasure in other's misfortunes, "Unexpectedly! The old man who is so good at handling affairs is actually afraid of his wife! Look at how promising he is!"

Shuwan also laughed at the beginning, but couldn't stop laughing.

She asked coolly: "What? In Si elder brother's mind, is it shameful to be afraid of your wife?"

The fourth elder brother felt that there was something wrong, and he subconsciously denied: "No, I didn't think so. Uh... the old man is afraid of his wife, because his wife is not virtuous. It is not shameful for others to be afraid of their wives. Only those who like their wives will be afraid !"

Shuwan nodded in satisfaction, "It's not too bad."

The fourth elder brother lamented in his heart, how can I make fun of the old man?I am also afraid of my wife!

The family ugliness cannot be publicized, and the incident of Bafujin's beating was concealed, but almost all the maids and eunuchs in the palace were intelligence personnel, so this incident finally got out, and Concubine De began to gossip about it with Shuwan the next day.

"Have you heard about Bafujin's beating? It's rare to be so jealous!"

Concubine De admitted for the first time that she had gone astray when she saw people. At first, she thought that Bafujin was very good. She would serve her mother-in-law. of.

Compared with the Eight Fortunes, Concubine De is more pleasing to Shuwan's eyes.Although he is jealous, he is more generous in doing things, just look at the food and clothing of Song Gege and Wu Gege.

Many young ladies in the Yonghe Palace want to enter Si Age's backyard!No need to serve elder brother, there are more monthly cases, and there are maids to serve, or half master, who wouldn't like it?

Concubine De has a strange sense of superiority in her heart. My daughter-in-law has a high wrist, which is much better than the one who only knows how to hit people.

Concubine De was proud, while Shuwan was anxious.

Shuwan admits that she is jealous, she just wants to dominate Si elder brother, so far, she is quite successful.

But... Did Concubine De intentionally mention Bafujin to point her at her?She wants to plug people into the backyard of the fourth elder brother?

Shuwan tried to change the topic, and she offered her fat son.

"I brought Kang Bao with me today, and he is in a hurry to leave now that he can't stand still."

The nanny bent down to hold Kang Bao's arm, and Kang Bao was wearing a small red gown, grinning and baring her teeth as she slipped out on the ground.Looking for balance with his small arms, he walked in a crooked manner.

Kang Bao walked crookedly, but Concubine De was very moved, "Our Kang Bao is really strong, look, he will leave before he is one year old."

Kang Bao patted himself with his small hand, he didn't quite understand what Concubine De said, but he knew that Concubine De was praising him.

Shuwan smiled and said: "He understands the language now, so it's not easy to be fooled. Whoever praises him for being beautiful and smart, he pats himself. Two days ago, the fourth elder brother asked, who is the idiot? Kang Bao pointed at the fourth elder brother. "

Concubine De covered her mouth and smiled, "Oh, our Kang Bao is so smart! Much smarter than your fourteenth uncle when he was a child!"

Shuwan looked at Kang Bao with a smile, good son, work harder, be more cute, try to please your grandmother, and kill your fourteenth uncle!

Kang Bao walked a few steps, lying on De Fei's lap and refused to leave, De Concubine picked him up and asked the maid to cut the fruit into small pieces and feed it to Kang Bao.

"In the past few days since Bafujin entered the palace, I have looked at her coldly and figured out some things. She is a very good person at first glance, but she can't get close to her. She is too utilitarian and too proud, and she doesn't take others seriously at all. "

Now Bafujin is a man of influence in the palace, and both the queen mother and the princess say she is good.Concubine De advised Shuwan to relax and not to compare with her.

"Don't pay attention to her, it may not be a good thing to be in the limelight like this."

Bafujin flattered the Queen Mother, Dafujin, and the Crown Princess, wishing to take all the benefits.

Concubine De thought that Shuwan was not diligent enough, and she did not rush to cling to her despite being liked by the Empress Dowager and the Crown Princess.Now I feel that Shuwan is very good like this, leaving room for herself and others.

Shuwan thanked Concubine De for her kindness, and now she and Concubine De are getting along more and more congenially.Concubine De would occasionally hurt her, but most of the time she was pointing her to the principles of life.

In fact, Shuwan does not do things to leave room for others, she is just lazy.Let's just treat each other as ordinary friends, and don't get too close to each other.

Shuwan was getting along with the seven and eight newcomers who had just entered the palace, and after a few days, the eight suddenly posted a post, inviting the sisters-in-law to sit with her.

Shuwan thought it was amazing, what a big deal this was, and it deserved her solemn invitation?

Shuwan went to the eight Fujin's yard as agreed, and Sanfujin, Wufujin and Qifujin were also there.

Shuwan smiled and said: "Are the eighth brothers and sisters inviting us to drink? Bring the wine quickly, I am late, I will punish myself with three glasses first."

Sanfujin smiled and said: "Look, you're so greedy, don't you drink when you're at home?"

"How can my own wine taste better than someone else's? I just like the wine that doesn't cost money!"

Wu Fujin and Qi Fujin pursed their lips and lowered their heads to laugh, Ba Fujin said: "I have to discuss something important with my sister-in-law. When the discussion is over, good wine and good food will be enough. Come here and serve Si Fujin tea!"

The court lady brought a cup of tea, which was not an ordinary gaiwan, but an exquisite white glass with lotus petal patterns cut on the outside, and the amber tea in the cup created beautiful water waves, like a tempting cup. honey water.

Shuwan raised her head and scanned the room again. There are ancient paintings hanging on the wall, and the antiques on the shelf should also be antiques. The cushions on the chairs are brand new. It seems that Fujin spent a lot of time furnishing the room. With some thought, she is not afraid of the antiques being damaged when the maids and eunuchs clean up.

Shuwan lowered her head and was playing with the cup. Bafujin said with a smile, "This is the lotus-petal white glass I brought in my dowry. After all, glass is not as good as jade. I use it to hold water just to make it look fresh."

Shuwan raised her eyebrows and smiled, but didn't reply.

Ba Fujin's way of showing off his wealth is very clever, and Shuwan has also learned it. In the future, when there are good things in the house, they must be displayed and then said a few demeaning words.

ah?Is this very precious?This is just ordinary stuff!The fuss is that you have never seen the world!

The cups of the other Fujin were also made of glass, and San Fujin looked at the cups and kept praising them.

"Oh, how rare glass things are now! Most of them are brought in by foreigners, and a few are made by artisans used by the court and foreigners together."

Ba Fujin laughed and said, "The foreigner's stuff is just a novelty, after all, it's not as good as our own stuff."

Qifujin was not interested in the utensils for drinking tea, so she asked indifferently: "Sister and brother, what's the matter with you posting a message to invite us over?"

"Look at me, I almost forgot the business! I invited my sister-in-laws here today to discuss with them about giving gifts. Seeing that the princess is about to give birth, I thought, why don't we give a big gift together. "

Sanfujin smiled and asked, "Give gifts together? This... what should I give?"

Ba Fujin said: "This is what I think. Gold and jade are nothing rare. I'm afraid they won't catch the eyes of the princess. Why don't we each give a piece of silver and send it outside the palace to help the poor people and accumulate blessings and virtues for the children. In this way, the people also benefit.”

San Fujin and the others didn't speak, Ba Fujin said: "I've done the math, 500 taels of silver is enough for each person, I've already figured out how to build a porridge shed, how to give alms, and the sisters-in-law don't need to worry about dim sum." .”

There was a sneer on the corner of Shuwan's mouth, Bafujin thought they were all fools!

You stretch your head, we pay the money, who will get the credit in the end?

Shuwan has seen this kind of person a lot, she likes to flatter her superiors, and she insists on wooing others. In the end, when the leader asked her, she came up with an idea, and she made overall plans. It seemed that without her presence, nothing could be done.In the end, the leader only remembered her, and the efforts of others were in vain.

Hehe, even the amount of money has been calculated, is this sure that they will agree?
