Four Lords dote on his wife daily
Chapter 57
The news that Ming Xi was canonized as a side Fujin quickly spread to her natal family.
Mrs. Liang couldn't believe it, and confirmed with her husband again and again: "Xiaoxi has been named a side Fujin, is it true? You must have heard it wrong, right? Or have you been deceived?" Xiaoxi entered the fourth master's mansion In less than half a year, not only did Sibeile not give birth to a boy and a half girl, she was not even pregnant yet, so how could she become a side Fujin.
Mingrui was not angry when asked repeatedly by Mrs. Liang, and said with a smile: "It's true, who dares to make a joke about such a thing!"
"But..." Liang's face was full of shock, and he said in disbelief, "How is it possible? How could Xiao Xi be named a side Fujin?" This is against the rules.
"I heard from others that the emperor thought that our Xiaoxi was a twin and auspicious, so he canonized her as a side Fujin." Mingrui also found it strange that Xiaoxi had not been accused of giving birth to Sibeile for half a year, nor had she given birth to a son for Sibeile. Besides, they didn't make great contributions to the court, so how could they suddenly canonize Xiaoxi as a side Fujin.
Mrs. Liang didn't believe this statement, "Isn't it too far-fetched to confer Xiaoxi as a side Fujin because of this?"
Mingrui shook his head lightly: "No matter what is the reason for conferring Xiaoxi as a side Fujin, it is a good thing that Xiaoxi is now a side Fujin of Sibeile Mansion." He just said that his second daughter is a worthy Blessed.
Liang's daughter was canonized as a side Fujin, and Liang was naturally happy, but at the same time he was also very disturbed.
"Xiaoxi was conferred the title of side Fujin without giving birth to Lord Baylor's son. This will only make her life in Baylor's mansion difficult." May be convinced.
Hearing what his wife said, Mingrui couldn't help but feel worried, and then pretended to be calm and comforted his wife: "Now Xiaoxi is already a Fujin, and no one can do anything to her except Fujin. Besides, Xiaoxi has been smart since she was a child." , nothing will happen." The second daughter is not only beautiful, but also very smart, only she can bully others, and no one else can bully her.
"I'm afraid that Fujin doesn't like Xiaoxi." Xiaoxi is so good-looking, and is loved by Sibeile, and now she is invited by Sibeile to be a side Fujin, how could Fujin have no opinion at all.
"The last time Xiaoxi came back, it can be seen that Sibeile loves Xiaoxi very much, and Sibeile should protect Xiaoxi." When Mingrui said this, he was not very confident, but he had to comfort his wife , Don't let your wife worry about your daughter.
"Si Baylor can't protect Xiaoxi forever." Ever since her daughter's success in the draft was pointed to Si Baylor, she has never felt at ease.When her daughter was Princess of Four Baylor, she was worried that her daughter would be bullied by other Princesses.Now that her daughter has become a side Fujin, she is even more worried.The daughter is already beautiful, and is the object of envy of all women.Now that her daughter has been given the title of side Fujin, I'm afraid that other women in Sibeile's mansion will hate her to death and try their best to get rid of her.
"No matter how much we think about it, it's useless." Mingrui raised his hand and patted Liang's shoulder lightly, "Our little Xi is blessed, she will definitely turn the bad luck into good luck, and nothing will happen!"
Liang knew that no matter how worried she was, it was useless, so she could only recite Buddhist scriptures several times a day and pray for her daughter.
"Didn't Xiao Xi be told by a fortune teller before that she would be blessed in this life and that she would be rich and rich? See if the fortune teller told Xiao Xi right now?"
Hearing what Mingrui said, Mrs. Liang felt a lot relieved when she remembered that there was such a thing.
"Yes." I hope Xiaoxi will always be blessed in this life.
Thinking of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ming Rui suddenly became very disappointed.
"Xiaoxi is now a side Fujin. According to the rules, she will enter the palace to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Unfortunately, I have no skills. I can't enter the palace and see Xiaoxi." If his official position is high, he and his wife can enter the palace to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival Festival, when the time comes to see the second daughter.
At this time, Ming Xu suddenly walked in and said: "Ama, Er Niang, I plan to take the imperial examination." Their family has no background, and it is not easy for him and Ama to climb up.If he often sees his sister when he is a high official, then he will work hard to be a high official.The fastest way to become a high official is to take the imperial examination.
Mingrui and Liang were taken aback by his son's words: "Are you going to take the imperial examination?"
Mingxu nodded firmly, "I want to be a high official, so I can only take the imperial examination." As long as he becomes a high official and has power, he can help his sister and prevent her from being bullied.
Hearing his son's declaration, Mingrui felt very relieved, and said with a smile, "Since you have decided to take the imperial examination, go for it." Their family has no background, and the fastest way to become a high official is to take the imperial examination. imperial examination.
Encouraged by Liang, "Emiang believes you can do it." Although the son is not as smart as the daughter, he is not stupid, and maybe it will really work if he takes part in the imperial examination.
Seeing that both Ama and Er Niang supported him to take the imperial examination, Mingxu felt relieved.
"Ama, Erniang, don't worry, I will definitely study hard and try to pass the exam."
Since his daughter left home, his son has suddenly become much calmer and more mature.
"Hahahaha..." Suddenly, there was a burst of ridicule, and an ordinary-looking woman in her twenties came in with a sneer on her face, "It's just you who want to take part in the imperial examination, don't go out and embarrass yourself!"
"Ming Jia, what are you talking about?!" Ming Rui reprimanded with a scowling face when he heard the eldest daughter say this.
"Why do you despise me, the eldest daughter of a widow who is a widow, when I have a youngest daughter who is Lord Baylor's side Fujin?"
"You..." Mingrui was very angry at the elder daughter's words.
Mingxu mocked at the side: "I just despise you, a widow!"
"Qi Jia's Ming Xu!" Ming Jia glared at Ming Xu angrily, as if he was about to eat him.
Ming Xu crossed his arms and looked at Ming Jia sarcastically: "What qualifications do you have to compare with my sister? Not only is she ugly, but she is also a widow who died of a husband and ran back to her mother's house without shame." Ming Xu's lip service Reach out to Ming Xi for influence.Although he can't speak to Ming Xi, but he is very good at teasing others.
When Ming Jia heard these words, his eyes were dark, and he raised his hand and waved towards Ming Xu.
Ming Xu reached out and grabbed Ming Jia's wrist, and said with a cold face, "Qi Jia's Ming Jia, you can't even compare to my sister's hair."
"Qi Jia's Ming Xu!!!" Ming Jia roared angrily.
Ming Xu threw Ming Jia to the ground, looking down at Ming Jia: "You are married, this family is no longer yours, you'd better be honest with me, or don't blame me for being ruthless. "
"Ama, this is your good son!" Ming Jia shouted at Ming Rui angrily.
Mingrui looked at his eldest daughter with guilt and anger in his eyes.
"Okay, okay, you guys are united to bully me, who killed my mother and her husband, you are trying to force me to death."
"If you want to die, die now." Ming Xu said with a cold face.
"You..." Of course Ming Jia didn't have the guts to die, nor did she want to die.After being told by Mingxu, he could only lie down, and sat on the ground and started crying. "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."
Seeing Ming Jia making this move again, Ming Xu's eyes were filled with cold sarcasm, and he left with a cold snort.Before leaving, he dragged Mrs. Liang away, leaving Mingrui alone to face Mingjia.
Ming Xu has always been very dissatisfied with Ming Rui's connivance with Ming Jia, but as a junior, he can't explain anything to Rui, so he can only turn a blind eye.
Seeing the eldest daughter crying, Mingrui didn't look at all, and felt angry, helpless, and guilty. In the end, he didn't say anything, sighed heavily, turned around and left without saying anything else.
"Er Niang, my daughter should have gone with you, otherwise I wouldn't have suffered such humiliation." Ming Jia sat on the ground and continued to cry, "Er Niang, you are not here, I am so pitiful... woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Woo."
When Mingrui heard his eldest daughter mention her mother-in-law, he thought of his ex-wife, and a deep sense of guilt flashed in his eyes.The most sorry person in his life is his ex-wife and his eldest daughter.
"Ama, if you despise me, drive me out of the house, so that I won't get in your way by staying at home."
Mingrui left without saying anything.He had heard Ming Jia's words many times.
After Ming Rui left, Ming Jia stopped crying, but her eyes were full of deep hatred.
Her life is so miserable, why is Qi Jia's Mingxi so lucky to become the side Fujin of Lord Belle's mansion? !
She is also the daughter of Qi Jia's family, why does that bastard Ming Xi have everything going well, but she doesn't?
She should have ruined the face of that bitch Ming Xi, so that she could not participate in the draft and become the side Fujin of Lord Baylor's mansion!
She's not doing well, that bitch Ming Xi shouldn't be doing well either!
Ming Xi, who was far away in Sibeile Mansion, didn't know that she was hated by Qi Jia's Ming Jia again.
At this time, she was tinkering with mooncakes.
It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, and it's time to eat mooncakes.
The moon cakes in this era are too monotonous, unlike later generations with so many fillings.Before Mingxi entered Si Ye's mansion, every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, she would make mooncakes for future generations at home.
Ming Xi wrote down the recipe for making moon cakes for future generations, and handed them to Lu Yi, asking her to send the little pigeons to the dining room, so that Ma Benshan in the dining room could make them.
Seeing what Ming Xi wrote, Lu Yi's eyes widened in shock: "Ci Fujin, how come there are mooncakes with egg yolk fillings, and mooncakes with ham fillings?" Can such mooncakes be eaten?
"Of course it is edible, and it tastes good." The mooncake recipe written by Mingxi has various fillings: osmanthus mooncake, prunes mooncake, five kernels, red bean paste, rose, rock sugar, gingko, black sesame, ham mooncake , egg yolk moon cakes, etc.
Aunt Zhou walked over, glanced at the prescription in Luyi's hand, and was surprised by the various fillings Mingxi wrote.
The moon cakes written by Cian Fujin have a variety of fillings, can they be eaten?
Seeing that Aunt Zhou and the others looked suspicious, Ming Xi didn't say anything: "Just give the recipe to the dining room, and Master Ma can make it." She was very confident in Master Ma in the dining room, and every time she came out of the kitchen, she Master Ma can make all kinds of food.
Ma Benshan of the dining room did not find it strange to receive the mooncake recipe written by Mingxi, but thought it opened the door to a new world. It turns out that mooncakes can be made with so many fillings, and egg yolk and ham can also be used as fillings for mooncakes. Why didn't I think of it before!
After getting the mooncake recipe, Ma Benshan was full of energy to make mooncakes.
On the same day, I made several kinds of fruit-filled mooncakes, such as sweet-scented osmanthus mooncakes, prunes mooncakes, rose mooncakes, and rock sugar mooncakes.
After it was done, Ma Benshan sent Xiaodouzi to Mingxu Garden as soon as possible.
Ming Xi received newly made moon cakes, and tasted each of them, and they tasted good.When the fourth master comes in the evening, Ming Xi will bring the newly made mooncakes to the fourth master to taste.
Fourth Master is not interested in sweets, and the several mooncakes that Ma Benshan made today are very sweet.Fourth master took a bite and didn't eat any more.
"Grandpa, I'll ask the dining room to make some salty mooncakes for you to try in two days."
"Salty mooncakes?" This was the first time Fourth Master had heard of it.
"Yes, it's delicious."
Fourth Master didn't understand where Mingxi came up with so many weird ideas, and made all kinds of food that had never been seen before.
Mingxi suddenly thought of last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, when she made mooncakes with Er Niang, this year...
Seeing Mingxi's look lonely, fourth master asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
Ming Xi raised her head and shook her head slightly at Fourth Master: "It's nothing." In fact, she was homesick, but she couldn't tell Fourth Master.Last time she said she was homesick, fourth master took her home.Back at the mansion, a lot of gossip arose.This time, she had just been conferred the title of side Fujin. If she was brought back to her natal family by the fourth master, the people in the mansion would be even more dissatisfied.In order to have a quiet Mid-Autumn Festival, she still doesn't want to talk about homesickness.
"Sick of home?" Fourth master guessed right.
"I don't really think too much about it. After all, the Lord took me back last time." Ming Xiyan said insincerely.
"You really don't want to?"
Ming Xi shook her head: "I don't really think about it, but I have something to tell my master."
"whats the matter?"
"Grandpa, can I send some mooncakes back?" I can't celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with Ama and the others this year and have a reunion dinner together, but at least I can send some things back, and I will send a message to Ama and the others so that they don't worry about her.
"Yes." The fourth master raised his hand and gently touched Mingxi's head and said, "In the future, if you want to send something back, you can send someone to deliver it directly, and you don't need to ask me one by one." Say no to home.
Hearing what Fourth Master said, Ming Xi's eyes suddenly became bright: "Thank you, Master!"
Seeing Mingxi recovering, Fourth Master had a smile in his eyes: "You..."
Ming Xi suddenly thought of entering the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and her expression immediately became distressed: "Master, I will also enter the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Do I have to prepare gifts?" go.
"It's enough for you to prepare two gifts." Fourth Master said, "One for Er Niang and one for the emperor's grandmother."
"Master, what does Empress Concubine De like?"
"Emiang likes to worship the Buddha."
"Worshiping the Buddha?" Ming Xi complained in her heart, why did she think that all the daughters-in-law of the Aixinjueluo family liked to worship the Buddha. "Then shall I give Buddhist scriptures to Empress Defei?"
"Your writing... don't copy Buddhist scriptures."
"If you don't give Buddhist scriptures, what should I give?"
"I have a string of Buddhist beads, you can give it to Erniang."
"Master, you gave me the Buddha beads, what did you give De Concubine Empress?"
"I still have a jade Buddha statue in my place, and I will give it to Er Niang when the time comes."
Hearing what the fourth master said, Ming Xi felt relieved, and said gratefully, "Thank you!" The fourth master is so considerate.
Fourth Master took a deep look at Ming Xi, and said meaningfully: "If you really want to thank me, you can show it with actions."
Hearing this, Mingxi glared at Fourth Master coquettishly, and scolded in a low voice: "Rogue..." Since she became a Fujin, she found that Fourth Master needs her a lot, and he has become gentle towards her a lot.
Fourth Master recently fell in love with playing sports with Ming Xi, and felt very comfortable.It was not comfortable before, but it is more comfortable now.
Fourth Master didn't know that this feeling was the unity of soul and body, and exercising in harmony with each other would naturally be very refreshing.
Two days later, Ma Benshan from the dining room made all the mooncakes that Ming Xi asked for.
Mingxi originally wanted to give it to Fujin and Song Gege, but she thought that it would be dangerous to give food to others, and she would be easily framed, so she decided not to.
After wrapping up the finished mooncakes, Ming Xi asked Lu Shui to go to a Qi Jia family's house again.
Mrs. Liang was very happy to see Lushui coming, and was very moved when she learned that her daughter had made mooncakes and sent them back.
"Miss Lushui, how is Xiao Xi doing in the mansion after she was conferred the title of side Fujin?"
"Ma'am, please don't worry, Chu Fujin is very good. Lord Belle loves Chu Fujin very much." Mingxi sent Lushui to Qi Jia's house not to deliver mooncakes, but to let Lushui tell Ama about her stay in Baylor's mansion They, let them not worry about her.
"Xiao Xi was suddenly named a side Fujin, is Fujin dissatisfied?"
"No, Fujin is very happy, and gave a pair of emerald bracelets to Fujin."
"What about the rest?"
"I'm not dissatisfied at all, after all, the emperor personally ordered Ge Ge to be conferred the title of side Fujin."
Hearing what Lu Shui said, Mrs. Liang instantly felt relieved.
"That's good." In the past few days, she has been in a state of ups and downs, worrying about her daughter's accident in the Baylor Mansion and being framed.
"Ma'am, the purpose of letting this slave over here is to tell you that she is fine in the mansion, so you don't need to worry about her." After Lu Shui finished speaking, he added, "There is Aunt Zhou next to Fujin, she is an old man. She used to be the etiquette nanny in the palace, she taught the rules of beautiful women in the palace, and she once served the empress dowager, she has a lot of experience, with Aunt Zhou by side Fujin, you don't have to worry about it."
Hearing these words, Liang's worried heart was completely relieved.
"That's great."
"Master Belle was afraid that Fujin would be bullied, so he specially invited Aunt Zhou to the mansion to serve Fujin." Lu Shui said with a smile, "It is Lord Belle who personally asked the emperor to seal Fujin." Lu Shui said with a smile. Yes, you can rest assured."
"So that's how it is!" It turned out that Lord Belle personally invited Xiaoxi to be named a side Fujin, so it seems that Lord Belle really dotes on Xiaoxi, so she can rest assured.
"Cian Fujin asked the servant to tell you that you, the lord, and the young master, don't worry about her, she will be fine." Lu Shui said seriously, "Cian Fujin also told the lord and the young master to pay more attention to it, don't worry about it." I was fooled by someone with a heart."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liang's face instantly became serious: "I see, I will tell her about Ama and her younger brother."
"Ci Fujin also said that Qi Jia's Mingjia is not a fuel-efficient lamp. When he finds out that she has become a side Fujin, he will definitely play tricks secretly and let the young master send someone to keep an eye on Qi Jia's Mingjia."
Liang suddenly thought that her daughter was almost scratched by Ming Jia before the draft, and now she heard what Lu Shui said, which made her feel full of vigilance.
"I see. I will send someone to keep an eye on Ming Jia." She would never let Ming Jia harm Xiao Xi.
"Cian Fujin said that she will find a way to come back when the young master gets married."
"Miss Lushui, tell Xiaoxi that she is now a Fujin, and she must follow the rules in everything she does, and don't be picked on by others." Liang urged, "When Xiaoxu gets married, Xiaoxi will marry her." Don't come back, and save yourself from being slandered by people in Lord Baylor's house."
"Madam's words, the slave will tell Fang Fujin."
"By the way, tell Xiaoxi that Xiaoxu has decided to take the imperial examination to pursue his official career." Liang's eyes were full of relief when he thought of his son's hard work studying during this time, "Xiaoxu said that he wanted to be a high-ranking official and be his My sister's strong backing."
"The relationship between the young master and Zan Fujin is really good."
"Yes, their siblings have always had a good relationship since they were young."
Lu Shui chatted with Liang Shi for a while, and before leaving, Liang Shi asked Lu Shui to bring some things to Mingxi.
Back at Mingxu Garden, Lu Shui told Ming Xi all of Liang's words.
"That kid is really brazen and wants to be a high-ranking official." Ming Xi was both moved and gratified when his younger brother wanted to take the imperial examination to pursue his official career.
"Cian Fujin, the young master is also for you." Lu Shui said.
"I know, but I'm afraid he's not suitable for officialdom." The struggle for official property is more intense than that of the harem, and if you don't pay attention, you will suffer.That kid Mingxu is not very scheming, she is really afraid that he will suffer.
Aunt Zhou comforted her from the side: "Ci Fujin, no one is naturally suitable to be an official. The young master may not adapt at first, but he will soon adapt."
"The officialdom is much more miserable than the harem."
"It is."
"Although that boy is not as smart as me, he is smarter than others. It shouldn't be a big problem to take the imperial examination." Since the boy decided to take the imperial examination, she, the older sister, should support him.
Aunt Zhou and the others were amused by Ming Xi's words: "Ci Fujin, the young master will definitely be good."
"That's true, no matter how you say he is my twin brother, he is also a lucky person."
When the fourth master came to Mingxu Garden, Ming Xi told the fourth master about Mingxu's decision to take part in the imperial examination.
"It's a good decision to take the imperial examination." The fourth master agreed with Ming Xu's decision, but... "How is your brother studying?" This stupid girl doesn't like studying, and her brother probably doesn't like studying either.
"He's good at reading." Ming Xi said with a smile, "He was able to sit down and read when he was young, but I can't. He's better than me in this regard."
"That's good. I'll arrange a gentleman to teach your younger brother." Since this girl's younger brother decided to take the imperial examination to pursue his official career, he will help him.
"Thank you, Master!" Ming Xi kissed fourth master's lips forcefully, "Master, you are the best!"
"I hope your brother is a malleable talent!"
"That kid can't do anything else, but he is good at reading." The kid used to like reading, but he didn't want to take the imperial examination, he didn't want to be an official.However, for her elder sister, he decided to take the imperial examination and then pursue an official career, which moved her very much.
"That's good." If this girl's younger brother is really good at studying, he will train him well.
Soon, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, just after dawn, Mingxi was woken up by Aunt Zhou and the others.
Today is early in the morning to enter the palace, so Ming Xi has to get up early.
Ming Xi was in a daze, sitting in front of the dressing table and letting Aunt Zhou and the others help her make up.
After Mingxi finished her makeup, she was startled when she saw herself in the mirror, and felt that she had reached a new height of beauty.
Ming Xi was wearing an orange-red flag dress, embroidered with patterns of flowers blooming and wealth, she was dressed very luxuriously.
Considering entering the palace, the makeup that Lushui and Luyi put on Mingxi is more dignified, which makes Mingxi look more dusty.
Ming Xi was very satisfied with her attire, so she had to be dignified and decent when entering the palace for the first time, and she couldn't let the empresses in the palace, especially the concubine De, think that she was a seductive little fairy.
After getting dressed, Ming Xi started to have breakfast.I'm going to the palace today, I don't know when I can have lunch, if I don't eat more, I will be hungry.In order to maintain a good image, she must not eat too much at lunch, so hurry up and eat more now.
"Cian Fujin, you can't eat too much, or it's not good to go to the toilet frequently." Aunt Zhou reminded.
"I know." Before entering the palace, Mingxi learned a lot of palace rules from Aunt Zhou, and also learned a lot of palace etiquette.I found it really troublesome to eat in the palace.
When Mingxi finished her breakfast, Fujin sent someone over to remind her.
Mingxi took Aunt Zhou to the main courtyard, leaving Lushui and Luyi to stay in Mingxu Garden.
Lu Shui and Lu Yi are too young, not only inexperienced, but also don't know the rules of the palace, so naturally they can't take them there.
Aunt Zhou has stayed in the palace for decades and is very familiar with the palace, so it is most appropriate to take her there.
"My concubine has met Fujin personally, and Fujin is auspicious!"
Fujin glanced at Mingxi's attire, a trace of jealousy flashed across his eyes, but it disappeared quickly.
"My sister is here, let's go."
"Yes."
Mingxi didn't make a carriage with Fujin, her carriage followed Fujin's carriage.
"Ci Fujin, it takes half an hour to arrive at the palace. If you feel sleepy, you can take a nap for a while. When you arrive, the servant will call you."
In order not to wrinkle the new clothes, Ming Xi sat on the carriage and did not dare to move.Hearing what Aunt Zhou said now, she could only lean her head against the wall of the carriage and squint for a while.
"Okay, call me when you arrive." She woke up too early this morning, and she is still a little sleepy.If you don't squint for a while, it will be impolite to yawn in the palace.
"Yes, Fang Fujin."
Half an hour later, Ming Xi was woken up by Aunt Zhou, who had already arrived in the palace.
Ming Xi tidied up her appearance, helped Aunt Zhou out of the carriage, and walked to Fujin's side.
Fujin glanced at Ming Xi, and said: "I'll take you to see Er Niang first, Er Niang is a serious person, don't talk nonsense."
"Yes, I will remember what Fujin said."
"Don't talk too much, you can answer whatever Er Niang asks."
"Yes." Ming Xi originally thought that Fujin would not say anything to her, but did not expect to tell her something.
"No matter what Er Niang says, you can only listen and not refute, you understand?"
"My concubine knows."
"I will take you to see the Queen Mother after I have paid my respects to Er Niang. The Queen Mother is a kind person, but she can't speak Chinese, and Manchu is not very good. She can only speak Mongolian. If you don't understand, you can't Don't ask, just listen."
"Don't worry, Fujin, I can speak Mongolian."
Hearing what Mingxi said, Fujin was slightly surprised, and then thought that Mingxi's grandmother was Mongolian, and it was normal for her to speak Mongolian.
"That's good." Qi Jia's ability to speak Mongolian might make the Queen Mother happy, which is not a good thing.
"My concubine's grandmother is Mongolian, and I have learned Mongolian from my grandmother since I was a child."
"Okay, let's go to Yonghe Palace to greet Er Niang first."
"Yes."
Ming Xi followed Fujin, shuttling through the Forbidden City.
In her previous life, she had been to the Forbidden City many times, and she didn't feel much at that time.However, walking in the Forbidden City now, she felt a little nervous and uneasy.
The current Forbidden City is the place with the highest power in this era. The people living here are all high-ranking and powerful people, and they are also people who control other people's lives at will.If you're not careful, you might lose your head.
To be honest, from the first step she walked into the Forbidden City, she felt the majesty of imperial power, which made her feel very depressed.
If she had to choose between the magnificent Forbidden City and the ordinary Lord Belle's mansion, she would rather live in Lord Belle's mansion.
Although the Forbidden City is the most noble place in this era, she doesn't like it.
Fujin glanced at Mingxi who was walking behind her, seeing Mingxi walking with her head down, looking around without curiosity, she was a little surprised in her heart.
It was Qi Jia's first time entering the palace, she was so calm, she really underestimated her.
Follow Fujin left and right, and finally arrive at Yonghe Palace.
Fujin spoke to the maid guarding the door, and the maid saluted and went in to report.Then, Fujin took Mingxi in.
"My son pays homage to Er Niang, E Niang is blessed and safe!"
"The son-in-law Qi Jia pays respects to Er Niang, E Niang is blessed and safe!"
"Get up."
"Thank you mother."
"Emiang, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my son will bring Qi Jia, who has just been canonized as a side Fujin, into the palace to greet you."
Hearing Fujin introduce her, Ming Xi knelt down to Concubine De again, and made a big salute: "My son Qi Jia pays respects to Er Niang, E Niang is blessed and safe!"
Concubine De sat on it, looked down at Ming Xi who was kneeling on the ground, and said a little coldly: "Raise your head."
Ming Xi raised her head slowly, lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly at Concubine De.
Seeing Ming Xi's face, Concubine De's eyes flashed with astonishment. After not seeing her for a few months, this Qi Jia family became beautiful again.Then he frowned slightly, and dissatisfaction flashed across his eyes.
"Not long after you entered the fourth son's mansion, you were canonized as a side Fujin without giving birth to a boy and a half daughter for the fourth son." Concubine De said coldly, "In the future, you must study hard from Fujin, abide by the rules, and serve as soon as possible." The old four spread their branches and leaves."
When Mingxi heard what Concubine De said, she was sure that Concubine De was very dissatisfied with her canonization as a side Fujin.
"My son will always remember Er Niang's teachings."
"You have been canonized as a side Fujin, don't get carried away with complacency, you must abide by the rules even more, and serve the fourth child and Fujin wholeheartedly, you know?"
"My son knows."
Seeing Mingxi's submissive face, Concubine De had a slightly better impression of her.
"Get up."
"Thank you mother!" Ming Xi stood up, obediently stepped aside and stood aside.Concubine De didn't give her a seat, so she didn't dare to sit.
Concubine De looked at Fujin: "As Fujin, you should teach the people in the mansion well, and don't let them break the rules."
When Ming Xi heard this, she felt that Concubine De was talking about her.
"Remember, my son."
Concubine De looked at Fujin, thinking of her newly born grandson.
"Bring big brother over here and show me."
"Yes, my mother!"
The nanny brought the eldest elder brother over, first saluted to Concubine De, and then carried the eldest elder brother in front of Concubine De.
Concubine De didn't reach out to hug eldest elder brother into her arms, but sat and looked at it for a while.
"He looks good, and his eyebrows and eyes are a bit like the fourth child."
Seeing this scene from the corner of her eyes, Ming Xi guessed in her heart that Concubine De didn't seem to like her grandson, elder brother, not only did she not reach out to hug elder brother, but she also did not appear very happy.
"Thank you, my mother, for the compliment."
Shen Momo saw that Concubine De's reaction was a bit flat, she felt that it was inappropriate, and said: "Madam, this servant thinks Elder Brother looks more like you."
"Is it?"
"Yes, take a closer look, the elder brother's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to yours." Sister Shen said with a smile, "The elder brother has a chubby face, and he looks really good. You are lucky at first glance."
When Concubine De heard what Shen Shen said, she could only show a gentle smile in cooperation: "He is a blessed child." After finishing speaking, she looked at Fujin, "Brother is the eldest son of the fourth son, you must take good care of him , there can be no more mistakes, you know?"
When Fujin heard De Concubine's words, he knew that De Concubine hadn't taken good care of Elder Brother before talking about her, which caused Elder Brother to have a fever all the time.
"I know that I will definitely do my best to take care of elder brother."
"I hope that the big elder brother's fever last time will not happen again."
When Fujin heard this, he said in his heart that it was true.
"My son will definitely take good care of elder brother."
After De Concubine finished speaking, she looked at Ming Xi who was beside her: "Qi Jia, you are now canonized as a side Fujin, and you have to spread the branches and leaves for the fourth child early, and give birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins for the fourth child, otherwise the emperor will be wasted." Canonize you as the will of the Fujin."
Ming Xi was extremely obedient: "My son will definitely work hard!" Apart from saying this, she didn't know what to say.
"Li Shi gave birth to the second elder brother to the fourth son, how about the second elder brother?" Concubine De turned to look at Fujin and asked.
"Returning to Erniang, Mrs. Li and the second elder brother are both very good, especially the second elder brother is very healthy."
"That's good." Concubine De just asked about the second elder brother, and then didn't mention it again.
Concubine De rewarded the elder brother with a lot of things, and then took Fujin and Ming Xi to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay respects to the Empress Dowager.
When they went to the Palace of Compassion, Concubine Yi was bringing her two daughters-in-law to greet the Queen Mother.
Before going in, she heard Concubine Yi's laughter, Concubine De frowned slightly, she knew it was a step late.
Concubine De led Fujin and Mingxi into the room, and greeted the Queen Mother.
"Oh, where did this beautiful girl come from?" Concubine Yi saw Ming Xi, and was utterly amazed by Ming Xi's appearance. "Sister Defei, is this also your daughter-in-law?"
"This is the fourth brother's side Fujin."
Concubine Yi immediately came to her senses, with a dazed look on her face: "It's that twin."
"Concubine Yi is auspicious!" Ming Xi saluted Concubine Yi.
Concubine Yi looked at Ming Xi from head to toe, and exclaimed as she watched: "It's the first time I've seen such a good-looking little girl, Sister De Concubine, you are really lucky."
The Empress Dowager looked at Mingxi, agreed with Yifei's words very much, and said in Mongolian: "You are really handsome."
Ming Xi replied in Mongolian: "Thank you Queen Mother for your compliment!"
Seeing that Mingxi could speak Mongolian, the queen mother was surprised: "You can speak Mongolian?"
"Erchen's grandmother is from Horqin, and Erchen has learned Mongolian from his grandmother since he was a child."
Upon hearing the word Horqin, the Queen Mother opened her eyes very wide, and asked with surprise, "Is your grandmother from Horqin?"
"Yes, Erchen's grandmother is from the Horqin tribe."
"Girl, come here!" The queen mother smiled and waved to Ming Xi.
The people present couldn't understand what Ming Xi said to the queen mother, but seeing the happy face of the queen mother, they knew that Ming Xi was very pleased with the queen mother.
When Fujin saw this scene, a cold light flashed across his eyes, and she really expected it.
The Empress Dowager pulled Mingxi and asked about Mingxi's grandmother carefully.
Although Mingxi's grandmother is from Horqin, she is not from the Borgit family.However, this does not hinder the Queen Mother's joy.
There are very few Mongols in the palace now.Even if there are Mongols, they are all from other tribes, very few from Horqin.
Now seeing a grandmother who is from Horqin, the Queen Mother has a kind of intimacy to see a fellow villager.
"Have you ever been to Horqin?"
"I have been, I often went to Horqin to play when I was a child."
"Tell Ai's family about going to Horqin when you were a child." Since the Queen Mother married Lord Shunzhi, she has never been back to Horqin, and she misses her hometown more and more.Now I am very excited to meet someone who can speak Mongolian and has been to Horqin.
Concubine De was shocked and surprised when she saw that the Empress Dowager liked Mingxi so much.
Concubine Yi felt a little upset when she saw that Mingxi was so liked by the Queen Mother.The queen mother has never been so warm to her daughter-in-law.
Seeing Mingxi talking and laughing with the queen mother, looking very intimate, Fujin was very jealous and unwilling.
Mrs. Liang couldn't believe it, and confirmed with her husband again and again: "Xiaoxi has been named a side Fujin, is it true? You must have heard it wrong, right? Or have you been deceived?" Xiaoxi entered the fourth master's mansion In less than half a year, not only did Sibeile not give birth to a boy and a half girl, she was not even pregnant yet, so how could she become a side Fujin.
Mingrui was not angry when asked repeatedly by Mrs. Liang, and said with a smile: "It's true, who dares to make a joke about such a thing!"
"But..." Liang's face was full of shock, and he said in disbelief, "How is it possible? How could Xiao Xi be named a side Fujin?" This is against the rules.
"I heard from others that the emperor thought that our Xiaoxi was a twin and auspicious, so he canonized her as a side Fujin." Mingrui also found it strange that Xiaoxi had not been accused of giving birth to Sibeile for half a year, nor had she given birth to a son for Sibeile. Besides, they didn't make great contributions to the court, so how could they suddenly canonize Xiaoxi as a side Fujin.
Mrs. Liang didn't believe this statement, "Isn't it too far-fetched to confer Xiaoxi as a side Fujin because of this?"
Mingrui shook his head lightly: "No matter what is the reason for conferring Xiaoxi as a side Fujin, it is a good thing that Xiaoxi is now a side Fujin of Sibeile Mansion." He just said that his second daughter is a worthy Blessed.
Liang's daughter was canonized as a side Fujin, and Liang was naturally happy, but at the same time he was also very disturbed.
"Xiaoxi was conferred the title of side Fujin without giving birth to Lord Baylor's son. This will only make her life in Baylor's mansion difficult." May be convinced.
Hearing what his wife said, Mingrui couldn't help but feel worried, and then pretended to be calm and comforted his wife: "Now Xiaoxi is already a Fujin, and no one can do anything to her except Fujin. Besides, Xiaoxi has been smart since she was a child." , nothing will happen." The second daughter is not only beautiful, but also very smart, only she can bully others, and no one else can bully her.
"I'm afraid that Fujin doesn't like Xiaoxi." Xiaoxi is so good-looking, and is loved by Sibeile, and now she is invited by Sibeile to be a side Fujin, how could Fujin have no opinion at all.
"The last time Xiaoxi came back, it can be seen that Sibeile loves Xiaoxi very much, and Sibeile should protect Xiaoxi." When Mingrui said this, he was not very confident, but he had to comfort his wife , Don't let your wife worry about your daughter.
"Si Baylor can't protect Xiaoxi forever." Ever since her daughter's success in the draft was pointed to Si Baylor, she has never felt at ease.When her daughter was Princess of Four Baylor, she was worried that her daughter would be bullied by other Princesses.Now that her daughter has become a side Fujin, she is even more worried.The daughter is already beautiful, and is the object of envy of all women.Now that her daughter has been given the title of side Fujin, I'm afraid that other women in Sibeile's mansion will hate her to death and try their best to get rid of her.
"No matter how much we think about it, it's useless." Mingrui raised his hand and patted Liang's shoulder lightly, "Our little Xi is blessed, she will definitely turn the bad luck into good luck, and nothing will happen!"
Liang knew that no matter how worried she was, it was useless, so she could only recite Buddhist scriptures several times a day and pray for her daughter.
"Didn't Xiao Xi be told by a fortune teller before that she would be blessed in this life and that she would be rich and rich? See if the fortune teller told Xiao Xi right now?"
Hearing what Mingrui said, Mrs. Liang felt a lot relieved when she remembered that there was such a thing.
"Yes." I hope Xiaoxi will always be blessed in this life.
Thinking of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ming Rui suddenly became very disappointed.
"Xiaoxi is now a side Fujin. According to the rules, she will enter the palace to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Unfortunately, I have no skills. I can't enter the palace and see Xiaoxi." If his official position is high, he and his wife can enter the palace to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival Festival, when the time comes to see the second daughter.
At this time, Ming Xu suddenly walked in and said: "Ama, Er Niang, I plan to take the imperial examination." Their family has no background, and it is not easy for him and Ama to climb up.If he often sees his sister when he is a high official, then he will work hard to be a high official.The fastest way to become a high official is to take the imperial examination.
Mingrui and Liang were taken aback by his son's words: "Are you going to take the imperial examination?"
Mingxu nodded firmly, "I want to be a high official, so I can only take the imperial examination." As long as he becomes a high official and has power, he can help his sister and prevent her from being bullied.
Hearing his son's declaration, Mingrui felt very relieved, and said with a smile, "Since you have decided to take the imperial examination, go for it." Their family has no background, and the fastest way to become a high official is to take the imperial examination. imperial examination.
Encouraged by Liang, "Emiang believes you can do it." Although the son is not as smart as the daughter, he is not stupid, and maybe it will really work if he takes part in the imperial examination.
Seeing that both Ama and Er Niang supported him to take the imperial examination, Mingxu felt relieved.
"Ama, Erniang, don't worry, I will definitely study hard and try to pass the exam."
Since his daughter left home, his son has suddenly become much calmer and more mature.
"Hahahaha..." Suddenly, there was a burst of ridicule, and an ordinary-looking woman in her twenties came in with a sneer on her face, "It's just you who want to take part in the imperial examination, don't go out and embarrass yourself!"
"Ming Jia, what are you talking about?!" Ming Rui reprimanded with a scowling face when he heard the eldest daughter say this.
"Why do you despise me, the eldest daughter of a widow who is a widow, when I have a youngest daughter who is Lord Baylor's side Fujin?"
"You..." Mingrui was very angry at the elder daughter's words.
Mingxu mocked at the side: "I just despise you, a widow!"
"Qi Jia's Ming Xu!" Ming Jia glared at Ming Xu angrily, as if he was about to eat him.
Ming Xu crossed his arms and looked at Ming Jia sarcastically: "What qualifications do you have to compare with my sister? Not only is she ugly, but she is also a widow who died of a husband and ran back to her mother's house without shame." Ming Xu's lip service Reach out to Ming Xi for influence.Although he can't speak to Ming Xi, but he is very good at teasing others.
When Ming Jia heard these words, his eyes were dark, and he raised his hand and waved towards Ming Xu.
Ming Xu reached out and grabbed Ming Jia's wrist, and said with a cold face, "Qi Jia's Ming Jia, you can't even compare to my sister's hair."
"Qi Jia's Ming Xu!!!" Ming Jia roared angrily.
Ming Xu threw Ming Jia to the ground, looking down at Ming Jia: "You are married, this family is no longer yours, you'd better be honest with me, or don't blame me for being ruthless. "
"Ama, this is your good son!" Ming Jia shouted at Ming Rui angrily.
Mingrui looked at his eldest daughter with guilt and anger in his eyes.
"Okay, okay, you guys are united to bully me, who killed my mother and her husband, you are trying to force me to death."
"If you want to die, die now." Ming Xu said with a cold face.
"You..." Of course Ming Jia didn't have the guts to die, nor did she want to die.After being told by Mingxu, he could only lie down, and sat on the ground and started crying. "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."
Seeing Ming Jia making this move again, Ming Xu's eyes were filled with cold sarcasm, and he left with a cold snort.Before leaving, he dragged Mrs. Liang away, leaving Mingrui alone to face Mingjia.
Ming Xu has always been very dissatisfied with Ming Rui's connivance with Ming Jia, but as a junior, he can't explain anything to Rui, so he can only turn a blind eye.
Seeing the eldest daughter crying, Mingrui didn't look at all, and felt angry, helpless, and guilty. In the end, he didn't say anything, sighed heavily, turned around and left without saying anything else.
"Er Niang, my daughter should have gone with you, otherwise I wouldn't have suffered such humiliation." Ming Jia sat on the ground and continued to cry, "Er Niang, you are not here, I am so pitiful... woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Woo."
When Mingrui heard his eldest daughter mention her mother-in-law, he thought of his ex-wife, and a deep sense of guilt flashed in his eyes.The most sorry person in his life is his ex-wife and his eldest daughter.
"Ama, if you despise me, drive me out of the house, so that I won't get in your way by staying at home."
Mingrui left without saying anything.He had heard Ming Jia's words many times.
After Ming Rui left, Ming Jia stopped crying, but her eyes were full of deep hatred.
Her life is so miserable, why is Qi Jia's Mingxi so lucky to become the side Fujin of Lord Belle's mansion? !
She is also the daughter of Qi Jia's family, why does that bastard Ming Xi have everything going well, but she doesn't?
She should have ruined the face of that bitch Ming Xi, so that she could not participate in the draft and become the side Fujin of Lord Baylor's mansion!
She's not doing well, that bitch Ming Xi shouldn't be doing well either!
Ming Xi, who was far away in Sibeile Mansion, didn't know that she was hated by Qi Jia's Ming Jia again.
At this time, she was tinkering with mooncakes.
It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, and it's time to eat mooncakes.
The moon cakes in this era are too monotonous, unlike later generations with so many fillings.Before Mingxi entered Si Ye's mansion, every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, she would make mooncakes for future generations at home.
Ming Xi wrote down the recipe for making moon cakes for future generations, and handed them to Lu Yi, asking her to send the little pigeons to the dining room, so that Ma Benshan in the dining room could make them.
Seeing what Ming Xi wrote, Lu Yi's eyes widened in shock: "Ci Fujin, how come there are mooncakes with egg yolk fillings, and mooncakes with ham fillings?" Can such mooncakes be eaten?
"Of course it is edible, and it tastes good." The mooncake recipe written by Mingxi has various fillings: osmanthus mooncake, prunes mooncake, five kernels, red bean paste, rose, rock sugar, gingko, black sesame, ham mooncake , egg yolk moon cakes, etc.
Aunt Zhou walked over, glanced at the prescription in Luyi's hand, and was surprised by the various fillings Mingxi wrote.
The moon cakes written by Cian Fujin have a variety of fillings, can they be eaten?
Seeing that Aunt Zhou and the others looked suspicious, Ming Xi didn't say anything: "Just give the recipe to the dining room, and Master Ma can make it." She was very confident in Master Ma in the dining room, and every time she came out of the kitchen, she Master Ma can make all kinds of food.
Ma Benshan of the dining room did not find it strange to receive the mooncake recipe written by Mingxi, but thought it opened the door to a new world. It turns out that mooncakes can be made with so many fillings, and egg yolk and ham can also be used as fillings for mooncakes. Why didn't I think of it before!
After getting the mooncake recipe, Ma Benshan was full of energy to make mooncakes.
On the same day, I made several kinds of fruit-filled mooncakes, such as sweet-scented osmanthus mooncakes, prunes mooncakes, rose mooncakes, and rock sugar mooncakes.
After it was done, Ma Benshan sent Xiaodouzi to Mingxu Garden as soon as possible.
Ming Xi received newly made moon cakes, and tasted each of them, and they tasted good.When the fourth master comes in the evening, Ming Xi will bring the newly made mooncakes to the fourth master to taste.
Fourth Master is not interested in sweets, and the several mooncakes that Ma Benshan made today are very sweet.Fourth master took a bite and didn't eat any more.
"Grandpa, I'll ask the dining room to make some salty mooncakes for you to try in two days."
"Salty mooncakes?" This was the first time Fourth Master had heard of it.
"Yes, it's delicious."
Fourth Master didn't understand where Mingxi came up with so many weird ideas, and made all kinds of food that had never been seen before.
Mingxi suddenly thought of last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, when she made mooncakes with Er Niang, this year...
Seeing Mingxi's look lonely, fourth master asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
Ming Xi raised her head and shook her head slightly at Fourth Master: "It's nothing." In fact, she was homesick, but she couldn't tell Fourth Master.Last time she said she was homesick, fourth master took her home.Back at the mansion, a lot of gossip arose.This time, she had just been conferred the title of side Fujin. If she was brought back to her natal family by the fourth master, the people in the mansion would be even more dissatisfied.In order to have a quiet Mid-Autumn Festival, she still doesn't want to talk about homesickness.
"Sick of home?" Fourth master guessed right.
"I don't really think too much about it. After all, the Lord took me back last time." Ming Xiyan said insincerely.
"You really don't want to?"
Ming Xi shook her head: "I don't really think about it, but I have something to tell my master."
"whats the matter?"
"Grandpa, can I send some mooncakes back?" I can't celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with Ama and the others this year and have a reunion dinner together, but at least I can send some things back, and I will send a message to Ama and the others so that they don't worry about her.
"Yes." The fourth master raised his hand and gently touched Mingxi's head and said, "In the future, if you want to send something back, you can send someone to deliver it directly, and you don't need to ask me one by one." Say no to home.
Hearing what Fourth Master said, Ming Xi's eyes suddenly became bright: "Thank you, Master!"
Seeing Mingxi recovering, Fourth Master had a smile in his eyes: "You..."
Ming Xi suddenly thought of entering the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and her expression immediately became distressed: "Master, I will also enter the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Do I have to prepare gifts?" go.
"It's enough for you to prepare two gifts." Fourth Master said, "One for Er Niang and one for the emperor's grandmother."
"Master, what does Empress Concubine De like?"
"Emiang likes to worship the Buddha."
"Worshiping the Buddha?" Ming Xi complained in her heart, why did she think that all the daughters-in-law of the Aixinjueluo family liked to worship the Buddha. "Then shall I give Buddhist scriptures to Empress Defei?"
"Your writing... don't copy Buddhist scriptures."
"If you don't give Buddhist scriptures, what should I give?"
"I have a string of Buddhist beads, you can give it to Erniang."
"Master, you gave me the Buddha beads, what did you give De Concubine Empress?"
"I still have a jade Buddha statue in my place, and I will give it to Er Niang when the time comes."
Hearing what the fourth master said, Ming Xi felt relieved, and said gratefully, "Thank you!" The fourth master is so considerate.
Fourth Master took a deep look at Ming Xi, and said meaningfully: "If you really want to thank me, you can show it with actions."
Hearing this, Mingxi glared at Fourth Master coquettishly, and scolded in a low voice: "Rogue..." Since she became a Fujin, she found that Fourth Master needs her a lot, and he has become gentle towards her a lot.
Fourth Master recently fell in love with playing sports with Ming Xi, and felt very comfortable.It was not comfortable before, but it is more comfortable now.
Fourth Master didn't know that this feeling was the unity of soul and body, and exercising in harmony with each other would naturally be very refreshing.
Two days later, Ma Benshan from the dining room made all the mooncakes that Ming Xi asked for.
Mingxi originally wanted to give it to Fujin and Song Gege, but she thought that it would be dangerous to give food to others, and she would be easily framed, so she decided not to.
After wrapping up the finished mooncakes, Ming Xi asked Lu Shui to go to a Qi Jia family's house again.
Mrs. Liang was very happy to see Lushui coming, and was very moved when she learned that her daughter had made mooncakes and sent them back.
"Miss Lushui, how is Xiao Xi doing in the mansion after she was conferred the title of side Fujin?"
"Ma'am, please don't worry, Chu Fujin is very good. Lord Belle loves Chu Fujin very much." Mingxi sent Lushui to Qi Jia's house not to deliver mooncakes, but to let Lushui tell Ama about her stay in Baylor's mansion They, let them not worry about her.
"Xiao Xi was suddenly named a side Fujin, is Fujin dissatisfied?"
"No, Fujin is very happy, and gave a pair of emerald bracelets to Fujin."
"What about the rest?"
"I'm not dissatisfied at all, after all, the emperor personally ordered Ge Ge to be conferred the title of side Fujin."
Hearing what Lu Shui said, Mrs. Liang instantly felt relieved.
"That's good." In the past few days, she has been in a state of ups and downs, worrying about her daughter's accident in the Baylor Mansion and being framed.
"Ma'am, the purpose of letting this slave over here is to tell you that she is fine in the mansion, so you don't need to worry about her." After Lu Shui finished speaking, he added, "There is Aunt Zhou next to Fujin, she is an old man. She used to be the etiquette nanny in the palace, she taught the rules of beautiful women in the palace, and she once served the empress dowager, she has a lot of experience, with Aunt Zhou by side Fujin, you don't have to worry about it."
Hearing these words, Liang's worried heart was completely relieved.
"That's great."
"Master Belle was afraid that Fujin would be bullied, so he specially invited Aunt Zhou to the mansion to serve Fujin." Lu Shui said with a smile, "It is Lord Belle who personally asked the emperor to seal Fujin." Lu Shui said with a smile. Yes, you can rest assured."
"So that's how it is!" It turned out that Lord Belle personally invited Xiaoxi to be named a side Fujin, so it seems that Lord Belle really dotes on Xiaoxi, so she can rest assured.
"Cian Fujin asked the servant to tell you that you, the lord, and the young master, don't worry about her, she will be fine." Lu Shui said seriously, "Cian Fujin also told the lord and the young master to pay more attention to it, don't worry about it." I was fooled by someone with a heart."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liang's face instantly became serious: "I see, I will tell her about Ama and her younger brother."
"Ci Fujin also said that Qi Jia's Mingjia is not a fuel-efficient lamp. When he finds out that she has become a side Fujin, he will definitely play tricks secretly and let the young master send someone to keep an eye on Qi Jia's Mingjia."
Liang suddenly thought that her daughter was almost scratched by Ming Jia before the draft, and now she heard what Lu Shui said, which made her feel full of vigilance.
"I see. I will send someone to keep an eye on Ming Jia." She would never let Ming Jia harm Xiao Xi.
"Cian Fujin said that she will find a way to come back when the young master gets married."
"Miss Lushui, tell Xiaoxi that she is now a Fujin, and she must follow the rules in everything she does, and don't be picked on by others." Liang urged, "When Xiaoxu gets married, Xiaoxi will marry her." Don't come back, and save yourself from being slandered by people in Lord Baylor's house."
"Madam's words, the slave will tell Fang Fujin."
"By the way, tell Xiaoxi that Xiaoxu has decided to take the imperial examination to pursue his official career." Liang's eyes were full of relief when he thought of his son's hard work studying during this time, "Xiaoxu said that he wanted to be a high-ranking official and be his My sister's strong backing."
"The relationship between the young master and Zan Fujin is really good."
"Yes, their siblings have always had a good relationship since they were young."
Lu Shui chatted with Liang Shi for a while, and before leaving, Liang Shi asked Lu Shui to bring some things to Mingxi.
Back at Mingxu Garden, Lu Shui told Ming Xi all of Liang's words.
"That kid is really brazen and wants to be a high-ranking official." Ming Xi was both moved and gratified when his younger brother wanted to take the imperial examination to pursue his official career.
"Cian Fujin, the young master is also for you." Lu Shui said.
"I know, but I'm afraid he's not suitable for officialdom." The struggle for official property is more intense than that of the harem, and if you don't pay attention, you will suffer.That kid Mingxu is not very scheming, she is really afraid that he will suffer.
Aunt Zhou comforted her from the side: "Ci Fujin, no one is naturally suitable to be an official. The young master may not adapt at first, but he will soon adapt."
"The officialdom is much more miserable than the harem."
"It is."
"Although that boy is not as smart as me, he is smarter than others. It shouldn't be a big problem to take the imperial examination." Since the boy decided to take the imperial examination, she, the older sister, should support him.
Aunt Zhou and the others were amused by Ming Xi's words: "Ci Fujin, the young master will definitely be good."
"That's true, no matter how you say he is my twin brother, he is also a lucky person."
When the fourth master came to Mingxu Garden, Ming Xi told the fourth master about Mingxu's decision to take part in the imperial examination.
"It's a good decision to take the imperial examination." The fourth master agreed with Ming Xu's decision, but... "How is your brother studying?" This stupid girl doesn't like studying, and her brother probably doesn't like studying either.
"He's good at reading." Ming Xi said with a smile, "He was able to sit down and read when he was young, but I can't. He's better than me in this regard."
"That's good. I'll arrange a gentleman to teach your younger brother." Since this girl's younger brother decided to take the imperial examination to pursue his official career, he will help him.
"Thank you, Master!" Ming Xi kissed fourth master's lips forcefully, "Master, you are the best!"
"I hope your brother is a malleable talent!"
"That kid can't do anything else, but he is good at reading." The kid used to like reading, but he didn't want to take the imperial examination, he didn't want to be an official.However, for her elder sister, he decided to take the imperial examination and then pursue an official career, which moved her very much.
"That's good." If this girl's younger brother is really good at studying, he will train him well.
Soon, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, just after dawn, Mingxi was woken up by Aunt Zhou and the others.
Today is early in the morning to enter the palace, so Ming Xi has to get up early.
Ming Xi was in a daze, sitting in front of the dressing table and letting Aunt Zhou and the others help her make up.
After Mingxi finished her makeup, she was startled when she saw herself in the mirror, and felt that she had reached a new height of beauty.
Ming Xi was wearing an orange-red flag dress, embroidered with patterns of flowers blooming and wealth, she was dressed very luxuriously.
Considering entering the palace, the makeup that Lushui and Luyi put on Mingxi is more dignified, which makes Mingxi look more dusty.
Ming Xi was very satisfied with her attire, so she had to be dignified and decent when entering the palace for the first time, and she couldn't let the empresses in the palace, especially the concubine De, think that she was a seductive little fairy.
After getting dressed, Ming Xi started to have breakfast.I'm going to the palace today, I don't know when I can have lunch, if I don't eat more, I will be hungry.In order to maintain a good image, she must not eat too much at lunch, so hurry up and eat more now.
"Cian Fujin, you can't eat too much, or it's not good to go to the toilet frequently." Aunt Zhou reminded.
"I know." Before entering the palace, Mingxi learned a lot of palace rules from Aunt Zhou, and also learned a lot of palace etiquette.I found it really troublesome to eat in the palace.
When Mingxi finished her breakfast, Fujin sent someone over to remind her.
Mingxi took Aunt Zhou to the main courtyard, leaving Lushui and Luyi to stay in Mingxu Garden.
Lu Shui and Lu Yi are too young, not only inexperienced, but also don't know the rules of the palace, so naturally they can't take them there.
Aunt Zhou has stayed in the palace for decades and is very familiar with the palace, so it is most appropriate to take her there.
"My concubine has met Fujin personally, and Fujin is auspicious!"
Fujin glanced at Mingxi's attire, a trace of jealousy flashed across his eyes, but it disappeared quickly.
"My sister is here, let's go."
"Yes."
Mingxi didn't make a carriage with Fujin, her carriage followed Fujin's carriage.
"Ci Fujin, it takes half an hour to arrive at the palace. If you feel sleepy, you can take a nap for a while. When you arrive, the servant will call you."
In order not to wrinkle the new clothes, Ming Xi sat on the carriage and did not dare to move.Hearing what Aunt Zhou said now, she could only lean her head against the wall of the carriage and squint for a while.
"Okay, call me when you arrive." She woke up too early this morning, and she is still a little sleepy.If you don't squint for a while, it will be impolite to yawn in the palace.
"Yes, Fang Fujin."
Half an hour later, Ming Xi was woken up by Aunt Zhou, who had already arrived in the palace.
Ming Xi tidied up her appearance, helped Aunt Zhou out of the carriage, and walked to Fujin's side.
Fujin glanced at Ming Xi, and said: "I'll take you to see Er Niang first, Er Niang is a serious person, don't talk nonsense."
"Yes, I will remember what Fujin said."
"Don't talk too much, you can answer whatever Er Niang asks."
"Yes." Ming Xi originally thought that Fujin would not say anything to her, but did not expect to tell her something.
"No matter what Er Niang says, you can only listen and not refute, you understand?"
"My concubine knows."
"I will take you to see the Queen Mother after I have paid my respects to Er Niang. The Queen Mother is a kind person, but she can't speak Chinese, and Manchu is not very good. She can only speak Mongolian. If you don't understand, you can't Don't ask, just listen."
"Don't worry, Fujin, I can speak Mongolian."
Hearing what Mingxi said, Fujin was slightly surprised, and then thought that Mingxi's grandmother was Mongolian, and it was normal for her to speak Mongolian.
"That's good." Qi Jia's ability to speak Mongolian might make the Queen Mother happy, which is not a good thing.
"My concubine's grandmother is Mongolian, and I have learned Mongolian from my grandmother since I was a child."
"Okay, let's go to Yonghe Palace to greet Er Niang first."
"Yes."
Ming Xi followed Fujin, shuttling through the Forbidden City.
In her previous life, she had been to the Forbidden City many times, and she didn't feel much at that time.However, walking in the Forbidden City now, she felt a little nervous and uneasy.
The current Forbidden City is the place with the highest power in this era. The people living here are all high-ranking and powerful people, and they are also people who control other people's lives at will.If you're not careful, you might lose your head.
To be honest, from the first step she walked into the Forbidden City, she felt the majesty of imperial power, which made her feel very depressed.
If she had to choose between the magnificent Forbidden City and the ordinary Lord Belle's mansion, she would rather live in Lord Belle's mansion.
Although the Forbidden City is the most noble place in this era, she doesn't like it.
Fujin glanced at Mingxi who was walking behind her, seeing Mingxi walking with her head down, looking around without curiosity, she was a little surprised in her heart.
It was Qi Jia's first time entering the palace, she was so calm, she really underestimated her.
Follow Fujin left and right, and finally arrive at Yonghe Palace.
Fujin spoke to the maid guarding the door, and the maid saluted and went in to report.Then, Fujin took Mingxi in.
"My son pays homage to Er Niang, E Niang is blessed and safe!"
"The son-in-law Qi Jia pays respects to Er Niang, E Niang is blessed and safe!"
"Get up."
"Thank you mother."
"Emiang, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my son will bring Qi Jia, who has just been canonized as a side Fujin, into the palace to greet you."
Hearing Fujin introduce her, Ming Xi knelt down to Concubine De again, and made a big salute: "My son Qi Jia pays respects to Er Niang, E Niang is blessed and safe!"
Concubine De sat on it, looked down at Ming Xi who was kneeling on the ground, and said a little coldly: "Raise your head."
Ming Xi raised her head slowly, lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly at Concubine De.
Seeing Ming Xi's face, Concubine De's eyes flashed with astonishment. After not seeing her for a few months, this Qi Jia family became beautiful again.Then he frowned slightly, and dissatisfaction flashed across his eyes.
"Not long after you entered the fourth son's mansion, you were canonized as a side Fujin without giving birth to a boy and a half daughter for the fourth son." Concubine De said coldly, "In the future, you must study hard from Fujin, abide by the rules, and serve as soon as possible." The old four spread their branches and leaves."
When Mingxi heard what Concubine De said, she was sure that Concubine De was very dissatisfied with her canonization as a side Fujin.
"My son will always remember Er Niang's teachings."
"You have been canonized as a side Fujin, don't get carried away with complacency, you must abide by the rules even more, and serve the fourth child and Fujin wholeheartedly, you know?"
"My son knows."
Seeing Mingxi's submissive face, Concubine De had a slightly better impression of her.
"Get up."
"Thank you mother!" Ming Xi stood up, obediently stepped aside and stood aside.Concubine De didn't give her a seat, so she didn't dare to sit.
Concubine De looked at Fujin: "As Fujin, you should teach the people in the mansion well, and don't let them break the rules."
When Ming Xi heard this, she felt that Concubine De was talking about her.
"Remember, my son."
Concubine De looked at Fujin, thinking of her newly born grandson.
"Bring big brother over here and show me."
"Yes, my mother!"
The nanny brought the eldest elder brother over, first saluted to Concubine De, and then carried the eldest elder brother in front of Concubine De.
Concubine De didn't reach out to hug eldest elder brother into her arms, but sat and looked at it for a while.
"He looks good, and his eyebrows and eyes are a bit like the fourth child."
Seeing this scene from the corner of her eyes, Ming Xi guessed in her heart that Concubine De didn't seem to like her grandson, elder brother, not only did she not reach out to hug elder brother, but she also did not appear very happy.
"Thank you, my mother, for the compliment."
Shen Momo saw that Concubine De's reaction was a bit flat, she felt that it was inappropriate, and said: "Madam, this servant thinks Elder Brother looks more like you."
"Is it?"
"Yes, take a closer look, the elder brother's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to yours." Sister Shen said with a smile, "The elder brother has a chubby face, and he looks really good. You are lucky at first glance."
When Concubine De heard what Shen Shen said, she could only show a gentle smile in cooperation: "He is a blessed child." After finishing speaking, she looked at Fujin, "Brother is the eldest son of the fourth son, you must take good care of him , there can be no more mistakes, you know?"
When Fujin heard De Concubine's words, he knew that De Concubine hadn't taken good care of Elder Brother before talking about her, which caused Elder Brother to have a fever all the time.
"I know that I will definitely do my best to take care of elder brother."
"I hope that the big elder brother's fever last time will not happen again."
When Fujin heard this, he said in his heart that it was true.
"My son will definitely take good care of elder brother."
After De Concubine finished speaking, she looked at Ming Xi who was beside her: "Qi Jia, you are now canonized as a side Fujin, and you have to spread the branches and leaves for the fourth child early, and give birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins for the fourth child, otherwise the emperor will be wasted." Canonize you as the will of the Fujin."
Ming Xi was extremely obedient: "My son will definitely work hard!" Apart from saying this, she didn't know what to say.
"Li Shi gave birth to the second elder brother to the fourth son, how about the second elder brother?" Concubine De turned to look at Fujin and asked.
"Returning to Erniang, Mrs. Li and the second elder brother are both very good, especially the second elder brother is very healthy."
"That's good." Concubine De just asked about the second elder brother, and then didn't mention it again.
Concubine De rewarded the elder brother with a lot of things, and then took Fujin and Ming Xi to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay respects to the Empress Dowager.
When they went to the Palace of Compassion, Concubine Yi was bringing her two daughters-in-law to greet the Queen Mother.
Before going in, she heard Concubine Yi's laughter, Concubine De frowned slightly, she knew it was a step late.
Concubine De led Fujin and Mingxi into the room, and greeted the Queen Mother.
"Oh, where did this beautiful girl come from?" Concubine Yi saw Ming Xi, and was utterly amazed by Ming Xi's appearance. "Sister Defei, is this also your daughter-in-law?"
"This is the fourth brother's side Fujin."
Concubine Yi immediately came to her senses, with a dazed look on her face: "It's that twin."
"Concubine Yi is auspicious!" Ming Xi saluted Concubine Yi.
Concubine Yi looked at Ming Xi from head to toe, and exclaimed as she watched: "It's the first time I've seen such a good-looking little girl, Sister De Concubine, you are really lucky."
The Empress Dowager looked at Mingxi, agreed with Yifei's words very much, and said in Mongolian: "You are really handsome."
Ming Xi replied in Mongolian: "Thank you Queen Mother for your compliment!"
Seeing that Mingxi could speak Mongolian, the queen mother was surprised: "You can speak Mongolian?"
"Erchen's grandmother is from Horqin, and Erchen has learned Mongolian from his grandmother since he was a child."
Upon hearing the word Horqin, the Queen Mother opened her eyes very wide, and asked with surprise, "Is your grandmother from Horqin?"
"Yes, Erchen's grandmother is from the Horqin tribe."
"Girl, come here!" The queen mother smiled and waved to Ming Xi.
The people present couldn't understand what Ming Xi said to the queen mother, but seeing the happy face of the queen mother, they knew that Ming Xi was very pleased with the queen mother.
When Fujin saw this scene, a cold light flashed across his eyes, and she really expected it.
The Empress Dowager pulled Mingxi and asked about Mingxi's grandmother carefully.
Although Mingxi's grandmother is from Horqin, she is not from the Borgit family.However, this does not hinder the Queen Mother's joy.
There are very few Mongols in the palace now.Even if there are Mongols, they are all from other tribes, very few from Horqin.
Now seeing a grandmother who is from Horqin, the Queen Mother has a kind of intimacy to see a fellow villager.
"Have you ever been to Horqin?"
"I have been, I often went to Horqin to play when I was a child."
"Tell Ai's family about going to Horqin when you were a child." Since the Queen Mother married Lord Shunzhi, she has never been back to Horqin, and she misses her hometown more and more.Now I am very excited to meet someone who can speak Mongolian and has been to Horqin.
Concubine De was shocked and surprised when she saw that the Empress Dowager liked Mingxi so much.
Concubine Yi felt a little upset when she saw that Mingxi was so liked by the Queen Mother.The queen mother has never been so warm to her daughter-in-law.
Seeing Mingxi talking and laughing with the queen mother, looking very intimate, Fujin was very jealous and unwilling.
