Yongzheng period

It's just that the harem is peaceful and stable, and the queen's housekeeping is also indispensable, and the concubines dare not take credit for it. "

The mother has already presented the reward, it is the purple gold jade ruyi presented by Mongolia, the whole body is clear and warm to the touch.Yongzheng has never been stingy about face-saving projects. Everything that the Compassionate Palace deserves is of high quality, and there is no such thing as harsh treatment.

The Empress Dowager's eyes changed slightly after hearing Xinpin's words, but she only looked at her with a smile.Daiyu's eyes drooped slightly, she pursed her lips and smiled and said to Concubine Xin, "The Empress Dowager is sympathetic to your kind mother's heart for Seventh Elder Brother, why are you teasing me when you are not polite?" She turned her head and blinked again, covering her lips playfully Said, "My good sister, the queen mother has rewarded you, and I want to be a part of it. If I don't want to give it to you, I will miss it for nothing!"

Daiyu's eyes flickered, her expression was rare and charming, and everyone who said something laughed.Concubine Xin looked at her gratefully, and then took the jade ruyi.The queen mother saw that the queen's methods had improved a lot, and she sneered in her heart: This is only three days away from scholars, so you should look at it with admiration.There was a conciliatory smile on his face, and he said dryly, "Very well, what Concubine Xin said is right, and the empress has worked hard. Yinshuang, give the empress two pieces of brocade."

Daiyu thanked her respectfully, and the Empress Dowager turned her attention to An Lingrong again, and asked her gently, "Can you write?"

Ling Rong was a little embarrassed, but still calmly said, "I have read a few books, and I know a few words, but the handwriting is clumsy, and I'm afraid I won't catch the eyes of the Queen Mother."

"This is also very good. After reading a few books, it is enough to understand the truth." The queen mother cast her eyes on the queen who was openly deserting her errands, and said meaningfully, "My daughter's family is mostly based on the virtues of female workers, so that she can be virtuous and virtuous." Huide. If you read too many books, you will change your temperament."

From the corner of her eye, Daiyu stared at the delicate patterns on the 'Four Blessings Holding Longevity' organdy seriously, without blinking her eyes, as if she didn't hear anything.

The Empress Dowager was so angry that her chest was tight, and her subordinates might as well strengthen their strength. Brother Seven felt the pain from being squeezed, and he cried out with a flick of his mouth.The Empress Dowager was very embarrassed, and coaxed her in a hurry, but she was used to being noble, how could she know how to coax children?The more unruly he was, the more Seventh Brother cried harder.

Concubine Xin was so anxious to see the next one, she didn't dare to go forward because of her status, and hated the queen mother to the core.

Ninth elder brother Hong Yang looked at it for a while and suddenly ran up, pulled off a jade-colored transparent jade button on his waist and put it in the palm of Hong Yun's hand, and said softly, "Seventh brother is little Batulu, don't cry , play with your brother, okay?"

Seventh elder brother stared at it for a while, and sure enough, he stopped crying, and curiously grabbed the jade button in his hand to play with.Yinshuang took the opportunity to take Seventh Elder Brother away and put it in the arms of the nanny brought by Xinpin.

The little elder brother cried for a long time, his face flushed red, he ate too much snacks earlier, now he would hold the jade button and hum uncomfortably, the flustered mother picked him up and rubbed his lower abdomen.

Concubine Xin couldn't bear it any longer, and took a step forward with worry on her face, "Seventh elder brother is ignorant and weeps non-stop. The concubine is afraid of disturbing the queen mother, so I will take seventh elder brother back to the Chuxiu Palace, and hope the queen mother will approve."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand with a pale complexion, "Little boy, you can go down."

"Yes, Empress Dowager Xie." Concubine Xin didn't care about anything else, she touched Brother Seven's face lovingly with her own hands and then hurriedly retreated.

After this episode, the expressions of the other concubines and concubines were all different, and the Empress Dowager also felt quite tired, lazily said to Lin Changzai, "If you have time, come to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to accompany Ai's family and copy scriptures for Ai's family. By the way Ai Jia remembers that there is another Zhen Yan who is also grounded."

Daiyu's eyelids twitched, and she became more and more curious about why the Zhen family was so valued by Concubine Duan and the Empress Dowager, "Yes, the emperor punished her for her dishonesty in front of the imperial court."

"It's a happy event for Ai's family to recover from illness, so we simply avoided the confinement of Concubine Duan Gui and Mrs. Zhen." The Queen Mother said the same thing, narrowing her eyes, "She doesn't know the rules, so let her and Lin Chang come to Ai's house to copy The scriptures. I think it will definitely restrain her temper, what does the queen think?"

Daiyu smiled slightly, "I heard that Zhen promised to be very knowledgeable in poetry and literature, and he has a very good temperament. There is the name of "Zhuge in the Girl" in the boudoir. I think it will be a good match for the Queen Mother."

The queen mother didn't like concubines who were too smart and thoughtful, she frowned and shook her head after hearing this, "What is "Zhuge" and not "Zhuge", it's just a nonsense of my daughter's house." You go down."

After leaving the Palace of Compassion and Ning, there was already a chariot waiting by the side.While supporting Daiyu, Zijuan couldn't help sighing, "The empress dowager is too..." She paused for a long time but couldn't describe an appropriate word, so she said, "Seventh elder brother is really pitiful."

Daiyu didn't reply, she frowned thoughtfully, and suddenly asked her, "At this hour, the emperor has already come down?"

Zijuan said, "Now the papers should be approved in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Daiyu thought for a while, then pursed her lips and smiled, "Very well, Luanjia is too conspicuous, let them go back. Zijuan, follow me to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

The name of the Hall of Mental Cultivation comes from Mencius's "Cultivating the mind is not good at few desires", and ordinary concubines must not enter without edict.Daiyu thought that she was already a fast pacer, so she was surprised to meet Concubine Yu outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Even now it became clear: the aggressiveness of the Empress Dowager has not diminished since then, and Concubine Duan is now in such a situation, she is naturally anxious.

Concubine Yu saw her smiling forcefully, "Empress Empress Jin An."

Seeing her anxious expression, Daiyu thought it was because she failed to ask to see the emperor.She accepted Concubine Yu's love for promotion and care in the past, but unfortunately she became close to Concubine Duan and then alienated.Daiyu didn't want to get entangled with her, so she just nodded slightly to her and walked towards the room.

"Wait a minute, empress," Concubine Yu suddenly called her back, raised her eyebrows high, with a mocking look between them, and said quietly, "The emperor said that the government is busy and there are no people there."

Daiyu stunned when she heard the words, looking at Concubine Yu, she didn't know what to say.Concubine Yu mistook her for being annoyed at being humiliated, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.Shunfu seemed to have heard the sound and came over, ignored Concubine Yu, just smiled at Daiyu, "Your Majesty, please come in quickly, the emperor is puzzled when he hears your voice but has not seen anyone for so long."

Concubine Yu's face turned pale in an instant.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation is inlaid with glass on all sides, providing excellent lighting, and the warm sun in the morning reflects mottled colors through the patterns.The west ear room of the back hall of Yangxin Hall is "Yanxi Hall". When Daiyu entered, she saw Yongzheng holding Wang Xizhi's "Quick Snow and Sunny Post" and looked at it with relish.

There are no outsiders, and Daiyu doesn't respect those empty etiquette.After walking to Yongzheng and sitting down, a little eunuch quietly came up to serve him, and brought out a cup of tea and snacks that Daiyu liked.Those who followed the emperor understood that the master's thoughts should not be guessed at will, but the empress's preferences must be remembered.

Daiyu sat down, and Yongzheng immediately held her hand, and said with a smile, "It's rare that you came here to look for it on your own initiative. Could it be that the Empress Dowager embarrassed you in the Palace of Compassion and Peace?" His expression was leisurely and content, and there was no trace of 'busy with government affairs'. .

The hidden guards in the palace were like a shadow, she didn't believe that his master would not know what happened in the Palace of Compassionate Ning, this man made it clear that he was deliberately teasing her.Daiyu's face darkened, "He came over to talk to you about his concerns, but you only played tricks on him. Even though I didn't come here by chance, I just left."

Yongzheng didn't realize that she was really angry, so he put his arms around her waist and explained, "Why are you leaving? It turned out that I said something wrong, so I will apologize to you. If you really care about it, what's the point?"

Daiyu was just thinking about it for a while, seeing his sincerity, she immediately calmed down, thinking about the matter just now, she couldn't help saying, "I met Concubine Yu outside earlier, you have time, so why bother to perfuse her?"

The emperor didn't take it seriously, and smiled, "She came here just to test out some useless old relationship with me. I'm really impatient to deal with her, so I simply don't see her."

Daiyu looked at him with a relaxed look, as if she had a plan in mind, knowing that he had made up her mind, she just punched him lightly on the shoulder with her fist, and muttered, "Seeing you like this, I was thinking about you for nothing."

Yongzheng smiled blankly, stretched out his hand and tugged Daiyu's cheek, which felt good in the hand, and called Shunfu to draw up an order, "The queen mother said that Concubine Xin raised the seventh elder brother well, and I think so too. It just so happens that I got Wang Xizhi's favor." If you want to send a 'Quick Snow and Sunny Post', you will send it to Chuxiu Palace to Seventh Brother as a reward."

The emperor said with a pun, "Although Wang Xizhi was born in a famous royal family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he was famous for his calligraphy talent through the ages, and was honored as a 'sage of calligraphy' by later generations. The nine sons of Longsheng are all different, and Xiaoqi's handwriting is good. What is your heart?"

Shunfu replied 'yes', Daiyu remained silent in her heart, with the emperor's comments, it is absolutely impossible for the Queen Mother to make trouble with Seventh Elder Brother.It's just that for the still ignorant Seventh Brother, the most desired path for all the Royal Brothers had to be interrupted here.

"Besides, An's and Zhen's have made great contributions to serving the Empress Dowager. Lin Changzai will be promoted to 'noble person', and Zhen's will be restored to 'Changzai'." Yongzheng looked at Daiyu, "I still want to give Zhenshi a title."

Daiyu focused slightly, "Then let the Ministry of Internal Affairs draw up one."

"It's okay, I already have one in my heart." Yongzheng's eyes flashed an unpredictable light, and he said word by word, "I will give you the name 'Wan'."

The spring breeze warms the sun, and catkins fly.Yongzheng frowned and concentrated on correcting the scriptures. A few spider plants were added to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The dry wind and waves in spring blew over, and a piece of dark green swayed, dispelling the unreasonable boredom in his heart.

After a while, I felt sore eye sockets and stiff fingertips.Yongzheng threw away the pen and stretched his muscles, leaning against the pillow and sighed comfortably.At this time, there was no one in the hall, and the windows were half-closed and half-open, and the wind with the aroma of fresh melons and fruits was blowing slowly.The blowing made the bead curtains in front of the door collide with each other, the sound of jade breaking was clear and sweet, and the sun shone brightly.After staying with Daiyu for a long time, even our preferences have become more and more similar.he also became happy
