Since Tong Jia's death, the entire Forbidden City seems to have been enveloped in a layer of haze.

There was news from the Qianqing Palace that Kangxi hadn't eaten for several days, and the women in the harem gritted their teeth at Tong Jia, who had killed and captured Kangxi's heart, but she was still in a hurry, for fear that Kangxi would follow the example of Emperor Shizu. I have left home.

In order to let Kangxi have an appetite to eat, all the concubines in the palaces rushed to the small kitchen one after another, ordering the chef to teach them to cook an appetizing and healthy meal.

After receiving the wishes from the concubines, Kangxi didn't feel depressed for too long. After Tong Jia's first seven years, Kangxi should eat, drink, and find a woman if he should find a woman.After all, he is the lord of the world. As an ambitious emperor, his passion is buried in expanding the territory. How can he work hard for a woman, even if that woman is his cousin, she is already his wife.

At this time, another urgent report came, saying that there was a change in Geerdan, Mongolia, and Kangxi summoned ministers in Qianqing Palace every day to discuss countermeasures.

And Jiang Ning in the Yonghe Palace was not idle. Today happened to be the day for Li's pulse diagnosis. Although he knew the result a long time ago, Jiang Ning still put on a surprised expression.

"Is that so? Is the person whom Elder Brother announced the good news has come?"

Fei Cui replied: "It's already here, it's the little eunuch next to Li Gege, waiting at the gate of the palace."

"Show him in quickly."

As soon as the little eunuch came in and finished his salute, he heard a series of questions from Concubine De: "What did the imperial doctor say? Is the fetus safe? Is Mrs. Li feeling unwell? Does she have a good appetite?"

The little eunuch also had a happy expression on his face. Since his master is pregnant, as a slave, he can also enjoy some glory. No matter whether it is elder brother or Gege, it is the first heir of the fourth elder brother. As long as the master is not wrong in the future, by It is not impossible for the little master's light to skyrocket all the way.

"The imperial doctor said that Ge Ge is two months pregnant, Ge Ge is raising well, but his appetite has increased, and the little elder brother in his stomach is also very healthy."

"Okay, reward!" Concubine De was very satisfied after hearing this, waved her hand, and followed the little eunuch to Li Shi's residence with the reward like flowing water.

Mrs. Li rubbed her stomach and stared at the rewards sent by Concubine De, gold, silver, jewels, and precious tonics.

I can't help but think to myself: Baoyi's family is really colluding, and she is also a Yinzhen who knows how much the palace costs, and the powerful eunuchs and maids don't care who she is. Arranging servants, buying information, no need for money, just say that the hundreds of taels of silver she brought from Li's family were scattered in a few days, and now she only lives on that meager monthly payment.How could concubine De have saved so many things just because she had been in the palace for more than ten years.If there is no "filial piety" from outsiders, how could they be so generous to her little princess.She didn't believe that Concubine De really cared about the child in her womb. She belonged to Queen Tong. Even though the queen was dead, in history, Concubine De had such deep resentment towards Queen Tong. Can Concubine De be kind to her sincerely?But she doesn't know how to use these things anymore, Concubine De is sinister and vicious, maybe there is something hidden in it to harm her and Fourth Master's children.

Pointing to the maid close to her body, she signaled to seal up all the things and store them in storage, and then she went back to the couch to take a rest.

Every move of Mrs. Li was seen by the nail planted in Yonghe Palace. As soon as Fei Cui received the news, she reported it to Concubine De.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Li has ordered people to seal up all the things that your Majesty rewarded just now." Fei Cui said dissatisfied, "This Mrs. Li really doesn't know what is good and what is bad, and I dare to be suspicious of what my Majesty rewarded."

Concubine De wrapped around the handkerchief, and said with a smile: "It's not surprising, how could someone who was carefully trained by Tong Jia's family show kindness to me." She sighed slightly: "It's just a pity for my good medicinal materials..."

There is nothing wrong with those medicinal materials, and they are all beneficial to pregnant women. Since she knew that Concubine De was planted on it in the end, how could she repeat the old tricks? Li's suspicion is serious, and it need not be her loss.

"By the way, I will send a cup of bird's nest to Mrs. Li every day in the future."

Jade nodded to remember.

"We got a message from Nail at Elder Brother's Office, saying that Mrs. Li is running a store called 'L'Oreal' recently, which seems to be for beauty and skin care. It is planned to be used exclusively by the wives and young ladies of high-ranking families." Jade said again. , the tone implied doubts.

Concubine De laughed, it seems that Li Shi is planning to take the high-end route.That's right, women have always been rich for their beauty, especially the wives of rich families. As long as they do well, they will not only be rewarded more, but also become loyal customers. Besides, those wives of rich families often go out to socialize. Order.

Concubine De laughed lightly, with a dark light in her eyes, she said: "Ask someone to build a family for me like that, and open it near the mansions of those dignitaries, keep it secret, don't let People from the Li family found a clue."

Mrs. Li is now just a bald-headed elder brother, Gege, who has neither connections nor money. Her shop can only be opened on the bustling streets of the capital. The price offered can be said to be something that everyone dares to buy. Those people can only afford their own expenses. Where can they have spare money to buy some cosmetics? And the wives and young ladies of rich families will not easily go shopping on the street. .

In the novel, Li's shop was also opened at this time, but in the novel, Concubine De refused to raise Yinzhen, Yinzhen was still young, and naturally had no source of income, and all expenses in the mansion needed money. At that time Li Shi and Yinzhen agreed that half of the silver they earned would be given to Yinzhen to use, so that he could get Yinzhen's help.

But now, Concubine De and Yinzhen have a good relationship, and Concubine De has already handed over most of her private money to Yinzhen.Under Defei's deliberate teaching, the old fourteen also loves to cling to his fourth brother.

Although Fei Cui didn't understand why Concubine De wanted to get into a fight with a powerless, powerless, and a bit clever, she wisely kept silent.

Then I heard Concubine De ask: "How about the person you were asked to pick?"

Fei Cui has always done things properly, nodded and said: "I picked two people, Lin and Tang."

"Ms. Lin has been in the palace for six years. She is two years older than the fourth elder brother. She does things safely. She is not only handsome but has a good temper. She doesn't like to be jealous."

"Mr. Tang entered the palace at the beginning of last year. She was just assigned to the Yonghe Palace. She is two months younger than elder brother Si. Tang's temperament is lively, and she looks round and beautiful, which is very gratifying."

Concubine De believed in Fei Cui's vision, since the two of them were settled, Concubine De would always hold her eyes before sending them to Elder Brother's office.

On the same day, the two court ladies were summoned by Concubine De, and greeted them shyly, waiting for Concubine De's questioning.

From the time when Aunt Fei Cui approached them, the two of them vaguely guessed the master's intentions, but they didn't expect that they would really be able to wait for Concubine De's call.Being able to serve the fourth elder brother is an overwhelming wealth. If you strive for success in the future, you will have more hope of becoming a concubine, a side Fujin, etc., than doing odd jobs in Yonghe Palace.

"Presumably you also know what I am looking for you to do."

Both of them lowered their heads, two red clouds climbed up their cheeks, their faces were shy.

"Now that you know everything, then I don't want to talk nonsense. There are so many beautiful maids in the Yonghe Palace, and I only choose you because of your honesty and duty. I don't want to hear people who leave the Yonghe Palace in the future. Sour and jealous, discord with sisters, news that disturbs the rules in elder brother's house." Concubine De's sharp eyes swept over the two of them one by one, and said slowly: "Otherwise, I will not let you off as the first one in the palace."

The two of them were excited, kowtowed together and said: "Your maidservant will definitely keep her own place and never violate the rules."

It is not difficult for Concubine De to give her son two roommates. When Kangxi was in the Yonghe Palace, she casually mentioned: "The elder brother and the two princesses next to the prince are pregnant. The third elder brother is in the backyard. There are also several people serving, but there are only two women around Yinzhen, one is grounded and the other is pregnant, it is really outrageous."

When Kangxi thought about it, it was true that his harem was full of women, but his son lived like a monk.So he let Concubine De decide to grant the two maids to go down.

It was just a court lady, and the two of them were not of high status, so they only packed a few ordinary clothes and went to elder brother's place with a burden.

Lin's family has an older brother who is an official in another place, so they gave her a seal.But Tang's family is under the five flags, and the family has no official or job, so they can only be a concubine.

As soon as the two maids entered Elder Brother's door, Mrs. Li received the news. Mrs. Li was admiring the red plums that had just been folded this morning while holding a hand stove. What she looked like when she was five months pregnant.Hearing what the lady-in-waiting said, she suddenly turned over and ignored the hand stove falling to the ground.

Li said incredulously, "What did you say?"

"Gege, Empress Defei sent two maids to come down, and they just arrived now." The little palace maid said tremblingly.

Li Shi was furious, and her fingernails painted with bright Danko pinched her palms tightly, almost bleeding.Angrily in her heart: "Damn Wu Yashi! Sure enough, she was born to be right with me. I finally got pregnant with twins, and she couldn't wait to stuff the other woman in! This is deliberately trying to make me angry. I Don't be angry, I won't be angry!" Li Shi comforted herself like this, but the anger in her heart was getting bigger and bigger, and now she couldn't bear to cut those two sluts into pieces!

"Bitch! They're all sluts!"

Li was so angry that he smashed several antique furnishings in the room.

As Princess Li, in fact, there are only two or three expensive ornaments used in the house, but this is enough for Li Shi.In modern times, those antiques are rare in the world, and people wish to enshrine them as their ancestors, so how can they let her smash them down.

Mrs. Li finally understood why women in Gongdouju liked to smash vases.After smashing, looking at the debris in the room, Li's heart was really calmed down a lot. He took the handkerchief from the maid's hand, wiped his hands casually, and asked, "Where is the fourth elder brother?"

"Back to the master, the fourth elder brother is studying in the study."

"Send the sweet jelly I just made to Brother Si, without saying anything."
