Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

After hearing Huigui's words, Huigui's heart trembled. After all, she was the mistress of a royal family who had run a huge family for decades. Mrs. Mingzhu's skills were by no means comparable to Huigui's city government. After careful consideration, she finally said: "Sister-in-law Let me think about it again, not to mention that the emperor likes her, the empress dowager can't do without her now, if the higher-ups are all concerned, we're going to hit the rocks with eggs."

Although Mrs. Mingzhu disdains her, she can't hold Huigui's mind, and even though Huigui's mind is confused by this incident, she still retains a sense of reason, and always remembers what the Empress Dowager entrusted to her. In the general election, if she wins a concubine, the elder brother will be able to keep her by her side.

Afterwards, Mrs. Mingzhu was sent away from the palace, and Mrs. Hui followed her all the way until she reached a place where she could not go any further before turning back. On the way, she saw Concubine Tong sitting on her shoulders and didn't know where she was going. The little eunuch beside her ran to check. Come back in a hurry and say: "Master, that should go to elder brother's place."

Huigui frowned deeply, clenched his fists under his sleeves, "What kind of monster is she?"

Because he couldn't go to Elder Brother's place without authorization, Huigui didn't dare to follow Concubine Tong, so he pretended to take a walk and wandered around. After waiting for half an hour, Concubine Tong came out, and she could see her satisfied smile from a distance. The nobleman trembled in his heart, and only waited for her to go far before sending the little eunuch to inquire.

He walked back slowly, and soon the little eunuch sent back said: "The people there said that Mr. Huigui went to see Mr. Ronggui's two elder brothers. The older one played with him for a while, and the younger one hugged him. After teasing in my arms for a while, I talked to a few princesses, our elder brother is taking a nap, and he hasn't woken up yet, so it's none of our business."

Hui Gui held the door of her heart and let out a sigh of relief, "Amitabha, it is our blessing that she doesn't miss us."

On this side, the news that Concubine Tong went to see the children at Elder Brother's place quickly spread to Ronggui, because the emperor agreed, and Ronggui had nothing to say, so Duangui sat beside him and asked the nanny to take away pure. After the wedding, she said softly, "Are you afraid that she will miss your child?"

Not long after giving birth, Ronggui looked very bad, leaned softly on the big pillow, and said worriedly: "I once said that she would have to live for a year or so before she was anxious about having an heir. After all, she is still young, and adoption is not enough. She gave birth well, but she couldn't keep the baby again and again, and the imperial doctor probably told her the truth. If she was destined to have nothing to do with Concubine Zhao, of course she would miss other people's children, but... I gave birth Too many, and I can’t raise them by myself.”

She shed tears, and watched the child being taken away as soon as it landed again and again. No matter how many children Rong Gui gave birth to, she would not have the real sense of being a mother, and she had to worry about other people thinking about it. Maybe she agreed that she can pick one she likes and take it back to raise.The elder brother is already sensible, I am afraid that he is not familiar with it, and he is not qualified to raise the crown prince Concubine Tong, and Nala's promise is too low, only his two children.

"Don't worry, Concubine Zhao hasn't seen you for so many years, and the emperor hasn't let go, so how can you easily agree to Concubine Tong?" Duan Guiren himself felt boring when he said it, but now the fact is obvious, and suddenly he remembered something Come on, and said softly, "I don't know what you are thinking about, Mrs. Hui, on the way back from Nanyuan that day, I have been asking Mrs. Yi about Concubine Zhao. It seems that she has been out of the door for the past few days. , if it was in the past, I should have come to see you a long time ago."

Rong Guiren looked at her gravely, "What can she do, she may not give the elder brother to Concubine Zhaogui, is she willing?" But she is the most thoughtful among the sisters, and she remembered something, and signaled Duan Guiren Get closer and say, "Tell me everything about those few days, everything you can remember, even the smallest things."

Duangui recalled a little bit, when Wu Chang suddenly fell ill on the night when he was ordered to serve the emperor, Ronggui frowned and asked, "Yigui just said the next day that he saw someone go out of her tent?"

On this side, Lan Qi was quietly writing under the window. Xuan Ye gave her the Jiangnan Xingong ink, which was smooth and smooth, and it seemed that even the written words became more beautiful. After thinking about it all afternoon, Bu Chang I have been here several times without disturbing her, and now seeing the sunset and dusk, the sky is getting darker and darker, so I lit a lamp and came over, and laughed at her: "The eyes are going to be broken, just a long stream of water will be good."

But Lan Qi took her sister to look at the handwriting she wrote, and said triumphantly: "At the beginning, the handwriting was ugly, and the more I wrote, the more irritable I became, but now I feel that my handwriting is beautiful, and the more I write, the more I like it. No wonder the emperor always loves to write when he calms down." , I must think that I also write well."

"You have improved a lot." Bu Chang was looking at Lan Qi's handwriting, and asked with a smile, "Has the emperor ever praised you?"

Sure enough, Lan Qi curled her lips and said: "He is not caring. He always said that my writing is ugly. When the ink was delivered, the little eunuch told me not to waste it."

Bu Changzai deliberately said sourly: "Look at your pride, a person like me would not be able to be provoked by the emperor." Lan Qi dared not be too frivolous, and blamed herself for ignoring Bu Changzai's mood, but She was just joking, and then asked her back, "You are not sick, why are you hiding in Zhongcui Palace and not going out, but what's the matter?"

"I feel tired, so I just want to rest for a while. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor have allowed me to be lazy at home with my sister." Lan Qi was in a good mood, and she pulled Bu Chang to sit on the kang with an expression He said proudly, "My sister will thank me very much tomorrow."

"Thank you for what?" Bu Changzai knelt at the table, sorting out the papers on the table, smiling leisurely as he read every word she wrote, not paying much attention to the smug expression on her face, but listening to Lan Qi Said, "The little eunuch who sent me ink said that tomorrow the emperor will ask the elder brother's people to send Duanjing here, and stay there until the little elder brother is full moon before going back."

Bu Changzai was stunned when he heard the words, his eyes were shining brightly, and he was so happy that there was nothing wrong with it. He suddenly threw himself on Lan Qi and kissed her hard, causing people to scream, and the two sisters laughed and laughed. Chun Panxia came in and saw them, and blamed the two for spilling their things on the ground, but Bu Changzai called Panxia: "Go and clean up the house, Duanjing will be back tomorrow."

Lan Qi pulled her back, "I'm not in a hurry at this moment, my sister will sit with me for a while."

Just acting like a baby, Yukui came back from the outside, she just went to the imperial hospital to get back Lan Qi's tonic, the master didn't go out these few days, so naturally she couldn't go to the Compassionate Ning Palace to take medicine, so Madam Su Mala let Yukui and the others Go to get it and cook it in the small kitchen. Yukui first sent a jar of candied red fruits that the people in the imperial hospital respected the master, and then said: "I heard that my elder brother announced the imperial physician again. I don't know which little master it is." not good."

This made Bu Changzai restrain his emotions immediately, for fear that the imperial doctor was looking for Duan Jing, and no matter how much Lan Qi coaxed her to relax, it was not until early the next morning that Duan Jing was finally brought in. Only then did it get lively again.

Duan Jing's temperament is getting more and more lively, which is very different from her name. Elder Brother is well-raised in the institute. She is a chubby little princess who wears a lot of clothes and rolls around like a little cotton ball when she runs. Go away, the baby's voice is very sweet, and Bu Changzai's whole body turns numb when he hears her calling her mother.

Now I had lunch, and I was leading Duan Jing to bask in the sun in the yard. After the little girl was full, the sun was warm and she became confused. She nestled in Bu Chang's arms and soon fell asleep. Lan Qi followed Come over and put the child on the bed together, Bu Chang sat cross-legged at the end of the bed, and said contentedly: "I guess the emperor sent Duan Jing here because he was afraid that you would not go out to be lonely in the palace. Endless luck."

Lan Qi smiled and said jokingly: "Then my sister will treat me better, and I will share with you any delicious food in the future."

How could the former masters and servants have thought that they would be what they are today, and Lan Qi has always remembered that the little girl promised to treat her well back then, just tossing people like Wang Momo, if the master hadn't protected her overtly and secretly, this palace Li Xing probably didn't even have Wu Yalanqi anymore.

At this moment, it seems that the curtain outside the door was raised, and a cold wind came in. Bu Changzai got up and put down the bed curtain, and asked Lan Qi if she would like to take a nap here too. Seeing Huanchun come in, she whispered: "Brother, what did you do yesterday?" The late imperial doctor was found for Mr. Ronggui's third elder brother, and I heard that his health is not good again."

"This child is always willing to be sick." Lan Qi felt sorry for the child, and when she mentioned that Mr. Rong was still in confinement, she felt sorry for her not being able to take a look. Bu Chang touched Duanjing who was sleeping soundly, "I am considered lucky, If you also give birth to an elder brother, even if you are favored again, I can't follow Zhanguang to see you, it's better to be a daughter."

Lan Qi remained silent, but there was another sadness in her heart. After more than ten years, Duan Jing will marry. If she is in Beijing, she can often visit the palace. If she marries far away, Bu Chang will be in the future. how.But who knows what the situation will be like ten years later, and I can't help laughing at myself for being sentimental.

Duanjing woke up in the afternoon, and ran around the room again, because he promised to take her to see sister Chunxi, and asked Duan Guiren that he was at Ronggui's place at the moment, Bu Changzai brought his daughter here alone, and greeted Ronggui Secondly, let the children get together, the sisters are naturally very polite, and the children also have fun together, the adults are talking, when suddenly hearing the two children beside, Chunxi asked her sister crisply: "Are you going?" Don't you go back to Elder Brother's place with my own mother?"

Duan Jing is still young, although she can already speak clearly, after all, she hasn't put much thought into it, and she can't always understand other people's words. The empress asked us if we would like to go to Chengqian Palace with her, but I have a mother, so I won’t go.”

The faces of several adults froze, and nobleman Duan blurted out: "Sure enough, she has moved her mind."

Seeing that Bu Changzai's face was ugly, Mr. Ronggui persuaded her with a smile: "It's so hard for her to have a child, why would she want the princess? Naturally, she has her eyes on a few little elder brothers. After the summer draft, I will be with you. If Huigui's fate is good enough to follow the tide and get promoted to the concubine, she can ask Grace to raise the child herself, of course she will take the child away before summer. Just keep quiet, she won't think about it."

Bu Changzai was timid, he didn't dare to say anything, he only heard nobleman Duan say: "She has such a high spirit, if you talk about her background, she must be the elder brother."

Rong Guiren's eyes were condensed, and he seemed to be muttering to himself: "Big brother has already recognized my mother."

Before sunset, Bu Changzai led Duan Jing back, and hurried all the way as if she was afraid of meeting someone. When the little girl came back, she was led to take a bath by the nurse Pan Xia. Bu Changzai came over and pulled Lan Qi and said, "Duan Jing said it herself Concubine Tong asked how many of their children would like to live with her in Chengqian Palace, probably the emperor agreed to something, I saw Rong Guiren's eyes were straight, and he was trying to persuade me, but I was not sure what to do. "

Lan Qi sighed: "The rules of our ancestors are like this. Honorable Rong once told me that we must not let the emperor break the rules for one or two of us. That would be a big crime for us. But it is easy to say these words. Who can really meet me?" Bear it, watching my own child and calling someone else's mother."

Bu Changzai sighed, "It's better to have a daughter." Suddenly, his mind became excited again, and he frowned at Lan Qi, "The Empress Dowager is looking forward to you giving birth to a little brother, but in the future you..."

Lan Qi smiled lightly, although she was also hesitant about the future, but she had some trust in her heart, she just said: "No matter what happens in the future, I will listen to the emperor."

At this moment in Qianqing Palace, Concubine Zhao is reporting to the emperor about the summer expenses in the palace. Xuanye is not too lazy to listen to the meticulous and cautious year after year, but trusts her very much in this matter. After talking about these things, He also mentioned: "I have already prepared by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Since it is my own empress ceremony, you should pay more attention to it and make it grand. I will have the mother of the country again in the Qing Dynasty."

Concubine Zhao's whole body tensed up, hearing these words made people's blood surge, but she quickly calmed down again, thanked the emperor with blessings, and when she was about to leave, she saw Eunuch Li come to report, saying that Prince Yu asked to see, and noble concubine Shi Shiran When he came out, he saw Fuquan outside, and when the two sides met, Fuquan smiled and said: "The imperial concubine's complexion is getting better and better, but a happy event is coming."

Concubine Zhao smiled: "I'm just waiting for a congratulatory gift from the prince, it must be grand, don't just send me away with the things you rewarded those concubines in the mansion."

They were all acquainted for many years, and they didn't avoid suspicion. After a few jokes, Eunuch Li came to invite Prince Yu, Dongyun invited the master to get on the soft sedan chair, and Concubine Zhao said that she was so bored in the Warm Pavilion for a long time that she wanted to relax, and held her up. She was walking towards Yikun Palace with her hand, and on the way, she saw several imperial physicians hurrying towards Elder Brother's place, Dong Yun whispered in her ear: "Third Elder Brother is not well."

"That child is the same. I got sick last time I went to see it. Concubine Tong got sick again this time. Is this a temper that can't be seen?" Concubine Zhao didn't care much, she was full of waiting for her younger sister to enter the palace to bear children Well, these children in elder brother's institute have long been out of her sight.

Dong Yun said again: "Which child do you think Empress Concubine Tong will have?"

Concubine Zhao disdainfully: "That's her business, remember, before the queen's ceremony, I can't make any mistakes here, if she wants to make a mess, she won't do my business, don't pour dirty water on me again then .”

"Concubine Tong can't make any trouble now, and the people around her are all sent by the empress dowager." Dong Yun said with a smile, "Although the empress dowager is indifferent to the master, she still understands in her heart who is the most It is suitable to live in this Kunning Palace."

While speaking, the group of people was already near Kunning Palace. Concubine Zhao looked up at the majestic palace, with a triumphant smile in her eyes: "Before I was wronged and unwilling to pay for all this, now I want to understand Now, since I have nothing in this palace, I can only firmly hold on to the power in my hands, since I can't live for the emperor, then live for myself and my family."

But Dongyun felt inexplicably sad when he heard these words, he didn't dare to speak nonsense, and just quietly waited for the master to return to the palace.

In the next two days, it was said that the third elder brother's condition had stabilized, and the worries in the palace seemed to have subsided, and the emperor was busy with court affairs. Seeing Mr. Ronggui, these days, he simply didn't even turn over the sign. No one in the harem could go to serve him, so it was all right.

In the blink of an eye at the end of February, the weather that was supposed to be getting warmer was suddenly blown by strong winds for two days, which made the whole Forbidden City dark and freezing. Sending them back and forth in a hurry made the harem panic.

This day, Mingzhu Mansion sent homemade fruit noodles to the palace. There was a note and a small bundle in the box. Huigui frowned after seeing it, and asked someone to pick out the snacks and save them in another box before delivering them in person. Come to the Palace of Compassion.

The Empress Dowager had already had a meal, so she sent her back after a few perfunctory words, but Huigui was about to leave, but Madam Su Mala said she was short of a needleworker, so she left behind the maid she was wearing.This made her terrified, and she was restless after returning to the pavilion. She only waited for the child to come back and said that she was kept by the mother for sewing without saying a word. Huigui breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately ordered: "I will be here from now on." , don’t follow me anymore, you can’t go anywhere without my permission.”

But when she calmed down alone, the depression in her heart couldn't go away. In her opinion, as long as this maid of honor was disposed of, the world would be clean. The girl is from her maternal grandfather's family, so she must take care of her more. When I promised at the beginning, how could I have expected what happened now, and regretting it is useless.

Although less than half a month has passed, there has been no movement in the palace about this matter, but Mrs. Huigui sees this girl every day, and thinks of these things every day when she sees her. How can she pretend to be so cautious in her heart? It was a big thorn, but Mrs. Mingzhu came to urge her again, asking when she could send people out, and also send that kind of thing in.

"If it wasn't for my poor family, how could I be attached to you, and who would you think of me?" Every time Huigui thinks about it, she takes a deep breath in her heart. She and Mingzhu are cousins. Up to now, Mingzhu's mansion is in full swing. However, her own family has become an ordinary person, and only she, a noble person, maintains her appearance in the palace.

Because Mingzhu wanted to get close, Mrs. Huigui was also happy to have a big backer outside the palace. Over the years, she took care of each other in big and small matters, but Mrs. Mingzhu was born in the royal family, and because of her husband's family, she was more and more rude to her. She was already full of resentment for such trivial things, this time causing such a big trouble.

At the moment, I was sulking in the bedroom, when someone came from Qianqing Palace suddenly, Eunuch Li sent a little eunuch to say that the emperor had talked about chicken shredded porridge several times during the day, porridge is easy to make, but the emperor likes the one made by Huigui, although it is not necessary Eat, and trouble Huigui to get someone to prepare it, in case the emperor thinks of it, don't be in a hurry.

Mrs. Hui hurriedly agreed, and sent someone to reward the little eunuch. When she came back to change her clothes and prepared to cook for herself, she suddenly saw the box on the desk, which contained the things that Mrs. Mingzhu asked her to secretly stuff into Zhongcui Palace. Her heart ached. Jumping wildly, turning around and seeing the child coming in with a basin in his hands, he became angry suddenly, and his heart sank, deciding whether he can get things done depends on tonight.Then, while there was no one in the house, he took a bag of things from the box and stuffed it into his sleeve.

The porridge was boiled at night, and while waiting for the news from the Qianqing palace, Huigui found out the clothes he wore in the past year on a whim, saying that he could no longer use them now that he was too fat, and distributed them to the maids to make some jackets, and rewarded them again. A few hairpins and pearls were given to them, and they were all dressed up beautifully as if they were playing with each other.

While laughing and laughing, Eunuch Li has been serving people from the Qing Palace for more than ten years. He really guessed what the emperor would like to eat tonight, and Mr. Hui had clearly ordered the maid not to go out with him, but tonight he was Let her go with her with the porridge.

When the group arrived at the Qianqing Palace, a group of officials just left. The court has been very busy recently, and there are still ministers coming to discuss matters so late. It just so happens that Rong Ruo also came out of the palace. They met suddenly and did not have time to bow. I have seen the people behind Huigui.

"What are you looking at?" Huigui's eyes were full of meaning, and Rong Ruo was so frightened that he immediately bowed his head and stood aside. Huigui led the maids, and the eunuch who tasted the food came to check the shredded chicken porridge in the bowl. Huigui entered, she glanced back at Nalan Rongruo in front of the door, reached out and pulled the maid beside her, "Go in."

In the warm pavilion, Xuan Ye was still crouching at his desk to review the memorials, tired for several days accumulated in his body, suddenly smelled the aroma of chicken porridge, relaxed his body, and saw Mrs. Hui coming in gently, and said with a smile: "Tossing you came in the middle of the night. "

Huigui said humanely: "It's what a concubine should do." Then he invited the emperor to sit down on the kang, served the porridge for Xuan Ye with his own hands, and he cleaned up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table for him familiarly, and it didn't take long Hearing Xuan Ye calling her, she came to her with a smile, but was pulled closer by the emperor, her words were ambiguous, Hui Gui refused and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, it's inconvenient for my concubine."

Xuan Ye's eyes were lazy and tired, but there was fire overflowing, he reluctantly grabbed Huigui's slender hand, Huigui turned his heart and pointed sideways to the maid behind him, "Your Majesty, that child... is very good at serving people." , but if you don't like it, the concubine asked Li Gonggong to invite Wu Changzai?"

"She is also uncomfortable." The emperor smiled lightly, and looked at the maid standing under the gate of the ceremony. Her petite and delicate appearance was a bit like Wu Ya Lanqi's before, and she nodded slightly, benefiting everyone Seeing it in his eyes, his heart sank heavily, he gently broke away from Xuan Ye's hand, turned around and pushed the maid forward, and ordered, "Serve the emperor well."

"Mr. Huigui?" The court lady was astonished, but she was threatened softly, "No one can disobey the emperor. Do you want to die, or the person just now?"

"Huigui..."

Huigui could not help but dragged her to the emperor, took away the porridge on the table with a gentle smile, walked around the gate of the ceremony, and listened to the sound of "Your Majesty, slave... Your Majesty..." and raised her neck He poured down all the remaining porridge, wiped his face with a handkerchief, smiled coldly with tears in his eyes, and went out without looking back.

Outside, Eunuch Li saw Huigui coming out alone, he was very surprised when he was well versed in this way, Huigui just sighed helplessly: "I am not feeling well, since the emperor thinks about it, it is also the child's blessing, I am afraid that Eunuch will send someone here tomorrow. Somebody do something about it."

Eunuch Li sighed and said without hesitation, "I have wronged you."

Hui Gui smiled: "It's nothing hard, it's all about serving the emperor, if you want to talk about grievances, I'm afraid Wu Chang will be jealous, I'll go and see her tomorrow."

Eunuch Li didn't say a word, and sent a little eunuch to take the bowls and dishes to send Huigui back. When he walked out of the gate of Qianqing Palace, he saw Rongruo wandering in the distance. It's not surprising that he is here as a first-class guard, but he is obviously Who are you waiting for? When you see Mrs. Huigui coming out alone, the maid behind her turns into a little eunuch and stays there.

Huigui smiled at him from a distance, and said in his heart: I really can't care about what happens in the future, your family's affairs are also entangled in the palace, I don't have the ability to reach the sky.

Afterwards, he hurried back, and when he entered the door, he dismissed the accompanying eunuch, turned around and poured several large bowls of cold water to quell the fire in his body. If something happened, and the rest of the porridge went into her stomach, no one should worry about checking.

But Mrs. Mingzhu's wrists are really poisonous. If she really hides these things in the Zhongcui Palace and accuses Wu Chang of the crime of adultery in a charming master in the future, Wu Ya's family may not be able to turn over, although the original intention is just to pinch it. She has the handle in her hands, but for such a big matter, if it is self-defeating, it will not be worth the loss. It is easier to solve this maid than to try to entrap Wu Yashi.

But if she wants to kill her, Rong Ruo and Mrs. Mingzhu must only think that it is their own idea. Now, if the emperor wants her, it is beyond their control.

However, when he was alone in the dark dormitory after going to bed, Mrs. Hui remembered the emperor's words, "She is also uncomfortable." His heart suddenly felt sour. The emperor didn't know how he was, but even Wu Yashi was uncomfortable. They all clearly understood that if she said something casually, something would almost go wrong. If Wu Yashi was not in the day, she should hurry to find her tonight. Thinking about it now, she felt envious and jealous Later, I was afraid and panicked.

The next day, everyone in the palace knew that the emperor had favored the maids around Huigui. In fact, in the past dynasties, there would occasionally be maids in the palace who were blessed by the emperor. Most of them were abandoned in some corner after one night. Being a master and enjoying the glory and wealth, such as Rongguiren, Duanguiren and Wu Changzai, is really a minority.

In the same way, the court lady Jue Chan last night also had the same fate. After Li Gonggong told Concubine Zhao, he sent her to live with Nala, and Huigui sent someone to send some things as usual, so he ignored it , the people around me are favored by the emperor, it is normal to be unhappy, and most others don't care about it.

After another two days, the emperor did not see mercy on the court lady, Huigui came to Zhongcui Palace, entered the door and saw Lan Qi sitting on the kang writing, before she came down to salute, she politely supported her, and sat down herself Then he said: "I don't care about others, it's just you. Now the emperor likes you the most, but the people around me are favored. I'm afraid you will misunderstand that I can't do it myself. I will find a substitute to compete with you and hurt our sisters." Peaceful."

Lan Qi smiled happily: "Mr. Hui said that, but my concubines have to reflect on their words and deeds, but they are always arrogant and do things that make you misunderstand. Don't you often say that people who serve the emperor are the same? The concubine is not unhappy here."

Huigui let out a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to hold her and smiled: "My sister thinks so, so I can rest assured."

"You should be relieved, how long have you been hanging?" Suddenly a voice came from behind the screen, and someone came out, dressed in the usual clothes of a dignified person, but the person was an honorable person who should be confinement in the dormitory , Huigui was startled, and stared at her blankly, beside Lan Qi was also very embarrassed, since Ronggui came to her place pretending to be Duangui and waited for Huigui, she began to get confused.

"Sister Rong, this is..."

"The person who served the emperor last night was the one Mingzhu Mansion asked you to ask for." Ronggui sat down, pointed at Lan Qi, and said with a heavy expression, "She ran into her that night, and Yigui didn't see clearly." Yes, this is Jue Chan and your family, right?"

Huigui's face flushed red, and he finally choked out a few words: "It's their family's business."

"Isn't it just their family's business? What are you getting involved in it?" Ronggui has been raising her for a long time, her complexion is already very good, and she pointed to Lan Qi and said, "She didn't tell me about my place, and the reason why I can guess Yes, that's why you're afraid. There's never been anything in the palace that can't be kept secret. It just depends on whether someone is willing to investigate. I will understand after I investigate. It's not your fault that you are always in suspense. Afraid of being found out."

Lan Qi whispered from the side: "Master Huigui, I only told Aunt Su Mala about this matter, and Auntie told me to forget it, so I just pretended nothing happened."

Huigui was already in tears, and sneered: "Their family only regards me as a backer, and they come to send me everything. That Rong Ruo puts aside serious things and doesn't do it well. He always thinks about this little cousin in the palace. Growing up is naturally a good thing, but he is too careless. He has already entered the palace. Do you still want to take it out? Why should I worry about it? Now that it’s all over, he’s really the emperor’s man. Why don’t they come to ask for it? "

"Things are like this, if you keep worrying about it, it won't be good for others to see the clues from your face." Rong Gui persuaded her, let her have a sip of tea, and then explained her reason for coming, "We have been sisters for so many years, It's too boring for me to catch you, I'm waiting for you to come today, I just have something important to discuss with Wu Chang, you've been taking care of that little maid these days, haven't you seen what Chengqian Palace is doing?"

Huigui was stunned, and shook her head: "What's wrong with her...?"

As soon as the words fell, Huan Chun came in from the outside. She already knew who was in the room, and she was not surprised to see the three of them sitting, but said in a little embarrassment: "It was very noisy up front, and Yu Kui and Xiang Yue sneaked away to watch the excitement... ..." She looked at Mrs. Hui, and continued, "I don't know why Concubine Tong brought eldest brother to Chengqian Palace, and I don't know what happened. Eldest brother was crying and making noises. Elder Brother cried and said he wanted to find Er Niang, ran out of the palace gate and was caught by the little eunuch, then the door of Chengqian Palace was closed, but elder brother could still be heard crying."

Mrs. Hui was already frozen on the kang, she was already in tears because of what happened before, but now the tears rolled down like broken beads, she sobbed and asked incoherently: "What, what is she going to do? "

Ronggui let Huanchun go down, and said with tears in his eyes: "Concubine Zhaogui won't worry about the children in the elder brother's house, but Concubine Tong will worry about it. She probably won't be able to bear children these days. The emperor pretended to be so gentle and docile. If you count the days, maybe we will be able to raise the child by our side after summer. She can't wait. You are still messing around with the little maids every day, look , didn't she take the eldest brother away?"

"But the Empress Dowager promised me..." Hui Gui was choked up, it was too late to say anything now, Concubine Tong had already taken her elder brother away, and her son was going to call someone else's mother-in-law.

"The imperial decree has not yet been announced to the Sixth Palace. It should be in time." The more Ronggui said, the more she couldn't control her tears. Lan Qi watched from the side, her heart skipped a beat, so she heard her say, "The imperial doctor told me the truth, the third elder brother couldn't hold it anymore. The past few days..." She covered her mouth and suppressed crying, Lan Qi also felt very sad, but Mrs. Rong suddenly grabbed her hand, and the tears in her palm made her heart tighten for a while.

"My dear sister, can you help us?" Rong Gui said, "Now only your words are the most effective in front of the empress dowager and the emperor. Help us and don't let Concubine Tong take our child away."

Although Huigui didn't know what to do, but in order to go back to the elder brother, he quickly wiped away his tears, and said to Lan Qi: "Sister, you are always there with Bu like that, just because you are considerate of her love for children, can you also help me?" Be considerate of us once, and we don't ask for anything else, just don't let Concubine Tong take away the child."

Lan Qi carefully took her hand out of Rong Guiren's hand, she didn't dare to wipe the tears in her hand, she asked them blankly: "Chen, what can I do?"

Ronggui's chest rose and fell, and he took the initiative to hold Lan Qi's hand tightly: "You don't have to do anything, as long as the time comes, just tell what you see, say what you see, just say a few words ,Will suffice."

Lan Qi didn't agree with the two nobles clearly about this matter, and they left separately later, Huan Chun came to ask her what happened, just as Lan Qi was about to speak, she heard the sound of a child crying, at first she thought it was Duan Jing, but Huan Chun came to ask her what happened. Chun said it was the elder brother in front, and even sighed: "Concubine Tong may want to adopt the elder brother, but the elder brother has grown up to recognize his mother, and his temper is also twisted."

At this time, the curtain in front of the door was opened, and I heard the sound of jingle bells, which should be the golden bells on Duanjing's shoes, and sure enough, I saw the little man staggering towards Lan Qi's arms with his mouth full of grievances. Acting like a baby, she said that her brother was at the front, but Er Niang wouldn't let her play with her brother.

Seeing Bu Chang followed in with a wry smile, he spread his hands and said, "Can I go? But this girl doesn't understand."

Lan Qi's heart was heavy. The tears that flowed down the faces of Huigui and Ronggui just now fell into her heart drop by drop. She didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but she really sympathized with them. After half a year, she finally survived and was able to raise the children by herself. Concubine Tong was partial Robbing at this time, sure enough, her gentle and quiet status is a disguise?

Ronggui asked her to wait for her little brother's full moon, and let her tell the truth about what she saw then, but she didn't understand what she would see at all?

In a blink of an eye, the little elder brother was full moon, Concubine Zhao led all the concubines to celebrate the little elder brother, Duan Jing was attracted by something and ran away, Lan Qi helped Bu Changzai to chase her back, saw Concubine Tong hurried to Going to the third elder brother's house, her heart tightened. Could this be what she wanted to see?

Afterwards, I was restless all day, but nothing happened. Everyone cheered my little brother and then dispersed. Only Bu Changzai reluctantly left his daughter behind and could not take her back. Lan Qi coaxed her to go back to Zhongcui. On the way to the palace, seeing the eldest elder brother crying and being hugged and sitting on the shoulders by Concubine Tong, and seeing Huigui standing on the side of the road staring from a distance, I couldn't express the feeling in my heart.

Two days later, Lan Qi went to serve in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and she stayed in the palace for a long time due to her illness. Question: "I heard that the emperor wanted to see you a few days ago, but you didn't go, but was it because he had a lucky maid that night?"

Lan Qi's heart tightened, and the expression on her face was rather embarrassing. The Empress Dowager believed it, and smiled and persuaded her: "You should be more open-minded. You are still young now. In 20 years, you will be old. Even if you are favored again, you must stop trading." My son, there will always be new people coming to the emperor, no matter whether the emperor likes you or not, I am afraid I am no longer in this world, you have to live a good life for yourself."

"Don't say such things." Lan Qi felt sour when she heard it, but the old man seemed to have seen it through. She was not as sad as she was in the past two years, but said calmly and peacefully, "People will grow old. You must have a broad and peaceful mind. How do you look at life, life will naturally give you the same reward. Isn't my Lan Qi just smiling foolishly every day, so life is also sweet?"

Only then did Xiao Changzai laugh, and holding the old man's arm, he said: "The concubine wants to make you happy too, these days are not idle in the palace, the concubine is going to make a bowl of delicious tea , if you can't guess what was used, you can reward the courtiers and concubines with good things."

The Empress Dowager laughed and said, "Go and get it, there is still something I haven't eaten in the world? If I guess it all, I won't ask you for something, and I will punish you to go to the emperor to ask for something he refused to give to anyone. "

Aunt Su Mala also came to have fun, and dragged Lan Qi to make tea, and saw clearly what to use, so that Xiao Chang would not play tricks for a while.Not long after, the old and the young came back with tea cheerfully, and saw a young eunuch rushing in, but the rules of the Palace of Compassion and Ning knew that urgent matters should not be sent to the Empress Dowager for fear of frightening the old man, the little eunuch He came straight to Mammy Su Mala, panting, and said, "Mommy, something serious happened, three, three elder brothers were poisoned to death..."

With a loud bang, all the tea trays in Lan Qi's hand fell to the ground, the words of nobleman Rong flashed in her mind, and the scene of Concubine Tong running to the third elder brother's house alone that day, what should come, still came ?
