Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 121
At the end of July, on the night before the Empress Dowager's birthday, the entire Forbidden City could already see some excitement before major festivals.

The Compassionate Ning Palace has already been decorated with lights and festoons, and many lanterns have been hung.

This battle is even worse than that during the New Year's Eve and Spring Festival in previous years.

In the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager was about to wash up.Tong Jia Xi Li stood aside, ready to serve the Empress Dowager to bed.

"Xi Li."

Suddenly, the Empress Dowager waved her hand and summoned Xi Li.

"My daughter is here." Tong Jia took a few small steps forward, and she came to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager signaled Tong Jia Xili to sit down, then took Tong Jia Xili's hand, patted the back of her hand and said: "When Ai's family celebrates its birthday this year, you should go back to Tong's Mansion."

Tong Jia Xili was startled, a little at a loss.

What's wrong with the Empress Dowager, suddenly talking about this?
Although Tong Jia Xili also knew that when she entered the palace to serve beside the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager more or less wanted to consider her own meaning.

After all, Tong Jia's clan is too powerful.Sometimes, it's good to leave yourself alone in the palace.

At least...the people in the Tong family can be vigilant at all times.

"Empress Dowager, my daughter..."

Tong Jia Xili just wanted to refute something, but the Empress Dowager continued: "Your calmness is something that your aunt doesn't have. Even if she has been in the palace for many years, she can't compare to your calmness and calmness in judging the situation."

"You still have a long way to go in the future. When you return to Tong's Mansion, they can give you a good education. Serving Ai's family is just to pass the time."

"Your servant stays in the palace, it's not a pass time, and I learned a lot." Tong Jia Xili shook his head and said: "My daughter, I am willing to stay in the palace."

But the Empress Dowager shook her head, disapproving of Tong Jia Xili's remarks.

Her mind has been made up.No matter what Tong Jia Xili said, it would be difficult to change.Although helpless, but also can only accept.

That night, Tong Jia Xili had mixed feelings in her heart.Some things always happen too fast, giving her no time to react.

...

The next day, before dawn, the palace was already busy.

When Tong Jiaxi Li Mao was getting up, many things outside were already ready.As long as the empress dowager has breakfast, everything can go on.

Today, Tong Jia Xili didn't have to wait in front of her all the time, she only needed to serve the Empress Dowager for breakfast, and then went to Chengqian Palace first.

In Chengqian Palace, Mrs. Tong's Nala family has already entered the palace, and she is sitting and chatting with the Queen at this moment.

"Auntie, my mother."

Tong Jia Xili got dressed and sat beside the two of them.

It had been a long time since Nala had seen Tong Jia Xili, when she suddenly saw her daughter, she naturally pulled Tong Jia Xili to ask questions, and said a lot.

Tong Jia Xili responded one by one, and finally told himself last night that the Empress Dowager would release her back to the mansion after her birthday.

The queen was also surprised by Nalashi, and couldn't help frowning and asked: "Why did the empress dowager suddenly have such an idea?"

Their first thought was naturally to think that Tong Jia Xili had made some mistake, which made the Empress Dowager disgusted.

But after thinking about it carefully, I realized that it would not be like this.Otherwise, it would be more than just a simple matter of letting Tong Jia Xili return home.

"I don't know either. The Empress Dowager only said that I shouldn't live under the confines of the palace, and hoped that I could have a carefree life like my little daughter."

...

The three talked and talked, but they couldn't figure out what the Empress Dowager meant.

"Empress, Mrs. Tong."

In desperation, Dong Yun happened to come in from the outside, and reported: "It's time for the banquet, Niang Niang and Mrs. Tong should go to Qianqing Palace first."

In the Qianqing Palace at the other end, the concubines had already gathered together.

Even Concubine Wen Gui, who hadn't been out for a long time, put on her auspicious clothes and sat in her seat solemnly.

And Ping Guiren, who had not shown up in the palace for a long time and was suppressed for a long time, finally brought his "loved daughter" to the banquet together.

When the queen came, all the concubines and relatives, Fujin's wives got up one after another and saluted the queen.

The queen responded kindly, and walked slowly to her seat and sat down.

Tong Jia Xili has a special status and is also loved by the Empress Dowager.For this birthday banquet, they naturally stayed by the queen's side.

On the other side, the elder brothers and the princesses were already sitting properly.

From time to time, Yinzhen raised his head to look in Tong Jiaxili's direction, even his eyes were filled with joy and a smile.

But Yin Zuo and Wen Xian nodded to Tong Jia Xili when she first came in.They are, of course, Tong Jia Xili's most trusted friends.

only…

Among the princes and princesses, some people's eyes are not so kind.

For example, Princess Kejing, who was sitting in a corner and was alienated by everyone, stared at Tong Jia Xili as if she was about to spew fire and eat her.

It's a pity that on such an occasion, Kejing couldn't help being presumptuous.

Ever since the person to marry was chosen, Concubine Yi also felt that this adopted daughter was useless.If you can't use it to win over your relatives, you will become more and more negligent.

In addition, Duan Jing and Rong Xian, who have always been friends, no longer interact with her.It can be said that Princess Kejing has no one who really cares about her in this palace.

certainly…

Besides Ke Jing, there was another person whose eyes would stay on Tong Jia Xili's face from time to time.

This person is the prince.

The prince is still full of curiosity about Tong Jia Xili.Although his plan failed, he was not discouraged, but he still wanted to know what else he didn't know about this outstanding-looking Ge Ge.

Among the life-wives Gege, quite a few of them had looked at Tong Jia Xili.

They were full of curiosity about Tong Jia Xili who was able to enter the palace to serve the Empress Dowager, so naturally they couldn't help but take a second look.

Dong Eshi took four or five more glances.

"Just sit next to the queen, what's the air?"

Dong Eshi cursed secretly, but what she got was a somewhat vicious look from her mother-in-law.

The domineering Dong Eshi in the nest was frightened at once, and dared not speak any more.

In the huge Qianqing Palace, in a corner that no one noticed, there was another person who looked a little lonely.Her figure looked a little thin, and her clothes always looked a little thin.

Gritting her teeth, Ulanara Yartan made up her mind to integrate into the circle of the capital's dignitaries.

...

After a while, Lord Kangxi and the Empress Dowager came together.

"The Emperor is here—"

"The empress dowager arrived—"

　All kinds of male and female supporting roles~
　　Well, good night.
