Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 137 Let's Stay

The empress dowager's words, although weak, still carried a bit of majesty in it.

After Tong Jia Xili heard this, she was naturally unwilling, raised her head and pouted, "I know everything, but I still want to stay by your side."

The Empress Dowager was ill, she was too lazy to waste her energy arguing with Tong Jia Xili, she just turned her head away and said to Aunt Su Mala: "Send Tong Jia back later."

"The courtiers don't go back, the courtiers have to stay."

...

In the memory of the Empress Dowager, this was the first time that Tong Jia Xili disobeyed her face to face.But the rebellious reason made her unable to get angry.

The Empress Dowager still didn't speak, she just looked at Aunt Su Mala.

She has already ordered things down, she just needs to see the result.How Madam Su Mala will achieve this result is naturally not something that the Empress Dowager needs to take care of.

"Tonggege." Aunt Su Mala reminded in a low voice: "Let's talk about these things later."

To stay or not to stay, there is always some room for maneuver.Right now, it's really not good to just fight with the Empress Dowager like this.

"The concubine's mansion specially found the elders from Changbai Mountain to take ginseng, and it has been sent to the Palace of Compassion. Winter is coming soon, and it is also suitable for you, the Empress Dowager."

The queen opened her mouth, reckoning it would be good to divert the topic.

"En." The Empress Dowager lazily responded, shrank her body back, and said: "The mourning family is exhausted, you should retreat first."

Aunt Su Mala immediately stepped forward to serve the Empress Dowager covering the quilt, and then followed the Empress and Tong Jia Xili, and retreated outside the bedroom together.

Outside, the concubines are waiting eagerly one by one.

Concubine De and Concubine Rong were concerned about the Empress Dowager's condition. Seeing the Empress come out, they couldn't help asking: "How is the Empress Dowager? I heard that she woke up, but is she better?"

The queen said: "Woke up, said a few words, and fell asleep again. You have been guarding all night, you should go back and have a rest. The empress dowager is asleep, and we are not needed."

The concubines nodded one after another, but Mrs. Ping seemed not very lucky.

"Since the empress dowager is awake, the benefit of this greeting falls on the empress alone. The empress alone has taken up the heart of our guard all night."

...

"What time is this, are you still thinking about it?"+"

Concubine Rong has always been a good-natured master, now that she heard nobleman Ping speak like this, she couldn't help but refute.

Guiren Ping shut his mouth in embarrassment just now, and Nanny Su Mala and Tong Jia Xili also came out together.

"Whether you stay or not, it doesn't matter if the servant says it." Su Mala said earnestly, "The Empress Dowager always knows your intentions."

This was said in a low voice, and the concubine in front didn't pay much attention to it.

On the contrary, Mr. Ping frowned immediately, and said again: "Hey, isn't it Tong Gege? It turned out that the Empress Dowager was sent back to the mansion, and she followed me here?"

The people present were suddenly silent.

Not to mention that the queen is still present.Although the empress is stable now, Concubine De and Concubine Rong still remember her domineering deeds in the early years.

In addition, Tong Jia Xili was born in a noble family, and was highly valued by the Empress Dowager. "Sent back to the government" is even more impossible to talk about.

"Dong Yun." The queen said coldly: "I went back and reported to the emperor, saying that nobleman Ping recklessly provoked and caused trouble, so I can't wait to return to Yikun Palace for half a year."

"The princess moved to elder brother's care, so as not to be ruined by the teacher. In addition, Concubine Tong Guifei failed to restrain nobleman Ping, and fined her salary for half a year as an example to others."

After all, the queen winked at Madam Su Mala.

Aunt Su Mala knew what the queen meant, and immediately called Aunt Dali to come over and take nobleman Ping out.

After listening to the Queen's series of orders, Mr. Ping was dragged out and disappeared from sight before he even had time to recover.

For the first time, the queen showed her talent for being swift and impeccable.She even punished her own sister, and no one else could find fault in this matter.

Lord Kangxi also detested Mr. Ping long ago.If it wasn't for Hesheli's face and Empress Xiaocheng's face, he would have wanted to lock her up forever.

"Mad dog bites wantonly, aunt must not get angry." Tong Jia Xili tried her best to calm down, and said to the queen: "I have worked hard all night, aunt should go back earlier."

"Ah."

The queen was indeed exhausted physically and mentally.Being angry with Pinggui for a while was even more annoying, leading a group of irrelevant concubines, they all went back to the palace to rest.

In the Compassionate Ning Palace, Tong Jia Xili stayed behind.

Aunt Su Mala wanted to persuade her, but seeing Tong Jia Xili busy, she either went to check the decoction or the small kitchen to check the meals.

All of a sudden, I also feel that this seems to be the way she was when she was still in the past.As soon as his heart softened, he simply put aside the orders of the former empress dowager for the time being.

Half an hour later, Lord Kangxi heard about Mr. Ping as soon as he came down to court, and immediately praised the empress for her excellent job.He didn't intend to take care of nobleman Ping at all, so he immediately came to the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

The concubines had already dispersed, and the Compassionate Ning Palace seemed even more quiet.

Naturally, Lord Kangxi didn't tell anyone, so he came in quietly.

"Su Mala, how is the emperor's grandmother?" Kangxi was naturally concerned about the condition of the empress dowager, so he hurriedly asked.

Aunt Su Mala said everything, and poured tea to Lord Kangxi herself.

Grandpa Kangxi was not in the mood to drink tea, and only carefully advised: "Grandmother here, remember to be careful. Use whatever you need."

"The maids who are on duty every night need to be more cautious, and there must be no mistakes or omissions."

...

After ordering everything, he called Li Dequan over and said, "Go and get all my memorials. I want to review the memorials in the side hall. If there is any news from the emperor's grandmother, come and tell me immediately."

"The slave obeys the order."

Li Dequan had just agreed to withdraw and order the little eunuch to do something, Tong Jia Xili gritted his teeth, and knelt in front of Lord Kangxi.

"My daughter has something to ask the emperor."

Tong Jia Xili kowtowed, and said: "My daughter used to serve the Empress Dowager, and she also received a lot of care from the Empress Dowager."

"Although there is no shortage of ministers and daughters to take care of in the Compassionate Ning Palace, the ministers and daughters are willing to stay and do small things within their ability. You can sweep and sprinkle, cook porridge and decoct medicine."

This remark touched people's hearts, and even Lord Kangxi was greatly moved after hearing it.

"There is no need to sweep these things. If you want to stay... then stay temporarily, and leave the palace when the imperial grandmother recovers from her illness."

With Master Kangxi's words, Tong Jia Xili naturally has a more backbone in her heart.

And Lord Kangxi probably also felt that the empress dowager's illness was severe this time, and if it really came to her deathbed, it would be good for Tong Jia Xili to repay her kindness.
