Chapter 336 Visiting Concubine Yi
Qi Luo suppressed the disgust in her heart, half-sitting on the bed facing the humble Wanyan family, she is not a magnanimous person, especially since that day, she has been very sensitive to red jewelry, and put those precious and beautiful All the ruby ​​jewelry was moved away from the eyes, and even people close to him were not allowed to wear red jewelry. It was not until Hong Zhou was born that he had no problems and gradually improved.

With tears in her eyes, Wanyan apologized one after another, explaining that she didn't mean it at the beginning, but she was only concerned about Qi Luo who was in a daze before she spoke rudely. Qi Luo smiled lightly and rubbed his forehead wearily, "Since the matter of the fourteenth sibling has already happened, let's talk about it now." What's the use? You'd better pay more attention in the future, I'm weak, so I won't keep you, you can do what you want."

"Fourth sister-in-law, if you have a lot of people, please forgive me for this." Wanyan lowered her eyes to hide the resentment in her eyes, raised her head and looked at Qi Luo with hazy eyes full of apology and remorse, begging softly. She was kicked by Yinzhen and vomited blood. He spent a lot of time fighting with Nian Shi in the Prince's Mansion, so Wanyan Shi is two points older than the last time we met, his skin is pale and dull, and he has the face of a woman who is nearly thirty years old, Qi Luo saw Taking a look at the more charming and weak Nian Shi after giving birth, she felt a bit of pity and a little strangeness in her heart, as if Wan Yan Shi was suffering for her, but as long as she thought of her thoughts that day, Qi Luo gritted her teeth and hardened her heart, After saying a few words in a lukewarm manner, she slowly closed her eyes, "Ziying, send Fourteen Fujin, I'm tired and want to rest."

Wanyan's face froze, she did not expect that Qi Luo, who has always been very measured and seems to have no temper, would take her in this way, and said awkwardly, "Then, then I will not disturb the fourth sister-in-law to rest." Nian thoughtfully Glancing at Qi Luo who had closed her eyes, she always felt that she seemed to have missed something, and then thought of her poor son, secretly gritted her teeth, shook off the veil, and followed Wanyan out obediently with lowered eyebrows.

After they left, Qi Luo opened his eyes, looked at the backs of Wanyan and Nian who looked like good sisters, and sighed secretly, they obviously wanted to trample each other to death, but they were still so close, the acting of these people The skill is really too deep.Ziying turned around, trying to tuck Qi Luo in the quilt, "Hong Zhou, can someone take care of you?"

"Please don't worry, Fujin, Mother Qin is welcoming guests outside, and little elder brother can't make any trouble." Seeing that Qi Luo didn't want to rest, Ziying whispered to Qi Luo what happened outside, and heard everyone's envy and Tong Nian's family. Compared with his son, Qi Luo murmured softly, "This is not what I want at all. Nianshi is such a tragedy. Miscarriage and death, which of these things do you not experience?"

After Hong Zhou’s three feasts, Kangxi went to Yifei’s place. After a night of favors, Yifei announced Wufujin and Jiufujin into the palace, and asked about Hongzhou and the fourteenth freshman brother’s three washings with concern. Naturally, Jiufujin knew Yifei's intentions, and reported everything in detail. Even some absurd rumors were told to Yifei as if they were telling jokes. Yifei glanced at the dull Wufujin, satisfied Please pat Jiu Fujin's hand and reward her with a pair of red jade bracelets that Concubine Yi gave as a dowry, before letting them out of the palace.After they left, Concubine Yi called a credible and well-informed person and asked a few words in a low voice. The more she listened, the more satisfied she became, her eyebrows completely stretched out, and the corners of her mouth curled up, "I should also congratulate Sister Defei, What a joy to have two more grandchildren."

"Your Majesty, Elder Fourteen and Elder Eight have always been close, you." Yi Fei snorted softly, "Who doesn't know what Elder Fourteen is thinking? This kind of person who rises by taking advantage of the situation is only raised by Sister Defei." Come out, treat everyone like a fool, but this palace just visits De Concubine's sister to talk, and has no other thoughts? Even if the old fourteen has a day, De Concubine will not dare to do anything to me? What's more, the emperor's heart is against De Sister concubine also. Hmph, she didn't ask for this. The fifth child was not raised by Bengong's side, but I didn't see anyone in this palace who favored him like that? Kneeling and reprimanding Prince Yong for a little bit of punishment, the fourth elder brother again Not to be favored, he is also the emperor's most important son, can the emperor not feel sorry for him? My palace is really dizzy seeing De Concubine's sister."

Concubine Yi tidied up neatly and brightly, with a happy expression as if she was a few years younger, and walked towards the Yonghe Palace in a mighty manner with the female officials and servants.Concubine De had just finished reading the scriptures to pray for blessings in front of the Buddha at this time, and seeing off the nurse sent by the Queen Mother to oversee the work, she stood up, feeling dizzy, and the nurse next to her hurriedly stepped forward to support Concubine De, looking at Concubine De's pale face With a look on his face, he asked with concern, "Your Majesty, it's better to be the Imperial Physician Xuan, your body is important."

Concubine De coughed twice, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't bother me, I just need to rest." Lying on the couch, the nurse half knelt down and massaged Concubine De's swollen legs. Leaning on her head and closing her eyes, she thought it was just a retreat behind closed doors, but unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager would send a nanny to accompany her every day to pray for Yinzhen and recite scriptures. After a few months like this, the anger is even more difficult to dissipate, and it caught up with the cold and hot seasons, and caught the wind and cold, although it is not serious, but it needs to be recuperated with peace of mind, but the Empress Dowager's people come every day, and Concubine De dare not offend again Kangxi could only drag his body and stand stiffly, secretly hoping that this year would pass earlier.

"I don't know how the old fourteen is doing now?" Mammy was stunned for a moment, and then she returned with a smile, "Madam, I heard that the fourteenth master has been sent to the military department by the emperor. Although it may not be the chief elder brother, the emperor still values ​​ten. Fourth Master's." Concubine De suddenly opened her eyes, "Are you serious? Old Fourteen is going to be in charge of the Ministry of War?" Mammy nodded affirmatively, Concubine De let out a long breath and murmured, "That's great, Ben Gong's crime is not in vain, the emperor has the old fourteen in his heart, how can it be so easy to change the other elder brother's misfortune, such a treatment is probably to blame me for hurting Yinzhen, after all, the emperor treats him It's also important, if Yinzhen can be used by the old fourteenth, the military department, the household department, wouldn't it be even more powerful?" The mother turned around and went to serve tea to Concubine De, laughing secretly behind her back, as soon as the shrewd Concubine De concubine met I haven't understood the matter between the fourteenth elder brother and the fourth elder brother. It's really pitiful.

The palace maid came in and squatted down to salute, "I would like to report to Concubine De, and Concubine Yi came to visit and congratulate you." Concubine De didn't want to see you at first, but when she heard Congratulations, her thinking was a bit off. Could it be that she gave in?Concubine De got up and ordered the female officer to clean and dress her again, covered her pale complexion with thick powder, and covered the silver strands in her hair with the maid who combed her hair best, and put on the head jewelry bestowed by Kangxi, Putting on the bright golden imperial concubine cheongsam, she glanced at the mirror, nodded in satisfaction, supported her mother, and walked dignifiedly towards the main hall of Yonghe Palace.

Concubine Yi drank tea and looked at the furnishings of the Yonghe Palace, the grandeur was less popular, if the emperor didn't come, what's the use of being extravagant?Recalling Kangxi's tenderness last night, Concubine Yi's face flushed slightly, and her eyes became brighter. When Concubine De came in, she saw Concubine Yi's affectionate look. She felt sour and said with a smile, "Let Sister Yifei wait, It's my sister's fault."

Concubine Yi put down her teacup and got up as if she wanted to salute, Concubine De hurriedly held her back, "We sisters are still so polite?" Concubine Yi seemed to be unable to refuse, she took advantage of the situation and sat beside Concubine De, looking at Concubine De with concern, "Elder Concubine De has been reduced, and I admire my motherly sister." Having said that, Concubine Yi felt very proud when she saw Concubine De's aging state, how could Concubine De who has good eyesight not see it? ?But at this time, I could only suppress my anger, and said with a smile, "Yinzhen is also my son. My elder sister is not as good as Yifei's younger sister. The fifth elder brother is raised by the queen mother. My younger sister is at ease when she sees her, but Yinzhen is my son." There is not a little bit of love in my heart."

"If you want me to say, Sister Defei's scriptures are very useful. Sifu Jin gave birth to a son again. I really congratulate Sister Defei. The emperor rewarded Sifujin with a lot of things, and he named it Hongzhou himself. In the past, it was always said that the fourth elder brother's heirs were weak, but since he married the daughter of Duke Zhiyuan, the fourth elder brother has three direct sons, and Si Fujin is also filial and virtuous, so I really envy sister Defei."

Concubine De's eyes flashed, and she said with relief, "Sifu Jin is really rare, she has no choice." Concubine Yi felt that Concubine De was uncomfortable, and continued to say with envy, "Hong Zhou, sister De Concubine doesn't know, then People who have seen it will like it. He can laugh when he just cries, but it hurts so much that everyone wants to hug him, and the good news came out on the Emperor's Longevity Day. Now everyone says he is auspicious child."

"Look at what I'm saying, sister Defei must want to hug Hongzhou very much, hey," Yifei sighed, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, held Defei's hand with concern, and persuaded with a smile in her eyes "Brother Fourteen's affairs will be fine. Sister Defei doesn't need to worry. Except for that Chihuahua Hong Zhou, no baby does not cry. Nian Shi's son just cries a little more. Take good care of him and he will be fine."

Concubine De was completely stunned. Since she was punished, no news from outside the palace could come in. Knowing about the sickness of the old fourteen, she didn't want to ask about it. Why did she hear this news and felt a little overwhelmed? Concubine Yi said in surprise "Doesn't Sister Defei know? The fourteenth elder brother Fujin gave birth to a little elder brother a month ago, but he has deficiencies. He is not as sweet as elder brother Hong Zhou. He is as thin and weak as a little girl." It's like a cat, it's really pitiful, no matter how you take care of it, you will cry, alas, Sister De Concubine, this is life, I'd better think about it."

"Thank you, Concubine Yi, for thinking about it. No matter how you say it is the son of the old fourteenth, the Nian family is also up to the mark. Although it comes from the Han army banner, the elder brother of the mother's family is also trusted by the emperor. My sister is content." Luo rushed together, feeling very dissatisfied in his heart, comparing, comparing, couldn't the old fourteen have been able to overwhelm Yinzhen?
"That's true. That Nian Gengyao, even Lao Jiu, has a crush on him, and he is very loyal to the eighth elder brother. If he returns to Beijing in time, he will not go to visit the Nian family, but he will go to the eighth elder brother eagerly. After all, He also followed the way of the eighth elder brother, and Lao Jiu also said that he is a person who will never forget his roots." Yi Fei thumped her arm, seeing the sudden change of De Fei's face, looked at De Fei with pity, and said in a low voice, " I didn't want to let Sister Defei know, but our decades of friendship, it's not appropriate not to say it, let me just say a few words, there are rumors outside, Fourteen Fujin used means to assassinate Nian, so the son of Fourteenth Brother That's why he's so delicate, it's not sure, maybe it's some nonsense, Fourteen Fujin is the daughter-in-law chosen by Defei's elder sister, how could he be so unfilial, even for her to give up the love at that time? Daughter of Lingzhu, my sister is really a pity for Sister Concubine De, she made a mistake."

Concubine De's face was stiff, the pain from nail nails made her wake up, a fierce light flashed in her eyes, and she pulled out a smile to retort, "Are there still few such rumors in the capital? It's just rumors. I'm afraid it's because I saw that the old fourteen was valued by the emperor." , the villain who just came out, the old fourteenth daughter-in-law, virtuous and virtuous, it will never be like this, sister Yifei is overthinking."

"I knew that Sister De Concubine was the one who loved her daughter-in-law. I'm really blessed to be on the Fourteenth Fortune, but I'll still be a bad person for a while, to remind Sister De Concubine that the wind may not be without rain." Concubine Yi seemed to remember What, I patted my leg, "What am I talking about? Sister De Concubine Qingxiu prayed for blessings, but it was beyond her reach, which made Sister De Concubine feel stuck. It's really my fault. Sister, don't blame me. Seeing Sister De Concubine's tired look, I can't help it." Don't bother me, you'd better rest, you have to chant scriptures tomorrow, it's because of this pious heart, Si elder brother can have another son, and Sister De Concubine deserves some credit."

Concubine De forced herself to smile and got up, her feet were a little soft, but she still stood upright and kindly sent Concubine Yi away.When Concubine Yi completely left the Yonghe Palace, Concubine De fell backwards, Nanny stepped forward and missed Concubine De by one step, looking at Concubine De who fell to the ground, Mammy lowered her head with a flash of smile in her eyes, and begged for mercy in horror "Your Majesty, slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die."

Concubine De's whole body seemed to be falling apart, and she said weakly, "If you don't help me up, what do you need?" The nanny hurriedly summoned the female officer to help Concubine De to lie down on the couch again, and saw Concubine De's hand was covered with her The scratches from the fingernails, Mammy persuaded distressedly, "Mother, why are you doing this?"

"Did you already know about the matter of the old fourteenth, why didn't you mention it in the palace?" Concubine De stared at Mammy, knelt on the ground, and Mammy said injustice, "I just heard that the maidservant just heard that the mother's body Weak, this servant is worried that you will hurt your spirit again, and wants to let it out to you slowly, but I didn't expect Concubine Yi, but this servant deserves to die, Madam, you must pay attention to your body, if you fall down, who will the fourteenth elder brother rely on? I'm afraid the concubine will too."

"Stop talking, after so many years, I still don't know what she's thinking." Concubine De coughed violently, and the nanny stepped forward and patted her on the back, and said in a low voice, "Ma'am, I'm afraid the Fourteen Fortunes are real. Concubine De hammered her chest fiercely, "What kind of retribution have I suffered? The daughter-in-law who has been chosen out of thousands of choices is so unbearable? What did I teach her back then, but she ignored my words? Nian Gengyao is old. Fourteen is a person who can be used, why is she not awake at all? If I can call her in, I will definitely reprimand her, my stomach is not as competitive as Yinzhen Fujin, and my mother's family is not as good as the Zhiyuan Duke's Mansion , and I had to hide it from her, I was really blind, why did I pick her? I actually let Concubine Yi see the joke, I really can't swallow this breath."

"Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, calm down." The nanny patted Concubine De, feeling as if she was short of breath, and touched her chest to let her breathe. After busying for a while, she seemed to have calmed down, but Concubine De's face was pale, it seemed The breath was not clear, and even the corners of the mouth unconsciously saliva flowed out, and the limbs were also a little stiff. The mother hurriedly wiped it off with a silk handkerchief, rubbed De Fei's arm, and said softly, "Madam, I'm afraid the fourteen Fujins are jealous. Even Fujin couldn't tolerate it, so the Fourteenth Lord

"I just said, how could the emperor know? Stupid, stupid." Concubine De opened her eyes wide and tightly grasped the hand of the nanny, "If you don't tell me, I still can't figure it out. It's like her method. What a fool, to disregard the future of the old fourteen just to fight for favor? It made me like this again, I won't let her go lightly."

"Your Majesty, you have to open it up a bit. Fortunately, the Fourteenth Master is fighting for his strength. The Emperor knows it well. Now that the Fourteenth Master has gone to the Ministry of War, he is in need of the Wanyan family. For the sake of the Fourteenth Master, you still..."

Concubine De closed her eyes, and said slowly, "For the sake of the old fourteenth, I can only bear it, I can only bear it." A trace of blood gushed out from the corner of her mouth, and the nun hurriedly wiped it clean, comforting softly. Concubine De's every cough has an echo, as if expressing her unwillingness.
