Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 180

The days are like running water, and it is the day of the draft in a blink of an eye.

After getting off the mule cart outside the Shenwu Gate, the selected show girls were divided into Man, Mongolian and Han and lined up in three rows, and were led into the palace by the eunuchs.

First, a special father-in-law checks his eyes, ears, nose, hair, skin, etc., and then uses a ruler to connect his hands and feet to observe his walking posture.

Then stay in the palace for a full month, and a special aunt will teach the rules, and judge her character, style, wisdom, ignorance, virtuous or not, and pick out the "beautiful beauty, intelligence overwhelming crowd" beautiful women.

By the time I actually read it for the first time, nearly a month had passed.

In the Qixiang Palace, Wang Miheng got up early in the morning to wash, wash, and eat, just for today's first reading.

During this month, most of what she heard in her ears was about the beautiful women entering the palace for election, how many beauties there were in Chuxiu Palace, and she also wanted to go and see for herself to open her eyes, but because of her different identities, it was not easy to go.

Now, at the first reading, she can finally go to see it openly, but she is not as interested as in the past few days.

But it was a good idea to dress up a bit before taking Qiumei to the Tiyuan Hall.

The Tiyuan Hall is the place where this first reading was held.

When they arrived at Tiyuan Hall, Concubine De and Concubine Rong had already arrived, only Concubine Yi was waiting.

Last night, Kangxi flipped Yifei's brand, so he had to delay some time.

As soon as Wang Miheng entered, Concubine De and Concubine Rong were taken aback, their gazes all fell on her cheeks, their eyes were full of disbelief.

It took a long time for Concubine De to come back to her senses, she smiled and stepped forward to hold Wang Miheng's hand: "God bless, it's all over."

Wang Miheng slandered in his heart, just thinking, this Concubine De is indeed worthy of being a person with a deep family background, she can say these words right away, it's no wonder that Kangxi treats her differently from others.

Being able to talk like this, even if you know what you are saying is not true, it sounds comfortable.

After listening to Concubine De's words, Concubine Rong congratulated Wang Miheng: "Congratulations to my sister. I knew that my sister is a person of great fortune. The emperor must be happy to know."

Saying that, she glanced at Concubine De standing there without any trace, picked up the veil and covered the corners of her mouth, there was clearly a bit of sarcasm in her eyes.

Although Wang Miheng didn't understand the twists and turns in her heart, he could tell that Concubine Rong was in a really good mood.

When Concubine Yi came over, she dealt with it a bit before she sat down.

After taking her seat, Concubine Yi whispered something in Concubine De's ear, she didn't know what she said, but Concubine De frowned.

Sitting there, Wang Miheng only heard the eunuch's shrill voice, and then the beautiful girls entered the hall one by one.

Five rows and three rows, all standing in a very orderly manner, it seems that the color is really good.

The four of them sat on the top and chose to watch it together. Because it was the first reading, Sheng Jia did not come in person. After the imperial concubine passed away, the four assistants in charge of the sixth palace were headed by Concubine De. At this time, Concubine De was naturally not pretentious and asked. A few words, or leaving a sign, or putting down a sign, there is a slight smile on the face from the beginning to the end, and there is no sign of mind at all.

Concubine Yi, on the other hand, was only favored last night, and now seeing these gentle and well-behaved, or beautiful and lovely young women, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and also showed a bit of displeasure on her face.

Sitting on the high seat, Wang Miheng felt that his eyes were almost not enough to see. All these fair and fair ladies had different temperaments, some were dignified, some were lively.

A few people spoke, obviously with a bit of childishness, Wang Miheng almost laughed out loud.

After a whole day of selection, dozens of beautiful women were left. According to the rules, they all lived in Chuxiu Palace, waiting for Kangxi to personally select.

During this period, the concubines of various palaces would visit Xuanxiu girls from time to time, chatting with them, and taking a look at the temperament of these beautiful girls by the way.

Others have done this, Wang Miheng is naturally not easy to carry.

Randomly passed two beautiful girls over, and after talking for a while, all the words were well-behaved, smiling without showing teeth and not shaking their heads, except for the difference in appearance, there was no difference in demeanor, and I was secretly moved .

On the day of the re-election, naturally Wang Miheng and the others don't have to worry about it, the queen mother and Kangxi will personally choose.

In the end, there were only a dozen people who left their badges, and the most beautiful one was Guar Jiarongyuan, who was conferred the title of concubine when she first entered the palace, so she couldn't help attracting people's attention.As for the other dozen or so nobles who are often present and agree, it is obviously not enough to see.

Qixiang Palace
After listening to Qiumei finishing the inquiring news, Wang Miheng nodded and said: "It's really a great favor, she was sealed as a concubine as soon as she entered the palace, and the emperor even let her live in Yikun Palace, it's really a shame. people envy."

A strangeness flashed in Qiumei's eyes: "Yikun Palace is good, but our palace is not bad either. She is the daughter of Human, the leader of the third-rank association, and she comes from Guerjia's family. The emperor naturally values ​​her more."

When she said this, Qiumei had a bit of confidence, Wang Miheng recovered her appearance in the past few days, and everyone in Qixiang Palace was happy.

The only downside is that the emperor has not been to the Qixiang Palace for quite a while.

In the past, when the master's face was not good, he often came to sit with the master. These days, the draft, the emperor has a newcomer, and the master has never stepped in here.

Fortunately, the emperor sent Eunuch Li to present many rewards yesterday. From the looks of it, the emperor must know about the master's recovery.

It's just that these days, the emperor wants to accompany the new couple, so he might not be able to attend to the Qixiang Palace.

Listening to Qiumei's words, Wang Miheng just smiled and didn't speak.

In this way, this is the Kangxi she knows, and she can't neglect the newcomers who entered the palace because of her.

After these years in the palace, the two of them had already established a tacit understanding. Now that he had a newcomer by his side, he couldn't help but favor her, so naturally he wouldn't come to see her face.

These words were said by Kangxi himself a few days ago, and Wang Miheng angrily pushed back at that time.Although he knew it was a joke, he also understood that during the period when the newcomers entered the palace, Kangxi would not come over.

It's all about relaxing for myself. I don't have to think about anything, and I don't have to deal with Kangxi. When I wake up, I drink tea and read books. When I'm tired, I lie down and rest for a while.

She thought this way, but everyone in the Qixiang Palace had different thoughts.

In the evening, Wang Miheng finished his meal, flipping through the book in his hand, Qiumei came in and whispered something in her ear: "Master, the emperor has flipped through the signboard of Hefei today."

A few days ago, Kangxi first pampered the nobleman who had just been elected into the palace, and then summoned Mrs. Yi to agree with his concubine, but he was not summoned for a long time. Heard that his concubine was impatient, and he managed a lot of money in private. But she has just entered the palace, even if she is a concubine, she has no foundation, spent a lot of money, but she has never even seen the emperor.

I can't, let her "meet" the emperor, let the emperor feel that she has no shame.

Newcomers always have some scruples when they enter the palace.

Now, it was finally the day when she was favored by Kangxi.

After this night, she is the veritable master of the harem.

Wang Miheng didn't care about this topic, so he just told her to go to the side hall and bring Yunxuan here.

The little bun grew up little by little, and has become a white and fat little lady. After a while, he will go to study in the study.

This son of hers is extremely intelligent, almost to the point where he can't forget it with a photograph. He has learned the Three Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames, and Thousand Character Classic.

He has a calm personality, which is different from ordinary children, and he loves to read books very much. Wang Miheng asked people to find many books, some enlightening, some a bit esoteric, and they were piled up in his room.

Every time he sees the little buns reading books seriously, Wang Miheng will always have a feeling of "my family has a baby who is just growing up".

After a while, a nanny led Yunxuan in.

"My son pays his respects to Er Niang."

The little person greeted her solemnly when he saw her. Wang Miheng wanted to stop him, but he just sat on the soft couch and looked at the person in front of him with a smile.

After he greeted him, he stretched out his hand and pulled him over.

"Have you read all the books Er Niang gave you?"

Yunyu thought for a while before answering: "Yes." He scratched his head, and said with a little embarrassment: "But there is one thing my son doesn't understand."

Wang Miheng couldn't help being a little surprised, but asked with a smile: "Tell it to Er Niang."

"The son saw the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty Kong Rong Biography" and said: "When I was four years old, I ate pears with my brothers, and the younger ones were attracted by the fusion." The adult asked why, and replied: "My child, the law should be taken." Smaller ones.’ It’s because of the clan’s surprise.”

"Brothers are big and younger, brother to brother is strong, brother to brother is weak; a pear has a size, a big pear benefits a lot, and a small pear benefits a small one. The strong get the big benefits, and the weak get the small benefits. How can we be modest? Why is it called humility to give the strong to the benefit of the weak? It shows that this person has a very deep city. When he waited until the end, he abandoned his wife and ended up betraying his relatives. This kind of humility, my son thinks it is hypocrisy, just for gaining fame and fortune."

Listening to the little bun talking, Wang Miheng opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

This is not clever, it is clearly abnormal.Although he knew that Yunxuan was different from ordinary people, Wang Miheng was a little scared when he heard this argument.

How can this little mind think so much?

Unable to hear Wang Miheng's answer, Yunyu asked puzzledly: "Emiang, is what your son said wrong?"

Wang Miheng thought for a while, and then said to him: "Of course, Kong Rong's giving up pears is a model of humility and courtesy. You only need to know how to give in properly. If you want to give in at any time, you don't have to kill your nature." As Miheng said, he touched Xiao Baozi's head, and said with a smile, "Why doesn't Erniang know that Yunyu is so smart, she can understand this kind of truth."

Hearing Wang Miheng's words, Xiao Baozi felt a little embarrassed.

Before he could open his mouth, Wang Miheng said again: "However, you need to keep in mind that since it is a model, it is an unshakable thing. Even if you understand it in your heart, don't say it out loud, lest you offend others."

"Yes, my son understands. My son only told Er Niang, and he didn't even tell Huang Ama." The little bun's voice was still a bit childish, and the words he said were indeed extraordinarily stable.

For a while, Wang Miheng didn't know whether he should be thankful that his son was so smart, or worry that his son was too smart.

Wang Miheng said softly: "Yunxuan, remember Erniang's words, don't let others know, you have learned everything."

Little Baozi understood very well, nodded his head, and said, "Yes, Er Niang, my son remembers one sentence: Keeping a low profile is the way to survive."

Wang Miheng felt that his wisdom towards his son had been refreshed again.

It was not until the second day that Wang Miheng saw Hepin Guerjia who came to pay a visit.
