Chapter 174

Namin has just sent Lin Daiyu to get married, and he has to pack up for the fourth elder brother. Kangxi is going to inspect the Tongzhou river embankment, and ordered the prince, fourth elder brother, fifth elder brother, eighth elder brother, fourteenth elder brother, and fifteenth elder brother. Elder Brother and Sixteenth Elder Brother will accompany you.

Namin stayed in the capital and lived as usual, the only difference was that when she entered the palace to pay her respects, she would occasionally bring Nian with her, which was of course ordered by Concubine De.

Concubine De's move is different from her previous life. In her previous life, Concubine De had never courted Nian Shi, otherwise Nian Shi would not have been favored due to the rift between Si elder brother and her. So, she made this change in this life, Namin Of course, it is very welcome. As for the reasons for these changes, Ne Min can guess to a certain extent.

In the previous life, Concubine De didn't want to see the fourth elder brother, but wanted to control him. Not only did she arrange eyeliner in Prince Yong's mansion, Li Shi was also drawn by her, so naturally she didn't have to worry about Nian Shi anymore, just look at her Just fight Namin.In this life, Na Min has already removed or removed De Concubine's eyeliner early on, leaving one or two under control. It can be said that she can only know what Na Min wants De Concubine to know, while Li Shi , and even failed to get ahead at all, and the Uya clan that Concubine De got from her natal family came in, and she also made a slight change, and was pushed back by Namin. Song clan was an accident, but it was the same. Let Concubine De achieve her goal, so it's not surprising that she will set her goal on Nianshi.

However, from Concubine De's attitude towards Nian Shi, Namin saw her other intentions. Apart from using Nian Shi to understand and influence the internal affairs of Prince Yong's mansion, Concubine De should still have the intention of wooing Nian's family. Xinxin, she did this, of course, not to help the fourth elder brother, but to pry a corner for the fourteenth elder brother, but she is too underestimating the Nian family, and also thinks that the fourteenth elder brother is too high, the fourteenth elder brother Of course, brother is very good in her heart, and he does have the status of a prince, but at this time, no one will bet on him. Of course it will be different when he becomes the king of the general, but that is not the case. It will be a few more years, and in these few years, things will change a lot.

But right now, there is another thing that has changed, that is, Concubine Shuhui is not well.

Concubine Shuhui was the concubine of the former Emperor Shunzhi, and also the younger sister of the current Empress Dowager. Namin can't remember the exact time of her death, but she knows that it should be after Kangxi's [-]th birthday. Waste, of course it hasn't come yet, it may make the empress dowager anxious and the noble concubine say "it's not good".

"How could it be so sudden?" Namin was a little puzzled, "When I visited the palace on New Year's Day, I saw that she was in good spirits. It's only been a few days, why..."

"It can be said," the imperial concubine said with a soft sigh, "the concubine also joked with the queen mother for a long time in the first few days."

"I'm in a bad mood when I see Queen Mother Mama," Namin also sighed, "I'm afraid it's going to be hard work for your empress."

"As long as the Queen Mother is fine, I will be willing no matter how hard I work," the concubine sighed again, "It's just that the Queen Mother and the Concubine are sisters. I'm afraid that when the day comes, the Queen Mother will be too sad, and I won't be able to explain to the Emperor. gone."

"No," Namin comforted the concubine, "The queen mother Mama has always been in good health, if the princess really has something unbearable to say, it is inevitable that the queen mother Mama will be sad, but with the imperial doctors by her side, It will not make her old man sad."

"You're right," the imperial concubine nodded, and then asked Na Min, "Has Concubine De made things difficult for you recently?"

"It's nothing to be embarrassed about," Namin smiled, "Ernie's temperament has always been flat, and I've always been clumsy. I can't make her smile too much. It's also my unfilial daughter-in-law."

"You don't have to say that," the imperial concubine said helplessly, "How can I not know what is Defei's temperament? I have seen someone who is partial, but I have never seen such partiality. Fourth elder brother and you have also been wronged all these years Yes, my sister Izumi knows, but I don't know how to feel sorry for her."

"Huang Ernie has always loved us so much," Namin's expression darkened, "It's a pity that we are not blessed to be by her side all the time."

"My sister has always been very pleased with your pure filial piety," the concubine said again, "It was you who worried her the most before she died. You have also asked me to take care of you as much as you can. Yes, it's a pity that my abilities are limited and I can't do much."

"The empress has done enough for us," Namin said hastily, "for so many years, it is thanks to the protection of the empress, both in the open and in the dark, that we have been able to travel safely and smoothly."

"You are flattering me," the imperial concubine smiled, "Forget it, there is no need to say these polite words between us, you just need to remember, it's nothing more than small things, you can't let your filial piety suffer , but if Concubine De makes things too difficult, you don't have to endure it, I am not a fake concubine, if she can suppress you, I can suppress her too."

Na Min responded with a smile, knowing in her heart that this should be Tong Jia's lineage making a statement. For so many years, the identity and power of the noble concubine has been there, and it is a kind of suppression for the concubine De. Now she said it clearly, Of course it won't be for nothing.

Kangxi is getting older and older. If Tong Jia wants to maintain longevity, the best thing is to make contributions to the next emperor. They chose the eighth elder brother before, but they failed. Now they should give up their ideas. Calling back to the fourth elder brother again, in fact, the fourth elder brother should be their best candidate, why did Kangxi favor Tong Jia's so much?Because Tong Jia's family is his mother's family, although Empress Xiaoyi and the imperial concubine failed to give birth to a prince, Empress Xiaoyi has an adopted son, the fourth elder brother. What's more, the fourth elder brother's biological mother, Concubine De, is extremely disliked by him. Close, so the fourth elder brother should have been the most important candidate for Tong Jia's protection.

It's just that the fourth elder brother's temperament is too unpleasant. First, he was judged by the emperor as "impatient and volatile", and then he overcorrected and became too serious, a little unkind, and rarely had close friendships with others. The same is true for the Jia family. Tong Jia's expectations for him have therefore been lowered, and instead he has supported the eighth elder brother who has more means and a brighter future. Unexpectedly, he fell into Kangxi's lure In other words, when everyone supported the eighth elder brother to be elected as the crown prince, thinking that the overall situation could be settled, Kangxi either severely reprimanded or punished these people, and the eighth elder brother was scolded even more.

Although the eighth elder brother did not lose his ambition because of this, and the people who supported him did not feel that they had lost hope, but Tong Jia had to make more decisions. If a big family wants to prosper, it must not fail to be together. The fourth elder brother had such a relationship with them, so he was their candidate. Once the Longkodo incident happened, it can be seen that he still cares about Tong Jia's mansion, and Tong Jia will make another demonstration Well, it makes sense.

Of course, Namin would not refuse this, otherwise she would not have maintained a good relationship with the imperial concubine, but she would not really be intimate with Tong Jia from now on, that would only arouse Kangxi's suspicion, After all, the noble concubine is not Empress Xiaoyi, if Empress Xiaoyi is still alive, it will be a different situation, but now Empress Xiaoyi is gone, the relationship with Tong Jia is to be able to communicate, but not too close.

************************************************** *********************
Because Concubine Shuhui's health is not good, Na Min has to do one thing in advance. The monthly letter from last month did not come. She guessed that she should be pregnant again. She wanted to wait for a longer time. I just asked the imperial doctor to check the pulse, and I could see it clearly at that time, but if Concubine Shuhui really died, whether it was when she entered the palace to mourn or returned home after the mourning, it would be ostentatious to ask the imperial doctor again.

"Hui Fujin," the imperial doctor said after checking the pulse was not very sure, "Looking at your pulse, it seems to be a happy pulse, but the time is too short to be fully confirmed."

"Since we can't confirm it," Namin said with a smile, "don't report to the clan's mansion, so as not to make a joke if it doesn't happen."

Although there is no report at the clan mansion, it is mandatory to write in the imperial doctor's pulse case. In this way, if something happens to Concubine Shuhui, it is unavoidable for her to enter the palace to mourn, but she should be able to get corresponding care .

And a few days later, the unfortunate news really came.Namin ordered all parts of the mansion to change the layout and clothes according to the filial system, and asked people to notify Nianshi to go to the palace to mourn. Looking around, you can rest assured.

The empress dowager was very sad for her sister's departure. Fortunately, people around her were persuading her from time to time, and she gained a lot of relief. The imperial doctor was also ready to check the pulse at any time, and recuperate immediately if she felt any discomfort, and she was often persuaded To rest, so it didn't hurt the body.The other mourners, because they had to cry from time to time, were somewhat short-sighted.

Namin's pregnancy has not been fully confirmed, and naturally there can be nothing special when standing in a row, but before and after each time she enters the palace, the imperial concubine sends an imperial doctor to check the pulse, just to be safe. Min tried to stay as comfortable as possible whenever she could rest.

"Take this, and give it to Sifujin as a back pad." Wufujin called a maid to go, pointing to the guiding pillow at his place and ordered.

"It's not that time yet," Namin smiled at Wu Fujin, "You can use it yourself."

"It's always better to be careful." Wu Fujin also smiled back.

"Give it to me." Nian saw the maid passing by, and immediately reached out to take the pillow.

"Why are you still here?" Namin looked at Nian suspiciously, "Didn't I tell you to go and rest by yourself?"

Although everyone rests in the inner hall, they are divided into several places according to their status.

"Fu Jin is not feeling well, of course I have to accompany him." Nian carefully placed the pillow on Namin's waist.

"I'm not feeling well," Namin said with a smile, "It's good to rest here and rest, I'll call you if there's anything to do."

At this moment, another court lady came over, but she was from Yonghe Palace.

Concubine De has always been dissatisfied with Namin, her daughter-in-law. Knowing that she may be pregnant, she is not happy. It can be seen that the concubine is taking care of her like this, but she feels uncomfortable in her heart. It is reported that Nian has been standing on the side of Namin. Waiting by his side, he sent a maid over.

"The master asked the servant to serve Sifujin," the maid said to Na Min, "The master said that Nian Fangfujin is weak, and I am afraid that he will not have enough energy to serve Sifujin. If Sifujin has any errands, just order the slave .”

"Xie Enie's concern," Namin stood up and listened with solemn hands, and after expressing his gratitude to Concubine De, he said to Nian, "This time it was Enie who spoke, sister Nian can just rest."

Everyone thought the matter between Namin and Nianshi was normal. First of all, no one would think that Sifujin was trying to frustrate Nianfujin. I was mourning for Concubine Shuhui. No matter how heartless a person is, he would not do such a bad thing here and now. What's more, Sifujin didn't ask Nianfujin to do anything. That's why she urged her to go to rest.

As for Nian Fujin, not long after she joined the royal family, it was normal for her to feel uneasy when she encountered such a thing for the first time, but Pian Fujin suspected that she had gold. Those who accompany by the side have to bear the responsibility, so it is reasonable to wait by the side more.

But Concubine De's sending someone over made the scene a bit awkward. Everyone didn't know whether she was blaming Sifujin for bullying the delicate Nianbian Fujin, or whether she was blaming Nianbian for bullying her. Fujin didn't take good care of Sifujin enough.

Nian's face turned red immediately, she never thought that Concubine De, who had shown her kindness to her many times, would do such a thing and put herself in such an embarrassing situation, and now she doesn't bother to study her What is the intention, no matter what, I have to admit my mistake.

So Nian immediately put on an ashamed look, "I'm useless, I didn't take good care of Fu Jin, I was so tired that Concubine De was worried, so I sent someone else."

"It's okay, you go and rest, I don't have anyone to take care of me right now, I just want to close my eyes and rest my mind." Namin also failed to guess what Concubine De was thinking, but with her short-sightedness and eyesight, she didn't think much of it. The far-reaching thought, if you look at it for a while, you should probably understand it. As for the Nian Shi in front of you, he hurriedly dismissed the matter, and the time to mourn is coming. If you don't hurry up, you won't have much time to rest.

After Concubine Shuhui's funeral, Kangxi also rushed back. Without doing anything else, he went directly to the empress dowager's palace to visit. Seeing that the aunt's body was indeed as healthy as the imperial doctor said, he felt relieved. He also expressed his appreciation for the concubine's comprehensive handling of affairs. The fourth elder brother came back and heard that Namin might be pregnant again, so he was naturally happy. It made him a little uneasy, now that the recuperation is over and Fu Jin is pregnant, his mood is relieved.

It's just that God can't see that the two emperors live too leisurely. The state mourning period for Concubine Shuhui is not over yet, and things happen again.
