The Woman Behind Kangxi: The Biography of Virtuous Concubine

Chapter 28
As he spoke, he took off an emerald green jade bracelet and stuffed it into Ningde's hand. Ningde lowered his head and saw that the bracelet was extremely transparent without any color. Although Concubine Jing spoke modestly, she knew that the bracelet must be of great value .Sure enough, the Empress Dowager Hui smiled and said: "This seems to be a green jadeite bracelet filled with ice seeds. I haven't seen it much in the palace in recent years. It seems that this was a gift from the former emperor to you, Ama. I didn't expect it to change hands again. I'm back in this palace. Girl De, please thank Concubine Jing soon."

Ning Dechu heard that it was a sacred object and wanted to decline, but when he saw what the Empress Dowager Hui said, he thought about it and quickly thanked him with a smile.There was a harmonious atmosphere above the main hall. Although there were secretly those who were jealous of Ningde, those who were unwilling, and those who were jealous, they did not dare to reveal it. Seeing that Ningde suddenly won the favor of the two empress dowagers, even Concubine Jing who was in charge of the sixth palace They also intend to show their goodwill, and they can't help but also compete to show their intimacy.

Concubine Duan seemed to inadvertently ask: "Sister, we saw you chatting so enthusiastically with the two empress dowagers before we came in, what are you talking about? Come on, let's have fun!"

Ning De got up and replied: "It's nothing, just learn some Buddhist knowledge like the two empress dowagers, and listen to the empress dowager's stories about Buddhist scriptures."

The Empress Dowager Hui interrupted with a smile: "Girl De, you are just a good-mouthed person. You used to stay in the nunnery. After all, your practice is better than ours. It was really good to hear you talk about Buddhist scriptures in the past. She is better than those aunts, and she is not afraid of being blamed by the Bodhisattva for lying like this today!"

Although he said "blame the blame", there was a smile all over his face, and he didn't see the slightest sign of blame. Even the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang had a slight smile on her face when she was joking.

Ningde also smiled: "This is not a lie. What Ningde said was the scriptures in the scriptures, but he just copied them. He is no worse than me. The queen mother really told her own experience. The superiority of truth."

Seeing the mention of Buddhism, the Empress Dowagers of the two palaces smiled and nodded repeatedly, but the rest of the people were at a loss, not knowing why.

While chatting, Qin Wuyong suddenly trotted up and knelt down and said, "My lord, the young master Rong outside the palace has come to pay his respects."

Hearing these words, the hall suddenly felt agitated, and even the Empress Dowager Hui frowned and said, "She just had a miscarriage, why don't you just stay here?"

It was Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang who said solemnly, "Since she is here, let her come in."

Qin Wuyong said: "Cha!" and ran out.

Seeing the reaction of the crowd, Ning De couldn't help being curious for a moment, wondering which master came to provoke the reaction of the crowd?When I heard the word "miscarriage", I suddenly remembered that it was the Ma Jia family who was hailed as an unknown person, but was extremely favored by the emperor, and gave birth to four sons and one daughter. But only one daughter survived. .

PS: I made two mistakes earlier: 1. The Concubine Shu, Tong Jia, is generally called Concubine Tong instead of the word "Shu" I picked from her Xuanhao, so I hereby explain In the future, I will follow the convention and call her Concubine Tong.

2. I lost a very important concubine in the early days of Kangxi: Concubine Rong Ma Jiashi. Now I have added her in the introduction of the previous chapters, and she will continue to appear in the future.
