In Yonghe Palace, Concubine De is also meeting her natal daughter Juan. Today, those entering the palace are her sister-in-law, Mrs. Wuya, and her concubine, Mrs. Guogong.

"It is a great joy for the whole family to be carried into Shangsanqi..."

Mrs. Wu Ya said.

The Wuya family is different from ordinary coats. Their ancestors have military exploits.

My great-grandfather was the Bao Yi of Emperor Taizu, and my grandfather was the first general manager of the imperial kitchen in Shengjing. Later he went to the battlefield, accumulated a lot of military merits, was knighted, and was promoted to the first-level minister of the interior. He should have carried the bag.

If you wear clothes, the result is that you will lose your title due to circumstances.

The Wuya family fell into silence. Concubine De's father was only a military officer and military officer during his lifetime. When his younger brother Bai Qi came, his rank was even lower, and he was a sixth-grade military academy officer.

Taking out the wrapping has been the obsession of the Wuya family for generations.

Concubine De frowned and said, "What's so gratifying? It's not like the Guo Luoluo family did and gave it to Zuo Ling alone..."

Their branch has no official position in Baoyi, and the left collar belongs to De Fei's uncle's branch.

Mrs. Wuya didn't know what to say.

The Duke's wife came to the rescue and said: "When we get to Shangsanqi, it sounds respectable in the future. It is better than being suppressed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. We can still help each other with our master."

Concubine De glanced at her concubine and said: "When you go back today, don't hand over the sign to the palace. Even if you do, I won't see you."

The Duke's wife's face turned red and she said, "Sister..."

There is a ten-year age difference between the two sisters. When Concubine De entered the palace, the concubine was just old enough to remember.

To say that sisters have deep love is a stretch.

Concubine De said with a cold face: "What do you think this palace is? How dare you interfere with my brother's affairs? You have been dishonest at home for a few years, and you are trying to get this matter out of the way, because you are afraid that the emperor will not remember it?"

The Duke's wife said uneasily: "How long has it been..."

Concubine De's eyes were filled with gloom as she looked at the Duke's wife.

The emperor now seems to have given grace and lifted the Wuya family out of the palace, but the eviction of the Wuya family from the imperial dining room was only last year.

Thinking further back, when the Duke's wife intervened in palace affairs, she could not have been one of the leads in the palace.

The Duke's wife looked away when she was stared at, and then she became honest. She grabbed the handkerchief and whispered softly: "You have to be punished. Jinzhu pointed out the Mongolian boy, the poor and remote Bahrain tribe!"

Concubine De frowned and said: "Don't talk about these nonsense in the future. He is the grandson of the eldest princess, the brother-in-law of Princess Rongxian, and your master's nephew."

The Duke's wife was particularly angry and said: "It's all that damn girl Zhenglan who is doing this. She took advantage of her and hid in Shengjing. I don't believe she won't come back!"

However, Concubine De was impatient to hear this. She just looked at her sister-in-law and said, "Okay, why are you fawning over the third elder brother's house?"

You know, in terms of ranking in the harem, she is ranked ahead of Concubine Rong.

She also has two princes under her knees, and the fourth prince's title is the same as that of the third prince, both of them are Baylor.

Mrs. Wu Ya said sarcastically: "At that time, I only heard that Sanbeile was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and didn't know about raising the flag. Previously, the ninth elder brother was stuck filling the vacancy, and there were many complaints in the clan. The master thought that it would not be strange to have so many people. This

Don’t give me too many gifts...”

Concubine De looked at Mrs. Wu Ya and said, "What on earth are you thinking? Now I think of following the crowd. How did you get into trouble last year when you sent the New Year's gift to Brother Ninth Brother's house?"

Mrs. Wu Ya looked embarrassed and glanced at the Duke's wife.

The Duke's wife touched her temples and said, "Who would have thought that the prince's elder brother would be so narrow-minded that he would block someone's future just because of the lack of annual gifts!"

When she was a little older, the eldest sister became a concubine, and the family life became better. After she got her hairpin, she married directly into the Duke's palace, which gave her an air of arrogance and coquettishness.

Concubine De was not happy and directly reprimanded: "That's the prince, brother, it's your turn to talk? If you continue to act like this, you won't be allowed to enter the palace in the future!"

The Duke's wife couldn't sit still anymore and hurriedly stood up and said: "Sister, I was wrong."

Concubine De said with a straight face: "Not to mention that he is the prince whom the emperor has valued highly in recent years, even if it is the young brother born by the concubine, you can't despise him! If you weren't so meddlesome, Alson Aben

It’s time to accompany the fifteenth brother!”

Arson'a is the second son of the Duke's wife. He is nine years old this year. In the 37th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, he came to the palace to see the Emperor. He was appointed by the Emperor to accompany his fifteenth elder brother. However, it turned out that the Duke's wife interfered with his brother's affairs.

matter, it was replaced.

Fortunately, the sixteenth prince was still there, and at the request of Concubine De, the emperor allowed Arsona to enter the palace again.

The Duke's wife immediately withered and said, "I know I was wrong and I don't dare to do it anymore..."

In Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Rong also met her mother-in-law's family. No one was left around her, and the windows in the second room of the main palace were also open.

Her sister-in-law was her former palace maid. She was the wife she chose for her brother, and she always looked after her.

"Mother, is there any trace over there..."

Mrs. Ma lowered her voice and said with a vibrato.

Concubine Rong glared at her and said, "Shut up! What are you worrying about? There's nothing wrong with you."

Mrs. Ma stroked her chest, but her heart was trembling wildly.

Thinking of her children and grandchildren at home, she sat up, knelt down, and prayed softly: "Empress, this is it... don't... think about the third master, think about the emperor's grandson..."

Hongqing, the eldest son of Sanbeile Mansion, is one of the batch of imperial grandsons who entered the study room later that year, and now lives in Qianxi Fourth House with the eldest brother of Zhijun Prince Mansion.

The elder brother's office here is right behind Zhongcui Palace, separated by two corridors.

During the monthly bathing break, Concubine Rong would also ask the palace attendants to take Hong Qing to Zhongcui Palace.

Concubine Rong gritted her teeth and thought of her sons who died young, especially the eldest son Chengrui.

Chengrui was born in the sixth year of Kangxi's reign. He died in the ninth year of Kangxi's reign and was already four years old.

Everyone said that the Queen’s son, Chenghu, was smart, but no one mentioned his own Chengrui.

My Chengrui is smart and pleasant, no worse than brother Chenghu.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Hesheli family cannot tolerate Cheng Rui.

If Cheng Rui were still here, he would already be thirty-four years old, and he would not have great-grandchildren.

Concubine Rong hated her so much, but she could see that her sister-in-law was frightened and had selfish motives.

She lowered her eyes and said: "Okay, it's not appropriate for a scorpion to sting, so let's do this for now..."

After hearing this, Mrs. Ma breathed a sigh of relief, collapsed on the ground, and began to cry silently...

In a blink of an eye, it’s the fifth day of May, the official day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

When she got up early in the morning, Shu Shu tied a colorful rope for Brother Jiu.

Brother Jiu also took the colorful thread and tied it on Shu Shu.

I made this up last night and keep it next to my pillow.

This is a Chinese custom. On the Dragon Boat Festival, colorful ropes should be tied to pray for blessings and good luck.

After the Eight Banners entered the customs, many festival customs began to be blended between the Manchu and Chinese, and this one was born.

The couple simply freshened up and then went back together.

The adults tied the colorful rope just to make up for the number, but the children were very serious.

It should be tied before the child wakes up. The five-colored rope is selected according to the yin and yang and the five elements. The green, white, red, black and yellow are used to cure diseases and strengthen the body, and wish the baby to grow up healthily.

In the back room, the eldest brother was lying on the bicycle, sleeping soundly.

Shu Shu tied the prepared colorful rope around the elder brother's ankle.

The little guy was completely unaware and still slept soundly.

Brother Jiu whispered: "Why don't you tie your wrists?"

Shu Shu whispered: "I'm starting to eat my hands. Biting this is not clean..."

After tying the eldest brother's ankle, the two went to tie the second brother's ankle.

Even though Shu Shufang moved lightly, the second elder brother still woke up and did not open his eyes. He kicked his little feet and drooped his mouth, looking aggrieved.

Shu Shu had no choice but to sit down next to the car, gently pat her second elder brother, and hum a lullaby in a low voice: "In September, there are foxes and in October there are wolves. In the beginning of winter, raccoon dogs have long fur. There is light snow and the land is closed and there is no way to make a living. I have to clean it up and beat the old man."

yellow……"

This was the lullaby she listened to most when she was a child, and now she naturally hums this song when coaxing her three little ones.

As she sang softly, the second elder brother's brows relaxed and he fell asleep again.

The couple came out quietly and looked at each other, both of them looking contented.

Fortunately I didn't cry!

The couple went to Ning'an Hall again.

Madam uncle is getting older, she always sleeps lightly and wakes up early.

When Shu Shu and Brother Jiu passed by, Mrs. Bo was holding scissors, leaving Ning'an Hall and cutting roses in the garden.

When we moved in last year, winter was already approaching and the vegetation was withering.
