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.
After spring this year, Shu Shu was in confinement again, and no one cared about tidying up the garden. The garden here was not tidied very much. Except for a few clumps of bamboo, the most planted ones were roses.
Now Da Ge Ge's eyes have begun to love looking at people, and he also likes bright colors. Mrs. Bo cuts rose flowers every morning and ties them to the ropes of Da Ge Ge's carriage.
Seeing the couple coming over, Mrs. Bo stood up and asked in surprise: "Why do you get up so early?"
Even if you enter the palace, it is too early.
Shu Shu took two steps forward, grabbed Mrs. Bo's arm, and said, "Come and tie the colorful ropes for Ah Mou and Da Gege."
Mrs. Bo quickly said: "I don't want to tie it, just tie it for the children."
Shu Shu stretched out her wrist and said, "I've tied it too, I've tied it all..."
With that said, she ignored Mrs. Bo's refusal and tied the colorful thread around Mrs. Bo's wrist.
"It's good for a family to be neat and tidy, but it's just too out of place..." Shu Shu said.
Mrs. Bo had no way to deal with her, so she glanced at the colorful rope on her wrist.
It’s true that the longer we live, the smaller we become.
After Shu Shu and Brother Jiu tied the colorful rope on Da Gege, they went back to the main courtyard.
Shu Shu also needs to prepare for entering the palace.
The previous festival gifts had already been delivered to the palace.
But since it was a festival after all, Shu Shu asked Walnut and Xiaosong to pack a lot of purses, which contained small gold and silver coins that looked like rice dumplings, ready to be used as rewards.
What I had for breakfast were rice dumplings, Shu Shu’s favorite fresh meat rice dumplings and fresh meat salted egg yolk rice dumplings. The large piece of pork belly in the middle was marinated with soy sauce and Sichuan pepper powder. It was very delicious, and the glutinous rice was also soaked in oil.
.
In addition to the salty rice dumplings, Shu Shu also ate a red date rice dumpling dipped in sugar.
Shu Shu ate two and a half of the rice dumplings, which were the size of an adult's fist. As for the smaller half, they were two meat rice dumplings, and she cut a corner of each for Brother Nine to satisfy his craving.
Brother Jiu looked confused after eating, and said: "People from the south are so strange, they actually eat salty rice dumplings, including Yuanxiao and rice dumplings. The sticky rice dumplings are just like salty mouth drying..."
Shu Shu looked at him and said, "But some of the yellow rice porridge we eat is salty, and that one is also sticky."
This is also a way of eating that has been passed down from outside the country. Boil old yellow rice into thick porridge, put it into a bowl, add pork and pickles while it is still hot, stir it together and eat it, and you will have a bowl of lard porridge.
Even when dipping yellow rice dumplings, they are also dipped in lard.
Brother Jiu said: "Anyway, it's weird. I always feel that it's not salty when it's supposed to be salty, and it's not sweet when it's supposed to be sweet. I always get salty cakes, and when it's time to stir-fry, I even put sugar in it..."
It was getting late, Shu Shu had breakfast, fixed her makeup in the mirror, and was ready to set off.
Today she brought half a piece of gold with five pink coral gourds on it.
Along with the danzi, there is also a small coral gourd the size of a fingernail.
By the time the couple left the prince's residence, Shifujin and his wife were already there.
The two of them looked in the direction of Babeizi's Mansion, not knowing what to say.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu followed their gaze and saw that the carriage from Babeizi Mansion had already moved ahead and set off towards the palace.
Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu and said: "That's fine. There is no need to go in and out together. You and your siblings will wait for half a cup of tea before leaving..."
Shu Shu nodded, no opinion...
