Chapter 24: Dai Jia's Joy and Tong Jia's Disgrace

In the afternoon of this day, Wen Xi had just finished making the snacks that were to be sent to the Yangxin Hall and sent Wu Lu and Song'er to deliver them. The concubine Dai Jia brought the seventh elder brother over to express her gratitude.

After saluting, Wen Xi hurriedly asked someone to move the embroidery pier for Dai Jia, and said: "I should send someone to tell you that you don't have to come to thank me. The weather outside is still a bit hot, and it won't be good if you expose Brother Seventh to the sun."

."

Dai Jia actually has a good appearance. She has a very lucky face in this era. She has rosy skin, a full forehead, willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes. Her face is slightly rounded, but her body is slightly thinner. She must have suffered a loss after giving birth to her seventh brother.

. Dai Jiashi spoke slowly, giving off a very gentle feeling, "I should have come to thank you a long time ago, but there was a little wind yesterday, and I have a headache and discomfort. I am afraid that I will bring illness to your Majesty."

"I see that Brother Seventh's face is a little red, but is he too hot? I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to hold him. Why don't you put him on the soft couch in my palace's Bisha cabinet and let the nurse fan him at the same time?" Wen Wen said.

Xi looked at the seventh elder brother who was already wearing the Yunluo soft satin she had given him that day. It was a goose yellow dress with fine embroidery. The blue gauze cabinet was on the west side, with two layers of gauze tents and one layer of rain-stained azure curtains.

The tents are separated by each other, but today only a layer of gold silk and soft gauze dragon tent has fallen. Sitting in the main hall, you can see what's going on inside by leaning slightly.

Dai Jia agreed and handed the child over to the wet nurse. It was cool in the blue gauze cupboard, and there was an ivory mat on the soft couch. The seventh prince seemed to be sleeping soundly. The wet nurse fanned the baby gently, and the green orchid came from the carvings.

He took out a thin quilt from the standing cabinet carved with dragons and phoenixes and covered the seventh elder brother.

Wen Xi asked her subordinates to bring fresh cakes and tasted them with Dai Jia. Dai Jia was not a talkative person and only said a few words from time to time. But whenever she mentioned the seventh elder brother, Wen Xi could see that Dai Jia was not a talkative person.

Jiashi's eyes are bright.

Today, Dai Jia wore a 70% new deerskin-colored dress embroidered with clusters of blessings and longevity patterns. She looked older than her actual age. The material of the dress was only second-class palace satin. She only had two hairpins on her head because she was going out.

The bright silk flowers and red coral plum blossom hairpin are much lighter than ordinary concubines. With Dai Jia's demeanor and appearance, she would look much better wearing some bright clothes. For a woman in her early twenties, if she can dress herself up, she will definitely look better.

A beauty.

We chatted for more than half an hour, when suddenly a cry was heard from inside. Dai Jia suddenly ran in without caring about etiquette.

The wet nurse said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Seven has peed."

When Dai Jiashi saw Wen Xi and walked in, her son had wet the imperial concubine's soft couch. It was really rude and shameful. If she had known, she would have left Yinyou in Xianfu Palace.

Wen Xi said: "You should have brought a spare diaper, right? The seventh elder brother is always uncomfortable when he is so wet." Looking at the seventh elder brother who was waving and kicking his legs in protest, Wen Xi reminded him casually.

Seeing that Wen Xi was not angry, Dai Jiashi breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the seventh brother quickly and skillfully. As expected, there was a pool of wet boy urine on the moon-white brocade quilt with flowers and branches spread on the soft couch.

. Dai Jiashi seemed to be used to changing her son's diapers, so she put on dry and soft cotton cloth after three times. During this period, Wen Xi saw the twisted left foot of the seventh elder brother.

It was wrapped with thick gauze and corrected with bamboo pieces, but it can still be seen that it is in sharp contrast with the other white and tender chubby foot.

Dai Jiashi seemed to see the warm color stagnating on the seventh elder brother's foot, and couldn't help but feel sad for her son, "This is a folk method, combined with the ointment prepared by the imperial doctor. I heard that if it is corrected well,

, I will be able to walk without any problems when I grow up.”

Wen Xi knew that it was not polite to keep staring at her son's deformed feet, so she said: "I have also heard of this method, but it is said that it is better to use fine silk from Hangzhou. The fine silk is soft and tough and will not harm the baby.

Delicate skin.”

Dai Jiashi suddenly showed a look of confusion and embarrassment.

Wen Xi immediately smiled and said, "I just heard it from hearsay."

But the wet nurse couldn't help but said: "My dear concubine, it's not that my wife doesn't believe you, but the Hangzhou fine silk is of high quality and is more precious than ordinary palace satin. It is second only to Yunluo soft satin, but it is tougher than soft satin. It is used for

Correcting the shape of the feet is of course the best thing! However, apart from sending the two palaces, there is not much left for Hangzhou Xiling who enters the palace every year."

It seems so... Wen Xi remembered that she only had one in the palace. She had asked someone to make a mattress a few days ago, and there were only some rags left. She turned to Malang Ashi and said, "I remember my

There seems to be Hangzhou Xiling in the dowry?"

Malang Ashi thought for a while and said: "Yes, but it is not the most fashionable color. It is plain silk, not as good as colorful silk. The colorful silk is bright and beautiful. I never knew where to use it, so I kept it.

"

"We've packed up as many as we can and will send them to Changchun Palace later." Wen Xi said.

Dai Jiashi hurriedly declined and said: "I just received the Yunluo soft satin from the empress a few days ago, how can I ask for the dowry things from the empress?" Hangxi silk is usually used to make close-fitting clothes, who would be willing to use it to wrap feet?

Wen Xi smiled brightly and said: "I am the most impatient of being polite to others. Just keep it, you can't let those fine silks stay in my warehouse and grow moldy and hairy, right?"

Dai Jia couldn't help but feel moved, "Thank you very much for your love, concubine... on behalf of the seventh elder brother, thank you for your care!"

Seeing that she was about to kneel down, Wen Xi hurriedly helped her, "It's just a little effort. Isn't it natural to use things where they should be used?"

"I have often heard from Sister Shen that my empress is generous and kind, and I am convinced after seeing her today!"

Wen Xi covered her mouth and said: "Concubine Shen only says this and scolds that in front of me. She is not good at talking in front of me, but she is very virtuous in the back!"

Mrs. Dai Jia also smiled gently, as if she was very familiar with Shen Bin, "Sister Shen Bin has always been a talkative, often offending people, that is, the empress can accept her."

"Okay," Wen Ru said with a bright smile, "we are getting more and more excited as we smell the smell of children's urine all over the house!"

Dai Jia suddenly thought of the puddle of boy's urine on the soft couch, "I really feel sorry for you..."

"It's nothing, just let the people below clean it up!" Wen Xi took the opportunity to poke the white and tender face of the "culprit" who was smiling "toothlessly" with her index finger, and the seventh prince chuckled.

When Dai Jia left, because there were eleven silk silks collected from the warehouse, Ma Lang A had no choice but to ask four or five young eunuchs to move with her to Changchun Palace. Dai Jia was extremely kind.

Thanks, when he got excited, he lost his usual peaceful look. Fortunately, the little guy didn't pee in his bed, otherwise there would be no place to sleep when Kangxi came.

As soon as Dai Jia left, Wu Lu and Song'er came back from Yangxin Hall.

"Master, you don't know that Concubine Tong has lost a lot of face today!" When Song'er came back, it was as if she had opened up her chat box.

"What's wrong with Concubine Tong?" Wen Xi couldn't help but asked curiously.

Song'er laughed and said: "My servant and Aunt Wu went to the Yangxin Hall to deliver snacks. They happened to meet Concubine Tong who was also delivering snacks but was blocked by Eunuch Liang outside the Yangxin Palace."

Wu Lushi and Song'er originally just wanted to send snacks back early and did not want to have a dispute with Tong Jiashi. Maybe Tong Jiashi saw two slaves delivering things, but Liang Jiugong politely passed them in. The snacks she sent

But he said that he could only make a decision after consulting Kangxi.

When Tong Jia saw that both Wu Lu and Song'er were from Chengqian Palace, she couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Why didn't your master come to deliver it in person, but just sent a servant here? But he didn't take the emperor seriously?"

"

Wu Lu was scolded, but her expression remained unchanged. After bowing respectfully, she said: "Going back to the imperial concubine, my concubine said that the important area of ​​Yangxin Palace is within the scope of the former dynasty. Once she introduces her, the ladies of the palace should avoid suspicion.

The ancestral system prohibits concubines from intervening in politics, and the empress said that one should be careful of the melons and plums in the fields!"

She spoke respectfully, and couldn't fault her at all. It also showed that Concubine Tong was not here. Concubine Tong's face immediately turned red and purple. She wanted to have an attack but did not dare to act recklessly in the Yangxin Hall. Her face changed color several times, but she finally pressed the button.

If there is no attack, "After delivering the things, if you don't leave quickly, what will it look like to stay outside the Yangxin Hall?"

At this time, Song'er opened her clear voice and said: "My mother-in-law said that I will take the food box back after the emperor has finished eating. In case there is no food box to deliver tomorrow."

What she said was clearly stating the facts, but Concubine Tong thought that Chengqian Palace could come to deliver snacks every day, so she saw the opportunity to ridicule her!

At this time, Liang Jiugong came out with a food box and replied: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, the Emperor is full. Please come back."

Liang Jiugong's words just added fuel to the fire. Concubine Tong did not give him any face on the spot and reprimanded him directly: "Don't talk nonsense like you bitch! Such a small food box only has two or three snacks. The emperor has never eaten more than three."

, how can it be enough to eat just a few mouthfuls?!"

Liang Jiugong straightened up, and it was the first time he had been scolded as a dog slave in front of so many people. If the emperor and the two palaces had said this, he would have no choice but to accept it. He would not accept what Concubine Tong said, and she would say it coldly.

After a while, she lost her previous politeness and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, you don't know something. Concubine Wen Xi knows that the emperor has a rule of not eating more than three meals a day, so she ingeniously made each piece of pastry very big! A piece of fish cake is as big as a fist.

Big, a piece of jujube cake is bigger than an inkstone. The emperor only ate four pieces today and he is already very full! If you don’t believe it, take a look -" Liang Jiugong opened the food box, and there was still a piece of bright color left in it.

The yellow fish cake was bigger than a fist, and the other stack of jujube cakes only had some brownish-red dregs left.

All the eunuchs and guards present couldn't help but laugh out loud. Concubine Tong's face turned green, she threw up her sleeves and ran away, stepping on the pebbles outside the palace, staggering and almost falling down.

Suddenly, unprecedented laughter erupted outside the Yangxin Hall. It was so festive!
