The sixth day of March in the thirty-sixth year of Kangxi period.
The long-prepared Qianqiu Festival feast has finally arrived. Wen Xi, the birthday girl, also got up early in the morning, and was served by the palace maids. She put on the imperial concubine's auspicious clothes, combed her wings, and had her hair covered with pearls. She was dressed in ten
It's heavy, but fortunately it's a cool spring day and I won't feel stuffy.
Before the Qianqiu Banquet even started, Yu Ludai led Shu Yierha, Xiao Pomegranate led Xiao Pitao, and the chubby Tenth Prince came to congratulate him on his birthday. The three sons and two daughters all knelt down and saluted, "Son (daughter)"
) Congratulations to E Niang for her thousand years of life and eternal blessings!"
"You guys are here early today!" Wen Ru called with a smile on her face.
The Thousand Autumn Festival is not an easy event. According to the procedure, you get up in the morning to dress up, and first go to Cining Palace to pay greetings to the Empress Dowager. But today these little guys came quite early. Kangxi went to the morning court and has not yet left the court.
Wen Xi had to wait until Kangxi came down to court, and Kangxi would personally accompany him to pay his respects to the Queen Mother.
"My son has a birthday gift and I want to give it to E Niang in advance! So I have to come here early." Xiao Pomegranate, wearing the elder brother's auspicious suit, asked Xiao Chuanzi, the personal eunuch, to bring a red brocade box to him. "E Niang, let's take a look first and see if it fits.
Mind?"
There was a look of suspicion on Wen Xi's face, so she opened the brocade box herself. Lying inside was a fine white jade Guanyin. The corner of Wen Xi's mouth suddenly twitched! The son gave his mother a Guanyin as a gift...
.What on earth does this mean?!
Little Pomegranate smiled and said: "My son really hopes to have another younger brother!"
Xiao Mi Tao also agreed: "My son also wants a younger brother, and now everyone is older than me..." She held her mouth and fiddled with her nine fingers. "My son has... fourteen older brothers! So!
I want a younger brother!"
The gentle girl chuckled twice without a smile. If someone else had given this thing, she would have accepted it with just a few polite words. But the two sons jointly gave it to Guanyin. What kind of thing is this! In order not to happen again.
, Wen Xi has put a lot of thought into it, but fortunately, Kangxi has grown older in recent years, and her stallion ability is no longer very strong (...are you sure??). Wen Xi is already a thirty-year-old woman, and she has no plans to have another child.
It's already not easy to take care of these little brats. If there's another one... she'll want to hit the wall!
"Who wants a younger brother?" Kangxi strode in, and he was used to not calling anyone to inform him.
"Wish you the best, Emperor Ama!" The five children saluted together. Little Pomegranate replied: "Huang Ama, my son and my seventeenth brother wanted a younger brother, so I gave Eniang a Guanyin to give birth to my son."
Kangxi looked majestic and nodded. He uttered two words with great satisfaction: "Not bad!"
Not bad for your size!!! Wen Xi cursed inwardly.
Kangxi immediately smiled and said, "Yinlu has grown up and has become more filial."
Her gentle eyes can't wait to pop out. Does filial piety mean that you want your mother to be a professional pregnant woman?!
"I don't have much to do in the previous court today, so I can spare some time to celebrate the Qianqiu Festival for you!" Kangxi looked like he had just returned from going to court in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. There was no need to change his clothes, and he happened to be accompanying Wen Xi.
Let's go to Cining Palace to say hello.
As the emperor, Kangxi also had to go to greet the Queen Mother every now and then, but the time to greet the concubines was usually staggered. The Queen Mother was also talkative and rarely allowed the concubines to make long speeches, so she could not wait for Kangxi to come to greet her. Today
It did satisfy a lot of people. But after all, I went a little late because I had told the Queen Mother before, so it wasn't considered rude.
The Queen Mother is the aunt of Kangxi, and she has to kneel down and bow down when greeting her. The Queen Mother is in a little better spirits today. She seems to be in a good mood, also because Na Mu became Concubine Xuan. The Queen Mother has always thought about the beauty of gentleness, so she is very happy.
Kindly, like the old lady next door, she said, "Get up quickly! The imperial concubine is the birthday girl today, so the Ai family will also be blessed!"
Wen Xi smiled and flattered her: "The Queen Mother is the most blessed person, it's my concubine who should be the one to take advantage of the Queen Mother's luck!"
The Queen Mother smiled heartily, half-reflecting: "Emperor, look, this child's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter!"
She is a thirty-year-old woman, but she is still called a child. She is also very gentle and speechless, but there is nothing that can be done. Who is calling the Queen Mother? How old is she?
Kangxi also smiled and said: "This is all because of the emperor's favor!" Today is a happy day, so he can speak more freely.
After greeting him, he introduced the concubines into the palace. Wen Xi looked at it and saw that in addition to the old concubine Hui Yirong, who was the fourth concubine, there was also the newly consecrated concubine Xuan, but her face was a little not so good. Wen Xi also heard about it, and she fell ill after being conferred.
I fell down, but I have only gotten better in the past few days. The five concubines are in the front, followed by the five concubines: Shen concubine Hesheli, Tong concubine Tongjia, Ding concubine Wanliuha, Mi concubine Wang, and Liang concubine Wei.
clan, ten people in total.
"I would like to express my regards to the Queen Mother, and please express my regards to the Emperor!"
After saying goodbye, he congratulated Wen Xi: "Congratulations to the imperial concubine on her eternal happiness!"
Wen Xi nodded slightly, with a proper smile on her face: "Sisters, you are welcome." Although those above the concubine position, except Tong Concubine and Mi Concubine, are all older than Wen Xi, but the position is there.
It's natural to call her sister.
The Thousand Autumn Festival was originally going to be held in the Taiji Hall, but it was only at Wen Xi's request that it be held in her own palace. After receiving a lot of rewards from the Queen Mother, Wen Xi returned to the palace with a lot of rewards.
Next, the imperial eunuch Li Quan read out the list of Kangxi's rewards, cherishing antiques, gold, jade and jewelry, which were countless. After hearing so many good things being recorded, Wen Xi felt that it was worth wearing such a heavy outfit.
Little calculations were going on in my mind, thinking that I could add more dowry to my daughter. Yu Ludai was not young anymore, the four princesses were already nineteen years old, and Kangxi had already planned to enthrone him after Wen Xi Qianqiu.
The fourth princess was granted a marriage. Then it was the turn of the fifth princess and the sixth princess. However, according to the previous rules, the princess would not marry too early, and usually would not marry until she was ten** years old. Wenxue still had several years to live.
Can be prepared.
After the reward was given, the prince and princess knelt down to congratulate them on their birthdays, which reminded Wen Xi of the Qianqiu Festival held by the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang back then. Although it was not as grand as before, the process was similar.
Once you reach the status of imperial concubine, you are eligible to be worshiped by Prince Fujin and his concubines below. The etiquette is a bit complicated. What's more important is that Wen Xi received several looks of envy or jealousy.
After the etiquette is completed, everyone can take their seats according to their status.
Kangxi had a look of satisfaction on his face and said, "Ling Pu did a good job and deserves a reward!"
Wen Xi was a little reserved and whispered: "It's too extravagant."
Kangxi raised the red gold Kowloon cup and touched it lightly with the warm cup with five phoenixes. It made a clear sound of metal clashing, "It's rare to live a long life! Now that we have tied with Galdan, it's time to celebrate."
That’s it.”
Wen Xi sat for most of the day, her neck was sore, and she said with a smile: "I will make a lot of money today." Not to mention the rewards from Kangxi, there were concubines, princes, princesses, Fujin, Gege (Heshuo Gege, etc.) present.
Duoluogege, etc.), the gifts from the married women can fill half of the Chengqian Palace.
"I think they are just ordinary gold and jade treasures!" Kangxi drank half a glass of pear blossom white, and suddenly his tone was a little warm, "I still think Yinlu's gift is the best!"
The corner of Wen Xi's mouth twitched, and she could only say: "I am already thirty years old!" She hinted to Kangxi that my mother was getting old, and she no longer wanted to give birth, and she would not be able to give birth.
Kangxi lowered his voice and said: "Aren't you a cultivator? You naturally live longer than ordinary people. Let me see, you are not much different from when you first entered the palace!"
Kangxi's obsession with his son was beyond Wen Ru's imagination, so he had to divert his attention, pointed at the table where the fourth brother was sitting, and said with a smile: "Looking at Si Fujin's pointed belly, I am afraid that there is a chance that he will be a boy."
."
Kangxi followed his warm hands, glanced twice, nodded and said: "The fourth child is already twenty years old, and it's time to have a child. I heard that he has a concubine who is also pregnant?"
Wen Xi made a sound and said: "It was during the draft that the emperor asked his concubines to choose the beautiful girl for the fourth elder brother. She was the daughter of a prefect of the Han Army Banner, Li. She gave birth to the first big princess in the fourth elder brother's house."
Kangxi suddenly realized it and couldn't help laughing: "There is indeed such a person! The person you picked is naturally good!"
Wen Xi just laughed and said, "Actually, Si Fujin picked it himself, saying it looks good for fertility."
"The fourth family member is very virtuous." This daughter-in-law was naturally virtuous, but when Kangxi thought about Yinsu's upcoming marriage to Fujin, he suddenly felt that he had wronged his son, so he gave the two most beautiful ones as compensation before.
At the eighth elder brother's table, he was alone today, and there was no concubine to wait on him. However, at the ninth elder brother's table, there were two beautiful concubines serving wine. Kangxi immediately frowned in displeasure.
.
Wenxi looked at where Kangxi was looking. The eighth prince was alone. The other princes were all Zhu Huancuirao, many of whom had wives and concubines. He was alone, with only a few young eunuchs to serve him, not even a maid.
Wen Xi sighed and said: "I heard that the two concubines of Eighth Prince were beaten by Guo Luoluo before. They must not be able to come out." They were also hit in the face, so naturally they were too embarrassed to go out.
.
Kangxi took a breath in his chest. Naturally, he wouldn't think it was his son's fault, he would just think Guo Luoluohua was too presumptuous. But as an emperor and a father-in-law, why should he teach his daughter-in-law a lesson?
It was too degrading, so he said: "After a while, there will be a small selection. You pick two good-looking and good-natured ones and reward them to me!"
Kangxi had only one way to deal with his daughter-in-law, to reward his son with beauties!
Wen Xi shrugged her brows and hummed. There was still some time for the small election, and it would be after the eighth prince's wedding. Wen Xi was looking forward to the performance of the jealous eighth fortune Jin, so that there would be another good show.
Then he scanned the seventh elder brother's place, and only brought Wanjing and Nuan'er Gege. The couple were in harmony, and the family of three was harmonious. The fifth elder brother, in addition to his direct descendant Fujin, also brought several concubines. The fourth elder brother only had four
Sitting with Fujin, standing behind Si Fujin... Damn! Why is Ruyan again!! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is mine.
