Wen Xi ordered the dining room to prepare the favorite dishes of her two sons tonight. Mother and son haven't gotten together to have a good meal for a long time. Zhu'er couldn't help but remind her: "Master, why don't I go to the Yangxin Hall to invite you?"
Your Majesty, please come and use it together."
Thinking of Kangxi's extremely romantic days, Wen Xi became angry and said, "He will come if he likes, and he won't come if he doesn't want to come. There is no need to invite him!" Especially when she thought of how Kangxi dared to find fault with her son.
, doesn’t have a good look on her son, and Wen Xi doesn’t bother to give him a good look.
The two brothers Xiao Pomegranate and Xiao Pitao looked at each other. Xiao Pomegranate, the elder brother, spoke first: "Mom, you and Huang Ama haven't seen each other for more than three months, so it's time to talk."
Xiao Mi Tao quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, Mother, Emperor Ama will definitely stop being sulky after seeing you."
Wen Xi curled her lips, and he was very happy to be in a romantic mood. Why was he so sullen? He said: "Don't worry about him, your emperor has reached menopause!"
All four eyes blinked together, full of doubts, is this menopause?
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Kangxi finished approving the last memorial and finally put down his pen. Li Dequan then took two steps forward and cautiously reminded: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine will return to the palace at noon today."
Kangxi had a cold face, and it was even colder than the wind and snow outside in the twelfth lunar month. Li Dequan shrank his neck in fright, and said: "At this moment, the sixteenth brother and the seventeenth brother have gone to the imperial concubine's palace.
If the emperor ascends the throne, the family will surely be able to talk about their family relationship together."
Kangxi's face seemed to be getting colder and colder, so cold that water dripped from his face. "Has Chengqian Palace sent someone to invite me?"
Li Dequan bowed his body. He did not dare to tell the truth at this moment, so he could only bow hard to reduce his sense of presence.
"Huh!" Kangxi put the last memorial down on the imperial case and said: "Jianjing Shifang!"
When Kangxi spoke, the eunuchs in the Jingsi Room hurriedly came with green-headed cards. Now that there are many concubines in the harem, green-headed cards cannot be put up every day, and those who have taken the concubine's position naturally. If they are not punished for pulling green-headed cards, they will
If there is no physical discomfort, menstruation is coming, etc., it will definitely be brought up. The remaining noble people are always there. It depends on their own means to agree.
Among them, the green-headed sign "Emperor's Imperial Concubine Niu Hulu" was placed in the most conspicuous position under Kangxi's nose, but Kangxi glanced at it and turned over the sign "Misconcubine Wang" in the corner.
Li Dequan was about to remind him. When he saw Kangxi's sinister gaze, he immediately stopped talking nonsense and said hurriedly: "I will go to Yonghe Palace now and let the concubine prepare to sleep with me!"
There are two ways for an emperor to marry a concubine. The first method is to turn over the cards according to the process. Then ask the concubine to be clean and send her to his bed. The second method is to marry the concubine. That is, the emperor goes there in person. The latter requires the lowest status.
The concubine’s position must be the lord of the first palace.
In the evening, after having dinner with her son and daughter, Wen Xi asked someone to send the two brothers back. It gets dark early in winter, but Wen Xi doesn't feel sleepy, because at this time, she soaks in the hot springs in the palace for a long time before going to bed.
Now that I have nothing to do, I just eat melon seeds and chat with my daughter.
Yuludai had eaten too many melon seeds and had a dry mouth. He poured himself a cup of peanut cheese. He sneered and said: "Tong Bin has a good idea. My daughter has heard about it. The lama of Yueqian Baohua Hall said that if
People who are close to her by blood sincerely pray for the Queen Mother, and she will be healthy. Now Shu Lu has no intention of coming back! It was E Niang’s idea that was the best!"
"Master, your Majesty turned over the concubine's sign today." Wen Xi was feeling proud when Zhu'er poured cold water on her head.
Wen Xi stiffened for a moment, then sneered, and said with half-squinted eyes: "When I'm not around, my concubine seems to be very pampered, right?" It should be said that my concubine has always been a little doted on, but recently
It's just that he was favored even more, and then there was He Changzai from Jingren Palace.
Yu Ludai pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "The villain has succeeded! It wasn't because she was flattering her mother that she got the concubine position. Otherwise, with her kind of background, she would never have been able to get a concubine in this life! Now she has succeeded.
, I’m afraid it will be publicized!”
Wen Xi glared at Yu Ludai, "You can just say this in front of E Niang, but you have to watch your mouth when you go out!"
Yu Ludai stuck out his tongue, like a child, "I know, Mother, I'm not an idiot!" Then he pinched a candied fruit and ate it, and said, "My daughter just looks down on her charming look!
If she doesn't look exactly like E Niang, Huang Ama would be able to like her!" Then he smiled ambiguously: "If E Niang is willing to take action now, she will definitely be able to snatch Huang Ama out of her bed!"
Wen Xi gave Yu Ludai a hard look. She didn't want to do something like drinking a dozen cans of old vinegar! She waved Yu Ludai away. It was getting late anyway, so it was time to call her.
Go back to the side hall to sleep! She is already a fifteen-year-old girl. Wenxi has been eaten up by Kangxi at this age. How can Yuludai be so happy?
When I got up the next day, Zhu'er was still waiting for Wen Xi to wash her hands. Today I had to pay her respects to the Queen Mother. It was the New Year again, so it was time to wear clothes with a happy color. Zhu'er chose a silver-red flag dress and combed her hair.
, with a whole set of green headdresses, Wen Xi now likes green hair more and more. It is not as dazzling as the gold one, so nouveau riche. Today’s set of green headdress is also in peony pattern, with a golden headpiece in the middle.
The phoenix of pearls was still luxurious. It was cold in winter, so I put on a pearl-embedded forehead smear, put on my cloisonné armor, and went to pay my respects to the Queen Mother.
When winter came, Concubine Xuan fell ill and was unable to come. However, everyone else arrived.
After saluting, the Queen Mother kindly took the gentle hand and said, "My child, your health is better."
Wen Xi smiled lightly and said: "I have been recuperating in the palace for a few days, and I am already feeling better." - When I first went to the palace, it was on the pretext of recuperating from physical discomfort, so I asked such a programmed question. After that,
Wen Xi asked Zhu'er to present the gift to the Queen Mother, "This is the Thousand-Hand Guanyin that I asked the abbot of Miaoyin Temple to personally bless and consecrate. I also ask the Queen Mother not to dislike my foolishness."
This Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara is made entirely of red gold, with a majestic appearance and brilliant golden light. There is a ruby as big as a goose egg between the Bodhisattva's eyebrows. It is said to be a Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara, but in fact it only has eighteen hands. The Bodhisattva sits on a lotus
The person above had a kind face, as if he could save the world. The Queen Mother believed in Buddhism, so she accepted it happily.
Over the years, Wen Xi has become accustomed to being generous. Anyway, she has a hen that lays golden eggs in her pocket. The properties outside the palace bring a lot of money to the palace every year. In addition to some for daily use, some are given out through favors. Wen Xi also has
There is a lot of balance, and I have been praising it a lot. Naturally, I should not be stingy with money when giving things to the Queen Mother. Shortly after Wen Xi went to the palace, she asked people to find the most skilled goldsmith outside the palace, not counting handicrafts.
Fei, one Guanyin statue is made of more than 400 taels of gold, not to mention the pigeon blood ruby which is as red as blood and of excellent color. The Queen Mother is used to seeing wealth and wealth, so there is nothing unusual about it, but she also asked: "Actually,
There is no need to spend so much money, as long as you are willing."
Tong Binhu interjected: "The Queen Mother is absolutely right. Whether you have the intention or not depends on how many scriptures you copy and how many Buddhist scriptures you recite, not how much gold and silver you spend!"
Listening to Tong Bin's critical words, Wen Xi didn't want to be polite to her, so she directly said sarcastically: "It seems that Tong Bin has copied a lot of Buddhist scriptures, why don't you show me too?!"
Tong Bin smiled slightly and stroked the swaying pearl pendant on the side of her ear. It was a pearl pendant hanging from the big wings on her head. Today, Tong Bin deliberately dressed in a particularly bright and eye-catching dress, wearing a pomegranate red and golden butterfly pierced peony.
The clothes were covered with a blue-purple double-breasted waistcoat trimmed with firefox fur. Wen Xi could tell that the material of the waistcoat was gold-woven satin, and the buttons were also made of Hunyuan pearls. Tong Bin held a gold filigree enamel in her hand.
A small hand stove with colorful blessing patterns, and a set of exquisite gold-painted enamel armor on her hands. The lotus pattern on the armor is particularly exquisite and delicate. There is a deep meaning in her smile: "Although I worship the Buddha, I am not as good as the eight."
The princess is so attentive that the eighth princess even asked her nanny to send back ten copies of the Lotus Sutra that she copied by herself!"
After saying that, Tong Bin gave a blessing to the Queen Mother and said very respectfully: "It turned out that the servants around the princess who didn't know the rules were the ones who encouraged the princess to do bad things. Fortunately, the Queen Mother personally sent the etiquette nun to teach the princess.
Now the princess is grateful for the Queen Mother's kindness and is copying Buddhist scriptures and praying for the Queen Mother every day!"
The Queen Mother was originally angry about the eighth princess, but Prince Yu Fujin naturally told the Queen Mother every word. It seemed that the Queen Mother had a very bad impression of this granddaughter. Now that she heard what Tong Bin said, the Queen Mother could not help but feel a little bit wrong.
The servant is not good, not her granddaughter. But she did not relent, she just said: "As long as you know your mistakes and can correct them!" What the Queen Mother was thinking at the moment was that the Horqin tribe had not had a master for a long time...
Then the Queen Mother said to Wen Xi very kindly: "Isn't that girl Yu Ludai crazy? We haven't seen each other for so long, and I want to ruin the Ai family!" Even if Horqin wants to be the master, he still wants to be a more noble princess...
This is what the Queen Mother thought in her heart.
Wen Xi pursed her lips and smiled, "Yu Ludai misses the Queen Mother very much too!" It's a pity that Wen Xi can't read minds and doesn't know what the Queen Mother and the old lady are thinking, otherwise she wouldn't be so polite.
Her gentle eyes swept across the embarrassed look on Tong Bin's face, and she smiled and said to the Queen Mother: "What does a Guanyin statue mean? I remember that the Queen Mother had a birthday the year before last, and the golden statue of Guanyin given by the emperor was completely consumed.
There are a thousand taels of gold! My concubine is not even half as big as that one!" Then he glanced sideways at Tong Bin and said, "Even if Tong Bin is a concubine, she is still the emperor's concubine now. We can't do this anymore.
The little guy is angry!"
Tong Bin's face suddenly turned red, while the concubines looked at the joke one by one. Although the concubines today have different backgrounds, except for Tong Bin, all the concubines here are also direct descendants, so naturally they all stood up immediately.
Tong Jiasuwan's face was completely lost. Although the Queen Mother and Kangxi's biological mother Xiao Kangzhang had no enmity, they had no friendship either. Therefore, they were lukewarm to the former Concubine Tong, and even more so to Tong Bin. Therefore,
When there is a conflict, the Queen Mother will only turn towards Wen Xi. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
