Seeing the two people's submissive looks, Wen Xi didn't want to embarrass them. She put down the tea cup and said calmly: "That's all, the master asked you to move, but you dare not not move. Which side hall are you two living in now?"
"
The concubine Zhang Jia said in a soft voice: "My concubine and sister Zhaojia are temporarily staying in Jingchunzhai, the westernmost side hall." Zhang Jia also seemed to be a humble person, but for some reason she was treated as a concubine by virtue.
Kicked out.
Wen Xi was stunned. They actually lived together. After thinking for a while, she recalled: "I remember that Jingchun Zhai is the most cool and ventilated place. It has always been used to store tea and silk. Now I am afraid of the cold weather."
Bar?"
When Bu Gui heard what Wen Xi said, he felt relieved, but he still did not dare to be presumptuous. He only said: "Jingchunzhai is actually very spacious, much better than the place where I lived before."
It seems that there are many low-ranking concubines in Jingren Palace. Except for Concubine Tong and Duan Concubine Dong, who occupy the best main hall and east side hall, other nobles Chang Zai promised to squeeze in. It seems that Yiermu is also with
Yi Changzai lives in the same house.
Wen Xi ordered Song'er beside her: "Go and clean up the Yi'an Hall of the West Wing Hall and the Sixi Hall next to it, so that Noble Bu and Concubine Zhang Jia can live in them."
The two of them were surprised and hurriedly knelt down to thank them. Yi'an Hall was the best residence in Chengqian Palace besides the main hall and the east side hall. It was sunny and spacious. Sixi Hall was slightly smaller, but it was also new and exquisite. It was gentle and rewarding.
After getting the two people's satin jewelry, they sent them away.
The next day, I went to Cining Palace to pay my respects. I met Concubine Tong, whom I had not seen for a long time. She seemed to be a little more open-minded. Wen Xi and her met each other with courtesy.
Concubine Tong wore a pomegranate red embroidered embroidered Qingluan peony flag dress. It was bright and dazzling, but it did not match her small and gentle face. Tong Jiayiwan held the purple gold hand stove and said politely: "
Sister Wen Xi went to Mulan. The wind and sun did not show the roughness, but she became more and more delicate."
Wen Xi didn't like her judgmental eyes and tone, but he was not polite in front of others. He smiled and said, "Sister Tong's clothes are so beautiful. The blue luan on top is brightly colored and lifelike, as if it is about to fly out!"
Concubine Tong chuckled and said: "My sister is getting better and better at talking! I have something to apologize to my sister! It's really too crowded in my palace, so I had to ask Mr. Zhaojia Bugui to go to my sister's palace to warm her heart."
Sister Xi won’t be unhappy, right?”
Everyone has come in, what can they do if they are not happy? But with a smile on his face, he said: "How could it be? The people who come from Sister Tong's palace know the rules best!" There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
The smile on Concubine Tong's face became a little stiff. Maybe she thought of the incident where Yimu roared at Chengqian Palace and was banned for disrespecting the concubine. Wasn't it caused by the people in Jingren Palace who were the most particular about rules? Concubine Tong asked.
He smiled and said: "This Bu Gui is not a person who understands rules. He likes to make trouble all the time. He either wants this or asks for that! Sister, I really can't restrain her. Seeing that my sister has always been strict in her behavior, I must be able to train her well!"
Wen Xi didn't want to follow her words, but said: "As long as you give her what she wants, she will naturally stop making trouble, right?"
Concubine Tong raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Sister, please don't indulge the concubines in your palace too much, lest they take advantage of you in the future and you won't be able to restrain them even if you want to!"
"Thank you, sister, for reminding me. I have my own sense of propriety, so don't worry about it." Wen Xi said slowly.
Concubine Tong smiled contemptuously and said nothing.
On this day of greetings, Xiaozhuang was particularly kind to Wen Xi. The old lady held Wen Xi's hand affectionately like an ordinary grandmother, and whispered softly: "You serve the emperor very wholeheartedly, and the Ai family sees it.
You fell ill after falling into the water, are you feeling better now?"
Wen Xi could only reply: "It's okay to go back to the Empress Dowager."
Xiaozhuang nodded, "My poor child, you have suffered a lot of grievances!" Then he turned to Aunt Sumara and said, "Go get two boxes of blood bird's nests and give them to Concubine Wen Xi to replenish her body."
Wen Xi thanked Xiaozhuang in a hurry and said, "Thank you, Aunt Su." Aunt Sumala was Xiaozhuang's most confidant. Even Kangxi was extremely respectful to her, and the concubines did not dare to be rude.
Wen Xi knew that Xiaozhuang must have known about her cold palace and difficulty in conceiving, so he was particularly kind. I was afraid that Xiaozhuang would let her do so and not interfere more in the future. This was actually a problem for Wen Xi.
Good thing.
Xiaozhuang glanced at Concubine Yifei Guo Luoluo Zhuyan again, and said with a serious face: "Concubine Yifei has time to advise the children of her mother's family, and they must not take advantage of their status as a relative of the country to arrogant and unlucky!"
Concubine Yi trembled all over and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "I know my mistake, please remember the teachings of the Empress Dowager!"
Xiaozhuang seemed to just want to beat Concubine Yi or two, and did not hold on to the matter. Instead, he said: "Just remember. Guo Guiren has had a miscarriage, please go and take care of her."
After giving instructions to Concubine Yi, Xiaozhuang said to Concubine Tong: "Although the Dong family in your palace was wrongly banned, after all, she is pregnant with dragon descendants. You must be careful not to let the servants deprive her of her share, let alone
You are belittling her! Guo Guiren has already had a miscarriage, and Duan Bin’s baby must be delivered safely."
"Yes, I will definitely protect the Dong family and not let others assassinate her!" Concubine Tong said solemnly.
Xiaozhuang left the Xuan concubine Borjigit to speak, and asked the other concubines to disperse.
Song'er put on Wen Xi a thick cloak with begonia red dense embroidery of fish and lotus leaves, and was about to help Wen Xi get into the sedan chair. Wen Xi suddenly asked: "Did Lord Bu ever offend Concubine Tong when he was in Jingren Palace?"
"
Wu Lushi sighed and said: "I don't know what the empress does. Not only has noble Concubine Tong offended Concubine Tong, but he has also offended many empresses in charge!"
Wen Xi was slightly surprised, glanced at Wu Lu with an inquiring look, and asked, "Why?"
Wu Lu said: "The Bu nobles are pitiful. Although they gave birth to a princess in the thirteenth year of Kangxi and were named nobles, the third princess was born with a weak constitution. It was a problem brought from her mother's womb. It is also because the Bu nobles are meticulous.
In order to recuperate the body of the third princess, I went out of my way to ask for good things like bird's nest and ginseng from others, so that the body of the third princess got better day by day."
Wen Xi was confused: "Three princesses are princesses, so why don't they get enough bird's nests and ginseng to eat?"
Wu Lushi smiled and said: "The emperor liked the third princess when she was just born, so naturally she couldn't get anything good. But the third princess was weak and not as lively and lovely as the second princess, Concubine Rong, so the emperor gradually disliked the third princess.
.The emperor doesn’t like the princess, and the servants below are disrespectful and even deduct a lot from the quota! Not to mention the good nourishing food! The biological mother of the third princess is just a noble person, and the quota is just a little.
Life is becoming more and more difficult because we are still not favored by the emperor. It was the Bu noble people who sacrificed their lives all these years to help the third princess get better."
Wen Xi sighed deeply, "The third princess is also pitiful, and even more pitiful is Bu Guiren's motherly heart."
Wu Lushi added: "Fortunately, there are three concubines now as assistants. Concubine Rong is in charge of the distribution of quotas. She beat the servants below and supplied the quotas to the three princesses."
Wen Xi nodded. Concubine Rong lived in seclusion, but she acted fairly. She was much better than Concubine Tong who single-handedly controlled the palace affairs before. Then she said: "Give one of the two boxes of blood bird's nests that the Empress Dowager gave me to Mr. Bu.
After I went back, I took the official swallow from my warehouse and gave it to Concubine Zhang Jia. Always act with a bowl of water in order."
