Wen Xi asked Ma Lang A's family to personally escort the Song family away from Chengqian Palace. Today happened to be October 20th, which was the day to pay respects to the two palaces. The sedan chair was lent to the Song family, so she had to go to Ci family in a shoulder carriage.
Ning Palace. Fortunately, the weather was sunny today and the sun was warm in the morning. I didn’t feel cold all the way to Cining Palace.
On the way to Cining Palace, the branches and leaves of the trees were withered, and the maple leaves were all red and gloomy. It was an extremely rare and gorgeous beauty. Where can you see such exquisiteness in a sedan chair? The cool autumn wind blew down the red and purple maple leaves, flying all over the sky.
She spread her warm hands flat to catch a maple leaf that blew in her face, and played with it carefully.
Today, there are fewer people coming to pay homage to Concubine Tong. The concubine came a little late, but Xiaozhuang knew the inside story and did not blame her. Since Tumen Baoyin was deprived of her title, Xiaozhuang no longer promoted her, but ordered her to be called
He and Dong Guiren were both banned, and he didn't know whether to give up this chess piece.
Xiaozhuang verbally praised Wen Xi and Cheng Fei for their actions in protecting the emperor's heir. He also gave blood swallows to Jingren Palace, Yonghe Palace and Changchun Palace respectively. He also ordered Aunt Sumara to visit in person. She was still lying in bed and almost had a miscarriage.
Concubine Tong ordered her to rest in peace, but did not ask anyone to visit Concubine De. It can be seen that Xiaozhuang did not like this concubine who was born as a slave, and he was even more wary of her because of Tumen Baoyin's incident.
Today, Xiaozhuang was left alone to speak with Wen Xi, and she said with great concern: "It has been more than a year since your child entered the palace, and you still have no good news. You should take good care of yourself."
Her gentle face showed a bit of sadness: "I am afraid that my uterus will be cold in the future? Oh, thank you so much for your concern. I have been taking medicine for treatment. I hope I can recover well."
Xiaozhuang said with relief: "The Ai family has also heard that you have a palace maid with medical skills to take care of your body. A medical woman does not have as many taboos as an imperial doctor, and she can also take care of your health better! The Ai family is still waiting.
I’m waiting for you to create an heir for the royal family!”
Wen Xi knew very well that what Xiaozhuang said was completely different from what she thought in her heart, but she still had to show gratitude and excitement on her face and thank her.
Xiaozhuang said kindly: "That child Baoyin is also a bit reckless, but he is not a bad-minded child after all. You should make peace with the emperor more often."
Wen Xi raised her eyebrows, Xiaozhuang was indeed not that easy to give up on Tumen Baoyin. The temporary grounding was just to tell her to hide her strength and bide her time! Wen Xi responded with a smile, with a bit of sympathy on her face: "Sister Baoyin has no fault at all.
, it’s all Concubine De’s fault!! The little princess is inherently deficient, otherwise why would all the concubines and concubines have called Qinglan. Still can’t save it? The emperor was also angry for a moment, maybe he will call sister Baoyin to sleep with her in the morning!”
Xiaozhuang's hair was half white, with a black and white hairstyle, and a three-foot flat square with ten thousand blessings on it, holding a gorgeous ruby, which made her old face look majestic and majestic. The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang took off her hair.
Wearing a red gold and red agate peony hairpin, he said: "You are also a royal concubine after all. It's not good to dress up so plainly all day long!" There was a bit of doting in his tone. He personally tied the gorgeous hairpin to Wen Xi's ear.
, and pressed his gentle hands to prevent her from taking it off. "Wear it well! This is the emperor's gift for the Ai family's seventieth birthday this year. You are more noble than ordinary concubines. With this hairpin, it is
A perfect match!”
She stroked the delicate peony pattern on the red gold hairpin with her warm hands and said, "Thank you, the Queen Mother! I am still young, so I am afraid that wearing this gold hairpin will not show off the splendor of this gold hairpin."
Xiaozhuang smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face deepened, "The Ai family has the most accurate taste in judging people. The Ai family said that if you are noble, you will never be wrong!"
If others heard this, they would probably be inspired to become ambitious. However, Wen Xi knew that she would be the highest-ranking concubine in the palace when she entered the palace, but she would only be a concubine until her death, and there would be no chance of further advancement.
!But Wen Xi doesn't care, all she needs to care about is not to let Tong Jia have the opportunity to go further! Come to think of it, on this point, she and Xiaozhuang have the same purpose! Xiaozhuang wants to use Wen Xi to suppress Tong Guifei
, Concubine De and others, the gentle thoughts are not much different from hers! Between each other, you are kind and I am filial, it is all just an act!
Xiaozhuang sighed slightly and said: "Aside from her husband and her grandchildren, what a woman cares most about is the glory of her mother's family! The Ai family knows that the Borzigit family cannot give birth to another queen!"
Wen Xi was slightly surprised when Xiaozhuang said what was in his heart so calmly. Xiaozhuang continued: "Xuanpin is someone who cannot stand up to the wall. Baoyin is quite smart, but at such a young age, she will inevitably get into trouble.
Whether she is a concubine or a concubine in the future, she will have to ask you to look after her and support her!"
If there was a deep meaning in Xiaozhuang's words, Wen Xi could only take the superficial meaning and said straightforwardly: "Yes, I also like Sister Baoyin very much, and I will definitely support each other with her!" This is also extremely meaningful.
Tumen Baoyin is promoted. One is a noble concubine and the other is a noble man. How can it be the noble man's turn to support the noble concubine?
Xiaozhuang slowly drank a cup of tea to moisten his mouth, and then said: "What the Ai family hopes is that Baoyin can win some affection from the emperor. You are a kind-hearted child, not as narrow-minded as Concubine Tong, who behaves in daily life
You are generous and generous, and the Ai family will naturally have high hopes for you!"
High hopes? Xiaozhuang's words are really obvious! Kangxi's post has been vacant for many years, and anyone who is ambitious is probably ready to make a move!
Wen Xi just continued to pretend to be stupid and said: "I am very lazy. Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi have all been in the palace for a long time and are skilled in handling official affairs. I live in leisure. People who are used to being lazy will not be diligent.
Woke up!"
Xiaozhuang smiled happily and kindly, "The Ai family likes your child's sincerity!"
With a gentle smile on her lips, she said: "I have only learned a little bit about the Empress Dowager. Those who know how to be lazy are lucky!"
Xiaozhuang gave him a warm embroidered pier, and asked Sumala Aunt to serve tea in person. She asked casually: "Is that child Yinzhen still well-behaved and sensible?"
Wen Xi nodded and answered truthfully: "The fourth elder brother studied and read with the prince. He is very sensible, but he is a bit dull and doesn't like to talk on weekdays." Although Xiaozhuang lives deep in Cining Palace, there is nothing that can happen in the palace.
past her eyes.
The hall was filled with the distant scent of sandalwood, curling like mist, permeating the entire main hall of Cining Palace. Xiaozhuang held a string of thickly patinated red sandalwood Eighteen Arhat bracelets in his hand, and slowly twisted them one by one.
Author, "Yin Zhen is a good child. He has not learned from her biological mother's cunning and Tong Jia's narrow-mindedness, which is good."
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang has a very low opinion of Concubine De, and it seems that she has been dissatisfied for a long time. Xiaozhuang is also from a very noble family, and any woman of high birth will inevitably look down on concubines of humble origins, especially concubines who are favored at a young age.
The seventy-year-old Empress Dowager Bumubutai is not immune to this! But what makes Xiaozhuang even more dissatisfied is the series of tricks used by Concubine De, right? To deal with the tricks used by others, Xiaozhuang may also turn a blind eye due to Kangxi's favor.
With one eye closed, Concubine De's hand reached out to Concubine Horqin's head. Xiaozhuang naturally couldn't tolerate it.
Wen Xi also lamented: "Yes, in the past two months, the fourth elder brother went to Yonghe Palace to pay his respects, and Concubine De didn't even look at her. I'm afraid the only one in Concubine De's eyes is the sixth elder brother Yinzuo."
Xiaozhuang snorted coldly and said angrily: "Then Yinzhen doesn't have to go to pay respects to the Wu Ya family in the future!" She is just a concubine, how dare she embarrass her great-grandson?! Don't look at what you are.
identity!
When Xiaozhuang spoke, Wenxi was naturally happy. She asked Yinzhen to stay away from Yonghe Palace and stay away from the plot! Otherwise, Yinzhen would not be happy when he saw his biological mother every day, who did not have him in her eyes! And the word "filial piety" was placed on it.
On top of his head, Yinzhen could only think about it day and night. Now that Xiaozhuang has spoken, Yinzhen can justifiably stay away from Wuya clan!
It was almost noon when I left Cining Palace. Xiaozhuang was very kind to Wenxi during the next few visits. He rewarded Wenxi with some precious jewelry from time to time, which made the concubines mistakenly think that Wenxi was deeply loved by the emperor.
The Queen Mother loved it.
As the days got colder, charcoal pots were placed in all the palaces and courtyards. Today's winter was much warmer than last year, so Wenxi gave up her sedan chair and continued to walk on the shoulder. On this day, she just left Cining Palace and walked
In the alley between Xisansuo and Yangxin Hall, there were tall vermilion walls on both sides. A draft formed in the alley and it was very cold. Wu Lu secretly ordered the eunuch carrying the shoulder carriage to walk faster.
Wearing a heater in her warm arms, she didn't feel too cold. Looking at her slender jade hands dyed with light pink cardamom, she looked particularly delicate. The Ruyi made of Hetian jade she was playing with was a gift from Xiaozhuang when she left today.
As they were moving faster, a woman wearing a brown palace maid's flag suddenly rushed out from a side alley. The eunuch carrying the sedan was so startled that he braked quickly, shaking Wen Xi. The jade Ruyi in his hand was already shiny.
Smooth, under the action of inertia, swished away from her hand, flew out violently, landed with a crisp sound, and fell into two pieces on the bluestone floor.
The woman in palace maid's clothes did not pay attention to the voice next to her. She knelt down in front and kowtowed repeatedly. Her hoarse voice was choked with sobs, and she kowtowed and begged pitifully: "Your Majesty, please help me! Please save my concubine!!"
Wen Xi only saw her slender body kneeling on the floor. She was still dressed like a low-class palace maid's coarse cotton-padded jacket. Her bun was a bit messy, her hair was full of oil, and her slender hands on the ground were black and shiny! Her whole body was full of sourness.
The rotten smell hit my nose! Wen Xi subconsciously covered her mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief scented with dew and lotus. Song'er pinched her nose and scolded angrily: "Which palace are you a slave? There are no rules! You broke into my house.
Your Lord, how many heads do you have?!"
This person was known as "Concubine", and she must have been one of Kangxi's concubines, but I wonder which concubine was in such a miserable state, even worse than a palace maid? Wen Xi was puzzled.
Nanny Wu Lu stood next to her and took two steps forward, enduring the pungent smell: "Who are you, and why do you want to stop your master's carriage?"
Only then did the man raise his head, with two traces of tears running down his stained face. The tears dripping down were all gray-black liquid. His voice was hoarse and unpleasant: "Your Majesty, your servant is the Yue family!" (To be continued. If
