Shu Jin's prediction was good, and the little rice cake was not stupid. After understanding his situation, he immediately became "sensible" and no longer cried and begged the emperor for a thorough investigation. Instead, he became more gentle and carefree, and often did some needlework and asked questions.
Poems and paintings please the emperor.
After all, Yongzheng was worried about Xiao Nian Gao's pregnancy, so he often took the time to visit Fuchun Palace, and the rewards were flowing in. This concubine Dun was once again the most beloved concubine in the harem.
Although the queen was itching with hatred, there was nothing she could do.
At the beginning of winter, Princess Huaike entered the palace with her child in her arms to pay her respects. When the Empress Dowager saw her great-grandchildren, she was in a good mood, so she summoned the Empress and several concubines with children, and added Concubine Xuan and Jin.
The concubines came to Wan Fang Anhe to listen to the opera together. Even Yong Zheng came specially to come, just like a family reunion.
By the way, this old lady really loves to listen to opera!
Oh, by the way, Empress Dowager Wu Ya was not invited... The Empress Dowager did not do it on purpose, but Queen Mother Wu Ya refused to come because she was unwell. Tsk tsk, this is because she is angry about her youngest son.
Fortunately, today's focus is on the little baby in red Baifu, who is white, tender, and cute. Even the Queen Mother hugged her personally and gave her a gold collar.
After all, the Empress Dowager was too old to hold her for too long, so she was soon handed over to the nanny. She couldn't help but sigh: "In a blink of an eye, Huai Ke has become a mother. The Ai family is really old."
Yongzheng immediately said: "The emperor's grandmother will always be strong."
The Empress Dowager sighed quietly: "That's not old."
The eldest grandson Yongzheng was a little embarrassed.
Shu Jin: Yongzheng, a straight man, really didn’t know how to coax women.
At this time, Ke Ke, who was holding the child in her arms, suddenly had red circles in her eyes, tears rolled down her eyes, and she let out a sob.
Queen Uranala, who was sitting next to the emperor, scolded with a straight face: "Huaike, today is a great day, why are you so ignorant?!"
Princess Huaike hurriedly hugged the child and knelt down, "It's my fault, my son. Seeing the family reunion today, I couldn't help but think of my mother."
Shu Jin secretly thought, this is obviously a chance to intercede for Mr. Qi!
Although the queen was unhappy, she immediately said: "You can rest assured that Qi Guiren has recovered a few months ago. If you are still not relieved, you can go and visit her." - The queen naturally understood what Huai Ke had done today.
Cry, at least give her something good.
How could Princess Huai Ke be satisfied with just "visiting"?
Sure enough, Princess Huaike raised her head and looked at her imperial father, His Majesty Yongzheng, with tears in her eyes, "Khan Ama, it's winter now, but E Niang is left alone in the Forbidden City with no one to take care of her. E Niang is old and her health is not good.
No, can, can... take her to the Old Summer Palace and raise her?"
Yongzheng would still be soft-hearted when it came to treating his own flesh and blood.
The queen was secretly annoyed, "Since she is not in good health, how can she be so busy traveling and traveling? I will ask the palace to give her more trouble."
Huai Ke looked at Yong Zheng with tears streaming down his face, "Khan Ama..."
Yinzhen sighed slightly and looked at the Queen Mother: "What do you think, Queen Mother?"
The Empress Dowager smiled slightly: "It's all trivial matters, the emperor can make the decision."
The queen was secretly angry, "Your Majesty, it's not that I can't tolerate my concubines, I'm actually a noble Qi... Even during the confinement, I was always cursing my concubines and Concubine Yu!" After saying that, the queen looked at the mute concubine Geng.
Shi.
Shu Jin: No cue!
Yinzhen pretended to be confused at this time, "Really? Is there such a thing? Concubine Yu, have you heard about it?"
Shu Jin smiled sarcastically: "I have been in the garden for so long, but I haven't paid much attention to the palace..." I, Buji Island... I have neither objection nor approval, it's up to you.
Anyway, Qi Guiren can no longer make any waves, and his only use is probably to support the Queen.
The queen couldn't help but said angrily, "Concubine Yu, don't pretend to be stupid!"
Yinzhen couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed. This queen was not as big-hearted as Geng!
Yinzhen coughed and said, "In that case, please bring Qi Guiren here."
Huai Ke was overjoyed and kowtowed hurriedly: "Thank you Khan Amma, thank you so much... the Queen!"
The queen was so angry that her nose was crooked, but I didn’t agree!
Seeing this, Yinzhen added: "Of course, we still have to continue to be grounded. If Mr. Qi is disrespectful to the Queen, he should be reprimanded or reprimanded."
Such comfort obviously did not satisfy the queen, "Your Majesty!"
The Empress Dowager also coughed slightly and said: "No matter how bad Mr. Qi is, she is still the biological mother of Huai Ke and Hong Shi. You can't just spend the New Year alone in the Forbidden City, right?"
Shu Jin secretly laughed, the queen wished that Mr. Qi had died of old age and illness in the palace.
At this time, Concubine Jin, who was serving tea and water for the Empress Dowager, smiled: "Concubine, I haven't seen Sister Qi for some time. I heard that she is seriously ill, so I am afraid she has lost a lot of weight."
The Queen was unhappy at first, but Jin Bin jumped out and said, "She will still be banned when she comes to the garden. I'm afraid Jin Bin still won't be able to see her!"
Jinbin meekly responded with a "yes".
The Empress spoke so coldly to Concubine Jin, but the Empress Dowager's expression remained the same as before. On the other hand, Concubine Xuan frowned and looked a little dissatisfied.
The Empress Dowager showed a kind smile: "Okay, get up, sit down and listen to the play."
"Yes, ancestor." Huaike wiped away his tears and finally showed a relieved smile on his face.
At the end of October of the second year of Yongzheng's reign, Li, a nobleman of Qi, arrived at the Old Summer Palace, but was placed in the remote Hanqiu Pavilion by the queen. Since he was under confinement, he did not need to meet the concubines. However, Yongzheng still allowed Huai Ke to visit his biological mother.
There are few things to do and it makes the Queen unhappy.
On this day, the concubine paid her respects. The queen glanced at everyone with cold eyes, only to find that there was one person missing, and he was someone she quite hated. Her face suddenly became even more unhappy, "Why didn't you come, concubine Jin?"
It was already November, and there was a light snowfall this morning, and the north wind was blowing. The weather was really cold. To be honest, Shu Jin really didn't want to come.
At this time, Cui Jinzhong, the leader of the eunuchs, stepped forward and bowed and said: "Reporting to your Majesty, I just came from Shendetang to report that I am not feeling well. I am afraid that I will be sick to you, so I sent you here to report my illness."
"Sick?" The queen frowned, "She has always been in excellent health, but she is also sick?"
Shu Jin was speechless: Anyone who eats whole grains will get sick!
Um, but then again, she has never been sick since time travel.
The queen raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is there a meeting with you in the guest room?"
Cui Jinzhong said: "I have sent someone to ask, and Jinbin's green-headed card has been removed."
"Oh?" The queen looked surprised. She was really ill. If so, it would save her eyesight for a few days.
Concubine Xi was skeptical about this, "Sister Jinbin has always been strong. She must be seriously ill. I need to go back and take a good look at her."
Shu Jin silently took a piece of yam cake and ate it. Do you want to explore the truth?
"Sister Yufei, do you want to go with us?" Concubine Xi looked over with a smile.
Shu Jin almost choked on the yam cake in his mouth. I went to see Jin Bin, and my brain was flooded! He quickly picked up the tea and took a sip, "It's cold, so I won't go."
