Female Official In the East Palace

Concubine Shu Gui and Concubine Niu Hulu were reprimanded by the Empress Dowager at Cining Palace, and as expected by Rong Xin, Concubine Shu Gui was too weak and could not be tired, and the Empress Dowager would clean up the harem. The task was handed over to Concubine Niu Hulu.

Rong Xin waited for two days before ordering someone to send the roster to Concubine Niu Hulu, who was also smart and moved these palace attendants step by step.

Yin Si.

"Aunt Rong, isn't brother the prince?"

Rong Xin replied with a smile: "Hui Ba elder brother, His Royal Highness has many courses such as classics, history, riding and archery every day, and now he is still listening to the cabinet, so naturally he is not in Yuqing Palace."

When the eighth brother heard this, he looked at the Dunben Palace and pretended to be mature and sighed: "I was thinking that the Yuqing Palace has no grape trellis, no vegetable field, and no Yin Russia, but there are The prince's elder brother is also very good, I didn't expect the prince's elder brother to be not there, alas—"

He must not know what the East Palace means, so there is a taste of "Yuqing Palace is not good anywhere" in his tone.

childish.

Of course, children are good children.

And one of the good boys, Brother Eight, walked up to Rong Xin with his little hands behind his back and asked, "But I will never dislike it. Can you invite me to be a guest next time?"

Someone will go to Changchun Palace to invite you."

The eighth brother said with a serious face: "Then make an appointment, Aunt Rong don't tease me by looking at my age."

Rong Xin smiled and nodded, "Eighth brother, don't worry, although I am a woman, I am a promise."

Brother Eight got her affirmative answer, and his face suddenly became excited.

Rong Xin coaxed: "Eighth brother, the layout of the Yuqing Palace is different from that of the Changchun Palace. Can I ask a maid to show you around?"

Rong Xin said and pointed to Xueqing, Xueqing immediately smiled at the eighth brother, and the head and eyebrows were as beautiful as flowers and jade.

The love of beauty is irrespective of age, and the eighth brother agreed very readily, and followed Xueqing to the depths of Yuqing Palace.

Rong Xin watched them leave, and then said to Tan Xin: "Follow me to the study and sit down."

This study is for the Crown Prince to entertain guests. Occasionally, Rong Xin also speaks by meeting people.

It was not the first time for Tan Xin to come here. She sat down quite comfortably and said casually, "We passed through the imperial garden when we came, and happened to meet Wei Changzai, which took a little delay."

"That's a bit of a coincidence."

Wei Chang is living in Chuxiu Palace. Concubine Niu Hulu sees that she is the biological mother of the eighth brother, and she takes care of her, but she is not lenient enough to allow her to visit the eighth brother often.

Rong Xin heard that she would often look at him from a distance when Concubine Niu Hulu brought her eighth brother back from the Cining Palace, but she still obeyed the rules and did not try to near.

I just don't know what happened today.

And Tan Xin replied: "Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong and more than a dozen often promised to appreciate chrysanthemums in the imperial garden, and the eighth brother came to visit."

Rong Xin laughed, Concubine Rong told her a few days ago that she had quarreled with Concubine Hui. Everything can be done.

But the concubines in the harem, not to mention there is no deep hatred, even if there is, they can talk and laugh when they meet, and there are only a few strange ones.

Rong Xin didn't care much, and when the maid brought tea to Tan Xin, she asked, "You came here this time, besides bringing the eighth brother to play, but there are other things?"

"There is something, the concubine, the concubine, taught me to come and ask you, the palace attendant is transferred, do you have any other plans?"

What should Rong Xin be doing? He smiled indifferently and said, "Tan Xin, go back and tell the concubine, I have no other arrangements, please do as she pleases."

When she said this, she wanted Concubine Niu Hulu to take care of herself.

The imperial concubine is the imperial concubine after all, if Rong Xin is like Qianhang and others, I am afraid that sooner or later there will be a quarrel. people.

But even if she is appointed by herself, whoever is on the surface does not mean that the inside is always the same, it may be the person of Concubine Hui, Concubine Yifei, or it may be her...

While the two of them were talking, the eighth brother had followed Xueqing to the Yuqing Palace, and as soon as he came to the study, he said: "The prince is so pitiful!"

It was not the first time that Rong Xin heard him say that His Royal Highness the Prince was "poor", he smiled rather helplessly and asked, "What do you say, Brother Eight?"

"Brother Prince's residence is like a labyrinth. If I am alone, I am afraid I will be dizzy." The eighth brother thought for a while, and said blankly, "It is now that I will walk again, I should I can't even remember."

Xue Qing covered her lips and smiled secretly, Rong Xin glared at her, smiled and said to the eighth brother: "So you said this, when we first moved in with His Royal Highness, there were some I'm not used to it, but now that I'm used to it, it's convenient."

Brother Eight asked curiously, "Is Brother Prince also getting lost?"

Rong Xin thought for a while, then shook her head, "It doesn't seem to have happened before."

"Brother Prince is so good!"

It was a four-year-old child's compliment to the prince, Rong Xin also smiled proudly.

Tan Xin approached Eighth Brother and said softly, "Your Highness, it's getting late, we should go back."

The eighth brother glanced in the direction of the Yuqing Palace gate and nodded reluctantly, "Okay, I haven't seen Shu Erniang and Yin'er for a long time, I also miss it a little."

He didn't mention Concubine Niu Hulu, but Tan Xin didn't care at all and smiled.

Seeing this, Rong Xin smiled and said, "Then I won't keep Eighth Brother, and I'll invite you to sit down in the future."

Brother Eight nodded and left Yuqing Palace with Tan Xin.

Originally, Rong Xin thought that Concubine Niu Hulu would have some useful people in her hands, and it was normal for them to be arranged. , there is no rule at all.

Rong Xin listened to the report below and found that she punched out, and the result was really wonderful.

Rong Xin does not know every one of these palace attendants in the harem, and she doesn't know the details of some people's hidden depths, but knowing this part is enough for her to laugh .

Concubine Niu Hulu arranged it at will, disrupting the original order—

Or the people of the three concubines are crowded in the Shangyi Bureau, or the people of Concubine Hui are higher than those of Concubine Shu, or the people of Concubine Shu have returned to her jurisdiction...

In short, the uninformed people don't realize what, these high-level concubines themselves are more or less panicked.

"Niangniang, the person we have finally placed in, was handed out by Concubine Niu Hulu lightly, not to mention, it becomes more and more inconvenient to do things."

Concubine Hui listened to her grandmother's words, wrote the last stroke of "Hundred Flowers for Beauty" with a calm expression, and said calmly: "Sister Niu Hulu is still very young, if it weren't for Rong Xin supported her, how could she have today? Still hit seven inches with such precision?"

"Really Rong female officer?" The grandmother is a little older, and she also addresses Rong Xin with more respect, but she still has some doubts.

Concubine Hui sneered: "I already knew this was not going to happen, but men always think that they are amazing outside, and they look down on women in the house unscrupulously."

"Niangniang, Mingxiang is a person who does great things for the court, so he is also planning for our elder brother."

In the court, I am afraid that it is not inferior to those men."

"Oh! How is it so disrespectful?"

"Niangniang—" The final voice of the grandmother was also flustered.

Concubine Hui lowered her eyes and said quietly: "If you were taught me to choose, I would rather be like that idiot of Ma Jia's, and only care about my own happiness..."

The grandmother was afraid that she would say something nonsense, so she immediately changed the subject and said, "Miss, the elder brother will come later. If you see that your expression is different, I may be worried..."

Concubine Hui said angrily, "If he was so careful, he would not be our eldest brother."

"This... Big Brother is a man, but he is not so careful and filial."

"I don't know who is filial piety."

"Who are you..."

“…”

In other palaces, more or less like the Yanxi Palace, they talked about the deployment of personnel, worrying more than joy.

Rong Xin didn't pay much attention to those, and only concentrated on copying Buddhist scriptures. She has been in Yuqing Palace long enough now, so she should go out earlier.

On November 29th, Kangxi's southern tour ended completely and he returned to the palace.

Kangxi paid tribute to the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager, and returned to the Qianqing Palace.

The prince returned to Yuqing Palace in the evening. Rong Xin had finished copying the scriptures for the day, so he accompanies him to chat casually.

"You mean that the emperor wants to build a garden that 'avoids noise and listens to government'?"

Prince nodded, "Exactly, choose craftsmen from Suzhou and Hangzhou to build the garden."

Hearing him talking about Suzhou, Rong Xin thought of the person who escorted Kangxi back to Beijing, and said casually: "I heard that Mr. Shi Wenbingshi, the capital of the Han army who sent the emperor back to Beijing this time, he had previously stationed in Hangzhou."

Prince pondered for a while and replied, "Master Shi was stationed in Hangzhou before."

"The emperor specially ordered him to **** him. It seems that he really likes the scenery of Jiangnan."

The two are actually not much related, but the prince still answered earnestly: "Emperor Ama did praise Master Shi several times, but Master Shi is from the Suwan Guerjia clan, and his ability is outstanding. , Huang Ama's promotion to the capital is also very important."

The prince smiled gently, "Auntie just hasn't had a deep understanding of the history of the Eight Banners, but even if she doesn't know much, it doesn't hinder her."

"A few years ago in the harem there was no little master surnamed Gu Erjia, so I didn't know much about it." Rong Xin smiled lightly and said inadvertently, "But there is some fate, the Kunning Palace was released earlier. The maid of the palace, it seems that someone is a nanny in the Gualjia clan."

The crown prince is not interested in this because the dowry of the emperor's mother is in Yuqing Palace.

And seeing him like this, Rong Xin didn't say what he wanted to say.
