Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Dynasty

Near the end of the year, there were several consecutive heavy snowfalls in the capital, so Kangxi stopped the homework of several elder brothers and asked them to study by themselves in the elder brother's office.When An He came back from the Compassionate Ning Palace, he saw that the prince was leading a group of young elder brothers around Yin'e, and the prince was teasing Yin'e with a piece of pastry.Xu Shi had never done such a thing before. The prince's face was mixed with expectation and excitement, but what he was holding was the rose cake that Yin'er disliked the most, so Yin'er didn't show any face, so he turned his head and grabbed it. Cloth Tiger played on his own.

"Why are you guys here?" An He handed over the cloak to Fei Lan and asked with a smile.

The little elder brothers hurriedly lined up to say hello, and finally the prince's representative made a concluding speech: "Yinzhuo said that the cakes here are delicious, and I brought my younger brothers over after reporting to Khan Ama."

An He took a closer look, except for the elder brother Yinzhi and the third elder brother Yinzhi, the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, and the seventh elder brother were all there. She smiled and said, "Since that's the case, you don't have to restrain yourself. Fei Qing Feihong, tell the people in the small kitchen to make more warm snacks and corn soup, it’s better to eat hot food in such a cold weather.”

"Thank you, imperial concubine." Seeing that An He had come back, the prince couldn't tease Yin'e with a snack anymore, so he could only regretfully put the snack in his mouth and chew it a few times and swallowed it.

"Brother Prince, drink this. This is jasmine tea with honey, which is very delicious." Yinzhuo likes sweet things, so he strongly recommends honey jasmine tea, "And this and this are especially delicious when eaten with scented tea. "

"Yin'e doesn't like rose cakes, so go and get a plate of milk and water chestnut cakes." After seeing her own mother, Yin'e began to hug An He, sitting in An He's arms very well-behaved, completely She doesn't have the arrogant and petite look of "I don't care about you" just now.An He ordered the hot milk tea to be served again, and seeing that the prince was still looking at Yin'e unwillingly, he said so.

The prince's originally dim eyes quickly lit up. Seeing Yin'e eating the sweet cake that An He fed over, and seeing the other brothers eating happily, he hesitated for a moment and asked: "Mother, concubine, Can I try to feed my tenth brother?"

"Of course." Regardless of whether she wants to or not, Yinzuo has already been drawn to the prince's side by Kangxi, since she can't change it, then just get along with the prince better.The prince is not close to Suo'etu now, and the elder brother has not emerged to force the prince to collapse. Everything can be changed at the beginning.An He put Yin'er next to him, watched the prince feed Yin'er almost carefully, and sighed in his heart, in fact, he was only a ten-year-old child.

Cheering to his mother-in-law and being fed with snacks, Yin'e ate happily and did not hesitate to smile.The chubby little hand also reached out to grab a piece of snack, and brought it to the prince's mouth under the surprised gaze of the prince. After watching him eat the snack, he clapped his hands cheerfully.

"Brother Prince doesn't like me anymore when he sees the tenth brother." Yinzuo pouted.

Seeing this, the fourth elder brother, who was blinking his big eyes, stretched out his hand and patted his head, saying: "Fourth elder brother loves you."

Before Yinxuan could react, the fifth elder brother on the side said: "Fourth brother, you still have pastry crumbs in your hands..."

An He looked at the children who were playing and fighting, and then at the prince who couldn't bear to look directly at him, and finally couldn't help laughing.

During the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Bayara brought Mrs. Hesheli into the palace to pay her respects.Maybe it's because seeing that An He is now firmly seated as a noble concubine and has given birth to the sixth elder brother and the tenth elder brother, and the sixth elder brother and the prince have always been close, so the Bayara family is also much gentler to An He, at least she loved An He before. The look of indifference never appeared again.

Because of Bayara's presence, An He couldn't ask about Shu Shujue Luo's affairs, and thinking about Yan Zhu's marriage, he asked, "How are the preparations for the second brother's marriage going?"

"It's all ready, just wait for the spring to invite craftsmen to repair the courtyard." Bayara replied, "The wedding date is set on October [-]."

"That's okay, it wasn't that hot back then." An He nodded, "Fu Bao has already taken the post of blue-collar bodyguard, Yin De has also taken up the post of Luan Yiwei, and A Ling'a is thirteen this year, what is the wife?" view?"

"Naturally, I want to give him the position of the former imperial bodyguard. After all, A Ling is the only son of the master." Ye Bilong's first two wives failed to leave any blood, but it was Xi Fujin and Shu Fujin who gave birth to him. There are many children, so it is not surprising that Bayara is so arrogant.She even always felt that it was unreasonable for Faka to inherit the first-class dukedom left by Ye Bilong, and now she just restrained her thoughts a little bit because Anhe was the imperial concubine.

"He also deserves to be the imperial guard." An He nodded and stopped talking.

Bayara opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.She originally thought that there must be a way for An He to ask such a question, and she thought that An He would speak to A Ling'a in front of the emperor, and then she would be able to make up for the emperor directly.

Seeing this, Hershey raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said: "The news released by the lord has come to an end. Yan Zhu will take office after her marriage. By that time, the servants may not be able to come to greet the imperial concubine often."

"It doesn't matter, brother's future is the most important thing." An He's expression was much softer when facing Hesheli.Maybe Hesheli told Faka after returning home, maybe Faka saw his nephew getting close to the prince. Anyway, the news that Hesheli came to the palace during this period is that Faka and Mingzhu's family gradually lost contact. Well, this errand to be released was only obtained after many inquiries.

"Speaking of which this year is still a general election year, I'm afraid the imperial concubine has to be busy with drafting matters." Seeing that An He was so indifferent to himself, but so close to Hesheli, Mrs. Bayara deliberately mentioned the matter of the draft. , "When the newcomers enter the palace, I don't know how many people will feel sad."

It's a pity that Anhe's feelings for Kangxi are not love, and it has nothing to do with the desire for monopoly, so he didn't take Bayara's words to heart.She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Fu Bao was born in seven years, so he should get married after counting his age. It happens to be the general election this year, so I will pay Fu Bao a good attention."

"It is naturally the best to have the imperial concubine make the decision." Hesheli replied with a smile.

Bayara's on one side was very angry.

Not long after entering the first lunar month, Kangxi commanded Peng Chun to take the seal of the general of Heilongjiang, commanding the recovery of Yaksa.The war in the previous dynasty did not affect the tranquility of the harem, it was only because the re-opening of the draft was a bit disturbing, especially the concubine Yuan Shu and Concubine Borzigit who had just entered the palace three years ago.The latter is fine, except for a Mongolian concubine who died of illness before being canonized and was posthumously named Concubine Hui, Kangxi's harem belonged to the Mongolian Army Banner, so she also understood that Kangxi's love for her was limited, and during this time she often went to the empress dowager Serving in front of her; but Concubine Yuan Shu was in a hurry, for fear that her favor would be lost by others.

"Master, Concubine Yuan Shu is here and wants to greet you." Jinxiu put a cup of milk tea by Anhe's hand, "I don't see Concubine Yuan Shu being so active on weekdays, but I heard that Master will assist Concubine Tong in the matter of this draft They come here every now and then, and don't know what to cherish."

"Go and tell her, just say that I'm busy and don't have time to see her, it's enough to know that she has this kind of intention." An He slowly flipped through the miscellaneous notes in her hand, "As for what she wants to cherish, isn't it just that she wants to get her love from me?" Are you here to inquire about the draft? I don't have so much time to entertain her."

"The servant girl will go back to her now." Jinxiu smiled lightly, turned around and went out to pass on the message.

An He put down the miscellaneous notes in her hand after she left.Little Tong was sent out of the palace by Concubine Tong several years ago, and will enter the palace to participate in the primary election in March. If there is no accident, she will definitely pass.According to what she saw in the Palace of Compassion and Peace these days, the Empress Dowager treats Concubine Tong Guifei decently, but she is not as favored by Concubine Yi in front of the Empress Dowager; Not to mention the people in the position, they have never been close to her.Her health is getting worse day by day, but she doesn't even have a capable helper by her side, Xiao Tong must have to enter the palace.

On February 26, Noble Nala gave birth prematurely and gave birth to a princess, the tenth daughter of Emperor Kangxi.Because Concubine An was involved in the rumors before, the Empress Dowager was worried about entrusting the princess to her upbringing, so she simply ordered that the newborn princess be given to Concubine Wen Hesheli.Concubine Wen smiled from ear to ear holding this daughter who fell from the sky. She was worried that the little princess would be born prematurely, so she devoted herself to everything no matter how big or small, and even pushed back the right to be the assistant to the sixth palace early.

"My sister really loves this child, but I heard that Noble Nala was still relentless during the confinement period, so I had to complain for my sister." An He had a new understanding of Noble Nala's temperament, and Concubine Wen didn't care about it. In the past, she was suspected of raising her daughter for her, but she complained first that she felt that the decision of the empress dowager was not good, and she really thought of herself as something.

"Whatever she says, since the little princess has come to me, I will take good care of it." Concubine Wen took a sip of tea, "You also come by coincidence. Usually, I have to take care of the princess at this time. Today the princess has had milk. Go to bed, I will have the time to entertain you, otherwise you will come here in vain."

"My sister's words really make me sad." An He pretended to be about to cry, and after a while he couldn't pretend to laugh out loud, "It's also rare for me to come out. Chuxiu Palace and Zhongcui Palace The apse there has not been repaired in the past few years, and now the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are cleaning it up, and the noble Nala is born in the Chuxiu Palace, so it is necessary to take care of her, and the progress has not been able to keep up." Although the re-election was in May, but the repaired house will have to hang out for a while before people can live in it.

"It can only be like this, nobleman Nala's movement is also sudden this time." Concubine Wen sighed, "I heard that it is the root cause of the illness left behind when I gave birth to elder brother Yinqi."

"Now I can only let her have a good life. After all, she gave birth to two sons and one daughter for the emperor." As soon as An He finished speaking, Fei Hong walked in, saluted them, and then whispered something in An He's ear. sentence.An He nodded, "I have something to do there temporarily, so I will go back first."

"Walk slowly."

It turned out that Concubine Tong asked someone to let her go to Chengqian Palace to confirm the final primary election. An He deliberated with her carefully to make sure she was safe before walking out from Concubine Tong. The sky had already darkened slightly. .

On the tenth day of March, the primary election officially began.
