Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Dynasty

"It's winter, and the Empress Dowager doesn't even like to move around anymore. These days, we don't even need to go to greet you." Concubine Yi brought her ninth elder brother to Qixiang Palace. Someone led Brother Jiu to play with Yin'e, while he sat on the side of the couch and said with a smile, "I see you don't like to move anymore, you've been languid all day, are you feeling unwell?"

"That's not true, it's just that I'm too lazy to socialize with those people." An He still has a few books in his hand, all brought back from Jiangning before, "It's not that my sister has never seen the faces of concubines in the harem. After staying here for a while, they will feel sour, and what they said is so sour that I am about to shiver."

"They're just people who have made trouble, so why do you take their words to heart?" Concubine Yi took a sip of hot tea, "Everyone wants the emperor to take his anger out on you, and doesn't even think about who they are, it's all here Look at the jokes, it's not they themselves who made the big joke in the end. You had torn face with Concubine Hui before, and this time she didn't hurt you much."

"It's not just her, even in Qixiang Palace there are people who look at jokes behind their backs." An He pointed to Concubine Yuan Shu's residence to the north, "The one who can't see me being favored and the emperor neglecting her often talks about it behind her back."

"It's because she loves to toss about herself, she has lost the emperor's favor, and she still has the mind to play these tricks." Concubine Yi snorted, "I really think that I am a person, and I don't want to think that you are the lord of Qixiang Palace. , a real noble concubine, she is just a concubine born under the five banners of the Han army with no status, and I don’t know where to give her such arrogance. Could it be that she thinks that you are unlucky and can’t deal with a person with no dignity or inferiority? Offended the concubine concubine?"

"It's not the first day that sister Yuan's temper is known. Compared with Noble Nala, it's better than that." An He only thought that Yuan Shufei's words had been heard, "Now Noble Nala has Emperor Shi The empress dowager has a stable temper, and this concubine Yuan Shu has come out to inherit the mantle. I don't bother to talk to her anymore, since she has committed the following crime against me, let her think about her mistakes behind closed doors, and copy the palace regulations and Buddhist scriptures by the way to calm down."

"Someone has to come forward to let her know the lesson." Concubine Yi said, "Concubine Rong told me that the little princess is in very bad health, and I don't know if she can survive the cold weather."

The eleven daughters of the emperor born by the Yuan family are now being raised by Concubine Rong. During the past three days, she has been ill for five days and has been seriously ill for five days. This has disturbed Concubine Rong, and she is picky about Yuan's pregnancy in her heart. A woman who is willing to eat and loses her temper is even more distasteful.

"Let the imperial doctor take care of it." An He pulled the veil over his mouth to hide his fatigue, "Concubine Zhang Jiashu just gave birth to a little elder brother, and I have to take care of the twelfth elder brother, and the palace Those things outside the palace also exhausted me. Fortunately, Concubine Zhang Jiashu is out of confinement, and the affairs outside the palace have been settled, so I can only steal half a day of leisure now."

"Concubine Tong has been concentrating on recuperating her body these days, she seems to be in good shape, and she will be able to take care of the palace affairs after a while, so you should delegate power appropriately, so that you can rest for a while." Concubine Yi came over to look, " Look at the bruises under your eyelids, no amount of powder can cover them."

"I'll take a good rest, sister don't have to worry." An He said with a smile.

In December, Concubine Tong's body was almost recuperated, and her expression was much better than when she saw her when she came back from the southern tour. The Empress Dowager knew that Anhe had to manage all the affairs of the harem and take care of the twelve elder brothers and her family. Zhang Jia's newborn little elder brother ordered Concubine Tong Guifei to regain control of the palace and manage the Six Palaces together with Concubine Anhe, Concubine Rong, Concubine Wen and Concubine Yi. There is no intention of handing it over to Concubine Tong Gui.

Because Tong was pregnant and could not enter the palace, the task of conveying the news to Anhe fell on Guarjia. An He looked at his new sister-in-law.Jue Luo looks gentle and delicate, with fair skin, and a flag dress embroidered with magnolia flowers on a lavender background makes people look even more beautiful.

"Sit down." This is the first time anyone from Niu Hulu's family has entered the palace since Kangxi decreed that Aling'a's branch residence should be separated. Something bad to say?"

"Everything is fine. The imperial doctor sent by the empress is very safe. She has been pregnant for more than three months now." Guarjia had followed Tong to the palace to meet Anhe before, so this time she was not too nervous, "This time Entering the palace to greet the empress, the second sister-in-law also ordered to thank the empress well. It is normal for gossip to spread outside the palace, and the third master ordered Bi to argue with those people."

"That's good. Those people like to gossip, so don't take what they say to heart." An He turned her head and looked at Luo Shi. She still had the shyness of a newlywed on her face, and her hands kept shaking. Twisting the handkerchief, I'm afraid I was a little nervous.But thinking about it, she must have been a little scared when something like this happened at home not long after she got married for a month.An He asked someone to bring out three brocade boxes, "This is a newly promoted jewelry this year. I think it suits you too. Take it back later."

"Thank you, Madam, for the reward." Guarjia said with a hearty smile.

Jue Luo took a deep breath before saying: "My servant thanked the empress."

"You don't have to be so cautious, we are all one family." An He smiled slightly, "How is Di Erniang?"

"Perhaps I know that the emperor is not happy, so I have kept myself safe during these days." Although Guerjia felt very disdainful towards such a aunt and younger brother, at least his face would not show such emotions. "The emperor didn't make a decree to separate the family, and we can't be unfilial, so we go to pay our respects to my mother-in-law every day, but most of the time she doesn't want to see us, but orders people to move her private property and dowry accumulated over the years. It's a new mansion."

Faka came from Shu Shujue Luo's family, but Yan Zhu, Fu Bao and Yin De were only from Ye Bilong's concubine Fujin. In terms of status, they are not comparable to Faka, let alone Ah Ling'a.Even Faka, who inherited the title, will be made things difficult by the Bayara family, let alone Yan Zhu and the others.The Guarja family has only been married for a year, and they have already deeply experienced the mighty ability of the Bayara family. To put it bluntly, after the Bayara family and Aling'a moved away, the atmosphere in the mansion is better than before. I don't know. how much.

"Since this is the case, you can't take it lightly. After all, she is an elder, and it is filial piety to greet her." An He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "We must not be negligent, so as not to be used by her to say that we are disloyal and unfilial."

"Your servant remembers." Guarjia nodded.

Jue Luoshi listened sincerely, and had a deep understanding of the temperament of this mother-in-law.She is the daughter of a concubine in the family, but her mother-in-law always treats her and other concubine sisters equally, and this is the first time she has seen a character like Bayara.Thinking of her taking people to beat the empress and the mother of the noble concubine, Jue Luo could hardly believe it.No wonder Grandpa and Ah Ling aren't close, with such Eriang's teaching, how could Ah Ling have a good temper.

"Although the emperor didn't blame him, he transferred A Ling'a from the inner class to the outer class. It can be seen that the emperor also knows what is right and what is wrong. Go back and talk to Mrs. Tong, and tell her not to worry and have a good life. The body is ready." An He said, "I also asked someone to prepare some anti-abortion medicinal materials, take them home for her."

"Yes." Guarjia replied, "The slaves can't help you outside the palace. Is the empress safe in the palace?" There are so many people watching jokes outside, the harem can imagine Know.The imperial concubine has always been favored, this time I'm afraid many people will make fun of her.

"Everything is fine, don't worry." An He knew what Guerjia was thinking, "You can't control the mouth growing on other people, not to mention that they just have some cheap words on their lips, maybe I will be punished because of their words." Is the emperor in the cold? The most important thing is to live well."

"Your Majesty is right." Mrs. Guerjia said with a slight smile.

Jue Luo nodded secretly, the imperial concubine is really in a good mood.Until the time of leaving, Jueluo could still see a man in charge of a father-in-law walking into the Qixiang Palace and leading several young eunuchs into the Qixiang Palace. Everything.

"That's the father-in-law Li Dequan who is beside the emperor. He is the person who has served the emperor for the longest time, and he has won the trust of the emperor." Guerjia said to Jueluo in a low voice after getting into the car, "People outside are laughing at our brothers. There is a disharmony, that's why the emperor ordered Ah Ling to live in a separate residence, but they don't know the inside story. If you look at today's posture, you will know that the emperor knows everything, and the imperial concubine will not be affected by this matter."

"Yes, looking at the things in the hands of those eunuchs, I'm afraid they are all newly promoted tributes." Ama of the Jueluo family used to work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and she could tell a little bit from her ears and eyes, "The emperor really Respect your lady."

"No matter what, this period is over." Guarjia decided to take the time to go back to her mother's house to talk to her mother-in-law and Ama Haosheng. According to this trend, one day the family will be separated sooner or later. It's better for Ling'a to keep in touch less, "The imperial concubine is right, Di Erniang is not kind, but we juniors can't be like her, lest people think we are disrespectful, and then we will pour all our strength on Niu Hulu's house." Dirty water."

"I know." Since she has married into Niu Hulu's family and is a member of Niu Hulu's family, she naturally needs to know how to maintain the family's reputation, Jue Luo said, "I thought the imperial concubine had been in the palace for so long, so she must He is a proud person, but unexpectedly, it is quite different from what I imagined, no wonder Grandpa told me to take it easy before going out."

"Your Majesty has a docile temperament. She used to have such a temperament in the mansion. It was better taught by Fang Fujin." Thinking of the arrogant and unreasonable A Ling'ah, Guarjia could only shake his head sighing. Children must learn how to teach them from Ce Fujin.
