Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Dynasty

As soon as he returned to Qixiang Palace Anhe, he heard the voices of several elder brothers.She handed the hand stove in her hand to Fei Lan who was waiting on the side, and asked with a smile: "I came so early today." Looking at the time, it must be time for them to learn how to ride and shoot.

"I heard that the emperor is in high spirits today, personally instructing a few elder brothers on riding and shooting, and also asked them to rest in advance." Feilan replied, "Feihong has already made hot tea for the master, the master hastened to drink a warm cup. Let's warm up. It's already March and it's still so cold, Concubine Zhang Jiashu had a cold a while ago."

"You're nagging more and more." An He joked with Feilan with a smile, turned around and saw the prince leading a few older brothers to greet her, but there were still no elder brothers and third elder brothers. Not to mention the eighth elder brother.She glanced at the fourth elder brother who seemed to be dazed forever, Hexi's fifth elder brother, and the gentle and honest seventh elder brother, and said with a smile, "Go and sit down, the door is cold."

"Er Niang, the sixth brother ate up all the crispy crisps!" Yin'e came over to complain when he saw An He, "Er Niang ordered someone to make it for me."

"There's still the kitchen, so why not let your brother go." An He patted Yin'er's head.

This dim sum was eaten by the two children in Jiangning during their southern tour last year, and they both liked it very much.An He simply asked someone for the recipe, let the people in the small kitchen think about it, and finally copied this dessert perfectly.Now every time Yinzuo comes back, he has to "snatch" with Yin'e. Anhe still can't understand the way of expressing affection between their brothers.

Yin'er just complained, he knew that his brother was working hard at school every day, so what's the point of giving him a plate of snacks.Yin'e smiled and held An He's hand, Erniang's hand was so soft and comfortable, it was so nice to have Erniang rubbing her head, Brother Six can't enjoy it anymore when he is so old.

An He sat down on the couch and saw a few elder brothers whispering together, just picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, when the prince came over with a rare restraint and shyness on his face.She smiled lightly, and probably thought of the reason for the Prince's situation, so she asked someone to bring him milk tea, and said with a smile, "Does the Prince want to ask something?"

"The imperial concubine's mother can probably guess it, right?" The prince rarely scratched his face shyly, "Although I know the origins of those girls' families, I don't know much about their character."

"The empress dowager herself is the best in the eyes of the prince. Today I saw that I have different personalities, but they are all good." An He turned her beautiful eyes, "Especially the daughter of Dutong Pengchun and the third-class uncle Shi Wenbingzhi Girl, I am very satisfied to see the Empress Dowager."

Dong E, the daughter of Pengchun, and Guerjia, the daughter of Shi Wenbing, the prince lowered his eyes slightly, but he kept recalling the family background and connections of the two families, and he probably had an understanding in his heart.Except for Hua Shan, who is a bit incongruous and Shuo's son-in-law, the rest of the Shi family are all available talents. After thinking about it, I found that although the Shi family might not be as powerful as the Tong family in the court, there were not many officials released outside. Shao is a talented person from the Shi family.

"Thank you, Concubine." The prince thought about it, his face was slightly red, he raised his eyes and said to An He with a smile, "Today, Khan Ama told me that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager will probably be honored soon. The Empress Dowager will go to Mongolia once, and the younger brothers will go out with her, the imperial concubine mother will help them prepare their luggage in due course."

"The crown prince has informed you." An He nodded slightly.

Kangxi has recently liked the days of traveling out of Beijing, but the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have been away from Mongolia for so many years, so it is understandable to serve them when they go back to see.Besides, the Eldest Princess will be sixteen this year, so it's time to meet her forehead.Marriage between Manchu and Mongolia is an old custom, and the princess of the Qing Dynasty is no exception. The relationship between the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia is closely related to pro-Mongolia, and no one can escape.

At the end of March, Kangxi issued a decree to prepare for a tour of Mongolia.This time, An He did not get the qualification to accompany the driver. Instead, Concubine Tong Gui traveled with him, Concubine Yi, Concubine Wen, Concubine Zhang Jia and Concubine Borzigit accompanied him.None of the elder brothers was left behind, and ministers such as Suo'etu, Nalan Mingzhu, Tong Guogang, Tong Guowei, etc. also went on tour together.

An He didn't care much about not getting the accompanying driver quota this time. After all, Concubine Tong Guifei was just recovering from a serious illness, and it was no big deal for Kangxi to take her out to relax. What's more, even though it was a move, the degree of freedom was no different from that in the palace. Why bother to follow the boats and cars?Compared with those concubines who were sad and depressed because they couldn't accompany them, An He properly prepared the luggage for the two sons, and didn't take the matter of not being able to go out with him at all to heart.

"The master is calm. I heard that many concubines lost their souls after they knew that they couldn't accompany them." Feihong put down a few plates of snacks by An He's hand, "Now I am waiting for the emperor to change his mind and send them away." Take it with you too."

"Since the emperor has made a decree, it means that the Sacred Heart has been decided. Instead of hoping that the emperor will miss them again, it is better to live in peace." An He took a sip of tea and said calmly, "There is nothing wrong with Yuan."

"No, since the emperor's decree has been issued until now, it has been calm and uneventful. I heard that she has been copying scriptures in her side hall recently, which is quite different from her impetuous temper before." Feihong replied.

"Master, there is good news from the Yonghe Palace, and Empress Debi is happy." Feilan came in and replied softly.

An He took Kangxi's daily life note and looked through it, and found that Kangxi stayed in Yonghe Palace and Chengqian Palace more recently, so it's no wonder Debi got married so soon.The concubine de concubine is also one of the concubines who can give birth in the palace, but except for the fourth elder brother, the three consecutive children are princesses.An He said: "Just tell the people from the Tai Hospital to be more careful. The concubine De is also an experienced person, and she understands things that should be avoided. In addition, pick some auspicious things and send them to the Yonghe Palace. There is no need to send the first class for the time being.”

"Yes."

Such good news came from the Yonghe Palace just before leaving the palace, and the other concubines in the palace felt even more uncomfortable, especially Kangxi also went to Yonghe Palace to visit the concubine De, and stayed at the concubine Cheng at night, so that those who were looking forward to Kangxi's departure Let's see how many veils their concubines have torn.

An He just shook his head slightly after listening to Madam Wanyan's reply.Put down the needle and thread in your hand, use scissors to cut off the thread ends, and a gown is ready.An He asked Wanyan Mama to put it away, and said: "This is for Yinxuan, Madam will send it to Elder Brother's office tomorrow; I also put away the ones that were made for Yin'e before, so they should be ready for them when they go out." use."

"Yes." Seeing that An He was not affected at all, Wanyan Mama quickly responded after letting out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she has two sons, unlike other concubines who have no one to rely on.

Kangxi's trip seemed to take away the impetuous atmosphere in the palace. Without the man worth fighting for, the women in the harem also temporarily suppressed their restless thoughts, huddled in their respective palaces and refused to go out easily.The weather is getting warmer day by day, as if the warm and cold days before were just a dream, An He put on the spring clothes sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with a thin quilt on her feet, hugging Twelve Elder Brothers and coaxing her He was walking on the couch with the table removed.

Kangxi gave the name of the twelfth elder brother from the Wanliuha family Yinfen, and it is said that the name of the thirteenth elder brother from the Zhang Jia family has also been decided, and will only be given after the child is one year old.Yinfen looks more like Wanliu Hashi, with calm and delicate features, and he already vaguely calls "Er Niang" and "Ama".

"Master, Concubine Rong is here."

"Please come in quickly." An He lifted the thin quilt on his legs and asked Feiqing to put it away, and said after putting on his shoes.

Concubine Rong came here with her three princesses.The third princess is also fourteen this year. She is wearing a rose-red flag dress embroidered with hundreds of butterflies and flowers, and a pink and purple pipa breasted vest. She looks very similar to Concubine Rong when she smiles, and she has a bright temper. It's no wonder that Kangxi loves this daughter so much.

"It's no wonder you're being lazy." Concubine Rong joked with a smile after sitting down, "I said today that I don't need concubines to come to you to say hello, I thought you were sick, so why don't you just come over to see you .”

"It's not that I'm sick, it's just that I'm impatient to see the sour and jealous looks of those people below, not to mention that they may not have come to greet me sincerely, so it's better not to see me." An He asked Feihong to serve tea, "Long time no see The third princess is better than before, after all, we are all old at the age of flowers and jade."

"Nonsense, I'm not old." Concubine Rong said with a smile, "I called her to accompany me to have dinner today, thinking that you might find it boring in the palace, so I decided to come and see you together. Noon This meal will be at your place, I have been obsessed with your kitchen skills for a long time."

"What's the matter, if my sister likes to eat, she will come here often." An He hugged Yinyi, and seeing that the third princess was very curious about this younger brother who had never met, she said gently, "This is Wanliu Hachang. You haven't seen the twelve elder brothers and the third princess before?"

"No, the twelfth brother is still young, and he was not able to attend the birthdays of Khan Ama, Mama Uku and Mamo before, but this is the first time I see him today." The third princess replied generously, "You are so cute. Just like those lucky boys in the painting." After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to gently touch Yinlin's clenched fist, and exclaimed, "It's so soft and slippery!"

Both An He and Concubine Rong laughed out loud, the third princess blushed slightly, twisted her handkerchief and lowered her head.

"Children are like this, soft and fragrant." An He said with a smile, "It's rare that my sister brings the third princess here. I don't know what the third princess likes to eat on weekdays, so I just tell the small kitchen to cook."

"I don't have anything to like, the imperial concubine can eat according to her own taste." The third princess replied softly.

"I'm getting shy now." Concubine Rong laughed, "It's better to have Qixiang Palace, which is quiet and peaceful. Unlike my place, where the emperor has gone out of the palace, they are still chattering endlessly, and even Concubine Tong Shu has made arrangements Yeah, it's giving me a headache."

"My sister is the head of the Yanxi Palace, I don't like them gossiping behind their backs like this, just say it." An He handed Yin who was about to fall asleep to the wet nurse, "Since their mouths are broken, they will be punished by copying the palace rules. Ten times, reciting the palace rules fifty times will save them from being exhausted."

"Your trick is really powerful." Concubine Rong kept it in her heart, and felt that An He's proposal was a good one.

"The emperor hates the concubines who gossip behind their backs the most. This is for their own good, lest the emperor find out that he is unhappy when he comes back, and it would be more harm than good to neglect them." An He took a sip of the Junshan silver needle, "Sister said yes .”

"of course."

The third princess listened to it, and silently remembered it in her heart.It will be a later story when An He finds out that the third princess's mansion also implemented such a punishment method of copying and endorsement.
