Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Dynasty

"What are you looking at so engrossed, the candles are dimmed and you don't ask the people around you to change them." Just as An He was carefully studying the in-laws of several girls' families, he suddenly heard Kangxi's voice behind him.Glancing at Hu Po and the others with lowered brows, she knew that Kangxi had come to secretly inquire about this again.She quickly stood up, waved her handkerchief and saluted.

"The emperor always likes to be so silent. The queen mother said that this time she will choose Fujin for Yinxuan, so the servant is looking for a suitable candidate." An He said it aboveboard, which is a very normal thing.After letting Tourmaline make tea, she said again, "There are so many outstanding ladies this year, and the servants are all blinded by it. Why don't the emperor help us to look at each other."

Kangxi raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect An He to speak so directly.He took a few sheets of paper in front of An He and glanced quickly, and the first thing he put down was Xilin Jueluo's information.From Kangxi's point of view, it's okay for this girl to be Yinzuo's concubine, but the family background is a bit lower for the main room.Probably because he had a mutual understanding with An He, he also took a fancy to Sitara. She, Amasule, was a low-key person but safe in doing things, and she didn't form cliques for personal gain. She was a good person.

"This one is not bad." Kangxi put the information about Sitara's family on top, "I have time to call her to you to talk and see her temperament."

"The emperor has a very good vision." An He smiled lightly, "This servant actually fell in love with this girl."

"It's not convenient for Yinxuan to be served by Gege." Kangxi took a sip of tea, "I plan to give him a few more caring concubines. There is also Xilin Jueluo, whose father is the Imperial Academy Jijiu Although her family background and official position are not high, she is still capable, so let her be given to Yinxuan as a concubine."

"The emperor is the one who decides." In this era, how many people can say that there are a couple in a generation, and there are many women in the backyard of my son.An He lowered his eyes, "The Emperor is thinking about Yinxuan's marriage, and don't forget about Fifth Elder Brother. Concubine Yi is also busy seeing other people these days, and the Emperor should also give advice to Concubine Yi."

She remembered that in history, the fifth elder brother's Di Fujin was from the Ta Lala clan of the fifth-rank member Wailang's family. This background was really low, and she didn't know if it was because of this, so the fifth elder brother and Wu Fujin had no relationship in history. Sincerely, Wu Fujin never gave birth to a child from the fifth eldest brother.

"Concubine Yi is quick-witted, she told me about it a long time ago." Kangxi said with a smile, "I always knew she was impatient, and this time is no exception."

"It's all about my son's marriage, can you not be impatient? The slaves are also confused, and they finally picked these people out." I am afraid that the uncle in front of me thinks that she is trying to attract people for Yinxuan, and I am worried that the prince will think that When Yinxuan grows up, he needs to develop his own network. After finally choosing the right one, he has to think about whether it suits his son's eyes. It seems easy during this time, but Anhe is thinking about it even in his sleep. Son.

"Now that the princess is pregnant, it's time for the prince to choose a few talents." Kangxi was aroused by An He's sentence "It's all about his son's marriage", and he began to distract himself while holding the teacup. The original gift There are two concubine rooms, one loves to make trouble and is neglected by the prince, and the other is not favored at all. Seeing that after the prince understands people, Yuqing Palace only has a concubine elder brother, and Kangxi himself is anxious to embrace his grandson.

An He didn't talk to her either, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were always in charge of the Yuqing Palace's affairs, and these concubines made a lot of mistakes.

Sitara looked at herself in the mirror, hesitated for a moment, and took off the red gold beaded hairpin that was just on the hair bun, and replaced it with a simple and elegant silver hairpin with a magnolia flower head.Today is the imperial concubine and empress of Qixiang Palace summoning her, so she has to wake up her spirits.Although Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi and Concubine Cheng had summoned her before, this time it was different.She remembered that her Ama said that the sixth elder brother was born of the noble concubine Niu Hulu, and he had won the sacred heart since he was a child. Now he is learning the court affairs from the prince, and in the future he is bound to hold more power than the other elder brothers.Brother Six is ​​about the same age as her, so the meaning of this summoning is self-evident.

Taking a deep breath, Mrs. Sitara walked out following the father-in-law sent by Qixiang Palace holding the handkerchief, without noticing the envious and slightly jealous eyes of the beautiful girls behind her.

The girl saluting below was very well-behaved. An He glanced at her, and her appearance was also very suitable for the type of daughter-in-law that Kangxi looked at.A good wife, Kangxi likes to choose a wife for his son, and he likes to look for girls with oval faces and almond eyes, who feel blessed when they look at them; while the concubines are mostly beautiful, slender and graceful.

"Let's get up." An He nodded secretly, very satisfied with Sitara's rules, "Pearl, bring me a soft stool."

"Thank you for your seat." Sitara's eyes were not squinted, she didn't look left and right, her slightly raised face was full of seriousness, but her eyes were half down, and she didn't directly meet An He's scrutinizing eyes.This is also what the mother in the palace said, don't just look directly at the master in the palace, otherwise it will be disrespectful.

"Don't be so nervous, I just asked you to talk." An He saw that Xi Tara's back was straight and his hands were still twisting Luopa, and he smiled softly, "Chuxiu Palace Mammy said that you are very well behaved and see you reading poems and books from time to time, so you must be talented."

"I can't bear the praise of the empress, but I just read a few books." Sitara pursed her lips, and relaxed her shoulders a little, "Because the servant's Ama works in the Ministry of Rites, the servant's ears and eyes are affected by it. I have also studied, but I have no attainments in poetry, let alone talent."

The two chatted for a while, before An He smiled with satisfaction. Regardless of whether Sitara was really humble or something else, she really couldn't find anything wrong with her conversation.What the first wife of the first wife wants is this kind of ability to advance and retreat. When going out to deal with others, she must neither be timid nor arrogant, otherwise she will be the one who will lose face.An He doesn't like girls who are hypocritical like dodder flowers, and she doesn't like girls who are stupid and insist on kicking before moving. If you are in charge, you should have your own ideas and attitudes, and you should not be arrogant or impetuous. The Xita in front of you Rashi is pretty good.

"You can talk." An He asked Jinxiu to take out a set of pearl tortoiseshell hair masks, "I still have something to do here, so I can't keep you. This hair mask is for you. You should dress well when you are young."

"Thank you for your reward." Sitara's tense nerves finally relaxed, took the brocade box from Jinxiu with both hands, and took a few steps back before turning around and leaving. This was also a way of showing respect.

"Master, is it settled?" Jinxiu asked after watching Sitara's figure walk away.

"It's okay to look at it like this, but there are still ten days, let's take a closer look." An He took a sip of rose honeydew, "Hui Concubine has taken a fancy to Wang, and has already told the Queen Mother that she will give it to her." Eighth brother. I haven't inquired much about Wang's, how is her temperament?"

"I heard that she is well-behaved, but she is older than the eighth elder brother." Jinxiu replied, "The concubine Yi fell in love with Wen Du, the daughter of the Zuodu censor's family of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the concubine Cheng fell in love with her." Nalashi, the daughter of Faka, the deputy governor, has been summoned frequently in the past few days, and I am afraid that the emperor also nodded in agreement."

"Wendu's temperament is pure and good, and he is a good match with the fifth elder brother; Nala's, I have heard from Madam Wuku, has a somewhat delicate temper. Why did Concubine Cheng take a fancy to her?" An He frowned. .Seventh elder brother has a disability and a gentle temper, so he doesn't look good with this Nalashi.It's not that it's not that Concubine Cheng doesn't know her son's personality, so why did she summon such a girl?

"I heard that the concubine Cheng had a crush on the Shu Mulu family, but the emperor mentioned the Nala family to the concubine Cheng, so he changed his mind."

It turned out to be Kangxi's bad idea.An He shook his head lightly and stopped making further comments.

The last hall selection, Anhe, watched the whole process.Unsurprisingly, Xitara's, Xilinjueluo's, Wendu's and others all left signs.Kangxi pointed out two Ge Gelin and Tang clans to the prince, and each added a serving Ge Ge to several older brothers. Finally, he bestowed marriages on the sons who were about to get married, and they were bestowed by the main wife and concubine together.

In addition to giving Wendu, the daughter of Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, to the fifth elder brother, he also pointed out Yuanwailang Talala as his concubine.This Lala clan went around a circle and became a member of the backyard; the daughter of Su Le, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, married the sixth elder brother, and at the same time Xilinjueluo, the daughter of Guozijian Jijiu Obai, was the sixth elder brother's concubine; Nalashi, the daughter of Tongfaka, is the wife of the seventh elder brother, and Nalashi, the daughter of the sixth-rank chief shepherd Han Chuhan, is the concubine of the seventh elder brother.At the same time, he pointed out the daughter of Dianyi Alpha to the eighth elder brother as a concubine.

"Did Concubine Tong's cousin put down the sign?" An He was only thinking about Yinxuan's wedding, but forgot about it.

"This Hesheli family has been estranged from the lineage of the previous auxiliary ministers. Concubine Tong has been favored so much recently, so it is natural to comply with her wishes. I heard that the two families have agreed on the date of marriage. We should get married in a few months." Jinxiu replied, "Why is Master so interested?"

"I heard that Concubine Tong's younger brother has a temperament comparable to that of the old Ling'a. I just want to see what kind of woman can control him." The fate of the concubine's abuse is that her aunt, Madam Tong, is partial to her son's willingness to do nothing to save her, and even her own son-in-law dare not stand up for her.

"Fifth Master's temperament has changed, so why should the master compare them?" Jinxiu said with a smile, "I heard that the emperor proposed marriage to the sixth elder brother, and the third wife has already handed over the sign, explaining that my son will enter the palace to tell the empress. Congratulations."

"Finally, it's time for the fourth sibling to give birth, pack up the things I prepared earlier, and I'll ask the third sibling to take them out tomorrow." An He counted the time silently, turned his head and ordered.

"Yes."

Thinking of Yinxuan who had been married once after the gift of marriage, An He also had a smile on his face.It's been a long time since I saw my son who was originally stable and blushing. If it wasn't for her daughter waking up and clamoring to find her and allowing Yinzuo to find a chance to ask An to leave, she would definitely continue to tease him.When they get married in August next year, Yinzuo will formally enter the imperial court as an official, so let's hope that his son will have a smooth journey.
