Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Dynasty

"The [-]th elder brother from Wang Guiren will be a hundred days old tomorrow. Master, let's see which clothes to wear to the Yongshou Palace." Fei Qing led Shan Shan and Hu Po into the room, and the three of them held a pair of glasses in their hands. On the tray, there were light purple, water blue, and crimson quilted cloaks, all of which were newly tailored from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

An He glanced at it, picked out the light purple one with embroidered begonia flowers, and said, "Your Wang's pregnancy is a little dangerous, and the imperial doctor told him to rest well. Brother Sixteen can't be kept by your side. Tomorrow When you go to the Yongshou Palace, you should inquire more and find out who the emperor prefers to raise the sixteenth elder brother, but don't go over and gossip with the people below, lest people think that the people in our palace have no rules and no distance .”

"I'll save it for you, servant." Fei Qing responded bluntly, "The longevity lock that I ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make earlier has also been sent. The servant looks like a very good symbol of luck. Where do you want to put it, master?"

"Put it together with tomorrow's congratulatory gift, let's send it over together." An He said lazily while holding the stove, "Your Majesty Wang has become more and more blessed, and the emperor's reward after giving birth to the sixteenth elder brother is almost as good as This time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not dare to slack off. I heard that this long-lived lock is for Elder Sixteen, and it was built in a few days. If it were for someone else's hands and feet, how could it be possible? So diligent?"

"The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are used to watching the dishes, so why should the master bother." Feiqing asked someone to exchange a cup of hot tea for An He, "There is news from outside that Concubine Liu Shu is seriously ill and is just suffering. Tong The concubine deliberately changed several imperial physicians for her, but none of them improved."

It is said that the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs watch the dishes off the plate, so why not the people in the Taiyuan Hospital.Concubine Liu Shu was born under the Five Banners of the Han Army, and her family is far away in northern Shaanxi. The monthly salary in the palace is not enough to cover all expenses, not to mention that she has lost her sacred heart now, and the palace has many enemies. Is there any imperial doctor? Dare to really treat her, most of them are procrastinating by prescribing mild and harmless medicine.An He took a sip of tea and said, "Since Concubine Tong is in charge of her, we don't have to worry about it. I've never been familiar with Mrs. Liu, so it's not suitable for me to send anything there, but I can't ignore it. Pearl , you can condole for me."

This door-to-door visit is also knowledgeable. Feiqing and Jinxiu are Anhe's aunts who have been in charge for many years. Compared with the two aunts in charge, she and the big palace maid beside her are still far behind, not to mention that they came to the door empty-handed this time.Pearl on one side smiled slightly, and understood what her master meant, so she responded with a smile.

"Master is busy with Sixth Elder Brother's marriage, so naturally I can't spare time." Feiqing said, "Concubine Liu Shu also knows about it, so naturally she can understand Master."

An He glanced at Fei Qing with a smile in his eyes, took the miscellaneous notes aside and began to read slowly.

After a year, Wang Gui was liberated from the state of rest, and rejoined the ranks of the brigade for favor. During the election in 33, the Kangxi harem only accepted two newcomers, and both of them were concubines of no rank, one surnamed Niu Hulu and the other surnamed Ning, and they are now being favored.This Niu Hulu family has nothing to do with An He's family, but a girl from a distant branch. She was selected into the palace because she was born well, and lived in the side hall of Changchun Palace.She also went to Qixiang Palace to greet An He, but An He was busy arranging the sixth brother's wedding room at that time, and only said a few words to her before toasting the guests.Now Concubine Niu Hulu seems to be favored, and she is proud and arrogant, but she is not very close to An He.

"Master has to change clothes, otherwise it will be late." Jinxiu stretched out her hand to help An He up, "Today is a good day for Brother Six, so don't let it be too late."

Under the cloak embroidered with carmine pink and purple hazel peonies was a pink petticoat and moon-white silk trousers. An He changed her clothes and sat in front of the vanity mirror, letting Jinxiu pull her long hair into a shelf.Yinxuan asked Gu Si to give him a jade-studded red agate crested head Bu Yao, saying that it was for An He to wear on his wedding night, so naturally she would not reject her son's wishes.In addition, she brought a pair of gold-encrusted jeweled squirrel hairpins, and a few clusters of beaded flowers on the hair bun. She wore gilt emerald flower basket earrings on her ears, and put two green jade on her wrists. Bracelets, this is her rare and luxurious dress in recent years.

"Master looks really good dressed up like this." Jinxiu flattered with a smile, and asked Tourmaline to bring a cloak, "It's still a bit chilly at night, so put it on, master."

Looking at the Western clock in the house, seeing that it was almost time, An Hecai said: "Let Tourmaline and Amber follow today, and you all take a good look at Qixiang Palace. Yuan Guiren is not in danger, and Concubine Zhang Shu has a cough again. Someone needs to be taken care of." It’s here to take care of it.”

"Your servant knows." Jinxiu nodded in response.

The sedan chair outside was ready, An He got up, took the two maids and went to elder brother's place.

An He thought she was the first to arrive, but she didn't expect that someone was faster than her, but it was Concubine Niu Hulu who had just entered the palace.Seeing her talking to Ge Gelin who was beside Yinxuan, An He squinted her eyes slightly. Even Xilin Jue Luo knew that she couldn't come to the front main courtyard at will tonight, and this Lin was careless.Yinxuan is currently welcoming his relatives outside the palace, Xilin Jueluo is hiding in the backyard, Gu Si is busy with the final verification, no wonder she is so unscrupulous.

"Greetings to the imperial concubine and empress." Concubine Niu Hulu's eyes were sharp, and with a glance of her eyebrows, she saw An He's figure, and quickly knelt down to salute.

Lin was a little caught off guard, her face turned red and then pale, and she followed suit.

"Didn't you say that Yinxuan ordered people not to set foot in the backyard at will? Why did you run out?" An He said casually, his eyes wandered around Lin's body, and her back was sweating profusely. risk.

"Servant, servant is just thinking to see if I can help you..." At the end, Lin himself was also weak.

"Today is a good day for Yinxuan, and I don't want to ruin my good mood at this time." An He walked to his seat and sat down, watching Gu Si bring a few young eunuchs over, and said, "will Mrs. Lin is bound to go back and lock her up, and make plans after Liu Fujin enters the door."

"Hey." Gu Si can't wait to kill Lin with his eyes, what are you doing out here at the sixth brother's big wedding banquet, if nothing else, the sixth brother will be furious when he finds out.And that Concubine Niu Hulu, who said that she is still the aunt of the sixth elder brother, she is ashamed to point fingers in the elder brother's office, the concubine and empress do not have as many things as you!Gu Si was thinking in his heart that he would definitely talk to Sixth Brother tomorrow.

Niu Hulu could only feel An He's gaze lingering on her body for a while, her complacent head woke up instantly, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead in the cold evening.She opened her mouth and didn't know what to say, the imperial concubine neither asked her to greet her nor reprimanded her, she completely ignored her existence.Hearing the bustling footsteps outside, she raised her eyes to look at An He pitifully, and the appearance of wanting to speak and tears first made the man feel distressed when he saw it.

"Whether this elder brother should be in charge of the concubine concubine should know well, don't think that you have some relationship with me, so I dare not touch you." An He bent slightly and looked at Niu Hulu. , said softly, "Believe it or not, no one outside knows that I killed you?" Seeing the change in Niu Hulu's expression, she sat up straight, "Get up, my son's good life is not suitable for the time being." See blood."

Niu Hulu shook her body and nearly fell, but Bixi supported her and said, "Concubine Shu is probably not in good health, so I will help you to sit for a while."

Not many people knew about this episode. Those who were interested only found that Concubine Niu Hulu was anxious and uneasy all night, and her cautious appearance was really confusing.

Sitara looked at the front of the vanity mirror for a long time, and after confirming that the makeup was correct, he was relieved, and asked someone to take out the sewing work he had done, put on flowerpot shoes, and followed Yinzuo to board the sedan chair for the empress dowager Say hello to the imperial concubine.Kangxi is still in court, and he can only see him after the next court.

"Don't worry, you have met Er Niang before." Yinzuo comforted her softly.The clothes, belt and purse on his body today are all stitched by Sitara himself. The material is comfortable and soft, the size of the clothes is also suitable, and the stitches are also tight and careful. It can be seen that a lot of effort has been spent.He is very satisfied with this.

When she got off the sedan chair outside the gate of Qixiang Palace, Sitara's hand tightened, and she saw Yinxuan walking in holding her hand.Her face flushed slightly, but her heart was as sweet as eating honey.The concubine, Xilin Jueluo, she had already inquired about outside the palace. She has a pure and gentle temperament, which is very popular with the sixth master and the imperial concubine. If she is not as good as Xilin Jueluo, then she is just a famous child, and now It seems that Liu Ye is very satisfied with her.

An He looked at Yinxuan and Sitara who kowtowed to him below, and the smile on the corner of his mouth never fell.After asking someone to move soft stools for the two children, she said with a smile: "Now that you have officially married, you should live a good life with Xian Ting in the future. Let Xian Ting take care of elder brother's affairs."

Xianting is the boudoir name of the Sitara family.After Fujin entered the door, he naturally had to take over the housework, and Sitara did not pretentiously evade it, and said bluntly: "Emiang thinks highly of a daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law should take care of the rear house for the master." The needlework I brought along with me, "This is the purse and forehead wipes that my daughter-in-law made for my mother-in-law at home in her spare time, and a few handkerchiefs. Although it is not comparable to the craftsmanship of the mother-in-law of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is also a kindness of the daughter-in-law. Please accept it with a smile."

"It looks good to me." An He asked Jinxiu to hand it over, "Whether the needlework has a meaning or not, she really is a girl with ingenuity."

Sitara raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Because the time was almost up, Yinxuan and Xi Tara had to go to pay Kangxi greetings, and Anhe didn't keep them any longer, but only asked them to come over for lunch and then sent them to Qianqing Palace.

"Brother Six already knows about Lin's affairs, I'm afraid there will be news later." Jinxiu said softly.

"My son has an idea in his heart, and Sitara's family looks stable. I feel relieved when she looks at what my elder brother said." An He said, "Go and ask, the girl in the side hall of Changchun Palace last night What exactly did you tell Lin?"

"Yes."
