Miss Tong Er is only 15 years old. She was raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child. She embroiders flowers and makes grass on weekdays. She has never been exposed to wind and frost swords. Over the neck?
The one who pointed the sword at her was the cousin of the emperor whom she yearned for so much, Ama, who speaks Chinese and teaches martial arts, the emperor who sits in the world!
The cold touch brings the taste of death, as if the skin will be cut open in the next second, and the blood will splatter three feet without mercy.She trembled all over, a scream stuck in her throat, and she could no longer hear other words clearly, her almond eyes were closed tightly, and she was about to faint.
After being frightened and angry, he was able to take a closer look, and Kangxi finally saw clearly the woman in front of him who looked like Empress Xiaokangzhang.
She was too immature, her mind was too shallow, and she didn't learn the slightest charm of Er Niang. Even if she looked alike, he would never mistake her for it.
Recalling the shy and affectionate eyes just now, Kangxi clenched the hilt of the sword tightly, with blue veins on his forehead, and ordered his left and right with a dark and sullen face: "This kind of meticulous work, dare to offend the Queen Mother, take her down quickly—"
After experiencing the concubine's invitation to pet, Kangxi almost had a psychological shadow, and he was extremely disgusted with the concubine who inquired about the whereabouts of Shengjia and pretended to meet in the palace.
The person in front of him ignited his anger even more, and it was nothing more than audacity to sneak into the imperial garden, and even tried to seduce him with a beauty trick!
The more similar this face looks, the more blasphemy it is to Er Niang.
Want to arouse his nostalgia and pity for Er Niang, so as to bring this secret work of unknown origin into the harem?Is it the remnants of the Anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty, or the revenge of the Zheng family?
For a moment, all kinds of conspiracy theories flashed through the emperor's mind. He squinted his phoenix eyes and looked at Miss Tong Er's gaze, which was no different from looking at a dead person.
Careful work?won?
The second girl, Ru Yue, was so frightened that she burst into tears, almost incontinent, trembling and speechless.There is only one thought in my heart, run away... Ama save me, Er Niang save me...
Yunxiu was stunned for a long while, only to feel that the scene in front of him was extremely absurd, and suddenly he was speechless, not knowing what to say.
Although the second girl of the Tong family appeared rashly, it's not right. How could the emperor's reaction be so violent?
The first time I saw little Tong Jia in the dream, it wasn't from the Imperial Garden, nor from this time, but from entering the palace two years later.
Ba Gege, born to the imperial concubine, died when she was less than one year old. After that, her body collapsed suddenly, and she never got better after drinking medicine.When she was lingering on the sick bed, the imperial concubine thought over and over again, and begged the emperor for grace to let her sister come to the palace to accompany her... It was under such circumstances that Little Tong Jia met the emperor.
She entered the palace as a concubine and enjoyed the treatment of a concubine. One month later, she was conferred the title of concubine. Although the canonization ceremony was not performed, the emperor said clearly that Concubine Tong was no different from the fourth concubine of Huiyi Derong.
In the 39th year of Kangxi, little Tong Jia's family was in her early thirties, and she was registered as the noble concubine of Chengqian Palace, commanding the Six Palaces.She is much younger than the fourth concubine, but when it comes to palace affairs, the fourth concubine is nothing more than an assistant.
Apart from being childless, little Tong Jia's family has lived a prosperous life and enjoyed enough blessings.
Although she was not favored, but because she was similar to Empress Xiaokangzhang, the emperor respected and loved her enough to give her supreme honor; similarly, because of her relationship with Empress Xiaoyi, and Longkodo's dealings with her, the fourth elder brother did not care about her. Forgot to pay filial piety to the Chengqian Palace, and on weekdays, he also sincerely respected little Tong Jia.
Yunxiu remembered very clearly that after little Tong Jia entered the palace, the imperial concubine once sighed to her that no matter how much the concubines in the harem competed, they could not compete with the women of the Tong family.
They don't have to do anything, and they have high positions and honors, rich clothes... Niu Gulu's family, Guo Luoluo's family, and even the prince's mother's Hesheli family are incomparable.
Look, the emperor named his sister Empress Xiaoyi, and after that, he made offerings to her, and did not allow anyone to disrespect her.Even if the Empress Dowager doesn't like little Tong Jiashi, she has nothing to do with the Emperor protecting her face.
It was the empress dowager who revealed this to Yinqi, otherwise, she would have been kept in the dark all her life.
Even if the imperial concubine sighs like this, why isn't the concubine Yi in the dream not jealous?
As early as when the imperial concubine lost power, Yunxiu had expected little Tong Jia's entry into the palace, but she did not expect to meet her in the imperial garden today.
The only thought in his mind was that he had spent all his energy in vain, pressed his tired hands in vain, that Merlin would not be able to go shopping today.
Before she had time to regret, Yunxiu took the time to watch the development of the situation quietly, but the emperor didn't play cards according to common sense, and smashed all her guesses in a simple and rude way.
Hearing Kangxi angrily scolded "Careful work", Yunxiu was stunned: "..."
How could a well-behaved, soft and weak girl become a meticulous work?
The imperial guards surrounding Shengjia had never seen Little Tong Jia, and they didn't know that she was the cousin of Lord Long Live. Hearing this, with a solemn face, they drew out their swords and were about to rush forward.
For a moment, Yunxiu didn't know whether to pity or laugh, coughed, and stopped quickly: "Your Majesty! Look carefully, this girl is fifteen or sixteen years old, and she entered the palace again today... The concubine looked very surprised. She looks familiar, if it's the second girl of the Tong family, she'll be of the right age."
Before Kangxi could withdraw his anger, he was stunned for a moment when he heard Yunxiu's words, his expression was rather stiff.
The second girl of the Tong family?
Another cousin I've never met?
He thought with a stiff face, so that's the case, if it's really the aunt and nephew, there is a reason why she looks like Er Niang...
But why did Tong Guowei hide it and not tell him about the resemblance? ?
Why did the second cousin act like that, not revealing her identity, but still trying to seduce him? !
Just a face-to-face meeting, the very similar positions of little Tong Jia and Pingpin, and the shy and timid demeanor immediately reminded Kangxi of the past and aroused his disgust.
Pretentious, Er Niang definitely wouldn't be like this.If she knows under the spring...
At this moment, no one knew about the storm that was raging in the emperor's heart, as if he had eaten a fly, his face turned green and pale.
Seeing him in a daze, Yunxiu rubbed her brows and reminded helplessly, "Your Majesty, why is this so? Your sword blade It's still on someone's neck."
Kangxi woke up like a dream, let go of the sword, put his hand behind his back, and waved majestically at the guard: "Back off."
The guard retreated behind him according to the words, Kangxi was silent for a while, restrained his anger, and glanced at the second girl who was limp on the ground: "Surname Tong Jia?"
Ru Yue shook her body, her face was covered with tears, she remained silent, she nodded subconsciously, her eyes were filled with fear that penetrated into the marrow of her bones.
Looking at it this way, she is not so similar to the young Er Niang, the emperor thought.
It is really that Ru Yue's frightened appearance is unsightly, it dilutes Kangxi's uneasiness in his heart, and he breaks away from the emotion of missing the Holy Mother and Empress Dowager, looking at her objectively and coldly, the more he looks at her, the more he feels strange
He was the one who was stunned just now, and preconceived the wrong person.
"...It was I who wronged you. Did you enter the palace with your aunt?" Kangxi sighed, pacing back and forth, his tone unrecognizable of joy and anger, "How could you appear in the Imperial Garden? There is no one behind you Follow me, I can't complain that I treat you as a fine work."
Yunqin: "..."
This preaching tone was exactly the same as that of her stern elder brother Xunmei, she was really convinced.
Seeing that Ru Yue was so frightened that she was dazed, her appearance was disheveled, her clothes and hair were covered with dust, Yunxiu rolled her eyes, and softly called out to the emperor: "The second girl was frightened by accident, no one expected it. It was too frightening. The emperor should send someone to take care of it, and make a pot of calming tea, so as to appease him..."
As for the matter of welcoming her into the harem, she had a premonition that this time, the Tong family's plan might not succeed.
As if he had found the steps, Kangxi hummed inscrutably, and looked at Yunxiu with tenderness in his eyes: "You are right."
Recalling Ru Yue's shy eyes, he couldn't help linking her with Concubine Ping, so he simply ignored her.
What do you think of him?A fool who wants to be brought into the harem after seeing his cousin? !
But she looks like this...
Kangxi stared at Miss Tong Er who was crying silently for a long time, his expression became more and more serious.
If there is no Royal Garden, he will not allow a woman who looks like Er Niang to marry someone else. The most likely thing is to take him under his wing to protect her. It is also good to remember Er Niang together.
Thinking of this, his face darkened again, his face was livid, and he entered the plum garden, Xueping Concubine... Was it her sister's order, or Tong Guowei's order, or the Tong family's order? !
The emperor ran into Miss Tong Er in the imperial garden. The second girl tore her clothes and asked Liang Jiugong to lead her to the side hall of the Qianqing Palace to change her clothes. The news quickly spread throughout the Forbidden City as if she had grown legs.
In an instant, the harem trembled. Just now a royal concubine fell, and another little Tong Jia came?
Because Yunxiu was present, he must know some inside information, half of the people looked at Yikun Palace, but no one dared to come to ask for confirmation.For those young masters, Yifei's domineering and domineering situation is vivid in their minds. It's too late for them to hide, so how can they come forward to ask for trouble?
The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager found out about it not long after.
The two empress dowagers had no ill feeling toward the deceased Empress Dowager, and were even grateful to her for giving birth to the emperor, but they did not have such an attitude towards the Tong family.
Especially today - my sister has made a big mistake, the emperor is kind enough to allow my sister to visit the palace, but she still appears in the imperial garden, what is An's mind, who doesn't understand? !
Hearing that Kangxi had brought people to the side hall of Qianqing Palace, the Empress Dowager couldn't help feeling a little worried: "The little Tong Jia has grown up to be a fairy, and I can't persuade Concubine Yi to accompany her? The emperor should not be confused!"
In the dream, when Miss Tong Er entered the palace, the Empress Dowager was no longer there.It's very different now. After receiving the news, the Empress Dowager leaned on her crutches and knocked the ground loudly: "...he has a steelyard in his heart, so he won't be confused."
That's what she said, but the Empress Dowager had no idea.The concubines De and the nobles back then were all favored by virtue of their looks. If little Tong Jia's appearance was attractive, and she had bonds with the emperor and cousins, then it would be uncertain.
That's right, Concubine Yi couldn't persuade her, could it be that she really looked like a fairy?
"Su Ma, go to Qianqing Palace." The Empress Dowager sighed, "But I don't know, the face of the Ai family will not matter..."
Outside the palace, Tong Mansion.
On that side, Mrs. Tong hadn't left the palace yet, and Tong Guowei was summoned by the emperor, and Tong Guowei changed into a court dress and hurried into the Qianqing Palace.
Knowing that the second daughter was being repaired in the side hall, Tong Guowei was overjoyed, but also a little apprehensive. Is... the emperor's actions too fast?
He just told Ru Yue to go to the imperial garden when he has free time, no matter whether he has seen the emperor or not, it is good to familiarize himself with the layout.
Thinking of Ru Yue's appearance, his heart was determined, if the emperor went to the Imperial Garden on a whim...it is not impossible.
Unexpectedly, at the gate of Qianqing, the sedan chair of the prince will come oncoming.
Tong Guowei stopped, smiled lightly, and was about to salute, the crown prince cast a serious look on his face, and gave him a deep look, "Your Majesty Tong, I'm sorry. If I have something to ask to see Huang Ama, why don't you go together?"
Tong Guowei paused and quickly agreed.
Hearing that the prince asked to see him, Kangxi was slightly surprised, even though his complexion was dark, he still showed a smile: "Xuan."
After a long time, as soon as the prince entered the imperial study, tears accumulated in his eyes, and he choked up and said, "Huang Ama, have you forgotten the fourth and sixth brothers? They have been subjected to the imperial concubine, no, how much has Concubine Tong been tortured? The son still Please Huang Ama take it back!"
The author has something to say: Emperor: ? ? ?Is this how you see me?
The one who pointed the sword at her was the cousin of the emperor whom she yearned for so much, Ama, who speaks Chinese and teaches martial arts, the emperor who sits in the world!
The cold touch brings the taste of death, as if the skin will be cut open in the next second, and the blood will splatter three feet without mercy.She trembled all over, a scream stuck in her throat, and she could no longer hear other words clearly, her almond eyes were closed tightly, and she was about to faint.
