Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the edict says... Qinzai!" The officials of the Ministry of Rites finished reading the imperial decree and put away the imperial decree four feet long and one foot wide behind the screen, and said to the eighteen flowers and birds on the gold nanmu screen: "Please accept the imperial concubine." Purpose."

An old eunuch wearing sea pattern came out from behind the screen. The officials of the Ministry of Rituals knew that this was a high-grade eunuch in charge, so they handed the imperial decree to him. The eunuch held the imperial decree and retreated behind the screen. Someone immediately shouted, " The imperial concubine and empress thank you for your kindness."

The officials of the Ministry of Rites handed over the gold seals of the treasure book to the old eunuch one by one, and the ceremony was considered over.

The old eunuch who had just come forward to receive the imperial edict personally led people to send these officials out, and the incense table and screen were all removed.The maids quickly helped Tian Mi who was kneeling on the ground to get up.

Tian Mi was stepping on the bottom of the flower pot, wearing an expensive outfit, holding the hands of the two big maids, and was about to go back to the main hall to catch her breath, when the fourth elder brother ran over.

"Emiang, my son congratulated Emiang."

Tian Mi bent down, and the two strings hanging obliquely on her chest fell towards the beads. She touched the little boy's forehead with her hand, "We are happy together, Yinzhen, Erniang will go to give the old ancestor some time later." Xie En, you wait here for a while, and let's have a good meal to celebrate when the mother comes back."

The fourth elder brother Yinzhen nodded happily.

Tian Mi went back to the dormitory to change into lighter clothes. She had just recovered from a serious illness, and after jumping into the lake to save others a few days ago, her condition relapsed a bit. Now she is still weak and needs support when she walks.

At this time, Herring brought over a string of Chaozhu, "Niang Niang, this is a congratulatory gift from the Tong family, a whole string of Dongzhu Chaozhu."

Dongzhu is in the three eastern provinces, and it is a pearl produced in the land of Longxing. It is the most precious pearl here. Only queen mothers and emperors can use Dongzhu as court beads.

Tian Mi sighed, "This is something used by the empress. I am an imperial concubine and I have no guts to use it. Put it away and don't take it out in the future."

The six palace maids looked at each other and had no choice but to clean up the things. Tian Mi had no family in her previous life, so she gave her motherly love to the fourth elder brother.She also expected to have a good relationship with Sister Tong's natal family, but now she is a little uncertain.

Could the Tong family be too rampant?

Thinking about this question, when she went out, she ran into Eunuch Chen who was waiting for her. This old eunuch was Kangxi's biological mother, the eunuch left by Sister Tong's aunt. It is said that Kangxi played around with him on his back when he was young. , and now he is the eunuch in charge of Chengqian Palace.It was also he who had just received the order for the officials of the gift-giving department to go out.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor just sent a message that twenty-three days after ten days will be a good day, and I'm going to Chongshan to pray for rain, and I want you to bring Si elder brother to accompany you."

Tian Mi nodded, and the fourth elder brother who went out with her couldn't help asking: "Elder-in-law, will Er Niang's body be unbearable from long-distance fatigue?"

"There is an imperial doctor accompanying me, and this time I am going to the Yulu area. There are several famous doctors there who have a good reputation in the local area, and they also take my mother to see a doctor."

Even so, the fourth elder brother still didn't want Er Niang to be bumped around, so Kangxi came to have dinner at night, and the fourth elder brother couldn't help asking: "Are those famous doctors not as good as the imperial physicians in the palace? Why do you still go to them to treat Er Niang?" ?”

"Not all of them are willing to be recruited. This matter is too complicated, and you will understand it later."

As soon as Kangxi was perfunctory to his fourth son, he turned around and saw his cousin coming over with tea, "Why did you do it yourself? There are slaves, let's rest."

"It's not too heavy. Cousin, please drink tea." Tian Mi sat opposite Kangxi. Since she came here, she hasn't seen Kangxi a few times, but the other party has never treated her badly in terms of material, and sent all good things here. , Carefully taste this relationship, maybe there is a little bit of love, more of family affection.

Kangxi was very relaxed at the moment, he took a sip of tea leisurely, "Yinzhen is not young anymore, when I come back from outside this time, I will send him to elder brother's place, and it is time to go to school, and I will be a The virtuous king assists the prince. The master I chose for him is Gu Badai. He is knowledgeable and he is Yinzhen's chief master. He is respected for other poems and prose. , if I let Zhen know that you didn't study hard in the Shang's study, I will teach you later."

He also told Tian Mi, "Don't pamper him. Since ancient times, loving mothers have lost their children. Apart from basic necessities, don't interfere with him. There are masters outside who teach him how to study and how to behave. I, an Ama, will discipline him too. "

Tian Mi thought for a while, "Then he still needs his concubines to choose the manpower he uses now, and the other concubines can't control it anymore."

Kangxi nodded and drove the fourth elder brother away, he had something to say to Tian Mi.

"Several maids in the Qianqing Palace will be moved back to the harem. I have written their identities on paper. You can arrange where they live."

Li Dequan quickly handed a folded piece of paper to Qingyu, and Qingyu held it to Tian Mi.Only then did Tian Mi come to her senses, she thought to herself, this scumbag man, the east and west twelve palaces in the harem, except Chuxiu Palace, Jingren Palace and Jingyang Palace, are inhabited, and after removing his own Chengqian Palace, there are only eight palaces left. There are no more people, and you still eat wild food. Isn't it a disaster for you that there are not enough girls in the draft?

"Understood, turn around and see where I am free."

Kangxi came this time, in addition to arranging this, he also brought a lot of good things for Tian Mi, a one-foot-square box, five boxes full of jewelry, and a large box of books besides.According to Tian Mi's own interests, she would definitely put all these jewels in front of her and appreciate them one by one.If you want to follow Sister Tong's habit, you will definitely take out the book and look through it first.

Tian Mi thought that after Kangxi left, it would not be too late to take out these jewels and appreciate them slowly, so let's flip through the book first.

Asking someone to bring the box over, after Tian Mi opened the lid, she didn't forget to ask Kangxi next to her, "Is this a new book? I can smell the fragrance of ink."

"Yeah, there are some good ones. They can't be put in the Qing Palace anymore. The crown prince is getting bigger and bigger. If he sees these books in the front, he will easily lose his temper. And Yinzhen is going to move out from you, and their brothers are touching them." No, let’s read slowly when we have time.”

"What books don't you show them?"

"The book of village slang." Kangxi took a sip of tea with a cup in his hand, and motioned to Tian Mi leisurely and joyfully, "Cousin, take a look first."

Tian Mi picked up a book, the cover said "Travel to the World", and turned to the second page, which probably meant that what he saw and heard from traveling around the world was compiled into a book, Tian Mi turned to the third page, and a person's name appeared In front of my eyes, I couldn't help but read out the surname: "Ximen..."!

The place where this high-ranking official appeared was either Water Margin or certain words. When I was in college, Tian Mi listened to the analysis of certain words for a semester.

The heart was hit hard. When Sister Tong asked herself to take good care of her cousin, she was full of praise for her cousin and called him a gentleman. Look, is a gentleman like this? !

Thinking of this, I couldn't help turning my head to look at Kangxi, and quickly covered myself up. After all, noble girls are not allowed to read such books, and noble girls have no channels to obtain these books, so they tried to calm down, "The concubine thought it was some serious I didn’t expect that after reading a page of the Eight Classics’ travelogues, there would be simple and plain vernacular, and these scholars and concubines would not bother to read it. If you want to read it, you should read something like “Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng”, which uses allusions everywhere, and you will have endless aftertaste.”

Kangxi laughed loudly, and reached out to close the box, ""The Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" has been praised by the people as the number one novel. .Those are for scholars, they can be said to be Yangchun Baixue, this box is from Xialiba, when you didn't enter the palace, did Kuadai tell you when he read these?"

"No."

"Forget it, he doesn't have the guts." Then he held Tian Mi in his arms, "You must have read it, why are you blushing."

"No... no."

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Your body has been up and down during this period, and it may not be a good thing to let it go. Let's go to sacrifice together to pray for rain, and we can also ask heaven and earth to bless you. Rumor has it that I am also worried about my cousin. I want to grow old with you for a long time, so don't be sad. Although I named you the imperial concubine, which is not as good as the queen, but the harem respects my cousin. When I get older, I will make my cousin a queen again."

The next day when Kangxi was sent away, an uninvited visitor came to Chengqian Palace. It was the fifth elder brother's biological mother, Concubine Yi. Grinding, so the whole person looks bright and moving, and the speech is also crisp and generous.

"Come here today, one is to thank the empress for saving the fifth elder brother that day. Let's talk about it. Even if the concubine jumped in, saving the fifth brother may not necessarily save the fourth elder brother. The empress admires this. Your empress's heart is enough to be a mother to the world, and it is a matter of time before your empress becomes a queen, and my concubine will be convinced." First, I flattered Tian Mi, and then changed the tone, "Secondly, my concubine's strength is weak, not everyone over there is a match. I came here on purpose to join forces with your empress, to make that bitch in the east pay a price."

To the east is the Yonghe Palace, and the main seat of the Yonghe Palace is Defei.

"The fifth prince came back that day and told the concubine that it was the sixth prince who pushed the fourth prince and him into the water, and the concubine also went to the emperor, but that bitch was very quick and falsified the evidence. The eunuch also admitted that he accidentally pushed the two elder brothers down, and then he couldn't bear the punishment and died. Except for one sister, the rest of his family has long since disappeared. His sister was adopted before, and the concubine yesterday The news I received said that I was kidnapped by a flower shooter, and I haven't shown up for several days. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? I also believe that the fifth elder brother saw it with my own eyes. Therefore, this incident I don't intend to suffer from this dumbness."

Tian Mi had a novel experience. She had never encountered such a thing of getting her son back. What are you going to do with such a disadvantage? Let’s hear it.”

As soon as he said this, a word called "killing with a borrowed knife" came to mind.It seems that Concubine Yi wants to use her vigor to kill her thorn in her side, perhaps killing two birds with one stone. Thinking of this, Tian Mi is interested in listening to her, to see how she plans to fool herself.
