[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress

Concubine De concubine silently decided in her heart to treat her daughter-in-law better, and then immersed herself in this small market with her daughter and spent a pleasant time.

The small bazaar, which was bigger than it actually was, was soon sold out, and the trinkets on display were divided into several shares, one for Defei herself, one for the fifth princess, and one for Defei who lived with her in the Yonghe Palace. The nobleman in the village promised that Zhang Jiashi and her daughters would also get a share.

After distributing the things, the nanny took out two exquisite boxes and showed them to Concubine De.Inside are some delicate jewelry bead flowers.It is more delicate and more expensive than the things at the roadside stalls.

The elegance that belongs to the concubine, and the freshness and loveliness that belongs to the fifth princess.

The nanny smiled and said, "This is the most popular trick in the capital, do the empress and the princess still like it?"

The fifth princess hugged the jewelry box and couldn't put it down, and the always hard-to-please concubine Defei couldn't help but smile.

"En, it's not bad." Concubine De said reservedly, "Although it's not as exquisite as the things in the palace, it's still considered good."

The fifth princess smiled and said: "I prefer the jewelry bought by my sister-in-law. The jewelry craftsmen in the palace love to show off their skills. In order to show off their skills, they only blindly complicate. I don't like it."

Concubine De smiled and joked: "It doesn't matter if you don't like it! You will marry someone sooner or later, and when you leave the palace and start a family, I will depend on you to buy whatever you want."

The fifth princess blushed with embarrassment, she twisted her body and acted like a baby, "Er Niang deliberately teased me, I won't tell you."

After speaking, he squatted down and saluted, and ran away holding the jewelry box as if fleeing for his life.

Concubine De covered her mouth and smiled, she smiled and felt a little sad, "Oh, time flies, the fifth princess has grown up in a blink of an eye, and she will leave me in a few years."

The nanny persuaded: "My lady, don't be sad. Girls will marry when they grow up. As long as the princess can marry a good son-in-law, that's better than anything else."

Concubine De smiled helplessly, it is easy to find priceless treasures, it is rare to have a lover, it is too difficult to marry a good husband.The fourth daughter-in-law is still lucky, the fourth son looks cold and indifferent to everyone, but he is good to his wife!I don't spoil my concubine, and let the fourth daughter-in-law spend money.

When mentioning the fourth elder brother and his wife, De Fei Empress thought of Kang Bao.

"Go and see if Kang Bao is awake? If so, come and show me."

Kang Bao has been awake for a long time. He has just finished eating milk and changing diapers. It is time for him to be energetic.

The nanny put him on the couch, Kang Bao turned sideways, staring at Concubine De with his big eyes, nibbling his fleshy hands.

He clenched his small hands into fists, stuffing them into the corners of his mouth, relishing the taste, and the saliva flowed out continuously, painting his fists brightly.

Concubine De looked at Kang Bao lovingly, "Oh, grandma's little girl! You can't do this! Drooling is everywhere, how dirty it is!"

She gently tugged Kang Bao's small arm, trying to take out his fist.Kang Bao was quite energetic, his small mouth was gnawing on his fist and he refused to let go.

Concubine De increased her strength appropriately, and as soon as she pulled out her fist, Kang Bao burst into tears.Don't look at him as small, round, like a gatekeeper, but he has a loud voice!Once you start crying you won't stop!

The emperor heard the cry of the child from a long distance away, he waved his hand not to let the eunuch inform him, he raised the curtain and walked in.

"What's the matter? Who messed with Kang Bao?"

Concubine De quickly saluted, and she said awkwardly: "He gnawed his hands and got saliva all over the place, I don't want him to gnaw his hands, he will get angry."

The emperor was overjoyed, "A kid! He's going to eat his hands, what are you doing to stop him?"

The emperor hugged Kang Bao and coaxed him, "Okay, okay! Men don't cry easily, Kang Bao is a man, don't cry anymore!"

Kang Bao pressed his saliva-stained little hand to the emperor's mouth, and he turned his head and continued to cry.It seems to be saying, the young master is sad, no matter who comes to coax me today, the young master will cry!

Concubine De hurriedly wiped the emperor's face and mouth, and Kang Bao's hands.

The emperor smiled and said: "This little guy has a big temper!"

Concubine De was afraid that the emperor would find Kang Bao troublesome, so she could only apologize with a smiling face, "Kang Bao is weird! He hardly cries at ordinary times. If something goes wrong, he will cry for a long time. No matter how coaxing him, it's useless to wait for him to cry." Enough is enough, I will stop."

As soon as Concubine De finished speaking, Kang Bao's crying became quieter, and after a while he really stopped crying.

The emperor laughed and said, "What a stubborn temper, like the fourth child."

Tears were hanging on Kang Bao's eyelashes, he looked at the emperor with teary eyes, and stretched out his little hand to touch the emperor's face.

He opened his small mouth and said, as if he was suing the emperor.

Look at your little wife, she dislikes me being dirty and won't let me eat my hands.

The emperor asked, "Are you suing me?"

Kang Bao: "Oh."

"Grandma bullied you?"

"Ah... oh..."

"Grandma will bully you again in the future, will I make the decision for you?"

Kang Bao had had enough chatting, ignored him, and he leaned on the emperor's shoulder and began to gnaw his hands again.

Concubine De smiled and said: "This child will sue again!"

Maybe his own child is cute no matter how you look at it, the emperor began to praise Kangbao illogically.

"Kang Bao is smarter than ordinary children, and he will have a great future!"

Concubine De felt that there was nothing wrong with this statement, her family Kang Bao was smart, and other princes and grandchildren were not as good as her.The emperor said that he boasted that the child would have great promise in the future, even if the child grows up to be a dude, the emperor will take care of him more than other grandchildren when he sees Kang Bao and thinks of him when he was a child.

Concubine De felt that the fourth daughter-in-law did not fulfill her wishes, but she did a good job in being willing to send the child here.

Kang Bao lay on the emperor's shoulder, his hands creaking.The emperor patted the child on the back and noticed that there were a few new things in the palace that he had never seen before.

The emperor pointed to the root carving on the table, and then pointed to the small lantern hanging by the door.

"These don't look like palace stuff."

Concubine De quickly explained: "Yesterday was Eldest Brother's housewarming banquet. The fourth child and his wife went out to eat wine in the palace. They brought these back from outside the palace."

The emperor smiled and praised: "The couple are very filial." But why not for me?

Concubine De also thought of this question for a moment, there are only her and the fifth princess here, and the fourth daughter-in-law doesn't seem to have prepared anything for the emperor and queen mother.

She smiled awkwardly, complaining in her heart that the fourth daughter-in-law was not considerate.

"The fourth daughter-in-law was careless, and sent everything to me. I shared some with the younger sisters in the Yonghe Palace, and I gave some to you and the queen mother. Your share is ready, everyone They are worthless gadgets, so please don’t dislike them. I will deliver the queen mother’s share when I prepare to pay my respects tomorrow. The fourth daughter-in-law is very clever. Set up a stall here to do business, and sell these small objects to me."

The emperor laughed, "Then you will be at a disadvantage. It is said that it is a gift for you, and you have to spend money to buy it."

"I didn't lose money. The fourth daughter-in-law sent me some change, and the little eunuch who sold the goods taught me how to bargain! In the end, the money was cheap, and the eunuch and maid gave everything back to me and the fifth princess. The fourth daughter-in-law paid for it. Contribute."

The emperor attaches great importance to filial piety, and has always ruled the world with filial piety.He respects his aunt who is not related by blood, pays his respects to his aunt every day, and sets an example for future generations and concubines in the harem.

He has also been creating an atmosphere that the queen mother is the head of the big family. When he returns from the palace, he must let the prince read the family letter to the queen mother first.If things are sent back from a long distance, they must also be sent to the Queen Mother, and she will assign the ownership of the things.

Shuwan's unintentional actions just catered to the emperor's preferences, although they didn't give the emperor a gift at the first time, which made the emperor a little concerned.

Concubine De helped Shuwan describe it, but the emperor was not stupid, all the good things in the palace were given to the emperor and queen mother at the first time, so why should concubine De be used to distribute among them?Some things the emperor just pretended not to know.

Shuwan went to pay her respects the next day. Before she left, she was triumphant and even bragged to the fourth elder brother.It is said that Empress Concubine De must be very moved, wishing to recognize her as her own daughter on the spot.

The fourth elder brother asked her to take it easy, don't let extreme joy beget sorrow.Shuwan rushed to the ground to bah, bah, bah, and scolded the fourth elder brother for being too disappointing.

Arriving in the Yonghe Palace, Shuwan was ready to accept the compliments from the Concubine De.

As a result, Concubine De scolded her when she saw her.

"You are too careless! After buying so many things, why didn't you send them to the emperor and the queen mother first? The emperor came last night and saw the things in the house with an ugly face. Fortunately, I help you describe them, otherwise the emperor Get angry!"

Concubine De felt a little guilty when she spoke, she didn't think of the emperor at first, she just cared about being happy...

Shuwan was stunned, the emperor doesn't care about these things, does he?

She admitted her mistake sullenly, "What Er Niang taught me is... I was not careful in doing things..."

After thinking about it, she was a little bit unwilling.

Shuwan couldn't help but argue for herself, "But, Er Niang! Those are all worthless gadgets, just for fun. It would be too shabby to give these things to the emperor! I can't give them away! This It was originally prepared for you and Fifth Sister, no one else has it!"

Hearing Shuwan say that no one else has, Concubine De is a little happy, but she still has to scold her.

"Confused!" Concubine De scolded, "Have you never heard of such a saying? Sending goose feathers from thousands of miles away is light and affectionate! The emperor may not like it, but you must give it! Queen Mother! Why are you so ignorant?"

"Yes..." Shuwan admitted her mistake, "It's because my daughter-in-law has been careless..."

Shuwan obediently admitted her mistake, and Empress Defei turned her anger into joy.

"Okay, I will accept all your reluctance. I will share some of my share and give it to the emperor, and I will pick out some to give to the queen mother. We will bring it when we greet you. The queen mother loves you so much. See Something must be happy."

Shuwan quickly nodded in agreement, and complained in her heart that she was simple-minded.

At the beginning, she just wanted to buy a few things to coax Concubine De and Fifth Princess, but Xiao Ningzi brought back a big cart. Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, remembering that Qianlong set up a stall in the Old Summer Palace in history. Use this trick to coax your mother-in-law.

Just like this, it gets bigger and bigger, and it gets bigger and bigger. Now it has alarmed the emperor and the queen mother, which is really not what Shu Wan wants.

On the way to Ningshou Palace, Shuwan secretly sighed, the days in the palace are so tiring!

Concubine De dedicated the things she had prepared to the queen mother, and kept saying good things about the fourth elder brother and his wife.

"The couple thought it would be rare for them to come out of the palace, so they should at least bring something back. The gift is a bit thin, so please don't dislike it, Empress Dowager. You can keep it for yourself, or give it to the little palace lady."

The queen mother felt rare when she saw these odds and ends, "Oh, I can't bear to give it to others!"

Shuwan persuaded: "Queen Mother, there is nothing to be reluctant to do! My fourth elder brother and I are short on time to go out, so we don't have time to pick them out in person. These are bought by the little eunuch. You don't have to cherish them too much, just play casually, it doesn't matter." of!"

Concubine De was so angry that she turned her head and glared at Shuwan, silly daughter-in-law!How could anyone speak like that!Just when it sold well in front of the Queen Mother, you should say that you spent a lot of effort and paid a lot of money to buy these things.I don't know how to behave well, but deliberately demolished my own platform, is it stupid?

It was rare to see Concubine De in such a panic, many people secretly laughed.

Shuwan shut up embarrassingly, and carefully shrank behind Concubine De to keep silent.

The queen mother also smiled when she saw Shuwan's bear appearance. Although she is not very smart, she is not stupid either. Shuwan's words are the truth and not adulterated.

"These things are very good!" said the Queen Mother, "I won't give them to anyone, but I will take them all to my bedroom and read them three times a day!"

Shuwan felt embarrassed when the queen mother said this, she really didn't think of the queen mother at first...

The queen mother also praised Shuwan for her filial piety, "It's hard to go out for a while, and you still miss me."

Shuwan smiled and waved her hands, "Stop boasting, I really didn't do anything, and I don't deserve your praise."

Concubine De wanted to shut Shuwan's mouth, her daughter-in-law wouldn't put gold on her face, so let her do it!

Concubine De laughed and said: "The fourth daughter-in-law has always been filial and very friendly. She is very kind to the fifth princess. She often visits the fifth princess and gives her gifts. The two of them are like sisters."

Shuwan tried her best to maintain a dignified smile, "Er Niang praised me, Fifth Sister has a good temper and is very tolerant to me."

"The fourth daughter-in-law is not good at this point, she is too modest."

Next, Empress Defei began to show Shuwan's various advantages to everyone, filial piety, modesty and friendship are all foreplay, and then praised her for being smart and able to take care of children.

In short, it is to pile up all kinds of advantages on Shuwan, don't worry about contradictions, just praise and it's over.

Shuwan's face almost froze when she smiled, it was the first time she saw Concubine De talking so much at once.

This suffocating boastful part...

Just when Shuwan thought that the torture would not end until the end of the funeral, Concubine Yi appeared as a savior.

She was upset in her heart, didn't she just give some worthless things!What a big deal!Everyone's limelight was taken away by the fourth daughter-in-law, so that's fine!Isn't she the daughter-in-law?Who didn't!

Concubine Yi started to praise Wu Fujin, Fujin was relatively thin-skinned, and Concubine Yi's compliment made her blush, almost bleeding.

Please An finally came to an end, Shuwan and Wu Fujin fled back to Elder Brother's house hand in hand.

Wu Fujin sighed: "I really don't understand, this... this is too childish..."

Shuwan sighed: "You don't understand, so I can understand?"

This is no different from arguing with the shrews in the east of the village!It's just that the voice of speaking should be lower, and it's more yin and yang.

Shuwan returned home and lay on the bed like a salted fish.

She had no grievances with Concubine De, and even bribed her mother-in-law with gifts. Why did her mother-in-law avenge her revenge and let her die socially?

Shuwan felt that she had to get sick for a while, and for the next ten days and a half months, she didn't dare to see anyone.Because she is kind, friendly, intelligent, humble and filial, she is too ashamed...

When the fourth elder brother returned home, Shuwan was still pretending to be a salted fish. She completely ignored the fourth elder brother, let alone went to the ground to greet him.

The fourth elder brother frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you? Is there any discomfort? Do you want to call the imperial physician?"

Shuwan said weakly: "I'm depressed, I can't see people anymore..."

"Depression?" Brother Si had never heard of this word before, "What's wrong with you?"

Shuwan sighed: "Today I went to pay my respects. In Yonghe Palace, Er Niang scolded me badly. When I went to Ningshou Palace, Er Niang praised me again and again in front of everyone."

Shuwan told the fourth elder brother the details, "I'm not thoughtful, I admit it. But I really can't stand Er Niang's compliments, I always feel very ashamed, and dare not see people..."

The fourth elder brother persuaded: "What's the matter, just praise you a few words, just accept it. If I forgot to prepare something for the queen mother and Huang Ama, I also have negligence. I can't blame you alone."

Si elder brother's consolation is of no use to Shuwan. Those who have not experienced that kind of shame cannot understand Shuwan's feelings. These are all black history that will never be erased!This memory will always shine brightly in memory!

It's like when I was a child during the Chinese New Year, when the parents saw the guests coming, they insisted on asking the children to recite a poem and dance.It’s very similar to when you came back from college. After studying psychology, your relative asked you if you could read what other people were thinking. After studying computer, he asked you to repair the computer.

Shuwan turned over and fell into a deep autism, and the fourth elder brother tried to persuade her for a long time, but she didn't respond.

The fourth elder brother thought for a while and sighed: "You can't stand it like this? You should learn from Huang Ama."

Shuwan asked: "What happened to the emperor?"

"You know that Huang Ama's table has a lot of invitations to please her! It's not a big deal, it's basically just words of praise."

Speaking of this, the fourth elder brother suddenly coughed twice, his face was a little embarrassed.

"I...I also wrote many poems praising Huang Ama."

Hearing this, Shuwan couldn't close herself anymore, she turned back, her eyes were brighter than a light bulb.

"You wrote it too?" Shuwan spread her hand, "Take it out and show it to me!"

Give me Kangkang, how did you flatter me!

"That...that's all in the past."

Shuwan sneered, "I don't believe it! If you don't tell me, I'll bribe Su Peisheng to steal it!"

The fourth elder brother was so angry that she scolded her for being heartless. He used himself as an example, but she wanted to see his jokes instead!

"Shut up! Dream on you!"

The fourth elder brother ordered someone to prepare a meal, but Shuwan got up by herself, still muttering, "You must have hidden all the sycophantic articles and poems, and there are none in the poems I gave my son for prenatal education."

The fourth elder brother thought: Although flattering Huang Ama is a normal operation, and everyone does it, but the poems and poems of flattering are not as real as the poems of spontaneous emotion. How could he collect those poems into his excellent poetry collection ?

Shuwan was healed by the fourth elder brother, and the next day, she went to greet her as usual, and the topic of please change the time again. Shuwan felt that everyone should have forgotten, and she felt more at ease.

A few days later, Shuwan went to visit the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess made fun of her when they met.

"Hey, isn't this our filial, humble, and friendly sister-in-law Sifu Jin? What a rare visitor!"

Shuwan said angrily: "If you say that again, I won't come here in the future!"

The princess smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, if you don't come, I will find you!"

Shuwan gave her a white look, and the princess ordered someone to serve good tea.

The maid brought tea and put it in front of Shuwan, but the princess was given a cup of plain water.

Shuwan thought in her heart: Could it be... the princess is pregnant?

The princess waved her hand and ordered all the servants to go out.Shuwan only brought Xia'er and Qiuxiang with her today, she nodded at Xia'er and the others, and they followed her out.

The concubine's maids entertained Xia'er and Qiuxiang to the tea room to keep warm and drink tea. Only the concubine and Shuwan were left in the room.

The princess smiled shyly: "Among the people in the palace, you and I are the best. I trust your character. I will not hide this from you. I am pregnant!"

Shuwan clapped her hands and laughed, "Ah! Congratulations! It's all over now, your life is going to be better."

This child is very important to the Crown Princess, with this child, the Crown Princess' position will be more stable, but Shuwan vaguely remembers that the Crown Princess did not give birth to a legitimate son, it seems that she only gave birth to a daughter.I don't know if the childbirth hurt my body, or the prince didn't like it.

She couldn't help persuading: "When you are pregnant, don't think too much. You just need to eat well, sleep well, and take care of your body. Don't worry about anything else. Don't be angry when the people below make mistakes. Wait until you are born." How many debts can't be settled after childbirth? If you really can't bear it, just use vigorous means to dismiss it, and don't wrong yourself."

The princess smiled and said, "My nanny from my natal family said the same thing."

The crown prince lamented that Sifujin was articulate, but he was indeed a sincere person and treated others sincerely.The fourth elder brother is like a boring gourd, and Si Fujin has such a personality, and their husband and wife complement each other very well.

Shuwan asked again: "Did you tell the emperor and the prince? You can keep it from the outside world, but it's best not to hide it from the emperor and the prince."

With their secret protection, the concubine's pregnancy can sit more securely.

The princess smiled and said, "I said, the emperor and the prince already know about it, but they don't want to announce it yet."

"That's good. After waiting for three months and the fetus is stable, it's not too late to announce it."

The princess said: "I still hope to talk about it later, the later the better."

Shuwan can also understand that this is the Crown Princess's first child, and it is likely to be the Crown Prince's direct son, the emperor's direct grandson, no matter how careful she is, she can't be too careful.Seeing the appearance of the crown princess, I can't wait to announce the birth of the child.

At this time, the maid knocked on the door and asked to see her.

The princess let her in, and the maid bowed her head and handed over a post.

"Princess Concubine, Da Fujin sent someone to say that she had a miscarriage and that she will not be able to enter the palace for a while."

The princess and Shuwan frowned at the same time.
