[Comprehensive Wear] A good brother's life

Chapter 118

After offering sacrifices to the ancestors on the Ching Ming Festival, Kangxi led a mighty group of troops and began to tour outside the Great Wall.

After Kangxi left, the entire Forbidden City fell into silence.Both the front court and the rear palace were very peaceful.

In the previous dynasty, Kangxi arranged for his most trusted confidant minister to handle the affairs of the court.The harem is managed by Concubine Tong, so Kangxi doesn't have to worry about it at all.However, Kangxi worried that after he left, the Empress Dowager would embarrass Concubine Tong, so he went to find the Empress Dowager.

If the Empress Dowager really will embarrass Concubine Tong Gui after he leaves, please ask the Empress Dowager to help Concubine Tong Gui.Although the empress dowager does not interfere with the management of the harem, the empress dowager will still listen to her words.

The Empress Dowager was so solemnly entrusted by Kangxi, she would naturally help Concubine Tong.However, even if Kangxi didn't say anything, the empress dowager would help Concubine Tong.

In the past few years, although Concubine Tong only had to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager could feel her filial piety towards the Empress Dowager.Specifically, I felt it from the fifth elder brother.

Kangxi went on a tour outside the Great Wall and failed to take away nobleman Wei.Before touring outside the Great Wall, nobleman Wei caught wind and cold, and was still seriously ill.Kangxi couldn't, so he had to take away a few promises who were serving in Qianqing Palace.

The promises served in the Qianqing Palace were actually maids serving in the Qianqing Palace. After being adopted by Kangxi, some were named promises, some were still court ladies, and some became concubines.

The Empress Dowager saw that Kangxi had taken away a few small promises, she didn't feel dissatisfied, and she didn't say anything.

In fact, the status of these little promises is still low, not much better than noble Wei.Why did the Empress Dowager strongly object to Wei Guiren going to the outside of the Great Wall, but not to whom the little promises would go with?

The Empress Dowager always thought that Mr. Wei was too beautiful, and Kangxi had always favored Mr. Wei very much.If nobleman Wei were to follow him outside the Great Wall for a few months, I don't know how Kangxi would be deluded.

After all, the Empress Dowager was afraid that Kangxi would be fooled by the beauty of Wei Guiren.No wonder the Empress Dowager is so worried about Kangxi, but Mrs. Wei is really beautiful.Her beauty can not only move the heart of men, but also make women feel pity.

Originally Wei Gui's eighth elder brother could be named a concubine, but because of the strong opposition of the Empress Dowager, he was only named a nobleman in the end.

Wei Gui gave birth to the eighth elder brother, and the empress dowager wanted Niu Hulu to raise the eighth elder brother, but Kangxi did not agree, and directly asked Concubine Hui to take care of him.Mrs. Wei has always belonged to Concubine Hui's palace, and it is justifiable for that Concubine Hui to raise the eighth elder brother.

Not long after Kangxi left, the Empress Dowager suffered from a cold and recuperated in the Palace of Compassion.

The Empress Dowager is sick, and the concubines have to wait on her sickness.As a noble concubine, Concubine Tong naturally had to take the lead in serving the Empress Dowager.

Concubine Tong originally thought that the Empress Dowager would make things difficult for her if she went to serve her, but she didn't expect that the Empress Dowager did not make things difficult for her, and only asked her to serve her for a day.

The Empress Dowager did not make things difficult for Concubine Tong, but deliberately made things difficult for Lady Wei and Concubine De.

A few days after Kangxi took people on a tour outside the Great Wall, nobleman Wei recovered from his illness.It stands to reason that she just shouldn't serve the sick, but the Empress Dowager let her serve.

Concubine De didn't want to serve the Empress Dowager very much, she knew in her heart that if she went to serve the sick, she would definitely be embarrassed by the Empress Dowager.Concubine De didn't dare to blatantly express that she didn't want to serve the sick, so she could only logically say that elder brother Liu was not in good health. She was worried that no one would be able to take good care of elder brother six if she was not in Yonghe Palace.

The Empress Dowager naturally understood the implication of Depin's words, and asked her to send the sixth elder brother to Jingren Palace, and Tong Guifei would take good care of the sixth elder brother.

Hearing what the Empress Dowager said, De Concubine didn't dare to say anything, and could only agree to send the sixth elder brother to Jingren Palace.

"My concubine, my concubine, I don't want to trouble you to take care of the sixth elder brother, but the Empress Dowager ordered my concubine to send the sixth elder brother to you." The concubine said helplessly, "My concubine, my concubine gave you another You are causing trouble."

"Concubine De, you are a smart person. The empress dowager sent the sixth elder brother here. You should know what her old man is planning?" Concubine Tong sneered in her heart, the empress dowager really likes to play tricks. "I have the fourth elder brother in my palace, and I won't make any plans for your sixth elder brother. You can rest assured."

When Concubine Tong heard what Concubine Tong said, she immediately knelt down and said, "My concubine, I have always known what kind of person you are, so you don't have to worry."

Concubine Tong saw that De Pin understood, she nodded in satisfaction, and then said softly: "You serve the Empress Dowager for two days, and after two days, I will let Brother Six come back to you."

"Your concubine, please take care of Brother Liu for a few more days." Concubine De said with a wry smile, "You let Brother Liu return to my concubine, and within two days the Empress Dowager will let my concubine take Liu Elder Brother will be sent to you." Concubine De wished that Concubine Tong would take care of Sixth Elder Brother so that she could escape the "sea of ​​bitterness".Taking care of the empress dowager is much easier than taking care of the sixth elder brother.Besides, letting Sixth Brother stay in Jingren Palace for a period of time, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.

Debi has never objected to the sixth elder brother and fourth elder brother getting closer. On the contrary, she hopes that the two brothers can love each other.The reason why she thinks this way is mainly because the fourth prince is now Tong Guifei's son.

"Your concubine, I can only trouble you to take care of brother six for a few more days." Concubine De said pleadingly, "This concubine will definitely repay you in the future."

"Okay, I will take care of the sixth elder brother on your behalf for a few days." Concubine Tong said gently, "In the past few days, you will take good care of the Empress Dowager. If you take good care of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager will say You may not be rewarded."

"The concubine dare not ask for rewards, the concubine only hopes to serve the empress dowager well."

De Concubine said a few more words of prayer, and then left Jingren Palace, went to Compassionate Ning Palace, and continued to serve the Empress Dowager.

The sixth elder brother was left in Jingren Palace without crying or making noises. With the same almond eyes as the concubine De, he looked at Concubine Tong Gui and Concubine Rong innocently and curiously.

"Mother Wang."

"The slave is here."

"You and Qingbi take good care of Sixth Brother these few days."

Wang Momo asked, "Ma'am, where does Sixth Brother live?"

Concubine Tong thought for a while and said, "Let him live in Yinzhen's side hall temporarily."

Since Xiao Yinzhen moved to elder brother's house, his side hall in Jingren Palace has been vacant.

"Yes, ma'am."

"Take Sixth Brother down to rest first."

"Yes, ma'am." Wang Momo walked to Sixth Brother's side and said softly, "Sixth Brother, please go to the side hall with the slave."

Sixth elder brother ignored Wang Momo, but looked straight at Concubine Tong, and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I want Fourth Brother."

Concubine Tong Gui was taken aback by these words, and then she smiled gently at Sixth Brother: "Sixth Brother, Fourth Brother is studying in the Shang Study Room, not in Jingren Palace."

Sixth elder brother asked again: "Then can I go to Shang's study to find fourth brother?"

Concubine Tong shook her head lightly and said: "No, brother Si is studying, you can't disturb him."

"Then when can I go to the fourth brother?"

"In the afternoon, the fourth elder brother will return to Jingren Palace, and you will be able to see the fourth elder brother then."

Hearing Concubine Tong Guifei's words, Sixth Brother's eyes lit up immediately, and a bright smile appeared on his pale and delicate face: "Then I'll wait for Fourth Brother to come back." After speaking, he said to Wang Momo beside him, " Mammy, let's go."

Wang Momo was stunned for a while, and then said: "Yes, Sixth Brother."

After Sixth Brother left, Concubine Rong frowned and said, "Mother, if you don't take good care of Sixth Brother, the Empress Dowager will definitely blame you, and the concubine will also blame you."

Guifei Tong nodded slightly: "I know."

"The empress dowager is really..." As soon as the emperor left, the empress dowager began to target the concubine.

"I have known for a long time that such a day will come." Concubine Tong Guifei was not surprised by this incident at all, and said calmly, "The Empress Dowager couldn't find an opportunity before, and now there is such an opportunity, she will definitely let me Take care of Sixth Brother for a while."

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager did this to find fault with you, and then took the opportunity to deprive you of the power to manage the harem." No wonder Concubine Rong thinks this way, the Empress Dowager has always wanted to do this. "At the same time, it can also provoke the relationship between you and Debi."

Concubine Tong said calmly: "As long as Sixth Brother is not sick, the Empress Dowager will have nothing to do with me."

"That's what I said, but Brother Six is ​​weak, and he can get sick with a little wind." Concubine Rong was really worried for Concubine Tong, "Your Majesty, let Wang Momo and the others take good care of you."

"Okay." Seeing Concubine Rong's worried face, Concubine Tong smiled reassuringly at her, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is not here..." Concubine Rong sighed softly, "Sigh... If the Emperor was here, the Empress Dowager would not target you like this."

"Actually, she targeted me so much because I have not agreed to help the Niu Hulu family for a long time." Not helping the Niu Hulu family is the main reason, and of course there are previous "grievances". "She wants me to help Niu Hulu and the emperor go outside the Great Wall."

"Ah?" Concubine Rong was startled, "This... Arabian Nights. Even if you persuade the emperor to bring Concubine Shu, the Emperor will not agree to bring Concubine Shu. After all, it will take several months to go to Mongolia this time. Your Majesty You probably don't want to be with Concubine Shu day and night for a few months." Let alone the emperor, no one would want to be with Concubine Shu for a few months.

"Hey, I hope Brother Six will be fine in the next few days."

"It will be fine." Concubine Tong said with certainty.

In the afternoon, Concubine Yi carried Ninth Brother to Jingren Palace to pick up Fifth Brother.Seeing Sixth Elder Brother here, she raised her brows lightly: "The Empress Dowager's move is really ruthless."

Concubine Tong Gui smiled helplessly: "Isn't it?"

The sixth elder brother was sitting on the couch beside him, playing with building blocks while waiting for Xiao Yinzhen.

"Your Majesty, you have to be careful." Concubine Yi kindly reminded, "If elder brother Six is ​​ill, the Empress Dowager will ask you to ask me about my crimes."

Concubine Tong nodded slightly and said, "I know."

Concubine Yi doesn't like the concubine De, so naturally she doesn't like the sick elder brother Liu.Of course, there is another reason, and that is the name of Sixth Brother.

"Your Majesty, shall we go to Changchun Garden to escape the summer heat this summer?" Maybe it's because Yifei is very afraid of the heat since she gave birth to Brother Jiu not long ago.It's only April, and many people are still wearing thick clothes, but Yi Fei's clothes are a bit thin.

"Ask the Empress Dowager when the time comes." Tong Guifei said thoughtfully, "If the Empress Dowager goes, I will arrange for it."

"If the Empress Dowager is not going, shall we not go?" Concubine Yi frowned slightly and said, "It's summer, and the Forbidden City is as hot as a stove. If you don't go to Changchun Garden, you won't be able to pass this summer."

"When the Empress Dowager recovers, I will ask you." Even in summer, Concubine Tong Gui didn't want to stay in the palace either.

Brother Nine in Yifei's arms kept staring at the door with big black eyes.

Seeing this scene, Concubine Rong couldn't help laughing and said, "Ninth elder brother is eagerly waiting for fourth elder brother to come back."

"Ninth elder brother, fourth elder brother will be back soon."

When Brother Six at the side heard this, his eyes immediately became bright.

Concubine Yi looked at the youngest son in her arms helplessly and amusedly, "Elder Brother Nine really likes Elder Brother Four, every time he takes him home, he would cry for a long time, which gave me a headache."

"Looking at how close Ninth Brother and Fourth Brother are, people who don't know think that Ninth Brother and Fourth Brother are brothers." Concubine Rong joked, "No wonder Fifth Brother is jealous."

Thinking of fifth elder brother being jealous, Concubine Yi couldn't help laughing, and told Concubine Rong and Tong Guifei about going to fifth elder brother to be jealous, which made Tong Guifei and the others laugh non-stop.

At this time, Xiao Yinzhen and the third elder brother were walking to Jingren Palace.

The fifth elder brother followed Xiao Yinzhen and the others dejectedly.

The third elder brother raised his hand and gently patted the fifth elder brother's back, "Fifth brother, didn't you just get slapped on the palms by the master a few times, don't worry about it."

Xiao Yinzhen asked with concern: "Fifth brother, do your palms hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt much anymore." In class in the morning, the fifth elder brother answered the question wrongly, and was slapped by the teacher.Not only was he slapped, but his two companions were also slapped. "I just feel ashamed."

"It's good to know that it's embarrassing. Go back to elder brother's place and read carefully at night. Don't fall asleep just watching." Third elder brother raised his hand and gently patted fifth elder brother on the shoulder, "Speaking of which, you have learned Chinese a lot. It’s been a year, and you still can’t speak Chinese well, so it’s no wonder that Mr. beat you.”

The fifth elder brother pouted and said, "I can't speak Manchu well either."

"It's reasonable for you to say it's not good." The third elder brother raised his hand and gently tapped the fifth elder brother's forehead, "Be careful."

"Third brother, I am very caring." The fifth elder brother thought that he was serious and hardworking in his studies, and he was not careless, but he just couldn't learn Chinese well.

Xiao Yinzhen thought for a while and said, "At night, my third brother and I will supervise you. If you fall asleep while reading, we will wake you up."

The third elder brother felt this idea, and said expectantly: "Okay, let's do it like this."

Fifth elder brother: "..." Why did he feel that the two elder brothers were uneasy and kind.

Xiao Yinzhen and his three brothers discussed reading while walking.

There was a voice saying hello to Xiao Yinzhen and the others outside, and the sixth elder brother and the ninth elder brother stared at the door with burning eyes at the same time.

Xiao Yinzhen walked into the hall first, he didn't notice Brother Liu at the first time, but first saluted Tong Guifei and the others.The third elder brother and the fifth elder brother followed him to salute and greet him.

Sixth elder brother walked to Xiao Yinzhen's side, and shouted with a smile on his face: "Fourth brother!"

"Sixth brother?" Xiao Yinzhen looked puzzled, and then he looked around, but he didn't see the concubine De, wondering why the sixth elder brother was in Jingren Palace?

The third elder brother asked Xiao Yinzhen's doubts: "Why is the sixth brother in Jingren Palace?"

Xiao Yinzhen turned her head and looked at Concubine Tong with doubts: "Emiang, what's going on?"

"The empress dowager asked Depin to send the sixth elder brother to Jingren Palace, and let me take care of the sixth elder brother for a few days." Concubine Tong said with a smile, "The sixth elder brother will stay in Jingren Palace for a few days."

"Ah?" Xiao Yinzhen looked surprised, "Why did the ancestor ask you to take care of the sixth younger brother, where is the Empress Depin?"

"The imperial concubine will serve and take care of the sick empress dowager."

Hearing this, Xiao Yinzhen understood the ins and outs of this matter, and sighed in his heart, the empress dowager's move was really vicious.

"Yinzhen, Brother Six has been waiting for you to come back."

Xiao Yinzhen saw the expectation in the eyes of the sixth elder brother, and smiled slightly at him: "Sixth brother, you can rest assured to live in Jingren Palace."

"Thank you fourth brother." Sixth elder brother smiled and raised his eyebrows.

"Ahhhhhh..." Seeing Xiao Yinzhen ignoring him, Brother Jiu yelled anxiously.

Concubine Yi couldn't hold Brother Nine anymore.Don't look at Brother Nine as small, but he is fat and heavy, and he is very strong.

"Ahhhhhhhhh..." Brother Jiu leaned forward desperately, waving a pair of chubby hands continuously, his small face was very anxious, as if trying to break free from Concubine Yi's embrace.

"Si elder brother, hurry up and hug ninth elder brother, otherwise ninth elder brother will cry."

The fifth elder brother ran in front of the ninth elder brother, but was still rejected by his younger brother.

Xiao Yinzhen sighed helplessly in his heart, then walked up to Concubine Yi, stretched out his hand and hugged Brother Jiu into his arms.

The moment he was carried into Xiao Yinzhen's arms, Brother Jiu's little face immediately burst into a happy and bright smile.

Without any accidents, Xiao Yinzhen was slobbered by Brother Jiu again.

Brother Six on the side saw this scene, his eyes were full of envy.He also wanted to be hugged by the fourth brother.

"You're hungry, hurry up and have some snacks." Concubine Tong looked at Sixth Brother, "Sixth Brother, go and eat too."

Brother Six nodded obediently, and then followed closely behind Xiao Yinzhen.

Xiao Yinzhen and the others were sitting on the couch, eating snacks and drinking tea.When Xiao Yinzhen ate snacks by himself, he didn't forget to feed Brother Jiu.

Brother Six looked at Brother Nine enviously, and he also wanted to be fed snacks by Brother Four.

Seeing the sixth elder brother staring at him eagerly, Xiao Yinzhen thought that he also wanted to eat rose pastry, so he took a piece of rose pastry and handed it to sixth elder brother, "Eat it."

The sixth elder brother immediately gave Xiao Yinzhen a happy smile: "Thank you, fourth brother."

The ninth elder brother stared at the sixth elder brother, and then reached out to snatch the rose crisp from the sixth elder brother's hand. Fortunately, Xiao Yinzhen found out in time and successfully prevented him from snatching the sixth elder brother.

Xiao Yinzhen broke off a small piece of rose cake and fed it into Brother Jiu's mouth, "Fourth Brother still has some, don't go and grab your Sixth Brother's."

The ninth elder brother who was being fed giggled, and did not go to grab the sixth elder brother's rose cake.

"Ninth brother, fifth brother will also feed you rose cakes." Fifth elder brother also broke off a small piece of rose cake and fed it to ninth elder brother's mouth.

Ninth elder brother looked at fifth elder brother, then at the rose cake in front of him, then turned his head.

The fifth elder brother holding a rose cake: "..."

Xiao Yinzhen took the rose cake from fifth elder brother's hand, and then fed it to ninth elder brother's mouth.

Brother Jiu immediately opened his mouth and ate the rose cake that Xiao Yinzhen fed him.

Witnessing this scene, the fifth elder brother was stabbed in the heart: "..."

"Hahahahaha..." The third elder brother couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene, "Fifth brother, ninth brother really despise you as a real brother..."

The fifth elder brother felt extremely wronged: "Ninth brother, how could you treat me like this?" Why did he not eat when he fed the ninth brother?Why does the fourth brother feed the ninth brother his rose cake, and the ninth brother eats it?

Ninth elder brother couldn't understand fifth elder brother's sadness and grievance. He grabbed the clothes on Xiao Yinzhen's chest with one hand, pointed at the snacks on the table with the other, and babbled something.

Xiao Yinzhen had no choice but to pick up another piece of dim sum and break off some to feed Brother Jiu.

When Brother Jiu was eating, he smiled happily and waved his hands happily.

Xiao Yinzhen didn't forget the sixth elder brother. Seeing that the sixth elder brother had finished eating the rose cake just now, he took another piece for the sixth elder brother.

"Thank you fourth brother." Sixth elder brother smiled very happily.

Seeing this scene, Brother Jiu immediately frowned, lowered his face, and yelled something dissatisfied.

Xiao Yinzhen saw that Brother Jiu was jealous, so he quickly fed him some snacks, and then Brother Jiu laughed.

After Xiao Yinzhen and the others finished their snacks, Concubine Yi forcibly hugged Brother Jiu and left.Brother Jiu was crying loudly, but Concubine Yi was unmoved.Afterwards, Concubine Rong took the third elder brother and left, leaving only the sixth elder brother.

Seeing that there was still some time before dinner, Concubine Tong asked Xiao Yinzhen to play with Sixth Brother for a while.

Xiao Yinzhen knew that elder brother Liu was not in good health, so he didn't take him out to play, so he played Western building blocks with him in the hall.

Brother Six didn't talk much, but there was always a happy smile on his face.
