[Comprehensive Wear] A good brother's life

Chapter 90

In the side hall of Xianfu Palace, noble people are sitting on the couch, making children's clothes.

"My lord, it's getting late, you should rest." Chen Xiang saw that it was almost Haishi, and the nobleman was still making clothes, "My lord, it's not too late to do it tomorrow."

The noble man lowered his head, and the movements in his hands did not stop.

"Tomorrow morning, I will send these clothes to Jingren Palace, and I must finish them tonight."

"Your Majesty, there's no need to be in such a hurry." Chen Xiang continued to persuade, "The Emperor has already come to the harem to walk around, maybe in a few days he will turn over your brand."

"I want to send these clothes to Jingren Palace just because the emperor came to the harem." The emperor didn't come to the harem for a while. Ren Gong, after the emperor finds out, he should turn over her brand soon. "Furthermore, during this period of time, I didn't send any clothes to Jingren Palace. I'm afraid the emperor will think that I don't care about fourth elder brother."

"Little lord, you are the biological mother of the fourth elder brother. How could the emperor think that you don't care about the fourth elder brother?" Chen Xiang complimented, "In the past two years, you have often sent clothes to the fourth elder brother. You have a motherly heart for the fourth elder brother. The emperor as soon as possible Just take it to heart."

Hearing what Chen Xiang said, the virtuous man was not very happy, instead he frowned, with a worried look on his face: "Why doesn't the emperor promote me?" The emperor took the fourth elder brother to be raised by the noble concubine. Promote her position.

Chen Xiang always knew that the nobleman wanted to be promoted to be a concubine, so he comforted him: "My lord, you were promoted to be a nobleman after giving birth to your fourth elder brother, and it has only been less than two years. Even if the emperor wants to promote you as a concubine, the empress dowager will not I will agree."

Thinking of the Empress Dowager, the virtuous man immediately frowned, his gentle and delicate face pulled down instantly, and his tone was full of hatred: "Why does the Empress Dowager refuse to see me so much?"

Seeing that the virtuous man was angry, Chen Xiang regretted mentioning the Empress Dowager.

"My lord, as long as you always respect and be filial to the Empress Dowager, she will definitely change her opinion of you." After she finished speaking, she thought of the person in Jingren Palace, "Look, isn't the empress dowager also dislikes the noble concubine?"

Hearing what Chen Xiang said, the nobleman felt a little better, but she put on a face and said: "I can't compare with the imperial concubine. Although the empress dowager doesn't like the imperial concubine very much, the emperor likes the imperial concubine very much."

"The emperor likes the imperial concubine, isn't it because the imperial concubine is from the Tong family?" Chen Xiang continued to comfort him, "My lord, you wait patiently, I think you will be promoted to concubine soon."

"You are the only one with a sweet mouth who will make me happy."

Chen Xiang smiled flatteringly: "My lord, this servant is speaking from the heart." After finishing speaking, she suddenly leaned down and said in a low voice, "My lord, you'd better give birth to another prince for your majesty." .”

Why doesn't the nobleman want to have another prince, but it has been two years since she gave birth to the fourth elder brother, how could she conceive a dragon heir so soon.

"If the next prince is born now, he will still be taken away. It's better not to be born." The nobleman shook his head, sighed and said, "The fourth elder brother was taken away, in my heart..." Speaking of this, the nobleman His eyes were red, and there were tears in his eyes, "Forget it, let's not talk about it."

"My lord..."

The noble man's voice choked up: "It's all because of my low status, I'm not qualified to raise the fourth elder brother."

"Niang Niang, when you become a concubine, the emperor will definitely return the fourth elder brother to you."

"I hope." The noble man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Stop talking, I'll hurry up and make the clothes in my hand, and send them to Jingren Palace tomorrow morning."

"My lord..."

"Don't persuade me, if you don't do well, you won't sleep."

"The servant will accompany you."

In the main hall of Xianfu Palace, Xi Concubine sat on the bed and read a book.A little maid is pinching her leg.At this time, a palace maid walked in, first saluted Xi Concubine, and then said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the virtuous lady is still making clothes."

When Xi Concubine heard this, she sneered: "It seems that she will send the clothes to Jingren Palace tomorrow."

"The virtuous person really knows how to put on airs. Seeing that the emperor went to Jingren Palace today, he hurriedly made clothes for the fourth elder brother." The maid complained unceremoniously, "Why didn't you see her make clothes for the fourth elder brother a few days ago?"

"I wish she could seduce the emperor." Xi Consort knew very well that she was old and decrepit, and the emperor would no longer spoil her.With a virtuous person, the emperor would come to Xianfu Palace from time to time, and would come to her to sit here from time to time.

"That's what I said, but the servant can't bear her appearance as a fake loving mother." The maid saw it clearly, "Madam, the virtuous nobleman is very ambitious. Back then, he was willing to send the fourth elder brother out for the sake of being a nobleman. I'm afraid Now she is dissatisfied with her status as a nobleman, she tried her best to become a concubine and sit on an equal footing with you, then she will move out from our Xianfu Palace."

After hearing these words, Xi Concubine immediately sat up straight and her expression became serious.

"You're right."

"Your Majesty, we can't let a virtuous person go, and we can't make her a concubine." The Empress is not favored. Only after having a virtuous person in the past few years can I often see the emperor.If the nobles move away, the Xianfu Palace may really become a cold palace.

Concubine Xi pondered for a while, then said meaningfully: "I haven't gone to Jingren Palace to pay my respects to the imperial concubine for a long time. I will go to Jingren Palace to pay my respects tomorrow morning." Fu Palace, the emperor just came back to Xianfu Palace to see her.If Wu Yashi left, the emperor might not come to Xianfu Palace again and again.

"Your Majesty is wise."

In the morning of the next day, after the nobleman had breakfast, he took the clothes he hurriedly made last night to Jingren Palace to pay his respects.

Concubine Xi learned that the nobleman had gone to Jingren Palace to pay his respects, so she didn't rush to catch up, but planned to go later.

In Jingren Palace, Concubine Tong Guifei had finished her breakfast and was pruning flower branches.However, Yinzhen was still sleeping and did not wake up.

Qingbi came in, first saluted Concubine Tong Gui, and then said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the virtuous man is here."

With a click, Concubine Tong just lost the extra branches and leaves of a flower.

Wang Momo, who was standing aside, said, "The virtuous man has really come."

Concubine Tong put the freshly pruned flower branches in a vase, and said indifferently: "The emperor came to Jingren Palace last night, it is normal for her to come to Jingren Palace today to deliver clothes to Yin Zhen."

"Your Majesty, the virtuous lady is not really here to deliver clothes, she is just showing off to the emperor." Wang Momo said angrily, "Before the emperor came to Jingren Palace, why didn't you see her come to deliver clothes to the fourth elder brother. "

"She comes to deliver the clothes, I can't stop her, after all, she is Yinzhen's biological mother." Concubine Tong naturally knew the real purpose of the nobleman's coming to deliver the clothes, "Let her in."

Wang Momo said disgustedly: "Your Majesty, the virtuous man is really kind."

"Mommy, who in this palace has no scheming." Concubine Tong does not dislike concubines who have scheming in the harem. After all, in this deep palace that eats people and does not spit out bones, if a concubine has no scheming, it is impossible to survive in the palace, but She hates using innocent children to play tricks, and even more hates people who use children as tools.However, noble people are exactly this kind of people.To her, a child is a tool for climbing, not a blood relative.

Qingbi went out, and blessed the virtuous person standing at the door: "Virtuous person, the imperial concubine please come in."

The nobleman smiled politely at Qingbi: "Miss Qingbi, please."

"Master, you are too serious." Qingbi stepped aside, "This way please."

The noble man walked into Jingren Palace and saw orchids in full bloom in the courtyard.A gust of wind blows, bringing a faint fragrance of orchids.

Concubine Tong liked orchids, so the emperor ordered the gardener in the palace to plant all kinds of precious orchids for Jingren Palace.Throughout the year, the orchids in Jingren Palace are in full bloom.

This favor is only available to Concubine Tong Gui, other concubines do not have it.

Every time the nobleman came to Jingren Palace and saw the orchids all over the courtyard, he couldn't help feeling envious. He wondered when she would be able to receive the emperor's unique favor.

In fact, noble people do not appreciate orchids, but orchids are gentlemen among flowers. If you say you don't like orchids, you will appear to be very uneducated and tasteless.

The virtuous man once wanted to grow a few pots of orchids in his palace, but he was afraid of being imitated as a concubine, so he gave up the idea.

Under the leadership of Qingbi, the nobleman walked into the main hall of Jingren Palace.

Seeing Concubine Tong wearing a luxurious Danyang Chaofeng flag dress, a golden hairpin with five phoenixes holding beads on her head, and a string of Hepu pearls around her neck, it made her graceful and majestic.

"The slave pays respects to the imperial concubine and empress." The noble man knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully.

In the harem, only concubines and above are eligible to call themselves "concubines" or "concubines".Young masters below concubines have to call themselves "slaves".

With a click, Concubine Tong Gui was trimming the extra flower branches, as if she didn't see the virtuous man's salute, and didn't ask her to get up.

Wang Momo and Qingbi stood aside, but did not remind Concubine Tong Gui that the virtuous man was kneeling on the ground.

The nobleman knelt on the ground, seeing that Concubine Tong hadn't asked her to get up, he couldn't help beating his heart, first he wondered if he had offended the imperial concubine, and then felt that the imperial concubine made her look bad on purpose, and he couldn't help feeling resentful in his heart .

The clicking sound continued, Tong Guifei pruned the flower branches very seriously.It took a while before she noticed the existence of Deguiren.

"The noble man is here, why didn't you remind me?"

"The servant sees that you are seriously pruning the flower branches, so he dare not disturb you."

"Hurry up and help the noble man."

"Yes, ma'am." Wang Momo walked over and reached out to help the virtuous man who was kneeling on the ground, "It's not good for a virtuous man to be a slave."

"Your Majesty, it's not good to be a servant, to disturb your pruning of flowers and branches." The noble man was full of resentment in his heart, but he had a humble and docile look on his face.

"It's not your fault, it's because they have no eyesight." Concubine Tong put down the scissors in her hand, pointed to a chair not far away, "Sit down first."

"Thank you, ma'am." The virtuous man looked cautious, and sat halfway on the chair in a well-behaved manner.

At this time, Qingbi brought a cup of tea to the virtuous man, "Your virtuous man, please use tea."

"Thank you, Miss Qingbi."

"Master, you are too serious."

Concubine Tong was sitting in the upper seat, holding a teacup and gently brushing the water surface with the tea cover.

After taking a few sips of tea, the noble lady said, "Your Majesty, when the servant just came in, I saw that the orchids in the yard were in full bloom, so beautiful." She was searching for something while talking.

Seeing her appearance, Tong Guifei didn't know what she was looking for.

"The virtuous man didn't come to me to see the orchids in the courtyard of the virtuous man." Seeing the hypocritical and gentle face of the virtuous man, Concubine Tong wished to tear it off.She doesn't want to talk nonsense with noble people, otherwise she is afraid that she will not be able to control herself and do bad things.

As long as she thinks about what the nobleman did to Yinzhen in her previous life, the anger in Concubine Tong's heart will rise uncontrollably.

The nobleman smiled embarrassingly: "Nothing can be hidden from the imperial concubine." After she finished speaking, she stood up and took the clothes from her maid, "The slave made two clothes for the fourth elder brother, I hope the fourth elder brother will like it. "

Concubine Tong had to accept the clothes made by the virtuous man, she gave Wang Momo a look, Wang Momo understood, and reached out to take the clothes from the virtuous man.

"The servant thanked the nobleman on behalf of the fourth elder brother."

"Mother, you are being polite. This is what a slave should do." The nobleman meant that, as the fourth elder brother's biological mother, she should make clothes for the fourth elder brother.

"The noble man has a heart."

The nobleman lowered his eyebrows and said calmly: "The slave has no skills, and he can't do anything for the fourth elder brother. He can only make clothes for the fourth elder brother. Thanks to the empress, I don't dislike the poor craftsmanship of the slave."

Concubine Tong raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, and a hint of sarcasm flashed across her eyes: "Your skills are naturally not as good as the embroiderers in the palace, but your intentions are good."

Hearing that Concubine Tong said that her craftsmanship was not as good as that of Xiu Niang, resentment flashed across Concubine De's eyes, but the smile on her face became more submissive.

"What the lady said is."

Concubine Tong looked at the humble face of the noble man, her eyes became colder and colder.

Seeing that Concubine Tong Guifei didn't mention the fourth elder brother, the noble man hesitated and said, "Madam, is the fourth elder brother still up?"

"Yinzhen is still sleeping." Tong Guifei said in a calm tone, "You came a little early, Yinzhen hasn't woken up yet."

"Slave..." Concubine De seemed hesitant to speak.

"Nurse Wang, go and see if Yinzhen is awake?"

"Yes, the slave will go here."

In the side hall, Yinzhen just woke up.Nanny Feng is waiting for him to wash and change his clothes.

"The servant greets the fourth elder brother."

Yinzhen yawned, rubbed his eyes and said, "Nurse Wang, did Emiang ask you to come?"

"Your Majesty, please come over." Wang Momo knelt down and said, "Fourth Brother, I will take you to see your Majesty."

"it is good."

Wang Momo picked up Yinzhen and walked towards the main hall.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Yinzhen saw the noble man.

The moment the nobleman saw Yinzhen, she pretended to be very excited, but she soon restrained herself.

Concubine Tong looked coldly at Deguiren's "loving mother".In her previous life, she was deceived by the nobleman's superb acting skills, thinking that she really cared about Yinzhen's son.

Yinzhen glanced at the noble man and then looked away.The appearance of the noble man is gentle and dignified, and his whole body exudes a gentle aura.Such a person looks gentle and harmless, but is actually the most vicious.

Wang Momo put down Yinzhen in her arms, and he first bowed to Concubine Tong Gui: "My son greets Er Niang."

Concubine Tong beckoned to Yinzhen, "Yinzhen come here."

With short legs, Yinzhen happily ran towards Concubine Tong Gui, threw herself into her arms, raised her head and said, "Emiang, I'm hungry."

"Nurse Wang went to the kitchen to fetch the fourth elder brother's breakfast."

"Yes, ma'am."

Concubine Tong gently patted Yinzhen on the back, and said in a warm voice, "Yinzhen salutes the virtuous."

Yinzhen blinked blankly, then turned around to look at the noble man, and saluted her politely: "I have seen the noble man."

The nobleman quickly waved his hands: "Si elder brother..." She wanted to say something, but it was difficult to say anything.

After paying respects to the virtuous person, Yinzhen threw herself into Concubine Tong's arms again, and said in a childlike voice, "Emiang, I want to eat sugar-steamed crispy cheese."

Concubine Tong picked Yinzhen up and touched his face, "Okay, I'll let you eat later."

Yinzhen smiled sweetly at Concubine Tong Gui: "Er Niang is the best."

Seeing Yinzhen and Concubine Tong getting close, the virtuous man sitting on the side had an envious expression on his face, but he was actually thinking in his heart that Concubine Tong was really good at raising her own son so that he was not close to her at all.Didn't it mean that mother and child are connected, why did Si elder brother not react at all when he saw her?

Concubine Tong Guifei saw the envious and dejected look of the virtuous nobleman, and she hated her even more in her heart.

Soon, Wang Momo brought Yinzhen's breakfast, a bowl of porridge, a plate of buns, a plate of dim sum, and a bowl of egg custard.

Concubine Tong took the porridge and fed it to Yinzhen herself.

Yinzhen sat obediently in front of Concubine Tong, and was fed obediently with her mouth open.

Seeing Concubine Tong feeding the fourth elder brother in person, the noble man felt disdainful for Concubine Tong acting in front of her.

"Your Majesty, why don't you come and feed the fourth elder brother as a servant." When it's time to behave, you still have to behave.

Concubine Tong glanced at Concubine De's eager look, and then turned her gaze to Yinzhen.

"Yinzhen, do you want the noble man to feed you porridge?"

Yinzhen turned his head and glanced at the virtuous man.The noble man immediately showed him a gentle and friendly smile, "Si elder brother, I will feed you porridge."

"No." Yinzhen directly refused, "I don't want her to feed you."

Hearing what Yinzhen said, the virtuous man's face was full of disappointment, but he scolded Yinzhen in his heart, white-eyed wolf!Obviously crawled out of her stomach, but ended up getting close to Concubine Tong Gui.

"Virtuous man, Yinzhen is not familiar with you, so I should feed him."

The nobleman pretended to be reluctant: "It's the slave who didn't think carefully."

Yinzhen looked at the virtuous man, and thought that his biological mother's acting skills are amazing, and in modern times, he would definitely win the Best Actress Award.

Concubine Tong Guifei didn't drive her away when she saw that the virtuous person would not leave, and let her stay here.

If the virtuous man doesn't leave, he is actually betting that Kangxi will come to Jingren Palace in the next court.

At this time, Concubine Xi came.

"Madam, Madam Xi is here to greet you."

"Concubine Xi?" Concubine Tong did not expect Concubine Xi to come, after all, today is not a day to pay her respects, "Let her in."

When the nobleman heard that Concubine Xi was here, he was very puzzled, why did Concubine Xi come to Jingren Palace today, after all, today is not a day to pay his respects.

Not long after, Concubine Xi walked in, and respectfully greeted Concubine Tong Gui: "Concubine concubine pays respects to Concubine Gui."

"Get up." Concubine Tong asked, "Is Concubine Xi coming to see Bengong for something?"

"The concubine has nothing to do, she just wants to pay her respects."

"You have a heart." Concubine Tong naturally did not believe Xi Concubine's words, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Madam." After Xi Concubine took her seat, she saw Concubine Tong feeding the fourth elder brother herself, and then glanced at the eager-eyed nobleman, "Is this the fourth elder brother who just got up?"

"I've seen Mrs. Xi."

Concubine Xi immediately returned the gift, "Ma'am, I haven't seen you for a while, brother Si has grown up a lot."

Concubine Tong Guifei fed Yinzhen porridge and said, "Children grow up very fast."

"The clothes that sister Wu Ya made for the fourth elder brother are probably inappropriate, after all, younger sister Wu Ya has not come to see the fourth elder brother during this time."

The nobleman did not expect that Xi Concubine's visit to Jingren Palace was aimed at her.During this time, she didn't seem to have offended Xi Consort.What is Xi Concubine going to sing?

"Your concubine, you don't know. Sister Wu Ya has been making clothes for the fourth elder brother yesterday." The concubine said while shaking the round fan in her hand, "I heard that sister Wu Ya didn't sleep until midnight last night. Sister Ya really has a heart."

Concubine Tong naturally understood the meaning behind Xi Consort's words.However, even if Concubine Xi didn't say anything, she could guess that the nobleman hurriedly made clothes for Yinzhen after learning that the emperor was coming to Jingren Palace.

"The noble man really has a heart."

The nobleman panicked, she didn't expect that Xi Concubine came to tear her down, but she had a calm look on her face.

"The slave has been making clothes for the fourth elder brother for the past few days, but the clothes are not very good. I redid it in the past two days." The noble man stood up and said cautiously, "The slave wants to let the fourth elder brother wear it earlier. The clothes are made by slaves, so I made the clothes overnight yesterday."

Hearing what the nobleman said, Xi Concubine laughed jokingly and said, "I thought Sister Wu Ya was rushing to make clothes overnight because she saw the emperor came to Jingren Palace, so it's not true."

The noble man had an unbelievable expression: "Miss Xi, why do you think so, the servant just wants Si elder brother to wear the clothes made by the servant?"

"It turns out that I misunderstood my sister, but sister, you don't have to be so anxious, after all, the imperial concubine and empress will not be missing fourth elder brother's clothes."

The noble man hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty to Concubine Tong Gui: "Your concubine, you don't mean that by a slave, you just..." At this point, the noble man was full of anxiety and panic, "I really don't mean that by a slave."

Concubine Tong glanced indifferently at the panic-stricken Deguiren, "Get up."

The noble man stood up and said timidly: "Your Majesty, the servant really didn't mean that..."

Concubine Tong was too lazy to talk to the noble man, "I still have something to do in the palace, you should step back."

Concubine Xi stood up and bowed to Concubine Tong Gui: "Concubine, I will leave."

The virtuous man saluted with fear and anxiety on his face: "Your servant will leave."

After leaving Jingren Palace, the virtuous man was very angry when he saw that Xi Concubine was waiting for her.

"Miss Xi, did the slave do something wrong to make you treat the slave like this?"

Concubine Xi pretended not to understand, and said in a very innocent tone, "Sister Wu Ya, you did nothing wrong."

"Then why did you say that about a slave in front of the imperial concubine just now?"

"What I just said, I don't think I'm wrong." Xi Concubine was slightly taken aback, "I just feel sorry for my sister, you rushed to make clothes all night."

Of course the nobleman would not believe Xi Concubine's words, but she had no choice but to hate Xi Concubine secretly.

"Thank you so much, my servant."

"You're welcome." Xi Concubine said with a smile, "Sister, the imperial concubine has everything here, you really don't need to make clothes for the fourth elder brother overnight."

"Miss Xi, you don't understand." The nobleman suppressed his anger, "I won't bother you anymore, I'll go back first."

"Hey... why are you walking so fast, let's go back together." Concubine Xi said so, but she didn't go after the virtuous man.

"Your Majesty, noble people are used to pretending, will your concubine believe it?"

"Of course the imperial concubine believed it, otherwise she wouldn't have driven us away." Xi Concubine supported the maid's hand and walked slowly, "The imperial concubine is clear in her heart." After she finished speaking, she saw that the weather was fine today, so she came suddenly Interested, "Let's go to the Imperial Garden."

"Yes, ma'am."

In Jingren Palace, Mother Wang and the others were furious, but since the fourth prince was here, it was difficult to say anything.

After Tong Guifei finished feeding Yinzhen breakfast, she asked Liang Shengrong to bring Yinzhen a catch net.

"Yinzhen, go catch butterflies with a net."

"Okay." Yinzhen took a catching net taller than him, and went to catch butterflies among the flowers and plants in the yard.

Waiting for the fourth elder brother to catch butterflies, Wang Momo couldn't help but said: "Mother, the noble man is really very scheming."

"If the emperor doesn't come to Jingren Palace, I'm afraid she won't make clothes for the fourth elder brother."

"She didn't make clothes for the fourth elder brother, she clearly came here for the emperor." Wang Momo said contemptuously, "She even calculated that a small wrapping was on the empress's head."

While watching Yinzhen catching butterflies, Concubine Tong said to Wang Momo and the others: "She came to Jingren Palace today to deliver clothes for another purpose."

"Is there a purpose?" Wang Momo was shocked.

"Wait for the emperor." Concubine Tong Guifei couldn't help laughing seeing Yinzhen happily chasing butterflies with a net, "She's betting that the emperor will come to Jingren Palace after the next day."

"This... noble man is really good at calculating. If the emperor comes, he will just see her loving mother." Wang Mo said unhappily, "Madam, don't let her come to Jingren Palace to visit fourth elder brother in the future."

"She is Yinzhen's biological mother, and I cannot stop her from visiting Yinzhen."

"Then let her play tricks like this?"

"Of course I won't let her play tricks in front of me." Tong Guifei said with a half-smile, "Since she wants the emperor to know her motherly love for Yinzhen so much, then I will help her. Let the emperor know that she sewed clothes for Yin Zhen last night."
