[Comprehensive Wear] A good brother's life

Chapter 97

In the past few days, Concubine Tong Gui has been busy welcoming the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager back to the palace.In addition to rearranging the Compassionate Palace and Shoukang Palace, they are also planning to hold a reception banquet to welcome the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother back to the palace.

Concubine Tong is going to discuss with Kangxi about the reception banquet.

"Emperor Mama sent a letter, telling us not to spend a lot of time holding a reception banquet for them." Kangxi said, "Her old man said that they came back from a long journey and just wanted to have a good rest, so there is no need to hold a reception banquet."

"Your Majesty, do you really not want to do it?" Concubine Tong hesitated and said, "This time the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager went out to pray for you and the Qing Dynasty. Now that they are back, it would be a bad idea not to hold a reception banquet." ?”

"We listened to Huang Mama, and she said she would not do it." Kangxi gently held Concubine Tong's hand and said, "You also know Huang Mama's temper. She said no, if we do it, she will won't be happy."

Concubine Tong thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, we don't hold a welcome banquet, but we can hold a family banquet to welcome the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother back to the palace."

"Family banquet, but wait until Huang Mama and the others go back to the palace to rest for a few days." Kangxi said, "They must be very tired when they just came back, and they need to rest for a few days."

"The emperor is still considerate." Tong Guifei smiled gently at Kangxi, "Then listen to the emperor."

Kangxi: "Emperor Mama and the others will arrive in the Forbidden City at about three o'clock tomorrow."

"The concubine will bring all the concubines to welcome the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager back to the palace at the Palace of Compassion."

Kangxi still had political affairs to attend to, so he talked with Concubine Tong about the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager's return to the palace, and then returned to the imperial study.

After Kangxi left, Mother Wang brought Concubine Tong a cup of tea.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has returned to the palace, and I'm afraid the palace will not be peaceful again."

The Empress Dowager went out to pray for blessings for more than half a year, the harem was peaceful and nothing happened.When the Empress Dowager returns, the harem may not be peaceful anymore.

"The empress dowager is back, and she's going to pick on you again." Obviously, the imperial concubine managed the harem in an orderly manner, but the empress dowager was not satisfied.Every time when the imperial concubine went to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to pay her respects, the Empress Dowager would always pick her fault.

Concubine Tong held the teacup, sipped a few sips of tea gracefully, "Let her choose." In her previous life, she had always cared about the Empress Dowager's attitude towards her, but she suffered a miscarriage and died of illness.In this life, she will not care about the attitude of the empress dowager. "I don't care."

As for the Empress Dowager, Concubine Tong had already figured out how to deal with her after her rebirth.She knew what happened later, and it was not difficult to deal with the Empress Dowager.However, it is not easy to get rid of the empress dowager.

"As long as the emperor is on the empress's side, the empress does not need to be afraid of the empress dowager." Fortunately, the empress has the support of the emperor, otherwise the situation in the palace would be too difficult for the empress.

Concubine Tong nodded lightly: "Yes." She put the lid on the tea with a thoughtful look on her face, "I remember that the emperor once rewarded me with a string of shaman bracelets?"

"Yes, ma'am, you let the servant keep it."

"Go and take it out. When the queen mother comes back, I will take it and give it to the queen mother." Concubine Tong decided to wait for the queen mother to come back. She would take Yinzhen to Shoukang Palace to pay her respects to the queen mother and spend more time with the old queen mother.

Although the queen mother does not interfere with anything, her status is there, and the emperor has always respected the queen mother.The most important thing is that the queen mother is the niece of the empress dowager, and a good relationship with the queen mother is beneficial and harmless.If she wants to recognize Yinzhen in the future, she will need the help of the Queen Mother.

"Give it to the queen mother?" Wang Momo instantly understood Concubine Tong's intention, "My lady, the queen mother doesn't care about the affairs of the harem, you..."

"The empress dowager doesn't care about the affairs of the harem, but the empress dowager is the emperor's mother-in-law and the empress dowager's niece. There is no harm in building a good relationship with the empress dowager." Concubine Tong put down the teacup in her hand, "In the future, I will often bring Yinzhen with me. Go pay your respects to the Empress Dowager." By the way, ask Yinzhen to make friends with the fifth elder brother.

Now that she has decided to be filial to the Empress Dowager, it is impossible for Concubine Tong to be unprepared.She knew that the Empress Dowager liked children, so she decided to take Xiao Yinzhen to Shoukang Palace to pay her respects, but the Empress Dowager could not speak Manchu, only Mongolian.If you want to please the Empress Dowager, you must first be able to speak Mongolian.

A few days ago, Concubine Tong arranged for Xiao Yinzhen to learn Mongolian, and she followed suit.In fact, Concubine Tong is Mongolian.However, her Mongolian language was learned in the years after her death as a ghost in her previous life.In this life, she had never learned Mongolian, so she couldn't just learn Mongolian, so when Xiao Yinzhen was arranged to learn Mongolian, she also learned it along the way.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager must not dare to disobey the Empress Dowager." The Empress Dowager is the Empress Dowager's own niece, how could she go against the Empress Dowager.

"However, the Empress Dowager can say good things in front of the Empress Dowager." Guifei Tong said meaningfully, "The Empress Dowager has always owed the Empress Dowager." Back then, she brought the queen mother from Horqin to the palace and let her niece be the queen of her son. As a result, her son hated her niece very much and didn't want to see her grandniece. The girl lived alone in the palace.

"I want to recognize Yinzhen, apart from the emperor, I also need the help of the queen mother."

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager never cares about the affairs of the palace, will she help you?"

"Yes, of course the prerequisite is that Bengong and Yinzhen can please her old man." Guifei Tong is still very confident in winning the favor of the empress dowager. "I believe that the empress dowager will like Yinzhen."

"Our fourth elder brother is beautiful, cute, obedient and well-behaved, the queen mother will definitely like it." In the entire Jingren Palace, there is no one who does not like fourth elder brother.

Hearing what Wang Momo said, Concubine Tong was full of pride: "Well, Yinzhen is cute and well-behaved, he will definitely please the Queen Mother."

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will arrive.

Xiao Yinzhen came to look for Concubine Tong, "Emiang, I'm hungry, I want some snacks."

Concubine Tong touched Xiao Yinzhen's head, smiled softly and said, "Okay, I will arrange it for you right away."

Soon, Qingbi brought freshly made snacks from the small kitchen.

While eating snacks, Xiao Yinzhen told Tong Guifei what Mongolian language he had just learned.

For Xiao Yinzhen, learning Mongolian is very simple.In the past few days this time, he has learned a lot of Mongolian.

Xiao Yinzhen was not against learning Mongolian. After all, when he was six years old and went to study in Shangshufang, he would also learn Mongolian.

Concubine Tong found that Xiao Yinzhen learned both Chinese and Mongolian very quickly and very well.The most important thing is that he will not forget what he has learned.

After she told Kangxi about this, Kangxi was very happy and agreed that she should let Xiao Yinzhen learn Chinese and Mongolian now.

"Yinzhen, do you still remember the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager?"

Xiao Yinzhen tilted his head, thought for a long time and said, "I don't remember." The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager went out of the palace to pray for blessings half a year ago. Can remember the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.

Hearing Xiao Yinzhen's answer, Tong Guifei was not surprised. After all, Xiao Yinzhen was too young half a year ago, and since he hadn't seen the Empress Dowager and Queen Mother in the past half a year, it's normal for Xiao Yinzhen not to remember them.

"The empress dowager is your ancestor, and the empress dowager is your mama..." Concubine Tong briefly told Xiao Yinzhen about the empress dowager and the empress dowager.

Xiao Yinzhen heard it in a daze, "Don't worry, Er Niang, I will pay my respects to my ancestors and Huang Mama." After he finished his snacks, he continued to learn Mongolian with the Mongolian mama.

The concubines in the harem didn't expect much about the empress dowager and the empress dowager's return to the palace.For the Empress Dowager, the concubines in the harem still like it very much, after all, the Empress Dowager doesn't care about things.However, the empress dowager and the concubines in the harem are afraid.

In the past half a year, there is no big Buddha like the Empress Dowager in the palace, and the concubines in the harem feel much more at ease.Although the imperial concubine manages the harem, as long as they do not violate the palace rules, the imperial concubine will not control them.However, the empress dowager is different, even if they did not violate the palace rules, the empress dowager is also dissatisfied with them.When the Empress Dowager comes back, they have to be careful.

For concubines from humble backgrounds, they are most afraid of the Empress Dowager, especially Wei Changzai and noble people.The Empress Dowager was most dissatisfied with Wei Changzai. One was that Wei Changzai was born in Xinzheku with a low status.The second is that Wei Changzai's appearance is alluring, and he is deeply loved by Kangxi.The Empress Dowager always felt that Kangxi was fascinated by Wei Changzai's beauty, so she was very displeased with Wei Changzai.

The nobleman was born in Baoyi, and her status is also low, but she is better than Wei Changzai, but she is also very favored, and she gave birth to the fourth elder brother, which made the empress dowager not like her very much.

With Wei always around, as long as a virtuous person doesn't do anything out of line, the Empress Dowager will generally not embarrass her, so she strictly abides by the rules and is cautious in front of the Empress Dowager.

Now that the Empress Dowager is back, Wei Changzai and the nobles are all nervous, especially Wei Changzai.

Early the next morning, all the concubines came to Jingren Palace early, preparing to welcome the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother back to the palace with Concubine Tong.

Today, all the concubines are gathered in Jingren Palace. It stands to reason that there will be "swords and swords", but there is no such thing.Even Yipin didn't pick on Wei Changzai as usual.

All the concubines were nervously waiting for the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to return to the palace.They knew in their hearts that today was the day when the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager returned to the palace, and they must not make any mistakes, otherwise they would be severely punished.

From time to time, Liang Shengrong went into Jingren Palace to report the itinerary of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. For example, the carriage of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager had arrived at the Meridian Gate.

At this time, Kangxi led all the civil and military officials, and the prince and elder brother greeted the empress dowager and the empress dowager back to the palace at the gate of the Meridian Gate.

Although the Empress Dowager said that there was no need to welcome them back, Kangxi still led the ministers to greet them. After all, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager went to pray for the Qing Dynasty.

Concubine Tong Guifei learned that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager had entered the palace, so she led the concubines to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to welcome them.

After the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager talked to Kangxi and the ministers of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty for a while, they returned to the Palace of Compassion.

Kangxi accompanied the Empress Dowager and the others back to the Compassion Palace.Concubine Tong led all the concubines and concubines to wait at the gate of the Palace of Compassion.

After saluting the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, Concubine Tong led all the concubines and followed Kangxi into the Palace of Compassion.

Kangxi, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager sat in the upper seat.Tong Guifei and a group of concubines sat below.

Concubine Tong and the others sat below, quietly listening to Kangxi asking the Empress Dowager about their journey.

The empress dowager said that their journey was very smooth and they did not suffer any crimes.

Kangxi chatted with the Empress Dowager and the others for a while, and then left with all the concubines, letting the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have a good rest first.

Sending Kangxi away, Concubine Tong told all the concubines to come to the Palace of Compassion and Peace tomorrow morning to pay their respects, and not to come to the Palace of Compassion and Peace today to disturb the Empress Dowager's rest.

Although the Empress Dowager said that they didn't suffer any hardships along the way, after all, they had traveled a long distance and they were old, so they must be tired.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager went to rest not long after they returned to the palace, and they barely had a good rest until the afternoon.

In the evening, Kangxi brought Concubine Tong to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and had dinner with the Empress Dowager.Unexpectedly, Niu Hulu's family was also there.

Seeing Mrs. Niu Hulu, Kangxi frowned slightly, and said with some displeasure: "You are not resting in your palace, what are you doing here at the Palace of Compassion?"

When Kangxi said that, Niu Hulu felt aggrieved, "The concubine came to accompany the empress dowager for dinner."

"It is enough for me and the imperial concubine to accompany Huang Mama for dinner, you can go back."

Kangxi said this very bluntly, and Niu Hulu's face turned pale in an instant, "Chenqie..."

At this time, the Empress Dowager came out holding Aunt Su Ma's hand, "Emperor, the Ai family called Shu Yi to eat." Shu Yi is Niu Hulu's nickname.Her full name is Niu Hulu Shu Yierha.

Niu Hulu walked up to the Empress Dowager and looked at her pitifully.

The Empress Dowager patted the back of her hand lightly, signaling her not to be afraid.

"Emperor, the Ai family and the queen mother have been taken care of by Shu Yi during this period, why do you not look good when you see her?"

"She takes care of you?" Kangxi looked disbelieving, "Huang Mama, it's good that she didn't cause trouble for you."

When Niu Hulu heard Kangxi say this about her, she was naturally not convinced, but she didn't dare to refute with Kangxi, so she could only look at the Empress Dowager for help.

The Empress Dowager glared at Kangxi lightly, "Emperor, how can you say that about Shu Yi, thanks to her company along the way. You should reward her, why blame her instead."

Kangxi glanced at Niu Hulu with distaste, and said indifferently: "She should serve and take care of you and Queen Mother."

When the Empress Dowager heard what Kangxi said, she was full of helplessness.She looked at Concubine Tong who was standing behind Kangxi, and asked, "Concubine Concubine, do you think Concubine Shu should be rewarded?" Although Niu Hulu was named concubine, she never had a title. concubine".The word Shu is still her name, not the title given to her by Kangxi.

"Sister Concubine Shu served the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager all the way, it was indeed hard work."

When the Empress Dowager heard what Concubine Tong said, a satisfied smile appeared on her face, but when she heard Concubine Tong continued: "However, this is what Concubine Shu should do." Just when she was about to talk about Concubine Tong, Concubine Tong said, "Although it is what Concubine Shu should do, the emperor should reward Sister Concubine Shu. After all, Sister Concubine Shu is serving and taking care of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager for you."

"Emperor, Concubine Tong Gui is right, you should reward Concubine Shu."

Concubine Tong Guifei saw that the empress dowager pulled her face down one moment, and then smiled all over her face the next moment, she sneered in her heart, the empress dowager turned her face faster than turning a book.

Seeing that Niu Hulu looked like she was waiting to be rewarded, Kangxi disliked her again.If it were someone else, I would have said that this is what I should do, and I don't need rewards.However, Niu Hulu is different. She feels that she deserves to be rewarded.

"Niu Hulu, did you go out with the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to pray for me to reward you?" Kangxi said coldly, "If that's the case, the Empress Dowager really loved you for nothing."

When Niu Hulu heard this, the smile on his face froze.

"Emperor, you..."

Kangxi just didn't want to reward Niu Hulu as she wished, so he changed the subject and said, "Imperial Mama, I'm hungry, let's ask someone to set a meal."

The Empress Dowager had no choice but to ask someone to set up a meal first.

During the meal, Concubine Tong was going to serve Kangxi and the Empress Dowager for a meal, but was stopped by Kangxi.

"You sit down and eat, and let Mrs. Niu Hulu serve you."

Niu Hulu was about to cry out of anger, his eyes were red.

"The Ai family doesn't need to serve you, Concubine Shu, you can also sit down and eat."

The Empress Dowager didn't understand why Kangxi hated the Niu Hulu family so much. Every time she saw the Niu Hulu family, she didn't have a good face.Obviously Niu Hulu was born in a famous family, with a delicate appearance, obedient and sensible, a hundred times better than Concubine Tong Gui.
