Chapter 131 The Imperial Concubine
What does it matter if Yinzhen wants to laugh or not?
But my mind couldn't help recalling Tong Guogang's cold face with deep hatred and bitterness, and immediately shuddered, and then showed a smile uglier than crying, and said stubbornly: "No, I can laugh."
"Look, look, it's not working for a few days, so it won't work anymore." Ming Xuan looked at Yinzhen tut-tsk, showed him a mirror, and said.
Yinzhen was frightened by his ugly expression, and promised again and again that he would never become facial paralyzed in the future.
Yinreng turned his head and smiled, the aunt was still an aunt, one new vocabulary came after another, and her persuasive skills were still excellent.
Yinzhen was gloomy for a while, and then he recovered. Wu Yashi didn't die, and he didn't feel too hurt in his heart. After all, he knew very early on that he didn't have the fate of mother and child in this life.
After being sad for a few days, he relaxed because of the occasional provocations from the prince's elder brother and Xian Guifei.
When entering the palace gate, because of an academic problem, I was arguing with my third brother, my face was red, I was so excited!
"It's finally pleasing to the eye!" Ming Xuan heard the voice when she got off the carriage, turned her head to see that Yin Zhen and Yin Zhi were not convinced by each other, and couldn't help but sighed.
The Empress Dowager glanced at her and didn't say much, but the smile on her face deepened.
The emperor's driving back to the palace was very heavy. Even though the sky was already snowing, Concubine Hui and the others still stood firm in the snow to welcome them.
Ming Xuan really wanted to go back early to rest, she felt weak from the carriage, and if it was cold today, she just wanted to nestle in a warm bed, but the emperor had too many things to do and talked a lot when he returned to the palace.
First of all, we must care about everyone in the palace, and we must also reward Concubine Hui and others for their hard work during this period.
After the emperor finished speaking, everyone saluted the empress dowager, and the empress dowager directly said that you have worked hard, and the profile is gone!
Then, with the support of Mingxuan and Kangxi, they walked towards the Palace of Compassion and Peace.
Usually at this time, the emperor would definitely talk to Concubine Tong, but this time he didn't even look at Concubine Tong when he came back, which is a bit unusual.
At first everyone thought it was wrong, but soon found another big problem, that is, the emperor actually stayed overnight in Yongshou Palace that night.
"I have accumulated a lot of things in the previous dynasty, so I won't come here for a while." The blood scabs on Kangxi's body fell off the day before entering the palace, but it will take a while for the scars to disappear, so I don't favor the harem for the time being. idea.
Ming Xuan nodded repeatedly, thinking, she can be regarded as sent away.
The shock that the emperor stayed in the Yongshou Palace brought to everyone was far more shocking than Wu Ya's sudden escape into Buddhism, and Concubine Tong's sudden fall from favor with Concubine Zhao.
Not long after Kangxi was sent away in the morning, Yongshou Palace attracted three concubines, Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi.
"It is said that the emperor has always ordered that the palace power be handed over to Concubine Tong Gui and Concubine Zhao, but since yesterday, when we sent the badges and ledgers over, they didn't pick them up. Sister Xian, do you see?" Concubine Rong said directly intention.
Ming Xuan looked down at the tea in her tea bowl, blew it lightly, took a sip, raised her head and said with a smile, "Before the southern tour, the emperor ordered the younger sisters to take charge of the palace power. Now that the emperor has not issued an order to take back your tea leaves, Right, just continue to manage it!"
Concubine Hui and the others looked at Ming Xuan's smiling face, and the nuns around her had confirmed that Concubine Xian Gui was already a human being... But why is there something wrong with this tone today?
In an instant, several people knew that Concubine Xian had a rift with Concubine Tong and Concubine Zhao, and Concubine Xian had the upper hand.
"Since Concubine Xiangui said so, we know it well." Concubine Yi smiled brightly and said, "I heard that the food, clothing, climate and environment in the south are different from ours, if sister has free time, please tell us, okay? "
"I stayed in the carriage or on the boat in a daze all day long, but I didn't see anything interesting." Ming Xuan refused.
In the past, I was not in the mood to make friends with everyone in the harem, and now I am even less in the mood.For her, how to live, or how to live, is not much different from before.
Today is Yinzhen's birthday, Mingxuan agreed with Yinreng to celebrate it for him, after all, he will go to elder brother's house after the next year.
Even sleeping with Kangxi?Ming Xuan didn't intend to really befriend the women, sisters and sisters in the palace.He stood up and said that he was tired, and let the guests see him off.
Not long after the emperor left, he said he was tired, which made people wonder.Concubine Hui and the others glanced at each other, feeling somewhat sour in their hearts.
Although Concubine Xian's attitude is still not very good, but the advantage is that Concubine Hui and others know that Concubine Xian is still the former Concubine Xian and has no plans to interfere in the palace power, so they are more or less relieved.
Holding the power of the palace, compared with not having the power of the palace, the days are not a little bit worse.
For this consideration, the three of them hoped that Concubine Xian Gui would keep suppressing those two.
"Whoever is in charge of the palace will not wrong us." For the sake of his beloved younger brother, Yinreng made time to come over to celebrate his birthday. When he came, he happened to see Concubine Hui and others leaving, and Mingxuan was sitting in the yard basking in the sun. Taiyang ate melon seeds to tease the dog, so he joked with a smile.
Ming Xuan cast a glance at him, and didn't ask him how he came out, but only asked: "How is brother's packing? Is there anything missing?"
"There is no shortage. With me watching, the Ministry of Internal Affairs dare not bully Xiaosi. However, Xiaosi lives next to the third brother. Now the third brother shares the same yard with the fifth brother. On the way back, the third brother is worried about this. One thing. Xiao Si has a stubborn temper, and he likes to be serious about everything, so I don't feel at ease." Yinfeng sat next to Mingxuan, and ate the melon seeds in her palm.
Ming Xuan handed him the melon seeds in the other palm.
Yinfeng took it, stuffed it in his mouth, and said while chewing: "It's delicious!"
"When we were not in the palace, Concubine Yi didn't take Fifth Elder Brother back?" Ming Xuan wondered, she just came back and didn't bother to ask about the situation in the palace.
Yinfeng nodded and said, "Ama Khan didn't make an order, so I guess he didn't dare."
"Why don't you dare? My son has not yet reached the age of formal schooling, and I am in charge of the palace..." Mingxuan exclaimed, "How could you, Khan Ama, be angry because of such a reason?"
"Who knows what's going on in their minds?" Yin Reng sneered, he didn't like the other women in the harem, so he said: "Some are small, and I can't care about the big ones."
Just like when Yinzhi was born, Yinfeng knew a little bit about the thoughts of the women in the palace who didn't care about the long-lived concubine Rong. They valued the favor more than their children.
Ming Xuan didn't continue to complain, but seeing that the time was almost up, it was estimated that the prince and princess would be here soon.Let Yinreng go to pick up Yinzhen, while he got up and went to the Compassionate Ning Palace for dinner.
"Xiaosi has gone to Elder Brother's house, and the prince will go to Yuqing Palace to stay for a long time." The journey was tiring, and when Mingxuan came over, the palace servants were beating the Empress Dowager's back. Calling her to lie down on the soft couch on the other side is also comfortable.
This kind of massage is what Ming Xuan likes, the massage doctor's hands are just right, Ming Xuan took off her back cloak, lay down and replied: "No, the prince is almost as tall as me in a blink of an eye, maybe Ming Xuan In the next year, I will surpass my concubine."
"This is a good thing." The 11-year-old boy is about to consider marrying a princess in two years. The Empress Dowager said in a good mood, "I don't know what kind of person to marry?"
"This concubine doesn't know. Looking at the emperor, it's better to be beautiful, virtuous, and sincere." Mingxuan felt extremely comfortable after being knocked down. She turned her head to look at the empress dowager. When she was joking, she emphasized: "You have to help too. have a look."
The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "You really have to take a good look, the emperor's eyes are not very good."
Mingxuan didn't comment on the complaints from her mother-in-law.
The Empress Dowager was concerned, and began to think: "This matter is really too late, and it has to start almost now."
"Isn't it too early?" Ming Xuan said in surprise, "The prince is still a child now!"
"It's getting late, it's getting late, we've been seeing each other for a few years now, and when the girl reaches the draft age to give her a marriage, it will be a few more years to prepare for the wedding..." The Empress Dowager waved her hand, sat up by herself, and said excitedly.
Ming Xuan was stunned and interrupted several times, but they couldn't stop the excited Empress Dowager.
"I heard before that the girl's family gave birth prematurely, the body is not mature enough, and the child...is not very healthy." Mingxuan waited patiently for the empress dowager to say that she was tired, and then said seriously: "If the parents are not healthy enough, the chance of the child being unhealthy is even greater. Bigger."
The Empress Dowager was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "Okay, I understand, the Crown Princess is very involved, the Emperor has to think about it slowly. We won't get married too early."
Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief when she came out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, she didn't care who Yinreng married, she just hoped that Yinreng would be willing.
"What kind of girl do you like?" Mingxuan and Yinreng sent Yinzhen to elder brother's place and settled him down properly.Under the night, Ming Xuan asked Yin Reng who sent her back to Yongshou Palace.
Yinfeng opened his mouth and said helplessly after a while: "Auntie, you are asking this question now, how do I know? I haven't seen many girls either?"
"Today the Empress Dowager said it's time for you to see the Crown Princess." Ming Xuan sighed.In her eyes, Yinfeng is still a child, and she doesn't want to see him holding a child in a few years, and even thinking about it, she feels that something is wrong.
Yinfeng was also stupid, he was a little confused, why so early?
If you don't understand, just ask.This is Yinreng's consistent attitude towards his own Khan Ama.
When Kangxi heard his son's question, he thought about it: "In another year or two! Now is not the time to think about this."
"But two years is too early!" Knowing that there is still time, Yinfeng still muttered: "It will be another ten or eight years, my son is still a child himself! I can't imagine marrying a wife and having children. "
Kangxi just smiled and said nothing. He was very eager to marry the queen, but mainly for the sake of being in charge.
When it comes to Baocheng, there is really no need to worry too much.But the candidates really have to start to pick and choose, so that they won't be nervous when they are shown to the prince in two years.
With Khan Ama's promise, Yinreng felt relieved.
But he didn't know that Kangxi had planned to pick out all the important ministers in the family whose prostitute daughters were five to 11 years old.
During this tour to the south, Kangxi actually saw the situation in the south, got a more or less true understanding of the government affairs and customs, and then inspected the river dam.
After returning to Beijing, he was able to deal with related matters with ease. He also met Cao Yin, who was supervising the construction of the river dam, and saw that he had really worked hard for the past few years, so he thought of promoting him.
After Concubine Tong and Concubine Zhao returned to the palace, Kangxi continued to treat them coldly. Even Xiao Niu Hulu was called to drive with the imperial court, and they did not get a word of comfort from the emperor.
But at the end of the year, when he looked at his haggard uncle, Kangxi didn't know what they said between them, so Kangxi went to see Concubine Tong Gui.
It's just that this meeting, I don't know what to say, it still broke up unhappy.
But then two imperial decrees were issued, one was to confer the honorable concubine Xiangui as the imperial concubine, and the other was to take Nabuqi's daughter into the palace to accompany the empress dowager.
