[Comprehensive Wear] A good brother's life

Originally it was just a small wind chill, but the Empress Dowager was getting old, and a small wind chill dragged on for more than ten days and it didn't get better.

The Empress Dowager did not allow other concubines to wait on her sickness, but only Wei Guiren and De concubine to take care of her, which exhausted them both.

Aunt Su Ma couldn't bear to see the Empress Dowager making things difficult for Wei Guiren and De Concubine, but she didn't dare to intercede for De Concubine and the others.She has served the Empress Dowager for decades, and she is the person who knows the Empress Dowager best in this world.She knew very well that the Empress Dowager took advantage of this opportunity of being ill to openly embarrass the nobleman and concubine Wei.If she intercedes for nobles Wei and the others, she will definitely be reprimanded by the Empress Dowager.I don't know if it's because of her age that the Empress Dowager's temper has become worse this year.

Wei Guiren and Depin served the Empress Dowager conscientiously, not only did not receive a word of praise from the Empress Dowager, but were often scolded by the Empress Dowager.In the past ten days, Wei Guiren and De Concubine were so tired that they lost a lot of weight.

Depin has been looking forward to Sixth Brother getting sick.As long as the sixth elder brother is sick, she can go back to take care of the sixth elder brother instead of serving the empress dowager.She thought it would be easier to take care of the empress dowager, but when she really served the empress dowager, she realized that taking care of the empress dowager was more tiring than taking care of the sixth elder brother.

Although Debi had been expecting the sixth elder brother to be ill, but the sixth elder brother was fine, and very good.

In the past ten days, the sixth elder brother ate well, lived well, and slept well in Jingren Palace. Not only did he not get sick, but he gained a little weight.

The nanny of the sixth elder brother had always been worried that the sixth elder brother would have a bad life in Jingren Palace, but she did not expect that the sixth elder brother would live better than she imagined.Not only that, she also found that the sixth elder brother was living happily in Jingren Palace.Brother Six had more smiles on his face than in Yonghe Palace.

At this time, Concubine De came to Jingren Palace to visit the sixth elder brother.

When Sixth Brother saw Debi coming, the light in his eyes instantly dimmed, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

"Sixth elder brother." Seeing sixth elder brother, Depin walked towards him with joy on his face, then knelt down and hugged sixth elder brother tightly in his arms.

The sixth elder brother was forced to bury his face in Debi's arms, unable to see the "indifference" in his eyes.

Depin stretched out her hand to hold the little face of the sixth elder brother, looked at the sixth elder brother carefully, and found that the sixth elder brother's face seemed to be a little rosier than before, and his spirit was much better than before, which made her feel a little angry.

"Sixth elder brother, how are you these few days, did you eat well, did you sleep well, did you listen to the words of the imperial concubine?"

"Emiang, I'm fine." Sixth elder brother said obediently, "I eat well, sleep well, and listen to the imperial concubine."

Debi said happily: "That's good, that's good, that's good..."

"Miss Debi." Wang Momo came over, saluted Debi first, and then said, "Mistress Debi, please don't worry, the servants are very attentive to take care of Sixth Elder Brother."

Concubine De stood up and said gratefully: "I am really grateful to the imperial concubine and you all."

"Miss Debi is serious."

Concubine De asked, "Is the imperial concubine free now?"

"Miss De Concubine, the imperial concubine is waiting for you."

Concubine De led the sixth elder brother into the main hall of Jingren Palace, "My concubine greets the imperial concubine and empress."

"Yinzuo pays respects to the imperial concubine and empress."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Concubine."

Concubine Tong looked at Concubine De, and saw that she looked haggard, and her delicate makeup could not conceal the exhaustion on her face.It seems that it is very hard for De Concubine to serve the Empress Dowager these days.

"Debi, it has been hard for you to serve the Empress Dowager these days."

Hearing what Concubine Tong said, Concubine De's eyes turned red immediately, but she tried not to cry.

"Your Majesty, this is what a concubine should do."

Concubine Tong looked at Concubine De with pity, and said in a gentle tone: "Concubine De is in front of me, you don't need to pretend to be brave. Seeing how haggard you look, I know that you are having a hard time these days, isn't the Empress Dowager? What's wrong with you?"

"Your Majesty..." Debi cried with a choked voice.There were too many grievances and sadness in her heart, but she didn't know where to start.

"The empress dowager has always been dissatisfied with you and nobleman Wei. This time I only call you two to serve. You two must have worked very hard." Concubine Tong sighed softly, "I have gone to talk to the empress dowager. I said that all the concubines should take turns to serve her, but she did not agree. During this time, the old man said that she needs to rest, and we are not allowed to visit the Compassionate Ning Palace, even if I want you, I can’t help you.”

Concubine De said with a moved face, "Your concubine, I know that you will definitely help us..." Concubine De raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said again with a choked voice, "Concubines can serve the Empress Dowager , is the honor and husband and wife of the concubines, and the concubines dare not have any dissatisfaction."

Concubine Tong sighed slightly again, "It's really embarrassing for you. If the emperor was here, you wouldn't..."

"Your Majesty, where is the Emperor? Did you arrive in Mongolia?" De Concubine asked with concern, "Your Majesty, did your journey go well?"

"Don't worry, the emperor's journey has been very smooth." Concubine Tong said warmly, "Two days ago, I received a letter from the emperor. The emperor is about to arrive in Mongolia. Presumably the emperor has already arrived in the Mongolian tribe by this time."

"Great." Debi said with a relieved expression.

"I wrote a letter to the emperor two days ago, telling the emperor that you and Mr. Wei are serving the sick empress dowager."

When De Concubine heard what Concubine Tong said, her eyes lit up immediately, and she couldn't hide a surprised smile on her face, but she quickly put away the smile.

"Your Majesty, serving the Empress Dowager is the duty of the concubines, you don't need to tell the Emperor."

"How can you not tell the emperor that you have worked so hard?" Concubine Tong said seriously, "I told the emperor this matter because I want the emperor to reward you well when he comes back."

When Deman heard the word "reward", his eyes shone with joy.She quickly knelt down, and said gratefully: "Thank you, my concubine! Thank you, my concubine! Thank you, my concubine!"

"You should be rewarded for serving the Empress Dowager so hard." Concubine Tong said with a smile, "Get up quickly."

"Thank you, imperial concubine!" Concubine De stood up, and continued to say in a grateful tone, "Mistress, thank you for helping my concubine take care of brother six."

"You're welcome." Concubine Tong looked at Brother Six, and keenly noticed that the child's usual smile was gone, and his eyes were not as bright as usual.It stands to reason that Sixth Brother would be very happy and excited to see his mother-in-law, but not like this... This kid doesn't look happy, what's going on?

"You have worked so hard to serve the Empress Dowager, so I will naturally help you take care of Sixth Brother." Concubine Tong's tone was very kind, "Don't worry, Sixth Brother has lived very well in Jingren Palace during this time. Not sick."

"Your concubine, I really trouble you too much." The concubine didn't want Concubine Tong to take care of elder brother Liu so meticulously, but she hoped that Concubine Tong would take care of elder brother Liu who was sick, so that she would have a fair reason to leave Ci Ning palace. "Your Majesty, I am really causing you too much trouble."

"Brother Liu is very well-behaved and doesn't cry or make trouble. He will tell me when he is hungry or uncomfortable, which saves me a lot of worry." Concubine Tong gave De Concubine an appreciative look, "De Concubine, you put Liu A Brother taught well."

Debi smiled modestly: "Your Majesty, it's not that the concubine is good at teaching, but that Brother Six is ​​well-behaved." As she spoke, she reached out and touched Brother Six's head, and said softly, "Brother Six Although he is in poor health, he is very sensible."

"Sixth elder brother didn't cause trouble to the palace, don't worry." Concubine Tong asked, "Did you come to Jingren Palace today to pick up sixth elder brother back to Yonghe Palace?"

The sixth elder brother who was standing beside De Concubine heard Tong Guifei's words, the light in his eyes dimmed a bit, and there was a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, this concubine really wants to take Sixth Brother back to Yonghe Palace, but I still have to go to Compassion Palace to take care of him, so I can't take care of Sixth Brother for the time being, so I can only ask you to take care of Sixth Brother for a few more days."

When Sixth Brother heard this, the light in his eyes lit up again, and the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a small happy smile.

Concubine Tong frowned slightly after hearing this: "The Empress Dowager still wants you to serve her?"

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is still ill, and the concubine and nobleman Wei will continue to serve the Empress Dowager."

"Why haven't you recovered yet?" Concubine Tong showed doubts, "I asked Court Judge Gu, and he told me that the Empress Dowager's wind and cold are almost recovering."

Hearing this, De Concubine immediately understood that the Empress Dowager was deliberately embarrassing them, and she pretended not to be well.

"The Empress Dowager is still coughing."

Concubine Tong thought for a while and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Your Majesty, this is what courtiers and concubines should do." That's all Debi could say.Although she hated the Empress Dowager in her heart, she couldn't say anything, and she had to say that it was her honor to serve the Empress Dowager. "Serving the Empress Dowager is a concubine's honor, and concubines don't find it hard."

"You can think so."

"Your Majesty, the concubine will go back to the Yonghe Palace to clean up, and will go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to change the nobleman later."

"You're busy."

Before Debi left, she stretched out her hand to hold Brother Six in her arms, patted him on the back lightly and said, "Brother Six, Er Niang still has to serve the Empress Dowager, you will continue to live in the house for a few days. Jingren Palace, you must listen carefully to the concubine, you understand?"

"Emiang, I understand." The sixth elder brother raised his hand and patted Debi's shoulder lightly, "Emiang, don't worry, I will be obedient."

Concubine De patted Sixth Elder Brother again, and then expressed her gratitude to Concubine Tong Gui, before leaving Jingren Palace "reluctantly".

Concubine Tong Guifei found that the sixth elder brother was not reluctant or sad about Depin's departure, on the contrary, the child was a little happy, which made her very puzzled.

"Sixth brother, are you happy to continue living in Jingren Palace?"

"Happy." Brother Six had a bright and happy smile on his face.

"Why are you happy?"

"Because I can continue to see my fourth brother."

Concubine Tong Guifei couldn't help laughing when she heard what Sixth Brother said, thinking that the child was unhappy with Concubine De before because she was afraid of leaving Jingren Palace.

"You like fourth brother that much?"

Brother Six nodded heavily, and said with a smile on his face: "Well, I like Brother Four."

Concubine Tong teased Sixth Brother and said, "Then do you like Fourth Brother more, or your mother-in-law more?"

Sixth elder brother didn't hesitate at all, and said very simply: "I like fourth brother more."

This answer surprised Concubine Tong, "Shouldn't I like your mother-in-law a little more?"

Brother Six shook his head: "I like Brother Four."

"Why do you like Fourth Brother more than Erniang?"

Sixth brother said without any hesitation: "Because fourth brother is good."

Concubine Tong slightly raised her eyebrows and asked, "Fourth Brother, how is Eunian?"

This question made Sixth Brother silent, and he no longer answered as readily as before.

Seeing that elder brother Liu remained silent and did not answer, Concubine Tong knew his answer, which surprised her very much.However, she did not continue to ask.

"Your fourth brother also likes you very much."

Hearing this, Brother Six laughed again.

"I also like fourth brother." After finishing speaking, he emphasized again, "I like fourth brother the most!"

Concubine Tong smiled lightly and said: "Well, I understand, you go and play first."

"The imperial concubine, then I'll go out to play first." After the sixth elder brother bowed obediently, he ran out to catch butterflies.

After Sixth Brother left, Wang Momo asked: "You just asked Sixth Brother what questions..."

Concubine Tong said thoughtfully: "Sixth elder brother doesn't like this concubine Debi."

"Ah?" Wang Momo looked surprised, "Impossible..."

"This child is not at all happy about De Concubine's arrival..." Concubine Tong told Wang Momo about Sixth Brother's behavior when De Concubine was there just now.

After Wang Momo heard this, she had an unbelievable expression on her face.

"Imperial concubine, did Concubine De abused Brother Six?"

"No, she still relies on the sixth elder brother to take the position, and dare not abuse the sixth elder brother." Concubine Tong knew De Concubine very well, "De Concubine regards the sixth elder brother as a tool for superiors, maybe the sixth elder brother feels it. "

"Your Majesty, Elder Brother Six is ​​just a child, how could he feel it?" Nanny Wang thought it was impossible.

"Don't underestimate the child, the child is very sensitive, he can feel whether a person really loves him." Concubine Tong said with a deep look, "Sixth elder brother should feel that Debi doesn't really love him. .”

"is it possible?"

"It's very possible, especially the sixth elder brother who has been in poor health since he was a child." Tong Guifei said, "The sixth elder brother who has been in poor health since childhood has a more delicate and sensitive mind than other children."

"Then... the sixth elder brother is too pitiful, isn't it?" During this period of time, the sixth elder brother lived in Jingren Palace, and behaved very well-behaved and sensible, which made Wang Momo and his group dislike him from the beginning. Until now, I love and love him very much. "Sixth elder brother is really pitiful for a cold-blooded and ruthless mother like Debi."

"As long as this child is useful to Concubine De, Concubine De will treat him well." Although Elder Brother Six is ​​very obedient and cute, Concubine Tong Guifei did not like Elder Six as much as Nanny Wang and the others.It's not that Concubine Tong doesn't like Sixth Brother, but she doesn't have any feelings for Sixth Brother. "Even if De Concubine can't rely on Sixth Prince to take the throne in the end, De Concubine will not dare to abuse Sixth Prince. After all, Sixth Prince is the emperor's son, and De Concubine will continue to play her as a loving mother."

"Oh...it's fortunate that the fourth elder brother grew up by your side, otherwise the fourth elder brother would be as pitiful as the sixth elder brother." Wang Momo said, "Fortunately, the fourth elder brother has your love."

Concubine Tong Gui smiled slightly when she heard this, and said nothing more.

Seeing that Concubine Tong Gui was reading again, Wang Momo quietly retreated.

In the afternoon, when Xiao Yinzhen returned to Jingren Palace, he found that the sixth elder brother was even more clingy to him, with a pair of small hands holding on to his sleeves.

Xiao Yinzhen looked at Tong Guifei suspiciously, "Emiang, what's wrong with the sixth brother?"

Concubine Tong glanced at the sixth elder brother who was following Xiao Yinzhen like a tail, and said with a light smile: "Today, Concubine De came to Jingren Palace, and Elder Six thought that he would go back to Yonghe Palace with Concubine De."

When Xiao Yinzhen heard this, he instantly understood what was going on.Afterwards, he looked at the sixth elder brother with a look of surprise: "Sixth brother, don't you want to go back to Yonghe Palace?"

Sixth elder brother held Xiao Yinzhen's right hand tightly, raised his face and said very seriously: "I want to be with fourth brother."
