[Comprehensive Wear] A good brother's life

"Your Majesty, the virtuous gentleman is asking to see you."

Concubine Tong raised her eyebrows lightly upon hearing this, "Let her in."

"Your Majesty, what kind of tricks is the virtuous man going to play?" Wang Momo intuitively felt that the virtuous man had no good intentions.

After a while, Deguiren came in, she first saluted Concubine Tong, and then explained to Concubine Tong that Xi Concubine said she rushed to make clothes overnight.

She first said pitifully that she was the biological mother of the fourth elder brother, how could she make clothes for the fourth elder brother overnight in order to compete for favor.Afterwards, she said that she didn't know what she did wrong and angered Empress Xi, and asked Empress Xi to say that about her.In the end, she humbly begged Tong Guifei to believe her words.

If Tong Guifei didn't know the true face of a noble person, she might be deceived by her humble and pitiful appearance.

Concubine Tong Guifei said that she didn't take Xi concubine's words seriously, but she advised Mr. Degui not to make clothes for the fourth elder brother overnight.

Seeing that Concubine Tong seemed to have believed her words, the noble man breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then thanked Concubine Tong gratefully for her concern.

Concubine Tong Gui said that she still had things to do, so she asked the nobleman to retreat.

After Deguiren left, Wang Momo couldn't wait to say: "Your Majesty, you don't believe what Deguiren just said?"

Guifei Tong was writing something, when she heard Wang Momo's words, she raised her head and glanced at her: "Is this palace so stupid?"

"Then why did you say that to the noble man just now?" Wang Momo felt more and more that the noble man was hypocritical and scheming.

"She is Yinzhen's biological mother, and I want to be polite to her on the bright side." In fact, Tong Guifei wanted to deal with the noble man very easily, but since the noble man is the fourth elder brother's biological mother, there are some things she can't do .Although she really wanted to tear off the nobleman's true face and get rid of her, but now is not the time.

Concubine Tong Gui hated the noble man very much, but now she had to keep the noble man, the existence of the noble man was still useful to her.

If she gets rid of the noble people now, the empress dowager will think that she is going to leave her mother and keep her son.The Empress Dowager has always opposed her raising Yinzhen, once the noble man is gone, the Empress Dowager will not let her raise Yinzhen again.

As long as the virtuous person is around, in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, she is Yinzhen's adoptive mother, and she will never be able to truly become Yinzhen's mother.

The existence of virtuous people was used by the Empress Dowager to "contain" Concubine Tong Gui.Therefore, before the Empress Dowager died of illness, Concubine Tong Guifei would not get rid of the noble people.

The Empress Dowager used noble people to "contain" Concubine Tong, and Concubine Tong also used noble people to paralyze the Empress Dowager.Let's put it this way, Tong Guifei deliberately turned the noble man into her "threat", and let the empress dowager hold her hostage later.

"Niang Niang, if you are polite to her, she will only push her forward."

"Then let her make an inch of it." Concubine Tong raised the corners of her mouth and smiled meaningfully, "She doesn't make an inch of it, and I will help her."

Wang Momo was confused by Concubine Tong's words, "Mother, I don't understand."

"Leaving aside the scheming of the noble man, what impression does the noble man give you?"

Wang Momo was stunned by the question, and then she thought for a while and said: "The nobleman used to give me the impression of being meek and modest, who strictly abides by the rules, is cautious and knows how to advance and retreat."

"The emperor also takes a fancy to her, that's why he favors her." Concubine Tong did not stop the pen in her hand, "This noble man strictly abides by the rules, he is very careful in doing things, and he dare not make any mistakes."

When Wang Momo heard Concubine Tong Guifei's words, she suddenly thought of something, and opened her mouth in surprise: "Madam, do you mean that she did it on purpose that the clothes sent by Mrs. Degui yesterday were not good?"

"I didn't think of this yesterday, but after hearing what she said just now, I can be sure that she did it on purpose." Concubine Tong felt that she still underestimated the noble man.If she hadn't heard what she said just now, she wouldn't have thought that Deguiren made poor clothes on purpose.

"Mother, why did she do this?" Wang Momo was stunned, "Yesterday, when you told the emperor, the emperor was obviously angry, isn't she afraid that the emperor will be angry?"

"The emperor's anger is exactly what she wants." She really can't take the noble man lightly, or she will fall into her ways.

"Your Majesty, this slave still doesn't understand." Wang Momo didn't understand why a noble man would offend the emperor, wouldn't she be afraid that she would fall out of favor after offending the emperor?

"Soon, you will understand." Tong Guifei put down her pen, didn't say anything more about it, and called Liang Shengrong in, "Go to the House of Internal Affairs to see if there are any interesting gadgets."

"Your Majesty, there are only a few toys that the Ministry of Internal Affairs gives to the elder brothers. You asked the servants to bring some back."

"The House of Internal Affairs has some Western gadgets, go and get some back." Concubine Tong thought for a while and said, "I remember that there is a music box."

"Yes, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has music boxes, but it seems that there are not many of them."

"Go and get one back. By the way, there are other flower tubes." Guifei Tong didn't remember clearly what the Western missionaries entered the palace, "You ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to bring you all the Western things."

"Yes, this servant is going to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"and many more."

"Ma'am, what else do you want?"

"Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs act faster. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager will be back in a few days." The Compassionate Ning Palace and Shoukang Palace have not been inhabited for more than half a year. , "Let them be careful."

"Yes, ma'am."

The little eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs saw Liang Shengrong who was next to the imperial concubine coming, and hurriedly sent someone to invite Hai Laxun, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to come over.

"Eunuch Liang, why did you come in person?" The little eunuch's attitude was very obsequious, "If you need anything, just send someone to let me know, and the servant will send it to you immediately."

Liang Shengrong straightened his back, and lightly shook the whisk in his hand, "The imperial concubine sent a miscellaneous family here, and the head of the sea, the imperial concubine has something to explain to him."

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will arrive.

"I'm here." Hirazon clasped his fists at Liang Shengrong, "Eunuch Liang, what orders does the imperial concubine have?"

"Boss Hai, the imperial concubine please take out all the Western gadgets from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Western gadgets?" Hirazon asked with some embarrassment, "Eunuch Liang, there are a lot of Western gadgets in the House of Internal Affairs, do you really want all of them?"

Liang Shengrong thought for a while and said, "What kind of music box is that, and what kind of fountain, similar to this kind of gadget." After speaking, he added, "It's mainly for the fourth elder brother to play with."

Hyrazon immediately understood: "There are many Western toys suitable for the fourth elder brother." After speaking, he told the little eunuch beside him, "Go and get the music box, kaleidoscope, telescope, and Western building blocks."

"Eunuch Liang, do you want an Western clock and a pocket watch?"

"Forget about the Western clock, take a Western pocket watch."

"Eunuch Liang, the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not have the pocket watches that Western missionaries paid tribute to." Hailaxun felt that he should make it clear first, "The pocket watches of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all made by craftsmen in the palace, and there is no sound when they are opened. Do you want it?"

In the past, the pocket watches paid by Western missionaries were all in Kangxi's place, and these pocket watches would make a sound when they were opened, just like a music box.

"Hold it first." Liang Shengrong wasn't sure if the fourth elder brother liked it, so he took it back and showed it to the fourth elder brother first.

"Okay, then wait a moment." Afterwards, Hirazon asked Liang Shengrong to sit down and drink tea.

Liang Shengrong was not polite to him either, "By the way, Director Hai, the imperial concubine told you to clean and arrange the Palace of Compassion and Shoukang well. In a few days, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager will return to the palace."

"Please rest assured, the imperial concubine, the slave will personally arrange the Palace of Compassion and Shoukang in the next few days, and there will never be any mistakes."

Liang Shengrong chatted with Hirazon for a while, and then left with the Western stuff.

Hai Laxun personally sent Liang Shengrong out of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Before parting, he also invited Liang Shengrong to have a drink together when he had time.

Although Hai Laxun is the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he will be shorter when facing Liang Shengrong and Liang Jiugong, and his attitude towards them is polite and flattering.

It is normal to be polite to Liang Jiugong and the others. After all, Liang Jiugong and the others are eunuchs around Kangxi.Even the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were polite when facing Liang Jiugong and the others.

Liang Shengrong is the chief eunuch next to Concubine Tong, which is different from the chief eunuchs next to other empresses.First of all, other empresses are not as honorable as imperial concubine empresses.Secondly, everyone in the palace knew that the emperor loved and valued Tong Guifei very much.This kind of favor is unique, no other lady can surpass it, not even Wei Changzai who has served the most bedsides in the past two years.

When Liang Shengrong returned to Jingren Palace with the Western gadgets, Xiao Yinzhen had already woken up, and Concubine Tong Guifei was feeding him breakfast.

Seeing that Liang Shengrong brought back a lot of Western gadgets from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Xiao Yinzhen ran towards Liang Shengrong without thinking about breakfast.

"Si elder brother, this is a Western kaleidoscope." Liang Shengrong introduced to Xiao Yinzhen one by one, "This is a Western building block. This is a Western telescope..."

Xiao Yinzhen didn't expect that there were so many Western gadgets in the Kangxi Dynasty, such as kaleidoscopes.

In modern times, he also played with kaleidoscopes as a child, along with binoculars and building blocks.I really didn't expect that in the Qing Dynasty, I could also play with the toys of my childhood in modern times. It's really surprising and nostalgic.

Concubine Tong Guifei saw that Xiao Yinzhen liked the Western gadgets brought back by Liang Shengrong very much, she couldn't help but smiled and said: "Yinzhen, have breakfast first, and play later."

"Okay." Xiao Yinzhen returned to Concubine Tong, and obediently opened his mouth to eat the porridge fed by his mother, "My mother, the Western things brought back by Eunuch Liang are fun."

"As long as you like it." Tong Guifei was not very interested in Western stuff.Before, Kangxi had rewarded her with a Western clock and a Western pocket watch as a tribute from Western missionaries, and she put them away because she thought they were noisy.

"Emiang, are there many Western things in the palace?"

"Not a lot, why do you still want it?"

"I also want to see if there is anything interesting."

"Fourth elder brother, the servant brought you all the fun things in the West, and there is nothing else fun."

"Ah?" Xiao Yinzhen pursed his mouth in disappointment, "Well, I thought there were a lot." It seems that he can only find a way to make some interesting things, otherwise life before the age of six will be very difficult. boring.

When he was six years old, he was going to study in the Shangshufang. At that time, he had no time to play, so he had to play well before he was six years old, otherwise he would be a child in vain.

"If you like Western stuff, you can ask Khan Ama for it."

Hearing Concubine Tong's words, Xiao Yinzhen asked with bright eyes: "Emiang, can I really ask Khan Ama?"

"Yes." Tong Guifei felt that Xiao Yinzhen was still young, and Kangxi would not be angry if she asked Kangxi for some Western gadgets.

"Then can I go to Ama Khan in the afternoon?" Later, he and his third brother will go to the Royal Garden to catch butterflies, and he has no time to go to Ama Khan.In the afternoon, instead of making butterflies with his third brother, he would have time to find Han Ama.

"In such a hurry?"

Xiao Yinzhen nodded heavily, and said seriously, "Yes, it's urgent."

Concubine Tong was amused by Xiao Yinzhen's anxious appearance, "In the afternoon, Erniang will send Liang Shengrong to Qianqing Palace to ask. If you are not busy, you can go to see you. However, you If Khan Ama is busy, you can't go to him, you know?"

Xiao Yinzhen nodded obediently: "Emiang, I understand."

Concubine Tong reached out her hand to touch Xiao Yinzhen's head, and said softly, "Eat breakfast first. After breakfast, Emiang will take you to the imperial garden."

"it is good."

Xiao Yinzhen is very obedient when it comes to eating, he will eat whatever Concubine Tong Gui feeds him.It's not like the third elder brother Yinzhi doesn't eat well.Concubine Tong once saw Concubine Rong try her best to coax the third elder brother to eat.

After breakfast, Concubine Tong took Xiao Yinzhen to the Imperial Garden.When they arrived, they found that Concubine Rong was already in the imperial garden with the third elder brother and the third princess.

When the third elder brother saw Xiao Yinzhen, he ran towards him with joy on his face: "Fourth brother."

Seeing the happy look of the third elder brother, Xiao Yinzhen was stunned for a while, and then called out with a smile on his face: "Third elder brother."

Yinzhi showed off his catching net to Xiao Yinzhen, "Fourth brother, look at my net, I will definitely catch a big butterfly today."

Xiao Yinzhen looked at the catch net in Yinzhi's hand, and found that it was bigger than his.However, it's normal, after all, the third elder brother is taller than him.

"Third brother, I will definitely be able to catch a big butterfly today."

"Then let's catch it now." Yin Zhi dragged Xiao Yinzhen and ran away.

Concubine Tong Guifei saw that the third elder brother directly pulled Xiao Yinzhen away, and said with a smile: "The third elder brother is much more cheerful."

"It's all thanks to the fourth elder brother." Concubine Rong said with a smile, "After going back yesterday, Yin Zhi told my concubine that he likes the fourth elder brother and likes to play with the fourth elder brother."

"Yinzhen also likes the third elder brother to play very much." Concubine Tong looked at the little Yinzhen and Yinzhi brothers not far away, "They are brothers, and they are about the same age, so they can play together naturally."

Concubine Tong thought of her previous life, when Yinzhen grew up, only the thirteenth elder brother and one younger brother supported him and understood him.But others, including his own younger brother Fourteenth Brother, misunderstood him, thinking that he was mean, ungrateful, cold and ruthless.

In this life, Concubine Tong hopes that Yinzhen will not only have the support of the thirteenth elder brother, but also other brothers to support him, so she brings little Yinzhen out to play with the third elder brother.

"That's right, Yinzhi and the fourth elder brother are about the same age in the palace right now."

"In the future, you will bring the third elder brother to Jingren Palace."

"My concubine, if you don't tell me, the concubine will often bring Yinzhi to Jingren Palace." With Concubine Tong's words, Concubine Rong felt more at ease.

Concubine Tong looked at the third princess standing beside Concubine Rong, and said softly, "Third princess, why don't you play with Yinzhen and the others?"

The third princess looked at Concubine Rong, then at Concubine Tong, and asked cautiously, "Can I go and play?"

"of course can."

Seeing her daughter looking at her, Concubine Rong smiled softly at her: "Go and play."

After the third princess bowed to Concubine Tong and Concubine Rong, she ran towards Xiao Yinzhen and the third elder brother.

Xiao Yinzhen chased a yellow butterfly with a catch net longer than him.The third elder brother followed behind him, chasing another red butterfly.

In the imperial garden, hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, attracting many butterflies.

These butterflies are not as smart as yesterday's butterfly, and Xiao Yinzhen catches them all accurately.However, the third elder brother is not as good at catching as he is. After catching for a long time, he only caught one.

Seeing that her younger brother couldn't catch a butterfly for a long time, the third princess was anxious to help him catch it, but she didn't catch it either.

Yipin heard that Concubine Tong and Concubine Rong were enjoying flowers in the Imperial Garden with their children, so they also came to the Imperial Garden.

"Two sisters, don't mind concubines join in the fun."

"sit down."

"Thank you, Concubine Gui." After Yi Pin sat down, she followed the eyes of Concubine Tong and the others, and saw that the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother were catching butterflies, and her heart softened involuntarily.Immediately, when she thought of the fifth elder brother, her eyes were filled with sadness. "I don't know how the fifth elder brother is doing?"

"The fifth elder brother is taken care of by the empress dowager, so you don't have to worry." In her previous life, Concubine Tong didn't understand that Yipin sent the fifth elder brother to the queen mother to raise him. After all, the fifth elder brother was Yipin's first son and was given to the queen mother to raise him , fifth elder brother can only be a rich and idle prince in the future.At that time, she felt that Yipin had ruined Fifth Prince's future.Later, when Kowloon seized the throne, only the fifth elder brother was safe from the beginning to the end. Only then did she know Yipin's intention of sending the fifth elder brother to the queen mother to be raised.

"The imperial concubine is right. The fifth elder brother is taken care of by the empress dowager. What should the concubine have to worry about?" Concubine Yi didn't regret sending the fifth elder brother to the empress dowager to raise him, but it was true that he was worried about the fifth elder brother , after all, the fifth elder brother was young, and traveled long distances with the empress dowager.

Concubine Rong saw that Concubine Yi was worried, and comforted her: "The Empress Dowager will take good care of Elder Brother Fifth, so you don't have to worry too much."

"I'm not worried, I just miss Fifth Brother."

The Empress Dowager followed the Empress Dowager to pray for blessings. At first, the Empress Dowager did not intend to take the fifth elder brother. After all, the fifth elder brother was too young to travel long distances with them to other places, but Yipin insisted on letting the empress dowager take the fifth elder brother. The empress dowager had no choice but to take the fifth elder brother, who was over one year old, with her.This walk is half a year.

Before, the empress dowager did not go out with the empress dowager to pray for blessings, and Yipin would go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to visit the fifth elder brother every day.All of a sudden, she didn't see fifth elder brother for half a year, so Yipin naturally missed her son very much.

"The fifth elder brother is as old as the fourth elder brother, so he should be as tall as the fourth elder brother now."

Concubine Tong looked at the little Yinzhen who was running very happily, with a loving smile on her face: "Children grow up fast, maybe fifth elder brother is taller than Yinzhen."

"Fifth elder brother likes to eat meat, maybe he is actually taller than fourth elder brother."

Not far away, Xiao Yinzhen ran too fast and accidentally fell to the ground. Then he got up quickly, took the catch net, and continued to run after the butterfly.

When Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi saw this scene, they were both very surprised.

"The fourth elder brother didn't cry!"

Seeing their shocked appearance, Concubine Tong said proudly, "Yinzhen never cries when she falls."

"If Yinzhi falls, he will definitely cry..." Concubine Rong hadn't finished speaking when she saw that elder brother also fell, she was so startled that she immediately stood up and shouted, "Yinzhi."

Just when Concubine Rong was about to go and pick up the third elder brother, she saw Yinzhi crawling up like little Yinzhen, holding a catch net and continuing to run after the butterfly.

Seeing this scene, Concubine Rong was stunned.

Usually, the third elder brother would cry in pain if touched a little, let alone wrestle.If he fell, the third elder brother would cry for a long time at the top of his throat.Today, the third elder brother fell down, but he didn't cry, and got up by himself.

"This……"

"The third elder brother probably didn't cry when he saw Yinzhen fall down, so he didn't cry either." Tong Guifei said, "After all, elder brother can't lose to younger brother."

Concubine Rong laughed and said, "It's really possible." Concubine Rong thought of the scene just now, and decided in her heart that Yinzhi must play with the fourth elder brother more in the future.

Concubine Tong watched Xiao Yinzhen and the others run for a while, it was time for them to rest.

"Yinzhen come here."

When Xiao Yinzhen heard Concubine Tong calling him, he immediately ran towards her.

Seeing Xiao Yinzhen running away, Yinzhi and the third princess were stunned for a while, and then ran back with him.

Xiao Yinzhen ran up to Concubine Tong like a rabbit with short legs.

"Er Niang..." Running too fast, Xiao Yinzhen was a little out of breath.

Seeing Xiao Yinzhen's face flushed with sweat from running, Concubine Tong first brought him a cup of tea to feed him.

Xiao Yinzhen lowered his head and gulped down the water.After he finished drinking the water, Concubine Tong took the handkerchief and carefully and gently wiped the sweat from his face and neck.

"Did it hurt just now?"

Xiao Yinzhen shook his head: "No, it doesn't hurt at all."

While wiping the sweat off Yinzhi's face, Concubine Rong asked with concern: "Yinzhi, did you hurt from the fall just now?"

Yinzhi shook his head: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all."

Concubine Rong held back her smile and asked, "Does it really not hurt?"

Yinzhi hesitated for a while, and then said firmly, "It doesn't hurt."

Concubine Rong saw that her son was trying to be brave, so instead of trying to expose him, she praised him instead.

"Yinzhen is so brave today, he didn't cry when he fell down."

Xiao Yinzhen deliberately said at this time: "Mother Rong, did third brother cry when he fell?"

Yinzhi rushed to say: "No, I never cry when I fall."

Concubine Rong matched her son's words, "Yes, Yinzhi didn't cry when he fell down before."

"Oh, that third brother is quite powerful."

When Yinzhi heard Xiao Yinzhen say this, he proudly puffed out his small chest, and said with a proud face, "I have always been very good."

Concubine Rong looked at the lying son amusedly, thinking that it was just like what the imperial concubine said, this child Yinzhi felt that he was an older brother and couldn't lose to his younger brother's fourth elder brother.

"Emiang, I caught a lot of butterflies, take a look." Xiao Yinzhen took the butterflies he caught from Liang Shengrong's hands, there were about a dozen butterflies in a net, and butterflies of various colors, the colors were very gorgeous .

"Yinzhen is really amazing, he actually caught so many butterflies."

"Emiang, I catch more than the third brother."

Yin Zhi said unconvinced: "My net is not good. When I go back and change the net, I must catch more than you."

Concubine Rong touched her son's little head, "Emiang asked someone to make a new net for you."

Xiao Yinzhen suddenly walked up to Yinzhi with a net of butterflies he had caught, and said very generously: "Third brother, here you are."

Tong Guifei didn't expect Xiao Yinzhen to give all the butterflies he caught to the third elder brother, which surprised her very much.However, she quickly thought of what she said to Xiao Yinzhen yesterday, but she didn't expect the child to remember it, and she was really willing to give the butterfly she caught to the third elder brother.

"Third brother, you catch few butterflies, so I'll give you all the butterflies I caught."

Yinzhi was stunned: "Do you really want to give it all to me?"

"Yes, I'll give you all of it, and I'll catch it later." After Xiao Yinzhen finished speaking, he stuffed a net of butterflies into Yinzhi's hand.

Concubine Rong patted Yinzhi on the back lightly, "Yinzhi, thank you fourth elder brother."

"Thank you fourth brother." Yinzhen smiled brightly at little Yinzhen, "fourth brother, you are so kind!"

Yinzhi was very happy to receive a net of butterflies, and in his little heart he felt that the fourth brother was really kind.Even though he grew up later, after more than ten or twenty years, Yinzhi always remembers the butterfly that his fourth brother gave him.
