[Comprehensive Wear] A good brother's life

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is turning over Wei Changzai's sign tonight."

When Concubine Tong heard Liang Shengrong's report, her expression didn't change at all, she nodded lightly and said, "I know."

"Your servant will leave." Liang Shengrong withdrew respectfully.

"The emperor flipped over Wei Changzai's sign again, Yipin is going to be angry again." Madam Wang suddenly asked curiously, "Madam, do you think Madam Yipin will intercept the emperor tonight?"

"No, she doesn't dare." Last night, he cut off the emperor halfway, but failed to keep the emperor, which showed that the emperor was dissatisfied with Yibi's repeated complaints about being sick and stopping him. "If she repeats her tricks tonight, it will really annoy the emperor. She is not such a stupid person."

"Your Majesty, tonight, the Emperor turned over Wei Changzai's sign again, didn't he..." Wang Momo didn't dare to tell Kangxi's fault, "The Emperor has been busy with business in the previous court and hasn't come to the harem for a long time. Junzhan, isn't it inappropriate for the emperor to turn over the signboard where Wei often stays for two days in a row..."

Wang Momo hadn't finished her sentence when she saw Concubine Tong look at her coldly, she was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground, "I'm a talkative slave, I beg your forgiveness."

"Are you able to discuss the emperor's affairs?" Concubine Tong's tone was a little harsh, "Besides, what's so surprising about it being two days in a row." The emperor once turned over the sign that Wei often used for three days in a row.

"It's the slave who made a fuss."

"The emperor knows it well." The emperor will turn over the sign that Wei often uses for at most three days in a row, and will definitely not turn over the sign that Wei often uses for four days in a row.

"Your Majesty, Wei Changzai has always been the concubine who attends the most bedtimes." If the emperor is not busy with the affairs of the previous court, Wei Chang will definitely attend the bedtime more than five times a month, sometimes even ten times.The number of times Wei Chang went to bed in a month was even more than that of some concubines in a year. "If you don't persuade the emperor, when the empress dowager comes back, she will talk about you again."

Concubine Tong said indifferently: "Let her talk."

"Your Majesty, why have you never persuaded the emperor about Wei Changzai?" Wei Changzai's background was too humble, and the emperor favored her so much, it was actually not very kind to the emperor. "The empress dowager has always opposed the emperor favoring Wei Changzai."

"Why would I do such a thankless thing?" Tong Guifei said, "I will not upset the emperor for the sake of the empress dowager. Besides, the emperor knows it well, so why should I worry about it. "

Wang Momo asked, "Do you really not mind at all?"

"What do you mind?" After Tong Guifei finished speaking, she added meaningfully, "I am a noble concubine!" Even if she was not a noble concubine, she would not mind.Before she entered the palace, she knew her duties, so she had no affection for the emperor.

Falling in love with the emperor is the most stupid thing in the world.If a concubine in the harem falls in love with the emperor, basically there will be no good end.She doesn't have any feelings for the emperor, so she has always been calm and measured, and will not do anything to anger the emperor.

Concubine Tong was sitting on the couch, reading the book leisurely, her tone sounded a little careless: "If this palace minded everything, wouldn't it be that I would have pissed myself off a long time ago."

When Wang Momo heard what Concubine Tong said, she was slightly relieved and at the same time felt inexplicably distressed.

"Your Majesty, the slave is stupid."

Concubine Tong glanced at Wang Momo, her tone contained a warning: "Don't say such things in the future."

Wang Momo's heart tightened, and she said respectfully and in awe: "Yes, ma'am."

Concubine Tong put down the book in her hand, got off the couch, put on her shoes, and went to the side hall next door.

Nanny Feng, who was guarding Xiao Yinzhen's bed, saw Concubine Tong coming, and hurriedly got up to salute: "I have seen Concubine Gui."

Concubine Tong Guifei walked to the bed and saw two luminous pearls on Xiao Yinzhen's bed, she couldn't help laughing.She turned her head and told Nanny Wang, "Bring me that night pearl from my palace."

Nanny Wang was surprised, but didn't dare to say anything.

"Yes, ma'am."

Concubine Tong Gui sat by the bed and stretched out her hand to pull the quilt for Xiao Yinzhen.

Wang Momo walked up to Concubine Tong with a square brocade box, "Your Majesty, Ye Mingzhu is here."

Concubine Tong took out the Ye Mingzhu and immediately placed it beside Xiao Yinzhen's left pillow.

She sat on the bed and watched Xiao Yinzhen for a while before returning to her bedroom.

After Concubine Tong left, Nanny Feng clicked her tongue inwardly when she saw the huge night pearl on the left side of Xiao Yinzhen's pillow.There are only three such big luminous pearls in the whole palace.The imperial concubine has one, and the remaining two are taken by the empress dowager and the empress dowager.

I heard that such a big luminous pearl is priceless, and the imperial concubine actually gave it to the fourth elder brother.The imperial concubine is really generous, and she is really kind to the fourth elder brother.

The next day, Xiao Yinzhen woke up and was shocked to see the big night pearl on the bedside.This luminous pearl is as big as a bowl, and is green all over, very beautiful.

Nanny Feng told him that this luminous pearl was sent by the imperial concubine last night.

After Xiao Yinzhen washed up, she went to Concubine Tong Gui, "Emiang, why did you give me your Big Night Pearl?"

"It's useless to keep Er Niang, it's better to play with you."

Xiao Yinzhen was stunned by Concubine Tong Guifei's arrogant words.Why did he feel that this priceless night pearl was as inconspicuous as an egg in the eyes of his mother.

"Er Niang, what if I mess up the game?"

"It's fine if you play badly." Concubine Tong's tone was very casual, "It's not a good thing."

Uh... Isn't such a big night pearl a good thing?

"Use it as a lamp in your dormitory, it won't be dazzling."

The priceless Ye Mingzhu was said by his mother to be used as a night light, it's really... ah!

"Are you hungry?"

Concubine Tong didn't say anything, but Xiao Yinzhen didn't feel hungry yet.As soon as she said that, he was hungry immediately.

"hungry."

"Let's have breakfast." Concubine Tong carried Xiao Yinzhen to the dining hall, "We'll have wontons for breakfast today, do you want to eat?"

"Want to eat."

Children's intestines and stomachs are relatively fragile, and the small kitchen in Jingren Palace makes meals for Xiao Yinzhen that are relatively soft and easy to digest.

In addition to wonton, there are also beef porridge, steamed bread, ham and so on.

Concubine Tong Guifei personally feeds Xiao Yinzhen three meals a day.Mommy Wang and the others refused to let them feed them.

"Emiang, do you want to go to the Royal Garden to play with the third brother this morning?"

"Brother San has to rest for a day today, and we will play with him tomorrow." Brother San is not in good health. He ran all morning yesterday, so it is normal for him to be tired.Having said that, it is already very good that the third elder brother did not get sick yesterday. "Your third brother is not in good health, he can't run around and catch butterflies every day."

"The third brother is so pitiful." Xiao Yinzhen said sympathetically.

"Do you want to be like your third brother?"

Xiao Yinzhen quickly shook his head: "I don't want to."

"Then you have to eat well, so that you can grow strong." Tong Guifei scooped up a wonton and blew it on her lips, then fed it to Xiao Yinzhen's mouth, "If you grow strong, you won't get sick easily."

Xiao Yinzhen carefully took a bite of the wonton.Since the wontons were a little hot, he blew straight.

"Er Niang, I will have a good meal."

"Yinzhen is really good."

After Xiao Yinzhen finished his breakfast, he sat on the couch and played with Western building blocks.

At this time, Kangxi called Nan Huairen Yushufang, and asked him if Xiyang had any interesting toys.

Nan Huairen was stunned by the question, and then said that they had a lot of fun toys in Xiyang, but he didn't bring them.However, he can do it.

Kangxi asked him to make more Western toys.

"Your Majesty, may I ask you what you want Western children's toys for?"

"For the fourth elder brother." Kangxi said in a doting tone, "The fourth elder brother wants your Western and fun toys."

Fourth elder brother?

Nan Huairen had never met the fourth elder brother, he had only met the eldest elder brother and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Does the fourth elder brother not like music boxes?"

"I don't like it very much."

"Then let me make a harmonica and give it to the fourth elder brother." Nan Huairen said again, "Let me make a very small violin and give it to the fourth elder brother."

"Okay, but you have to move faster, otherwise that child Yinzhen will be in a hurry."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Nan Huairen didn't stay in the imperial study for a long time, after leaving the palace and returning home, he hurriedly started making Western toys.

Kangxi asked Liu Jinzhong to go to Jingren Palace and told Concubine Tong that he was going to have lunch at noon.

At noon, Kangxi came to Jingren Palace.When Xiao Yinzhen saw him, he asked him what fun things he had.

Kangxi thought to himself that he had guessed right, the child was in a hurry to ask for Western toys.

"I have asked Nan Huairen to do it for you, but it will take a few days."

"Ama Khan, who is Nan Huairen?"

"Nan Huairen is a missionary from the West. He said that there are many interesting toys in his hometown, but he didn't bring them with him, so he can only make them himself."

Xiao Yinzhen nodded and said, "Okay then, I'll wait a few more days."

Kangxi noticed that on the small table on the couch, there were Western building blocks to build a house.

"Yinzhen, you built this?"

"That's right. Amah Khan, am I strong?"

"The construction is good." Kangxi became interested and built a small house with the remaining building blocks.

"Khan Ama, let's build a house together."

"it is good."

Tong Guifei sat aside, watching Kangxi and Xiao Yinzhen playing with building blocks to build a house.After the father and son have built the house, let the father and son pause and go to the dining hall to have lunch.

During lunch, Kangxi saw that Xiao Yinzhen had a good appetite, and praised him a lot.

After Xiao Yinzhen was praised, he also praised Kangxi for eating two bowls of rice.

Kangxi, who was praised by his son for eating well, couldn't laugh or cry.He hasn't been praised for many years when it comes to eating.He was still a little moved when his son praised him for eating well today.

After lunch, Kangxi did not hurry back to the imperial study, but continued to accompany Xiao Yinzhen to play with building blocks to build a house.

Xiao Yinzhen became sleepy after playing for a while, and was carried back to the side hall by Nanny Feng to take a nap.

"Your Majesty, how did you reward the fourth elder brother with such precious things as opals and night pearls?" Concubine Tong said coquettishly, "You have rewarded opals and night pearls to my concubine before."

"He went to Qianqing Palace to ask me for western toys, but I didn't have any, so I had to give him other things to play with first." Kangxi laughed, "Opals and night pearls are not rare things, so you don't have to worry about them."

"Your majesty, you don't know that the fourth elder brother came back with the opal and the night pearl yesterday, and he showed off to the concubine that you would give it to him, and he would give half to the concubine."

"Really?" Kangxi suddenly thought of little Yinzhen catching butterflies and giving them to Yinzhi, "Yinzhen is quite generous, I heard from him that he caught butterflies and gave them to Yinzhi yesterday."

"Yeah, the concubine didn't think of it either." Concubine Tong told Kangxi in detail about how Xiao Yinzhen and the third elder brother caught butterflies, "The concubine told him before that if he had two butterflies, he could send one as a gift." Unexpectedly, he listened to it and saw that the third elder brother didn’t catch many butterflies, so he gave all the butterflies he caught to the third elder brother. After that, he specially caught some butterflies and gave them to the third elder brother. Princess."

"Do you know what Yinzhen told me?" Kangxi laughed, "He said he was afraid that Yinzhi would not catch butterflies with him in the future, and he would not play with him, so he gave the butterfly to Yinzhi?"

Concubine Tong was surprised: "Huh?"

"Yinzhen is very clever."

Concubine Tong smiled helplessly: "He didn't tell my concubine about this, so it turns out that he still has this little thought."

"However, he can also catch butterflies, so he will give it to Yinzhi." Kangxi thought it was funny, "Yinzhen is clearly a younger brother, but he takes care of Yinzhi like an older brother."

"Your Majesty, the third elder brother cares very much about his identity as an elder brother. Before he fell down, he didn't cry..." Concubine Tong told Kangxi about Xiao Yinzhen and the third elder brother falling while catching butterflies. "The third elder brother didn't cry when he saw the fourth elder brother fall, and he didn't cry when he fell."

Kangxi felt very surprised after hearing this, "There is still this matter."

"Third Elder Brother didn't cry and surprised Concubine Rong."

"Let Yinzhi play with Yinzhen more in the future."

Kangxi chatted with Concubine Tong for a while before returning to the imperial study.

After Kangxi left, Concubine Tong took Mother Wang to the Palace of Compassion and Shoukang.In a few days, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager will be returning to the palace, and she has to come over in person to see how the people in the House of Internal Affairs are doing.

Seeing that the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs arranged things well, Concubine Tong felt relieved.

When she returned to Jingren Palace, she was not surprised to learn that Kangxi had flipped the sign of Concubine Rong tonight.

Concubine Rong didn't expect Kangxi to flip her brand name, but when she knew that Kangxi had lunch at Jingren Palace at noon, she immediately understood why Kangxi would flip her brand name.

Concubine Rong was very grateful to Concubine Tong.

In the next few days, Kangxi was soaked in rain and dew, turning over the brands of concubines one by one.

Concubine Rong was followed by Concubine Yi. Although Kangxi annoyed her before, he didn't really annoy her.

Concubine Yi is not so unacceptable to sleeping behind Concubine Rong.

After the Yi concubine passed away, Kangxi did not turn over the brands of Hui Concubine and Xi Concubine, but the brand of Deguiren.

That night, after the nobleman washed and dressed, he took a sedan chair to go to the Qianqing Palace to attend his bed.

Kangxi didn't go back to his bedroom until the hour of the day, looking at the noble man with gentle brows under the light, a deep look flashed in his eyes.

After some cloud and rain, the noble man leaned in Kangxi's arms and pleaded guilty to Kangxi.

Kangxi was about to tell the nobleman about making clothes for Yinzhen, but he didn't expect the nobleman to plead guilty.

"Your Majesty, a few days ago, the servants made clothes for the fourth brother overnight. They didn't do very well. Please punish me." The nobleman knelt under the dragon bed with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes.Under the light, the virtuous and noble man has a delicate and delicate face, which I feel pity for.

Seeing her like this, Kangxi's heart softened by two points.

"You know it's not good to make clothes overnight, why do you still do it overnight?"

The noble man knelt on the ground, biting his lip lightly, with a hesitant and embarrassed expression.

"Your majesty, slave..."

Kangxi raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the virtuous man's hesitant expression, "Speak up if you have something to say."

"Your majesty, I'm afraid you will be angry if I say this."

Kangxi was very satisfied just now, and now he is in a good mood, and his tone is a bit gentle: "I am not angry, just say it."

"The slave did it on purpose." The nobleman looked at Kangxi, and continued cautiously, "The slave did this on purpose, in order to make the imperial concubine feel that the slave is for the sake of favor, so he made clothes for the fourth elder brother overnight."

Hearing the words of the noble man, Kangxi raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Oh?"

"The slave intentionally made the imperial concubine think that the clothes made by the slave for the fourth elder brother were careless, so that the imperial concubine would be dissatisfied with the slave and would not let the slave make clothes for the fourth elder brother again." The nobleman lowered his head, revealing his snow-white and slender neck.Under the dim light, her figure looked a little fragile.

Kangxi was a little surprised when he heard this, "Why did you do this?"

"Your majesty, it's not that this servant doesn't want to make clothes for Si elder brother, but that it's not good to make clothes for Si elder brother often." The nobleman bit his lips and said, "But it's fine if I don't often make clothes for Si elder brother. not good."

Hearing this, Kangxi already guessed what the noble man wanted to say.

The nobleman continued: "The imperial concubine raised the fourth elder brother. The slave, the biological mother, always sends clothes to Jingren Palace, which will make the imperial concubine mistakenly think that the slave does not believe that she can take good care of the fourth elder brother. At the same time, I will always remind the imperial concubine, the slave She is the biological mother of the fourth elder brother."

When Kangxi heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "The imperial concubine doesn't think so."

Hearing that Kangxi defended and trusted Concubine Tong so much, the virtuous lady was envious and jealous, and her tone became more submissive: "The slave knows that the imperial concubine doesn't think so, but what about the others. The slave's status is low, and he knows that he is not qualified to raise the fourth elder brother , I can’t teach the fourth elder brother well. It is the blessing of the fourth elder brother and the honor of the slave to be raised by the imperial concubine.”

"On the day the fourth elder brother was taken to be raised by the imperial concubine, the servant decided to treat the fourth elder brother as not born of a slave. This would be good for the fourth elder brother, the slave, and the imperial concubine. Although the slave thought so, other people in the palace did not agree. Thinking about it this way, if the slave doesn't go to Jingren Palace to visit the fourth elder brother, he will be said to be cruel, and he will even be said to be ignoring his own son in order to please the imperial concubine."

Kangxi took a deep look at the virtuous man kneeling on the ground, and the virtuous man felt panic and uneasiness in his heart when he felt Kangxi's gaze.She held her hands tightly, the palms of both hands were already wet with sweat.

She calmed down secretly, and continued: "The slave decided to let the imperial concubine misunderstand that the slave does not care about the fourth elder brother, and that the slave does not really care about the fourth elder brother, so that the imperial concubine will love the fourth elder brother even more."

"Do you think the imperial concubine doesn't love Si elder brother enough?"

Kangxi's tone could not be heard to be happy or angry, but the nobleman knew that Kangxi was angry because of her last sentence just now.Sure enough, in the heart of the emperor, the imperial concubine is the best.

"Of course not. Everyone in the palace knows how well the imperial concubine treats the fourth elder brother. To be honest, if a slave raises the fourth elder brother himself, he won't be as thoughtful and meticulous as the imperial concubine." The nobleman looked pale and looked He said in panic, "I don't want the existence of the slave to embarrass the imperial concubine. I don't want the existence of the slave to be a reason for others to attack the imperial concubine. I think this is good for the imperial concubine and the fourth elder brother." After finishing speaking, she knelt down on the ground and pleaded guilty, "Your Majesty, this slave has said a lot of self-righteous things, I beg the emperor to forgive me."

Kangxi looked deeply at the noble man kneeling on the ground trembling.

The noble man knelt on the ground, full of fear and anxiety.She could feel the emperor's cold gaze on her, and she didn't know if her remarks had moved the emperor.

Just when the noble man thought he was finished, he heard Kangxi say: "Get up."

"Your majesty..." The noble man raised his head and looked at Kangxi pitifully, "Your majesty, don't you blame the servant?"

"You are also thinking about Yinzhen and the noble concubine." Kangxi said softly, "Get up."

Seeing that the emperor believed what she said just now, the noble man heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart.She just stood up, but because her legs were weak from the fright, she fell into Kangxi's arms on the dragon bed.

"Your Majesty, this servant deserves to die." The nobleman wanted to get up from Kangxi's arms in shock and fear, but she didn't want her to spin and lie on the dragon bed again.

The noble man blushed suddenly, his eyes were full of shame and love.

"I promise you that you don't have to make clothes for Yinzhen in the future."

The virtuous man expressed gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty." However, she was a little too happy, and then she heard Kangxi say, "The clothes you make are not as good as those made by the embroiderer in the palace, and it is not comfortable for Yinzhen to wear them. .”

Hearing this, the expression on the nobleman's face immediately froze, and just when she was about to plead guilty again, she heard Kangxi say again: "However, your intentions are good."

"Your Majesty..." The noble man was taken aback by Kangxi's words.

After that, the noble man couldn't think of anything.After everything was over, she hurriedly left Qianqing Palace.

According to the rules in the palace, concubines cannot sleep on the dragon bed all night when they are sleeping in the Qianqing Palace.After the bed service is over, the concubine will leave and return to her palace.

The noble lady dragged her limp body back to Xianfu Palace, and when she woke up the next day, the emperor rewarded her with many things.

She knew in her heart that the emperor believed what she said last night, and the emperor felt that she had wronged herself for the sake of the fourth elder brother and the noble concubine.

The nobleman was very excited, she was right with what she said last night.From then on, in the emperor's heart, she was a mother who endured humiliation for the sake of her children.At the same time, she did this for the sake of the imperial concubine.The emperor has always attached great importance to the imperial concubine and empress. If she considers the imperial concubine and empress so much, the emperor will remember her in his heart.Also, the emperor felt guilty towards her.

Concubine Xi saw that the emperor not only did not punish the virtuous man, but also rewarded the virtuous man, she was very curious about what kind of tricks the virtuous man used.

What she said to the imperial concubine in Jingren Palace before, she did not believe that the imperial concubine did not tell the emperor.Since the emperor knew that the virtuous man deliberately made clothes for the fourth elder brother overnight in order to win favor, why didn't he get angry and punish the virtuous man?

Xi Concubine didn't know what methods the nobleman used, but she was now sure that the nobleman had more means than she imagined.

In Jingren Palace, Mother Wang turned her nose out of anger when she learned that the emperor had rewarded a bunch of things to noble people.

"Niang Niang, has the emperor forgotten what you said to the emperor before?"

"No." Concubine Tong Gui was not at all surprised that the emperor rewarded the virtuous man, "This is the purpose of the virtuous man to let the emperor know that she made clothes for the fourth elder brother overnight."

Nanny Wang didn't understand at first, but she finally understands now.

"Mother, the noble lady..." Wang Momo was dumbfounded by the nobleman's scheming.

"If my guess is correct, the reason why she did what she did with the emperor last night was for the good of this palace, and also for the good of Si Elder Brother." Concubine Tong narrowed her eyes slightly, and there was a gleam of coldness in her eyes, "I really can't underestimate you." she."

Mother Wang gasped in shock, "This... this..."

Concubine Tong Gui smiled deeply: "It's good that the emperor believes in her."
