Female Official In the East Palace

    The invitation of Concubine Niuhulu of Changchun Palace should actually be the invitation of the nobles of Hesheli. The prince refused, Rong Xin asked the third and fourth brothers, and the third brother wanted to go.

    And the third elder brother talked a lot, and said this in the Cining Palace. The empress dowager saw that the fifth elder brother Yinqi was envious, so she asked Rong Xin to take care of one fifth elder brother.

    So when Rong Xin appeared in Changchun Palace, he brought the third elder brother Yinzhi, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen and the fifth elder brother Yinqi.

    Hesheli Keqi didn't see the prince, a moment of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but then he covered it up, his eyes were gentle like water: "Would female officer Rong drink a pot of tea first, or directly Bring a few elder brothers to pick grapes?"

    Rong Xin looked at the third brother inquiringly.

    The third brother immediately said: "I'm not thirsty, I'll go pick grapes now."

    Ke Qi nodded with a smile, "In that case, come with me."

    A few elder brothers followed her to the grape trellis and picked grapes with the help of the palace servants, and Keqi always spoke to them softly and smiling.

    I still remember how timid she was when she first entered the palace, and now she looks like this, which proves that she has a very good life in the palace, Rong Xin can't help but look at Niu Hulu Jilan...

    The imperial concubine Niu Hulu noticed it and looked back, "Rong female officer?"

    "Prince failed to come... Please concubine to console Hesheli."

    "No need to say, I understand." Mrs. Niu Hulu looked at Keqi under the grape trellis and said softly, "Sister Keqi also understands."

    Rong Xin's eyes stayed on her for a moment, then turned away.

    Many things in this world will change, and many things are difficult to transfer. Jilan and Keqi are, to some extent, a continuation...

    "Your Majesty, Concubine Yi is here?"

    "Concubine Yi?" Niu Hulu was a little surprised by Guo Luoluo's unsolicited visit, but she couldn't turn it away, and said, "Please come here."

    When the palace servants retired, Niu Hulu said: "This is really strange..."

    "It's not unusual." Rong Xin motioned her to look at a few elder brothers and said, "The news in the palace is going fast, I must have known it."

    Shi Niu Hulu's eyes stopped on the fifth elder brother Yinqi, and nodded.

    Concubine Yi came in, bowed her knees and bowed with the imperial concubine, and said nothing, went straight to the grape trellis, and carefully spoke to the fifth elder brother.

    Two quarters of an hour later, Concubine Rong Ma Jia also came to Changchun Palace and stood there talking with Niu Hulu and Rong Xin.

    The reason why Concubine Rong is not as eager to get close to her son as Concubine Yi is because she occasionally invites Rong Xin bluntly to take the third elder brother to Zhongcui Palace, the mother and son are separated from each other Days can get closer.

    About the separation of mother and son, concubines who have children in the harem have a similar mood, so it is rare for her not to run on Concubine Yi.

    However, her tolerance is only temporary, and the object is not limited to the person in front of her.

    "I only came in to know that Concubine Yi was here, shouldn't it be a while later that Concubine Shu and De Concubine will also come?" Concubine Rong raised the corner of her mouth and joked, "That's really the case. A rare visitor to Changchun Palace."

     Concubine Niu Hulu calmly replied: "I won't come."

    "The rank of concubine is low, it's not good to come uninvited, Concubine Shu is not necessarily." Concubine Rong brushed a strand of hair from her temples behind her ears and praised hypocritically, "After all, we are gentlemen. The imperial concubine is the most comprehensive, not to mention being a kind adoptive mother?"

     Concubine Niu Hulu still succinctly said: "I won't come."

    Rong Xin raised her eyes, just in line with Concubine Niu Hulu, and they both saw something meaningful in the eyes of the other party.

    Concubine Rong was just talking casually, and didn't really care whether the concubine Tong Jia and Debi Wuya would come or not.

    Seven days later, when Kangxi returned to Beijing, the prince and his elder brothers and concubines lined up at the gate of the palace to welcome the emperor's return to the palace.

    Rong Xin stayed in Yuqing Palace, sitting with Qi Momo, both of them had a very dull reaction to Kangxi's return, no joy.

    After Kangxi returned to the palace, he immediately went to the Cining Palace to visit the Empress Dowager. After seeing with his own eyes that the Empress Dowager had recovered to health, he felt relieved and asked about other matters.

    The prince came back very late, and Rong Xin did not allow him to read again, urging people to go to bed earlier.

    The next day, the eldest brother Yingu appeared in Yuqing Palace, and it was not until night that he came to Rong Xin with a satin package.

    As soon as Rong Xin saw him, he asked with concern, "Brother, are you injured while hunting?"

    The brewing words of the elder brother were blocked in his mouth, and he replied: "I am not injured, and there are always guards around."

    "That's good." Rong Xin smiled peacefully.

    "Auntie," the elder brother put the package on the tea table inadvertently and said, "This is the tanned fur of the prey I hunted, if you don't dislike it, then Take it and make a fur collar..."

    "Naturally I won't dislike it." Rong Xin picked it up and asked with a smile, "This is the first time I have received a fur that I hunted by myself, you don't mind me opening it directly. ?"

    The corner of the big brother's mouth could not be controlled, he raised his hand, and said, "You are free."

    Rong Xin opened the silk and satin package and saw that there were snow-white rabbit fur inside. There were three pieces, which was not much, but he could make a fur collar and a pair of cuffs.

    "This color is just right for me, I will make the best use of it, and I will not waste a single bit."

    "That, that's not necessary." The elder brother glanced aside, not looking at Rong Xin, "If aunt likes it, I will give it to you next year."

    Rong Xin's eyes were full of smiles, "Thank you, brother."

    At this time, the prince came in with the third brother and the fourth brother. The third brother stepped in front of the eldest brother a few steps and asked enthusiastically: "Brother, what's going on in the Xing'an paddock? "

     "Brother, I heard that Huang Ama can hunt black bears, what was the scene like?"

    The third elder brother asked this, the prince and the fourth elder brother also looked at the elder brother, waiting for his answer.

    The eldest brother was very proud and admired: "The black bear was almost two people tall, and everyone around him exclaimed when he appeared, but Huang Ama was calm and composed, the hard bow was full, and the sharp arrow flew out instantly. It hit the black bear's eye in the middle, and when the second arrow was shot, it went straight into the black bear's throat, it struggled for a few breaths, then fell to the ground with a bang, and immediately cheered!"

    The prince and the third and fourth elder brothers were full of admiration in their eyes, Rong Xin laughed, lowered his head and carefully put away the rabbit fur.

    The eldest brother said about the prey that Huang Ama hunted, and said: "The children of the Eight Banners are all very heroic, at least they have hunted one or two prey, and the brave ones have achieved great harvests. A lot, but unfortunately my arm strength is limited and I can't draw a hard bow."

    "Brother, please tell me."

    "It means that Nalan Xingde of Xiangjia, I have been with him almost all the time, the arrow directly penetrated the wolf's throat, very brave; and the son of Prince Anhe Jingxi , I don't look very strong, I don't want to be very good at riding..." The elder brother said a few more children who received awards in this hunt.

    The prince's eyes were slightly dark, and the elder brother did not continue to listen to the words behind.

    Rong Xin noticed that when the elder brothers left the elder brother's office, he came to his study, did not disturb his reading, and only accompanied him quietly.

    The habit of diligent study and concentration developed by the prince over the years, did not put down the book until bedtime, and said: "I heard what the eldest brother said, but I still have a trace of hatred for the children of the Hesheli family. It's not steel, let alone the emperor's forehead."

    It is not because the children of other families are better, but because the younger generation of the Hesheli family is not motivated...

    Rong Xin put his hand lightly on his shoulder and said: "Some people, after enjoying power, wealth and honor for a long time, they will indulge in it, and they don't know how to make progress. Now you see that the children of the Ming family are excellent, Perhaps two or three generations later, the same is true."

    Suo'etu and Mingzhu are both from Manchu surnames, but Suo'etu is the son of the first assistant Sony, and his career is almost smooth; He has come to the power he is today, and he has climbed up little by little by himself.

    Pearl's eldest son, Nalan, was highly appreciated by Kangxi. It is said that Nalan Kuixu, the second son, who is the same age as the prince, is also very good, and few of the eight banners of the same age can compare.

    The prince thought about what Rong Xin said for a long time, and said: "So Huang Ama is very strict with our brothers, just because he doesn't want his descendants to be unworthy and ruin the foundation of his ancestors."

    He was right.

    Rong Xin looked at the prince who was greatly inspired by the little things, and felt that he had less and less influence on him now, but it was the prince who had shaken her many times.

    …

    On the second day, Rong Xin came to the front hall and was invited to the open space by Lu Shen.

     "Miss, do you know what happened last night?"

    "How old are you? How did you learn to sell off?" Rong Xin said directly, "Tell me if you have something to do."

      People are cut off!"

    "Concubine Shu... Concubine Jieyi?" So blatant? Rong Xin was a little surprised.

    There is absolutely no stupid person in this palace, like the concubine Tong Jia, who has never confronted any of the three concubines Hui, Yi and Rong before.

    It is estimated that Yi Fei herself is also shocked and angry.

    After all, the three concubine knew a lot about Concubine Shu, but they couldn't understand her attitude, but they also knew that this competition for favor was always based on their own abilities, and Concubine Shu, Tong Jia, had never done it. That kind of shameless means of overtaking people...

    Suddenly, a thought flashed into his mind, Rong Xin said: "The emperor is not the kind of person who changes his decision at will, could it be..."

    Lu Chen nodded vigorously, his eyes widened slightly because of such an irritating event, and said, "Concubine Shu is pregnant! It was said that after welcoming the emperor back to the palace, he felt a little unwell, so he called the imperial physician to come over, I just found out about this great news.”

    Rong Xin raised her eyebrows and took her words, "So you can't wait to tell the emperor?"

    "Mmmmmmmmm."

    Rong Xin laughed involuntarily.

    "Woman, what are you laughing at?" Lu Chen's eyes were full of "wants to know".

    Rong Xin's smile did not diminish, and pretended to be mysterious: "As long as you know that Concubine Yi can't stand this anger, it is enough."

    Lv Shen was a little anxious, "What does that have to do with your laughing?"

    "So curious?"

    Lu Shen nodded again and again.

    Rong Xin turned around and said, "I won't tell you, I want to go."

    "The female officer—" Lu stomped her feet anxiously, "I've shared it with you."

    Rong Xin's eyes flashed with a smile, and he went straight to find a maid in Yuqing Palace who was good at women's red, and asked her to help sew the fur from the elder brother to the winter clothes.

    The palace maid carefully looked at the three furs and asked, "There are still some left, do you want any more?"

    "Can it be sewn into a rabbit doll? It doesn't matter how big or small it is, it's up to you."

    The palace maid thought for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

    Rong Xin gave her three silver melon seeds, "It's time to work."

    "I ask you for help, it will definitely delay the rest time, you deserve it, just accept it."

    The palace maid refused, but she took it with both hands, "Don't worry, maid, I will definitely do it for you."

    "Look carefully, I'm not in a hurry."

    At the same time, the Chengqian Palace—

    Kangxi's face was expressionless, and he said, "You mean, there is no need to hand over the Gongquan in his hand to the Niuhulu clan?"

    Tong Jiashi, concubine Shu Gui replied gently: "I think, my sister Niu Hulu and I are in charge of the palace affairs, and it is not too tired, why should I put all the palace affairs on Niu Hulu? On the shoulders of sister Hulu, she is younger after all, I am afraid something goes wrong."

      ?"

    Concubine Shu held her stomach, of course she values ​​her rare child, but she has already lost half of the palace affairs.

    Can she still have a place in this palace?

    She managed to regain some of the emperor's affirmation. Empress Renxiao was able to manage the palace affairs during pregnancy. She only managed half of it, why not?

    Then, Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and nodded: "Yes, the concubine will measure it. If the concubine is more than enough, the concubine will naturally resign."

    Kangxi looked at her for a long time, and after Concubine Shu's eyelashes trembled, she said solemnly, "It's up to you."

    Concubine Shu twitched the corners of her mouth, bowed, and said a little bitterly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

    The news that Concubine Shu is still in charge of palace affairs soon spread throughout the harem. Concubine Rong was so full of words that she couldn't hold back. After choosing and choosing, she visited Concubine Hui's Yanxi Palace.

    When Concubine Hui learned that she came to Yanxi Palace, she was even more surprised than Concubine Shugui, Concubine Jieyi, and blurted out when she saw Concubine Rong: "Is this the sun coming out from the west? Concubine Rong actually came to my Yanxi Palace?"

    Concubine Rong didn't need her to let her, so she sat down and went straight to the subject: "Do you think Concubine Shu Gui knows what 'priority' is? What can be important to an imperial heir?"

    Concubine Hui lifted the tea cup gently, blew lightly, and said, "This priority is also raised by Queen Renxiao, otherwise what would you know?"

    "I'm not here to quarrel with you today, if you are so weird again, I won't tell you!"

    Concubine Hui looked at her with a clear "I don't want to tell you".

    Concubine Rong smiled suddenly, leaned back in the chair, and said, "You said that if the eldest prince knew about the cat-scare incident in the Royal Garden, you ordered someone to secretly threaten that **** to commit suicide without any evidence. What would he think of spreading Rong Xin's rumors again?"

    Concubine Hui's eyes were cold, and she stabbed Concubine Rong sharply, "There is no evidence, Concubine Rong, don't talk nonsense."

    "What does it matter if I have no evidence or no evidence?" Concubine Rong was not afraid at all, but continued, "As long as there is a rumor, it is a thorn in the big brother's heart, after all Rong Xin is like an adoptive mother to Big Brother..."

    "You came to me to say this?"

    Concubine Rong was still proud: "They also guessed that it was because you made a bracelet to blame Concubine Shu, so the emperor punished you, but they didn't know that was not the case at all."

     Concubine Hui gritted her teeth, "Ma Jia's..."

    Concubine Rong didn't care about her discoloration, and suddenly asked: "Can you speak properly? Do you think Concubine Shu really thinks she can imitate Empress Renxiao?"

    Concubine Hui: "..." The brain is sick.

    Concubine Rong still said to herself: "She is neither Empress Renxiao nor Rong Xin by her side, her brain is broken, and she wants to manage palace affairs even when she is pregnant? She is not always Weak?"

    Concubine Hui said with a blank expression: "If there is no imperial garden, when the harem is sealed again, even if she is not an empress, she should be an imperial concubine. But the emperor, because of her incompetence, took away half of the palace power. It is normal to think about a lot of points when it was said that he didn't even advance to a single rank when he was in Dafeng."

    "That's more important as the emperor's heir." Concubine Rong said of course.

    Concubine Hui paused for a while, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, the emperor's heir is important."

    "How do you think Concubine Yi will respond to Concubine Shu?" Concubine Rong's eyes were bright and she said excitedly, "Her jealous temper will definitely be intercepted, do you think there will be any other side? ?"

    Concubine Hui endured: "Just intercepting people is enough to teach Concubine Shu to be restless, and it's too much. Concubine Yi still has some brains."

     "Also, when you are pregnant, your thoughts are enough for Concubine Shu to stand it, and she still insists on managing palace affairs."

    Concubine Hui saw that she really had a tendency to talk more and more, and asked: "Are you finished? If you don't make it public, you want to keep things quiet and not teach the elder brother to know, if you talk too much, it won't be good."

     Concubine Rong's eyes widened, "Is it true?!"

    “…”

    Concubine Hui grabbed the tea cup tightly and said angrily, "So you lied to me?"

    Concubine Rong smirked, "That's not true, my guess is entirely based on what I know about you."

      Staying in your palace guessed it?"

    "Ma Jia's!"
