Female Official In the East Palace

    The Empress Dowager did inquire about the prince's marriage, and Rong Xin and the prince were not deceived.

    The Empress Dowager began to go downhill after returning from Wutai Mountain. On the night of midsummer last year, she suddenly froze and was unable to speak. In each case, it was a sign of a stroke. Treatment, but also left sequelae.

      The fifth elder brother Yinqi under his knees.

    It may be really unfair compared to other elder brothers, but she has lived to a rare age, and she is sick and weak, and no one dares to criticize the empress dowager for her partiality.

    The prince was grateful for the love of the empress dowager, so he went to the Cining Palace to serve in a little spare time, and Rong Xin naturally accompanied him there.

    The Empress Dowager is normal most of the time, but occasionally her speech is slurred. In order to cover up, she will speak very slowly.

    The prince listened patiently to her as if he did not know.

    However, the prince is really busy now, no matter how he wants to accompany the empress dowager, Rong Xin will stay with the empress dowager for a while on behalf of the prince after the prince pleases him to leave.

    In the past two years, Changchun Palace has been planted with all kinds of things by concubine Niu Hulu and noble people in Hesheli. They could not eat it all by themselves. Except for Yuqing Palace, most of them were dedicated to Ci. Ning Palace and Qianqing Palace.

    Rong Xin cleansed her hands and served the Empress Dowager with a silver fork to eat watermelon soaked in cold water.

    "I heard that Yinren asked his emperor Ama to resign, and he doesn't want to accompany the emperor to patrol outside the fortress?" The Queen Mother asked, "But do you miss me?"

    Yes, Rong Xin had no reason to hide it, so he replied with a smile: "His Royal Highness is also filial. You had a headache a few days ago, which really frightened His Highness."

    The Empress Dowager had tenderness in her eyes, but then she shook her head and said, "I know his filial piety, but the emperor's fortunate tour outside the fortress also intends to meet Mongolian ministries, Yinreng is my Qing Dynasty. The crown prince can teach the Mongolian tribes that our country in the Qing Dynasty is stable and powerful, and at the same time, we can see the demeanor of the prince."

    The Qing and the Russian Yaksa were victorious in the war, but the war was very heavy, so even if Kangxi knew that the Junggar tribe had ties with Russia, he also intended to peacefully resolve the Mongolian civil strife.

    In order to show the Mongolian tribes that there were successors in the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi specially ordered the four elder brothers to go together. Among them, the outstanding prince and elder brother who had grown up played a particularly important role.

    The Crown Prince knew the consideration of Emperor Ama well, and also knew that he was able to win face for Emperor Ama in the Mongolian ministries, but it was of great significance to face him, but there was a dilemma in the world, on the one hand, the overall situation and future, on the other hand It is the empress dowager who loves him. With his heart, the balance in his heart is naturally inclined towards the latter.

    Suo Etu, including Tang Bin and others, strongly persuaded the prince to follow the emperor to patrol outside the fortress.

    If it is only from the interests of the prince, Rong Xin's heart... actually agrees with Suo Etu and Tang Bin.

    But the prince is thirteen years old this year, he should learn to listen to the opinions of others, and he should have his own decision, so Rong Xin did not have any words of persuasion before, only silently indicated to the prince her attitude.

    At this time, the empress dowager clearly wanted Rong Xin to persuade the prince.

    Rong Xin pondered for a moment, then replied: "The servant is not a refusal, it is only persuaded by the servant, it is better for the emperor to express his interests to His Royal Highness himself, after all, the servants are not very involved in the affairs of the court. clear."

    The Empress Dowager sighed, "You are right."

    Unconsciously, the Empress Dowager had eaten seven or eight pieces of watermelon, and eating too much was useless.

    The Empress Dowager immediately said unhappily: "I can't go out of the palace to escape the summer heat. Wouldn't it be better to eat two more pieces of ice watermelon to cool down?"

    The palace maid stopped and did not dare to move, Rong Xin looked very embarrassed, "We have the emperor and the prince above us, if you teach you to use too much abdominal pain, the servants and others will be really embarrassed. It's a death toll..."

    The relationship between Su Malagu and the Empress Dowager was different. Hearing the words, she directly took the fruit plate from the hand of the palace maid and respectfully said: "The Empress Dowager, your body is the best, this watermelon is a servant. withdraw."

    The Empress Dowager's slightly chubby face is still full of unhappiness, she was directly angry, she turned around, lay down with her back to Rong Xin, and left her there to hang out. .

    Rong Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, when she saw Su Mala waving at her outside, she bowed to the Empress Dowager and left the bedroom.

    Su Malagu took Rong Xin's hand and smiled: "The Empress Dowager likes the Prince. When the Prince goes outside the Great Wall, please ask the Prince to write more letters and come back, the Empress Dowager will Pleasure."

    She seems to have decided that the prince will still leave the palace, Rong Xin no matter whether the result is really as Su Malagu expected, she nodded and said: "This is certain, mammy and rest assured."

    Su Mala patted her hand, paused for a moment, and then revealed: "The emperor has made plans for the future crown princess, and the queen mother is quite satisfied with her character and morals. "

    Although she didn't say who it was, Su Ma Lagu's words were in the heart of An Yuqing Palace, Rong Xin quickly thanked: "Thank you, I will keep my mouth shut and never publicize it. "

    Su Malagu nodded with a smile, "You, of course I can trust you."

    "You stay, I'll be right back."

    After the prince returned to Yuqing Palace in the evening, Rong Xin realized that Kangxi had made it clear with the prince, and the prince never mentioned the matter of staying in the palace and not going outside the fortress.

    Yuqing Palace has been making preparations with both hands, so on the day that Luan drove off, the Prince accompanied him without any confusion.

    Because the restraints on women in the north are not as strict as those in the Central Plains, Rong Xin was also allowed to attend the banquet with His Royal Highness, and for the occasion, she wore a blue wide-sleeved cheongsam and stood quietly. Behind the prince, it is not inconspicuous.

      ."

    Kangxi's eyes were obscure and unclear. After a long time, he said solemnly and generously: "Now that you have come to the banquet, it must be no problem, take your seats."

      to them.

    The eldest brother can't stand this anger, his eyes are like sharp swords, and his hands under the table are clenched into fists, it seems that he may be angry at any time.

    The prince was calm, and his hands in his sleeves clucked.

    At this time, a man behind the Junggar envoy asked in a rough voice, "Does the Qing Dynasty have sincerity?"

    Rong Xin was standing behind the prince, just in the face of the aggressiveness of the envoys of the Junggar Ministry, and couldn't help but rolled his eyes secretly.

    Who is not sincere?

    If Kangxi didn't want to rest and recuperate, how could he go to great lengths to gather all the Mongolian ministries to come to talk and adjust Mongolian relations?

    The domineering attitude of these people in the Dzungar tribe is very different from the obedience and subordination of the past few years. Obviously, they rely on it, and they no longer regard other Mongolian tribes and the Qing Dynasty in their eyes.

    The Qing Dynasty can't give in, but they can't let the situation stalemate, let them find excuses to break the peace...

    Kangxi raised the glass and drank it, and when the maid filled him with wine, he said: "Manmeng has always been close and intimate, and naturally they should not be separated from each other, and should not sit opposite each other. "

    The prince reacted very quickly, and immediately got up and bowed to Huang Ama: "My son has always admired the extraordinary might of the Mongolian warriors, and I really want to talk to the messenger."

    As soon as the prince finished speaking, the elder brother stood up and sneered at the envoy of the Junggar Ministry, "Please."

    After speaking, without waiting for the other party to reply, he strode to the opposite side and sat directly in the seat originally reserved for the members of the Dzungar tribe.

    The prince smiled warmly, stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture, and at the same time said: "My eldest brother is upright, and you will know that he is very easy to get along with if you have more contact. Characters, presumably will not care about young people?"

    The rough-voiced man from the Dzungar tribe looked at the envoy at the head, and when he saw that he was sitting on the seat of the elder brother of the Qing Dynasty, he followed him one by one.

    Kangxi sat in the main seat, his eyes flashed with satisfaction, and then he said a few words and raised his glass to start the banquet.

    No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, on the surface, they are staggering and laughing.

    The prince sat next to the messenger of the Dzungar tribe, naturally they could not help but exchange a few words, but the other party seemed to do it on purpose, and the words were thorny.

    The prince smiled neither humble nor arrogant: "I am indeed a light drinker. If the messenger wants to drink hard, there are a lot of people in my eight banners, and they will definitely accompany you to your fullest."

     "Of course I won't embarrass the weak, whichever is massive, I can recruit as much as possible."

      I'll do it for you?"

    "Aunt?" The prince looked worried, waited for Rong Xin to nod his head confidently, and then said to the envoy of the Zangar department, "May I have a few glasses of wine from the female officer beside me to the envoy?"

    Rong Xin said in a somewhat provocative tone: "The jade brewed nectar at the banquet has a weak taste. It must be difficult to teach the messenger to have a good time. Why not drink strong wine?"

    The messenger looked up and down at Rong Xin, then laughed and said loudly, "How can I be afraid of you as a woman? Bring wine!"

    Rong Xin was slightly startled because of his name, but then returned to normal, lightly instructing the maid: "Go and get a burning knife."

    Just as the maid was about to retreat, Rong Xin stopped her again and said, "Since the messenger likes to drink heavily, bring two more bowls."

    "Yes, Mrs. Rong."

    The eyes of the people around her were cast to this place, but Rong Xin didn't care, she swung forward and knelt on the ground, calmly taking care of her particularly large sleeves in summer .

     "Oh, women in the Central Plains are really troublesome."

    Rong Xin adjusted her sleeves for a while, raised her head and smiled softly at those who looked down on her, "You are right."
