Chapter 140: Concubine De's Birthday
This time, the expedition against Galdan was not only the emperor's personal expedition, but also brought six elder brothers, so it was rare for the palace to be quiet for a while, but there were still countless undercurrents surging underneath. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Because the eldest brother had an accident again, coupled with Concubine De's birthday in April, it was calm on the surface, there was no male master in the crowd and there was no object to compete for, and there were people who relied on status and were busy doing business, but the North Third Institute was quiet for a month.
But this silence is never going to last long, and there will always be an accident that breaks it.
"But are you ready?" the Guerga clan looked at the three Gege who looked respectful and couldn't really hate her life.
Lan Ying, Song and Li Qishu hurriedly got up and responded, "If you go back to Fujin, you are all ready." ”
"Hmm!" Guarjia nodded, then got up and said, "Let's go!" After speaking, he walked out, got into a sedan chair and walked towards Yonghe Palace.
The Guerjia clan was comfortable, but Lan Ying and the others were forced to do so, because although she was a woman with the status of the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, she did not have the right to take a sedan chair in the palace, unless the queen mother spoke in person, otherwise it would be useless even if Concubine De said it. The distance from the North Three to Yonghe Palace is almost across the entire harem, and when they reach Yonghe Palace, the three of them are a little out of breath, but they still grit their teeth and desperately maintain their manners.
When they arrived at the main hall of Yonghe Palace, there were already many low-ranking concubines congratulating Concubine De.
It's no wonder that they are like this, first of all, Concubine De is now one of the four concubines, and she is in charge of part of the palace power, which is enough for those concubines who are not high-ranking to kneel and lick. Secondly, the eldest son of Concubine De, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, has the attention of the emperor and the crown prince Yinren, although he has not yet taken power, but the future is also bright, the younger son of the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen won the emperor's holy favor, although in the past two years, because of the reason that he moved to the study of the elder brother, the holy favor was gradually divided by the brothers behind, but because of the halo of happy events for the emperor who comforted the grief after the death of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang Wen, and the concubine kept brushing the presence of the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen, the youngest son of the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen can be regarded as the most favored at this stage。
Of course, this is all objective reasons, and at most these make everyone give gifts a little thicker, and the current situation can be reached, or the emperor's message from the front line not long ago.
Concubine De's birthday will definitely not be big at this time, but the emperor sent an edict to allow Concubine De to set up a banquet in Yonghe Palace and invite the concubines who are good friends to have a good time. can make the emperor still think about himself on the battlefield in front, there are very few such concubines, especially now that the emperor is still sitting on the dragon chair. Just this sentence, even if the emperor didn't reward anything, Concubine De felt very face-saving and very satisfied.
But how could the emperor not give a reward on the birthday of his beloved concubine, Zhang Qilin, the chief eunuch who stayed in the Qianqing Palace early this morning, led a group of little eunuchs to send the emperor's reward, which was obviously ordered by the emperor before, otherwise Zhang Qilin and Zhang Gonggong would not dare to act like this. Moreover, the reward sent by Zhang Qilin was not a little, but a lot, and it did not shrink the reward at all because he was now fighting against Galdan.
What does this mean, it means that the emperor's attitude towards Concubine De is still as much as ever, this is the weather vane in the palace, and it is because of this that everyone is so enthusiastic today, and it is not much worse than the birthday of the previous big event. Not to mention the low-ranking concubines below, that is, Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi, and Concubine Rong, who are on a par with Concubine De, how are they unwilling to be jealous in their hearts, and they are going to take a trip today.
Under the compliments of everyone, Concubine De is obviously in a very good mood today, especially with a very dazzling crested hairpin with gold and rubies on her head, which is unforgettable at a glance, and extremely dazzling envy, jealousy and hatred at a glance.
You must know that because of her family background, although Concubine De is usually very favored, and she will fight for things that should be fought for, but in general, Concubine De is usually very low-key, not as high-profile as Concubine Yi, and Concubine De is as plain as water as the title given to her by the emperor.
This form is not only manifested in Concubine De's words and deeds, although Concubine De's dress is not simple, but it will definitely not be so public, and it is also a crested head, because of her identity, Concubine De usually does not touch the jewelry of the crested head, because Queen Xiaoyi especially liked that kind of jewelry during her lifetime, but Queen Xiaoyi is a taboo that cannot be mentioned even if it is the death of Concubine De, so this type of jewelry like the crested head will not be given to Concubine De.
There is only one explanation for the crested hairpin that Concubine Nade is wearing on her head, and the emperor personally rewarded it.
"The daughter-in-law pinches her forehead and asks for peace, and wishes her a blessed life and good health. The Guerjia clan walked up to Concubine De and bowed to Yan Xing.
"Okay, hurry up. Concubine De said happily, although Concubine De had some complaints about the Guerjia clan because of her first impression, but at this time, Concubine De would definitely not throw off the Guerjia clan's face, on the contrary, she would defend the Guerjia clan.
Hearing this, the Guerjia clan got up and stood up straight, slightly on one side, and exposed the three Gege who were still kneeling on the ground, "Forehead, Song Gege, Li Gege and Hua Gege will definitely come to kowtow to you today...... The daughter-in-law thought that this was also their filial piety, so she brought them here. ”
But what the hell is going on, the Guerjia clan and Concubine De know it, but neither of them will say anything about this kind of thing.
"The slave Song/Li/Hua asks for peace to Concubine De, and wishes Niangniang Hua Can, Jin Xuan, and Xuan Pavilion Changchun. Hearing this, the three of them bowed again.
"If you have hearts, get up!" said Concubine De with a smile on her face.
"Thank you for your grace. The three of them got up, and then quickly retreated to the side, there was no question from Concubine De here, but there was no part for them to speak.
After waiting for the three of them to retreat aside, Guerjia said again: "Epin, today is your birthday, my lord and daughter-in-law have prepared a gift for you, you can see if you like it or not." As he spoke, a large box was carried up, and a man was carrying a pamphlet beside him.
Because the fourth elder brother Yinzhen is still in the palace and has not left the palace to open the palace, all the eating, drinking and Lazar are all in the management of the Internal Affairs Office, and because Concubine De is not the emperor or the queen mother, so the congratulatory gift is definitely not like giving it to the emperor and the queen mother, from clothes and pants to bottles and jars. But as Concubine De's own son, the congratulatory gifts from the North Third Institute cannot be too small.
