Emperor Concubine Tong was grounded, and only claimed that it was an accidental fire in Jingren Palace, and the imperial concubine was frightened by fetal gas, so she needed to recuperate, and no one was allowed to disturb her. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At that time, the palace people of Jingren Palace were severely warned, and naturally no one dared to disobey the holy decree and chew the root of their tongue.

Kangxi was dignified, and for a while, there were no rumors in the palace.

After the concubine Tong was grounded, she only appeared once on Chinese New Year's Eve. Years later, the front hall of Jingren Palace has been renovated, but Emperor Tong's concubine still has not lifted the grounding order, and she has to continue to raise the baby behind closed doors.

Emperor Tong was too busy to take care of herself, so naturally she had no time to punish Bai Tan severely.

Zhao Yan also took the opportunity to discuss with Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong, and Concubine Yi about the disposition of Bai Tan: he was fined for one year and demoted to a third-class palace maid.

Bai Tan was Zhao Yan's dowry, and after Zhao Yan became a concubine, she gave the only three first-class palace maids to her, Su Ying and Shu Yun.

Now that she has been lowered by two ranks, she has been reduced to a third-class rough palace maid, and she is just a bystander.

As usual, the little master who serves the lady in the palace closely has to be a first-class and second-class palace maid, and the third-class is a woman in the family, doing heavy work. However, how could Zhao Yan really ask Bai Tan to do heavy work? Naturally, he still served her as close as before.

"Now I have wronged you to be a third-class palace maid, and when this matter is over, this palace will find an opportunity to raise your level. Zhao Yan smiled and comforted.

Bai Tan's eyes were red, "It is already a great fluke for the slave to come out alive and continue to serve the mother!"

Zhao Yan smiled and said, "Out of the Shen Criminal Division, this is a happy event." Why are you crying?"

Bai Tan hurriedly rubbed his sleeve with tears.

Zhao Yan smiled: "You have been imprisoned in the Shen Criminal Division for so many days, and you are also wronged. You should recuperate for a few days, and then it's not too late to come back and serve. ”

Bai Tan looked at his dirty and smelly clothes, his face was slightly embarrassed, so he bowed and quickly retreated.

The spring of Kangxi's twenty-second year came quietly.

Kangxi didn't suspect the ice sculpture lantern maid. Zhao Yan had actually prepared for the worst to be known to Kangxi, anyway, her purpose was just to scare Emperor Tong's concubine, and Kangxi would not be too angry.

However, Kangxi didn't find out......

Zhao Yan narrowed her eyes, Hu Qingxi knew the cause and effect of this matter......

In other words, Hu Qingxi did not report this time.

Is it because Hu Qingxi is also involved? Are you afraid that you won't be able to get out of it?

Or is Hu Qingxi already a little loyal to her? Do you want her to fall out of favor with Kangxi because of this?

Hu Qingxi is the chief eunuch of her Zhongcui Palace, and in the final analysis, only when Zhao Yan is glorious and favored, his status can rise. Hu Qingxi and her are both prosperous and lossy!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan smiled.

It seemed that she could be completely relieved.

"What are you laughing at!" Kangxi's face was magnified several times and presented under Zhao Yan's eyes.

"Ahh

Bloody eggs, like ghosts!

Kangxi smiled and poked Zhao Yan's forehead, "I just came in! You're good, holding your cheeks and smirking there in a daze!"

You're just smirking!!!" Zhao Yan glared at him with a dark face.

Kangxi laughed, his smile was full of banter.

Zhao Yan looked at the layer of sunset golden glow plated on the window, and said with a smile: "Isn't the emperor turning over the brand of Concubine Wen today? Why did he come to the concubine?"

Kangxi smiled, "Well, she'...... It's inconvenient to sleep. ”

Zhao Yan couldn't help but be suspicious, "It's inconvenient to sleep, is Concubine Wen sick?"

Kangxi said vaguely: "What does Grandma care about her?

Zhao Yan pursed her mouth and said, "The emperor seems to be very fond of the concubine recently. ”

Kangxi hurriedly held her hand and said softly, "I just have some considerations from the previous dynasty in it...... Although the Tong family is my mother's family, I can't let the Tong family upset the balance of the court. Over the years, Niu Hulu's family has been quite peaceful, and Niu Hulu's temperament seems to have changed slightly, so I gave her a little favor. ”

It's for the future, and it's for the balance!

The birth of Emperor Tong Guifei, if she gives birth to just a princess, if it is an elder brother, it will shake the status of the crown prince Yinren.

If the prince is unstable, the court will be uneasy.

Therefore, Kangxi's pampering of Concubine Wen and Niu Hulu is also balanced.

I have to say that Kangxi is a master of playing balance.

The former dynasty should be balanced, and the harem should also be balanced.

After such a night of bondage, there is no need to say more.

The next day, Zhao Yan slept on three poles before she got up lazily. Soak your hands in warm water with rose juice and soak them for a long time until they are soft and fragrant.

Use rose juice to wash your hands, and add some babai powder to wash your face. Babaisan is a powder made of white cloves, white tribulus terrestris, white silkworm stiff, white root, angelica, white aconite, white poria cocos eight flavor medicinal materials, and then added soaphorn powder.

Washing your face in warm melt water gives you a cleansing effect, and Babai powder has a moisturizing and whitening effect, and it is said that it can also prevent acne and freckles. Well, Zhao Yan has acne freckles in the wood, and she doesn't know if it has this effect, she just thinks that using this wash is quite clean and not tight, so she has been using it since she entered the palace.

It was Babaisan who was offered by the imperial physician Zhou Binghuan, and it can be regarded as dedication.

After washing your face, moisturize your skin with potpourri water, and then apply a layer of red jade cream. Ancient pastes were oily, so they should be used with extra care, otherwise the face will be ugly.

After rubbing, you also need to massage the face carefully to let the skin slowly absorb the ointment, and then you can apply jade peach blossom pollen, rose rouge, and then use snail dai to trace the eyebrows.

Zhao Yan didn't apply much grease powder to her face, but it took a full two quarters of an hour.

Zhao Yan was looking at her flag in the mirror, that was when she was just wiping fat and powder, and the shelf that the palace maid Suying combed for her was smooth and smooth, which was very good.

Bai Tan came up with a box of jewelry, "This year's Jin Lei Silk Dotted Cui Hairpin presented by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is of excellent color." As she spoke, she took out the golden silk emerald butterfly hairpin, which was indeed exquisite.

Zhao Yan nodded, there are butterflies, and there must be flowers to match, but she doesn't like large silk flowers, so she chose a gem-inlaid tourmaline hairpin next to the butterfly hairpin, the bright and light red petals with the emerald butterfly complement each other.

was dressing up, Hu Qingxi reported outside the curtain: "Niangniang, Concubine Wen is here!"

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "First serve tea in the front hall, and the palace will go over immediately!"

So he didn't choose the jewelry carefully, only took a pair of Nanzhu earrings and brought them, and put on a brocade Ruyi shoulder, and went to the front hall to see the guests.
