The Commander's Wife felt that the side Fujin was too bright, and gave herself a bulging bag of colored beads, as well as a pile of colorful brocade materials and unnamed living materials. It's really something that the Qing Dynasty doesn't have, it's golden, and it dazzles people's eyes. The fifth day of returning home from the Rui Wang's Mansion was the day to visit his daughter in the palace. In order not to be detained by the eunuch who was inspected, the commander's wife did not bring all the things that Yun'er gave her at one time. Instead, he wore some of the colored beads into bracelets and necklaces and wore them on his body. The brocade was tied around his waist, and the rest was simply sewn into the pockets of his undershirt. The eunuchs who inspect the goods entering the palace only inspect the baggage, and do not search the body. It's a body search, and the jewelry worn by the commander's wife doesn't dare to be buckled, right? In this way, part of the materials for doing work went to Concubine Tong's hands. The Commander's wife is a chatterbox, and she can't close the conversation when she opens the chatterbox: "Does Niangniang know who gave you these things?" ”

"It must have been given by the eldest sister, how can we have these things in our house that the Qing Dynasty doesn't have?"

"You guessed wrong, it was given by the side Fujin of the Niangniang's sister's house. The commander's wife looked left and right, and whispered, 'I gave a purse of such beads, and my mother didn't dare to bring them in, for fear that they would be confiscated.' Bring some in next time. You're too quiet here, and you can take some time for sewing some gadgets if you have nothing to do. ”

"Mother, are you telling the truth? The daughter of the side Fujin in my sister's house has never seen it, how can she give her daughter such good things? ”

"Silly girl, isn't she looking at your Xiu'er sister's face? Why is she also a side room, not respectful to your sister? However, my mother also saw that there were a lot of adults in this woman, and it was impossible to change people. As you said, you don't know her, and she's not favored, so there's no need for her to be courteous to you. But you see, that's less than a third of that. ”

"When you go back, you must thank Fang Fujin. The daughter also had nothing to give her in return. ”

"You don't need it, there is a mother, and I will give you some good treatment."

"Then thank you. These things can be used for a month, and when they are gone, they will be available again next time, Aya'er is so happy! ”

"It's good if the mother is happy, it's good! By the way, the side blessing means that these things are better not to be seen by others. ”

"My daughter understands, the people here...... Alas, no more. ”

"Your sister Xiu'er said that the third prince must be promising, and one person can withstand thousands of troops. It's too high, we don't dare to think about it, it's okay to be a prince and a county king, right? When he grows up, gets married, and opens the mansion to live, you and the emperor ask to go out of the palace to live with your son! ”

"My daughter has this idea, and at that time she will be much more comfortable in her actions, she can go to her sister's house and chat with you."

"So, don't think too much about it, after you go back, your mother will have a good relationship with Fang Fujin, so that you can get a little more novel materials that they brought back when they traveled, and do needlework in their own bedroom, so that no one of them hurts!"

A rare smile appeared on Concubine Tong's lonely pretty face, and the materials Yun'er gave her were really in her heart. To be a woman to the emperor, who doesn't say that it is glorious, rich and endless? But only Concubine Tong knows that the Forbidden City is a murderous cave without blinking, a cage without shackles. He was born in the Han military banner, and he was originally not qualified to enter the palace, nor was he selected in the draft, but the queen mother said: "Lao Tong is a leader who has worked hard and made great achievements, so take his granddaughter into the palace." ”

So Concubine Tong became a dispensable person among the many women in Emperor Shunzhi. There are also favored days during the period, otherwise how could there be three princes? But those days were short-lived. Jingren Palace has become a corner of the world for Concubine Tong, except for greeting the Queen Mother, the rest of the time is spent here. The emperor may not even have given a corner as big as a corner to Concubine Tong, but her ancestor attached himself to Taizu when Taizu first started his army, and gave most of the family property to Taizu as military resources. After that, he was also loyal to Taizu before and after the saddle, and Concubine Tong's father was still loyal to the next generation of emperors of the Qing Dynasty. After the death of his uncle, the position of "Commander of the Blue Banner of the Han Army" was inherited by his father Tong Tulai, although it was inherited, the credit was not small, and he participated in many major battles, so the emperor's dragon chair also has the credit of the Tong family. But after Concubine Tong entered the palace, she was just a concubine, far away from the four concubines of Gui, Xian, Shu, and De. It's just a concubine, and she is not treated well by the emperor, so she forgot that there was such a person after she was thrown in Jingren Palace. If there is no third prince, it is better to give birth to a son for him, it will be almost like air!

Concubine Tong is a very kind and gentle girl, she is a typical lady, and she is also beautiful, although she is not as good as Concubine E, she is not ignorant. It's just that he won't charm the emperor, and he doesn't know how to get the emperor's pity. Now that he is disheartened, he has no idea of approaching the emperor, and the person who is only twenty years old will be depressed.

Seeing the materials Yun'er gave her to make work, a rare smile appeared on her face. After my mother left, she hid all the materials and left a little for use. Every day after greeting the Queen Mother, I came back to do needlework, and according to the size of the fabric, I didn't waste any knick-knacks.

Concubine Tong's personal palace maid has a woman named Mo'er, who is a clever girl, and when she saw the materials used by her master, her eyes widened: "Where did you get this from?" ”

"Shhhh Don't babble, this is a little bit of living material that my mother brought in for me when she came to see me in the palace. ”

"You are the master and the mother, the body is noble, don't be tired, or the slave will help you, right?"

"I don't know what you're thinking? I'm not idle when you help me do it? Give you a piece of brocade and a few beads, and you can hide in that corner and do it, and don't go out and shout. ”

"Yes! Thank you for your grace! ”

Concubine Tong and Mo'er were indeed very careful in their work, and they didn't dare to put the materials on the bright side. However, Jingren Palace is not only Mo'er a palace maid, and the first-class palace maid Yan'er with Mo'er is a big horn, she lives in a house with Mo'er, so she feels that Mo'er is a little sneaky these days, and she has a heart to visit. Mo'er looked through her bed when she was out of courtesy, and found the unfinished sachet under the pillow. The two of them are the little palace maids who enter the palace one day, and their tempers are also harmonious, and they both serve the same master. Mo'er hid it from her, and Yan'er's stomach was about to explode! I just went ahead and made the sachet.

"Wow! You little hoof, how are you flipping my stuff! As soon as Mo'er entered the house, she found that Yan'er was making her own sachet, and she grabbed it when she came up.

"How did we swear in the first place? Share weal and woe, don't deceive each other, it's good for you, there are good things to hide from me! ”

"What are you talking about? This is made for the master, and the materials are all from the master. ”

"Master's material, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

"Okay, okay, you've seen it anyway, don't tell anyone else."

"But how can the master have such a good thing?"

"It was brought in by the Commander's Wife."

"This is not a big deal, the masters in the palace have more powerful mothers to bring silver tickets to the palace, and a few pieces of fabric are nothing. But I've never seen these things, let's just say the brocade of this sachet, we don't seem to have it in the Qing Dynasty, it's thick and good-looking. It doesn't seem to be for clothes. ”

"For spies. Your vision is too poisonous, isn't it? You can see it at a glance. ”

"Who am I, my ancestors were the ones who supplied the Hangzhou satin in the palace, would you know the brocade? Such a thick brocade is used to make clothes, and it doesn't grind the delicate skin and tender flesh of the girls? It's about making use of it. But there doesn't seem to be a brocade for sachets, right? ”

"Okay, okay, don't guess, I have to see if the master wants refreshments."

As soon as Mo'er left, Yan'er's fellow villager, Cai'er, a second-class palace maid from Chengqian Palace, came to her. Chengqian Palace is the dormitory of Concubine E, and the two of them are not only fellow villagers but also best friends, and belong to first-class girlfriends. One is the daughter of the magistrate and the other is the daughter of the Guozi Supervisor, both of whom are Zhengqipin officials.

This Cai'er is not to serve Concubine E, but to work in Concubine E's small kitchen, and has already had breakfast, because Yan'er's brother can't come to visit her because of something at home, so he asked Cai'er's brother to bring her a pair of cotton shoes made by Yan'er's mother. I asked for a short leave with the kitchen housekeeper and sent it to Yan'er. Coincidentally, he saw the sachet in Yan'er's hand, snatched it, and said very unceremoniously: "This is made for me, right?" I'll take it with me? ”

Yan'er was frightened and kept asking: "My ancestor, your old man raised his noble hand, it was Mo'er's thing, not mine!" ”

"Lies! How could Mo'er have such a bright brocade? And this bead, this is a diamond, right? My mother? Your Jingren Palace is even more powerful than our Chengqian Palace, and you actually sewed a diamond on the sachet with a diamond, destroying the heavens. ”

"Shut up, you big mouth, where is Sister Mo'er's, yes, it was brought to her by our master's mother, Mrs. Commander, it's not a diamond, it's just a small decoration......"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm not going to tell anyone. This is the cotton shoes that your mother made for you, I'm afraid that your feet will freeze in winter, your brother can't get out of the house built at home, so I asked my brother to bring it, and I'll go back if there's nothing else. ”

said that she would not tell anyone, and when she went back, she became a big eight woman, and told everyone in the kitchen what she saw and heard. The people in the kitchen told everyone she knew in the palace. If you want to say that the matter is not a confidential matter, but there are people who have a heart, and the news soon reached the ears of Concubine E. It was Concubine E's personal palace maid who told Concubine E: "Concubine Niangniang, when the slave maid heard something, I don't know if I should tell you." ”

"You girl is haunted again, what's so mysterious?"

"Actually, there is nothing mysterious, a very small thing. If you analyze it, it seems that there is something else in it. ”

"Don't sell it, say it and listen to it."

"Yes, Cai'er, who is very good with the slave maid, learned from the fellow over there in Jingren Palace that Concubine Tong's mother, Mrs. Commander, brought Tong Niangniang a little material for needlework, and one of them was made into a half-cut sachet, which is called beautiful! Let's talk about the brocade that makes sachets, the patterns on it are obviously weaved, but they are more delicate than the embroidered Suzhou embroidery! The bottom is decorated with our particularly beautiful colored beads,

There are also very small grains of diamonds. These things are not produced in our Qing Dynasty, which shows how rich Tong Niangniang's maiden family is. Take a diamond-inlaid sachet! Commander Tong is just a second-grade official, so rich that he uses diamonds to inlay sachets? According to Cai'er, she personally saw the sachet that was almost finished, and the gems on it were silvery-white, and when it touched the sunlight, it flashed a long light. Tong Niangniang wore a string of water-red bracelets on her wrists, which was also such a light. ”

"Wait a minute, do you mean Concubine Tong's mother brought it into the palace to make a sachet for her?"

"That's right, Cai'er said, and the sachet is gorgeously decorated. Do you want to dedicate it to the emperor to invite him? In that case, you're ......."

The corners of Concubine E's mouth hooked, and she didn't say anything. Concubine E, who is as smart as her, never says what other people are right and wrong in front of others, which is one of the reasons why the emperor likes her. It's not that she doesn't have gossip potential, it's that she will say slanderous things in reverse. Leave no trace, and don't offend anyone, always so gentle, delicate, kind, and kind.

From the then Baylor Mansion Fujin to the emperor's arms, what kind of trade-off was there? Didn't she know that if she didn't succeed, she would be ruined? If the emperor dies first, what will happen to her? I'm afraid there is only a funeral. Concubine E is really desperate! Moreover, if she hadn't defected to the emperor, Bomu Bogol would not have committed suicide, and the emperor would not have followed her because of her early death, this woman's methods are not understandable to ordinary people.

Regarding the matter of inlaying diamonds on the sachet, Concubine E has long known that where the diamond is, a soldering iron can be burned. She has eaten behind closed doors with the Queen Mother, but this kind of thing has to be pondered from Concubine Tong.
