Chapter 36 The Years in the Palace I

In a daze early in the morning, seeing the figure flickering next to the bed, Feng Li woke up suddenly, saw Kangxi dressing through the bed veil, picked up the bed veil and sat up, Kangxi heard the movement and turned around, "It's still early, don't sleep for a while?" ”

Feng Li nodded, just got up and was still drowsy, and when he was about to get off the ground, he stood up but found that his legs were trembling, Feng Li immediately sat back on the bed, but Kangxi smiled, Feng Li didn't bother to pay attention to him, and only instructed the maid who came in: "I'm very thirsty, get water!" ”

The maid came in with water and immediately poured a cup for Feng Li. After drinking two glasses of water in a row, Feng Li turned his head back to sleep, Kangxi changed into court clothes, and whispered to Feng Li: "If you are really sleepy, come back and sleep after asking the old ancestor for peace, don't you lose the rules?" ”

With such a sentence, Feng Li was successfully sobered up, looked at Kangxi and said: "The emperor is afraid that if I don't ask the empress dowager to say goodbye, I will lose the face of the empress dowager and lose the face of the emperor?" In this way, the emperor can rest assured that I will not fall into the hands of others! ”

If there is no enlightenment, Fengli would have died a long time ago, Xiaozhuang is not only Kangxi's grandmother, but also her maternal great-grandmother, and the empress dowager of the Qing Dynasty.

Feng Li's words are sharp, and he really chokes people to death. Kangxi wanted to teach her a lesson, but when he thought that Fengli didn't say anything wrong, let alone do anything wrong, he said: "It's good if you know it in your heart." Sleep, I'm on the morning court! ”

There were a string of congratulatory voices outside, but Feng Li no longer felt sleepy, his heart was full of exhaustion, and the depression in his heart could not be dissipated.

"Master, master!" I don't know how long I opened my eyes and looked at it, but when there was a call in my ears, Feng Li realized that his eyes were very dry. Turning his head, he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's not too early, it's time for the master to get up!" Feng Li had already ordered to get up early today, to go to Cining Palace to ask Xiaozhuang for peace, Yu Yun had already taken the palace maid to prepare things, Feng Li heard a sound of response, Yu Yun and another thirteen-year-old girl lifted the bed veil, and a group of people waited for Feng Li to freshen up and change clothes. It's just that seeing Feng Li's expression, Yu was a little worried.

"Don't blame the slave for talking too much, in the past, the master was a transparent person, and now, the master has become the imperial concubine, even though the queen mother and the eldest princess have calculated the master, but the master has not yet gained a firm foothold in the palace, and they are all the elders of the master, filial piety is as big as the sky, the master thinks too much, but it is asking for trouble. Whether it is the Empress Dowager, the eldest princess or the emperor, they all understand that the master, the empress dowager and the eldest princess are all face-to-face affairs, but the master is doing a good job, others can't find faults, what the master wants to do, the free master has the final say. "Yu Yun is very clear about Fengli's experience, and he also knows where Fengli's heart is.

Feng Li, is she too emotional? Kangxi always told her not to be rude to Xiaozhuang, and now even Yu Yun is so admonished. That's not a good sign. "My dislike for them is so obvious?"

Yu Yun hurriedly said: "It's not obvious, it's just that the slave and maid grew up with the master, and the master's thoughts, the slave and the maid understand." ”

It's not obvious that it's okay, Feng Li is still relieved, to this Qing Dynasty there is less intrigue, it's just to laugh with the person who calculates her, she is a little intolerable, it seems, people, a good life can't be too much.

"You reminded me right, if I can't even do a good job of face-to-face affection, this cannibalistic **, I can't stay. It's just a forbearance word, what's not to bear! It depends on who can endure whom, and who can survive whom. "It's even more unbearable than this, she has endured it, just accept the knife in her heart again, people live this life, everyone wants to have a good life, but how is it possible?

Inserting the last step shake, Feng Li stood up, his momentum like a rainbow, "Let's go!" ”

Here Feng Li has already packed up his mentality and rushed to Cining Palace, Cining Palace is also very lively at this time, two noble concubines, four concubines and a few concubines, nobles, always there, promised, that is all here.

"The imperial concubine is really the imperial concubine, such a big shelf, can it appear with the empress dowager?" A glamorous nobleman spoke with a veil and glanced defiantly at the door.

"Be careful!" Concubine Yi, who was wearing a luxurious peony cheongsam, scolded her, if it wasn't her own sister, she wouldn't want to care. I don't want to think about where this is, and what is the surname of this imperial concubine. If it is heard by the empress dowager, it is a trivial matter to be grounded in copying scriptures, and I am afraid that the young imperial concubine will listen to it and make an example of the monkey.

was glared at by Concubine Yi, although this Guo Guiren was not angry, he still kept his mouth shut. Actually, it was also them who were restless one by one, and it was too early to come to this Cining Palace to ask for peace today, and they didn't see that Xiaozhuang was still grooming, and they didn't come out.

"The imperial concubine is auspicious!" Everyone stretched their necks, and only then came the voice of the palace maid and eunuch at the door, and Feng Li, who was dressed in a lilac cheongsam, walked in step by step, and everyone could only get up, "The imperial concubine is auspicious!" ”

Not to mention the following nobles, as Kangxi's cousin, it was the most vomiting blood, she should have been promoted to the imperial concubine, but she was not promoted to the throne and saved Xiaozhuang's life, and she only got a number, although it was a little higher than the concubine Wen Xi who did not give the number, there was no Feng Li before leaving, although she was dissatisfied, she also accepted, where did she expect that overnight, Feng Li was airborne as the imperial concubine.

When she learned the news, Concubine Yi was about to vomit blood, and then she thought that the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace was Fengli's maternal great-grandmother, who was the winner of the battle for hegemony, and the eldest princess Duanxian who walked sideways in ** was Fengli's grandmother! The backer is so big, she wants to calculate Fengli, but she is afraid that she will not be able to move, and these two people will end her with a move.

She is not as good as Fengli than her connections, she is better than Qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing, she loses so much in the Lantern Festival, and then compared to her appearance, not to mention that Fengli is still young, even if she is not old, ** is the most famous noble person who wants to stand with Fengli, and Fengli is not worse than her. She doesn't want to be the first bird, but if someone calculates Fengli, she doesn't mind pushing in the back.

His eyes swept over Concubine Wen and Concubine Huirong Yide, and Concubine Yi always calmed down the resentment in her heart.

"You don't have to be polite!" Feng Li walked to the front, to say why she told Kangxi that she wanted to be the imperial concubine, at least in this palace except for Xiaozhuang and the Queen Mother, no one next to her can control her, and she doesn't have to kneel around all day long.

Feng Li sat in the first place on the left, the left is respectful, she is the concubine of the Kangxi Emperor, there is no queen in the palace, she is the largest, this seat has been reserved by several smart people, so she naturally sits, "Everyone, please take a seat!" ”

The others have taken their seats, Feng Li and these people, and they are relatively familiar with Concubine Yi, but this familiarity is all from fighting, and she is not a person who talks much, so she is close to people, and now she is in this position, and she does not need it.

It was from Fengli to come in and sit down, the whole hall was silent, some people were busy looking at Fengli, some people were too frightened by this grim atmosphere to speak, but Fengli did not take the initiative to speak, others did not know what Fengli's temperament was, and they did not dare to bump into her.

"The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager has arrived!" With a shout, everyone at the bottom of the position breathed a sigh of relief, and finally they didn't have to take the minds of those people, and they didn't dare to speak with trepidation.

Xiaozhuang was helped out by Su Malagu and the Queen Mother, Feng Li stood up and greeted everyone together, "The Queen Mother is auspicious, the Queen Mother is auspicious!" ”

The first to glance at Feng Li, seeing that she was a little more peaceful than the last time she came to Cining Palace, Xiaozhuang knew that Feng Li had already adjusted, and smiled slightly, "Get up!" ”

"Empress Dowager Xie, Empress Dowager!" helped Xiaozhuang to sit down, and the Queen Mother sat down on the side of Xiaozhuang. The others also sat down one after another, and Concubine Yi glanced at Feng Li and got up and said: "The Empress Dowager, the emperor will canonize the imperial concubine, the power of this agent, but the concubines and others want to return the imperial concubine?" ”

The highlight is here, this room full of people, including the queen mother above, also wants to know, Feng Li, the imperial concubine, the deputy queen, but he wants to take over the power of the commander. "What I'm saying is that Ah Li is the imperial concubine, and the management of ** is a matter of course!" The Queen Mother spoke, but Xiaozhuang glanced at her meaningfully, and the Queen Mother hurriedly lowered her head.

Xiaozhuang smiled and said, "Ah Li, are you willing to have the right to control the **?" ”

This made everyone gasp, Qi is eyes widened and looked at Feng Li, Feng Li smiled: "Concubine Yi and a few people are very well managed, they are not at fault, why take their power, how did they manage it in the past, and what will happen in the future, I won't interfere." ”

Not surprisingly, several people were relieved, Xiaozhuang glanced at Feng Li with appreciation, things must be reversed, as Ke Erqin's Gege, Feng Li has to be crowned the imperial concubine, that is already out of the limelight, if you want this ** power again, I am afraid that the first person who can't tolerate Feng Li is Kangxi.

"Well, though, if anyone in this palace offends you, you can deal with it yourself!" It's good that Fengli doesn't take power, but since she is the imperial concubine, she naturally can't have any power in her hands, ** is a place where you step on the low and praise the high, it is inevitable that others will look down on Fengli, Xiaozhuang personally gave her this right, even if Kangxi knows, he will not object.

Feng Li shook Pafu and said, "Thank you Empress Dowager." ”

Out of Cining Palace, Concubine Wen came to greet Fengli, "Imperial Concubine!" ”

"Concubine Wen!" Feng Li nodded and motioned for Concubine Wen to speak, and Concubine Wen smiled and said: "The imperial concubine is entitled, and the concubines and others should go to the Shangqing Palace to greet the imperial concubine, I don't know when the imperial concubine gets up every day?" ”

"No need, I like to be quiet, you and the concubines are older than me, and you have served the emperor for many years, I want you to wait for a day to go to the Shangqing Palace to ask for peace, I am ashamed of it, you and convey to you, the Shangqing Palace is exempt from asking for peace, and in the future, you will only come to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager on the fifteenth day of each month to say goodbye! No matter how big the rules are, even if I say it in advance, no one has found your fault! Feng Li's heartfelt words, Concubine Wen looked at her in a daze, and when Feng Li was far away, she couldn't come back to her senses.

"Sister, how does the imperial concubine speak? When do we need to go to the Shangqing Palace to say goodbye? Concubine De climbed from the palace maid step by step to the position of this concubine, and she is better at adjusting her attitude than others, she asked, everyone looked at Concubine Wen, Concubine Wen came back to her senses and said: "The imperial concubine said that she likes to be quiet, and there is no need for us to go to ask for peace, just like before, come to Cining on the fifteenth day of every month to ask for peace." ”

It's not just her now, the people in the palace are stunned, they don't need to ask for peace, which of the people in this ** is not the official level to crush people, how can Feng Li be so easy to speak. Concubine Yi went to Shangqing Palace: "Let's talk to the ancestor about this matter." ”

They may not be willing to go to the Shangqing Palace to ask for peace, but the palace rules are so, they must abide by them, and Xiaozhuang is Fengli's big backer, if Xiaozhuang is disrespectful to Fengli and takes action, then they can't eat and go around.

And listening to Concubine Yi's mention, everyone's eyes lit up, and the two concubines and the four concubines returned to Cining Palace, and Fengli's words were on the table, and Xiaozhuang was also stunned, but said: "Ah Li is so sympathetic to you, you just do it." It's just that Ah Lizong is young, but she is the emperor's own imperial concubine, above you and others, if you let the mourning family know which dares to be disrespectful to her and bully her young, the mourning family will not be able to spare her. ”

The six people didn't dare to say anything, but their hearts were full of bitterness, Feng left the position of the imperial concubine, it was already stable, after all, this ** is the world of filial piety, which one who is not long-eyed dares to provoke Xiaozhuang's dislike.

"Master, what do you want to eat for lunch?" As soon as she returned to the Shangqing Palace, a chubby girl with baby fat came out and asked, the four maids that Fengli brought into the palace, Yu Yun Yu Ran was a child who served her, how many years older, the one who was about the same age as her in front of her was Yu Ying, and the other Yu Qing was the girl who brought her water this morning.

Although Yu Ying and Yu Qing are young, they were taught by Feng Li, to say that her four maids all have their own strengths and temperaments. Yu Yun has learned good medical skills and has a gentle and polite personality; Yu Ran is proficient in arithmetic, but his personality is a little cold and he doesn't like words; Yu Yingyou has good cooking skills, is enthusiastic and cheerful, is very aggressive, a standard foodie, and is responsible for Fengli's food, clothing, housing and transportation on weekdays; The last Yu Qing, but he knows everything, and he is a first-class Miaoer, saying that he is exquisite, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is good at dancing with long sleeves.

"What's there to eat today?" Feng Li sorted out his mood, and became more and more unwilling to treat himself, and discussed the dishes with Yu Ying sideways.

"The imperial dining room sent this year's fresh spring bamboo shoots, as well as crucian carp and pheasants." Yu Ying counted carefully, Feng Li thought about it, "Make a crucian carp soup at noon, you look at it, eat lotus leaf chicken at night, and everyone will share it." ”

"Oh, it's still the master who is considerate of the slaves!" Yu Ying happily coquettishly yelled at Feng Li, Feng Li laughed out loud, hooking Yu Ying's chin, "You can't eat alone, since you have done it, the people in the palace will let them taste the craftsmanship of our Yu Ying girl." ”

"Yes, master!" Yu Ying agreed very happily, Feng Li said: "Go find someone who can do carpentry, let's build a grape trellis in this yard, and install a swing underneath, in fact, the hanging basket is better!" ”

"Hanging baskets? Master, what is a hanging basket? Mo said that Yu Ying had it, and Yu Yun was also confused. Feng Li was very nostalgic and replied: "It's still okay to make a study." You go to find someone, I'll go back to the house and draw a few pictures, you just let people make them according to the pictures, and ask me if you don't understand. ”

Yu Yingfu responded, grabbed the little eunuch on the side and said: "Master, this is the little shunzi sent by Gonggong Li, Gonggong Li said, if there is anything to let Xiaoshunzi run errands, this eunuch who knows how to do carpentry, let him find it for the master quickly!" ”

Xiao Shunzi looked white and fat, with a blessed face, Feng Li lowered his head and smiled: "Since it was sent by Gonggong Li, this is a reward for you." In the future, you will do a good job, and I will be rewarded! ”

"Thank you for the reward of the master of the imperial concubine, and the slave will do a good job!" Xiao Shunzi took Fengli's reward and nodded and replied. Feng Li thought for a while and said, "Gonggong Li sent you to Shangqing Palace, are you Gonggong Li?" ”

"Li Yanda is the master of the slave, the slave has been serving in the Qianqing Palace with the master before, after the will of the imperial concubine's master canonization was issued, the master thought that the imperial concubine's master had just entered the palace, and the new sisters were not familiar with the palace, so they arranged for the slaves to come to the Shangqing Palace on duty." Xiao Shunzi said what Feng Li wanted to know, and the master sent him to the Shangqing Palace to tell him again and again, the master of the imperial concubine is a smart person, and he is a smart person in the emperor's heart, if he wants to win a place in the Shangqing Palace, remember to be smart, and never have other thoughts.

Feng Li glanced at it, "Since you are a senior disciple of Gonggong Li, after that day, you will be responsible for the external affairs of the Shangqing Palace." ”

This is a leap to make him the head of the Qing Palace! Xiao Shunzi was overjoyed, "Thank you, master, the slave will live up to the master's weight!" ”

"Don't be polite, let's do something!" She is not stingy in giving opportunities, whether she can keep them or not, and depends on everyone's ability. Shangqing Palace, inside repair, outside should also be sorted out, because it is located in the cold palace secluded, Shangqing Palace has not been inhabited for many years, Fengli selected this palace, roughly took care of some, but there are many places, not perfect, that is, the future long-term residence, of course, to do according to what you want.

Turned around and went back to the house, and quickly drew a few hanging baskets, put one in the study, it was much more comfortable when reading a book, the method of making zuò, Feng Li also wrote on it, Yu Yun came in with tea and took a look, "Master, this is what you said about hanging baskets?" ”

handed Feng Li a cup of tea, Feng Li took it and took a sip, "Well, if you have something you like, if you have one, let someone make one for you all by the way, put it in the room, sometimes you can lie down and sit when you are resting, even when you are a female celebrity, you can also rely on it more comfortably." ”

Yu Yun listened and picked up the picture drawn by Feng Li, there were many styles, and she was also a little tempted, but after thinking about it, "Master, the rules in the palace are very strict, and slaves and maids need to be cautious." ”

Feng Li looked up at her, Yu Yun smiled firmly, and Feng Li didn't force much, "It's okay!" ”

Xiao Shunzi found a carpenter, and Fengli only made one and put it in the study. But this is to build a grape trellis and make a swing, and for a while, people in the Shangqing Palace are busy coming and going, compared with the quiet of those days before, it can be regarded as a little more lively.

"Master, master, the grape trellis is ready, and this grape, look, this is the branch that Xiao Shunzi wants to come back." Yu Ying ran over with grape branches to offer treasure, Xiao Shunzi followed, Feng Li looked at it, and chose some branches to be considered strong, "Where did you find the grape branches?" ”

"It was planted in front of the imperial dining room, and in previous years, the grapes were ripe, and the minions had tasted them, and the grapes were sweet. The master asked people to build a grape trellis, and they had to ask for grape branches, so the slave took it upon himself to take a few branches and brought them back. If the master doesn't like it, what kind of grapes do you want, the slave will find it for you. Xiao Shunzi can't tell if Feng Li likes it or not, but when he is a slave, he should think about what the master thinks, and he is anxious about what the master is anxious about, so he took this branch back, also in case of emergency.

Feng Li looked at it, "Since it's a sweet grape, let's plant it." Build a shelf, just thinking that in the summer, everyone can cool down below, and if you can have sweet grapes to eat, it will kill two birds with one stone! Take it for people to plant, but you have to raise it well! ”

"Chirp, don't worry, master, the slave will definitely raise these grapes well!" Xiao Shunzi answered the call and went down to do something.

"Master, the grape trellis is set up, it's spring, the small pond behind it has been empty for a long time, the slave maid let people plant some lotus flowers, lotus roots can be cooked, lotus seeds can also be boiled soup, lotus flowers can be made into snacks and flowers, count them in one fell swoop, okay?" Three sentences are not separated from eating, it is really the nature of foodies, Yu Ying looked forward to Feng Li, Feng Li covered his mouth and smiled: "Cheng, Cheng, Cheng, I will leave the pond to you, whatever you want, you want to plant lotus flowers, it is good to raise fish in it, as long as you get it right." ”

Yu Ying smiled and said, "Well, master, I'll arrange it." ”

Feng Li waved his hand, Yu Ying immediately retreated, Feng Li looked around the courtyard, the Shangqing Palace is very large, this is not a fifth of the entire palace, the place is big, there are many people, so you have to pay attention. "What about Yu Qing? Let her come over for a moment! ”

Yu Ran was waiting at this time, and when he heard Feng Li's words, he went and called Yu Qing over.

"Master!" The person who didn't say anything laughed first, Yu Qingfu saw the salute, and Feng Li said: "I've been busy in recent days, and I don't bother to ask about the situation in the Shangqing Palace, you tell me how many people there are in the Shangqing Palace now!" ”

Yu Qingying said, "We have a total of eight rough palace maids and eunuchs in the Shangqing Palace, six third-class palace maids, four second-class palace maids, and another rumor that the eunuchs are counting Xiaoshunzi is two, plus four slaves and maids, a total of twenty-four people." All qiē are in accordance with the rules of the palace, and there is no etiquette. Yu Ying was in charge of the small kitchen, and the servants gave her two second-class palace maids and two rough eunuchs, and the others, because they were busy with the master's canonization ceremony, were not arranged for the time being. ”

"Have you checked everyone?"

"After checking, the people were personally selected and sent by Gonggong Li, and Gonggong Li also gave their excuses to the slave maid, and the slave and maid verified it, and it was all true. These people, available for the time being! ”

"The people in the Shangqing Palace are all in your hands, as long as I go to the Shangqing Palace, it is like an iron bucket, the needle cannot be inserted, and the water cannot be splashed." She is now the target of public criticism, even if she retreats again and again, smart people will not think of making trouble for her, but those who think they are smart will never stop. She doesn't have so much mind to be on guard all the time, but to solve things at the root, for example, the Shangqing Palace must be absolutely safe.

Yu Qingfu responded: "Master rest assured, the slave and maid will definitely clean up the Shangqing Palace, and there is no room for anyone, and there is no one who has different intentions that are not good for the master." ”

Feng Li nodded.
