Chapter 243: Draft Worries
Nichuhe named it Meatballs.
But after all, it can't be compared to Xiao Chen.
That is, he diverted Hongyan's gaze and often ran after the meatballs.
The day of removal is getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere in the harem is gradually becoming lively, and some thoughts that have been silent for a long time are also rekindled.
At the beginning of the month, the concubines of the six palaces gathered in Jingren Palace.
After a few words of the scene, the queen mentioned an incident in the Nichuhe Palace, "I heard that the cat in the Guifei Palace injured all the female cats in the cattery a while ago, but is there such a thing?" ”
This matter is not a secret in the harem, and many people have heard about it, and they all show curious expressions.
In the past, I only knew that the concubine was not easy to mess with, but I never expected that even the cat in the concubine's palace was not easy to mess with.
Some people are glad they never provoked the cat, otherwise the disfigurement would be light.
Some people are even more timid about having a cat and vow never to have a cat again.
Ni Chuhe smiled calmly, "But there is something to do, it is all because the concubine is too accustomed to Xiao Chen, so she makes it so presumptuous."
The concubine had already taught it a lesson, and when it was hungry, it knew it was wrong. ”
Hungry?
Everyone was speechless for a while, what punishment is starvation?
The concubine also spoiled the cat too much, but fortunately it hurt the cat, what if it hurt someone?
Can it be offset by a hungry meal?
Of course, it can't be killed, it's the concubine's pet, if it really hurts someone, that person has no choice but to accept his fate.
Everyone made up their minds to stay away from the concubine's cat in the future.
Queen Wulanala didn't mean to pursue it, but just advised, "Now it's just hurting the cat, but it's okay, the concubine and the sixth elder brother are daughters, don't let the cat hurt." ”
Ni Chuhe bowed his head, "The queen can rest assured, Xiao Chen has always recognized people, and he will not hurt his acquaintances." ”
The queen nodded, and said no more.
She also believed the concubine's words, after all, the cat had been raised for many years, and no one was hurt.
As for the reason for hurting those female cats...... The queen also knew more or less, but she was quite speechless.
Concubine Song covered her mouth and smiled: "The emperor still feels sorry for the concubine, so he specially sent a poodle over, because he was worried that the cat would hurt the concubine." ”
There are also a few concubines who have dogs, and they pass the time on weekdays, but the concubine's dog was personally given by the emperor, so it's different.
The emperor likes dogs himself, and he also sent his favorite dog to the concubine, which is Ming Huanghuang's preference.
Some people are envious, some are jealous, and some are emotional.
Ning Concubine Wu suddenly spoke, "I heard that the draft will be held next year, and I don't know which ones are blessed." ”
As soon as these words came out, all the concubines were gloomy.
They are all people who came out of the palace, after all, they are not young girls in their twenties, and they should be happy to see that they are about to be disobeyed, but when they think of a few more young and beautiful new faces in the palace at the beginning of next year, they can't be happy.
The newcomers entered the palace, and the emperor favored the newcomers, where can you still see them?
The queen and the concubine don't have to worry, they are going to be left out in the cold again.
Seeing that everyone was silent and worried, the queen reminded in a timely manner, "Okay, even if it is a draft, it is also for the elder brother to choose Fujin, you should relax." ”
The concubines whose sons had already been crowned the king of the county instantly rose with a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
For them, the emperor's favor has no chance with them, after all, they are not young, and it is long past the time to compete for favor.
They hope to find a good fortune for their son from this draft.
In this way, it is necessary to rely on the queen and the concubine to have more palms.
The third elder brother Hongshi from Yun Guiren was raised under the knees of Concubine Song, and he was not qualified to plan for his son, so he could only hope that Concubine Mao really loved the third elder brother Hongshi and chose a better Fujin for the third elder brother.
Although the draft must be presided over by the queen and the concubine, Concubine Mao, as the head of the first palace and the adoptive mother of the third elder brother, still has some right to speak.
However, thinking of the second elder brother under the queen's knee and the fourth elder brother under the concubine's knee, Concubine Mao knew very well that the better show girl was reserved for these two, and the rest was prepared for the third elder brother Hongshi, so she could only press down and be excited.
Qi Concubine Li couldn't help but be gloomy.
Her only son Hongyu also wants to choose Fujin this time, but she, the biological mother, can't be the master, and she has to rely on the queen's charity.
Even if the son marries a wife, the couple is close to the queen, the mother-in-law, where can they still think of her as the biological mother?
Thinking of his son's life over the years, Li was extremely aggrieved.
But the good news is that too.
Although Hongyu grew up beside the queen since he was a child, he is Hongyu's biological mother after all, and when Hongyu marries a wife in the future, he still has to bring Xinfujin to her to ask for peace.
She can take this opportunity to get close to her daughter-in-law, maybe under the persuasion of her daughter-in-law, Hongyu can be a little closer to her.
Thinking of this, Li cheered up again.
Nichuhe was not worried.
Anyway, the good ones are all picked by the second and fourth elder brothers, and she can choose Fujin with a good personality for Hongyun, as for the family background, it will definitely not be bad.
Ni Chuhe suddenly remembered her brother's daughter Yingyue, and calculated that she is now exactly twelve years old, and she will be thirteen years old when she is drafted next year, which just meets the conditions for the draft.
I don't know what my brother and sister-in-law think, she is in charge of Yingyue.
However, Yingyue is still young after all, and she put the sign this time, and she can choose it again next time, but she is not in a hurry to set up a marriage.
She still remembered Yongzheng's original words, obviously using Yingyue as Hongyun's candidate for Fujin.
I hope Yongzheng has forgotten about it at this time, and she can still let Yingyue avoid this time, and then slowly pick a suitable family affair for Yingyue.
The other part of the concubines who had no sons or whose sons were still young were not happy at all.
Even if it is to choose Fujin for Brother Zhu, how can there be two or three newcomers in the harem.
They are still young and have the capital to compete for favor, but they can't watch newcomers get favored.
Why should I take advantage of the half a year after the removal of the service to win the emperor's favor.
It would be even better to be able to conceive a child during this time.
Out of Jingren Palace, everyone returned to the palace.
Nichuhe's concubine's guard of honor was in front, and the other concubines were behind.
Ni Chuhe did not take the concubine's sedan chair, but chose to walk back slowly.
Ning Concubine Wu and Qing Concubine Yu followed on either side of her.
Yu Concubine Geng walked slowly and farther behind.
Ning Concubine Wu snorted lightly, "I heard that Concubine Qi once wanted to return the custody of the second elder brother, and asked Princess Huaike to go to the emperor to talk about it, this Li family is really not in a good head."
The second elder brother is so old and has his own ideas, can he recover the lost mother-son relationship if he wants people back?
What's more, the second elder brother grew up under the queen's knees, and it was whimsical to want to go back. ”
She has no sympathy for Concubine Qi's situation, she Li still has a son and a daughter, but she doesn't even have one.
Who is miserable?
She wished that the second elder brother would never recognize Li's biological mother, and regarded the queen as her own mother for the rest of her life.
Let Li taste the sadness of his son.
