In the evening, a hooded figure cautiously flashed into the side door of Yonghe Palace.

The little eunuch who was guarding the door was informed early, but as if he hadn't seen it, he lowered his head and waved his hand to let the people in.

Huanchun waited a few steps inside, and when he saw someone coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said in a low voice: "The noble man is finally here." Niangniang just asked why she hadn't arrived yet. ”

Concubine Hui asked me about the dinner, and then kept the tea and sat for a long time. I can't refuse, so I came late. The visitor took off his hood and explained, and under the lamp were the faces of the nobles who had only come in the morning. Concubine De asked me to come over at this time, didn't I have something to order? On the one hand, he hoped that Concubine De would agree, but on the other hand, he was afraid that Concubine De would propose some difficult exchange conditions to embarrass him.

Huanchun personally sent people to the door of Concubine De's dormitory, and the people who were waiting around were broken up early in the morning, and they heard Huanchun whisper to the nobleman: "The little master has already replied to the matter, and I am so anxious to invite you to come just to talk about it." After speaking, he didn't wait for the nobleman to ask again, so he pushed the person in, closed the door outside, and stood still at the door.

In the dormitory, Wu Yashi had already changed into Yanju's clothes, his hair was loosely tied with jasper scratching, and he was sitting on the edge of the kang with a pair of soft-soled shoes flipping through a book.

Hearing the movement, Concubine De raised her head in response and saw the noble person who was still a little dazed and uneasy.

Concubine De didn't get up, but just smiled and patted the place beside her, and motioned for the nobleman to sit down. "There is tea on the kang table, and if you want to use it, you can pour it yourself. Irrelevant people have been dismissed, and the palace is waiting for the nobles to speak tonight. ”

The nobleman took a pinch, but first saluted Concubine De, took off the cloak and stacked it aside, and then sat diagonally on the other side of the kang table against the edge of the kang.

Tong Guiren watched Concubine De's every move vigilantly, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly be unfavorable to him later.

Concubine De said that she was waiting for the nobleman to speak, but she was still staring at the book in her hand as if no one was around.

The two sat silently for a long time, until the nobleman who sat felt a little unable to sit still, and Concubine De threw away the book in time.

"The matter mentioned by the noble man in the morning, this palace has already thought about it carefully, and the noble person's invitation is reasonable and reasonable, and there is nothing wrong with it." Concubine De saw that the teacups on the kang table were empty, so she poured herself a cup of tea first, and then pushed the teapot to the nobleman, and said as if unintentionally: "This is the leftover water for the emperor to make tea at noon, and the palace can't bear to waste it, so let them burn it at night and drink it." What is the difference between what we drink on weekdays? ”

After listening to Concubine De's words, although his heart moved, he still pretended to be calm and poured himself a glass according to his words, and praised after only taking a sip: "It is really the emperor's royal use, and even the water is much sweeter than the concubines drink on weekdays." ”

Concubine De Niangniang had a vague smile on her face, and turned the cup in her hand, "Actually, this is the water that the palace drinks on weekdays, and the nobles will feel good, probably because of listening to the words of the palace, right?" ”

Tong Guiren couldn't help but be stunned for a while when she heard this, she didn't quite understand what Concubine De's purpose was, so she just opened her mouth and didn't say anything.

"Just as Yinxiang is the best destination for his niece, I'm afraid that the nobleman himself is not very sure, right? It's just that after hearing what kind of man the thirteenth elder brother is, I think he is an excellent candidate for wishful thinking? Or is he thinking about an elder brother who has no concubine, for Ling's niece, maybe it will be a ladder to the sky in one step? After all, compared to other elder brothers, this still has a chance to fight. After Concubine De's words were finished, she looked at the noble man and no longer looked away.

Tong Guiren wondered in his heart, if he wanted to say that Concubine De let him come, it shouldn't be just to listen to these salty words, after all, in terms of the difference between the identities of the two people, agreeing or refusing is just a matter of Concubine De's words. So is there any other reason why she is going around in circles with herself like this?

After thinking about it, the nobleman said tremblingly: "The concubine really doesn't understand what you mean. The concubine had said what she had said in the morning, just to find a good home for her niece. The concubine begged Niangniang, one is because there is always some affection between Niangniang and the thirteenth elder brother, and she should be helpful, and the other is because Niangniang is kind-hearted and should not refuse a harmless word to you. ”

Tong Guiren is simple-minded, and she is already open and honest, even if she covets the position of the Thirteen Fujin for her niece, it is because Yinxiang does not have a main room, this opportunity is available to everyone, but it is just a little unequal.

Concubine De nodded undeniably after hearing this, then shook her head again, and sighed faintly.

Such a move is simply silent and sound, which makes the Tong nobles more and more unable to understand Concubine De's thoughts, and they can't help but become more and more nervous.

And Concubine De just grasped the fact that as soon as people were nervous, some things were easy to say involuntarily, and deliberately rectified the nobleman, before continuing: "I don't know if the nobleman noticed it just now, the palace mentioned it, and the emperor came at noon." ”

The noble man naturally heard this, but she only cared about the little abacus in her heart, and she casually perfunctory, so she didn't take it to heart at all. Now that Concubine De asked again, the nobles reacted in an instant, Concubine De was telling herself that the emperor had already known her careful thoughts.

After thinking about this layer, the noble man couldn't sit still anymore, so he immediately got up and walked to Concubine De and knelt down. "The concubine was confused for a while before she had such a thought, begging for forgiveness."

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Concubine De was not in a hurry to let the noble person get up, but said thoughtfully: "Looking at the nobleman's reaction, you should understand what this palace said just now, and why did you say it?" ”

"Although the concubine is dull, she has already realized it. If the mother has any teachings, she may wish to say them clearly. The concubine must have listened carefully. Tong Guiren lowered his head and said helplessly. She couldn't have imagined that it had only been more than half a day, and the emperor knew about it, and he had an answer. Thinking about his own lintel and his brother's identity, the nobles have already predicted it, but I am afraid that not only will there be no hope for my niece's marriage, but even I am afraid that I will suffer with it.

"It's serious for my sister to say that." Concubine De said lukewarmly, "Sister should get up and speak, after all, there are still things to entrust to my sister in this palace, and if you are so restrained, it will be difficult for this palace to speak." ”

Tong Guiren thought that he was really stealing chickens and rice, his niece was not married, and he fell into the hands of Concubine De, so he had to be driven by her in the future. The nobleman got up and stood, but refused to sit again, only said: "Please Concubine De Niangniang has something to command." ”

Concubine De motioned for the nobleman to come closer to her, and then said in a low voice: "It's not a big deal, it's just a matter of moving your mouth for the nobleman." The nobleman only needs to ......"

"What?" After listening to Concubine De's words, Tong Guiren's frightened face suddenly lost blood, and he blocked his mouth with his hand, so he didn't scream, and he relieved his mind for a long time before he asked tremblingly: "Niangniang, ...... Aren't you forcing your concubines to die? ”

"How can it be that you are forced to die? It's for your niece, not for you. Concubine De said with a cold expression.

The nobleman knelt down for Concubine De without thinking about it, and said while kowtowing: "Ask for grace, ask for grace." It was all the concubines who were fascinated by the ghost for a while, and the lard was blinded to come up with such a thing. As long as the mother raises her noble hand and lets go of my unblessed niece, you can let the concubine do whatever you want. ”

"The nobleman is stingy when he says this, and this palace doesn't let your niece do anything, right? Let you talk as if this palace is going to point her to kill people and set fires. Concubine De deliberately said with disgust.

"Concubine De, you can't ......" The noble man wanted to ask again, but was stopped by Concubine De.

"Besides, that's not a bad thing. If it doesn't work out, your wish can also be fulfilled, in case if the matter is done well, your niece will enter the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion in the future, then won't she be looked down upon? "Concubine De didn't plan to pick up the nobles on the ground at all.

Tong Guiren was so frightened that he couldn't say anything else, he only cared about kowtowing vigorously, and begging Concubine De to let him and his niece go.

Seeing that she really couldn't stop her from doing something crazy, Concubine De had no choice but to say: "Besides, the sixth princess has reached the age of marriage, and the emperor also told the palace at noon today to help the imperial concubine find a suitable candidate for the princess." If the nobles make this contribution, I am afraid that the candidate for the forehead will only be able to choose the princess with you, who is the mother, and it is not known. ”

The voice of Concubine De's words can be heard and understood by anyone, that is, if the nobleman refuses to agree to what he said, will the marriage of the sixth princess......

In the end, it is about his own flesh and blood, as soon as the nobles heard the words "six princesses", they immediately froze, and then tears fell, "Concubine De, you can't ......"

Concubine De stepped on the pedal, leaned down and got close to the face of the nobleman, and said gloomily: "It's all said and done, why can't my sister understand it, this is no longer a matter of whether this palace can or not, all this is what the emperor meant, and this palace is just passing on the word to my sister." ”

After hearing this, Tong Guiren was like five thunderbolts, she never expected that this was actually Kangxi's instructions.

I saw the nobleman sitting on the ground depressed.

Concubine De was very patient, and looked at the nobles on the ground in a daze without saying a word. She knew that it would always take time to accept and figure things out.

Sure enough, after Mo Yue's work of sticking incense.

The nobleman who was still languishing just now actually knelt down again, straightened his somewhat messy hair, and kowtowed respectfully to Concubine De, "Concubines should follow Niangniang's teachings." ”
