Chapter 24: Kang's Expulsion
The next day, there was a small news in the palace - Kang Ronghua was kicked out of the Xuanshu Palace.
"Although the Kang family entered the palace last year, she has been divided into a lot of favors since the Lu family served His Majesty, and she is still proud in the end, she has always been careful, how can she accidentally anger Your Majesty?" Mu Biwei asked casually while smiling at Ji Kai's greedy gulp of cherry frozen cheese.
Su Si pursed her lips and smiled: "I don't know, at that time, His Majesty and Kang Ronghua didn't ask anyone to serve." If there was really no news, she couldn't have been so relaxed, so she continued, "But the little chamberlain of the Xuanmur Hall sent a message to Gong Zhong, saying that she would like to come over and ask Niangniang for a rouge prescription later. ”
"Let's make some cherry jellie." Mu Biwei instructed, "The first year of junior high school also loves that." ”
When Ji Kai heard this, he hurriedly swallowed the cherries in his mouth, and looked at Su Si very vigilantly-Su Si covered her mouth and smiled: "Your Highness, please rest assured, the slave maid will ask Sister Bang Yi to put less cherries in that frozen cheese." ”
Yedu left can produce cherries is the hot spring mountain, the hot spring mountain is so big, it is impossible to plant cherry trees from head to toe, this cherry, distributed everywhere, the queen mother, Ji Shen, the favorite concubine add up to a lot of people, and now there are eight imperial heirs in the palace...... The ministers also have it as usual, although Mu Biwei is here to give it first, but it is not easy to open up and eat last season, but almost all children love to eat this fruit, Ji Wei is young and greedy, I heard that Mu Biwei also wants to take cherry cheese to entertain Xiao Gong's family, so I am worried about my share.
Seeing him like this, Mu Biwei was angry and funny, and nodded his forehead and said, "What are you doing so stingy?" ”
"Erchen is not stingy." Ji Kai quibbled, "Erchen just wants to leave some for the eldest brother and the second brother, if everyone comes over and the concubine takes cherries to entertain, it will not be enough to send the eldest brother and the second brother." ”
"Your two brothers have a share, and in the end they are the ones raised by your imperial grandmother, so it's good if you don't go over and blackmail them." Mu Bi narrowed her eyes slightly, "Don't you know when you are a concubine?" You ran over yesterday under the banner of going to find your eldest brother and second brother to play, nothing more than they knew that you love cherries and took the initiative to give them to you, but have you ever thought that your eldest brother and second brother are not taken care of by the mother concubine, and can only rely on your imperial grandmother, but your imperial grandmother is old, it is inevitable that she can't manage it, and their daily use will not be how to deduct it, and it is always a lot of negligence. Man, not necessarily with your two brothers. ”
Ji Kai thought for a while and said: "Erchen did see that there were birds pecked in it, but the second sister said that it was because of sweetness, and also said that the birds pecked the best food, and Erchen wanted to grow up and be orderly...... Isn't it true that the cherries in the eldest brother and the second brother are better than ours? ”
"Your second sister's words are indeed reasonable, but have you ever seen the so-called best cherry that was pecked in your father's case?" Mu Biwei asked rhetorically.
“…… This one...... Never! Ji Kai was puzzled, "Then why did the second sister say that?" ”
Mu Bi touched his head slightly, and said with a slight smile: "Was your second brother very nervous when he came to his mother's concubine?" When you went with your second sister to visit him, was he more nervous? ”
"The second sister said that the second brother has always been under the knees of the imperial grandmother and rarely interacts with us, so I don't know what to do." Ji Kai said truthfully.
"There are traces on your second brother's face, it's not his fault, it is said that he should have been born as the best-looking one among the princes, and he will definitely not be under your fourth brother, but he suffered misfortune when he was young and contracted ...... disease" Mu Bi said softly, "The people around him are uneasy and kind, and deliberately want to say a lot of things to stimulate him, in fact, a Langjun, even if he is not a prince, what if he is ugly?" What's more, he is not ugly, he just left traces, and he may not be able to recover if he washes it with potion in the future...... It's just that he is young and misled by the people around him, and he always feels that he is inferior to others...... What's more, he and your eldest brother were raised in front of your imperial grandmother, and the biological mother went again, and it was inconvenient for others to say anything to him, it was rare for you to be close to him, since you value cherries, he was naturally willing to take them out to entertain you, but you think, you eat his share like this, what about himself? ”
Ji Kai gradually became embarrassed: "Mother concubine ......" He reluctantly glanced at the cherries in the bowl, "Erchen made it back to the second brother?" ”
"I just told you, your second brother is sensitive and cowardly, if you do this, I don't know what he thinks!" Mu Biwei saw that her son still didn't react, and couldn't bear to embarrass him, so she smiled and said, "However, you are greedy for this cherry, your second brother may not be so greedy!" He's bigger than you! But you want to give him some benefits, but you can't take his cherries for nothing! ”
Ji Kai tilted his head and thought for a moment and said, "I see that the ink there is not as good as Ruijin ink in the second brother, shall I give some to the second brother?" ”
"It's up to you to make up your own mind about this kind of trivial matter." Mu Bi smiled slightly and said, "Just remember not to be arrogant, you must know that he is your brother." ”
…………………………………………………………………………………………
When Xiao Gong arrived, Ji Kai had already personally picked out the ink to make up for it with gifts in the palace, and looked at the number of cherries in the bowl of snow-white frozen cheese, Xiao Gong couldn't help but purse his lips and smile: "The third prince loves this the most, so the slave maid has eaten so much, don't be in a hurry when you turn back?" ”
"What kind of slave and maid are you called in front of this palace?" Mu Bi smiled and shook her head, "Chu Yi is now more and more like a lieutenant envoy, but is he so estranged from the palace?" ”
"What's going on?" When Xiao Gong heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and he smiled bitterly for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty is furious, slave maid...... After Kang Ronghua was driven away, I knelt down and persuaded for a long time before His Majesty calmed down...... Here! As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and showed Mu Biwei that there was a red and swollen scar on his arm, and he didn't see any blood.
Mu Biwei was taken aback, Ji Shen was furious - even if she was in a bad mood, she would do it, she didn't know, but Xiao Gong's old love was broken, and secondly, she also sharpened her wit in this palace, Ji Shen has always scolded the waiter and concubine can't take her turn, and now even Xiao Gong's is affected?
"Susi, get the ointment." Mu Biwei commanded.
Su Si agreed, and hurried to go, Su Bo and Su Ge next to her had sympathy in their eyes, no matter what, the relationship between Xiao Gong's and Chenglian Hall has always been good, even if she is free in the middle, she has never torn her face, and besides, the palace maid is probably working hard to be a female official, and now Xiao Gong's former female official is not as safe as a few of their palace maids, and the general slave maid is a little chilling in her heart.
Mu Biwei personally kneaded the ointment for Xiao Gong's and advised: "It hurts a little, you bear with it." ”
Xiao Gong's face was very calm, and he smiled lightly: "There are more mothers...... It's not very painful, Your Majesty is angry with Kang Ronghua, Eunuch Lei went in and persuaded Your Majesty not to be angry, Your Majesty smashed Eunuch Lei with a ruyi next to him, I think Eunuch Lei is old...... Blocked a block for him, which was brought by Ruyi, half of his arm is numb now, and he doesn't feel anything......"
Before she finished speaking, Mu Biwei's face had changed, and she quickly stopped and reprimanded: "Confused! Then why do you still let this palace give you medicine? Without waiting for her to answer, he turned to Su Si and said, "Go and call Rong Huan!" ”
Only then did he continue to reproach her, "My arm is numb, and I can't tell my bones...... You actually let this palace rub this wound for a long time! ”
He said distressedly, "The Ruyi you said is the one in the Xuanshu Palace, the Hundred Bats Lianshou Zhiheyu Ruyi?" ”
Seeing Xiao Gong's nod, Mu Biwei couldn't help but gasp: "That Ruyi Palace can't hold it up if you don't make some effort!" ”
Don't look at it as a metaphor for auspicious and smooth Ruyi, let Mu Biwei see, she taught Wanfang a lesson in the New Year's Palace, if it was that Ruyi, Wanfang would not be able to die again in Yongxiang, and she would have died on the spot after being beaten so many times - that Ruyi Don't look at it is jade, it is enough to kill people with its weight!
And Ji Shen didn't use it to get angry with Xiao Gong's family, but to fight Lei Mo - this eunuch, there are really few people in the palace who can compare to him in terms of sleekness! Not everyone can be left out in the cold for ten years and then get back up, don't say that the inner servant, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty don't dare to play such a package ticket easily!
Mu Biwei couldn't help but secretly think about how angry Ji Shen was? That's how you act!
Xiao Gong said calmly: "It's just an arm, and there's nothing distressing." ”
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about?" Mu Bi frowned slightly, "This palace doesn't like to see you look so dejected...... What the hell is going on? ”
Xiao Gong pursed his lips and said, "It's nothing...... It's just that I've been in the palace for a long time, and I'm a little homesick. ”
"It's not hard for you to go home and visit." Mu Biwei glanced at her deeply, "The coming day is long, don't say that you don't care about yourself when you are young, this palace tells you, in this palace, you take yourself seriously, others may not be like this!" But if you despise yourself, others will only despise you twice! ”
"The mother taught me a very good lesson." Xiao Gong smiled bitterly, but he didn't say anything about his arm and didn't feel distressed, "Actually, I didn't expect to come over to disturb Niangniang, it was Eunuch Lei who said that my arm was numb or it was better to find a doctor, Your Majesty is very unhappy now, and it is not good to call the imperial doctor to the Xuanshu Palace, and secondly, it is also called speculation outside...... That's why I want to borrow the name of my mother. ”
Mu Bi said slightly: "These are just small things. ”
"Does Niangniang know why His Majesty attacked Kang Ronghua?" Xiao Gong turned his head and asked seriously.
Mu Biwei didn't hide it: "Naturally, I don't know...... I thought the chamberlain said you came to ask for rouge recipes for this. ”
"Actually, I don't know." Xiao Gong smiled bitterly and said, "Kang Ronghua...... Well, Your Majesty summoned the concubines in the Xuanshu Palace, and I had to wait outside, but I also heard a few words, but I didn't think that Kang Ronghua had offended Your Majesty. ”
Mu Biwei said: "What did she say?" ”
"Before......" Xiao Gong paused and said, "It's all Kang Ronghua's flattering and coquettish words, and Your Majesty is also quite happy, and later, ...... Originally, I was going to go in to serve, but Kang Ronghua suddenly entangled His Majesty again...... Well, she is asking His Majesty for a few famous peonies in the flower room, I think it was when Imperial Lady Lu served His Majesty before, His Majesty learned that she liked begonias, and specially asked the inner secretary to move two begonia flower trees into the neon garden where Imperial Girl Lu lived, although Kang Ronghua is not a very sharp and strong person, but he is not willing to just call Imperial Girl Lu to take the limelight......"
Speaking of this, she showed a strange look on her face, "Niangniang knows, Your Majesty has always been generous, not to mention a few plants and trees, that is, antiquities from the previous dynasty, gold beads and jade, and Liancheng treasures, Xingtou has always been stingy." ”
Mu Biwei nodded, Ji Shen is now recognized as mediocre by the government and the opposition, but he has always been generous to both the previous dynasty and the harem - but then again, how many faint monarchs have been stingy from ancient times to the present?
"Kang Ronghua wants a white jade version and neon glow." Xiao Gong said, "At that time, I thought that she was also a measured person, although these two peonies are also precious, but no one in the concubine fights...... I think it's just a little resentful to see that Imperial Lady Lu is coming to the top...... Once upon a time...... No, His Majesty has never cared about these trivial matters, but somehow, Kang Ronghua immediately slapped His Majesty when he said this, and was directly beaten off the royal couch...... Then His Majesty told her to get out! ”
After Xiao Gong finished speaking, Su Si and the others were confused.
Mu Biwei was about to speak, when someone from outside came to tell her, but it was Rong Huan who came.
