Chapter 45: Concubine Yi suddenly lowered her profile
Concubine Yi's birthday is approaching, because she is the favorite concubine of Emperor Kangxi, and Emperor Kangxi rewarded her with silver to let her have a lively and happy birthday.
After dinner, Concubine Yi asked the fifth elder brother, the ninth elder brother and her goddaughter Manhua to sit around her.
Concubine Yi said to the fifth elder brother, the ninth elder brother and Manhua: "On the birthday of the mother concubine this year, the emperor rewarded the silver. You are all the children of the mother, help the mother come up with an idea, let the mother have a lively birthday, and make the emperor happy. ”
The fifth elder brother then proposed to invite talented artists outside to the palace to play and sing at a banquet to celebrate lively.
Brother Jiu had something to listen to Manhua, and he glanced at Manhua.
Concubine Yi could see that Brother Jiu and Manhua were waiting for Manhua to have an idea, so she asked Manhua: "Manhua, do you think of any good ideas?" ”
Manhua thought about it and felt that Concubine Yi was too high-profile. At this age, how much capital do you have to compete for favor with young concubines? She then spoke: "Concubine Yiniang, Manhua thinks that your birthday is in winter, and now that the goose feathers and snow are falling, the emperor must be worried about the safety of the soldiers stationed at the border." If you can keep your birthday banquet low-key, take out the money, buy winter clothes, and give them to the soldiers in front of you, the emperor will be very happy, and maybe he will like you even more when the time comes......"
Because Concubine Yi has always been favored by Emperor Kangxi, she has been celebrating her birthday every year since she entered the palace, and when she heard Manhua's proposal, she fell into deep thought.
The fifth elder brother then spoke: "Mother, in the past two years, there have been more new mothers in the palace, and you are still the same, putting on a high-spirited appearance." If you can keep a low profile, maybe your father will pamper you even more......"
When the fifth elder brother heard Manhua say this, he also persuaded his mother. He rarely cares about the battles in the palace, and only likes to play and sing these things he likes. However, this is indeed the case, so I also persuaded the concubine to keep a low profile.
Brother Jiu also said: "Mother, there have indeed been more new mothers entering the palace in the past two years, mother, you should keep a low profile this year, don't let your father think that you are a concubine who doesn't know the height of the sky......"
After hearing these words, Concubine Yi hurriedly ran to the mirror, looked at her face carefully, and said in a panic: "Does the concubine look very old?" Is the mother old? ”
Manhua then went over, hugged Concubine Yiniang, and said to her: "Concubine Yiniang, you are not old at all. You are young. It's just that there are indeed too many concubines in the harem now, and you still have to find a way to ask the emperor to cherish you. As long as the emperor is moved by what you have done, he will definitely favor you even more. If you don't think we're right, let's have a birthday party! ”
Concubine Yi Niangniang listened to it this time, after all, she thought that her children were right, and now there are more and more young and beautiful concubines entering the palace, and she is almost not competitive, and some are just the support of the five elder brothers and the ninth elder brother, the two competing princes.
"Mother listens to your ......," Concubine Yi nodded.
After all, Concubine Yi has given birth to several children, and her figure is a little deformed. In front of the young and beautiful concubines, she can almost be regarded as a half-aged with a very big aunt. She wants to be favored for so many years, she must stay in the emperor's sacred heart, and she can't let the emperor be confused by the young concubine and forget herself!
Concubine Yi has been proud for so many years, and she suddenly has to keep a low profile, and she is a little unaccustomed. She wanted to be low-key in words and deeds first. Then, do something that moves the emperor!
Manhua saw that Concubine Yi promised to keep a low profile together, so she wanted to see how she changed!
