Chapter 209: A Mother Who Stepped on Two Boats
The women around the prince are competing for favor very fiercely, Kangxi is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and the concubines of the harem are even more unusual.
The harem concubines are ingenious every day thinking about how to confuse the emperor.
Kangxi is old after all, and there are so many concubines in the harem, all of them are like foxes, which is difficult to deal with.
On this day, Kangxi had a cold, and the imperial doctor said that he should rest more.
Those concubines in the harem can't be quiet. This honey syrup, that one sends dumplings. Then this one sent Wowotou, and that one sent boiled eggs, making Kangxi's dormitory seem to be holding a food exhibition.
Manhua followed Concubine Tong Jia to learn about Kangxi's condition, after all, both of them managed the affairs of the harem.
Manhua couldn't help but shake her head when she saw that the table was full of all kinds of food. She thought that everyone in the world said that the emperor was good, got so many concubines, and sent so much food when he was sick, and she was sick and sick to her stomach.
Concubine Tong Jia entered the dormitory to see a doctor, and Manhua was just waiting outside.
Manhua stood bored outside Kangxi's dormitory, looking at the dazzling delicacies on the table, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
When the prince came in, no one dared to stop him.
When the prince saw Manhua, he looked at her and didn't speak.
Manhua went over and saluted the prince.
"Manhua Gege, no need to be polite!" When the prince saw Manhua, he was excited, but his tone pretended to be very flat.
Manhua straightened up and looked at the prince, trying to figure out his thoughts from his facial expression.
However, although the prince usually feels like a "Tyrannosaurus rex", it is difficult to figure out his thoughts!
"Manhua Gege, are you here with Concubine Tong Jia?"
"If the slave returns to the prince, the concubine is talking to the emperor inside!"
The prince nodded, but looked at Manhua and didn't say anything.
There was a sound of footsteps at the gate, and the prince and Manhua turned their heads to see that it was the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, and the eighth elder brother who came together.
Manhua saw that the fourth elder brother had a bad smile on his face.
After the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, and the eighth elder brother went to salute the prince, Manhua also went over to salute the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, and the eighth elder brother to say goodbye: "The fourth master is auspicious, the fifth master is auspicious, and the eighth master is auspicious!" ”
Concubine Tong Jia came out of Kangxi's bedroom, and the princes went over to salute her.
"Brothers, the emperor is in good health, he has drunk the decoction and has fallen asleep, you can disperse!"
"Yes, concubine!" The elder brothers then dispersed.
Concubine Tong Jia gives people the feeling of being gentle and amiable, and she is the eldest sister in the palace. However, behind the scenes, she is not such a person, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is ruthless.
There is no woman in the Tong Jia family who gave birth to a prince for Kangxi now, and now, Concubine Tong Jia is clinging to the fourth elder brother. However, in front of the prince, Concubine Tong Jia did not dare to offend the "Tyrannosaurus Rex" of the Forbidden City, after all, this sister-in-law is Kangxi's most beloved son, in case the prince ascends the throne, the Qing Dynasty will be calculated by him, and the rise and fall of the Tong Jia family depends on his words.
Therefore, Concubine Tong Jia wants to keep her position and the glory of Tong Jia's family, she has to pull the fourth elder brother, but she also dare not offend the prince, and step on two boats with one foot.
Concubine Tong Jia stepped on two boats with one foot, and she was not afraid of capsizing at all. What she is afraid of is that her status and the glory of the Tong Jia family will not be guaranteed.
The crown prince and the fourth elder brother also knew that Concubine Tong Jia was the kind of harem lady who stepped on two boats with one foot, but they pretended not to understand. Tong Jia's family is their imperial grandmother's mother's family, and they have to give face to some extent!
