Chapter 151: Two Heavens of Cold Fire
Legend has it that Cining Palace is haunted, and Manhua, with the help of Brother Jiu, went to Cining Palace late at night to bake and roast.
The fourth elder brother, the eighth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother then appeared in Cining Palace and barbecued meat inside. In addition, Li Dequan, the chief eunuch, also came to join in the fun, and it was a night.
Manhua did this to show the people of the entire Forbidden City, indicating that there were no supernatural events in Cining Palace.
Because Concubine Tong Jia can pretend, she gives the impression of a poor and diligent concubine. Therefore, even if she is sick, Kangxi only lets Manhua handle the affairs of the harem, and no one else takes care of the affairs of the harem
Originally, some concubines in the harem thought that Manhua couldn't do these things, so they quietly watched it as a joke. However, Manhua is very careful and is not afraid of offending people, so he has done Concubine Tong Jia a great favor.
Concubine Yi didn't want Manhua not to help Concubine Tong Jia, after all, Kangxi ordered Manhua to go. However, she asked Manhua to help her come up with ideas on how to dress up more beautifully.
Most of the concubines in Manhua put big flowers on the head of the flag, and the more they look at it, the more cheesy they become. She proposed to let Concubine Yi on the flag head and insert a few more golden steps, maybe it could attract Kangxi's attention.
"Okay, Hongu try it!" Concubine Yi nodded.
The concubines in the palace, in order to compete for favor in front of the emperor, appeared in front of people, all of them put all kinds of beautiful headdresses on the flag heads, and their makeup was also meticulous.
Concubine Yi listened to Manhua's proposal, and at once on the flag head, several golden steps were inserted.
Concubine Tong Jia frowned when she saw Concubine Yi dressed like this, but it was hard to say anything.
Concubine Tong Jia got Manhua to help her take care of the chores in the Forbidden City, knowing that she had a certain ability to manage things, so she clung to her side.
Manhua had no choice but to stay by Concubine Tong Jia's side, after all, the emperor's order here.
Qiu He saw Manhua frowning, looking preoccupied, and asked, "Manhua Gege, do you have something on your mind?" ”
Manhua knew that Qiu He had been waiting for her since she was a child, and she could trust her completely, so she asked her: "Qiu He, what do you think of Concubine Tong Jia to me?" ”
Qiu He said: "Manhua Gege, Concubine Tong Jia has always been very good to you, as soon as you enter the Forbidden City, you will be treated like a relative!" ”
"Ah, anyway, I don't have any holidays with Concubine Tong Jia, and I didn't get involved in the battle between the harem concubines, so I don't think much about it!" Manhua then thought about forgetting these troubles for a while and living each day first.
Steward Ding wrote to Manhua, saying that the store had a new batch of rouge gouache, gold and silver jewelry and palace flowers, and whether he wanted to send some into the palace to give away?
After Manhua received the letter, she asked Steward Ding to send rouge gouache, gold and silver jewelry and palace flowers into the palace, and when she wanted to give them away, she would send them.
Concubine Tong Jia was better, and asked about another matter. When you are not in good health, you will leave it to Manhua to take care of it
The fourth elder brother entered the Chengqian Palace where Concubine Tong Jia lived, and saw Manhua sitting in the main hall, counting something.
When Manhua saw the fourth elder brother coming in, she stood up and saluted him, "Fourth Master is auspicious!" ”
"Manhua Gege, the weather is very good today, but you are stuffy in the house, what are you doing?" The fourth elder brother pretended to ask her lightly.
"Fourth master, the slave is sorting out the items that the palace newspaper has come up to ask the Internal Affairs Office to procure, and then summarize them and hand them over to the Internal Affairs Office!"
"Really?" The fourth elder brother nodded.
The fourth elder brother glanced at the summary table made by Manhua, and saw that although the writing was not very good, it was neat, and the various items and the number of items to be purchased were well written.
Because the fourth elder brother likes to practice calligraphy, his subordinates also helped him report a batch of pen, ink, paper, inkstone and some books.
Concubine Tong Jia knew that the fourth elder brother was coming, so she asked him to come and talk, and asked Manhua not to do accounts for the time being, and to come over to drink tea together.
"Okay!" Manhua had no choice but to go over and sit down with Concubine Tong Jia and the fourth elder brother.
Concubine Tong Jia smiled at the fourth elder brother and said, "Fourth, this palace didn't expect that Manhua Gege was so capable!" ”
The fourth elder brother looked at Manhua and nodded.
The three of them were drinking tea and eating snacks, and the eighth elder brother entered the Chengqian Palace and reported some matters purchased by the Internal Affairs Office to Concubine Tong Jia.
Concubine Tong Jia planned to avoid it and let the fourth elder brother and Manhua be alone, but she didn't expect the eighth elder brother to come. She was a little disappointed, but the eighth elder brother is also a prince, and he is the prince who is loved by Kangxi, she wants to make a show on the surface, so she also asked the eighth elder brother to sit down and drink tea and eat snacks.
Manhua is often between the fourth elder brother with a paralyzed face and the handsome eighth elder brother, I really don't know what to do. She thought that her elders must have owed these two people something, so she would have crossed over here and suffered from the two heavens of cold and fire!
