Yonghe Palace.

The palace maid who is specially responsible for nail trimming places a small square cotton pier cushion against the kang table, rolls up the sleeves of the concubine, and puts her arms in both hands. On the kang table next to it, there are knives, scissors, files, silver needles, jade boxes containing nail crumbs, and other nail trimming utensils.

The palace maid took the jade box and knelt at the feet of the concubine, and began to twist a small silver needle, carefully picking out the almost invisible impurities between the nails, and preparing for pruning.

These are the maids brought in by the concubine when she entered the palace, and the concubine has always been very proud of these outstanding maids in her palace, such as sewing and repairing, and manicuring have their own expertise in technical work, and their brains are smart and flexible, and they don't need to mention how easy they are. In fact, to be able to train such a girl, the foundation is one thing, and the family rules are another.

In addition to being powerful, Concubine Hui's mother's family also has money, as for how rich she is, when the pearl of power in all directions is her cousin, everyone in the court who has entered the official career by donating officials knows how capable he is. And in the name of Beijing, the business is the most profitable and hottest, and the Qianlong Emperor sent people to confiscate countless treasures of Nalan Mansion, blinding people's eyes, and even domestic slaves are worth the last billionaire.

However, Mingzhu built a small underground vault at home, and ordinary people can't figure out his bottom.

has such a powerful and talented uncle, who is rare to meet in ancient times, and Concubine Hui has a straight neck and a high head wherever she goes.

She leaned on the pillow, without a smile on her face, and even covered with a layer of impenetrable color, which was very different from the impression she had always given people of 'not smiling or talking'.

"I heard that the emperor is planning to find an enlightened master for the fourth elder brother recently." She rolled her eyelids and said: "At the beginning, our Yinzhen was taken to the study by his uncle and grandfather alone, and the enlightenment of the third prince, the emperor only instructed Cao Ying to arrange it with full authority, and he paid so much attention to Yinzhen, who is now only a two-year-old little milk doll, and the emperor personally selected a good teacher for him early in the morning." ”

"Raised by the side of the concubine, the natural identity is different." Hibiscus Road.

"Hmph," she said angrily, "the identity is different, a sparrow, from birth to death, can it become an eagle just because it is kept in the eagle's nest?" His biological mother, Wu Yashi, was born as a slave in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and if the sparrow wants to become a phoenix, he has to pee to see who he is. ”

"Shhh The palace maid hurriedly took a few steps back, prostrate on the ground, and said, "Niangniang forgives her sins!" The left two fingers are already sensitive, and the slave is more careful than last time! ”

Realizing that she was too sensitive, Concubine Hui stretched out her hand again, and the palace maid stepped forward to continue pruning for him.

Concubine Hui continued: "The son is more precious than the mother, his mother is a slave and maid, but the queen mother who oppresses her is the queen mother, and she can't enter the seal even if she is sick, no matter how great her ability is, the salted fish can't turn over." Yinzhen, I don't even deserve to give our big brother shoes! ”

Mu Hibiscus put refreshments, picked the corners of his eyes, and said: "Our eldest brother is young, good at riding and shooting, and is very smart, the emperor is willing to take him wherever he goes, it can be seen that the emperor favors our eldest brother, the mother can rest assured, the selection of the master is estimated to be casually said, maybe after a while, the emperor will forget." ”

Chunxiao glanced at the hibiscus, since the horse farm came, with a three-inch incorruptible tongue, the mother coaxed her to be a close palace maid in a few days, and she also had a share of talking here.

is not inferior to her, and comforted Hui Concubine and said: "The fourth prince has been raised in front of the concubine since birth, it can be seen that the Wuya family is from a low background, and the queen mother also cares, what is the origin of our Nalan family, the emperor will definitely know it in his heart." ”

In the end, Chunxiao's words were more pragmatic, and after listening to it, he calmed down a little, frowned slightly, and said: "That Wu Ya clan, before being stupid, was not a good person, and his weak temperament is not worth mentioning, even if Tong Jia's clan forms an alliance with her, this helper is equivalent to talking better than nothing."

"The Queen Mother still wants to invite her to be sealed, I don't know what to think." sighed again, and said: "This palace is worried about this Tong Jia's family, and now her brother is more and more important, they are all relatives of the first emperor's grandfather, and they are in the limelight for a while, and they are comparable to their cousins." ”

"What is there to worry about my relatives?" Mu Hibiscus said: "Back then, the regent's uncle Dolgon was still the emperor's uncle. ”

"yes." These words are ironed, and the concubine who said it no longer thinks about this stubble.

"I don't know if the prince has been doing well in his studies recently." She said again.

"Practice riding and archery with our eldest brother every day, go to the study to practice, and be diligent." Chunxiao Road.

Concubine Hui's face was not extended, and said: "Since the first queen Hesheri went, our dedicated emperor did not find a foster mother for his bereaved son, but personally brought him to raise him, and some time ago he also pointed out Xiong Ci to serve as a scholar, I heard that he recently took a fancy to Tang Bin, and he wanted to restore the Zhan Mansion that was abolished when the first emperor was the emperor, which shows that the emperor has high hopes for the prince." ”

"Mother." Hibiscus said: "There are advantages to keeping around, but if you think, there are also disadvantages." ”

"Isn't it time to remove this tea tray?" Chunxiao couldn't help but say.

Concubine Hui waved her hand and said, "Let her tell me what the harm is." Xu aroused her curiosity and said: "Keeping it by your side is to enhance your feelings, but what harm can it be?" ”

Mu Hibiscus looked at Chunxiao, threw a victorious look, and then said to Hui Concubine: "Niangniang, there are many disadvantages here." ”

Mu Hibiscus said: "You have served in front of the emperor for twenty years at the earliest, you might as well think about it between you and the emperor now, there is still the beginning of the love at the beginning?" ”

Concubine Hui thought for a while and said, "As the saying goes, young couples are old companions, and the passion of youth has retreated. "She is not good at saying it clearly, and it is no different from holding her right hand with her left hand, and she has long turned into a habit or family affection after all these years of marriage.

"Don't you know what is the similarity between this father-son relationship?" Mu Hibiscus said: "Will be raised by your side, you know all the advantages, and the shortcomings are undoubtedly exposed, and the other princes can still perform their best in front of their emperor Ama," she changed a glass of warm water and handed it over, saying: "Niangniang, prince, there is no such opportunity." ”

"Hah!" Concubine Hui smiled: "Interesting. ”

"A few days ago, Uncle Tang asked someone to send in some jewels and jade jewelry, pick a few." Hui Concubine said.

After cleaning her hands, the little palace maid waited behind with a handkerchief, and Concubine Hui opened her hands to look back and forth, very satisfied, and said to Chunxiao, who was helping to clean up the utensils in the box: "Chunxiao, you also go, pick a few things you like." ”

Chunxiao was overjoyed, put down the box in her arms, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you for the reward!" Naturally, the maids were also happy to follow to receive the reward.

After noon and evening, Jing Yu came to Jianfu Palace Garden for a walk as always, at this time there were few people, the most elegant and quiet, walking around the tree-lined path between the flowers, it was very comfortable and pleasant, and soon came to the rockery.

"The little lord is careful, there have been rockfalls on this rockery, and the little lord who is pregnant has slipped and fallen." Yue Yao hugged her even tighter, and walked away from the mountain.

Next to the rockery is a stone brick floor, with the same hard and angular small stones, and a relatively hard sole, if you accidentally step on it can not react at all, you will be slipped, "The pavilions and pavilions in the palace are not overhauled and cared for every day?" How can there be falling rocks? When Jing Yu heard this, a trace of yin qi somehow floated through his head and asked.

Yue Yao said: "I don't know why, the emperor only punished a few slaves and maids who were not well protected, and it was over......

Before the words were finished, suddenly! I saw a large mastiff jumping out of the crack of the rockery, grinning and rushing towards Jing Yu!

"Protect the little master!" Lily of the valley screamed and stepped forward.
