Chapter 96: Kangxi returns to the palace
But during the month she lived in Jingren Palace, Tong Jiahui felt that she had been greatly impacted, and her sister Tong Jiayan's lifestyle was unheard of and unseen.
Tong Jiayan is free and upward, and Tong Jiayan's life is as colorful as her people. In her mind, her sister is always enjoying life, yes, enjoying the word.
She was born to enjoy the wealth that others could not get after a lifetime of struggle, and after entering the palace, she lived better than when she was in the house, but she was tired of this kind of life, and she felt depressed.
She felt nothing but bitterness.
And her sister Tong Jiayan lives the same life, but in Tong Jiayan, she can't see the grievances of ordinary concubines, Tong Jiayan leads the fourth elder brother and the four blessings every day, and the days are very lively, she will be happy to see the flowers that are blooming, she will be happy to eat delicious things, and she will be happy to wear beautiful clothes.
This kind of simple happiness can't be understood by Tong Jiahui.
She has been accustomed to the days of fine clothes and food since she was a child, what is there to be happy about when she sees these ordinary things and wears them?
She didn't understand, she also tried to live such a life, but she couldn't do it, what does the beauty of the flowers have to do with her? You can eat delicious things every day, what is there to be happy about? Good-looking clothes, Kangxi is not in the palace, after. Palace. It's full of women, who is she wearing it for?
She doesn't have Tong Jiayan's good attitude, she envy her.
Under this mentality, she is even more envious of those who live happily every day.
The days since rebirth are no different from those in the previous life. She felt like she was watching everyone walk towards his end, including her own, and she was waiting to die.
Tong Jiahui didn't know why Tong Jiashi said this to her, she just regarded it as small talk.
And the reason why Tong Jiashi said such a thing to Tong Jiahui today is to let Tong Jiahui understand that the position of Yinzhen and Wanru, a young couple, in her sister's heart, will be after she goes in the future. Tong Jiahui can look at her sister and treat this young couple well.
The days that followed remained unchanged, and at the end of July, Kangxi returned.
Tong Jiahui and Tong Jiashi went out of the palace to greet Kangxi, Kangxi first went back to Qianqing Palace, and then went to Ciren Palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace, and in the evening, Kangxi went to Jingren Palace. Before Kangxi, he asked people to come over to pass the word, so Tong Jiashi carefully prepared dinner and prepared a few people for a small family banquet.
It was already dark when Kangxi came over. Tong Jiashi, Tong Jiahui, Yinzhen and Wanru stood at the gate of Jingren Palace to greet Kangxi, and saluted the monks. Tong Jiashi pulled Tong Jiahui and said affectionately to Kangxi, "Your Majesty, during your absence, the concubines feel a little lonely. let Hui'er enter the palace to accompany the concubine. You haven't seen Hui'er for a long time, Hui'er, say hello to the emperor? ”
"Tong Jiahui asks the emperor for peace, and the emperor is blessed with peace." Tong Jiahui saluted again.
"Get up, your own family doesn't have to be polite," Kangxi waved his hand and said.
"Your Majesty." Tong Jiahui got up.
"Let's all go in with me," Kangxi waved his hand. The first to go to the main hall, followed by the rest.
When Kangxi was in Jingren Palace, he was always more casual than elsewhere. I usually meet Yinzhen and Wanru, and I also let Yinzhen and Wanru eat together, and the four of them are around a small round table, which feels very homely. According to what Tong Jiashi said, it is a gentle and beautiful wife, a strong and wise husband, and a pair of well-behaved and sensible children, this description, Kangxi likes it very much.
Today, Tong Jia's family has not had many days, and Kangxi cherishes this warmth even more, so he also asked Tong Jiahui to sit down and eat together.
And Tong Jiahui was surprised again, Tong Jiayan and Kangxi got along naturally and casually, which she couldn't think of, remembering what Tong Jiayan said before, she was just an ordinary one in Kangxi's harem, and there was nothing special, Tong Jiahui was silent in her heart, isn't this special? In her previous life, she served Kangxi for decades, and Kangxi never treated her like this.
After sitting down, Tong Jiashi first asked Kangxi if there was anything special about this trip, Kangxi picked a few interesting things along the way and said them, and the remaining four people naturally laughed heartily.
After that, Tong Jiashi also reported her time in the palace to Kangxi, which was obviously a very common thing, and it became vivid and interesting in Tong Jia's mouth, which made Kangxi happy.
During the period, when Tong Jiashi said these interesting things, he would also pull Yinzhen and Wanru, this time there was another Tong Jiahui, Yinzhen and Wanru were used to it, and Tong Jiahui was uncomfortable, when Tong Jiashi talked about her, her whole face was red and about to drip blood, and she only used words such as um and yes to answer, and her voice was like a mosquito and a fly.
Due to the habits of her previous life, as long as she faced Kangxi, she unconsciously sat upright and was cautious in her words and deeds. When Kangxi came to stay in her palace, he never ate when he ate, and he didn't say anything when he slept.
Facing the laughter and laughter in front of her, Tong Jiahui felt sour.
Then, Kangxi asked Yinzhen about his homework again, to see if Yinzhen had studied well during his absence, although Yinzhen didn't have to go to the study every day, but in the days of Jingren Palace, Tong Jiashi supervised him to read and practice words every day, and even sometimes Wanru had to follow the reading and learning if she had nothing to do.
So at this time, Yinzhen can answer Kangxi's questions fluently, and Kangxi is very satisfied. For this fourth child who is his favorite except for the crown prince, Kangxi still has high expectations.
In short, the dinner ended in a harmonious and warm atmosphere, and after dinner, Yinzhen and Wanru returned to the South Sansu, Tong Jiahui returned to the side hall of Jingren Palace, and Kangxi stayed in Jingren Palace.
Lying on the bed while sleeping, Tong Jiashi asked Kangxi his impression of Tong Jiahui: "Cousin, what do you think of Hui'er?" If she wants to pimp Kangxi and Tong Jiahui, she has to ask Kangxi about her impression of Tong Jiahui first. She hopes that Tong Jiahui can be sincerely loved by Kangxi, even if Kangxi regards Tong Jiahui as her stand-in. Kangxi's mind is too important and precious for the women in the harem.
Moreover, looking at Tong Jiahui's performance tonight, she didn't dare to raise her head when facing Kangxi, and her face was red, Tong Jiashi secretly guessed: That girl is not pregnant with spring, not to mention that Tong Jiahui is twenty years old this year, and she has no chance to see a foreign man on weekdays, and Mrs. Tong also told her that she may have to enter the palace in the future, so she was uncomfortable facing Kangxi at close range at this time.
Alas, Tong Jiashi secretly sighed in his heart, and was emotional about Kangxi, it was really self-defeating. When she has time, she will enlighten Tong Jiahui again.
"It's the same as when I was a child, my temperament is a little dull, not as cheerful as you," Kangxi gave an accurate evaluation, Tong Jiahui is his cousin after all, and he didn't see her a few times when he was a child, and he can get news about her from time to time.
However, there is another sentence that Kangxi did not say: his behavior is twisted, and compared with Tong Jia's, he lacks the bearing of a group of ladies and cannot get on the big stage. Tong Jiahui's performance tonight, Kangxi is also looking at it.
"Hui'er doesn't like to talk since she was a child, you know this, and Hui'er has been kept in the house, rarely goes out, hasn't seen anyone, your cousin, is too far away for her, too high-minded, it's normal for her to be shy and uncomfortable tonight."
"And in the past month or so, under the influence of my leadership, Hui'er has become much better than before. And you must not imagine that when Hui'er was in front of the Queen Mother, her little mouth was much more clever than my sister, and she teased the Queen Mother every day, and the Queen Mother took her hand and said that she was reluctant to go, and wanted her to move to Ciren Palace to live. ”
"Hmm" Kangxi responded, when he went to Ciren Palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace today, the Queen Mother told him, and he knew about it, "I went to Ciren Palace today, and the Emperor told my cousin"
"You weren't close to Cousin Hui'er before, why did you suddenly remember to take her into the palace?" The age difference between Tong Jiashi and Tong Jiahui is too big, and Tong Jiahui doesn't speak all day long, and she is also indifferent to other people in Tong Mansion, Tong Jiashi is a lively and talkative person, and he has not been close to this sister since he was a child.
"It's nothing, it's just boring, I want to see Eniang and Hui'er. I haven't been close to Hui'er for so many years, it's not me who is a sister, and after this time of getting along, I feel that I have missed a lot before. Speaking of this, Tong Jiashi held Kangxi's hand and begged: "Cousin, let Hui'er stay in the palace for a few more days, okay?" Our sisters have been together for so many years, but we haven't been close for more than a month, and I am reluctant to return home now. Tong Jiashi didn't tell Kangxi the truth, anyway, with Kangxi's mind, he could also figure out the purpose of what she was doing, and there were some things, since he knew it, then don't say it again.
"Whatever you want, as long as you're happy." Kangxi casually agreed.
"Thank you, cousin, you are so good" Tong Jiashi's voice was full of joy, seeing that Kangxi's eyes were closed, and his face was full of tiredness, Tong Jiashi said distressedly, "Cousin, you have been riding in the carriage these days, are you very tired?" His face looks very tired, you have to go to court early tomorrow, I have something to say tomorrow, let's sleep. ”
"Okay, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow. Let's have a long time" Kangxi was indeed very sleepy at this time, so he responded to Tong Jia's words.
Kangxi wanted to say something, but opened his mouth and didn't say anything in the end. He understood Tong Jia's purpose of letting Tong Jiahui stay in the palace, and he wanted to say that it was not necessary, but the secret guards sent out still had no news at all, and any language seemed weak at this time.
He couldn't promise anything.
By the end of August, the people sent out by Kangxi still didn't come back with good news, Kangxi couldn't sit still, every time he saw Tong Jia's smiling face, Kangxi would feel like sitting on pins and needles, and Kangxi, who couldn't sit still, remembered his previous thoughts: Southern Tour.
