One day in July of the twelfth year of Shunzhi, the weather was extremely hot, and the occasional wind was hot, so I sat in the house and shook the fan violently, while Cuiling waited aside.

"No, it's hot to death." I leaned limply against the table. Cui Ling hurriedly took the fan and then fanned me for me, and said, "Niangniang, it's better to let Lai Xi'er go to the Internal Affairs Office to ask for some ice." ”

"No," I said, waving my hand, "those people only recognize money, and even if they have ice, they can only hold on for a while." "The people in the palace are very realistic, although I am the queen of the Qing Dynasty and supported by the queen mother, but I am always not treated by the emperor.

"Cuiling, don't fan," I looked at the beads of sweat on Cuiling's forehead and said, "You can sit down too." ”

I don't want Cuiling to hear my words, "Tom" knelt on the ground: "The slave doesn't dare." ”

I sighed and stretched out my hand to pull her up: "We are all raised by our fathers and mothers, don't kneel at every turn, and if you can kneel in me in the future, you won't kneel." "I'm not used to having someone kneel down for me at every turn.

"Niangniang," Cui Ling reddened her eyes: "Niangniang is the princess of Horqin, her status is extremely noble, the slave is just a clothed slave, how can she compare to Niangniang, besides, it is natural for this slave to kneel to the master, Niangniang must not say this in the future, let outsiders hear, lest there be some incidents." ”

I looked at her in a daze, and only after a while did I say, "Is the harem really so terrible?" ”

"Shhhhh ”

"Okay, okay, just don't mention it in the future, don't be nervous." I comforted her, "By the way, do you like your current name?" If you don't like it, how about I change it for you? I digressed.

Cui Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "The name of the slave was originally given by the mother, how can you not like it, if the mother wants to change it, she will change it for Cui Ling." ”

"You call in the gold, silver, and ringtones." I almost let this pile of bells dizzy, Cui Ling saluted and turned around and went out, I closed my eyes and thought of names for them, and I didn't come up with any good names after thinking about it for a long time, blame me for not studying, there is too little ink in my stomach, and now I can't even memorize a complete poem, how can I take a name. When I opened my eyes, Cui Ling and the others had already entered the house and stood in a row, and I asked, "Cui Ling, what is your family name?" ”

"Back to Niangniang's words," Cui Ling replied, "The slave's original surname was Hua. ”

Surname Hua? Hehe, there is, I secretly said sorry to Cao Xueqin, who still doesn't know where she is, and said to Cui Ling: "Cui Ling, you will be called an attack in the future, the flowers attack people and know that they are suddenly warm, and the flowers attack people, okay?" ”

Cui Ling saluted before saying happily, "Yes." After that, the slave and maid were called attackers. ”

"Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud. In the future, the golden bell will be called Canghai, the silver bell will be called Qiushui, and the colored bell will be called Xiangyun. "I quickly decided that when I used to watch the movies of Tianlong Babu, I liked Li Qiushui and Li Canghai played by Lin Qingxia very much. Ay? I suddenly thought that it didn't seem bad to call Qingxia and Manyu.

Xiangyun, Qiushui and Canghai thanked them together, I waved my hand to let them go down, and at this moment, Laixi came in and said, "Niangniang, Concubine Shuhui is here." ”

Concubine Shuhui? I thought about it for a while, and finally remembered who she was. She was the queen's own sister, but she only thought about it, and she didn't remember what her name was. Thinking of this, I smiled bitterly and ordered, "Let my sister come in." ”

Not long after, a girl in a concubine's costume walked in from the door, younger than me, but very delicate, much stronger than me as a sister, in a few years, it should also be a beauty, her immature face with a timid smile, saw me, whispered: "The concubine to the queen mother, please peace." As he spoke, he bowed down.

"Sister," I hurriedly held her, "this is no outsider, no need to be polite." attacked people, and brought a bowl of iced sour plum soup to my sister. ”

The attacker agreed to go down, and Concubine Shuhui asked a little strangely, "Isn't her name Cui Ling?" ”

I smiled, "I changed it." Concubine Shuhui was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said softly: "I think my sister is a little different from before." ”

I was shocked, in front of me was Ronghui's younger sister who grew up, and the familiarity with Ronghui was not comparable to others. I said carefully, "Oh? What's the difference? Why don't I feel it? ”

Concubine Shuhui looked at me for a long time before she said, "I can't say either, my sister is still my sister, but her temperament seems to be much more cheerful." ”

"Really?" I didn't dare look at her.

"Yes," perhaps it was only us sisters in the room, and she was a little bolder: "In the past, my sister would only frown and sigh, how could she smile so cheerfully." Saying this, the look on the little face was very lonely.

"Sister, are you alright?" I hurriedly asked.

"Sister," Concubine Shuhui actually shed tears, I hurriedly helped her wipe her tears, at this time the attacker entered the house with a bowl of iced sour plum soup, seeing this scene, standing there in or out. I beckoned her to come over and put down the sour plum soup, and then let her out, and then grabbed Concubine Shuhui's hand and asked, "Sister, tell my sister, what's wrong?" ”

Concubine Shuhui wiped her tears with a handkerchief before saying, "Originally, my sister had an accident some time ago, and my sister should have come to visit my sister, but ...... But last month, the emperor finally went to my place, but I accidentally broke the emperor's favorite Nine Dragons jade pendant, and the emperor was very angry and punished me with a month of grounding, so I can come to see my sister today. As he spoke, tears flowed again.

I sighed and persuaded her, "It's okay, you see, I'm not okay now?" ”

Concubine Shuhui nodded with tears in her eyes, and said, "Sister, you say ...... Will the emperor not come to me in the future? ”

That one...... A drop of cold sweat fell from the corner of my forehead, and it turned out that my sister was not crying because she couldn't come to see me in time, but because she annoyed the emperor.

How the hell should I convince her?? I watched her cry in front of me, but I didn't know what to say. At this moment, the attacker came into the house and said, "Niangniang, Concubine Tong Niangniang is here with the third elder brother." ”

Concubine Shuhui and I were stunned at the same time, Concubine Shuhui hurriedly wiped away her tears, and I said to the attacker: "Please Concubine Tong and the third elder brother come in." "When I said this, I had only one thought in my heart, third elder brother, Kangxi......

As soon as Concubine Tong entered the house, I felt that my eyes lit up, the woman in front of me was about fifteen or sixteen years old, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it at a glance, she bowed down, and her ears were as pleasant as a pearl falling on the plate: "The concubine saw the queen's mother, and I saw the sister of Concubine Shuhui." ”

is worthy of being the mother of the first emperor of the ages, she is so beautiful, I helped her up, looked at her carefully for a long time, and then said: "Concubine Tong is really getting more and more beautiful." ”

Concubine Tong smiled and said modestly: "The queen mother praised it falsely. He said that, but his eyes shone with pride.

I asked Concubine Tong to sit down, Concubine Tong sat down with a smile, I kept looking at the grandmother standing at the door, she was holding a pink-carved child in her arms, Concubine Tong saw that I had been looking at the child, and said to the grandmother: "Quickly bring the third elder brother over, let the queen mother see." ”

I took over the third elder brother, who was only a little more than a year old from my grandmother, and he really deserved to be a person who would do great things in the future, he didn't cry or make trouble, and looked at me calmly.

That's right, it's calm, I don't know if it's appropriate to use the word calm to describe such a young child, but I do feel this way, and after looking at this little Xuanye for a while, I actually looked away with a weak heart, and I don't know why, I felt that Xuanye's clear eyes contained many other things, I held him in my arms, and sighed in a voice that I could barely hear: "You are Kangxi." ”

The little body in my arms suddenly stiffened, I looked at Xiao Xuanye, Xiao Xuanye's eyes were a little red, this was a precursor to crying, Concubine Tong quickly got up and took Xuan Ye over, handed it to Mama, turned to me and said, "What did my sister say just now?" ”

I smiled at her, but my eyes looked at Xiao Xuanye: "I said, he's so cute." ”

Concubine Tong smiled proudly and said, "In the future, the queen mother will definitely have a more lovely elder brother." She stopped and said, "My sister had an accident last month, and my sister should have come to visit her earlier, but it was just ......"

I looked at Concubine Tong and another drop of cold sweat, wouldn't it? Like Concubine Shuhui's lines, you won't also break something from the emperor to cry to me, right?

Fortunately, Concubine Tong continued: "It's just that the emperor always goes to Xianfu Palace during this time, and I really can't get away." ”

I was dumbfounded, it turned out that Concubine Tong was here to demonstrate, I looked at Concubine Shuhui, Concubine Shuhui's face was a little ugly, and I smiled: "I'm tired of my sister taking care of the emperor." ”

After chatting for a while, Concubine Tong took the third elder brother to retire, and Concubine Shuhui also went back with a calm face, and the moment they walked out of the door, I saw that Xiao Xuanye's eyes had been staring at me, and there was a lot of curiosity in his eyes.

"Niangniang," the attacker took a fan to fan me, "why did you let Concubine Tong do that just now?" ”

I chuckled, "It doesn't matter if you let it or not, she's a poor person." ”

The attacker frowned and said, "Concubine Tong is now three thousand favors in one, how can she be a poor person?" It's Niangniang, I've been in the palace for so long, and the emperor has always been ......" Speaking of this, the attacker stopped abruptly and looked at me with a look of fear.

"What's wrong with the emperor?" I asked.

The attacker knelt down with a "tom": "The slave and the maid should die, the slave and the maid will smash this mouth." I was startled and quickly grabbed her: "What are you doing?" ”

The attacker burst into tears and said, "The slave said the wrong thing, please punish the mother." ”

I looked at her weakly: "You haven't even finished speaking, what's wrong with you?" It's better for you to finish your words, and then I will decide whether to punish you or not after listening to it. ”

The attacker's eyes were full of fear, and he was about to kneel again.

"Don't kneel!" I shouted, startling the attacker, "Finish what you just said, or I'll punish you now." ”

"Slave maid...... The slave did not dare. The assailant lowered his head and whispered.

"Don't say it?" I looked at her indifferently, "If you don't say anything, I'll punish you for half a year." ”

"Don't, Niangniang," the attacker knelt on the ground again, "The slave maid still has a mother and a younger brother at home, and only lives on the slave's salary, begging the maid to be gracious." "Say it and kowtow again and again.

I stroked my forehead with one hand and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, get up, I don't want to be punished, so I'll finish my words." ”

The attacker looked at me, slowly stood up and said cautiously, "Slave maid...... The slave maid said that Niangniang had been in the palace for so long, and the emperor had never been to Kunning Palace once, compared to Concubine Tong, who had a third elder brother, Niangniang ...... It's much more pitiful. Without waiting for me to speak, he knelt down again.

I'm a little surprised in my heart, Rong Hui has been the queen for a year, and the emperor hasn't been here once? It won't even be a round room, right? However, according to Shunzhi's temperament, coupled with his relationship with the Queen Mother, Shunzhi hated Dol Luo, and even hated the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, who had to compromise at the beginning, and it was not impossible to deliberately snub me, the queen mother who forcibly stuffed him, Concubine Jing, wasn't he deliberately provoked to abolish it? Although this is related to Concubine Jing's temper, but more importantly, I am afraid that it is because Concubine Jing is the person designated by Dol Roll. I smiled and said to the attacker, "That's it?" Hurry up, look at what scares you. ”

The attacker raised his head and said with teary eyes: "Niangniang doesn't punish slaves and maids?" ”

I nodded: "You are also upset for me, why should I punish you?" "I burst into tears and laughed, but I was sad in my heart, we were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and in my time, we were only high school students, right? Pampered by my parents, carefree to go to school, now? Watching the attack of the same child, watching Concubine Shuhui, who was younger than me, crying to me about her husband's affection, and watching Concubine Tong, who was still a child, bringing her son to demonstrate to me, the queen, my heart was full of powerlessness.

In the next few months, Shunzhi still did not appear in my Kunning Palace, Concubine Shuhui often came to cry to me, Concubine Tong often held the third elder brother to demonstrate to me, attacking people They were very unfair to me, persuading me that I should not be so kind to Concubine Tong, I just smiled faintly, Concubine Tong's favor can only continue until July next year, after July, Concubine Tong will no longer be in the mood to demonstrate to me, the nominal queen. In the past few months, I have fully adapted to the life of the Empress, but I still carefully control the number of times I go to see the Empress Dowager, Xiaozhuang, this woman who will be famous in later generations, I am not sure that I can deceive her eyes.
