Chapter 633: Xiao Quanzi, How Old Am I?
The young lady said kindly: "How old is she, you must learn to be polite to people first." What's more, the girl is the person next to Concubine Tong, how can we not treat each other politely. ”
Pomegranate humbly said, "Slaves and maids dare not be slaves." ”
After Mrs. Tong and Mrs. Sonny talked for a while, Mrs. Tong saw that there was a little doll, so she asked her to take a look, only to hear Mrs. Sonny whisper: "Sister, look at the scar on this child's forehead, is it still down?" ”
Mrs. Tong looked carefully, the scar was very deep and long, from the eyebrows to the hairline, if it was not covered by bangs, it would be very eye-catching.
"The child is still young, and he will definitely be able to go down." Mrs. Tong said, "Don't worry, it's the first time I've seen such a handsome girl." ”
Mrs. Sonny smiled: "What you said, Concubine Tong should be so good-looking when she was a child." ”
Soon the child went to play with the pomegranate, and when Mrs. Sonny saw that her daughter-in-law was not with her, she sighed: "I am afraid that this scar will grow bigger and bigger as she grows, and it will not be good for her family in the future." ”
Mrs. Tong secretly calculated in her heart that more than ten years later, the child reached the age to be elected, and the emperor was only in his thirties, just in his prime.
No matter how favored the imperial concubine is, a woman in her thirties can't compare to a teenage girl like a flower, not to mention who knows if the emperor will change his mind in the future, but it's a pity that the Hesheri family is easy to get a girl, but they won't have a chance to draft in the future.
Presumably, Mrs. Sonny herself understands that her granddaughter will not be able to enter the palace, so she naturally wants to choose a good family for her to marry in the official family.
"Are you beset to marry me?" Mrs. Tong said, "I don't know if the two little monkeys in my family are blessed." ”
Mrs. Sonny smiled: "I just saw that all the tiger heads and tiger brains are the grandsons of General Tong." Good sister, let's talk about it here first, and we'll talk about it in detail in the future. ”
Without a husband, people will decide the future, and the pursuit of interests between officialdom and families is so ruthless.
Although Mrs. Tong sighed, she was not disgusted, after all, people looked up to their own family, so they were in a hurry to catch up with the forefront.
And she has been waiting in front of her husband's sickbed for a long time, and she has prepared for the death of Tong Tulai thousands of times, she still has sons and grandchildren, as well as the daughter and third elder brother in the palace, she will not fall.
Pomegranate returned to the palace before dark, Yuan Xi was taking Xuan Ye to write, and he was busy leaving the island to return to the palace today, and he hadn't done his homework yet.
And after a few months on the island, under the careful teaching of his grandmother, Xuan Ye has been able to write decent words, and he will no longer be frizzy and unable to sit still. Although the words are still not good-looking, this age is not easy.
"Early tomorrow morning, Xiaoquanzi will take you to the study." Yuan Xi said, "You have to salute Taifu well, and you have to be respectful and courteous to Brother Fuquan, you are a younger brother, you have to listen to your brother, you know?" ”
Xuan Ye listened obediently, put down the pen, crawled in his mother's arms, held Yuan Xi's chin and said, "Eniang, I'll go to the study, you can't cry at home, grandpa said, he will guard us in the sky." ”
"E-Niang doesn't cry, Xuanye is back, E-Niang is not afraid." Yuan Xi didn't dare to kiss his son, thinking that he was still sick, asked Xuan Ye to sit upright, "Finish your homework first, and the Qianqing Palace will be idle in a while, let Xiaoquanzi lead you to kowtow to Huang Ama, and then go to Kunning Palace to salute Huang Eniang." ”
Yuan Xi said that, when he saw Pomegranate coming back, he got up, leaned on Pomegranate's arm, and returned to the bed to sit.
Hearing that everything was stable at home, Yuan Xi was relieved, and when he heard that Ama was dying, he shouted his name, Yuan Xi couldn't help crying again.
Pomegranate said with tears: "Miss, you must cheer up, you just think about it, the master is so uncomfortable without you, if you have a good one, what can the third elder brother do?" ”
Yuan Xi gradually suppressed his tears and choked up: "I'll be fine, don't worry." Xuan Ye is back, many things have to start again, it is not as comfortable as outside, we all have to cheer up and guard him. Dong Gege casually killed the fourth elder brother, God knows if there will be another person more ruthless than her in the future. ”
Before dinner after dark, news came from Qianqing Palace that the emperor finally had free time, and when Xuan Ye followed Xiaoquanzi, Fulin was about to go to Cining Palace to ask for peace.
The father and son met under the eaves, and there was still standing water on the ground outside from the daytime rainstorm, and when they saw that their son was about to kneel and kowtow, Fu Lin stopped him.
He squatted down and looked at Xuan Ye carefully, this child's eyes and eyebrows were like his mother's, but his originally beautiful face was pockmarked, but fortunately, he didn't ruin his appearance much, and when he grew up, he could still be a handsome boy.
"You've grown taller." Fu Lin said, "Xuan Ye, how old are you?" ”
Xuan Ye was stunned, looked at his father curiously, stretched out his hand to draw, he was already five years old.
"It's a big kid." Fulin touched his son's head and said, "When you go to the study, you must obey the rules and study hard, Ama will come to test you when she is free, and if you can't pass the test, you will be punished." ”
Xuan Ye said: "Ama said last time that he was going to test me, and I have been waiting until now. ”
Fu Lin was stunned: "When did I say that?" ”
What he said in Nanyuan, he had long forgotten everything.
Xuan Ye hmmed for a long time, and he couldn't tell what day it was, so he said that he was on the island.
Fu Lin only took it as a joke and disagreed: "Okay, go and kowtow to your imperial mother, Ama is going to see the imperial grandmother." After you return to Jingren Palace, don't be naughty, your mother is sick. ”
Xuan Ye sent Huang Ama in a proper manner, and after Fu Lin walked away, Xiao Quanzi stepped forward and led the third elder brother to Kunning Palace again.
"Izumiko, how old am I?" Xuan Ye asked suddenly.
"The third elder brother is four years old, and he is five years old." Xiao Quanzi replied without thinking, "Third Elder Brother, how do you take the slave test?" ”
"Ama, he doesn't even remember how old I am." Xuan Ye looked at Xiao Quanzi and said, "Isn't it very busy to be the emperor?" ”
Xiaoquanzi said: "Yes, you see, the emperor has been dealing with the government since dawn, until it is dark at this time, and he will not take a breath. The world is so big, and the common people are counting on the emperor to eat. ”
Xuan Ye sighed and said to himself, "Then I'm not angry." ”
In this compartment, Fu Lin arrived at Cining Palace, and the imperial dining room was passing the meal, and what surprised him was that Jia Yin was actually by Eniang's side.
Fu Lin looked at Wu Liangfu, and Wu Liangfu said softly: "Niang Niang, don't disturb you to deal with government affairs." ”
"E-niang." Fu Lin stepped forward, "I just came to ask for peace at this time, don't be surprised, there have been many disasters in various places since midsummer, and Zheng Chenggong is guarding against Zheng Chenggong in the south, and the envoys from Mongolia and Tibet can not be missed, and today I also discussed with the ministers, how to sanction them for the sake of the New Year's tribute." ”
Yu'er smiled leisurely: "Sit down, I came back suddenly, I didn't say hello to you, it's not mine." But it doesn't matter if you don't come, the imperial concubine is here, you can't be wrong. ”
Fu Lin would not be unhappy with this, he glanced at Jiayin with a smile, and sat down happily.
Su Mala saw that the mother and son rarely sat down and had a good meal, and she was very comforted, the good that the imperial concubine brought to the emperor, she and Gege both saw it, I hope that all the turmoil will pass, and everything will get better and better.
Cining Palace was peaceful and harmonious, Xiao Quanzi took the third elder brother to Kunning Palace to ask for peace, and the queen naturally left the child for dinner, saying that Yuan Xi was sick and let her rest well.
And at this moment, news had already spread in the palace, and the Queen Mother suddenly returned to the palace and brought the third elder brother back. It rained so heavily during the day, and the Queen Mother didn't think it was difficult to walk on the road, so she was in such a hurry, obviously in order to use the third elder brother to comfort Concubine Tong's pain of losing her father.
In Chuxiu Palace, Yang Guiren followed Concubine Chen to eat, speaking of these things, Yang Guiren said softly: "These days, Concubine Ning has been locked in the house and has not seen anyone, what is she going to do in the future, she is openly and secretly, but she has always been very wary of Jingren Palace's mother and son." ”
Chen Concubine ate the fish slowly, chewed it slowly, and said, "What does Fangjingren Palace do?" Didn't the imperial concubine give birth? ”
Yang Guiren smiled and said, "How can my sister plan for Chang Ning?" ”
Concubine Chen said: "This child was rejected by his biological father at birth, unless the other brothers die, otherwise he will not dream of being an emperor in this life, and in the future, I will honestly make a prince, and I will burn high incense." ”
Yang Guidao: "It's strange to say, the Queen Mother likes Concubine Tong so much, it's been seven years, and she won't be promoted to the concubine position, I think it's just to hold those Mongolian concubines, and even take a few of you to be wronged." ”
Concubine Chen held her cheeks and smiled: "Wait and see, it's going to make trouble, our queen mother, what can I do." ”
In the endless right and wrong, joys and sorrows, the heat retreats, the autumn breeze cools, and people's hearts are no longer so impetuous.
Nowadays, the six palaces are peaceful and peaceful, and under the control of the imperial concubine, the thirteen yamen have gradually restored their former orderliness after investigating the corruption and great loss of vitality.
But although Jia Yin was relieved, her body couldn't hold on, and the fatigue and tension of every day destroyed the already weak body to the wind and rain, and at the beginning of August, Jia Yin had a cold and fever, and fell asleep all day.
At this time, Zheng Chenggong led a large number of soldiers and horses to arrive at Yangshan by boat from Zhoushan, Zhejiang, where the sea route must be taken, south to Dinghai, north to Wusong, all of which can be reached by a tide, once the army breaks through the defense line, the Qing court is in danger.
Fu Lin was worried about the war outside, and the disease of Jiayin was worried inside, and he was angry at the ministers in the Qianqing Palace, and the anger came out from time to time, so that the queen did not dare to live in Kunning Palace, and hid in Cining Palace all day long to avoid the limelight.
At this time, Yuan Xi had already recovered, as in the past, serving the Queen Mother in Cining Palace, occasionally listening to a few words about the government, knowing that Zheng Chenggong was likely to come over, and pinched a sweat for the court and the emperor.
