Concubine Tong looked at Kangxi, an indescribably complicated expression appeared on her face, and after a while, she said: "The emperor knows that although the fourth elder brother is not the biological son of the concubine, the concubine regards himself as his mother-in-law, and the concubine sincerely hopes that he will have a good future." Reading //"

Kangxi said softly: "I know that the fourth elder brother is smart and agile, and he is a leader among the emperor's elder brothers, and I will be of great use in the future." ”

Concubine Tong stared at Kangxi's eyes tightly and said, "Because of this, the concubine has to beg the emperor to protect the fourth elder brother and carefully seal him the title." ”

Kangxi saw the nervousness on Concubine Tong's face, and said with pity: "Yinzhen is my son, how can I not cherish him, Yinzhen has done a lot of things in the past few years, there is a small merit, and there is nothing wrong with it. ”

Concubine Tong Guifei coughed lightly and said, "Yinzhen was sealed Beizi before he was five years old, and he has never seen it since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, which is already an outlier. How many people's eyes are on him? His younger brothers, the fifth Yinqi, the seventh Yinyou, and the eight, the ninth and even the tenth, are all over four years old, and they have not seen anyone with such holy dependents, and their mothers are sometimes polite when they see the concubines, and the concubines dare not speculate, but in this harem, there are a lot of rumors, which have pushed Yinzhen to the cusp. ”

Kangxi was silent, but thoughtful.

Concubine Tong continued: "The concubine is a mother, she knows Yinzhen's temperament very well, this child is very smart, but he is too sincere, and he attaches great importance to feelings, sometimes he can't help but act recklessly, if the concubine leaves this time, and he causes trouble again, what should I do? Who else can protect this child? The concubine has a selfish heart, and always expects this child to be safe and secure all his life. Reading //"

When Kangxi heard this, he couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Yue'er, you think too much, no, I still want to be a long-term couple with you, until we are all white, and we are still clinging to each other, isn't it a beautiful conversation?"

Concubine Tong smiled and said, "The emperor is coaxing his concubines, Yue'er's illness, I know it in my heart, I'm afraid that my days are numbered." ”

Kangxi couldn't help but be gloomy.

Concubine Tong continued: "The concubine begs the emperor not to be knighted before the crown ceremony of the fourth elder brother, let him sharpen his temperament well, and the future will be long, if he is really good in the future, he can be of great use for the emperor and the prince, and the concubine thinks that the emperor and the prince will not lose him." If this child is not successful, he will be able to keep a lifetime of wealth and peace in his life, which is not a good thing. The concubine is a small abacus, and the emperor is asked to fulfill it. ”

Kangxi was silent for a long time, sighed, and said: "Yue'er, you have always been for the sake of others, you have not planned for yourself, you have served me for so long, and you have never asked for anything, this first request, but it is like this, you make my heart hurt." ”

A trace of crimson floated across Concubine Tong's face, and said: "Your Majesty, Yue'er is ashamed, in terms of virtue and wisdom, the concubines are by no means as good as Empress Xiaochengren, and they have not been able to leave a blood for the emperor, the emperor loves the concubines so much, the concubines are already content, where can there be any more luxury?"

Kangxi shook his head and said: "Yue'er, you have been by my side since you were a child, after Hesheri left, you have been accompanying me and taking care of the harem for me, but you have never coveted the queen's throne, nurtured the fourth elder brother for me, and raised him in a moderate manner, courteous and frugal, how can you still say that you have no merit, I will give you today You should have it a long time ago." ”

Then, Kangxi called Li Dequan in a loud voice and ordered: "Go, go now, find all the clans above Beizi, the ministers of the study, the cabinet scholars, get up early tomorrow morning, I want to announce the establishment of the dynasty, Tong Jiashi, specially canonize the queen, in order to show favor." ”

Li Dequan was ordered to leave in a hurry.

Concubine Tong was stunned for a while, her face turned pale, and after a while, she said, "Your Majesty, ......." ”

Kangxi smiled and said, "From today on, you are the harem, don't be called like this, do you remember, when you first entered the palace when you were a child, how did you call me like this?" ”

This sentence suddenly brought Tong Jiashi back to Kangxi for four years, that year, she entered the palace to pay homage to her aunt, that is, Kangxi's biological mother Cihe Empress Dowager, at that time, she was only eleven years old, when she saw Kangxi, her mind was blank, and she didn't know what to call Kangxi, so she actually called out stupidly: "Little brother." caused his Ama to complain for a while, but Kangxi laughed.

Thinking of these past events, Tong Jiashi looked shy, and called softly again: "Little brother." ”

Kangxi was both happy and sad, and after a while, he said, "You have a good rest, I will go and see the preparations for tomorrow's ceremony." ”

Tong Jiashi smiled faintly and said, "Can the emperor take a look at Yinzhen's placement?" This child is very thoughtful, I am sick, he is not at ease, if he hasn't rested, let him come in and accompany the concubine for a while?"

Kangxi nodded and walked out. Sure enough, as soon as he came out of the door, he saw Yinzhen standing outside the door, with an eager face, Kangxi secretly praised Yinzhen for his pure filial piety in his heart, but he only said lightly: "Didn't your emperor order you to rest earlier? Why are you so disproportionate?"

Yin Zhen knelt down and replied: "Erchen just can't worry about Eniang's body, so he wants to wait outside the door, and he doesn't dare to alarm Huang Eniang, and Erchen is guilty."

Kangxi then said: "You are filial piety, go in and accompany your emperor's mother, read a few poems for her, be quieter, try to let her fall asleep, don't delay for too long, your emperor's mother's illness needs to rest." ”

Yin Zhen kowtowed and said, "Erchen wrote it down." ”

Kangxi left with confidence.

When Yinzhen entered the room, he went straight to Tong Jia's couch, Tong Jia's saw this, and couldn't help but be very moved, and said: "E-Niang knows that your child must not be able to sleep peacefully, is he tired?"

Yin Zhen's heart was sour, and said: "Erchen is not in the way, but I am just worried about Eniang's situation, Eniang feels better now? ”

Tong Jiashi said: "Don't worry, Eniang has something to say, I want to talk to you now." Remember, these words are the private words of our mother, and they must not be passed on, can you understand?"

Yin Zhen nodded, a little dazed.

Tong Jiashi lovingly reached out and grabbed Yinzhen's hand, let Yinzhen sit beside him, and then said in a low voice: "Zhen'er, your emperor Ama has just named me the queen." ”

Yin Zhen was overjoyed and said, "The son of the minister congratulates the emperor!"

Empress Tong smiled bitterly and said, "It's a pity that your emperor's life is running out, and it may not be good for you to make me the queen." ”
