Chapter 50: "The First Man in the Harem"
During Kangxi's reign, he made several southern tours, often leaving the prince for a month or two, leaving the prince in charge of the country.
It was because the courtiers also accepted the fact that Yongzheng was going to go on patrol well.
In addition, Prince Youyi stayed in the capital to preside over the government, and the urgent excerpt of 800 li was sent to the imperial review urgently, which was actually not much different from when the emperor was there.
When Yongzheng arranged the patrol, it was explained that it was mainly to watch the sailors and coastal defense.
brought with him generals such as Nian Qianyao and Yue Zhongqi, as well as Nian Xiyao and other officials from the Science and Technology Department and the Construction Department.
Other than that, there are only a few people who serve the pen and ink.
Compared with the people and horses of the Kangxi's southern patrol, it can be regarded as a light car, but it is still not so simple to go out.
Chi Xia waited and waited, and before he could leave, he had to go to ask for peace every day.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the climate becomes more and more pleasant, and the imperial garden is also fragrant with golden cinnamon.
I don't know if it was the "Mid-Autumn Symphony" that day that inspired the musicians' creative vitality, but recently when I wandered around the Imperial Garden, I couldn't often hear the sound of various musical instruments.
Chi Xia passed by and listened to it, and when he heard it wrong, he asked Miao Miao not very confidently: "Is it the song of the Mid-Autumn Festival?" ”
Miao Miao immediately nodded: "Yes." You don't like to go out, but a lot of musicians who didn't attend your rehearsals have been practicing this piece lately. Everyone in the palace knows that our emperor doesn't like music, but that day he was happy because of your tune......"
Chi Xia suddenly realized, no wonder those musicians had to send her sheet music recently to let her "guide".
It turned out that this entertainment was not liked by the emperor on a daily basis.
It's a pity that they worshiped the wrong mountain gate. She's also musically blind.
Miao Miao vaguely pointed to the Yanxi Palace in front of her.
Yanxi Palace is the residence of Jin Concubine and Guo Mianmian.
Chi Xia looked at her as if she had gossip to say, looked around at no one, and then said, "Say it, don't suffocate it." Be ...... quietly."
Miao Miao: "The concubine also imitated your clothes that day." The slave maid went to the Internal Affairs Office yesterday, passing by the Imperial Garden, and saw her wearing an orange-red jacket sprinkled with brocade and gold, "admiring the flowers" in the sun. ”
And this kind of deception?
Ji Xia was also amused by her.
The clothes she wore for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet were Yongzheng's, obviously to match the colorful performance, with silver silk brocade as the base, and a layer of gold-sprinkled tulle was superimposed on it, which was not only complicated, but also quite heavy.
Only under Nian Xiyao's "light show" can he shine without looking exaggerated.
Miao Miao concluded: "In short, you are now a celebrity in the palace. Someone else is watching your every move. ”
Chi Xia was glad that she would be able to slip away soon, and when she went out to hang out for two or three months, the freshness of "studying" her in the harem would pass.
The master and servant arrived at Kunning Palace while talking.
Now that he is greeting, Chi Xia's seat is second only to Concubine Qi, Concubine Nian and the newly promoted Concubine Yu, and has become the second on the right-hand side.
Sitting in front of her was Concubine Nian, and behind her was Guo Mianmian. This row looks like the "non-toxic and harmless group".
Miao Miao stood behind her and quietly poked her, with a "quick look" expression.
Chi Xia raised his eyes, and sure enough, he saw the little improved, but still very complicated brocade sprinkled gold placket jacket on his concubine, and quietly turned his head and glared at Miao Miao, and said silently, "Don't make trouble." ”
The queen is still kindly asking everyone that the imperial dining room should change some moist dishes in the autumn, so that everyone can give some opinions.
Seeing her here, she was even more kind: "Especially Concubine Zhao, the emperor always praises you for making good dishes, and you can write a few recipes when you have time to let the imperial dining room ponder." ”
Concubine Yu knew very well that her upward move was rubbing the east wind of Chi Xia, and she reciprocated for her.
"But it's not, Tianshen ate a roasted sweet potato at Zhao Concubine Niangniang's place, and when he came back, he was worried about it, and when he saw that heaven and earth pestered Mama to make it for him, he said that it was not this taste, and it was not as delicious as Zhao Concubine Niangniang's."
Chi Xia smiled, she also had a good impression of Hongday, who was going to help her dig sweet potatoes for the hungry people to eat: "Then I'll roast it in a while and let Miao Miao send it." ”
Concubine Jin touched the dotted cui gilt hairpin on her sideburns: "Sister Geng's face is much better than ours, and Concubine Zhao's food is usually only for the heart hall." ”
This sour smell can already waft out for several meters, and the whole house can smell it.
Chi Xia was too lazy to be sour with her, so he just didn't hear it.
Concubine Zhao said: "But Concubine Zhao must be busy preparing her luggage now, waiting to accompany the emperor to go out on a tour of the mountains and rivers, even if we can't help, it's not good to make trouble again." ”
Out on patrol, good mountains, good waters, good scenery, the thousands of majestic and sandwich scenes of greeting and sending, she has seen many times in her dreams.
Chi Xia: ......
The sourness is endless.
The queen glanced at the concubine with a slight "reminder": "This tour is far away, and several elder brothers and Gege are still young, so they can't do without the care of you mothers." ”
The implication is that you don't have to worry about it.
The number of candidates was reduced to four in one fell swoop.
Only Concubine Nian, Chi Xia, Guo Mianmian, and An agreed.
The queen looked at Chi Xia again: "The emperor is going to do business, not to play in the mountains and rivers." No matter who you bring, you should do your best to take good care of the emperor's diet and daily life. ”
Now everyone understood, and they all said, "Follow the teachings of the queen's mother".
Coming out of Kunning Palace, Concubine Yu intended to walk with Chi Xia: "If Concubine Zhao is not busy, she will also go to my palace to sit, Tianshen likes you." ”
Chi Xia doesn't like to visit the door, but he doesn't reach out and hit the smiling person.
Ying Chengdao: "I won't go today, I'm so embarrassed to come to the door empty-handed, bake some snacks for Niangniang and Fifth Brother to bring another day." ”
The words were bright, and Concubine Yu was also happy.
Concubine Qi and Concubine Nian originally made an appointment to make osmanthus brewing together, and they also came up to make a joke: "I have long heard that Concubine Zhao will make all kinds of dim sum, I don't know if I understand winemaking?" Teach us the trick of making osmanthus brew. ”
She really has this.
At that time, the salted fish system gave a lot of food prescriptions, involving osmanthus, there are candied osmanthus, osmanthus sugar lotus, dried osmanthus, osmanthus stuffed and a series of others.
She directly found the osmanthus brewed and read it again: "There are other recipes based on osmanthus flowers, and I will copy them to you when I go back." ”
Concubine Nian has always been fond of socializing, so Concubine Qi made a "representative" and said with a smile: "When it's done, please come and try it." ”
Don't open your eyes.
The fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother are of the same age, and she has always been closest to the Geng family, but now that the Geng family has become a concubine, she is still in the concubine position.
Although she didn't say anything on her face, she was very unhappy in her heart.
What's more, in every night's dream, after Hongli ascended the throne, Hongli was obsessed with mourning for himself, and Geng's flattery to her for the sake of his son was boundless.
And Concubine Qi and Concubine Nian, one son is not successful, and one son dies one after another, they are not her opponents at all.
She should be the first person in the harem, but now, these people are all around Chi Xia.
She lowered her head to hide her resentful eyes.
