Chapter 318: The daughter-in-law is stronger than you
Soon, late at night, when the emperor came, the children were already asleep, and he was tired, and when he came in and lay down on the beauty couch, he put one hand to his forehead and closed his eyes.
Concubine De asked the eunuch who accompanied her in front of the door, and when she learned that dinner had been served, she no longer had to eat food, but ordered hot water to be bent, and turned to the emperor and said, "The emperor should wash and change his clothes earlier, so that the bed is comfortable."
"I don't want to move."
"So you want me to sit on the side all night?"
Only then did the emperor slowly open his eyes, took Concubine De's hand and squeezed it, cheered up, and let the palace maids and eunuchs come in to serve.
After the emperor lay down and let out a long sigh of relief, he had a pair of soft hands to relieve his sore head for a whole day.
"I'm sleepy for a while, but I'll sleep, and if I can't talk to you, don't be annoyed."
"It's good to have nothing to say, and if you have something to say, it's just that there are troubles, and I'm distressed."
The emperor smiled, closed his eyes comfortably, and saw that he was really about to fall asleep, but he suddenly spoke: "Do you know that Concubine Tong will summon the daughters of the Tong family tomorrow?"
When it came to serious matters, Concubine De changed her intimate tone of joking and said respectfully, "The concubine heard about it."
The emperor said: "She must give the Tong family some warnings, but don't go too far, whether it is for them to kneel outside the palace gate, or to stand outside the palace gate, if the time is too long, you and Concubine Rong will go to a round and give a step down on both sides."
Concubine De received the order: "The concubine has written it down, and she will pay more attention tomorrow."
The Emperor sighed lightly, "If the eldest uncle is still here, how can there be such things." Look at the book
Concubine De asked, "Your Majesty, the concubines have always been curious, after the death of Lord Tong Guogang, it is supposed that his heirs should inherit the family business, is it too hasty to explain, let Tong Guowei take the lead?"
The emperor smiled bitterly and said, "The eldest uncle has been fighting horses all his life, teaching his son is inevitably strict, and he has a bad relationship with the eldest son Oro Dai, so Tong Guowei curry favor with both ends, coaxing the eldest brother and wooing his nephew at the same time. After his eldest uncle died on the battlefield, the coffin has not yet returned to Beijing, and Tong Guowei has already discussed with his eldest nephew and settled the matter of inheriting the family business, so how can I interfere."
Concubine De sighed: "Now in the entire Tong family, there is no one to contain him."
The room was quiet for a while before the emperor asked again, "Does Yinzhen know about this time?"
Concubine De shook her head: "The concubine doesn't know if that kid knows."
"You damn ......"
"Your Majesty."
The emperor stretched his muscles and bones lazily, and was not in a bad mood, so he stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and pulled the person sitting at the head of the bed to lie down, so that he could hold the soft and warm person and sleep comfortably.
"Don't you blame Yuxi, the concubine is very worried, you and the concubine can find out that Yuxi is playing tricks behind his back, can't Tong Guowei find out?"
"We watched the Wulanala family being wronged and wanted to vent our anger for them, only to accidentally find out that Yuxi sent people to instigate the evil slaves of the Tong family. And the Tong family can't count the people they offended outside, they don't have the king's law first, and the things that Yuxi sent people to add fuel to the fire are nothing at all."
Concubine De said worriedly: "Yinzhen has an upright temperament, if she hasn't discussed, the concubine is afraid that there will be a rift between husband and wife."
The emperor was impatient for a while, and reproached: "Tell me about you, you can't finish your heart all day long, whether this child and wife can be harmonious or not, is it up to us to have the final say?"
Concubine De stopped talking, turned her back and closed her eyes, but the person behind her gradually felt uneasy, hugged her and coaxed: "It's not good for me, I spoke a little louder, I approved a lot of folds today, and my wrist hurts."
Concubine De immediately turned around, held the emperor's right hand, and gently kneaded his wrist, and under the dim candlelight, she could also see her eyes full of distress.
The emperor was very comfortable, closed his eyes comfortably, and said, "I feel distressed by you, and Yinzhen also has a daughter-in-law who is distressed, Yuxi, this child, we can rest assured."
"Yuxi's courage is greater than the concubine imagined."
"My daughter-in-law is much better than you."
Concubine De asked, "Does the emperor want the concubines to restrain her, this kind of thing is more or less risky."
The Emperor's breath was already sleepy, and he said, "No need, there is nothing wrong with letting them have a few things in their hearts that they are secretly proud of."
In this way, after a night, the next day dawned, and many carriages and sedan chairs came under the Shenwu Gate, from Tong Guowei's wife, to the eldest daughter-in-law, niece and nephew's daughter-in-law, and the ladies and daughters of the family who had heads and faces in the family.
However, Concubine Tong Niangniang did not meet her family for a long time, until the Qianqing Gate dispersed, and the female dependents were still waiting outside the Shenwu Gate.
Let's say that although Concubine Tong and the late Empress Xiaoyi are sisters, she is the daughter of the concubine, and the concubine in the family has become the imperial concubine.
