20 Chapter 20

"Bengong looks at the concubine sister, you are in a good mood early in the morning, there must be something to be happy about, why don't you also call Bengong to listen?"

Concubine De lightly let the concubine who was saluting get up, but her eyes never moved away from the concubine, seeing that the concubine pursed her lips and did not speak, Concubine De asked again.

Now the concubine can no longer pretend to be stupid, so she has to fool around: "Isn't it a happy thing to have a new sister to accompany you." ”

Although she looked down on Concubine De's background, she didn't dare to blatantly confront her, who made the palace rules strict, Concubine De was one of the four concubines, and there was Princess Brother under her knees, she was just a concubine.

However, if the concubine refuses to say it, it doesn't mean that the concubine's rival will not let go of this opportunity to step on her.

Concubine Hesheri, who lived in Chuxiu Palace with the concubine, chuckled: "I thought how hard the concubine's mouth was, but it was just like that, dare not admit it?" ”

Don't look at her and the concubine are both Hesheri, in fact, the identities of the two are very different, she is the sister-in-law of the Hesheri clan after the Yuan Dynasty, the aunt of the current prince, although she has no official position in the palace, she also enjoys the treatment of a concubine.

Therefore, Concubine Hesheri is not afraid of the small side branches of the Hesheri family at all.

In front of so many people, she was embarrassed by Concubine Hesheri, and her face was flushed, and she immediately wanted to greet Concubine Hesheri in the face with a backhand, but she was quickly stopped by Concubine Hesheri, and then pushed hard, and the bottom of the flower pot under the concubine's feet was unstable, so she twisted her foot and fell to the ground.

Seeing that she was so embarrassed, Concubine Hesheri was full of ridicule, and even Concubine De hooked her lips: "Why did Sister Concubine fall so carelessly, is it serious?" But do you want this palace to order someone to pass on the imperial doctor? ”

The concubine's personality is flamboyant and domineering, and her popularity among the concubines has always been bad, so she is so ugly, and no one has spoken to help, so she had to sprinkle her anger on her palace maid and pinched Biyun's arm fiercely: "Are you a dead man?" Why don't you hurry up and help the palace up? ”

Biyun didn't dare to speak out when she was in pain, and she couldn't help the concubine by herself, so she hurriedly beckoned the palace maid of Chuxiu Palace to step forward with her, and the two worked together to help the concubine up.

The strength of the whole body almost leaned on Biyun, the concubine touched the loose hair, looked down at the clothes that had become dirty, gritted her teeth and said: "The concubine is not in good clothes, I am afraid I can't ask the imperial concubine Niangniang to say goodbye, and I also ask Concubine De Niangniang to return one or two for the concubine." ”

She didn't want to ask Concubine De in a low voice, but at this time, only Concubine De had the highest position, and she could only bow her head to Concubine De.

Concubine De was not too embarrassed, and agreed very coolly: "You go." ”

After the farce of the concubines in front of the gate of the Chengqian Palace, it was very quiet for a while, until the rest of the three concubines and concubines arrived, the gate of the Chengqian Palace was opened, and everyone entered one after another.

Before stepping into Chengqian Palace, the palace gate of Jingren Palace next door suddenly opened, and Concubine De thought that Concubine Zhao had come out, so she subconsciously turned her head to look, but saw a familiar figure entering Jingren Palace.

That person, if she remembers correctly, was Wei Zhu, Liang Jiugong's apprentice.

Jingren Palace, Cao Yue has just freshened up and dressed up, and was going to go to Chengqian Palace, Wei Zhu came at this time, and also brought Kangxi's message: "The emperor said, Zhao Concubine Niangniang, you have been tired of traveling and driving, and you have just entered the palace, you always have to adapt to a few days, take a rest, and it is not too late to go to Chengqian Palace to ask for peace again at the beginning of the year." ”

Today is the twenty-eighth, and there are only two or three days left until the first day of the next month.

Cao Yue didn't sleep all night, and his spirit was already poor, with Kangxi's words, Cao Yue responded with the boat: "Thank you for the emperor's trouble, what else did the emperor explain?" ”

Wei Zhu held a smile on his face and said Kangxi's orders one by one: "The emperor also instructed the minions, let the minions come over and follow your orders, and assist you in arranging the trivial affairs of Jingren Palace." ”

He took the people of the Qianqing Palace to pick up the car in the square yesterday, and the emperor told Zhao Concubine Niangniang to let him come to Jingren Palace, and he heard it clearly.

It's just that when it comes to figuring out the Sacred Heart, he is far worse than his master Liang Jiugong, and he doesn't know what the emperor said, whether he will let him stay in Jingren Palace to serve in the future, or just come to Jingren Palace Town.

So he didn't come to Jingren Palace for the first time last night, but asked the master in private first, but fortunately, he still had to go back to Qianqing Palace to serve.

After figuring out what the emperor meant, he hurried over this morning.

"The emperor said to the palace yesterday that in this way, it will bother Father-in-law Wei Zhu."

Although Cao Yue's forehead was a little painful, he still had a shallow smile on his face, looking very polite.

Wei Zhu didn't dare to say again: "Does the mother have anything to tell the slaves to do?" ”

Speaking of this, Cao Yue frowned, and seemed to be slightly embarrassed: "This palace is the first day to enter the palace, and I don't know much about the rules of many things in the palace. It's not as good as ......."

Wei Zhu bowed her body, very humble, listened carefully to Cao Yue's words, and followed her wishes: "What do you think?" ”

Cao Yue smiled embarrassedly: "It's better for Father-in-law Wei Zhu and An Shun to deal with these trivial matters together, and when they are properly handled, just talk to the palace." ”

This answer was somewhat unexpected, and Wei Zhu hesitated for a moment to know whether to agree or not.

These concubines in the palace, which one of them is not strictly controlled in their own palace, like Zhao Concubine, who handed over the palace affairs of Jingren Palace to their two minions to deal with, is unique in the entire harem.

After a few breaths, Wei Zhu didn't respond, Cao Yue asked, "But what's wrong?" ”

Wei Zhu hurriedly shook his head: "There is nothing wrong, since the mother has orders, the slave must do his best." ”

After agreeing to it, Wei Zhu respectfully retired, went out to find Anshun, and discussed how to do the errand together.

Cao Yue threw out a huge test and temptation, and his mood was a little better, and he didn't even have so much pain with his head.

She ordered this for two reasons, one was to try how loyal and capable she was, the eunuch in charge.

As for these two, there are servants sent by the emperor to the town, and they don't need to use it in vain, they should be able to handle a lot of things with the hands of the people in front of the emperor.

Leisurely picked up the teacup and drank two sips of tea, An Ning came in with two plates of pastries and a small bowl of milk bird's nest, and placed them in Cao Yue's hand one by one: "The slave maid saw that most of the breakfast sent by the imperial dining room was not to your taste, so she had to ask someone to go to the imperial dining room to get some ingredients, and let Anping reluctantly make two pastries for you with the stove in the pantry." ”

Looking at the pastries that are far inferior to the pastries, you can see how bad the conditions for making pastries are.

Cao Yue didn't dislike it, pinched a piece and ate it slowly: "Didn't you say that the palace with the main seat will be equipped with a small kitchen?" ”

Speaking of this, An Ning was angry: "The slave and maid also wondered, and when I went to take a look, I realized that the small kitchen was matched, but there were no pots and pans inside, the cook or anything, just an empty shell." ”

Seeing that the imperial concubine was extremely attentive to Jingren Palace, and the magnificent decoration of Jingren Palace was actually some fancy shelves, and there were no practical things.

Cao Yue was not as angry as An Ning, and even laughed.

An Ning stomped her feet, and her angry face puffed up: "It's all handled like this, and you still laugh." ”

Cao Yue stuffed a piece of pastry into An Ning's mouth and raised her eyebrows: "Why can't you laugh?" I laughed because I suddenly found out that the imperial concubine in charge of the harem was nothing more than that. ”

Not only does she want a reputation for being virtuous and generous, but she also has selfishness in doing things, isn't this just sending a handle to her?

An Ning's mouth was blocked, so she had to chew the dim sum angrily and swallow it: "You mean that the imperial concubine is strong on the outside?" ”

Cao Yue picked up the cow's milk bird's nest and blew it slowly: "You say that, it's not wrong." The small kitchen is a must-have for the lord of the first palace, and eating is also the top priority, the imperial concubine deliberately ignored it, and the palace let the emperor personally instruct it, and then hit whose face it was, so don't you need to say. ”

However, An Ning didn't understand very well: "But if the imperial concubine is strong outside, how can the emperor rest assured that the harem will be handed over to the imperial concubine to take care of?" ”

Cao Yue drank a spoonful of bird's nest and smiled silently.

Because the emperor doesn't need a woman who is too smart to take care of the harem.

This is also the reason why she has to behave in front of the emperor to be ignorant of mundane things.

Just as Wei Zhu and Anshun were cleaning up Jingren Palace, Kangxi also went down to the court, and without even changing his court clothes, he hurried to Cining Palace to ask the Empress Dowager for peace.

The grandfather and grandson haven't seen each other for a long time, but it took a quarter of an hour for the two of them to shush each other, and Kangxi told the empress dowager some interesting things they encountered on the road, and the empress dowager smiled.

Su Mo'er personally handed Kangxi a cup of tea to moisten her throat, and said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't know, the queen mother knows that you returned to the palace in the middle of the night, and you can't sleep early, so she told the slave maid to groom and change her clothes and wait for you." ”

When Kangxi heard this, he didn't drink the tea, and a touch of apology appeared between his eyebrows: "It's the grandson, I knew it was like this, and the grandson should have come to greet you as soon as he returned to the palace." ”

The Empress Dowager smacked Su Mo'er and said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't have to think too much, you have returned to the palace all the way, you should rest and rest more, the mourning family is in this Cining Palace, and it is not too late to come and say goodbye." ”

"It's still the royal grandmother who feels sorry for her grandson."

Kangxi has the intimacy of a good empress dowager in and out of his words, making the empress dowager in a very good mood, always smiling, looking like a kind old lady.

Watching Kangxi raise his head to drink tea, the Empress Dowager fiddled with the sandalwood Buddha beads in her hand, and said casually: "The mourning family heard that the emperor brought back a concubine and sealed the concubine position?" ”

Kangxi put down the teacup and smiled: "Yes, I can't hide anything from Huang Mama." ”

The Empress Dowager glanced at Kangxi, and said kindly: "This matter is known all over the palace, and it is not uncommon for the mourning family to know, right?" It's just that the mourning family is very curious, so that the emperor can ignore the rules of your ancestors and make an exception to seal the concubine, presumably this concubine is very much in line with your wishes. ”

As she spoke, the Empress Dowager lowered her eyes, covering her cloudy eyes that kept flickering.

Kangxi was raised by the Empress Dowager, and he knew what the Empress Dowager liked and hated.

He was quite fond of Concubine Zhao, and he didn't want her to be disgusted by the Empress Dowager, so he pretended to be careless:

"What Huang Ma said is biased, there are so many concubines in the harem, which one has something that suits my heart. As for Concubine Zhao, it is a bit true, but a large part of the reason why I gave her the position of concubine is also to give the Cao family dignity. This time, the Cao family has nothing to do with the driver, and I am not a stingy monarch, I always want to reward the Cao family with something or something. ”

The Empress Dowager's half-believing gaze swept over Kangxi's face, she knew that the emperor loved the Cao family, and a large part of the reason was the Sun family, after all, the emperor missed the old love, otherwise the Cao family would not have developed to this point.

Concubine Zhao is the daughter of the Sun family, and it is understandable for the emperor to promote Concubine Zhao.

It's just that she also heard that Concubine Zhao's face is stunning, and there is no one in the harem to compare, doesn't the emperor take it to heart?
