Compared to the Imperial Noble Consort who had not yet recovered, was forcing herself to attend the event and was in a state of confusion, Concubine Hui seemed much more calm.
She was shocked by the Emperor's action of holding Concubine Yi's hand. Her expression changed slightly, but she soon regained her friendly smile. When the banquet was halfway through, she was the first to speak, breaking the silence.
Concubine Hui took a sip of tea, then put down the teacup and said with a smile, "Sister Yifei is the best at raising children. Look at the Fifth Prince, and then look at our Ninth Prince who is one month old. They are very strong and well-behaved, and they are lovable. Unlike Yinzhi, he is as lively as a monkey, and I can't control him! Your Majesty should reward your sister well."
In this sentence, she not only praised Yunxiu, but also mentioned the eldest prince, showing her dignified demeanor. After being ordered to assist in the management of the harem, Concubine Hui now has more confidence to reply.
What she said was not wrong. When the eldest prince saw the prince and his men go to the back hall, how could he stay still? He ate a few mouthfuls in a hurry and then bowed to Kangxi, which made the emperor smile heartily and approved his request with a wave of his hand.
As soon as she finished speaking, Rong Fei glanced at her with a half-smile and was about to say something, when suddenly, Anpin Li, who had been invisible for a long time and had always been silent, took over Hui Fei's words.
"What Concubine Hui said is absolutely right," Concubine An said gently, "Concubine Yi is not only good at raising children. After the confinement period, the queen's complexion has become even more beautiful and charming, which really makes me envious..."
After hearing this, the ladies had different expressions. Some of them felt uncomfortable, especially Jingpin, who shared the same palace with Anpin. Her eyebrows gradually knitted together, revealing a slightly inquiring look.
Putting aside the content of the conversation, over the years, Concubine An gradually lost favor, and she did not fight or compete, and was like a transparent person with no desires or demands... But today she changed her temper and started to speak compliments!
Yunxiu glanced at Concubine An, then at Concubine Hui, and immediately understood.
De Fei became Wupin, and the position of concubine became vacant. For a while, the harem would not be able to calm down. All the concubines wanted to take the vacant position, including the "desireless" Anpin, and naturally the others.
Concubine Hui acted quickly enough, and the Empress Dowager issued an imperial decree and walked with the extremely low-key Concubine An. Yunxiu had a dream that predicted the future, so she naturally knew what this was for.
Concubine An was born in the Han Army Banner. Although she was not favored, her background should not be underestimated.
Her grandfather was Li Yongfang, the first Han general to submit to the Qing Dynasty, and was deeply trusted by Emperor Taizong. Since her grandfather, the Li family has been rooted in the Green Camp for generations and has made great contributions. It was precisely because of this that when the harem was conferred in the 16th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, Concubine An became the head of the six concubines at that time, ranking even before Concubine Hui and her.
After Li Yongfang passed away, the Li family lost its pillar and inevitably declined. However, the accumulated military merits still existed, and the family's prestige in the Han Army Banner did not fade.
Concubine Hui, this is paving the way for Yinzhi!
There must be some instruction from Mingzhu here...
In a blink of an eye, Yun Xiu understood the whole cause and effect. His expression paused slightly, and he unconsciously became a little annoyed.
The fight for the position of concubine had nothing to do with her, they could fight as much as they wanted, but it was hard to say if it involved the previous dynasty.
Concubine Hui was still thinking about winning over Yu and the Guoluo clan, and no one knew what would happen in the future. The same went for Soetu.
The full-moon gift he asked his wife to present to the Yiku Palace was particularly exquisite. A few days ago, his father sent a letter saying that Hesheli had sent someone to Shengjing, and his words revealed the intention of cooperation, and he also sent a generous gift.
After the Emperor purged the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Pingpin's thorns were completely removed, and it seemed that no useful information could be transmitted. Huifei already had the power to assist in the management of the harem, so Suo'etu became anxious. After thinking about it, he temporarily set his sights on Yikun Palace, on her.
…
Thinking of this, Yunxiu paused while picking up the food and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Didn’t the prince tell Soetu what she had said to warn him
That's good news.
*****
As early as when Concubine Hui was praising Concubine Yi, the emperor, who was high on the throne, nodded slightly and his smiling eyes fell on Yunxiu.
When Concubine An took over the conversation, Yunxiu still had a faint smile on her face, but Kangxi keenly sensed her unhappiness and thought she was tired, so she didn't want to reply.
Kangxi waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "You are right!" Then he pointed to the table and said, "Let's eat."
…
Almost half of the people choked.
Concubine An should have been happy because the emperor spoke to her again after such a long time; but when she heard the words, her cheeks stiffened a little, and the joy in her heart disappeared. After a few breaths, she stood up, saluted, and answered "yes" with difficulty.
Among all the women in the palace, except those who had long given up vying for favor, who didn't envy Guo Luoluo
She was the most favored concubine in the harem and gave birth to children one after another. The emperor was also willing to indulge her arrogance.
Everyone wants to be her.
When Concubine An said that Concubine Yi was beautiful, she was just following Concubine Hui's words, with only two parts of sincerity and eight parts of falsehood.
The Emperor actually responded?!
Concubine An felt very disappointed. Now the Emperor was showing favoritism towards Concubine Yi, and he didn't even bother to hide it.
This is not the most heartbreaking thing.
He also thought she was noisy...
The wives of the royal family looked at each other, and it was Prince Yu's wife who reacted first. She coughed lightly and covered the smile at the corner of her mouth.
Yun Xiu held up the chopsticks and blinked, looking dazed for a rare moment.
Before she could even politely refuse, what was the emperor doing
She had finally made it through the confinement period, and she wasn't here to offend anyone.
Unable to hold back any longer, Yunxiu secretly glared at Kangxi, which he received accurately.
In the emperor's view, this was not called "staring" but "anger". He felt very happy and even the food he ate tasted more delicious.
The Imperial Noble Consort ate calmly and slowly, with her eyes lowered; Concubine Hui was worried about Yinzhi and ate without much appetite.
When Concubine Rong saw the emperor's smile, she felt bitter and slightly sour in her heart; when Concubine Ping heard the words "You are absolutely right", her teeth were almost broken.
What a Concubine Yi who is so popular in the emperor's heart!
…
After three rounds of banquet, it was time to end. When Kangxi stood up, everyone knelt down and said goodbye to the emperor.
Pingpin breathed a sigh of relief and slowly loosened her clenched hands. In an instant, she felt an unbearable pain. It turned out that her fingernails had left a sharp mark on the palm of her hand.
Kangxi walked out at a brisk pace, and when he passed by Yunxiu, he paused for a moment and said in a gentle voice:
"I will review the memorials first, and come to see you and Yinzhen in the evening."
On the other side, Jiu Ye, who was surrounded by a group of brothers, was in tears.
When he met his brothers again, before he could express his feelings for a few moments, the eldest brother came in a hurry, and he and the prince exchanged glances, and there was a lot of teasing in their words.
It would be bad enough if it was just a bank run, but they are using it as a raft!
Seeing the prince's hand resting on the baby's belly, Yinzhi sighed and said, "Ninth brother's skin is tender, second brother must be careful and don't use too much force, otherwise Yi'er Niang will be distressed."
His expression was full of care and concern, like a good brother who was thinking about his younger brother.
Yinzhen was immediately startled. How could the young prince endure what the eldest brother said
But you must be patient and don’t fight in Yikun Palace, otherwise no one will be in trouble!
The prince's pupils shrank slightly, and he slowly retracted his hand. He was silent for a while, then nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "Big brother is right. It was Yinreng who was reckless and did not consider the feelings of the ninth brother. Although the ninth brother cannot speak, he knows the cold and the heat just like us. The ancients said..."
Yinzhen: “…”
The following is a long paragraph of quotations from classics, the central idea of which is: respect the younger brother's feelings and humbly accept the guidance of the older brother. It is the greatest virtue to correct one's mistakes!
In his previous life, Yinzhen hated reciting books, thinking that teachers were showing off their knowledge. He was the most mischievous one in the study room since he was a child. He listened with dull eyes, dizzy and starry eyes, and had no idea what day it was...
Not to mention him, the eldest prince Yinzhi was not much better.
Yinzhen, who was standing nearby, had just learned the Analects of Confucius, and Yinqi had not yet started school, so they both looked extremely ignorant.
Especially Xiaowu, it would have been fine if he didn't understand, but he would exclaim from time to time, with four big words written on his round face - "Second brother is awesome". Yinzhi saw it and his face turned even paler.
He really couldn't stand this kind of atmosphere, so he sneered and walked away quickly. In the eyes of the prince, his back suddenly added a hint of fleeing.
The prince suddenly stopped and then smiled brilliantly, which made Master Jiu, who was secretly watching him, shudder and quickly close his eyes.
For a time, Yinzhen was full of admiration for his mother.
I always felt that the prince's filling had turned into black sesame filling, but it turned out that it was not an illusion.
If this goes on, the eldest brother is far from being a match for the prince. The battle between Mingzhu and Soetu will be something to watch.
Yinzhen was thinking so intently that he suddenly felt a chill between his thighs. In an instant, the little kid was frightened and looked angry.
Who pulled my crotchless pants
Accompanied by a loud howl and a soft murmur of "Ninth brother has such a rich expression", Yun Xiu held the hand of Nanny Dong and walked into the back hall.
"What's going on?" she asked with a smile.
Nothing! I was just caught doing something bad.
The prince turned his back to Yunxiu and quickly put on the open-crotch pants for his ninth brother, like a nesting doll, and put them on quickly and swiftly.
After he finished, he turned around and coughed softly, "Mother Yi, I am playing with my ninth brother."
After saying that, he winked at Yinqi frantically!
Seeing that his mother was looking back at him, Yinqi hummed and spoke slowly and timidly, as if he was sincere and would not lie: "Mother, what my second brother said is right. My ninth brother likes playing with him very much."
Yinzhen opened his eyes wide and screamed, unable to speak. He twisted his body and felt a pain in his butt.
Jiu Ye suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
The crown prince does not know right from wrong; his brother helps the tyrant to commit atrocities.
This life is unbearable!
*****
That night, the emperor turned over Yunxiu's nameplate early, and at dinner time, he arrived at the main hall of Yiku Palace.
As winter approaches, the sky darkens faster and faster. The corridor is lit up with warm lights, as is the bedroom, filling the room with warmth.
As soon as Yinzhen arrived in his royal father's arms, he burst into tears, which made Kangxi feel extremely distressed.
"What's going on?" Kangxi coaxed him for a long time, but was also worried for a long time, fearing that the boy would give him a pee and soak the black dragon-patterned robe he had carefully put on.
The result is no.
Because Jiu Ye finally found his conscience!
In this life, because of a different mother, the old man treats him very well, at least countless times better than the prince and his own brother.
Some things can only be known through comparison, Yinzhen thought quietly, and then, mercifully, he gave his royal father a smile.
Before he could even smile, he heard his mother softly say, "Xiaojiu is familiar with the Crown Prince's embrace, so he is shy with others, right? Even Xiaowu can't compare to his intimacy with his second brother. He even complained to me in the afternoon."
Kangxi was delighted when he heard this and immediately said with a smile: "Good, good. The prince is becoming more and more like an elder brother!"
The author has something to say: Xiaojiu: I have something to say, but I don’t know whether I should say it or not.
