Kangxi was curious about Su Yuanyuan, so of course he went to Chengqian Palace to have dinner with them in the evening. Su Yuanyuan is only six years old, and Yinzhen is only eleven years old. He is still a child without a housemate. They talk and laugh like a family of four, but there is no need to avoid suspicion.

Su Yuanyuan perfectly played the innocent, cute, smart and clever little girl. Her childish words made Kangxi laugh out loud, and all the troubles brought about by the previous court were forgotten. Kangxi casually asked Su Yuanyuan what he liked, and wanted to reward her with something.

Su Yuanyuan rolled her eyes and asked expectantly, "Can I have a hairpin?"

Tong Jiawanxian nodded her head amusedly, "How can you wear a hairpin, you little girl? Your hair is still short, so wearing pearl flowers is more beautiful."

Su Yuanyuan tilted her head, "Really? Then why did Empress Defei give me a hairpin? I thought it would look good on me."

Both Kangxi and Tong Jiawanxian restrained their smiles, and Kangxi asked lightly, "Has Xuanying met Concubine De since she entered the palace?"

"Yeah, I saw it when I picked up my cousin. The Empress Defei said that she made clothes for my cousin for many days, and specially prepared soup and snacks for my cousin to replenish his body. The Empress Defei said that it was the first time Seeing that I wanted to give me a meeting gift, I gave me the hairpin in my hair, but I didn't dare to take it, that hairpin is too expensive."

"Oh? Yinzhen, did Concubine De come to see you specially?" As soon as Kangxi started to pay attention to his fourth son, Concubine De went to block people in private. Kangxi, who had gone through all kinds of strife in front and rear palaces, had to think more.

Yinzhen replied without changing his face: "Huang Ama, the concubine de concubine advised my son not to work too hard, lest he hurt his body and leave her like the sixth younger brother. But the son has already explained that the son is in good health , These days, I feel that my riding and shooting skills are stronger, so I refused the tonic from Defei Empress, and Defei Empress is pregnant with her younger brother, so it is more appropriate to use tonic."

"Well, you have a heart. Your mother-in-law taught you very well and took good care of you. You must be filial to your mother-in-law." Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen and Tong Jiawanxian, and suddenly asked, "Yinzhen , you are by your empress's side, and you don't often see Concubine De, do you blame me?"

As soon as these words came out, Tong Jiawanxian's face immediately changed. Although Yinzhen has been treating her like a mother during this time, she can't forget that Yinzhen was provoked by Concubine De to alienate her a few years ago, and it was not easy for her life to have some fun. Could it be ruined by that woman again? hand

Tong Jiawanxian looked at Yinzhen nervously, but Yinzhen just said plainly: "I don't blame my son, I dare not hide the truth from Empress Huang. Although my son grew up next to Empress Empress, in the past few years, I often saw Empress Defei." The concubine de concubine always cared about her son, but she kept it from her because she was afraid that the empress would not like it. Now that her son has grown up, she feels that the empress has always been magnanimous and would never get angry with her son because of such trivial matters. Stupid."

He bowed apologetically to Tong Jiawanxian, and said: "My son was also confused before, but after the unfortunate death of my sixth brother three years ago, the concubine de concubine saw her son again, presumably because she had to take care of her younger sisters. Now that the Concubine De has a younger brother, she must be very happy. Having younger brothers and sisters who are filial to the Concubine De, my son can feel at ease. The Empress has treated her son with good intentions these years, and the son should be filial to the Empress. .”

Tong Jiawanxian could see that what Yinzhen said was true, she couldn't hide her excitement for a while, and wept with joy. But Kangxi was stunned. He just asked that question just thinking of some old things. He remembered that Concubine De often said that she missed Yinzhen, and she was afraid to see Yinzhen because of the imperial concubine. He felt depressed, so he often stayed in Yonghe Palace to comfort him she. After Yinzuo's death, the reason why he followed Concubine De's intention to have some doubts about the imperial concubine was because Concubine De had no relationship with Yinzhen, how could Yinzhen play with Yinzuo by the water

Now that he heard it, he was actually bewitched, since Concubine De had seen Yinzhen often in private, her behavior in front of him was all a way to invite favor. And in this way, the imperial concubine had no doubts about Yin Zuo's matter, and he had a lot of doubts in vain. He frowned, feeling that the beautiful image of Concubine De in his heart was getting darker and darker like ink, no different from other concubines.

He comforted Tong Jiawanxian a few words, and didn't want to say any more, so he casually asked Su Yuanyuan with a smile, "Since you like hairpins, why don't you want them from Concubine De, but from me? You reject Concubine De's wishes, She's not angry?"

Su Yuanyuan frowned, and said in confusion: "I want it too, but I don't dare. Cousin, I've been learning the rules these days, and the jewelry is also of high grade. Such a precious peony gold hairpin is also decorated with many rubies. Doesn’t it mean that I don’t understand the rules if I accept it? But it would be different if you gave it to me, my cousin is the emperor, so I can wear whatever you give me.”

If it was any other hairpin, Kangxi would definitely not have any impression of it, but this peony hairpin is different, Concubine De often wears it, and he even helped put it on and take it off with his own hands, so naturally he remembers it. Now when Su Yuanyuan mentioned her rank, his impression of Concubine De was much worse. He didn't pay attention to these things, when he doted on Concubine De, he rewarded a lot of things, it's not uncommon for concubines to take advantage of the emperor's favor and use some things that were beyond the rank, and he didn't care at all if it wasn't too serious.

But if Concubine De was really unambitious, gentle and kind, would she use those things? His eyes fell on Tong Jiawanxian, and he turned around the room again, all the items here are of the grade of imperial concubine, without any overstepping. The imperial concubine has been the highest authority in the harem these years. It is not impossible to use things that can only be used by empresses if she is a little careful, but it is obvious that the imperial concubine does not have such thoughts.

With the comparison, it seems that he used to have eyes but no pearls, mistook pearls for fish eyes, and he almost favored Concubine De only to make the harem useless, it is simply absurd!

The more angry Kangxi was in his heart, the more indifferent he became. He rewarded Su Yuanyuan with a lot of things that the little girl could use, and took an examination of Yinzhen, and then returned to Qianqing Palace under the pretext of reviewing the memorial.

Not long after that, I heard that the imperial physician had asked Concubine De for Ping'an's pulse to diagnose that her pulse condition was not good, and she wanted to rest and have an abortion. The emperor specially ordered others not to disturb her.

Concubine De was furious in Yonghe Palace, and couldn't figure out why Kangxi treated her like this. But he didn't know that the addition of little disappointments was enough to make Kangxi overthrow all his good feelings for her.

The concubine De was hit hard by her words, and Su Yuanyuan was very happy, but this also took advantage of the emperor's suspicion. It was temporarily impossible for Concubine De to completely lose power, and more charges were needed. She is not in a hurry, with Concubine De's personality, she will have to deal with them sooner or later.

Su Yuanyuan analyzed Kangxi from these few incidents. Obviously, Kangxi is a person who does not value love. With Shunzhi making troubles, he would not easily fall in love with the concubine. But what she wears is not history. Since Kangxi can be attracted by the illusion of Concubine De in the original text, it means that Kangxi is still looking forward to a pure and sincere relationship in his bones. If he wants to match Kangxi and Tong Jiawanxian, think more about Concubine De The illusion becomes.

Concubine De's appearance is very dominant. She is not as glamorous as Concubine Yi, which makes people remember at a glance, but her face shape and facial features are very attractive, and she has a three-point smile. She can be very gentle or dignified. It is very comfortable and very relaxing. Kangxi is busy all day long, and of course he prefers her to relax when he enters the harem.

And Defei has spiritual spring water, her body is healthy and her skin is tender and smooth, and her skin is well maintained. This is definitely an advantage. In addition, she would occasionally add some spiritual spring water to Kangxi's tea to make Kangxi feel comfortable, so Kangxi would go to her unconsciously.

After thinking about it, Su Yuanyuan felt that the most important thing right now is to save Tong Jiawanxian's life, as she only has one year to live. The first is to nourish the body, the second is to relieve the knots in the heart, and the third is to nourish the skin. To grasp the heart of an emperor, at least the appearance must first suppress people. Fortunately, Tong Jiawanxian is also Kangxi's favorite type. Her thin willow-leaf eyebrows, long and narrow red phoenix eyes, and thin cheeks make people want to be cared for.

If they were matched, she would solve two tasks at once, but if they were not suitable, she might have to bother with others. Su Yuanyuan was very excited when she told Yinzhen her plan. This was her first time as a matchmaker. Yinzhen rubbed her head, smiled dotingly and said: "You can do whatever you want, Empress Empress likes Huang Ama, and Huang Ama also wants a true relationship. If it can be achieved, it will be a good thing." one piece."

"Well, my aunt is so kind to me, and I want to help her too." After Su Yuanyuan finished her business, she remembered Concubine De's little gesture, and pinched Yinzhen's ear, "I warn you, what kind of Fujin, concubine, etc. , maids are not allowed to accept, and rewards are not allowed, you find a way to solve it yourself, otherwise you will look good!"

Yinzhen hurriedly rescued her ears and held her little hand, "You need to worry about such a trivial matter? I have already figured out a way."

"any solution?"

"Secret. Anyway, when the time comes, those people can solve it at once."

Su Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows, seeing that he was confident, she stopped asking, and said with a smile, "Then I'll wait for your surprise."

"rest assured."

The two of them didn't spend much time together in private, and when it was getting late, Su Yuanyuan sent Yinzhen outside Chengqian Palace, and did not return until he was far away. But as soon as she turned around, she heard many footsteps in the distance. It was Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi who brought the palace servants here, and even found a reason to stay a little longer.

Xiao Jiu saw her eyes lit up, "Eh? Aren't you the fourth brother's little cousin? What are you doing?"

Su Yuanyuan saluted, and said with a smile: "Brother Jiu, the servant just sent my cousin away and is about to go back."

"You and fourth brother have a very good relationship. I also have a cousin who is only one year older than me and much prettier than you."

Xiao Shi chuckled, "Isn't it much hotter? Brother Jiu, do you have bad eyesight? How can your cousin be as good-looking as this little cousin?"

Xiao Jiu pushed him angrily, and said in a low voice, "Are you stupid? Why do you praise Fourth Brother's cousin for being beautiful?"

"You're stupid, I'm telling the truth!"

Su Yuanyuan looked at the two brats with a smile, and laughed heartily. Education should start from the baby, can she do something first
