Chapter 13
Concubine Tong heard about Ji Lan sleeping in the East Nuan Pavilion as soon as she entered the Palace of Compassion.

Xiao Zhuang just wanted to make her unhappy, so that the people below would pass it on particularly vividly.

Thinking of her cousin's more and more perfunctory calls lately, Tong Jiayixian was so angry and ashamed that she almost turned around and returned to Qiangong.

It's a pity that Aunt Su Ma has already greeted her in person, it's too late.

"Greetings to the imperial concubine and empress."

"Su Ma's mother is polite. I am late, please come here in person."

"The imperial concubine came just in time, why is it late. I also happened to come out to have a look at the order of the empress dowager, just by the way."

The two then went to the main hall with many eunuchs and maids after greeting.

Tong Jiayixian observed coldly, except for the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, everyone else had arrived.

Concubine Rong led the second princess, and Guo Guiren led the fourth princess. The noble concubine and Bu nobleman said they were sick and did not come, and the third princess sat alone at the bottom.

The seat above is naturally the emperor, with a cold face, but he is not angry.

No, where did the eldest princess go?

She was about to ask in doubt, when she saw the Empress Dowager holding the hand of the Eldest Princess, and came out of the inner room together with the Empress Dowager.

It could be said that they greeted each other for a long time according to the rules, and then sat down again.

Xiaozhuang still wore his usual attire, most of his snow-white hair was combed into a bun, and he was dressed in plain uniforms. He only added a few emerald hairpins on his hair, and greeted them cordially.

"It's a family banquet today, I specially called Princess Gege, and their birth mothers are here to accompany them, they are all female relatives, so don't be restrained. I'm old, I won't be able to see you off tomorrow morning, if I'm lazy, the emperor won't bother me, right? "

Kangxi hurriedly stood up from his seat and confessed.

"What the empress dowager said made my grandson very ashamed."

"Sit down, sit down. You said it was a family banquet. Look at your appearance. It was better when you were young. My Dongnuang Pavilion was almost asked to be demolished by you. You are used to being naughty. Unfortunately, when you grow up, you will do it The Qing Palace is now in residence. Grandmother sometimes misses you, so she still goes to see her."

Thinking of Dongnuange's childhood decoration, and Jilan's considerate service, Kangxi's heart is also warm.

"The empress dowager loves her grandson the most."

"Of course. Even if you have to be aggrieved because you get in the way of the rules for a while, you will definitely be satisfied in the future."

After Xiaozhuang finished speaking, he took the lead and moved his chopsticks, and everyone dared to take two symbolic bites.

Haifeng really doesn't like this kind of unreal 'banquet', it's better to have some snacks, at least he's very hungry.

"Su Mo'er, move the bland dishes in front of me to Mrs. Guo. She is pregnant and has a poor appetite."

Just as Ji Lan was about to stand up and thank him, Sai Lun held him down from behind.

Xiaozhuang's eyes were full of smiles, just like an ordinary old lady from a wealthy family, chattering away.

"Four months, right? I didn't want to work for you, but this man is old, and he likes to see his family's heirs flourish. You need to take good care of it, bloom first, and bear fruit later. Try to add an elder brother to the emperor this time."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Haifeng from the corner of his eye.

Unexpectedly, there is still my role.

Hai Feng then jumped off the chair and ran to Xiao Zhuang's side a few times, acting like a baby in a childish voice.

"Great-grandmother has a little brother, don't forget about Niuniu."

"Who said you were forgotten, don't be petty. Didn't Su Mo'er teach you these days?"

"Su Ma's mother said that siblings are in harmony, and brothers and sisters are respectful. But I am a sister, so I don't count as an elder brother."

"Troubleshooting and making unreasonable words."

Xiaozhuang's mouth was full of criticism, and he smiled kindly, and everyone present hurriedly followed suit.

Kangxi also had a step up, and turned around and ordered Liang Jiugong to send some medicinal materials to Guo Guiren for abortion.

The matter of prostitution in the daytime, is this considered a turning point?

Tong Jiayixian was under the table, twisting a good ropa into rags.

Isn't it because she dislikes that she can't give birth to an elder brother?

Among the concubines present, she is the only one who has no children.

It's better to be a noble concubine, because of the deep foundation of Niu Gulu's family, the empress dowager can even pretend to be sick at the banquet.

Moreover, she has ten elder brothers.

Even if he came, he was the one who was praised.

Yixian felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, and quickly picked up a chopstick of dried shrimps to cover it up.

After finally finishing the meal, the Empress Dowager dragged her to play leaf cards again, and she didn't let her go until it was time to light the lanterns.

And the emperor actually rested in the East Nuan Pavilion of the Compassionate Ning Palace!

Today is the eve of the northern tour, a big day, my cousin should come to Chengqian Palace!
In this way, wouldn't it be cheaper for that bitch!

Concubine Tong couldn't pretend anymore, so she hastily knelt down and resigned.

In Chengqian Palace, her wet nurse, Nanny Tong, got the letter early, and she was so angry that she quickly asked all the palace people to stand up, and personally welcomed Concubine Tong Huanggui into the bedroom.

As soon as the door was closed, Yi Xian burst into tears.

Nanny Tong quickly persuaded.

"Master, you can't cry. Tomorrow morning you have to bring the concubines to send the emperor on a tour of the north! If the emperor sees this..."

"You can see it when you see it, I'm not afraid!"

"Oh, Fujin is afraid that you won't be able to hold your breath, and will come in every day. You sit down first and drink a bowl of bird's nest Shun Shun Qi. I'm afraid it's because you haven't eaten seriously for a day."

Yixian stared at the bowl of supplements, and was about to throw it on the ground after taking it.

"What do you think I am, the accountant in the palace! I have no favors, no dignity, and I am not allowed to talk about the princess's marriage. This imperial concubine might as well be improper!"

Nanny Tong desperately snatched down the bowl, for fear of being heard outside.

"Your Majesty, so you have faith in the matter of the Second Princess?"

The Tong family has been working on this matter for several days, but they dare not delay.

Yixian slowly leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, staring at the candlelight in a trance.

"When I was playing cards, when I just started, the Empress Dowager avoided the conversation, making it clear that she didn't intend to discuss it with me. Tell Ama to go back to Duling County King, and put it away."

The name of Tong's family is Tong Banchao, but it has been a matter of 20 years since the emperor ascended the throne to promote his mother's family.

Those old Eight Banners nobles with military exploits looked down on them openly and secretly.

This time Karaqin took the initiative to make friends, and Ama also thought it was a good opportunity, and it would be good to catch up with Mongolia.

Who knows that this matter is much more difficult than imagined.

"This, how could it be. Uncle Guo is also the same, and he can't get a word of it in front of the emperor. It stands to reason that if you want to give it to Harqin, don't you pass it on for a year or two?"

"Probably because Concubine Rong is unwilling. She has a big heart. She has a crush on Uergon, the grandson of Princess Shuhui's family, and wants to marry the second princess to Bahrain. As Enie, she always hopes that her daughter will eat less from her mother-in-law. Bitter. It's a pity that the empress dowager looks down on the second princess as her great-grandson's wife, and she dislikes the second princess for her temper, and she will not let go of the concubine Rong's flattery."

The more Tong Nanny listened, the more she felt something was wrong.

"In Mongolia, there is no more suitable candidate for Princess Shang. The emperor and the empress dowager..."

Haifeng has some clues about Chengqian Palace's question that he didn't even know about.

The answer lies in those big characters.
