Concubine Wen Xi who traveled through time

At the end of November in the 22nd year of Kangxi, there were snowflakes flying in the sky, and it was really not a good day for Huiluan.All concubines and concubines have to welcome the return of the Big Three outside the Taihe Gate in a snowy day.

Wen Xi stood at the head of the concubines, holding a small oval heater with gold enamel and phoenix pattern in his hand, letting the hot air slowly leak out through the hollow.She was wearing a snow-white sable fur cloak, and it was hard to notice the snow-white snow. Song'er stood behind Wen Xi, and used a silk handkerchief to help Wen Xi remove the snow from time to time.The third wave of reports has already come, Kangxi has already entered Beijing, and it is estimated that it will take another hour to reach the Gate of Supreme Harmony.

The concubines have been waiting for more than half an hour, and some of them are wearing thin clothes, their faces are blue from the cold, and they can only rely on the stove in their hands to keep warm.

Concubine Yi suddenly said, "Why isn't Concubine Tong Gui here today?"

Concubine Hui, who was standing on the left side of Concubine Yi, couldn't help but sneered and said, "It's all like that. If it were me, I would have no face!" up!

It wasn't that Tong Jiashi didn't want to come, why didn't she want to meet Kangxi early so that she could tell the grievances in her heart and sue Concubine De by the way.It was Wen Xi who secretly instructed Gu Chengzong to add a pillow for sleeping to Tong Jia's daily medicine, so she didn't come.It has always been a big event to greet the driver, and it would be disrespectful to the emperor if he didn't come, unless it was a concubine who couldn't get out of bed, other concubines with long legs came, including Guo Shi with a big belly.Even the second princess Rongfei, the third princess Guo, the third elder brother Yinzhi, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, and the fifth elder brother Yinqi are all here!

Concubine Shen smiled and said with a gold-painted hand stove in her hand: "I have heard that the porcelain in Jingren Palace has been changed seven or eight times this month! The bronze mirror is not kept. Not to mention that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not allowed to give it away. I don't know Concubine Tong Gui She doesn't even dare to look at what the empress's face has become!" As she spoke, she glanced at the fourth elder brother who was standing alone, and the other elder brothers and princesses followed her, except her adoptive mother. Come, not close to the birth mother, standing alone in the wind and snow, alone.

Concubine Yi said with a smile in her resentful tone, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has spent a lot of money. We are going to apologize to the emperor later!"

Wen Xi also Shi Shiran said: "After the emperor left, so many messy things happened in the palace, it is indeed necessary to repay the emperor, especially the matter of Concubine De."

Concubine Yi looked at Wu Yashi who was wearing a veil, her body was thin and her belt was getting wider, with a sympathetic look on her face, she said: "You must let the emperor decide for Defei's younger sister! Concubine De is really pitiful, not only did she not Got a baby??? I heard that face also—"

Concubine De hastily coughed twice.Said: "The younger sister is just sick and disabled, and she will be raised in the future."

"Really?" Concubine Yi raised her eyebrows, apparently not believing it, "But I seem to have heard that De Concubine's younger sister's appearance is similar to that of Concubine Tong Gui."

Concubine De was wearing a thick fox fur cloak, holding a stove tightly in her hand.She bowed her head and said: "It's just rumors, not enough to believe." Concubine De was also closed in Yonghe Palace and no one would go out.Today, when he came out to greet the driver, he was also covered with a veil, Wu Ya lowered his head and coughed twice, and said: "It's just that I caught the wind and cold, and I was afraid that it would infect my sisters, so I used the veil."

Concubine Yi pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Concubine De is indeed as virtuous as ever!"

"Sister Yifei has won the prize."

Waiting for people in a snowy day is really tormenting, especially some low-status nobles, often present, and promised.They were all shivering with cold.Wen Xi then said: "When I came out, I saw that it was really cold. So I asked someone to carry a basket of red charcoal and put it in the duty room west of the Taihe Gate. If everyone didn't mind, I asked the servants to go Add a few pieces of charcoal, it will be warm in your hand."

In a word, those low-ranking concubines are the most moved. Their hand stoves are full of bamboo charcoal, which will not be warm in an hour, and it is not as warm as red bamboo charcoal for a long time.One by one hurriedly thanked Wen Xi, and asked the attendant maids to add charcoal.It is extremely lucky to be like Song Guiren. Concubine Cheng saw that it was not easy for her to raise the princess, so she often mixed her own red bamboo charcoal for her to use as a hand stove.

I used red bamboo charcoal to fill the stove, and my hands and body were warmed up, so I didn't feel uncomfortable waiting for others.Soon, I saw a large piece of bright yellow canopy, red canopy, and flags in the distance, connected into one piece, mighty and mighty, it was the Emperor Kangxi who was approaching!

The concubines hurriedly stood up, with Wen Xi at the head, Huifei Nala, Yifei Guoluoluo, Rongfei Majia, Defei Wuya, and Chengfei Daijia in the second row. It's concubine Shen Hesheli, concubine Wanliu Hashi, concubine An Li. Concubine Jia was sick in bed and never came. The fourth and fifth rows at the back are the nobles. They often promise that at the end, this group There is more than one company of concubines to greet the team, and it looks very huge!

"Concubines, concubines, concubines, concubines, welcome the emperor, welcome the empress dowager, welcome the empress dowager, long live the emperor! May the empress dowager be safe, and the empress dowager be blessed and safe!" All the concubines knelt on the snow to greet them.

Kangxi strode forward, personally helped Wen Xi, who was the leader, and stroked Wen Xi's still warm shou, he whispered: "Fortunately, I didn't freeze you." Then he raised his voice: "Everyone Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Thank you in unison.

Concubine Yi smiled and said: "Thanks to the carefulness of the imperial concubine, she asked someone to prepare red bamboo charcoal in advance, so the sisters did not suffer from the cold!"

Concubine Xuan supported the Empress Dowager, Aunt Su Mala supported the Empress Dowager, and the two old ladies went out for a tour of the north, but they didn't see the hardships of the wind and frost, maybe because they returned to their hometown, they were in good spirits.However, the absence of Tumen Baoyin made Wen Xi feel a little suspicious.

Wen Xi smiled and blessed her body, and said: "It's snowing today, and it's very cold. The empress dowager and the empress dowager are honorable, so hurry up and drive back to the palace. Concubine Yi has already asked people to transfer the compassionate palace and the empress dowager to the palace." The Shou Palace is already heated up, just waiting for the master to go back!"

The Empress Dowager nodded and praised Concubine Yi in Manchu, Concubine Yi stepped forward to help the old man into the sedan chair with Concubine Xuan on the left and right.Wen Xi stepped forward to help Xiaozhuang board her Fengluan sedan chair.When welcoming them, the concubines tacitly did not mention Tong Jiashi.Although this matter was reported to the Big Three who were far away in the Mongolian grasslands early on, it was a happy event to return to Luan.Unlucky things should never be said.

Cining Palace.

Kangxi did not go back to Qianqing Palace, but accompanied the Empress Dowager directly to the Palace of Compassion, and immediately summoned Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui, and Concubine Yi who were in charge of the affairs of the harem. It is unknown what Wen Xi said.But after the three concubines were summoned that day, Ling Pu, the head of the House of Internal Affairs, the chief eunuch in charge of the Baohua Palace, and several lamas were summoned, and then Chen Gong, the chief eunuch of the Yonghe Palace, was summoned.

Wen Xi was in Chengqian Palace, but she was able to inquire about who was summoned.Xiao Luzi came running quickly, knelt down and said: "Master, the emperor has gone to Yonghe Palace."

"It's expected." Since Chen Gong was passed on—he is the concubine's confidant eunuch, and he will inevitably describe the grievances that Concubine Wu Ya suffered vividly, Kangxi naturally wants to appease the victim as soon as possible.

The next day, all the concubines and concubines went to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to pay their respects.Originally, today is not the tenth day of the fifth day, but there was an order from the Empress Dowager early in the morning, and everyone hurried to go.Concubine Tong is still the future today, and the empress dowager did not summon the Yongshou Palace at all.

"May the Empress Dowager be blessed and safe!" The concubines kowtowed in unison.But today Xiaozhuang didn't cry.

The Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang used to wear ordinary home clothes, but today she changed into grand and dignified auspicious clothes, wearing a smoked sable crown with red cap wefts, decorated with golden phoenix, and the top part has three layers.There are three layers of golden phoenixes and five elements of pearls.A total of 320 pieces.At the back is a turquoise knot with a gold title, the penetrating beads are drooping, and the five elements are three.There are three knives and six holes in the ears, and three pairs of golden dragons holding the first-class east beads, which make the face look not angry and majestic.

Xiaozhuang is wearing a court gown embroidered with sapphire blue satin with colorful clouds and golden dragons. The collar and sleeves are stone blue, and there are two dragon flowers on the front and back.The vertical water pattern on the lower panel also has eight treasures, which is called eight treasures standing water.There are three strings of court beads on the neck.Among them, two strings of coral beads cross left and right, which is extremely luxurious and solemn, like a Buddha statue in a temple, unsmiling.

With a solemn face, Xiao Zhuang glanced at the concubines kneeling below, without saying a word, but made countless people dare not even breathe.Wen Xi was at the forefront, so naturally she felt the majesty of Xiaozhuang even more, rushing towards her back, making people break out in a cold sweat.

After a long time, Xiao Zhuang calmed down and said in a solemn voice: "The days when Ai's family is not in the palace, I think you are too loose to make so many unseemly things!"

"The concubines (concubines) are guilty, the empress dowager please come down!" The concubines pleaded guilty in unison.

Xiao Zhuang's face remained solemn, and he said angrily: "Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi, Concubine Rong, you three have been assisting the palace affairs for some time. Although it is not thorough, there would not be any major mistakes, but It's only been a month since Ai's family left the palace, yet so many unseemly things happened! Is that why you guys are so reasonable?!"

Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi, and Concubine Rong hurriedly kowtowed at Xiaozhuang's stern questioning, "The empress dowager calm down!"

Xiaozhuang snorted coldly, looked majestically at the concubines kneeling below, and said: "Rumors abound in this palace, and the fire in Baohua Palace is purely due to the dereliction of duty by the chief eunuch! You don't go to refute the rumors, but let the rumors stir up trouble. It’s so uproarious that everyone outside the palace knows it! The face of the royal family has been thrown in by you!”

"The concubine is dead!" The three concubines knocked heavily on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

Xiaozhuang sighed, his brows were deeply furrowed, and his old voice was even more majestic: "You are still young, so it is inevitable that you have not handled things well! The Ai family has ordered all the eunuchs and maids of Baohua Palace to be killed! Anyone who dares to speak in private Anyone who says anything filthy about God's wrath, will be executed with a stick!!"

"The Empress Dowager is wise!" The concubines kowtowed in unison, feeling chills in their hearts. The Baohua Palace is a large area, and there are no less than a hundred eunuchs and maids. Now it is not about to stain the palace with blood!The incident of divine punishment was caused by Wen Xi, and the three concubines also contributed to it, which made the trouble so big.Xiao Zhuang took a dose of ruthless medicine, and it would definitely have immediate results.

Xiaozhuang finally recovered some of his usual kindness and said, "Get up."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Wen Xi caressed her knees, and managed to get up. After kneeling for so long, her knees were already numb!

Xiao Zhuang looked at Wen Xi with an inquisitive expression on his face: "This is not the first time that Baohua Palace has seen water in the palace. Wen Xi also almost burned in the Imperial Garden. I wonder if it was man-made or an accident?"

Wen Xi hurriedly said: "Naturally it was an accident. It was all due to my concubine's fault, and she went into the phoenix forest by herself in a moment of negligence. It's just that in the phoenix forest, the eunuch from some palace kept the fire alive at night. It will lead to the disaster of returning home." After a lie, he uttered it without blushing.The matter of the Indus Forest could only be an accident, because only by accident, she would not have the motive to set fire to Baohua Palace!

Xiaozhuang smiled gently, and the solemn expression that intimidated everyone was no longer on his face, "You are young, so it is inevitable that you are not careful, just pay attention in the future, no matter where you are, you can't be alone!" If there is no interest, she will naturally turn a blind eye.

"Thank you Empress Dowager for your care, and my concubines will keep it in mind!" Wen Xi breathed a sigh of relief, no matter whether Xiao Zhuang believed it or not, as long as he didn't get to the bottom of it.

Xiao Zhuang glanced at the fifth concubine again, and landed on Concubine De who was wearing a veil, and said, "Is Concubine De okay?"

Wu Ya's blessed body, said softly: "Thank you for the empress dowager's concern, the concubine is no longer a problem. It's just that the concubine's fortune is not good, and he failed to keep the emperor's heir in his womb! The concubine is guilty!" tears.

Xiao Zhuang said with a cold face: "Tong Jia's murder of the emperor's heir was cruel and merciless, and the crime was unforgivable. The emperor will naturally end her! You can rest assured!" There was a cold killing intent in the words. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
