In February of the 29th year of Kangxi, Wenxi wore a winter dragon robe with a winter auspicious costume crown, a sea dragon leather hat brim, a crown with east beads, and a leather collar with golden satin embroidered with clouds and golden dragons. Kangxi took it back to the Forbidden City in person.

Outside the Supreme Harmony Gate, all the princes above the tenth prince, the princesses above the fifth princess Qi Buchen, and all the concubines above the nobleman are here to welcome them.Naturally, logically, when Wen Xi returned to the palace, he shouldn't have such a kneeling welcome, but he also went with Kangxi, this is the etiquette for welcoming the emperor.

In February, the weather was a bit cold, and the concubines were getting older, especially the fourth concubine. Many newcomers had been added to the nobles. The princes had grown taller, but they could still see their original appearance.With a faint smile on her face, Wen Xi took half a step to follow Kangxi and stepped down from Emperor Luanyu.

Kangxi said something about peace, and the prince, princess, and concubines all got up, and Kangxi raised his voice: "The former imperial concubine mourned too much because of the death of the empress dowager, and she spent four years in the palace to recuperate. Now she has recovered, and she should welcome back to the palace! The canonization ceremony will be officially held on the fifth day of next month."

The weather was fine, and the golden clouds above the Jinyue shone brightly in the sun, blowing and dancing the bright yellow ribbons on the Jinyue.Wen Xi just smiled without saying a word, and Yu Ludai followed her quietly.

After Kangxi finished his admonition, he turned his head and said: "Now that I have returned to the palace, I will go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay my respects to the Queen Mother later."

Wen Xi nodded and said: "Remember, my concubine." As he spoke, his eyes fell on the sons in the row of Kangxi. The leader was naturally the crown prince, not the elder brother who lived in the house. The elder brothers in the row behind, from one to Ten, there is a total of nine people missing the sixth elder brother who died young.

Wen Xi's eyes fell on the concubine Dai Jiashi, who seemed to be a little older.It is also common sense, and said with a smile: "I heard from the emperor that the seventh brother can walk without hindrance, it seems that it is the concubine Cheng who has taken good care of him for many years."

Concubine Cheng nodded with a smile, "It all depends on the blessing of the imperial concubine."

Wen Xi looked at the crown prince who was the head of the princes. He was wearing a smoked sable crown, embellished with Zhu Wei, three layers of dragons on top, and thirteen east beads.On the top is a ruby, inside the red gauze silk, there are pieces of azurite with golden edges.

The prince is wearing a golden five-clawed emerald eight-regiment dragon suit, which is only one less than Kangxi's nine-regiment dragon.Both the collar and the skirt are made of sable, and the sleeves are made of smoked mink.The front and back of the embroidered text are one dragon each, and the folds are six dragons.There are five-color clouds in the middle, and the eight-treasure level water in the lower panel.A string of Eastern Pearl Chaozhu is different from the coral or beeswax Chaozhu of the princes.It's just that today only the prince wears auspicious clothes, and the other elder brothers wear regular clothes.Concubines and concubines greet each other in auspicious clothes.

Yinfeng is only seventeen years old, and his height is no different than that of an adult. Wenxi can only be as tall as an adult by stepping on the bottom of a three-inch flower pot.Wen Xi smiled slightly and said, "The prince is very different from the past."

Yinfeng smiled, bowed his head slightly and said, "Your mother is well."

Wen Xiruo has the status of a noble concubine.It is necessary to return the gift to the crown prince, if it is an imperial concubine, she can accept it safely.Wen Xi nodded slightly to repay half the gift, and said slowly: "Prince, are you all right?"

"My son is fine." Yinfeng said.

son? !Wen Xi was really depressed when she heard that, after all, she was only a few years older than Yinfeng.The prince is seventeen, she is 24 years old.Only seven years older than him.But he had to recognize this "son", "I heard the emperor said that the bottom of the prince's book is getting longer, can I write a few words for me?"

Yinreng was taken aback, unable to figure it out for a while, and said, "I wonder what word Guieriang wants?"

Wen Xi smiled and said: "In Dong Qichang's script, there are four characters in the book 'Blood is thicker than water'. One is for the emperor, one is for the palace, and the last one is for the prince to keep. You must keep it in your heart."

Yinfeng's heart suddenly bulged, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "Son, remember."

The corner of Wen Xi's mouth slightly raised a faint smile, "I hope..." Fu returned to Kangxi's side, leaned slightly and said, "If the emperor doesn't want to go to the court first, the concubine will go now." Kowtow to the Empress Dowager."

Kangxi hummed, and then started again.

Wen Xi did not directly return to the Qian Palace, but transferred to the Compassion Palace, showing enough respect.Although Wen Xi doesn't like to kowtow to others, but the empress dowager's seniority is there, Kangxi will kowtow to pay her respects, let alone her?Anyway, they are all old ladies, so let's just kowtow to their own mother.Since they hadn't seen each other for a few years, they bowed three times and kowtowed nine times. Yu Ludai also followed Wen Xi, saluting on the futon in an orderly manner.

After the ceremony, the Empress Dowager asked Wen Xi to get up and sit down very kindly in Manchu.

The Queen Mother resolutely didn't mention the matter of course, but just kept talking about how painful Yuludai was, as if she had forgotten who threw her golden retriever into the water and almost drowned.

"Since you're back, Aijia can rest!" The Empress Dowager smiled kindly, and ordered someone to bring the Phoenix Seal and the Zhonggong Note to Wen Xi.

Wen Xi was really taken aback, although it was fine for the imperial concubine to take the palace note in the palm of her hand, but with the queen mother around, as long as she didn't want to call out, Wen Xi couldn't get involved.The Empress Dowager was suddenly so magnanimous that Wen Xi was taken aback, the Zhonggong Notes were all down, and even the Phoenix Seal was brought out together.As usual, Wen Xi hurriedly stood up and refused, but she refused to accept it.

The queen mother said: "The Ai family has agreed with the emperor, you can take it with peace of mind. The Ai family is getting old, and Concubine Xuan still needs more care from you."

Wen Xi immediately thought of the fact that the thirteenth elder brother belonged to Concubine Xuan, Kangxi must have taken the opportunity to blackmail, but the Queen Mother is willing to make such a concession for Concubine Xuan? !Wen Xi was really taken aback, and immediately said: "The elder dare not resign, it's just that the concubine is in charge of the palace note, and the concubine of Fengyin absolutely dare not get involved, please take it back with the Queen Mother."

Wen Xi was resolute, so the Empress Dowager followed suit to accept it. In fact, the Empress Dowager Seal was no less than the Phoenix Seal, but the Phoenix Seal was required to control the six palaces, at least the Imperial Concubine's Gold Seal, and the Empress Dowager Seal was rarely used.Although it was no more than a rubber stamp, the Queen Mother finally found a little comfort.

Wen Xi said again: "The concubine has never controlled the harem, so there are many shortcomings. There is one more thing I need to ask the Queen Mother: Since the concubine is in charge of the palace, should the concubine have full power to dispose of this thing?"

For a moment, the queen mother thought that Wen Xi was going to use this to control the concubine's bedtime, so she nodded and said: "Of course, since I gave it to you, I can use it as you like."

Please be safe before returning to Chengqian Palace.

Chengqian Palace is a courtyard with two entrances, the main entrance faces south, and the gate is named Chengqian Gate.The main hall in the front yard is Chengqian Palace, with five rooms wide, yellow glazed tiles and a mountain-style roof, and five animals are placed in the corners of the eaves.It is more luxurious than before, and the current Chengqian Palace is probably the most gorgeous place among the six palaces in the east and west.

The new chief eunuch of Chengqian Palace is Xiao Luzi, whose surname is Lu, and the deputy chief eunuch is Mo Changen, who is now serving by Yuludai's side.Xiao Luzi brought the eunuchs, maids, and mothers of the Hegong Palace to bow down and greet them at Chengqian Gate, "The slaves welcome the imperial concubine back to the palace!"

Wen Xi only hummed lightly, and called them to flatten, Xiaoluzi smiled and hurriedly came up to support Wen Xi, "Look, master, the Chengqian Palace has been renovated, but it is the most beautiful place in the harem! The emperor specially ordered the flower room Transplanted magnolia and crabapple, plus the original peonies, it is the meaning of 'Yutang Fugui'!"

The magnolia is tall and straight, more than one foot high, the tree is strong, majestic and majestic, the growth is strong, the nodes are long and the branches are sparse, and the magnolia blooms first and then leaves.Although the branches and leaves are bare now, buds have sprouted, and Wen Xi can already look forward to the scent of magnolia flowers entering the palace, so she casually asked, "Is it a magnolia?"

Xiao Luzi smiled and said: "Master, it is purple sand magnolia. The flower is light purple in color and white inside, so it is also called Erqiao Magnolia! This flower has nine petals and three layers. In full bloom, it must look good!"

Wen Xi nodded. In fact, she prefers Magnolia. It is a naturally beautiful flower, like clouds and snow, and its fragrance is like orchids. The refreshing fragrance is also more pure; the shape of the flower is like a lotus, and when it blooms, the petals spread out in all directions, elegant and graceful ; The flower color is like suet white jade, and it is very clean.

However, for the wealthy place in the palace, Er Qiao Yulan is naturally more suitable for the occasion.

Pulling Yuludai's small hand, he entered the main hall. The floor was made of square bricks, the ceiling was painted with double phoenixes, and all the furniture was newly built. The fragrance of dew lotus was burning in the smoker of the red gold seven-story pagoda. His armor was on the desk.He still returned to Chengqian Palace, but at least he went out to play for a while, so it wasn't too much of a loss in this life.

Wen Xi was very tired, and the auspicious crown on her head was too heavy, and when she wore it all the way from the Xinggong Palace to Chengqian Palace, her head almost crooked.Just about to go to the dormitory to lie down and rest, the eunuch outside came to report that the fourth elder brother and the tenth elder brother had come to pay their respects.

As a rule, both of them don't have to come.The fourth elder brother only lived in Chengqian Palace for one year, and the tenth elder brother is similar. They all have their own biological mothers on the jade certificate, and Wen Xi, who is not even half a mother, does not need to come to pay her respects.But now that I'm here, I can only see you.Wen Xi hasn't met Elder Brother Ten yet.

The fourth elder brother is the same as that day, and his figure seems to be a little taller.What caught the reviewer's attention even more was the round "object" on the back of the fourth elder brother's butt - please forgive Wen Xi for using the word "object" to describe it, it is already very polite not to mention "ball"!

"Son, pay respects to Erniang!" The fourth elder brother pulled off the horseshoe sleeves and knelt down to pay respects.

"My son also pays respects to Erniang!" The fat man in the back knelt down like a piggy brother, and when he knelt down, he became more like a huge sphere!Yu Ludai said that Elder Brother Ten is fatter than giant pandas, which is really too polite!

Wen Xi slightly covered her lips, held back her smile, and said in a gentle voice, "Get up."

The fourth elder brother got up, looked at the fat man behind him who had to put his hands on the ground to get up, couldn't help but frowned slightly, turned his head away from the shameful younger brother, "On the way my son came to pay his respects to Er Niang, I met the tenth brother , so he came after his son."

Brother Ten snorted and said, "It's Brother Four who walked too fast! I can only run after him!"

Wen Xi imagined the appearance of a spherical object following the fourth elder brother, and thought it was funny no matter what, but she still held back her laughter and struggled to maintain her demeanor, and said with a smile: "You brothers are friendly, I am very happy to see it.
