Concubine Wen Xi who traveled through time

Chapter 24: Dai Jia's Joy and Tong Jia's Disgrace

In the afternoon of this day, Wen Xi had just finished making the snacks to be sent to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and sent Wu Lushi and Song Er to deliver them.Dai Jiashi, concubine Cheng, brought the seventh elder brother over to thank her.

After saluting, Wen Xi hurriedly asked someone to move the embroidered pier for Dai Jiashi, and said, "I should send someone to tell you that you don't need to come to thank you. It's still hot outside, so it's not good to be exposed to the sun." .”

Dai Jia's actually looks pretty good, she is a very lucky face in this era, with rosy skin, full forehead, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, and a slightly rounded face, but her figure is a little thinner, presumably because she lost money after giving birth to seventh elder brother .Dai Jiashi spoke slowly, giving off a very gentle feeling, "The concubine should have come to thank the empress long ago, but there was a bit of wind yesterday, and I felt a little headache and uncomfortable, I'm afraid it will make the empress sick."

"I saw that elder brother Seven's face turned red, but it's hot? You're afraid that it won't be easy for you to hold it in your arms. Why don't you put it on the soft couch in the green gauze cupboard in this palace, and let the nursing mother fan you." Wen Wen Xi saw that Brother Seven was already wearing the soft satin she had given that day, it was a light yellow finely embroidered dress.The green gauze cupboard is on the west side, separated by two layers of gauze curtains and a layer of azure curtains after rain, but today only a layer of gold silk soft gauze dragon tents has fallen. Sitting in the main hall, you can see the inside by leaning slightly. situation.

Dai Jiashi agreed and handed over the child to the wet nurse.It was cool in the green gauze cupboard, and the soft couch was covered with an ivory mat, Seventh Prince seemed to be sleeping soundly.While the nursing mother was gently fanning the fan, Qinglan took out a thin quilt from the cabinet carved with dragons and phoenixes, and covered it over Seventh Elder Brother.

Wen Xi asked her to bring some fresh cakes, and taste them with Dai Jiashi. Dai Jiashi is not talkative, she just talks a few words from time to time.It's just that whenever Seventh Prince is mentioned, Wen Xi can see that Dai Jia's eyes are bright.

Dai Jiashi is wearing a suit of [-]% new buckskin color embroidered with clusters of blessings and longevity patterns today. She looks older than her actual age. The material of the clothes is only second-class palace satin. Because she has to go out, she only has two hairpins on her head. The bright silk flowers and red coral plum blossom hairpins are much lighter than ordinary concubines.With Dai Jiashi's demeanor and complexion, she would look much better in bright clothes. A woman in her early twenties must be a beauty if she is willing to dress herself up.

After chatting with each other for more than half an hour, suddenly there was a cry from inside.Dai Jiashi suddenly didn't care about etiquette, and ran in hastily.

The wet nurse was a little embarrassed and said: "Seventh elder brother peed."

When Dai Jia saw Wen Xi also came in, her son wet the imperial concubine's soft couch, she was really rude and ashamed, she should have known that Liu Yinyou was in Xianfu Palace.

Wen Xi said: "I should have brought a spare diaper, right? Elder Brother Qi is not comfortable being so wet." Seeing Elder Brother Seven who was waving his hands and kicking his legs in protest gesture, Wen Xi casually reminded.

Seeing that Wen Xi was not angry, Dai Jia breathed a sigh of relief, and hastily and familiarly picked up Seventh Brother. Sure enough, there was a puddle of wet boy's urine on the moon-white brocade quilt covered with piles of flowers and broken branches on the soft couch. .Dai Jiashi seemed to be used to changing his son's diapers, so he changed into a dry and fluffy cotton cloth after three times.During this time, Wen Xi saw Brother Seven's distorted left foot. Although it was wrapped in thick gauze and corrected with bamboo strips, it could still be seen to be in stark contrast to the other white and tender chubby foot.

Dai Jia seemed to see the gentle color stagnant on the seventh elder brother's foot, and couldn't help mourning for her son, "This is a folk method, and it is mixed with the ointment prepared by the imperial doctor. I heard that if it is corrected well , grow up and be able to walk without hindrance.”

Wen Xi knew that it was impolite to stare at his son's deformed feet all the time, so she said: "I have heard of this method, but it is said that it is better to use thin silk from Hangzhou, which is soft and tough, and will not harm the baby. Delicate skin."

Dai Jiashi suddenly showed a bit of trouble and embarrassment.

Wen Xi smiled immediately, and said: "This palace is just hearsay."

But the nurse couldn't help but said: "Imperial concubine, it's not that my mother doesn't believe you, but that Hangzhou fine silk is of high quality, more precious than ordinary palace satin, second only to Yunluo soft satin, but stronger than soft satin. Correcting the shape of the feet is of course a good thing! But Hangzhou Xiling who enters the palace every year is sent to the second palace, and there are not many left."

It seems so...Wen Xi remembered that he had only got one in the palace, and had asked someone to make a mattress a few days ago, so there were only some rags left. He turned to Ma Lang and said, "I remember my quilt." There seems to be Hangzhou Xiling in the dowry?"

Ma Lang thought for a while and said: "Yes, but it's not the most fashionable color, it's plain silk, not as bright and beautiful as colorful silk and flower silk, and I don't know where to use it, so I keep it in storage. "

"As many as are wrapped up, I will send someone to Changchun Palace later." Wen Xi said.

Dai Jiashi hastily declined and said: "A few days ago, I just received the empress's cloud satin, how can I want my empress's dowry?" Besides, Hang Xiling is usually used to make close-fitting clothes, who would be willing to use it to wrap feet?

Wen Xi smiled brightly and said: "I am the most impatient to be courteous to others. You just keep it, you can't let those thin silks stay in my warehouse and grow moldy and hairy?"

Dai Jia couldn't help being moved, "Thank you for your love, my concubine... on behalf of Seventh Brother, thank you for your care!"

Seeing that she was about to kneel down, Wen Xi hurried to help her up, "It's just a little effort, isn't it natural to use things where they should be used?"

"My concubine used to hear my sister Shen concubine say that my mother is generous and kind, and I am really convinced when I see you today!"

Wen Xi covered her mouth and said: "Concubine Shen only talks about this and scolds that in front of this palace. She has a bad mouth in front of others, but she is very virtuous in front of others!"

Dai Jia also smiled gently, as if she was very familiar with Concubine Shen, "Sister Concubine Shen has always talked about every door, and often offended people, that is to say, the empress can accept her."

"Okay," Wen Xi said with a bright smile, "we smell the boy's urine all over the room, and the more we talk, the more excited we are!"

Dai Jiashi suddenly thought of the boy peeing on the soft couch, "I'm really sorry, Ma'am..."

"It's nothing, just let the people below clean it up!" Wen Xi took the opportunity to poke the white and tender face of the "culprit" with a "toothless" smile, and Seventh Brother giggled.

When Dai Jiashi left, Ma Lang Ashi had to ask four or five young eunuchs to follow her to the Changchun Palace because there were eleven silk silks that were collected from the storeroom.Dai Jiashi was very grateful, and when she got excited, she lost her usual peaceful appearance.Fortunately, the little guy didn't pee in his bed, otherwise he would have no place to sleep when Kangxi came.

As soon as Dai Jia left, Wu Lu and Song Er came back from the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Master, you don't know that Concubine Tong Gui has lost a lot of face today!" Song'er seemed to have opened up the chatterbox as soon as she came back.

"What happened to Concubine Tong?" Wen Xi also asked curiously.

Song'er laughed and said: "The slave and Aunt Wu went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to deliver snacks, and just happened to meet Concubine Tong Gui who was also delivering snacks, but Eunuch Liang stopped him outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Wu Lushi and Song'er originally only wanted to send snacks back early, and didn't want to have a dispute with Tong Jiashi.It may be that Tong Jia saw the two servants giving things, but Liang Jiugong politely passed them in, but she said that she had to consult Kangxi before deciding on the dim sum.

Seeing that Wu Lushi and Song'er were both from Chengqian Palace, Tong Jia couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Why didn't your master come to see you off in person, but instead sent a random servant here? But you didn't take the emperor seriously? "

After being scolded, Wu Lu's face remained unchanged, and after saluting respectfully, he said: "Go back to the imperial concubine, my mother said that the important place of the Hall of Mental Cultivation is within the scope of the previous dynasty, and she should avoid suspicion as soon as she is a queen. The ancestral concubines are not allowed to do politics, and the empress said that you should be careful of melon fields and plums!"

The words are respectful, and there is no fault in the slightest, which contrasts with Concubine Tong's fault.Concubine Tong's face turned red and purple immediately, and she wanted to have a fit but didn't dare to act presumptuously in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Her face changed several times, but she finally pressed down to stop her attack. ?”

At this time, Song'er said in a crisp voice: "My mother said, I will take the food box back when the emperor finishes eating. In case there is no food box to deliver tomorrow."

What she said was clearly stating the facts, but Concubine Tong thought that Chengqian Palace was able to deliver snacks every day, so she took the opportunity to ridicule her!

But at this time, Liang Jiugong came out with a food box and replied, "I'm sorry, my lord, the emperor is full, please go back."

Liang Jiugong's words were tantamount to adding fuel to the flames. Concubine Tong didn't give him face on the spot, and directly reprimanded: "You dog slave, don't talk nonsense! Such a small food box, only two or three kinds of snacks, the emperor never eats more than three , just eat a few bites, how can it be enough?!"

Liang Jiugong straightened his waist, and it was the first time that he was called a dog slave in front of so many people. If the emperor and the two palaces said this, he would have to accept it. Concubine Tong Guifei said that he would not accept it obediently, and spoke coldly After a lot, she no longer was as polite as before, and raised her voice: "My lord doesn't know something. Concubine Wen Xi knows that the emperor has a rule of not eating more than three, so she ingeniously made each piece of pastry big! A piece of fish cake is as big as a fist." Big, a piece of jujube cake is bigger than an inkstone, today the emperor ate a total of four pieces and he is already very full! If you don’t believe me, take a look——" Liang Jiugong opened the food box, and there was still a piece of bright color inside. Yellow, fish cakes that were bigger than a fist, and the other stack of jujube cakes, only some brown-red dregs left.

The eunuchs and guards present couldn't help laughing at every opportunity, Concubine Tong's face turned green, she flung her sleeves and ran away, stepped on a small stone outside the hall, staggered and almost fell down.

Immediately, unprecedented laughter erupted outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, so festive!
