Jingyang Palace.

As soon as Wen Xi arrived, she saw the eunuchs and maids in the East Side Hall busy moving things, such as the dressing table made of yellow rosewood, the incense table made of golden nanmu, the eight immortals desk case painted red, and the exquisite porcelain enamel. It was like moving house!Wen Xi glanced at Concubine Xuan with some doubts, Concubine Xuan said indifferently: "Guo Guiren is going to move to Yongshou Palace and live with Concubine Duan." Co-authoring, it really is a move!Is the Guo family moving out with great fanfare because they are afraid that others will not know?I'm not afraid of making Concubine Xuan unhappy!

Wen Xi frowned, and thought: Guo Guiren and Concubine Duan fell in love with sisters again so soon!There were few people living in Jingyang Palace, so after Guo Guiren left, it might be even quieter.

Concubine Xuan carefully invited Wen Xi into the main hall, had tea and snacks, and asked someone to take out an exquisite yellow rosewood box inlaid with tortoiseshell. Inside was a woman's jacket and skirt: the upper body was pea green Collared short jacket, embroidered with exquisite folded branches of pink camellia, the petals are layered and in order, and on the flower stamen is a butterfly with its wings drawn down, sucking nectar; the lower body is a silver-red pleated skirt with fish and algae pattern, A tea-green silk sash embroidered with lotus entwining patterns.

Wen Xi looked at it, and was very happy in her heart. Although the clothes were only made of ordinary Lu silk, the color matching and pattern design of the clothes were very suitable. It looked elegant and beautiful. One can imagine wearing such clothes On the body, the elegant appearance of the sleeves must be very good-looking!

Concubine Xuan gently pushed the box towards Wen Xi, "If the imperial concubine doesn't dislike it, please accept it."

Wen Xi hastily declined and said, "How good is this? You must have spent a lot of effort to make it?" I also know, how dare court ladies and embroiderers dare to privately make Han costumes in the palace?It could only be that Concubine Xuan did it herself.

Concubine Xuan helped the oblique bangs in front of her forehead.There was a bit of worry in the flat tone: "Anyway, you can only keep it in the box. In the past, concubines made their own clothes. Now that there are embroidered hands in the palace, the clothes made by concubines are not necessary." Come on. The concubines and concubines on the left and right are similar in figure???? Haha, but the empress is afraid that she can only look at and play with it." Concubine Xuan looks soft, but her temper is as calm as water, even her smile is mostly faint, Speak casually, without affectation or status.Live indifferently, as if all the hustle and bustle in this palace has nothing to do with her.From the bottom of her heart, Wen Xi likes such a person, and also envies such a person.

"All blessings, imperial concubine and empress!" A well-behaved maid of about [-] years old entered the hall to salute, and then said to Concubine Xuan: "The nobleman Wei in the west hall has brought you a box of silk flowers." "Speaking, he put a large box of lychee-patterned nanmu wood on the table, bowed and stepped back to one side.

Concubine Xuan saw Wen Xi's questioning eyes, and said, "I just mentioned it casually two days ago. I didn't expect—" Opening the lid of the box, it was full of all kinds of lifelike delicate silk flowers, such as peonies. Mainly, but avoid the brightest red and purple colors, mainly pink and light yellow, as well as peonies, hibiscus, roses and magnolias.There are more than a dozen flowers, all of which are exquisite and flawless.

Wen Xi was slightly puzzled.I took out a Yaohuang peony silk flower, with fine petals and fragrant stamens, it is really a first-class craftsmanship!And the colors are mainly light and elegant, it can be seen that Xuanbi's intentions have been figured out.The heads of the Manchus are often decorated with silk flowers, also known as Beijing flowers, mainly made of silk, but also made of silk.It is often used to decorate the hair or stretch the wings. Wen Xi asked: "Your Wei? But that Wei?"

Concubine Xuan nodded.He seemed to like the small snow-white magnolia very much. He held it in his hand and played with it carefully. He could not put it down. He hummed and said, "It's her."

"Shouldn't she live in Concubine Hui's Zhongcui Palace? Why??" Why did she come to Jingyang Palace of Concubine Xuan?Wen Xi was puzzled.

"After Mrs. Wei became a noble person, Concubine Hui said that she was a noble person anyway, and it was not good for her to live in the same room with others, so she was asked to live in my palace." It is not uncommon for a Ding concubine, noble Nala, and many regular and promised people to live in the same house with others.Zhongcui Palace and Jingyang Palace are adjacent to each other, and from Concubine Xuan's tone, it seems that she has a good relationship with Concubine Hui.

"Why didn't you ask her to come in and say hello?" Wen Xi was just curious about how beautiful this rumored beautiful Wei nobleman was.

"She has always been quiet. She either stays in her own room all day, or goes to Zhongcui Palace to visit the eighth elder brother," Concubine Xuan said casually, "Even though she lives in my palace, Concubine Hui never forbids her to see her son."

Wei Shi is also lucky, Concubine Hui has a son of her own, and although she won't take care of other people's sons too much, at least she won't abuse her, and she won't prevent her biological mother from seeing her son.Compared with Concubine De, she was not so lucky. Concubine Tong Guifei had no children, so she naturally hugged Si Age tightly for fear that others would take a second look.This time Concubine Tong was grounded, Kangxi once thought about temporarily sending the fourth elder brother back to Yonghe Palace to be taken care of by Depin, but Concubine Tong cried and made noises, and she was carried out of her mother's house, so Kangxi had no choice but to give up.

Wen Xi said: "The day when the third concubine can be officially conferred is coming soon. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has been busy trying on auspicious clothes in several palaces these days. Concubine Hui is so busy that she may not have much time to take care of the eighth elder brother." The date of canonization is set. On the fourth day of December in the 20th year of Kangxi, the three concubines were to be canonized all at once. I am afraid that the scene will not be so grand, and the rebellion of San Francisco was settled at the beginning of this year, which is a happy time.

Concubine Xuan asked people to put away the silk flowers, and said just now: "At first I heard that the Empress Dowager said that the fourth concubine was going to be canonized, but I didn't expect that when the decree was made, there were only three concubines. Maybe it is——the emperor despises Concubine De's background after all."

Wen Xi was surprised, didn't she create it all by herself?Wu Ya's cleverness dares to play tricks in front of her, so Wen Xi naturally doesn't mind putting on eye drops and blowing on the pillow!Who told her to be too calculating?It may not be a good thing if the organs are too clever.She just watched Concubine Shen win Wen Xi's favor, and she was afraid that Wen Xi would interfere in the matter of becoming a concubine, so she resorted to a series of tricks, but in the end it was self-defeating, she had her share, but now it's gone.

After talking for a long time in Xuanpin Palace, Wen Xi didn't leave until it was almost noon, but she never thought that she would still see Mrs. Wei after all.

Outside the Jingyang Palace, there was a woman wearing new green clothes and her decoration was not much different from that of a court lady, but her beauty could not be lost among the palace ladies no matter what.No matter how plainly she dresses, she can't hide her natural beauty.It's just that the hands are a little rougher than ordinary concubines, presumably the traces left by doing rough work in Xinzheku. "Natural beauty is hard to give up, and once raised by the king's side" is also a portrayal of Wei Guiren, but it is a pity that she cannot be favored like Concubine Yang, her favor is like a flash in the pan, perhaps after many concubines began to love her When she was afraid, she was pregnant.But he also lost the favor of the emperor. Without the favor, no matter how great the country is, he can no longer be feared by others, right?

She saluted hastily, a little hastily, but not out of courtesy.Wen Xi only realized that she was Kangxi's concubine when she saw that she was not performing the ceremony of a court lady, and among the concubines in Jingren Palace, she presumably had such an outstanding look, so she asked, "Are you nobleman Wei?"

"Yes, the concubine is the Wei family." The nobleman Wei said in a very respectful manner.She lowered her eyes, not daring to meet Wen Xi's gaze.Even speak carefully.Judging from the direction she was coming from, she should have bumped into Wen Xi just after coming out of Concubine Hui's Zhongcui Palace.

Wen Xi didn't have a common language with her, and didn't know what to ask, so she just said, "Your Majesty Wei is so pretty."

Mrs. Wei, whose boudoir name is Wei Caibin, is a bit vulgar.Colorful, yet festive.It's just that not many people know her name—including Kangxi, who probably doesn't know it, and Wen Xi only found out after asking people.It's just that she was dressed plainly, and her life began to become monotonous, without any colorful splendor.Wei Caibin hastily lowered her forehead, her frail body shrank and said: "The imperial concubine is beautiful and heavenly."

Wen Xi shook her head slightly, looking like a frightened deer, this Wei Shi is too cautious, is everyone so timid and cowardly when meeting everyone?Wen Xi had no choice but to put on a gentle tone and asked, "Did you come from Zhongcui Palace?"

"Yes." Wei Shi didn't dare to lie, she came from the east and bumped into the imperial concubine head-on, and a smarter person would know where she had gone, so naturally she didn't dare to lie.

Ever since Wei Shi became pregnant, Kangxi had completely neglected her. If it hadn't been for the eminent concubine Hui to mention that the status of the prince's birth mother should not be too low, I'm afraid Wei Shi would not even be able to get the status of a nobleman!Wen Xi didn't have much to talk about with such a boring gourd, so she casually asked, "How is Eighth Brother?"

Wei's body trembled, and he hurriedly knelt down again and said, "My concubine didn't go to see Brother Ba!"

Wen Xi rolled her eyes, she was pretty smart just now, why did she become stupid again in a blink of an eye?Sighing helplessly, he said, "What are you afraid of? In this dynasty, the birth mother is not allowed to visit your children!" Even those low-level concubines who are not qualified to raise princes and princesses can visit them regularly. Under the knee, maybe I can see it more frequently.

Wei hurriedly said yes, but she was still afraid in her heart. Although there was no rule that the biological mother was not allowed to visit the prince more, Kangxi once said personally: The prince should not grow in the hands of a woman!Therefore, the eldest elder brother Yinyi was raised in the home of the Minister of Internal Affairs Gali when he was young, and the third elder brother Yinzhi also grew up in the home of the Minister of Internal Affairs Chuoerji since he was a child. He was re-entered into the palace when he was six years old. Of course, there is a more important reason. At that time, their biological mothers Nalashi and Majiashi were just concubines and were not qualified to raise their children.Wei Shi was afraid that he would visit Yinhu too much and cause Kangxi dissatisfaction.The eighth elder brother was born to Xin Zheku's maidservant, which was already enough to make Kangxi displeased, and Wei Shi was afraid that Yinhu would lose the favor of the emperor's father, who was already pitifully small.

Wen Xi asked Song'er to help Wei Shi up, he was a nobleman after all, his hands and feet were always weak with fear, he was too timid, so he said in a harmonious voice: "This morning, I was in the Palace of Xuan Concubine, and I saw you being sent off. The silk flowers that came are very delicate."

Wei's alluring face calmed down a little, and he bowed his head respectfully and said: "The imperial concubine is absurd!"

Wen Xi waited for a while, and was a little surprised to see that Wei Shi didn't say anything more, didn't she take this opportunity to flatter her?If it were a concubine with a low status next to her, Wen Xi would rush to offer her a compliment, and this Wei family seemed to be really peaceful.It's just that since she was safe, she dared to secretly conceive when Kangxi gave her Ruyi Bixi Tang?Then he felt a little tentative, and said: "Chengbi's seventh elder brother and eighth elder brother are about the same age, so they must be able to play together, why don't you see eighth elder brother in your arms to go to Changchun Palace?"

Wei Shi's delicate body trembled, her lips trembled, "Maid, maid???"

Wen Xi was a little surprised by Wei Shi's reaction, so Wu Lu Shi came closer to Wen Xi and whispered: "Last June, Wei Xiaozhu bumped into Concubine Cheng."

In June of last year, that is, in June of the 19th year of Kangxi, Cheng concubine gave birth to the seventh elder brother Yinyou on July 19 of the 25th year of Kangxi.Wen Xi suddenly realized, could it be because of that time that Seventh Brother's foot disease fell? !It's just that I have never seen Concubine Cheng suppress and retaliate against the Wei family at all. For a person like Concubine Cheng who loves her son so dearly, if someone dares to harm her child, she will definitely not swallow her anger. It seems that there is quite an inside story about this matter.

Wu Lu whispered again: "At that time, there was nothing serious about becoming a concubine, but one and a half months later, the seventh elder brother who was born was... The emperor originally wanted to severely punish the young master Wei, but the young master Wei was punished. It was diagnosed that she was pregnant for more than a month."

Wen Xi was eager to sort out the intricacies, and didn't care about the frightened Mrs. Wei, so she turned and got into the sedan chair.The seventh elder brother of Cheng concubine was murdered and was disabled, but she did not dare to do anything in the palace, which meant that it was definitely not because of the Wei family. Compared with the concubine Cheng, who was pregnant with dragon descendants and was quite favored by the emperor, it was not Wei who harmed the seventh elder brother.

So, since it wasn't Wei Shi, who could it be?The answer is ready to come out, the one who can make Cheng concubine afraid and close the palace is naturally the one who is above her, and in the 19th year of Kangxi, there were only many concubines and Concubine Tong who was far above her!At that time, concubines Dai Jia, Concubine Guo Luoluo and Concubine Wanliuha were the only concubines who were born in the Upper Three Banners of Manchuria and conferred concubines before they had children. , Wanliu Ha's looks are mediocre and unfavorable, so naturally he will not be feared by others, Guo Luoluo's fifth elder brother was sent to the Empress Dowager's knee by the concubine Yi at that time, and the pregnant concubine became Tong Jia's target.

If it was Tong Jiayiwan, then everything would be reasonable. Dai Jia's joining Wen Xi was not just because she wanted to earn a future for Seventh Elder Brother, but also because she wanted to take revenge. Concubine Tong's background and means of manipulation, Concubine De and Concubine Cheng, Concubine Duan and Concubine Cheng all share the same disease, so they can work together to let Wenxi lift the ban to check and balance Concubine Tong!

Taking a long breath, Nanny Li next to Tong Jiashi is really not simple!Kangxi entered the palace in 16 years, and in the following year, she helped her master get an elder brother through Wu Ya's belly, and gained the power to manage the six palaces. Two years later, she dared to attack other princes!Tong Jia must have created Wei's concubine. A favored and humble woman, such a jealous person must not tolerate it. She intended to kill two birds with one stone, but she never thought that Wei would become pregnant... ?etc!Wen Xi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, Wei Shi is pregnant, maybe it's for self-protection, she must know the inside story, and she did it for survival!

Wen Xi was once again thankful that Nanny Li was dead, otherwise such a scheming person would have become her confidant's serious trouble if she was alive! (To be continued.
