Leisurely Four Fortunes

Chapter 16

Since she still had to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, seeing that the hour was approaching, Concubine De didn't argue much.Yinzhen took the initiative to leave, Xiaoyi helped Concubine De out of the Yonghe Palace, just in time to see the door of Jingren Palace diagonally opposite, and Concubine Huihui in full dress came out surrounded by palace people.

Concubine De's body tightened, her face turned ferocious for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal.

"Greet your concubine's concubine."

Concubine Hui Hui of course knew Concubine De, she figured it out when she received the imperial decree yesterday, this might be the emperor's beating on Concubine De.But this has nothing to do with her, as long as she keeps herself safe, the emperor will treat her preferentially for the Tong family's sake.So Concubine De, even if she had another pair, she wouldn't be afraid.

So her expression is normal now, "They are all sisters from my own family, so there is no need to be so polite. The fourth family is also there, so they came to pay their respects so early."

"It's what Xiaoyi should do to serve all the mothers."

"Concubine De, it's good for the fourth child to marry this daughter-in-law."

The smile on Concubine De's face could hardly hold back, it was because she was kind that she was not happy.And this daughter-in-law doesn't have one heart with her at all, but has her own little calculations, is that okay?What's so good!

Now that they met, they had to show their sisterly love, and the two had no choice but to walk towards the Palace of Compassion and Peace together.Passing through the Sixth East Palace, the number of people gradually increased. When everyone saw Concubine Huihui and Concubine De walking together, their expressions were a little distorted.

After one night, almost everyone in the palace knew that the emperor didn't go to the Yonghe Palace yesterday, and the Concubine De was doted on as a coat, which was originally a matter of envy.Therefore, everyone in the palace, whether it was a concubine from the Eight Banners or a palace maid from Baoyi, clapped their hands and cheered.

These concubines knew it well, so when she came out today, she seemed to feel that everyone was laughing at her.Although more than ten years of court life has kept her from changing her face, but she has not experienced such a situation for a long time, and her whole heart seems to be roasted on fire for a moment, and she cannot escape the burning pain.

"Sister De is not feeling well?"

The word "sister" stabbed Concubine De, and seeing the concubine's supple skin and moisturized red face, the jealousy in her heart couldn't help but well up.She is already in her 30s, and no amount of makeup can hide the fine lines on her face.But the young woman in front of her, like her dead sister, was named a noble concubine as soon as she entered the palace, and she was honored and favored constantly.

Resisting the impulse in her heart, Concubine De grabbed Xiaoyi's hand, "I was worried about these two children yesterday, but luckily they are fine!"

In one sentence, I realized that I cared about the fourth elder brother, but also wanted to erase yesterday's incident, Concubine De really had a good idea.How can Xiaoyi, who is tense all the time, make her happy?
"Emiang said so, it's all the daughter-in-law's fault. Yesterday, my daughter-in-law was worried about our father and fainted for a while, so please ask Ernian to punish him."

Seeing that she would kneel down in the street without getting in the oil and salt, Concubine De felt anxious.Unexpectedly, she had to comfort her, and the depression in her heart became more intense.Concubine Huihui watched coldly, but the joy in her eyes was obviously stronger than before.

When they arrived at the Compassionate Ning Palace, they were considered to be early.But someone came earlier, and that was Concubine Yi.Concubine Yi has a bright personality, and her fifth elder brother is raised in front of the queen mother, who is a member of the harem, and she has the best relationship with the queen mother.

"Greet your concubine's concubine."

Concubine Yi casually blessed her lower body, "Sister De came with the imperial concubine? Just now, my sister was telling the Queen Mother that Sister De and the Empress Dowager are as close as sisters, and the fourth elder brother was raised by you. Now look , not only with the former empress, but also with the noble concubine. Queen Mother, don’t you?”

The Empress Dowager nodded Yi Fei's head, "Your temperament is more like Concubine De's learning, it seems that she gets along well with everyone."

As soon as this remark came out, even Xiaoyi could hear it.Yesterday Kangxi gave a big stick, and this morning the Empress Dowager rewarded Concubine De with a sweet date.Who said that the Queen Mother is not scheming, just look at how well she said it.

Concubine De also knew what that meant, she pretended that the biggest enemy in her life was Empress Xiaoyiren, but now she had to follow the Queen Mother's wishes and praise how good her former master was, she almost couldn't hold back her face.

"Sister De's complexion is not good, but she didn't sleep well."

As soon as this remark came out, Concubine Huihui couldn't help laughing, and Xiaoyi's expression was also a little distorted.Concubine De grabbed her daughter-in-law's hand, just about to use the excuse just now, Xiaoyi's legs moved slightly, remembering the scene in the imperial garden just now, she finally held back.

"I stayed with Shi 34 and the others last night, and slept a little late."

The three of them gathered in front of the Empress Dowager to have fun, and Concubine Hui Rongfei and other high-ranking concubines came one by one.As Xiao Yi expected, it was rare for a concubine De to be unlucky, and everyone didn't want to let go of this opportunity, and the topic of Empress Xiao Yiren was brought up again and again.She forced a smile on her face and said good things about the first queen over and over again, her whole face was almost unstoppable.

Concubine Min, who was staying in the side hall of Yonghe Palace, wanted to interrupt, but Concubine Yi was so fast-talking that she had no chance at all.Xiaoyi stood behind and watched, not to mention how happy she was.According to Concubine De's narrow-minded temperament, serving the former empress for two years can be regarded as a lifetime of humiliation.This hour this morning is enough for her to suffer for a long time.

Until the arrival of Kangxi, the atmosphere reached a climax.

Concubine Huihui, as the younger sister of the first empress, repeated the words of concubine De's praise, and said with red eyes, "Before my sister died, the thing she couldn't let go of was Yinzhen. Now that he has grown up and married Fujin, My sister's spirit in heaven can also rest in peace."

Kangxi also remembered every detail of being with his eldest cousin, "Father of the fourth family, hurry up and pay homage to your empress mother."

As soon as the golden mouth opened, Xiaoyi obviously felt that Concubine De's body stiffened.She thanked Kangxi sincerely, looked back and continued to serve Concubine De, and be a filial daughter-in-law in front of others.

Yinzhen is still happy from the bottom of his heart to be able to see the Queen's Mother again.Although the purpose of Empress Raising him was impure, the years in Jingren Palace were the happiest years in his previous life.The queen's mother had no children, so she gave him all her mother's love. At that time, his basic necessities were only a little worse than the crown prince's.Compared with the concubine De, the queen's mother is more like his mother.

Xiaoyi took out the clothes, shoes and socks she sewed by herself, which she had prepared for the three former queens long ago.However, there is a slight difference in style, and Yinzhen was even more moved when he saw it.

Jingling was too far away, and it was inconvenient for the two to get married, so the final place of worship was Kunning Palace.Accompanying them was also the prince, the eldest son of the Empress Yuan. Seeing the things prepared by the four younger siblings for the empress' mother, it seemed that they had put their heart into it, and Yinfeng felt more grateful to this family in his heart.

After worshiping according to the rules, Xiaoyi looked at the portraits of the three queens.It can be seen that they were all beauties before they were alive, but the portrait of Empress Xiao Yiren looks a little weird.Xiaoyi secretly kept an eye out, seeing that the hour was about to hit, she followed her out.

Just after leaving the Kunning Palace, Nanny Wu and Su Peisheng, who had been waiting outside, stepped forward, "Greetings to His Royal Highness, Si elder brother and Si Fujin."

"what happened?"

Su Peisheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the crown prince hesitantly, saw his eyes narrowed and subconsciously said, "The concubine de concubine has fainted!"
