Chapter 21 Aftermath
After all, the relationship between the emperor and his concubines is not like that of ordinary people. The behavior of the imperial concubine running to another palace to find the emperor is somewhat embarrassing.

However, before Lord Kangxi and Concubine De could frown, they saw the dignified Concubine Huang Guifei leading the two children walking over.

"What happened?" Master Kangxi suddenly became suspicious, and he couldn't help being infected by this emotion, so he asked, "Why is your face so ugly?"

The imperial concubine hurriedly saluted, and then ordered Xiangrui to explain the cause and effect of the matter clearly.

Xiangrui stepped forward and spoke in an orderly manner.At the end, he presented the piece of unfinished pastry in his hand to Lord Kangxi.

"Master Liang, the judge of the Supreme Hospital, said it. The smell of medicine in this place is so strong that one bite can kill a person."

Master Kangxi's face was ashen, and he still asked in disbelief: "This snack was really sent by the prince's people?"

"Yes." Xiangrui nodded, and said in a deep voice, "I dare not lie to you, it is true."

Hearing this, Concubine De was so frightened that her face turned pale, she quickly put her arms around Yin Zuo and Wen Xian, and asked, "Do you feel any discomfort?"

"Did you eat all those snacks yesterday?"

Yin Zuo and Wen Xian looked at each other and nodded.

"My sister ate a lot of pastries yesterday." Yinzuo said, "I ate too. But...it seems that nothing happened. Tong Niangniang's..."

I was accidentally knocked over by the cat, so I didn't eat it.

Is it...

Yesterday, the cat ran out and knocked over the dim sum just because it smelled something wrong?
"Li Dequan, go and pass the Imperial Physician Liang over here." Lord Kangxi said in a cold voice, and the air of a king exuded from his whole body.

Concubine De squatted down, patted Yin Zuo and Wen Xian's heads, and said, "Go and play first. Huang Ama, Huang Guifei and I have something to discuss."

After all, it's better not to talk about these unbearable things in front of the children.

Tong Jia Xili glanced at Yinzhen, at this time Yinzhen's still immature face was also full of seriousness.

He must have mixed feelings in his heart.

"Yinzuo, let's go play first." Yinzhen reached out and pulled Yinzuo, and took him and Wen Xian away together.

In the back garden of Yonghe Palace, many plum blossoms were also planted.

It's winter, and the aroma of winter plums is lingering and proud, filling people's noses.

But at this time, the children were not in the mood to appreciate the scenery.

Most royal children already know many things early on.Even Yinzuo's mind is far beyond that of an ordinary ten-year-old child.

On the contrary, Princess Wen Xian was raised under the empress dowager's lap since she was a child. She was carefree and more lively.

"Brother, aren't the dim sum we ate yesterday wrong?" Wen Xian asked a little nervously as he tugged on La Yinzuo's sleeve.

At the end, Wen Xian rubbed his stomach, feeling worried and scared.She still remembers the last time she ate something wrong and had a stomachache.

This time, it naturally reminded Wen Xian of having a stomachache.

"It should be fine." Yin Zuo reassured: "The things we eat should be fine."

"En." Wen Xian nodded, and looked at Tong Jia Xili with an innocent and harmless face.His face was full of curiosity, as if he was very interested in Tong Jia Xili.

"Is this Tongfu's older sister?" Wen Xian looked at Tong Jia Xili, and said with a smile, "I heard from Sixth Brother that there is a sister in Tongfu, who is good-looking and interesting."

After Wen Xian said this, he continued: "The age is about the same, so it's very suitable."

Ok?
Tong Jia Xili tilted his head to look at Yin Zuo, with suspicion in his eyes.

About the same age, it is very suitable.What does this... mean?
Yin Zuo was a little embarrassed, his face was slightly red, he tugged on Wen Xian's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"I mean. Xili, you are about the same age as me and my fourth brother, and we will be good playmates in the future." Yinzuo scratched the back of his head and hurriedly explained, for fear of any misunderstanding.

"Is it like this? Sixth brother?" Wen Xian pouted his lips, thinking: It's obviously not like this!
"Of course it is!" Yinzuo said with a straight face, "Although Xili is not much older than me, he knows a lot."

"The story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs that I told you that day was what Xi Li told me and my fourth brother."

"Really?" Princess Wen Xian's eyes widened all of a sudden, as if she had discovered something novel, she rushed to Xi Li.

"Is there any good story that you can tell me?"

Xi Li nodded, and after sitting down safely under the gazebo in the back garden of Yonghe Palace with everyone, he told the story of the mermaid.

Princess Wen Xian liked strange things since she was a child, especially these interesting stories.

Those fascinating plots in fairy tales can even touch the hearts of these little girls.

In addition, Tong Jia Xili seems to have a talent for storytelling.Even Yinzhen couldn't help being fascinated by the ups and downs in his tone.

Inside the gazebo, several children were sitting seriously, listening carefully to what Tong Jia Xili was saying.For fear of missing any detail.

This appearance is almost more serious than taking classes in the study room.

After telling the story of the mermaid, Princess Wen Xian pouted, looking very sad.Obviously saddened by how the mermaid ended up.

After giving your heart, you can't get anything in return, and you can only turn into a bubble in the end.

Yinzuo is also a little sad.Squeezing his sleeves, seeing Wen Xian beside him looking like he wanted to cry, he patted Wen Xian on the back and said, "Silly sister, it's just a story."

Wen Xian shook his head persistently, and said, "It's just a story, but I'm also sad!"

"It's all my fault for telling this sad story." Tong Jia Xili felt guilty for a moment.

"It's okay." Wen Xian sniffed, still a little unhappy.

"Sister, didn't you say before that you wanted to pick winter plums and put them in the house?" Yin Zuo stood up, took Wen Xian's little hand and said, "Shall we go pick flowers?"

As soon as picking flowers was mentioned, Wen Xian's small face immediately stretched a little, and he also stood up. The brother and sister nodded to Yin Zhen and Tong Jia Xili, then turned and walked away.

At this time, Yinzhen seemed to have returned to reality from the mermaid story, and frowned again.

Yinzhen frowned, and Tong Jiaxili's heart seemed to wrinkle accordingly.

She knew that Yinzhen was still thinking about the pastry in question.

"Cousin." Tong Jia Xi Li said: "It has already happened. Fortunately, we are all safe and sound. This is already the best result."

"No matter who is behind the scenes this time, it may not be the result we want to see."

"But this time, didn't it also give us a wake-up call? It wakes up the people behind it, and also wakes up ourselves."

As for Lord Kangxi, he will definitely like her.Wait... Why does this sound like an ugly daughter-in-law will see her in-laws sooner or later?

Yinzhen was suddenly talked about the central matter, and then Tong Jia Xili explained it all at once.There was a sigh in my heart, but I didn't know what to say.

For the first time, he discovered that this little cousin actually knew him so well.

"You're right." Yinzhen nodded and said, "Since the matter has already happened, it would be unwise to indulge in the matter itself."

"What we should think about right now is really how to prevent these things in the future."

Even the things sent by the prince have problems.Then other things, I am afraid that we should be more cautious.

"Yes." Tong Jia Xili also felt scared for a while.

If not luck.I'm afraid it's the three of them, all dead bodies are there, right?

"I don't know who is behind this matter." Tong Jia Xili muttered to herself, naturally not believing that things were as simple as they appeared on the surface.

From Musk's sachet at the beginning to the "revenge" of Pinggui and the prince's party, it is indeed very reasonable and logical.

But this thing.In fact, there have been problems with the sachet from the very beginning.

In the future, I am afraid that it will not be as simple as it seems on the surface.

"Huang Ama will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly." Yinzhen said seriously, with a serious expression on her small face.

Dare to stick his minions into the harem to make trouble, it is undoubtedly slapping Lord Kangxi in the face.

In the distance, Wen Xian ran under a wintersweet tree, raised his head and looked at the wintersweet flowers above his head, feeling very depressed.

She was too short for even the lowest branch to reach.

"Hey!"

Wen Xian tried his best to reach out and jump up, trying to reach out and tear off the flowers on top, but he could only barely touch the petals on top.

"Sister, let me help you." Yinzuo grinned and couldn't help saying, "You're too short."

After hearing this, Wen Xian turned his head suddenly, pointed at Yinzuo with staring eyes and said, "What are you talking about! I'm going to pick it off! Hmph!"

After speaking, he was even more angry and unconvinced, repeating the previous actions.

Yin Zuo shook his head and sighed, feeling that his sister was also really stubborn.

What is determined must be done.

Little Wen Xian bounced around for a while, his back started to feel a little hot, but he still couldn't reach it.But she praised Haikou and it was hard not to do it, so she could only grit her teeth and hold on.

But... That guy Yinzuo just seems to be watching the show behind his back!He didn't mean to help at all.

Although she said, she wants to come by herself.

But that doesn't mean he won't need to help, right?
Wen Xian was a little depressed, but also a little angry.

"Wen Xian, how about fourth brother picking wintersweet with you in his arms?"

Yinzhen and Tong Jia Xili were worried for a while, but seeing that Wen Xian and Yinzuo still hadn't come back, they simply came out to look for them.

Just in time, Yinzhen saw Wen Xian who was jumping up and down.

"Fourth brother is the best!" Wen Xian stopped his movements, turned around and came to Yinzhen's side, tugging at Yinzhen's sleeve and said, "Sixth brother won't help me."

?

Yinzuo staggered and glanced at Wen Xian in confusion.

But Wen Xian was still tugging on Yinzhen's sleeve at this time, but when Yinzhen was not paying attention, he secretly stuck out his tongue at Yinzuo.

She looked like a little witch.

Yin Zuo laughed.There was nothing he could do about this younger sister.

After the plum blossoms were folded, and after the interrogation by Emperor Kangxi on the other side, Imperial Physician Liang got the result, and immediately ordered Li Dequan to issue an order to thoroughly investigate the matter.

By the way, thoroughly investigate the food distributed to the sixth house by the prince, and then continue to investigate the secret behind this matter.

The New Year of Kangxi's 29th year is not destined to be peaceful.

Twelfth lunar month 29, the night before New Year's Eve.

In the Palace of Compassion and Peace, there are filled with red lanterns.It is very lively, and it also declares the festive atmosphere on the New Year's Day.

But this night, the atmosphere in the Compassion Ning Palace seemed a little depressing.

She will be raised for several months, and the Empress Dowager's health has only improved slightly in the past few days, so she heard about what happened in Chengqian Palace.

The old man couldn't tolerate these things the most, and immediately asked Su Mala to call Lord Kangxi over to ask about the situation.

And this night, after investigating the whole story clearly, he came to report to the Empress Dowager.

In the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace, under the simple and solemn decoration, both the grandfather and grandson's expressions were not very good.

"Who is it?" The Empress Dowager asked in a slightly hoarse voice, although her tone was a little flat, but it also carried a hint of calm and prestige.

She holds a dragon-headed cane in her hand.Even though she was just sitting there, she still couldn't hide her heroic demeanor.

"It's a bright pearl." Lord Kangxi said: "Three birds with one stone. It can not only make Tong Jia's clan and Concubine De feud against each other, but also trigger the grievances between Tong Jia's clan and Hesheli."

Nalan Mingzhu is the father of Nalan Rongruo.

Although he is not as powerful as Tong Guowei, he can be regarded as a person who can lift weights with ease.Gaining power in his early years, his son Nalan Rongruo was even more popular around Lord Kangxi.

It is a pity that Nalan Rongruoying died young.In order to consolidate their status, the Nalan clan had no choice but to turn their attention to Lord Kangxi's harem.

And the elder brother's biological mother, Concubine Hui, is a distant relative of the Nalan clan.There has been close contact between the two in recent years, and Lord Kangxi is not unaware of it.

It's just that this time they didn't expect that they even dared to do such a thing.

"Pearl?" The Empress Dowager sneered, and said, "Everyone knows their Sima Zhao's heart."

"It's no surprise that something like this can be done."

"It's just Xuanye. Your harem, you can't let such a person lead you by the nose."

"In the early years, I thought Concubine Hui was a pretty good child. But since I had a big brother, my mind has gradually changed."

"Which woman in the harem doesn't think about that position?"

Master Kangxi had a sullen face, but he just nodded.

"Grandmother don't worry, my grandson knows it well." Master Kangxi said in a deep voice, "Now it's the Chinese New Year, let them live in peace for a while."

The Empress Dowager nodded, closing her eyes and resting her mind, she seemed relieved.

"Right?" After a long while, the Empress Dowager suddenly opened her eyes and asked, "In Chengqian Palace that day, that child of Tong Jia's family ran in to express love for the imperial concubine?"

Lord Kangxi nodded, and said: "Yes. She is not afraid. At that time, my grandson was arguing fiercely with the imperial concubine."

"He's a good kid." The Empress Dowager nodded, and said inexplicably, "Xuan Ye, you can pay more attention."

"Yes." Master Kangxi nodded.But I don't know if the meaning I understand in my heart is the same as what the Empress Dowager said.

One-year-old addition to the sound of firecrackers.

In the early morning of New Year's Eve, Tong Jia Xili was woken up by the crisp sound of firecrackers outside the yard.

The crisp sound was not very loud.But it happened to be Tong Jiaxili's biological clock, so he woke up.

"Snapped--"

Accompanied by this crisp sound, Tong Jia Xili finally felt a bit of the meaning of the New Year.

By this time the sky was bright.Sunlight shines in through the window and sprinkles on the dressing table under the window, which makes people feel comfortable.

"Gege is awake?"

This time Taoyao entered the palace with Tong Jia Xili, and also lived in Chengqian Palace.

Early this morning, Taoyao had already prepared water and came in, seeing that Tong Jia Xili hadn't woken up yet, she simply leaned aside and dozed off.

"Go back to bed when you're tired." Tong Jia Xili looked at Taoyao's sleepy eyes and said, "Can't I know how to wash and eat?"

Tao Yao hurriedly shook her head like a rattle drum, and said: "Serving Ge Ge is the duty of a servant. If this duty is lost, what should a servant do?"

Tong Jia Xili was startled, but couldn't help laughing.

Each of them has a duty to do.

Putting on a bright red palace attire to go out, Tong Jia Xili specially wrapped a snow-white fur scarf around his neck.

This scarf was specially ordered by her.Not only is it warm and comfortable around the neck, but the whole person looks like a lively little rabbit.

At this time, more than half of the time has passed, and busy figures in Chengqian Palace can be seen everywhere.

New Year's Eve is a big day, and everyone dare not be sloppy.

But Tong Jia Xili looked around.In addition to the snow-white sky and earth against the red plums, there is actually a familiar figure under the vermilion palace wall in this courtyard.

It's Yinzhen.

Yinzhen was holding his hands behind his back, looking very serious.Standing beside him was a young eunuch who was also not very old, and seemed to be nodding and bowing his head to apologize for his mistake.

Such an early morning, this poor little eunuch made Yinzhen angry?

Tong Jia Xili was suspicious, walked through the corridor, and was not far from the two of them.

"The slave is wrong, it's all the fault of the slave. The slave is playful, and happened to drop the firecracker on the ground, causing it to explode and disturbing the fourth elder brother."

The little eunuch spoke submissively, a little afraid to raise his head.

Yinzhen still had a straight face, looked at the little eunuch sullenly and said, "It's not me you're disturbing! It's the people inside!"

As he said that, he subconsciously pointed to the room where Tong Jia Xili lived, with a serious face, and he was about to "educate" the little eunuch.

"cousin?"

Tong Jia Xili had already listened to this conversation.Feeling warm in his heart, he stepped forward and called Yinzhen.

"Hey!" Yinzhen responded subconsciously, before realizing that it was Tong Jia Xili who came.Just when he was about to lower his head and say little eunuch again, he raised his head in a daze.

"Cousin?" A flustered look flashed in Yinzhen's eyes, and he asked, "Did I disturb you?"

"No." Tong Jia Xili smiled and asked tentatively: "You scolded him. Is it because you thought you bothered me?"

If Tong Jia Xili's guess is correct.For the first time, Yinzhen lost his temper with a young eunuch because he accidentally set off a firecracker, thinking that he had disturbed himself.

"Did you hear that?" Yinzhen said again in a hurry, "It's all Su Peisheng's fault. He said he brought firecrackers here for you to play with, but he blew one up on the way."

"It's okay." Tong Jia Xili smiled, then turned her head to look at Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng didn't look like he was more than ten years old, he kept his head down and didn't dare to look up.

I never thought that the famous Eunuch Su had such a timid and fearful appearance when he was young.

Sure enough, if a person wants to grow up, he needs experience.

"Cousin?" Seeing that Tong Jia Xili was distracted, Yinzhen couldn't help saying: "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I came here to ask you to have breakfast together."

"Well, good." Tong Jia Xili came back to her senses, looked at Yinzhen's look of asking herself carefully, and said again: "I really didn't bother me. I slept well, I just woke up at that time!"

Yinzhen nodded.At some point in his eyes, a small mirth came out.

In the dining room of Chengqian Palace, the imperial concubine just came over.

There is always a gloomy look in her eyes, and the anger in her heart is always somewhat irrepressible, as if it is about to burst out soon.

Lord Kangxi sat beside the imperial concubine.Looking at her sullen look, he knew that she was naturally angry because of what Ming Zhu and Concubine Hui had done.

The imperial concubine was nervous Yinzhen, who had already surpassed herself.How can anyone allow others to hurt Yinzhen?

"Anger hurts the liver. Later, let's soak some fetal chrysanthemum honey and drink it." Lord Kangxi reached out to touch the hand of the imperial concubine, patted it gently and said: "Other things, I will be here."

"I can't bear such a thing." The imperial concubine couldn't help but complained out of her temper, but in the end, she still vented a lot of anger in her heart.

If it was the imperial concubine who just entered the palace, she would have the heart to kill Concubine Hui directly.

Times change now.Perhaps because of Yinzhen, the imperial concubine is also much gentler and easier to get along with.

"By the way, where is this child Yinzhen?" Kangxi glanced at the little eunuch beside him, and asked, "Didn't you say, come over and have breakfast together?"

The little eunuch obeyed, and replied respectfully: "The fourth elder brother went to call Tong Gege, and said that it will be used together."

Lord Kangxi nodded, and suddenly remembered the inexplicable words of the Empress Dowager last night.

These two children seem to have a much better relationship than he imagined.

On the Chaoshou veranda, Yinzhen walked a little fast, but still took care of Tong Jia Xili's footsteps.

"Huang Ama and Er Niang should be waiting now." Yinzhen looked at Tong Jia Xili who was walking away panting with a reddish face, and said, "Go, remember to greet Huang Ama."

"Ah? The emperor is here too." Tong Jia Xili's mouth grew wide and flattened.

Although this Lord Kangxi seems to be easy to get along with.But... that is the legendary emperor through the ages after all!

Sitting at a table like this and eating, it feels a bit unreal!

"En." Yinzhen nodded, and said seriously: "Huang Ama is easy-going, just be yourself in front of him. Cousin, you are so sensible, obedient and cute, Huang Ama will definitely like you."

"Hmm..." Tong Jia Xili reluctantly responded, only feeling that the adjective sensible and obedient really doesn't really suit her.

If it weren't for the rules everywhere in this palace, she would have exposed the personality of the devil king.

 I will see if there is any situation later, I will write now.If not today, there will be two more tomorrow.

  Why write about Kangxi’s harem, of course it is to lay the foundation for our April Fourth enthronement in the future~
