Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 43 Cining Palace

The Empress Dowager beckoned, even though she was in a serious illness at the moment, her eyes were still very bright.

It seems to be able to see everything.

Tong Jia Xili suppressed the trace of fear in her heart, and went to the Empress Dowager, and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"The children from Tong's residence are all outstanding." The Empress Dowager said with a bit of emotion in her tone, "The imperial concubine was so powerful when she entered the palace. I didn't expect that she would be so calm when she came to you atmosphere."

When the imperial concubine entered the palace, it was the time when she and concubine Zhao were fighting for the position of empress shoulder to shoulder.If she wasn't stronger, how could she be better than Concubine Zhao who was quite experienced at that time?
The Empress Dowager suddenly brought up this old incident, and when she looked at Tong Jia Xili, she also looked at her with some consideration.

Tong's family is extremely prominent. In the Shunzhi and Kangxi dynasties alone, there have been a queen, a royal concubine and a noble concubine.

If Tong Jia Xili also married the royal family here, I am afraid that the prosperity of the Tong Mansion will continue.

Right now, Tong Jia Xili's grandfather, Tong Guowei, has gained power and is known as "Tong Banchao".

If things go on like this for a long time... the empress dowager will inevitably have some more guesses.

"Ama Erniang has taught my ministers and daughters to keep their duty since childhood." Tong Jia Xili guessed half of what the empress dowager meant, and then said calmly: "Although my ministers are stupid, they always remind themselves to be strict with themselves." Discipline yourself."

The Empress Dowager nodded, then changed the topic and said: "Aijia heard from the Imperial Physician Liang that you offered a method of massage with aromatherapy essential oils?"

"Yes." Tong Jia Xili felt relieved, thinking that the Empress Dowager should temporarily put down her guard against herself.

After all, it is the Tong family who are powerful, not her, a little girl in her early ten years.

"People here at Ai's family are clumsy, and they always don't know what to do." The Empress Dowager said: "Why don't you stay in the Compassion Ning Palace and recuperate for Ai's family?"

...

Where is the suggestion here?

She didn't have to refuse at all, did she?

I don't know why the empress dowager suddenly thought of this, it seems that she doesn't really need her massage skills, does she?

Tong Jia Xili sighed silently in her heart, and suddenly found that even those who came from a noble family seemed to have countless worries.

Right now, isn't this "disaster from heaven"?
"My daughter, I'm willing." Tong Jia Xili agreed bravely, and tried hard to squeeze out a smile that didn't look so stiff.

"Su Mala, take her to resettle first." The Empress Dowager shrank back with a tired look, and said, "Send someone to talk to the Tong Mansion as well."

"By the way, I also trained and sent in the maid who often waited on her. It's better to stay with someone I'm used to."

"Yes." Aunt Su Mala agreed, and gave Tong Jia Xili a look, signaling Tong Jia Xili to follow her out.

It was a cloudy day, and it was only after walking out of this solemn hall that it suddenly felt a bit cold.

Tong Jia Xili followed Aunt Su Mala out, still in a daze.

Although she always wanted to go to the palace to see the imperial concubine and Yinzhen from time to time, but now she really lived in the palace, but it was in the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

It all happened so fast that she didn't seem to be able to sort out her thoughts very well.

At the gate of a quiet courtyard in the backyard of the Compassionate Ning Palace, Aunt Su Mala stopped in her tracks.

"Tonggege, let's live here for the time being." Madam Su Mala said, "The Empress Dowager is a compassionate person. You will understand when you get along for a long time."

"Thank you, Auntie Su Ma, for the reminder." Tong Jia Xili nodded and said, "I don't know, what's the name of this yard?"

"This yard doesn't have a name." Aunt Su Mala said, "If Gege likes it, it's the same as naming her own name and putting a plaque at the door."

"In that case, let's call it Chuuxuetang." Tong Jia Xili had an idea, and thought of such a name.

"Gege likes it, you can call it whatever you want." Madam Su Mala continued: "Gege has entered the palace, and what he learned in the mansion in the past can also be arranged by the empress dowager."

"Of course, there are female teachers in the palace who teach the princesses, so if Ge Ge is willing, she can also study with her."

"But there is one more thing. Gege's maids need half a month's training before they can be sent to the palace. During this period, although there are rough envoys serving Gege, some things still need to be done by Gege himself."

Tong Jia Xili nodded, knowing that this was also a test for herself by the Empress Dowager.

Since she has entered the palace, it is naturally impossible for her to act recklessly like in the mansion.When dealing with people, everything needs to be careful.

"Mother Su Mala, I understand." Tong Jia Xili smiled, took off a jade bracelet on her wrist from her head, and stuffed it into Madam Su Mala's hand.

"This bracelet was given to me by my mother. It's full of water, but it also suits my mother." Tong Jia Xi Li said: "I entered the palace in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare anything. Please don't dislike this bracelet."

Aunt Su Mala accepted the bracelet with a smile, but there was no other emotion on her face.But after a few more pleasantries, they left first.

Tong Jia Xili walked slowly into the blowing snow hall, seeing the clean and tidy surroundings, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Entering the palace, I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse.

"I've met Gege, the slave girl Dongxue is the nanny that the Empress Dowager pointed out to you."

A woman about 30 years old walked up to Tong Jia Xili and saluted respectfully.The attitude is very respectful, it can be seen that all the people in the Compassion Ning Palace have been trained very well.

"Aunt Dongxue is polite." Tong Jia Xili smiled, and gave Dongxue the entire purse containing silver that she carried with her.

Fortunately... Fortunately, she has the habit of carrying money when she goes out.

Otherwise, if he enters the palace suddenly, he won't even be able to get the reward money, and the days to come will be very sad.

"Gege is being polite." Dongxue accepted the money without showing any emotion, and continued: "Although the rules in the Compassionate Ning Palace are strict, Gege only needs to pay attention to two points to be safe."

"Which three points?" Tong Jia Xili's eyes brightened, and she thought that the money had just been sent out, and it had already produced results so quickly.

"The first point is, do not see or listen to evil. There is only one master of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and that is the Empress Dowager. So as long as you can speak in front of the Empress Dowager, Gege, everything will naturally be fine. Same."

"The second point is that although our Empress Dowager seems to be ignorant of world affairs, she is actually like a mirror in her heart. Therefore, you must think carefully about how you act."

"Not to mention the Compassionate Palace, even in the entire Forbidden City, there is nothing that can be hidden from the ears of the Empress Dowager."

Tong Jia Xili nodded and said, "More Aunt Dongxue."

"As a servant, since Gege has been accused of coming here, the servant naturally hopes that Gege will be well." Dongxue said: "Gege's current body is the honor and disgrace of the Tong Jia clan."

"Although you need to be careful when you act, I hope you can understand who owns the world of the Qing Dynasty."

"Don't make a mistake because of some things."

Tong Jia Xili was secretly startled, guessing a little bit about what the Empress Dowager was really worried about.

Although there is a crown prince right now, the Tong Jia clan is the most prominent in the court.

Tong Jia's family happens to have a Tong Jia Xili who "likes" with the fourth elder brother. If Tong Guowei has other thoughts, it may cause a lot of shock in the whole court.

The prince is still young now, although he has a dull temper and doesn't like to talk too much, he is still a smart child after all.

Master Kangxi put the feelings of teaching there, so naturally he didn't want too many changes.

"Don't worry, aunt." Tong Jia Xili nodded and said, "I'm natural, everything is about the country and the country."

Aunt Dongxue nodded with a smile, and finally said: "It's still early now, and Gege has worked hard to enter the palace, so let's go and rest for a while. The servants will take care of everything here first, and I will ask Gege to eat later."

"Auntie, go slowly." After Tong Jia Xili finished speaking, she was really relieved when she watched Dong Xue's back gradually walk away.

But while Tong Jia Xili breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't know that the Tong Mansion and Chengqian Palace were both anxious because of the Empress Dowager's sudden order to keep Tong Jia Xili in the Compassion Palace.

　Don't worry~~We Xili is such a good girl, the Empress Dowager will not embarrass her~
