Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 44 Anxiety
In Chengqian Palace, the imperial concubine is leisurely reclining on the imperial concubine's couch, drinking tea.

While helping the imperial concubine rub her legs, Dong Yun talked about a lot of things about the fourth elder brother in the study room recently.

"A few days ago, the master took an exam to teach the elder brothers. The eldest elder brother and the third elder brother were in the front, and they couldn't answer many questions."

"On the other hand, the fourth elder brother has already answered all the questions, even the master said that the fourth elder brother has unique insights and is very talented in reading and understanding rituals."

"This talent, I'm afraid even Sixth Brother can't match it."

A happy smile appeared on the face of the imperial concubine, and then she snorted lightly and said, "They are all afraid of being more popular than the crown prince, but I am not afraid."

"My son is so outstanding, why does he have to hide it to appear inferior to others?"

The imperial concubine changed her posture, her face was full of pride.

In her eyes, her son must be the most outstanding.

Dong Yun nodded after hearing this, and said again: "Si elder brother has his wife watching, those people definitely dare not do anything."

...

After gossiping for a while, the imperial concubine got tired of talking just now, so she was going to lie down and let Dong Yun massage herself.

"That child Xili is clever, so I can figure out this method." The imperial concubine lay down quietly, closed her eyes and said, "Recently, my energy has indeed improved a lot."

Dong Yun happened to take the essential oil and was rubbing it on his palm to warm it up, and said, "Isn't that right. The steamed essential oil not only smells fragrant, but also has excellent efficacy."

As soon as the words fell, a flustered little maid came to the door outside the main hall of Chengqian Palace.

"Who is it?" Dong Yun frowned, thinking why is this court lady so ungrateful?The imperial concubine was about to soothe her spirits, but she came in to disturb her?
The palace maid was apprehensive, but she bit the bullet and told Dong Yun about the empress dowager's summoning of Tong Jia Xili to the palace.

The imperial concubine is not far away, so she can hear the matter clearly without sending a message.

"What did you say? The Empress Dowager called Xili into the palace?" The imperial concubine stood up from the couch all of a sudden, with a look of anxiety in her heart.

In the eyes of the imperial concubine, the empress dowager is not a good master.

When these concubines with prominent backgrounds first entered the palace, they were all taught to be submissive by the Empress Dowager.

Just looking at the Concubine De who was always serving beside the Empress Dowager was only from the background of a palace maid, one could tell that she actually didn't like those girls from everyone's background very much.

"Yes..." The little maid nodded tremblingly, and said again: "Madam Su Ma went to Tong Mansion to pick her up in person, and she has already entered the Palace of Compassion for an hour."

An hour is enough for many things to happen.

The most terrible thing is that it took her so long to learn the news, which means that the Empress Dowager deliberately bypassed her eyes and ears!
What does the Empress Dowager want to do?
"Dong Yun, hurry to the Palace of Compassion and Ning!" The imperial concubine tidied up her appearance as she walked out quickly, not wanting to delay for a moment.

In the Compassionate Ning Palace, Tong Jia Xili had just arranged everything with jewelry, looking at the simple room, she felt relieved.

"I don't know how long I will stay here." Tong Jia Xili murmured, "If you come here, you will be safe. I can't even serve an old lady, right?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a light coughing sound from outside the house.

"Cough cough."

Standing at the door, Dongxue vaguely heard Tong Jia Xili seem to be talking, so she raised her voice to remind her.

Tong Jia Xili's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly restrained her expression, and said to the door, "But Aunt Dongxue? I've already taken care of everything here."

"Your maidservant is here to tell Gege something." Dongxue said with a serious face, "The imperial concubine knew you had entered the palace, so she hurriedly brought someone to the Palace of Compassion and Ning .”

"The servant girl looked at the aggressive look of the imperial concubine, and was afraid that she would disturb the empress dowager to rest."

"Gege and the imperial concubine are aunts and nephews, so you should persuade the imperial concubine, right?"

...

Tong Jia Xili gritted her teeth secretly, knowing that the first test given to her by the empress dowager had come.

Moreover, it came so fast.

She not only wants to test herself, but also wants to test the whole Tong Jia family's mind.

"I see, please trouble Aunt Dongxue to show me the imperial concubine." Tong Jia Xili said, and walked out from the door.

Dong Xue waited at the door, seeing Tong Jia Xi Li's calm appearance, she just kept it in her heart, and while leading the way, she said: "After Ge Ge, just call the servant girl Dong Xue."

"Although this servant is old, in this Palace of Compassion and Ning, she still can't afford to be an aunt like you."

"Okay." Tong Jia Xili couldn't deny it, and nodded in agreement.

In the side hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace, the imperial concubine had already finished two cups of tea.

At first there were one or two palace maids serving, but now only the imperial concubine and Dong Yun are left.

"Didn't you say that the Empress Dowager is resting? What about Su Mala? I'm here to see my niece. Could it be that the notification is not enough?"

The imperial concubine was a little anxious, and her heart arose, so she simply walked out of the palace and grabbed a maid at random and asked.

At this moment, Dong Xue had already brought Tong Jia Xili through the veranda to the side hall here.

"Imperial Concubine." Dong Xue dressed and saluted, Tong Jia Xili also saluted and said, "I have seen Imperial Concubine."

The imperial concubine turned around suddenly when she heard Tong Jia Xili speak.

The moment she saw that Tong Jia Xili was safe and sound, the imperial concubine felt a big stone fall from her heart, and instantly felt a lot more relaxed.

"You...Are you okay?" The imperial concubine held back for a long time, but she only asked this one sentence.

Dong Xue belongs to the Empress Dowager, so she shouldn't be too presumptuous.

"Emperor Noble Concubine, don't worry, my daughter is fine." Tong Jia Xili winked at Huang Noble Concubine, and said, "It is my honor to enter the palace this time to serve the Empress Dowager."

"If Ama Erniang at home is worried, I would like to trouble the imperial concubine to help spread the message so that they can rest assured that they should not miss their daughter too much."

The imperial concubine was startled, but she also understood Tong Jia Xili's thoughts at once.Looking at the little girl in front of him who is only ten years old, but already so sensible, there is a bit of sadness in his heart.

"Don't worry, my palace will." The imperial concubine nodded, she seemed a little tired after tossing around for a long time, but she still told her: "Be careful in everything."

"The Compassionate Ning Palace is no different than other places, and it is even more thoughtful to act."

After all, the imperial concubine asked Dong Yun to drag Dong Xue aside again, and then she spoke a lot of caring and exhorting words to Tong Jia Xili.

...

There was a lot of gossip, everyone only knew that the imperial concubine came to the Palace of Compassion and Peace in a hurry, and then left calmly.

What happened in it, but I don't understand.

But Tong Jia Xili knew that she had passed this level safely.

In the early morning of the next day, after the regular court meeting ended, Tong Guowei went to Lord Kangxi's imperial study and kowtowed to thank the Empress Dowager for her "appreciation".

Lord Kangxi smiled, and was also happy to exchange some polite words with Tong Guowei.

only…

Although the majority of people in this palace are calm, there are still one or two who are a little irritable because of anxiety in their hearts.

For example, the little guy who is holding the little statue in his hand and is about to be crushed, but is holding it carefully.
