Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 64

After the summer heat lasted for several days, everyone seemed to be gradually getting used to it.

Looking at the bright sunshine outside the window every morning, it is not as melancholy as before.

Since the beginning of summer in the palace, people from all the palaces have been lazy and unwilling to come out.But the imperial concubine really had nothing to do, so she wanted to let the troupe enter the palace to listen to the opera.

During the Kangxi period, there were no actors in the palace, so if you wanted to watch a play, you had to call a troupe from outside the palace.

It was not the first time for Chengqian Palace to invite a theater troupe.In the past, when Empress Xiaozhao was still there, imperial concubines always liked to invite people into the palace to have fun.

And since raising Yinzhen, this seems to be the first time.

Although the day was sunny, there were large swaths of white clouds floating in the sky.

It happened that a cloud blocked the sun, so Dong Yun came from Chengqian Palace to Compassionate Ning Palace.

Since they want to listen to the opera, Chengqian Palace naturally has to distribute invitation letters widely.The Empress Dowager of the Compassionate Ning Palace is naturally the one that cannot be ignored.

At that time, Tong Jia Xili was discussing with Madam Su Mala how to improve the summer diet for the Empress Dowager.

After summer, the Empress Dowager had a bitter summer, and her appetite was often unstable.Aunt Su Mala looked anxious, so she held Tong Jia Xili and thought of a way.

But just after saying a few words, the little maid outside came in and reported that it was Aunt Dongyun from Chengqian Palace who had come.

"Dong Yun?" Aunt Su Mala stopped talking, and went out with Tong Jia Xili, and saw Dong Yun coming in from outside.

Dong Yun succinctly talked about Chengqian Palace to set up a stage and invited troupe to enter the palace to sing a big play for three days, so he troubled Aunt Su Mala to tell the Empress Dowager about it.

After Tong Jia Xili heard this, her eyes lit up.

"Auntie wants to invite the theater troupe into the palace?" Tong Jia Xili was overjoyed, she was worried that she would not have time to go to Chengqian Palace recently.

now…

Theatrical troupe entered the palace, but it can be justified.

"Yes." Dong Yun said: "The imperial concubine even specially brought over the playbooks, saying that if the empress dowager wants to go, she will let the empress dowager order plays later."

Aunt Su Mala smiled and glanced at Dongyun.

Dong Yun was looking at Tong Jia Xi Li, and the two of them were exchanging some eyes.

"This matter... Tong Gege, can you tell the Empress Dowager?" Aunt Su Mala said: "I'm here, slave girl, and I have to go and see the meal for the Empress Dowager."

These words hit Tong Jia Xili's arms.

"As for the meal, my daughter-in-law will come to the small kitchen to help grandma take care of it later." Tong Jia Xi Li said: "For the matter of listening to the opera, my daughter-in-law will help grandma go."

...

In the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager was sitting on a rocking chair.

An old court lady was standing beside her, helping the Empress Dowager to rub her shoulders and legs.

The appearance of the Empress Dowager is quite pleasant.The only thing that still lingers in his eyebrows is the fatigue that always comes with him when he gets old.

"It's such a hot day, why don't you stay in the house to cool off, but go outside to bask in the sun?"

Just as Tong Jia Xili walked in, the voice of the Empress Dowager came from the front.

"Isn't it because the empress dowager is not eating well recently, so I went to the small kitchen with Madam Su Mala to see, can you think of a way to let you eat more?"

"The courtier is willing to be lazy. It's just that the courtier is lazy. Firstly, there are fewer people to serve you, the Empress Dowager, and secondly, there is one less person who can help Su Mala, right?"

The Empress Dowager laughed lightly, and said with some helplessness in her tone: "The Ai family used to look at you, and always thought that you are obedient and obedient, and you are a lady of everyone."

"How come you've only been together for a few months, and you've revealed your true colors? You're so eloquent, you can say three sentences in Ai's words."

"The court lady is just saying something." Tong Jia Xi Li said: "The Empress Dowager, you are like a mirror in your heart, and the court lady naturally doesn't bend around in front of you."

The Empress Dowager nodded, and when she opened her eyes, there was a little more emotion in her eyes.

The relationship between the Empress Dowager and Tong Jia Xili was exactly like the way Kangxi got along with the Empress Dowager when he was young.

The relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is very good, and Lord Kangxi also respects the empress dowager very much.But not only that, there is more family happiness between the grandparents and grandchildren.

And this family happiness is exactly what the Empress Dowager has gradually lost in recent years, but she has found some in Tong Jia Xili.

It was also thanks to Tong Jia Xili's "big heart" that he accidentally got along so well with the Empress Dowager.

"You little girl, you should learn the rules." The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, she looked angry, but she didn't continue talking.

Tong Jia Xili saw that the Empress Dowager turned her head away and looked like she didn't want to talk to her, so she simply moved forward again and sat down beside the Empress Dowager.

"The imperial concubine sent someone over, saying that they invited a troupe into the palace in a few days."

"Midsummer is boring, thinking that you should also go out for a walk, the Empress Dowager, so I brought the playbook and said that I want the Empress Dowager to see if there is any drama you like to listen to."

This is said in a tactful way, it seems that the imperial concubine invited this troupe into the palace because she was thinking about the empress dowager.

After hearing this, the old man seemed to feel much better all of a sudden.

"Ai's family is too lazy to go." The Empress Dowager said: "Listening to the opera is very lively, but after singing for so long, my ears hurt."

"Let's talk about it. If the Ai family goes, don't all the juniors have to stand up and watch the face of the Ai family to talk and act? In this way, it is not very fun."

...

These words are from the heart of the Empress Dowager.

The empress dowager has a high status, everyone has to consider three points, and at the same time, she will be more cautious when she is around.

But everywhere is cautious, but it's not the original intention of inviting a troupe into the palace to let everyone relax.

"That's a pity."

Tong Jia Xili held the playbook in her hand, and said again: "But the empress dowager, don't worry. The courtiers must tell the imperial concubine that she will bring the fourth elder brother and sixth elder brother to greet you after the play is over. "

The old man may not care so much about other things, but in his heart he still hopes that the children will be happy.

Tong Jia Xili put forward such a suggestion, which is the best of both worlds.

"Knowing how to be good." The corner of the Empress Dowager's mouth slightly raised, she stared at Tong Jia Xili and asked, "Look at what you've said, you're thinking about going to the theater, right?"

"The empress dowager is wise!" Tong Jia Xili subdued, and said obediently: "I think about you first, the empress dowager, before you dare to secretly think about yourself."

"Hmph." The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, and said: "Then Ai's family won't let you go, so can you just stay there and not go?"

"Okay, okay, go if you want. Living in Chengqian Palace for three days can be regarded as Aijia so that you can have a good rest."

The Empress Dowager waved her hands, closed her eyes again, and rested her spirits.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!"

　Alas, finally we can be together for three days~
　　Good night.
