Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 92
The two words behind the seal are easy to write, but behind these words, there are too many turmoil brewing.

It seems that the imperial concubine is only one step away from becoming a queen.But it took nearly ten years for the imperial concubine to take this step.

In Chengqian Palace, since receiving the imperial decree, the queen has been sitting on the couch, always in a trance.

Yinzhen tried to call her several times, but was stopped by Tong Jiaxili's eyes.

"My aunt has experienced so much wind and rain, let her take it easy?"

Tong Jia Xili thinks this way, and hopes that Yinzhen can also give the queen some more time to recover at this time.

Yinzhen bit his lip, although there was a hint of embarrassment on his face, he still accepted Tong Jiaxili's suggestion.

Outside the main hall of Chengqian Palace, the two little fellows retreated quietly, half-closed the door, and made a detour to sit in the gazebo in the back garden of Chengqian Palace.

It is still a world full of ice and snow, and the fragrance of red plums is still lingering.

"Emperor Niang has been waiting for this day for a long time." Yinzhen said: "Although she never said it, I can feel it."

She loves Lord Kangxi deeply and longs to be his justifiable wife.

Such a position is for her.In addition to the supreme glory, it made her stand shoulder to shoulder with Lord Kangxi.

"That's right... Auntie couldn't come to her senses today." Tong Jia Xili said: "Well... Let the cook make more delicious food later, and celebrate with Auntie."

"Okay!" Yinzhen agreed earnestly, a basket of dishes that the empress liked to eat in the past had already appeared in his mind.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, Lord Kangxi came to Chengqian Palace without any accident.

At that time, the queen seemed to have returned to the youthfulness she had when she first entered the palace.The moment he saw Lord Kangxi, he was so shy that he wanted to hide from her.

At the moment when the obsession in my heart is achieved, I let go of the obsession that has troubled me for many years.

The night was deep.

When Tong Jia Xili returned to the Compassionate Ning Palace that day, there was already a thick darkness around her.

Even if it is a good day like the Lantern Festival.By this time, many people had already rested.

The main gate of the Compassionate Ning Palace has been closed.Aunt Su Mala specially ordered someone to leave a side door for Tong Jia Xili, and then Shanshan came back.

The night was quiet, but the main courtyard of the Compassionate Ning Palace was still lit with lights.

Could it be that the Empress Dowager hasn't rested yet?
Thinking of this, Tong Jia Xili carried the lantern and walked towards the main hall.

The door of the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace was ajar, and the lights inside were not very bright.The ladies and eunuchs who were watching the night huddled in the corner wrapped in blankets, wishing they could tuck their necks into the blankets.

Fortunately, there was a charcoal pot burning on the side, so they wouldn't feel too cold.

Just as Tong Jia Xili leaned forward, Aunt Su Mala came out from the room.

"Tonggege?" Mammy Su Mala's tone was not surprising, she just said caringly: "It's cold, Gege, don't always stand outside."

"The empress dowager hasn't rested yet, so go in quickly."

The tone of Aunt Su Mala's words was unquestionable, but it made Tong Jia Xili a little puzzled.

Go in?

The empress dowager is waiting for her to come back, do you have something to tell me?It's so late, why are you so anxious to talk about it tonight?

Thinking of this, Tong Jia Xili's heart tightened a little, and she calmed down before walking in slowly.

Inside the house, the earth dragon was burning very hot.As soon as Tong Jiaxili walked in, she felt that the smell came from all directions and got into Tong Jiaxili's body.

On the bed, the Empress Dowager was leaning against the edge of the bed covered with a quilt, resting with her eyes closed.

Tong Jia Xili's steps are very light.But as long as he got a little closer to the Empress Dowager, the old man seemed to be very alert, and immediately woke up and opened his eyes.

"Are you back?" The Empress Dowager's tone was a little tired, obviously a little sleepy.

"My daughter stayed in Chengqian Palace for dinner and stayed for a while, so she came back late." Tong Jiaxi said apologetically, "It's so late, why don't you rest, Empress Dowager?"

The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said, "Aijia doesn't mean to blame you. It's just that today's day is special, so I want to call you over so late."

Special day?

Does it mean that today is the Lantern Festival, or that today is the big day for the canonization of the queen?
"The Empress Dowager...?"

Tong Jia Xili made some inquiries, and the Empress Dowager directly asked straight to the point: "Do you know why the emperor suddenly named you queen?"

"My daughter doesn't know." Tong Jia Xili's heart skipped a beat, and she said seriously: "This matter is related to the court and society, and my daughter dare not speculate."

The Empress Dowager couldn't deny it, but said: "The Ai family has heard a lot of these high-sounding words, and you don't have to use it to perfuse the Ai family."

"Actually, Aijia didn't really want to know what you think when he said these things."

"It's just... I want you to understand a truth."

this moment.Tong Jia Xili only felt that the empress dowager who spent her whole life in troubled times had returned.

There was inviolable majesty in her tone.Even if it is such a few words that seem to be said lightly.

"The Empress Dowager, please speak, and the courtiers must listen attentively."

Tong Jia Xili also did not dare to neglect.Among them, they are now the most serious monarchs and ministers.

"Rise and fall, honor and disgrace, all depend on one thought. Over the years, the imperial concubine has gradually understood this truth, and she became a queen."

"Although she is Tong Jia's daughter, she is also the daughter-in-law of Aixinjueluo's family."

...

"My daughter, I understand." Tong Jia Xili nodded, she knew what the Empress Dowager meant.

There are so many concubines in Lord Kangxi's harem, and most of them married in for the purpose of restricting the previous dynasty.

But the former dynasty and the harem were originally one.When daughters from aristocratic families enter the palace, it is inevitable that they will fight for the interests of their own families.

The same is true for the imperial concubine back then.

But when the Empress Dowager said this to Tong Jia Xili, it implied another meaning.

she will...

Maybe it will also face the choice of Tong Jiashi and Aixinjueluo's family.Her place of residence is the Forbidden City, so she has to think about the people around her.

Instead of... for the sake of the family, to count the people next to her pillow.

"You are a good boy, and Aijia doesn't want to say too serious words." The Empress Dowager showed a kind smile, the previous strict appearance was swept away, and the harmony between the two seemed to be restored in the past.

"When it's time for the southern tour, you go with the empress." The empress dowager said: "Ai's family is not going."

Tong Jia Xili was about to open her mouth to say something, but was immediately stopped by the Empress Dowager.

"The Ai family is getting old, and I don't want to hold back the footsteps of you young people. It's only a few months, you go out and have fun, and tell the Ai family what you have learned, that's all."

In this way, Tong Jia Xili could not refuse.

Silent night.

After the Empress Dowager finished talking about the important things, she gradually became sleepy, and after yawning a few times, she sent Tong Jia Xili back to rest.

The old man lying on the bed looked at the little girl walking away, and nodded heartily.

　Here comes an update~ I found that weekends are busier than weekdays!

　　Starting next week, I will embark on the road to the southern tour~ Occasionally, I will sprinkle some sugar, and of course more things will happen.
