Empress Xiao Zhaoren in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 78

For the sake of the family's wealth and safety, Rong Huang carefully waited on Xuan Ye's side.Because Oboi also came today, Rong Huang was afraid that he would talk nonsense when he was happy, so he stared at Oboi closely and winked at Oboi from time to time.Fortunately, the adoptive father also listened to her, if he said something inappropriate and she took the conversation away softly, Aobai would not be angry, he just drank with pride.

On this day, everyone's faces were filled with happiness, even Xiaozhuang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were no exception.There was only one person who spoiled everyone's interest, and that was the honorable man who was forgotten by the emperor for a day after he climbed onto the dragon bed.She hugged her third elder brother and sat down on the low-ranking concubine's seat, as if she had suffered a great grievance.

When Concubine Hui at the other table saw her, she pulled Concubine Yi beside her and started a private conversation.

"Look at that honorable lady, who doesn't care about others, and puts on a bitter face on the big day, as if everyone owes her hundreds of taels of silver. Doesn't this embarrass the imperial concubine?"

Concubine Yi smiled indistinctly: "Never mind her, it's just a noble person who doesn't like the emperor, how much trouble can it cause?"

Concubine Hui shook her head disapprovingly after hearing this: "That's not necessarily the case, she still has a third elder brother. And this Ma Jia Anmin has always been able to figure out people's hearts. Didn't the emperor just fall for her because he was coaxed by her a few days ago?" brand?"

Concubine Yi raised her eyes and murmured, "I don't know what Sister Hui means...?"

"We are the people of the imperial concubine and empress. This honorable person is having trouble with the empress. Should we teach her a lesson?"

Concubine Yi has always remained aloof from the world, and she doesn't really want to participate in these jealousy matters.However, when she thought about the fact that Ma Jia's plot against Rong Ruo and Rong Huang was almost implicated in Rong Ruo's affairs, she hated this noble man to death.If Concubine Hui made a move to deal with Rong Guiren, she would definitely not stop her.

"How... how can I teach you a lesson?" Mrs. Tong pretended to ask for advice humbly.

Huier raised her eyebrows and said: "Think about it, what is Ma Jia's most proud of? It's beauty? No, in terms of beauty, none of the three thousand beauties in the palace can compare to the imperial concubine. Is it her family background? No, she Although Ma is a second-rank official, but there are no big names in her ancestors, sister Yipin, your family background can beat her by a few blocks."

"What the hell is that?" Concubine Yi also became serious.

"It is possible to have a son. To be disrespectful, now that the Hesheli family is dead, why can't our imperial concubine be crowned queen? Because there is no child, if the name is not correct, the words will not go well. And this Ma Jia, who was favored by the emperor back then. She had Chengrui not long ago, and now she is even more capable, and she conceived the third elder brother in one go. A few days ago, the emperor blessed her again, maybe there is another one in her belly!"

Concubine Yi was young and thin-skinned, when she heard Concubine Hui talk about these secret things in her boudoir, she looked away in embarrassment.Concubine Hui didn't take it seriously, and continued to talk to herself: "In my opinion, as long as this Ma Jia family can't give birth to a son, she won't be able to be arrogant anymore!"

Tong Shi was startled, then lowered her voice and said: "This...what can we do, the body belongs to her, we have no choice whether the emperor goes or not, can my sister poison her?"

Concubine Hui stared at her eyes, pretending to be profound and said: "Then why? The imperial concubine said that poisoning is a low-level way to harm people. Only people who are cornered or fools would do that. Let's Ah, maybe you can try the words 'borrowing a knife to kill'."

Concubine Yi looked at Concubine Hui with different eyes from before.

She deeply felt that Hui'er had gained a lot of knowledge since entering the palace, and could use four-character idioms.It's really amazing to see each other for three days!
After the banquet, Shu Shu felt that Luo Shi and Xiao Rongxin had received the emperor's grace, and followed Ronghuang back to Yikun Palace.

After entering the room, Rong Huang just hugged the lively little sister, when she turned around, she found Shu Shujue Luo Shi was crying.Rong Huang's eyes turned sour, and he said angrily, "Er Niang, what are you doing?"

Shu Shujue Luo wiped his eyes, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, it's my mother's fault, the imperial concubine, please forgive me." She took out her handkerchief and kept wiping her tears, but there were more and more tears. They can't be wiped clean.

Rong Huang's heart softened all of a sudden, she let go of her younger sister, hugged her mother, and whispered in her ear: "Don't cry, my daughter, isn't your daughter doing well? Your little Fenghuang is now in the palace." You are now the highest honored imperial concubine, you don't have to worry about your daughter being bullied anymore..."

Shu Shujue Luo Shi kept nodding her head, and said comfortingly: "Okay, okay..." Although she is gentle and simple, she is not ignorant. After all, she is also a woman who has spent her whole life in the high school compound. Rong Huang now looks at the infinite scenery , but how many heartaches and grievances are behind it, how could Shu Shujue Roche not know?But she didn't want her daughter to be distracted by herself anymore, so she tried her best to hold back her tears, and said softly: "Emianang's little phoenix has finally grown up, Emiang is so happy."

Rong Huang rubbed against Er Niang's arms, feeling boundless in her heart.Maybe the only mother in this world is willing to provide her with all the help selflessly?It's just that Shu Shu felt that although Luo Shi was favored, he was too weak. It would be good if he could protect himself, so how could he help her.

She was feeling lost when she suddenly felt that the corner of her skirt was being pulled forcefully.Looking down, she saw her little sister who was carved in pink and jade was looking up at her curiously: "Sister, your hairpin is so beautiful!"

"Xin'er likes it? Then I'll give it to you." Rong Huang pulled out the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin from her hair, and carefully inserted it on the top of her sister's head.This was given to her by Xuan Ye two years ago, it used to be Rong Huang's favorite, but now it doesn't matter anymore.

Xiao Rongxin accepted the things unceremoniously, thanked her sister, and happily ran to look in the mirror.

Shu Shujue Luo Shi couldn't help laughing through tears: "This girl is naughty, exactly the same as you were when you were a child."

Rong Huang also laughed: "It's really strange, Er Niang has such a good temper, how did she give birth to us two demon kings?" Niu Hulu Gege before the age of 12 was indeed extremely stubborn.

"Who knows..." Shu Shujue Luo Shi didn't finish speaking, and suddenly said in surprise: "Little Fenghuang, you, why did you give such a precious hairpin to Xin'er? It's impossible!"

Shu Shu felt that Luo Shi didn't see it clearly just now, so he acquiesced in Rong Xin's acceptance. Looking at it carefully now, the golden phoenix is ​​lifelike, and the emerald emerald craftsmanship is exquisite, obviously it is a good thing that cannot be bought in the market.If she guessed correctly, it was either a tribute or a treasure bestowed by the emperor, which cannot be taken out of the palace at will.

Rong Huang said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I'll just tell the emperor tonight." Today is the big day for her canonization, Xuan Ye must come.Xuan Ye favored Ma Jia that day, and only after putting on his trousers in the morning did he realize that Rong Huang might be unhappy. These days, he tried to curry favor with her in different ways. Right now, he just gave Rong Xin a phoenix hairpin. Wan has no reason not to agree.

Seeing that she didn't take this seriously at all, Shu Shu felt that Luo Shi felt relieved a little, took Rong Huang's hand and said: "Little Fenghuang, the palace is no better than at home, so you must be careful in everything. Although you are being favored, but ...Because of this, there are more people staring at you and trying to pull you down, so you must not be proud of being favored!"

Rong Huang hadn't heard Er Niang nagging for more than two years, so he didn't think it was bothering him, and he did what Er Niang asked him one by one.Shu Shu felt that Luo Shi felt sour for no reason when he saw her so well-behaved.She couldn't help stretching out her hand to touch her daughter's pale cheeks, and said distressedly: "It's not that everyone in the royal family eats expensive food, why did they lose so much weight after being in the palace for so long? Little Phoenix, let's not embarrass ourselves just to win favor , have to eat well!"

"Yes, Er Niang, I know. My daughter eats a lot." Rong Huang said with a smile, "You can stay for dinner today. You can watch your daughter eat with your own eyes, okay?"

"But Your Majesty..." Mentioning this son-in-law, Shu Shu felt that Luo Shi was in a state of trepidation.

Rong Huang's eyes shifted, and when she saw the signal from the zither drum, she knew the emperor was coming, so she said coquettishly, "Whatever he does!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xuan Ye strode in. It seemed that Kangxi couldn't get rid of the problem of not being informed and then listening to the corner.

"Concubine Ai is so heartless, in vain I told the little kitchen to add some more dishes when I heard that Emiang was here."

Shu Shu felt that Luo Shi was startled, and quickly stood up to salute, but before she squatted down, Xuan Ye grabbed her.

"You are Xiaofenghuang's mother-in-law, and you are my mother-in-law, so there is no need to be polite." Xuan Ye smiled softly, thinking in his heart that this is Roujia's aunt.

Shu Shujue Luo Shi was even more surprised when she heard the words: "This..." She thought she had heard it wrong just now, but she didn't expect that the emperor really called her Er Niang! "This, how can I bear it..."

Rong Huang rolled the emperor's eyes slightly, and scolded with a smile: "Jing will pick good things to say!"

Xuan Ye had a thick skin and was not angry. He was about to talk to Rong Huang when he caught sight of a little person like white jade out of the corner of his eye.In the blink of an eye, he knew that this was Rong Huang's most beloved little sister.So he waved at her and smiled very softly.Seeing this, Rong Huang's heart moved, and he suddenly panicked.

According to the official history, her own sister Niu Hulu Rongxin is Kangxi's future Concubine Wen Xi!If the Empress Xiaozhaoren in the previous life hadn't died, perhaps Niu Hulu's family wouldn't have sent Rong Xin into the palace to consolidate their position.Originally, if she had never been out of the palace, Rong Xin would not have to enter the palace as a concubine, but now...if she faked her death and left the palace, wouldn't it be her youngest sister who will suffer in the palace in the future?Thinking of this, another burst of confusion.
