At dawn, Xianying woke up Little Yinzhen and let the servants wash her up. She sat in front of the dressing table and let Jingyu and Xiangyu help her tidy her hair and decorate her. She looked at her face in the mirror, which she had gotten used to looking at these days. Under the hands of those two people, she changed her appearance again.
" You don't have to make your makeup too thick today. Just bring jewelry that can show your identity," Xianying said as she saw Xiangyu opening two wooden boxes filled with various colors and using a thin pen to paint her face.
After hearing Xianying's words, Granny Cui stepped forward and said,""Master, Momo knows that you are very careful about these women because of the Eighth Princess, but today is the first time you have come to Cining Palace to pay your respects after the middle of the month, so we can't avoid this etiquette.”
Looking up at Xiang Yu holding her eyebrow ink brush and standing at the side with her head lowered, Xianying also knew that Xiaozhuang liked to see the concubines in the palace dressed brightly after he was old. Although she did not know if it was because of the group of beauties that made Kangxi's eyes confused, so that he would not be like Shunzhi who saw a slightly different and straightforward woman, Consort Dong E, and lose his soul and only have one eye, but if she still wanted to curry favor with Xiaozhuang and ask her to change the jade archive for the fourth brother, today's gorgeous dress would have to be on her.
Since they had already reached this step, there was no need to be too concerned about this scattered clothing. He raised his hand and waved at Xiang Yu and Jing Yu."Just do as Granny Cui says."
However, she didn't dare to let Xianying regret it again. Cui Nanny also went forward to help pack up. From the jewelry box, she found the two blood-red gemstones that made people know that they were precious earrings. She held them with both hands and walked to Xianying's side."You haven't paid your respects to the Cining Palace for some time. This pair of ruby earrings was personally bestowed by the Empress Dowager.”
Xianying knew a lot about the jewelry. After all, there were more jewelry in the tombs of women. However, in Xianying's eyes, those jewelry could only be used to know the identity and age. She didn't know much about pure appreciation. She casually glanced at the earrings in Nanny Cui's hand and the earrings made of ruby. She said indifferently,"You can do as you see fit. Also, did you make the outerwear that Bengong asked you to find someone to make last night?”
This morning, she woke up two hours early to check on the situation. She knew that although time was tight, she didn't look like she was lying. Granny Cui reported to Xianying,"Replying to Mistress, the outer garment you wanted has been made. Although time is rather tight, this servant has personally seen it done and it is still acceptable.”
Xianying knew that it was already good enough for Nanny Cui to be satisfied with her. She closed her eyes and let Xiangyu smear her face. She opened her red lips and said,"Bring one for BenGong to wear first, the rest will be distributed to everyone when the concubines come.”
Nanny Cui, who had been suspicious since last night when she heard Xianying's instructions, now heard that her master was going to wear those clothes that weren't very exquisite. If she was in Jing Ren Palace, Nanny Cui wouldn't say much if Xianying had instructed her like this. But today, she was going to Ci Ning Palace and Ci Ren Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. If she wore those clothes, she would definitely not get any good treatment.
Thinking of this, Granny Cui quickly persuaded,""Master, how could you wear that robe to pay your respects to the two old masters in the palace today? You even gave that outer robe to the concubines in the palace. Not to mention whether they would wear it or not, even if they did, they would most likely be resentful of you because of this.”
Feeling the movement on her face stop, Xianying slowly opened her eyes to avoid the image of the person in the mirror. She waved her hand to let Jing Yu and Xiangyu go out to see if Yinzhen was ready. Ever since she decided to teach the Fourth Prince, Xianying would accompany him to wake up and read at dawn every day. Although she wanted to take him to Cining Palace to pay respects, she did not allow him to rest. It would not be too late to order someone to help him tidy up at this time.
Seeing the two of them leave the inner hall, Xianying waved at Granny Cui and said,""Momo, don't be anxious. BenGong's actions also have a deeper meaning. In the middle of the month, I heard you say that the Grand Empress Dowager's body was not feeling well these days.”
Seeing her master order Jing Yu and Xiang Yu to go out, she thought that she had something important to tell her in detail. She did not expect it to be such a reply. However, since Xianying did not say it clearly, Nanny Cui had no choice but to bow and receive the order to find an outer robe for her master.
Sitting in the main hall of Jing Ren Palace, Xianying was wearing a light blue dress on top of the palace dress. Although the outer dress was not very exquisite, it set off Xianying's gentle and beautiful temperament. Looking at the concubines standing in the hall who could pay their respects to the two old masters in the palace, Xianying had a deeper feeling about the evil feudal imperial power. There were so many people who already had the status to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace, and there were only a few people who had no chance to see her in their lifetime.
He raised his hand and looked at the four concubines that His Highness was standing on. Because of his son, there were some historical records of them. Except for Consort De, who had not come yet because of her heavy body and the lack of fetal qi, the other three concubines had all arrived. Standing at the end of the three was Consort Rong Ma Jia. It was recorded in history that she was a concubine who entered the palace earlier than Consort Hui. However, it was not until the 20th year of Kangxi that she was promoted to the position of consort with Consort De. After that, there was no promotion.
Consort Rong, who was not very young, was dressed in a dark brown imperial dress. She gave off an indifferent temperament that could see through the world. Coupled with her fair face that did not look too old, she was not hidden in the crowd of imperial concubines. Consort Rong, who had five sons and one daughter, only had the third son, Yin Zhi, and the third daughter.
Standing above Consort Rong was Consort Rong Guo Luoluo. She had a straightforward personality when she saw people smile. It was obvious from the gossip she had when she entered Jingren Palace. If one were to say that the two old masters liked Consort Rong the most in the harem, it would be this Consort Rong Guo Luoluo. In the 18th year of Kangxi, she gave birth to the fifth prince, Yinqi, and was soon sent to the Empress Dowager Xiaohui to raise him.
Xiaozhuang, who made the palace feel a little guilty about Xiaohui, and Kangxi, who was a filial person, both valued her very much. They let her stay in the palace even when Consort De was the most favored. Perhaps it was because the Fifth Prince was sent to the Ciren Palace when she was young that Guo Luoluo doted on the Ninth Prince, who was born later. His bright eyes sized up Consort Yi's face. If one were to ask why the later Eighth Prince was able to do this when his physical family was not strong... The Ninth Prince, whose face had been the subject of many guesses in history, had a great deal of credit for being able to occupy a sufficient weight among the nine dragons.
Xianying, who was already in the mood to let Yinzhen fight for that position, wondered if she should befriend the mother who gave birth to the strange Ninth Prince. Because the only person who was close to Yinzhen in the future was the Thirteenth Prince, Xianying did not expect all the princes to like Yinzhen, but she did not want him to only have one playmate when he was young.
Perhaps it was because Guo Luoluo had been thinking for a long time, but even the straightforward Consort Yi could not keep the smile on her face. It was Consort Hui, who had been dissatisfied with Xianying since yesterday, who came out to help Consort Yi and said,"Imperial Noble Consort, I don't know why you called us here today. If there's nothing else, it's better to let the sisters go back and tidy up.”
Although she knew that Consort Hui did not mean to help her out of the predicament, Consort Yi still nodded slightly gratefully at her. She did not know that just by looking at Guo Luoluo a few more times, she had given Consort Hui a chance to be on good terms like in history. However, even if she knew, Xianying would still think of other ways to win over Consort Yi.
Xianying looked at Consort Hui, who was dressed in indigo imperial robes, standing up again without any rules. She really doubted her intelligence. However, her attitude really allowed Xianying to find the main reason why Yin Huan, the eldest son of the emperor, did those stupid things.
She didn't argue with Consort Hui. It was getting late. Xianying gave Nanny Cui a look and watched as she went to the main hall. Taking advantage of this time, Xianying said to the concubines,"Today, BenGong called everyone to Jing Ren Palace for something. I think you should know that the Empress Dowager's body has been somewhat unwell these days. A few days ago, because of the Eighth Gege's matter, the Tong family also helped BenGong find many divine doctors, but they were unable to enter the inner palace to diagnose due to the palace rules. However, even so, there was still a divine doctor who left a secret recipe that allowed the Eighth Gege to be safe until now. Yesterday, the Emperor also called for the imperial doctor to diagnose, saying that her body was still a little weak, but it had indeed improved greatly. Thinking about it, if it continued like this, there would be no major problems during the whole year.”
The concubines listened to Xianying's words and were very curious. The credit of curing the Empress Dowager was quite great, so why would Tong Jia's invite them to share the credit? This matter concerned the Empress Dowager, so even if Concubine Hui had a problem with her brain, she did not dare to say much.
Just as the main hall of Jing Ren Palace was in silence, Nanny Cui came in with a group of palace maids holding light-colored outer garments. They stood on both sides of the concubines standing in the hall. Nanny Cui also presented a set of outer garments to Xianying and said,"Imperial noble consort niangniang's clothes have been brought over.”
Xianying waved her hand and silently instructed Granny Cui. She took the outer garment that Granny Cui had handed over and opened it. She stood up and looked at the outer garment that everyone had in their hands and said,"This outer garment is the reason why BenGong came to find you today. The prescription that the divine doctor gave to Eight Gege was one word-clean. BenGong also doesn't know much about these medical matters. I only heard from the Hershey family that each of us has dirt that the eyes can't see. It won't affect healthy people, but if you have some minor illness, they will take the opportunity to aggravate the person's condition.”
Hearing Xianying's words, Concubine Yi, because her Fifth Prince was with the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager would go to the Empress Dowager's side to wait on her every day, if the filth was really brought back to the palace, then what should Yinqi do? Holding his outer robe, he quickly came to Xianying and asked anxiously,"Is there a way to clean up this filth?”
Seeing Consort Yi like this, Xianying thought that she was worried about the Empress Dowager who loved her so much, so she had a better impression of her. She smiled faintly and said,"It's not difficult to remove the filth because the filth is mostly in the places where we come into contact with things outside, like on our clothes. We only need to use boiling water to heat it for a while and the filth will be gone.”
Concubine Rong, who had been silent at the side, heard Xianying's words and asked as if she had heard the main point,"If what Imperial Noble Consort says is so, what use is this bestowed robe?”
Xianying was relieved to explain the bacteria that all the sensible children in the future knew about. She looked up at the sky outside and saw that there was still some time. She said,"If you want this patient to recover well, not only must you take medicine on time and take the pulse, but it is also important to control the cleanliness of the people who come into contact with the patient. These clothes were made overnight by BenGong. Although it cannot be said to be cleaner than everyone's new clothes, it is more convenient to wash them outside like BenGong. This is a good thing for the sick Empress Dowager and us.”
On one side, Xianying was still educating the concubines about cleanliness. On the other side, Kang Xi, who was dressed in a golden dragon robe, was leaning on the bed with the Empress Dowager and listening to the reports of the servants below.
