" Yinzhen pays his respects to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. The Empress Dowager is lucky, and the Emperor is lucky." Little Yinzhen, who was wearing a bluestone coat, was brought into the hall by a palace maid. He kowtowed to Xiaozhuang and Kangxi, who were sitting on the wooden brick bed.
Xiaozhuang liked children who were smart and knew the rules the most. Otherwise, she would not have chosen Kangxi, who had the lowest status among Shunzhi's children, to succeed the throne. At this time, she was very satisfied with Yinzhen's courtesy, but she did not show too much smile on her face and said,"Fourth Prince, hurry up and come to your mother's place. It's been a while since I last saw you. Imperial Noble Consort should also bring Yinzhen to this widow's place more often.”
Xianying didn't know why Xiaozhuang's words seemed to be a warning to her every time, but today, she had the intention to please him. How could this little bit of grievance make her panic like a woman? She waved her handkerchief and turned to Xiaozhuang."The Empress Dowager is right. In the future, ChenQie will bring YinZhen here every day.”
The Empress Dowager's words were heard clearly by the Empress Dowager. Xiaohui, who rarely found someone to talk to in the palace, quickly helped Xianying up and poked Xianying's forehead unhappily,""BenGong can see that you are someone who knows how to climb up the social ladder. Once in the Grand Empress Dowager's palace, you threw BenGong outside the palace walls.”
The Empress Dowager rarely spoke to her since she entered the palace. She had only heard about her from others. She was said to be stupid and only thought about the Emperor. If one or two people said this, Xiaohui would not have felt it. However, in the years that she had entered the palace, Xiaohui had never heard anyone say that she had changed. That was why Xiaohui was so friendly with her when he heard that Xianying could speak Mongolian.
It had to be said that the predecessors planted the tree and the later generations took advantage of it. Tong Jia's previous comments in the palace did not actually cause too many obstacles for Xianying. Except for Xiaozhuang, who was slightly angry with her because Kangxi was too indulgent and trusted the Tong family, he did not like or dislike her.
After hearing Xiaohui's words, Xiaozhuang turned his head and saw Xianying nervously fawning over Xiaohui. He knew that he could not go too far. After all, there were still three other imperial concubines sitting in the hall. Xiaozhuang just did not want to hand over the power of the palace to Xianying when the Tong family was in power, which would make the Tong family gain more power. However, the status of the palace had to be returned to Xianying. If he did not give her face before the new year, how would the imperial concubine convince the public when the power was returned?
"Alright, alright, there's no need to show off your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's deep love in front of this widow. The two imperial physicians have been waiting outside for half a day. Imperial Noble Consort, take them to find the medical book first.”It wasn't that Xiaozhuang didn't like their playful appearance. After all, it was rare for Xiaohui to laugh like this in the palace for a long time. However, these things were always long-term. The imperial doctor who was waiting outside was not young, so he said so.
Since the Empress Dowager had said so, Xianying had no choice but to obey. She bowed to the three big shots in the hall and excused herself. Before she left, she saw Yinzhen staring into her eyes and waved at him to get close to her."Shen 'er, be good and accompany the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to have a meal. The Empress Mother will bring the two imperial physicians back to Jing Ren Palace to retrieve the medical book and speak for a while before coming to fetch you back.”
Ever since he had moved to the back hall of Jingren Palace, Yinzhen had never been separated from Xianying. Even at night, he would sleep with his sister. He had never felt this way before. Even after hearing Xianying's words of persuasion, his eyes were slightly red. However, after half a month of teaching, Yinzhen finally held back his tears and bowed to bid farewell to Xianying.
Seeing Little Yinzhen like this, Xianying felt a little uncomfortable, but the most important thing now was to let Xiaozhuang mention the change of the jade archive to Kangxi. She reached out and gently rubbed Little Yinzhen's soft head a few times, avoided the eyes of others, and secretly made a fist gesture to Little Yinzhen, then once again bowed and left the main hall of Cining Palace.
If Xiaozhuang and Kangxi wanted to know about everything in the palace, they could not hide it from them. The mother-son relationship between Yinzhen and Xianying had become so good. Kangxi heard about it by chance, but he did not have the time to stare at Tong Jiashi, who had always been obedient. He watched Xianying leave the palace with a rare look of doubt.
Xiaohui, who had never cared much about the affairs of the other palaces, saw Yinzhen's reluctance to part with Xianying. Because of his good feelings for Lady Tongjia, he naturally thought that Xianying would treat Yinzhen as her own. Although there were many concubines in the palace who had no children, compared to Xiaohui who had no children because he was not liked by the former Emperor, Xianying was more pitiful.
After all, Xiaohui was also there when Xiaozhuang told Kangxi about the incident. The shocking proof made people shudder. It was unknown whether it was a blessing or a curse for Xianying to meet the divine doctor and save the Eighth Princess 'life.
Retracting his chaotic thoughts, Xiaohui looked at Little Yinzhen, who was still staring blankly at Xianying as she walked out of the palace door. His heart softened, and he stood up and walked to Yinzhen's side. He bent over and held his little hand, patting him in comfort and persuading him,"Fourth Elder Brother, you don't need to be like this. Seeing you like this, it seems that Imperial Noble Consort is also very concerned about you. Since she said that she would come to pick you up and return to the palace, she will definitely come.”
Little Yinzhen had calmed down when he saw Xianying clench her fist and cheer him on as she walked out of the hall. He was only reminded of what Xianying had said to him when she taught him," Showing weakness appropriately can bring you unexpected benefits." The palace door that had just stood there and watched Xianying leave did not move.
When he heard the Empress Dowager's words of comfort, although he did not fully understand the full meaning of those words, it made Little Yinzhen understand the power of Xianying. He raised his little face with slightly red eyes and looked at the Empress Dowager. Little Yinzhen said in a slightly nasal voice,"Empress Dowager, you don't need to call me Fourth Prince. Empress Mother likes you and Yinzhen likes you too. You can call me Yinzhen or Shen 'er like Empress Mother.”
If the empress dowager was in the modern era, she would have known that this kind of voice was called the 'cute voice.' Such a pure and innocent voice could make countless people go through fire and water. Even if Xiaohui had a fifth prince in the palace, he could not stand the little Yinzhen's cuteness. Seeing him nod his head with a fist after he finished speaking, Xiaohui was completely captured by the little guy.
When Xianying was present, the Third Consort did not dare to speak because what she said was related to Xiaozhuang. However, now that she had been ordered to do something, the three people who had been tormented by Xianying for the whole morning did not seem to have any credit at all. How could they not have other thoughts in their hearts? Consort Rong had also been favored by Kangxi and had seen everything in the palace. Naturally, she knew that the things that had happened in Jingren Palace had been known by the three masters, so she did not think about it.
However, Consort Hui and Consort Yi, one of them was resentful of Xianying because of the trivial matters at the eight concubines 'one-month-old banquet, while the other was young after all. Seeing that the Empress Dowager was very concerned about Yinzhen, she was afraid that this would take away the Empress Dowager's love for Yinqi. The two of them looked at each other thoughtfully. Consort Yi nodded slightly at Consort Hui and said to Kangxi Xiaozhuang on the wooden brick bed,"ChenQie pays her respects to the emperor and grand empress dowager, emperor. The Empress Dowager is auspicious."
Xiaozhuang was quite fond of Guo Luoluo. Because the palace had always looked like a weak willow facing the wind, where was the temperament of a girl of the Eight Banners. This made Guo Luoluo enter Xiaozhuang's eyes. Seeing her come forward to greet him, he raised his hand slightly to her with that loving face that had never changed in ten thousand years and said,"Kaka."
"ChenQie thanks the Empress Dowager." Guo Luoluo stood up and looked at the Empress Dowager sitting on the throne without being noticed. Seeing that the Empress Dowager usually treated her well because of Fifth Prince Yinqi, she didn't even give her a look at this time. In her heart, she secretly regarded Fourth Prince as an obstacle to threaten the Fifth Prince's favor.
Consort Yi thought that no one had noticed her actions, but in this palace where even a strand of hair could transmit information, how could Xiaozhuang, who had long trained his extraordinary eyesight, not see her self-concealed eyes? The women in the palace had never stopped fighting for a moment, but Xiaozhuang would not allow anyone to have any thoughts on the prince.
Guo Luoluo was about to turn around and bow to the Empress Dowager and mention Yinqi, who was already two years old, but Xiaozhuang stopped him."Consort Yi must be tired from being busy with the harem these days.”
Guo Luoluo would have been able to hear the displeasure and warning in Xiaozhuang's words, but now her mind was filled with Yinqi, who had been sent to Ciren Palace not long after she was born. Although she had heard Xiaozhuang's words, she still did not think much about it. She only thought of the words of concern and said with a smile on her face,"Many thanks for the Empress Dowager's concern for ChenQie. With you and the Empress Dowager in charge of the affairs of the harem, how can we be tired if not many major events occur?”
This reply made Xiaozhuang choke for a moment. After all, in the rear palace, other than the empress dowager, everyone had been taught by the palace maids. Even the palace maids who had been selected into the palace were no exception. No one would misunderstand her words like this. Just as he was about to say something to her, he thought that it was not the time to return the imperial noble consort's palace power, so he could only hold back his words and say to the people in the hall with a tired expression,"This widow is also tired after a long afternoon, you can all leave.”
If Consort Yi still didn't know that there was a problem with Xiaozhuang's words, then how could she have sent Yinqi, who was born not long ago, into Ciren Palace for the sake of her current consort position? If she didn't become one of the four consorts because she had only entered the palace for a short time, how could she succeed?
" Empress Dowager," Consort Yi wanted to say something, but Su Ma La Gu, who had appeared out of nowhere, bowed and invited her,""Yifei niangniang, our master's body has yet to recover, please follow this servant.”
Seeing this, Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong did not dare to go forward and speak. They bowed to the three of them and left the hall together.
As soon as they left, before Kang Xi could ask what was wrong, Little Yinzhen ran to Xiaozhuang with his short legs and took out an exquisite porcelain bottle from the pouch at his waist with a worried expression...
