"The emperor has his own way of educating his children. Although the teacher I recommend is a talented person, he may not be suitable for the eldest brother. The emperor knows the reason for this best." Mingzhu smiled calmly, "Why do you say this, Your Majesty?
Don’t you care about your elder brother’s homework?”
Aling'a smiled and said nothing. When he saw Suo'etu over there, he got rid of the compliments and entanglements of several colleagues and left angrily. Mingzhu and the others also walked behind. Neither of them spoke, but a few people around him murmured.
Considering the current situation in the harem, the reason why the emperor only gave the little Hesheli family the title of nobleman seems to be to firmly hold the status of the imperial concubine. Now that Concubine Wen is also living in seclusion, it seems that no one can shake the Tong family anymore.
.
Others say that the imperial concubine has her fourth elder brother under her knees, and her biological mother, Concubine De, is the favorite of the two palaces. Looking at the current situation, the concubine's dignity is unshakable, while concubine De is favored by her. Perhaps she is attached to concubine De, who is from a humble background.
After marrying the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine was honored and the concubine was favored. The two of them joined forces to firmly hold the emperor and the harem in their hands.
Mingzhu and Aling'a looked at each other. Nowadays, no one of their families is better than the other. Maybe Suo'etu and the others have a prince who is better than them, but Concubine Hui and Concubine Wen are gradually getting better.
The harem lost power, and Tong Guowei's arrogance became more and more arrogant. However, Wu Ya, the concubine with a pure family background, had enjoyed great success and smooth sailing all her life. Unknowingly, she had become glorious and shining.
"Ming Xiang, I'll take my leave first." A Ling'a smiled meaningfully and left in a hurry. Mingzhu was about to leave when he saw Gao Shiqi, a bachelor at the Hanlin Academy, talking to the eunuch of the inner court. He waited for a while, and Gao Shiqi came over.
When he saw Mingzhu, he bowed respectfully. Mingzhu smiled and asked if he wanted to give lectures again.
Gao Shiqi did not hide anything and answered straightforwardly: "Long live the Lord, he asked me to find some newly released essay collections for Empress Dowager De. I searched for a few days and found nothing suitable. It has been delayed for several days."
As an errand, please ask the father-in-law to send a message to come in and accuse him, and we will have to look for him again."
Mingzhu frowned slightly and asked, "Concubine De is still studying now?"
Gao Shiqi said: "My queen has been eager to learn for a long time. During her tour to the south last year, I was ordered to submit a book recording ancient legends for my queen to read. It is said that it is for telling stories to the fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother."
Mingzhu had always heard that Concubine De loved reading and writing. In her early years, she thought it was just a boudoir trick to make the emperor like her. Who knew that she had been reading for so many years? Looking at the quiet and gentle person, she didn't have any bookishness. However, after seeing her several times in Jiangning, Suzhou,
The emperor's words and deeds when traveling are indeed those of a person with ink in his belly. Considering that a palace maid can have such cultivation, it is no wonder that she has been favored for more than ten years.
"Sir, I have something important to do, so I have to go ahead." Gao Shiqi saluted politely and left in a hurry.
Mingzhu came back all the way full of worries. When he entered the house, he heard the news that the young mistress was happy and that it was a good thing to have children and grandchildren. He was also happy for his daughter-in-law. However, when he heard his family asking him if he had seen his son, he realized that Rongruo had gone somewhere.
, I didn’t go home yesterday, and I’m not going home today either.
Mrs. Mingzhu congratulated her husband on having another grandson. Today's daughter-in-law is much healthier than Lu's back then, which is a good sign for the prosperity of the family. She happily prepared to go to her natal family to announce the good news, but the daughter-in-law said: "There is no need to go out of the way to announce the good news."
, my brother just had a son, and before he had time to congratulate him, he was planning to go back to his parents’ house with Rongruo, but he hasn’t been at home for the past two days, and I couldn’t talk.”
When Rong Ruo was mentioned, Mingzhu became angry and left his wife and daughter-in-law to go to the study alone. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very embarrassed. The young lady quickly admitted her mistake to her mother-in-law and said that she said something she shouldn't have said. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very harmonious. Mrs. Mingzhu He also advised her: "It has nothing to do with you. They are two stubborn cows. It's no use breaking your heart."
Thinking that it was rare for her daughter-in-law to want to go back to her parents' home, she sent her servants to find out where her son was. Naturally, the first place to go was to Shen Wan's private house, but she didn't expect that the person who went there came back and said that the uncle was not there and the young lady was not there. Mrs. Mingzhu said bitterly: "She must be here. That little bitch must be hiding it from you."
The young lady felt sad, but she wisely advised her mother-in-law: "Don't be angry, mother-in-law. Maybe she is really not here. He will always come back in a few days."
Sure enough, the young lady's generosity paid off. The servants finally found their uncle in Nanyuan on the outskirts of Beijing. Rongruo was sent there on an errand, but he didn't tell his family, and Mingzhu didn't pay attention. Rongruo even sent someone to take him. Having said that, after finishing the errands in a few days, I will accompany her back to her parents' house.
This made the young lady satisfied. From time to time she thought of Shen Wan's situation in the private residence, and knew in her heart that as long as she secured her position as the eldest young lady of the Nalan Mansion, even a few more Zhang Wan and Li Wan could not take away her husband.
A few days later, Mrs. Mingzhu came into the palace to announce the good news to Concubine Hui. She happened to meet Suo'etu and asked for permission to enter the palace to see Mr. Ping. It was said that the noble had a low status and could not see his family as often as Concubine Hui and others. But after all, Mr. Ping had a different background. Suo'etu's status was different, and people inside and outside the palace all showed their favor.
When Chu Xiu Palace came to ask for the forehead picture, Tong Bin was not at home. Ping Guiren greeted her uncle. When she walked in front of the main hall, she sighed unconvincingly: "Even though you comfort me in every possible way, uncle, I still feel extremely uncomfortable." Oh, how come we are both sisters, one is a concubine, the other is a concubine, and I am just a noble? Those low-born people in the palace thought they could be on an equal footing with me. The day before yesterday, that An Gui man was bossing me around. Woolen cloth."
Suo'etu only said softly: "Your Majesty, please be careful in your words and deeds."
Ping Guiren glanced at her. Perhaps he had known since she was a child that she would succeed her sister in the palace. She was born with a arrogant and arrogant temper. She was full of momentum at a young age. Now she even sneered: "Uncle, you are too worried, Tong Concubine." She is a dull gourd, you don’t have to be afraid even if you shout and kill her in front of her.”
Suo'etu remained silent and followed his niece into the side hall to talk. He talked about some important rules and taboos in the palace, and even told her: "The imperial concubine has a bad temper. Don't make her unhappy if you offend anyone. The emperor has treated the emperor for so many years." The concubine is tolerant again and again, as if there is room for change in everything. But it is different for others. Concubine Wen of Xianfu Palace is the best example. Now that the noble lady has entered the palace for the first time, she must be cautious and understand the holy will. good."
"My family often says that the emperor has a deep affection for my sister. Although I have no impression of my sister, after all, they are biological sisters, and the emperor must look up to me. Uncle, you said that this noble position is the emperor's last resort. I believe it, but I am more Understand, you have to earn your own future after entering the palace." Ping Guiren's beautiful face that is very different from her age is full of confidence, and she smiles arrogantly, "Defei Rongfei can climb up from palace maid, I thought What an amazing person, you can only see so much after entering the palace. Don't worry, uncle, I have lived here not long ago, and I saw it a few days ago. Yongshou Palace is a good place. When you come back to see me next time, go to the main hall over there. Sit down."
"Please be careful in everything." Suo'etu was cautious, thinking that her niece was young and vigorous, so she was naturally different from other concubines, and she was born with unparalleled beauty. As long as she could get the favor of the saint, her future would be limitless. Now the prince has no mother.
With support, all the concubines in the harem also had princes, so the situation was not optimistic for him. Yuqing Palace was never afraid of violent storms, but it was afraid of the intangible and intangible pillow wind.
However, because Concubine Wen used medicine on the emperor, the Empress Dowager secretly ordered the emperor to be banned for a while. It happened to be the time when the new couple entered the palace, and the Empress Dowager had not let go. The emperor was not in a hurry for his own sake, and had no affection for the newcomers.
, they have been left behind without asking anything since they entered the palace. Others are fine, and the noble lady must not be able to sit still, but after all, she has been well-educated at home, and she will never do anything noisy, so she can think of other ways to attract the emperor.
Note, it's not difficult.
It's just that young people tend to think things too simply. Although Ping Guiren is not much older than the prince, she is a serious aunt after all. She thinks that no one will stop her from visiting the prince in Yuqing Palace, but she doesn't know the rules of Yuqing Palace.
, without the emperor's order or the prince's invitation, no one can enter or leave without permission. The first time Ping Guiren entered the palace, he encountered a snag, and this was the matter.
On this day, Lan Qi came out of Qianqing Palace and passed by Yuqing Palace. She saw four or five people gathered in front of the gate there. She just stopped and took a casual look, but someone hurried over there and asked her respectfully.
Concubine De said: "Can you please tell me? I really can't let Mr. Ping enter Yuqing Palace, but I don't want to believe it."
The emperor will not openly tell the world about the rules of the Yuqing Palace. No one in the world can come to the Forbidden City anyway. It is considered a hidden rule in the inner palace. However, Pinggui was born into a noble family and should not know the ways here. Lan Qi does not want to get into trouble.
She also didn't want to deliberately teach the little Hesheli family because of her status as a concubine. Ping Guiren had a special status. Aunt Sumala had told her early in the morning to stay away.
Lan Qi wanted to push away, but when Gui Ping saw the scene, he seemed to be unconvinced by the eunuchs who asked Concubine De to suppress her. He walked over unsteadily, flicked the handkerchief in his hand, and bowed in an ungrateful manner.
, then he said with a smile: "These slaves are really good. Just talk to me and I, and they will come to work for you no matter what you do."
Lan Qi smiled politely, but exchanged a few perfunctory greetings, and did not mention the matter of Yuqing Palace. Ping Guiren also understood the situation and did not find it difficult to find trouble in this matter, but he also asked rudely: "Your Majesty, you are from Qianqing Palace."
?I heard that the emperor is busy with government affairs these days, so I would like to persuade the emperor to take care of his dragon body."
"It's natural." Lan Qi responded. Ziyu beside her was clever and said that the master should go back to take tonics without delay. The group was about to leave, but Ping Guiren followed up and said, "I heard that Concubine De's love is
I am not very talented in reading, and I also like to write and draw at home. I wonder if I can come to Yonghe Palace to sit down and ask you for advice?"
Lan Qi knew in her heart that no matter why Mr. Ping wanted to visit Yonghe Palace, it would not be a friendly gesture. Although Yonghe Palace should also treat guests, she did not want to have any contact with Mr. Ping in private. She guessed that she
He has a difficult temper, so if you are polite, he will climb up the pole and don't interact with him anyway. He simply said sternly: "I will go to Cining Palace to serve the Empress Dowager. Now I have to take a rest when I go back. I can't accompany you."
You talk, I will put tea in Yonghe Palace next time and invite you to sit down."
Lan Qi rarely calls herself "I" in front of others, and she just appeared out of nowhere. After saying this, she didn't think much, took Ziyu and others and left. When they were far away, Ziyu muttered: "Your Majesty, this noble man
It seems that you don’t understand the importance of dignity, but you are just paying respect with your mouth, and there is no one in your eyes. The eyes you look at are sideways, it is so rude, how come a young lady from a noble family behaves like this?"
"Don't gossip in front of others." Lan Qi warned, but she thought in her heart that there have been countless foolish kings in the past dynasties, and those so-called sons of destiny are still like this. It is not surprising that there are several such young ladies in aristocratic families. Think about Concubine Wen's own life
I was brought up by my family when I was little, and I didn't grow up the way my family imagined. Isn't that the truth?
Ping Guiren was treated coldly everywhere, and she was very angry. When she returned to Chuxiu Palace, Tong Bin politely invited her to drink tea, but she was thrown off.
After the flower was ready, Ping Guiren came over again unwilling to be left alone. Speaking of Jue Chan Gui Ren, he asked arrogantly: "I heard that the most beautiful one in the palace is Jue Chan Gui Chan? Sister, is it true that we can't go to Xianfu Palace?"
But why do you ask noble Jue Chan to do tricks? I have been in the palace for several days, and I haven't seen the imperial concubine or that beautiful nobleman yet."
Tong Bin didn't think much about it, and said that Concubine Wen was having a baby, and the child was too valuable. She was afraid that the palace people's birth date would conflict with the child, so she didn't let everyone visit. She thought that saying this would stop Ping Guiren from being curious.
As soon as she turned around, she ran to hang out in front of the Xianfu Palace. Although she didn't enter, the Xianfu Palace was now being watched by the superiors. In the evening, the Queen Mother sent someone to tell Tong Bin to watch the people in her palace, saying that Concubine Wen
The fetus is very important and no one should disturb it.
The Empress Dowager put pressure on Tong Bin, and Chengqian Palace felt that it was embarrassing because of her sister's carelessness. The imperial concubine called Tong Bin to reprimand her again, teaching her the dignity of the head of a palace.
Tong Bin was inexplicably implicated and felt aggrieved. She couldn't help but said to her sister: "She is Queen Hesheli's biological sister after all. I can't be too serious with her, and we live under the same roof. It's a stalemate."
What’s the point?”
The imperial concubine repeatedly said that her sister was useless and blamed her for having her own dignity. So what about Queen Hesheli's sister? She was not the queen herself. If she really valued her, how could the emperor only give her the status of a nobleman? Such a meal
Tong Bi was told a lesson, and if something happened again in Chu Xiu Palace and the Queen Mother asked her to intervene, she would definitely not be lenient. Tong Bi withdrew helplessly, so angry that she even took the wrong direction home.
Tong Bin angrily walked in the wrong direction, but happened to meet Concubine De who was going to Cining Palace. Lan Qi saw that her face was full of displeasure, so she asked what was wrong. Tong Bi knew that Concubine De was kind-hearted, and the two of them
While walking together, she unknowingly expressed her grievances, saying that she couldn't control Ping Guiren and it would be great if Ping Guiren could be moved away, but she didn't dare to speak to the imperial concubine.
Lan Qi had no choice but to persuade her: "Young nobles live in Chuxiu Palace. If you move out without dignity, you will inevitably cause some gossip. My sister, can you bear with it any longer?"
