After the fourth elder brother's ceremony of arresting Zhou was over, all the concubines knew that the emperor would definitely stay in Chuxiu Palace tonight, and they all hurriedly stood up and left with winks, and then took the maids and nuns who were waiting around them and returned
In his own palace.
When Concubine Tong stepped out of the Chuxiu Palace, she clenched her fists and left the palace people far behind her, and walked quickly towards the Chengqian Palace.
As soon as she entered the main hall of Chengqian Palace where she lived, Concubine Tong seemed to have gone crazy. She ran to the table and stretched out her arms, and handed over all the glass vases, teapots, cups and other things placed on it.
It swept down.
After a "ding ding dong dong" sound, the originally clean ground suddenly became a mess.
Light yellow tea mixed with tea leaves spilled all over the carpet, and broken porcelain and glass shards were also splashed everywhere.
Concubine Tong's angry look scared the maids standing on both sides of the pillar into silence, and they didn't even dare to go up and stop her.
Nanny Tong, who was older and much slower than Concubine Tong, had just hurried to the main hall when she saw her master's collapse and madness. Her brows instantly furrowed and she hurriedly waved to greet a few people.
Little palace maid, please go out quickly.
When the little maids saw Nanny Tong coming in, they hurriedly bowed obediently and bowed before leaving. The last person who walked out of the palace door carefully stretched out his hand to close the door.
"My Lady, please calm down." Seeing that there was no one in the hall, Grandma Tong rushed forward and stretched out her arms to stop Concubine Tong.
However, Concubine Tong's eyes were frighteningly red at the moment, and she felt that the anger in her body was still raging and had not been vented at all.
She pushed Nanny Tong's obstructive body aside, walked to the book shelf, and threw whatever she caught in her hand to the ground.
Because of this violent movement, the two small handfuls of neatly combed hair with delicate jade hairpins and silk flowers came loose, and a few long strands of hair hung down from her ears and stuck to her neck.
Concubine Tong seemed more and more crazy.
"What kind of rubbish are all these? Do you think I am a rag collector? Send them all to this palace?" Concubine Tong shouted at the top of her lungs.
Then he picked up a jade Ruyi of excellent quality that was placed diagonally on the ancient shelf. He raised it high and threw it to the floor tiles. With a "bang" sound, the good jade broke into several pieces.
A small section of it rolled to Nanny Tong's feet.
"My Lady, please stop quickly. These are all gifts from the Emperor!!" When Grandma Tong saw that Yu Ruyi was broken, she was so frightened that her words broke. She quickly stepped forward and stretched out her arms to pull Concubine Tong's body away.
Give me a tight hug.
"Obviously I am her direct cousin, why does he send all the good things to Chuxiu Palace? Why?" Concubine Tong roared, tears overflowing from her eyes and squirting wantonly on both cheeks.
flowing.
At this time, Tong Yurou's whole mind was filled with anger, but her heart ached with soreness.
Even if Grandma Tong tried her best, she couldn't stop a crazy young woman.
Concubine Tong saw the worry in the eyes of the nanny who was standing in front of her, blocking the way. She didn't take it seriously, and still stretched out her hand to grab the Bogu shelf.
During the fierce dispute between the master and the servant, a slender rosewood box placed on the shelf was knocked off. By coincidence, it happened to be the switch and hit the ground. There was only a "click" sound.
The sound of the switch rang, and then the lid popped up, revealing a bright yellow imperial edict.
Concubine Tong was stunned for a moment, then she immediately bent down and pulled out the imperial edict from the wooden box, turned around, broke away from Nanny Tong and walked towards the soft couch not far away.
Also placed on the couch were the scissors and needlework that Concubine Tong used to embroider and make female scarves.
Aunt Tong was startled and immediately realized what her master wanted to do. She quickly chased after her and snatched the small scissors from her hand that she wanted to cut into pieces of the imperial concubine decree.
One of them grabbed the scissors, and the other tried desperately to cut the imperial edict into pieces. By accident, the sharp scissors cut the cuffs of Grandma Tong. Concubine Tong was also caught, and her fair and slender fingers were also cut by the scissors.
It was cut and bleeding.
There was a pain in her hand, and Concubine Tong was so stimulated that she suddenly woke up.
She blinked her eyes numbly and looked down at the crumpled imperial edict in her hand. She didn't know what to say for a moment.
Taking advantage of Concubine Tong's daze, Nanny Tong hurriedly took the imperial edict from her hand, smoothed it carefully, rolled it up, and placed it in a wooden box. She fastened the lid tightly, then stood on tiptoes to open the red sandalwood box.
Put it on the top shelf of the Bogu shelf.
The wound on Concubine Tong's hand was actually quite big, but she didn't seem to care about it at this time. She just sat on the soft couch with her head bowed and her back slumped, and slowly cut her blood along with the blood dripping from her fingers.
The snow-green palace dress she was wearing was stained a little red.
The entire hall was surprisingly quiet. Nanny Tong used all her strength to suppress the anger that emerged in her heart. She walked slowly and steadily to Concubine Tong and said:
"My dear, are you going to cause trouble like that? Things can never be hidden in the Forbidden City."
"Everyone in the palace knows that today is the birthday of Fourth Elder Brother and Concubine Jing. You walked out of Chuxiu Palace and smashed Chengqian Palace when you came back. Do you want outsiders to see our joke?"
Concubine Tong closed her eyes in silence, lowered her head, and listened quietly without speaking.
Grandma Tong said a lot of words, but she saw that her master seemed to be deaf and had no feedback at all, and her heart couldn't help but grow cold.
The person she is loyal to is not Concubine Tong, but the entire Tong family.
She was not an ordinary slave in this palace, but Empress Xiao Kangzhang's trusted confidant during her lifetime. Even when she stood in front of Kangxi, she thought she was somewhat thin-faced. However, seeing Concubine Tong being so incapable of listening, she couldn't help but
I feel chilled.
"Empress, Chengqian Palace needs a little brother, and the Tong family also needs a little brother. If you really feel that the pressure of preparing for pregnancy is too great, then transfer Er Gege who lives in the backyard to the side hall in the front yard.
Come in." Nanny Tong said coldly.
When Concubine Tong heard this, something happened immediately.
She immediately raised her head and stared into Nanny Tong's eyes, and said word for word: "As long as I am Concubine Tong, don't even think about letting that bitch replace me."
"My cousin and I grew up together, and I am the one who has a childhood sweetheart relationship!"
"Do you really think that as long as you are a daughter of the Tong family, you can win the favor of your cousin? Dream on!" Concubine Tong threw the unembroidered handkerchief and sachet to the ground and shouted with tears.
Nanny Tong's eyes were lowered and her eyelids were half-closed. After Concubine Tong's anger had completely calmed down, she looked at her very calmly and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to advise you, no matter how deep the feelings are, you can't stand it."
It’s just a little bit of daily wear and tear.”
"After the affection between you and the Emperor is resolved, you will be nothing more than the Emperor's direct cousin. However, any daughter of the Tong family can be said to be the Emperor's direct cousin. Then by then, you will have a relationship with them.
What's the difference?"
"Don't be dissatisfied with the old slave's harsh words. Today, the old slave will let you understand the meaning of the family. Since you don't like the child born to the slave, then don't stop Tong Guiren from going to bed."
"Er Gege's status is low. After the prince is born in the future, he will still have to be raised under your knees. This is the same as what you gave birth to."
When Concubine Tong heard this, she was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. The hair all over her body stood up. She was so angry that her whole body trembled. She pointed at the palace door and shouted angrily: "I can obviously give birth on my own."
, why should you raise other people's children? Get out of here, get out!"
Seeing her master's appearance, Nanny Tong took another deep look at her, then turned around and left the hall.
After Concubine Tong was the only one left in the entire hall, her whole body seemed to have been drained of energy. She curled up into a ball on the soft couch and buried her pointed chin in her knees.
on, crying silently.
She didn't know what was wrong with her. She just felt that when she saw Chu Xiugong's picture of a loving mother, a filial son, a talented man and a beautiful woman, she felt like she was holding back a ball of evil fire, and she just wanted to destroy something.
She felt extremely confused. She didn't know what she was going to do next, and she didn't know why she wanted to smash Chengqian Palace like crazy.
She only felt that she was strangely powerful now, "wrong", "aggrieved" and "sensitive". Tong Yurou couldn't figure out whether she became like this after entering the palace, or whether she actually had this temperament.
people...
The noise in the front yard was very loud, and people in the backyard could naturally hear some noise.
A little palace maid in green clothes ran into the side hall. Seeing Tong Guiren still bowing his head while embroidering the screen, she hurriedly stepped forward and said: "My lord, I have put the clothes you made for Brother Si into a gift box."
Arrive at Chuxiu Palace."
"Well, that's good. The imperial concubine also knows that even if I, a concubine, want to give a good gift, I can't come up with anything good, so just giving her small clothes is a token of my aunt's gratitude.
Bar."
As Tong Guiren spoke, he flexibly tied the silk thread into a knot, then picked up the small scissors on the side and twisted the red silk thread into pieces.
"Little Master, when I came over from the front yard, I saw Grandma Tong walking out of the main hall with a livid face. I heard from an acquaintance of the sisters that it seemed that Da Gege and Grandma Tong were having a quarrel.
.”
The little palace maid Hongzhu picked up the embroidery shed, bent down and whispered to Tong Guiren.
"Ignore them." Little Tong said with a sarcastic smile on her lips.
Hongzhu has also been a confidant maid who has served Tong Guiren since she was a child. She knows that her little master was severely suppressed by his direct descendant Hesheli when he was in the Tong family, and she has no affection for Concubine Tong, her direct sister, but she still feels that this is a good thing for them.
It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Little Master, if Aunt Tong is willing to help us, then you will be able to go to bed soon, don't you hope?" Hong Zhu said excitedly.
Guiren Tong shook his head gently: "I don't expect that. It's not like you don't understand the eldest sister's temperament."
"If I were really pregnant right now, the baby would have to be carried to the front yard after birth. With my eldest sister's temperament, not only would I not be able to see the baby, I'm afraid it would be possible to leave the mother and keep the baby.
Right?" Xiao Tong shook his head and said mockingly.
"Isn't this possible?" When Hong Zhu heard his little master say this, he shouted in fright, and his eyes widened.
"Isn't this normal?"
"Now that Hongzhu has entered the palace, he should no longer be as innocent as he was at home."
"Ha~ Unless the eldest sister is really dead and there is no hope, the family's resources will never be spared by a concubine and supported by me, an unpopular little nobleman." Little Tong looked at it indifferently.
He looked at the window on the left and said softly.
Seeing that her mistress had no intention of competing for favor, Hong Zhu had no choice but to bow and prepare to go to the imperial dining room to pick up the meal.
After Hong Zhu left, Tong Gui slowly stood up and walked to the bed, opened the secret compartment and took out a white jade pendant tied with a red rope.
This is the only relic left to her by her aunt.
When she was at Tong's house, she and her aunt lived together in the small courtyard.
She is only one year older than Concubine Jing, and is already in her twenties this year.
The general election of the Eight Banners had been suspended for several years because of the war in the south. She originally thought that after her eldest sister entered the palace, she would be betrothed to someone else, and she could get out of the big fire pit of the Tong family as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, the clan elders regarded her as the second hope of the Tong family, and also trained her as a substitute for the eldest sister secretly.
In this life, she could only live in the shadow of her eldest sister. Little Tong leaned her body on the bedpost, slowly slid down and sat on the footrest under the bed, then rested the back of her head on the bedpost, and closed her eyes gently.
He groped carefully for the patterns on the jade pendant with his eyes open.
There used to be an aunt in the house, but after she passed away, there was no one in the world who could love her wholeheartedly.
Because there is no one else worth worrying about or worrying about, then naturally she has no one to fear...
Near noon, the golden sunlight shines on the two sisters through the clean glass windows. Even though their postures are different, they are both cold and miserable frustrated people...
Unlike Chengqian Palace, which is miserable and miserable, on the other side, in Chuxiu Palace on the west side, even if all the guests are gone, the atmosphere in the main hall is still lively and lively.
Yin Xiaozhen was taken away by Bai Lu and washed away all the red rouge he had put on his cheeks with water. When Xiao Si returned to the hall, he saw E Niang and his two brothers lying around on the soft bed.
The little doll on the couch teases.
Xiao Si quickly urged Bai Lu to carry him to the soft couch.
"Uh, Liang, who is she?" Xiao Si put his little head next to Ke Jing and asked curiously.
After being a little brother for so long, this was the first time that Yin Xiaozhen saw a baby that was smaller than himself. He stretched out his little hand to touch Ke Jing's plump, white and tender face.
The curly hair hanging down by Yin Xiaozhen made her ears itch. Xiao Kejing got a little impatient, so she suddenly raised her short arm like a white lotus root and stretched out Xiao Si's fleshy hand.
He was photographed aside, then turned his little head to one side and shouted "Ahhh" at the familiar prince brother.
Kangxi, who was sitting on an armchair drinking tea, saw how lively they were and got up and walked over. He happened to hear Xiaosi's question and casually replied: "She is your fourth sister, just like you."
He’s also a mistress.”
Hearing the words "I am also a mistress like you", Yin Xiaozhen was stunned for a moment, and saw E Niang still looking at the person who patted his hand with a smile.
Xiao Si felt aggrieved instantly. With tears in his eyes, he grabbed the corner of Qingyan's clothes and shouted anxiously: "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot to... yeah, grab Si Si's name."
Before anyone could react, Yin Xiaozhen closed her eyes and cried loudly. When Xiao Si returned to the hall, she saw E Niang and her two brothers teasing the little baby lying on the soft couch.
Xiao Si quickly urged Bai Lu to carry him to the soft couch.

He’s also a mistress.”
