The news has spread to the Sixth Palace in the West, let alone the palaces in the Sixth Palace in the East.
The concubine's Chengqian Palace is next to Zhongcui Palace, and the news is the earliest to know.
When the eunuch came to report, she was sitting leisurely on the sofa, playing with the full-moon yellow civet cat she had just brought from the cat and dog room.
After hearing the news, she was a little stunned.
On the first day of the new year, the emperor wanted to see his concubines, but he didn't choose Concubine Yi or himself, but went to Zhongcui Palace. It was really surprising.
After entering the palace for several years, He Concubine also saw that the concubines in the harem were divided into Yanxi Palace, Yikun Palace, Yonghe Palace, Zhongcui Palace, and others.
These four have sons and qualifications that are far beyond what others can match.
Including myself...
Everyone in the palace said that she was favored, and that her dignity in the imperial court was equal to that of Concubine Yi.
He and his concubines knew that this was not the case.
She doesn't have that much respect.
The difference between her and Yi Fei is not just a few brothers.
The concubine lowered her head and looked at the raccoon cat. What is the difference between herself and this raccoon slave...

In Yonghe Palace, Concubine De's face was as sinking as water.
When the palace maid who came in to report saw this, she held her breath and didn't dare to raise her head.
Concubine De was distraught.
Everyone knows that the concubine's demotion is strange.
The emperor's pity for the honorable concubine can be traced.
Except for brother Changhua who died at birth, the other three little brothers all died at the age of three or four...
For more than ten years, Concubine Rong did nothing but conceive, give birth to, and die.
Concubine De also lost a son and two daughters.
Concubine De couldn't sit still anymore and turned around to go to the Buddhist hall.
She looked at the kind-faced Buddha statue with dark eyes.
Is Rong’s brother’s grief related to the Hesheli family?
Then my sixth elder brother, is it the hand of Suo Etu...
I can't get close to my fourth elder brother. My fourteenth elder brother has offended the prince...

Main hall of Yanxi Palace, West Room.
It wasn't dark outside yet, and the lights in the house were bright.
A banquet was placed on the kang, and a card table was set up on the ground.
Concubine Hui sat in the main seat, noble Dai Jia sat on Concubine Hui's left hand, noble Nala sat on Concubine Hui's right hand, and there was Chang Zai sitting opposite.
Behind Concubine Hui, there was a young concubine sitting helping Concubine Hui look at the cards.
The remaining two young concubines were at the side, helping everyone pour tea and pass out the cakes.
Concubine Hui was always kind to everyone in Yanxi Palace. Today, the first day of the Lunar New Year, she asked the inner dining room to prepare a banquet. The dinner was placed in the main hall, and all the concubines of Yanxi Palace gathered together.
After dinner, everyone played cards for fun.
Life in the palace was boring, so Concubine Hui often set up a card table and called people over to play cards to kill time.
When the eunuch in charge came in, Dai Jia, the noble lady, pushed Hu down and said to Concubine Hui with a smile: "Your Majesty, let's fight here first. Look at the cards under the lamp, your eyes will be dazzled..."
Concubine Hui glanced at the eunuch in charge, nodded to everyone with a smile, and said, "Let's go back and divide the cakes. We'll have dinner early tonight so that we can cushion ourselves when we get hungry later."
Everyone stood up and responded, each sharing a few plates of pastries and going down.
Concubine Hui looked at the eunuch and said, "What great news is there? Why can't you wait?"
The eunuch in charge bowed and whispered: "Master, when it was dark, the emperor went to Zhongcui Palace, but he has not come out yet..."
Concubine Hui glanced at him and said: "I was shocked. The emperor went in and out of the inner court not ten times a year, but seven or eight times a year. What's so rare? Spying on the emperor's trace is a capital crime. Don't do it if you are celebrating the New Year.
Make yourself uncomfortable!"
The eunuch in charge hurriedly admitted his mistake and said, "It was my servant who violated the rules."
Both the master and the servant knew that this was the news that someone else had brought to their door.
Concubine Hui had been in charge of the East Sixth Palace for more than ten years, and later she was relieved of the palace duties. But she was the mother of the emperor's eldest son, and there were many people who wanted to sell it to her.
Concubine Hui waved her hand and sent the eunuch off.
The eldest palace maid next to her said: "My queen, do you want to wash up?"
Concubine Hui nodded, rubbed her waist, and said, "Go to rest early today, I got up early in the morning."
After finishing washing, Concubine Hui lay on the kang and watched the palace maid put down the curtain, and then the expression on her face solidified.
Chengqing...
??????????.??????
Her Chengqing was not lost during the confinement period, but had successfully passed the "catch the week" hurdle.
Fourteen months old, I have begun to learn to call people, and can call myself "Empress"...
These old concubines, unless they offended the emperor, would not have been demoted to the throne and sealed the palace.
The emperor's reverse scale is the prince...
Concubine Hui knew that she might be in over her head.
But Chengqing is her eldest son...
After ten months of pregnancy, once you give birth, the flesh will fall off your body.
However, she could only remain vague and did not even have the right to ask for the truth.
Because there is an elder brother who is on the edge of the cliff...
With her in the palace, when the eldest brother is really about to fall, she, the biological mother, can always help...

Dutong Mansion, main room.
Ni Guzhu hugged her little tiger pillow, waved to Fusong and Zhang, and said: "Uncle, aunt, please go back quickly, I'll sleep with Mama Guo..."
Madam Zhang was a little worried and looked at Madam Jueluo: "Eni..."
Jueluo Shi said: "I have agreed with Da Gege, don't worry, you should go back and settle in earlier. You have to get up early tomorrow."
Tomorrow is the second day of the Lunar New Year, the day when a married woman returns home.
Mrs. Zhang glanced at Ni Guzhu again and saw that she was cheerful and not reluctant to leave, so she felt relieved and followed Fusong out.
The young couple's new house is located in the east courtyard of Dutong Mansion.
Neither of them had a girl with them, so Fusong picked a lantern to light up.
Mrs. Zhang wants to ask her mother-in-law why she won't go home tomorrow.
But when she thought about her uncle's house, which was the Fusong family, she changed her mind wisely and said: "Brother Five should be coming tomorrow. I don't know if he will be late..."
Fusong nodded and said: "Don't worry, my eldest brother is here. He has lived in the capital for a long time and will tell my fifth brother to come earlier..."

In the main room, after the young couple left.
Jueluo Shi took Nigu Zhu to wash himself briefly and then rested.
When Ni Guzhu lay down, he looked at Jue Luo and said, "Mom Guo Luoma, don't you care about me?"
Jue Luo looked at her and said, "I'm sorry for you. Your uncle has been playing with you these past two days. He also gave you his share of the golden cake you loved for dinner..."
Ni Guzhu pouted, pointed at the door, and said, "Then why did my uncle move to the west room? Didn't he sleep in this room before?"
Neither Niguzhu nor Xiaoqi had hair left, and it was not yet time for men and women to be on guard.
Qi Xi took away his youngest son tonight to make room for Ni Guzhu.
Afraid that Luo Shi would look after two children at the same time, so he picked up Xiao Qi, and the father and son lived in the West Room.
Jue Luo Shi was thinking about how to explain, but Ni Guzhu had already thought of the answer by himself, and said happily: "Oh, I understand. Grandma Guo Luoma will sleep with me today. If she can't accompany Guo Luomafa, let my uncle
Accompany Guo Luoma to do the Dharma..."
"Well, well, that's it..."
Jueluo's compassionate way.
Ni Guzhu rolled half a circle on the kang, squeezed into Jueluoshi's arms, and said: "Then I still like my uncle. If my uncle doesn't care about me anymore, I won't care about my uncle anymore..."
Jue Luoshi said: "This is right, you can't suffer a loss. We are very valuable. If we are willing to treat you well, you can get close to us. If we are not willing to treat you well, you can just let him go..."
Qi Xi and his wife are one of the few older generations of the Dong E family, and are now the "acting patriarchs" of the family. Today, there are many members of the clan paying New Year's greetings.
Ni Guzhu received a lot of New Year's red envelopes, but also met a lot of female relatives.
"I call Mama Mama, but an old lady said that I called her wrong. She shouldn't be called Mama, but Mama Daguoluo..."
Ni Guzhu has reached the age where he can learn to speak. When he said this, he felt a little confused.
"Why isn't Mama Mama? When I met Mama, Mama was Mama..."
Jueluoshi patted Ni Guzhu on the back.
Why is it called Mama?
That is Baylor Mansion, and Madam Uncle is also a member of the clan.
When Mrs. Bo discusses marriage with Brother Jiu, there is no reason to discuss it from Shu Shu.
Ni Guzhu should have called Mrs. Bo "aunt", which would have made her the same generation as Shu Shu. It was against the rules, so she changed her name to "Ma Ma". This actually elevated Mrs. Bo's "aunt" by a generation.
