Leisurely Four Fortunes

Chapter 24

For the same dinner, some people are exquisite and luxurious, while others are hungry.Regardless of whether the meal is delicate or not, it is always a pleasure to sit down and eat something quietly after a busy day.

Xiaoyi and Yinzhen, as well as most people under this sky, are enjoying it now.However, among the majority of people, the concubine De of the Yonghe Palace was not included.

"Mother De'er, drink porridge."

Five-year-old Yinxiang held a spoon in his small hand and handed it to Concubine De.

"My mother, eat fruit."

The three-year-old Yinzhen followed suit, picked up a piece of fruit at random, ran up to Concubine De on short legs, and hugged her thigh.

"Er Niang's little Fourteen, sit back quickly, don't fall down."

Concubine De hugged Fourteenth Elder Brother on her lap, and glared at Concubine Min opposite.After the emperor personally ordered her to take care of the two elder brothers that day, she usually stayed in the main hall of Yonghe Palace during the day to take care of the children with her.

Concubine Min hugged Elder Thirteen back and lowered her head to reduce her sense of existence.Although everyone in the palace called her Concubine Min, she was just a concubine without a golden book or seal.The emperor just let her yell like that, she was not officially canonized, she was still begging for a living under Concubine De.

She wept with joy for the emperor's order to let her take care of the two elder brothers.Although she knew that Concubine De was not happy, she also wanted to spend more time with Brother Thirteen.So she strictly abides by the rules, and no matter how hard it is, she will not let Concubine De find fault.

Yinxiang had been the playmate of the fourteenth elder brother since he was a child, and lived under the fence of the concubine De. He already knew the height of his eyebrows at the age of five.So he obediently sat on Erniang's lap, and followed him silently.

Seeing such a mother and son, Concubine De felt arrogant.When did Concubine Min, who was simple-minded in the past, become so slippery?It's fine for Shisan to be relatives with her fourth child, but don't spoil her fourth child.

On the one hand, she was worried about Fourteen being snatched away by Concubine Min and Thirteen, mother and son, and on the other hand, she was also worried about Ama, the expression on Concubine De's face finally couldn't hold back.He raised his chopsticks and took two bites.
"It's getting late, children need to sleep more."

Concubine Min heard the string song and knew the elegance, "Sister De is also tired this day, sister took them down to rest."

"Mother, it hurts!"

Concubine Min raised her head, just in time to see Concubine De holding Brother Fourteen tightly in her arms.Just by looking at the supported elbow, one could tell how hard she was exerting herself at the moment.Concubine Min raised her sleeves and took a slight step, blocking elder brother Thirteen behind her, she didn't want her son to suffer like this.

Concubine De hurriedly let go of Elder Fourteen, "Sister Min, take Thirteen back first, and you two, mother and son, get together well."

Concubine Min was overjoyed, anyway Shisan was nominally raised by Concubine De.After thanking Concubine De, Concubine Min went down with Shisan in her arms, and heard the sound of a pipa just around the corner.

"Who is that?"

"Returning to the master, it is Wang Changzai who just entered the palace in this year's draft."

Concubine Min nodded and didn't care too much.

Here in Yonghe Palace, Concubine De held fourteenth elder brother in her arms and looked at it again and again, coaxing him to sleep, and put him on her carved bed.She was leaning on the head of the bed, listening to the crackling of charcoal in the room, thinking about the day.

She knows her Ama, she doesn't know a single big character, and she can't write Manchu, so how can she read books in Chinese.Based on her years of experience, this seems to be a coincidence, but someone must be framing Amma.

So, who would that person be?Concubine Gui or Concubine Yi, or Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong?

Concubine De has been immersed in the court for 20 years, so she naturally knows that the people in this palace are affectionately called sisters in front of her face, but she can't wait to eat her flesh and drink her blood behind her back.Empress Xiao Zhaoren and Concubine Wen Xi, two sisters, both attacked and framed each other, not to mention others who were not related by blood.She was able to secure the position of fourth concubine, and she had been envied by many people for a long time.

The bodyguard who was discovered happened to belong to Guo Luoluo's family, could it be Concubine Yi?No, Concubine Yi wouldn't be so stupid, so who could it be.Concubine De now secretly hates, because of what happened a few days ago, she restrained her eyeliner, and now something happened to her, her eyes are darkened.

The servant girl who kept watch at night came to change the candles, and the clock sounded, but the emperor hadn't come yet.Concubine De knew that she had really fallen for this time.Although she hasn't read many books, she also knows that the most intolerable thing for the emperor is treason.Whenever there is a slight sign, it will be strangled in the cradle.

The literary inquisition of the previous few years is still vivid, and the entrance of the Jingshi Vegetable Market was full of blood.Although Wu Ya's family, as Manchus, would not reach that level, their fate would not be much better.The most urgent task is to find evidence of framing and save the lives of the whole family.

Dongfang showed a fishy belly, De Fei rubbed her numb arms, got up and walked to the vanity mirror.He picked up the sandalwood comb and combed his hair.

"Mommy!"

"Master, the old slave is here."

"Look, why do I have white hair."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. You are the emperor's concubine, and the fourth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother, the ninth princess and the twelve princesses are also with the queen mother..."

The personal nurse stripped off Concubine De's white hair and tried to persuade her with peace of mind, Concubine De was slightly relieved.

After such a commotion, Elder Fourteen also woke up.

"My mother."

"Little Fourteen woke up, did you sleep well last night? The plum blossoms are in bloom, and Erniang will take you to see them later."

"Ask Brother Thirteen to go with him."

Concubine De was a little unhappy, but her love for the child prevailed, she nodded in agreement.After breakfast, Xiaoyi and Yinzhen also came to pay their respects.

Last night, Yinzhen and Xiaoyi also didn't sleep well, Xiaoyi belatedly remembered that literary inquisition is a big deal, don't find it on Ama.But when she got up this morning, she received a message from Nanny Wu, and Ama took seven or eight turns to hand it over. This matter will never be found out at Wulanala's house, so she is completely relieved.

Looking at the dark circles in the corners of Concubine De's eyes, one can imagine the joy in Xiaoyi's heart.If it wasn't for this woman, he wouldn't have only Hong Hui as a child.If it wasn't for this woman, Honghui wouldn't have died at the age of eight.The feud of killing a son is unshakable, since she has the opportunity to do it all over again, she will definitely make Concubine De not sleep well every night!She wanted to see what kind of face this woman who was born as a slave in clothes would show after losing everything she was proud of.

And now, the revenge has only just begun.

After a while, the thirteenth elder brother and Concubine Min also came, and when they saw the fourth elder brother Yinxiang rushed over happily.

"To De'eriang, fourth brother, please greet me."

One night passed, and Concubine Min also knew what happened ahead.She looked at her son nervously, and was relieved to see the fourth elder brother here.

Xiaoyi pulled Thirteenth Brother over and asked him how he slept last night and what he had eaten today, Yinzhen looked at Thirteenth Brother, and his boredom eased a lot.Unfortunately, someone didn't want to make her feel better.

"Fourth, you know about Guo Luoma's law, right?"

"De'eriang, my son already knows. Huang Ama is the son of Shengtian, and my son believes that he will give Guo Luoma justice."

With this kind of answer again, Concubine De felt arrogant.This son has been like this since he was a child. He is really an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, and he is still her fourteenth best friend.Just when she was about to fight wits and courage with her son, the nanny suddenly walked in and said that Li Wenda who was beside the emperor had come.Concubine De's heart skipped a beat, her slightly gloomy expression immediately turned into a gentle breeze.

"If you don't have to go to the Three Treasures Hall, what is your order?"

"Greetings to Master De, the slave is here to deliver the emperor's oral order,"

Li Dequan pushed back the purse in Concubine De's hand, he didn't dare to pick up this hot thing, seeing everyone kneeling down, he cleared his throat.

"The emperor has a decree. From now on, Concubine De will temporarily live in the main hall of Yonghe Palace. If there is no order, she is not allowed to come and go at will. The fourteenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother will be taken care of by the fourth elder brother first."

"Thank you Lord Ron."

After sending Li Dequan away, Concubine De's body softened and she fell to the ground.
