It is not easy to be the fourth master's wife

Chapter 61

When the spring is stronger in April, the concubines will start to quote the remaining beautiful women. When they are all alike, these beautiful women can be read by the emperor. Now only the empress dowager and five The concubine chooses to read.

The empress dowager called some beautiful girls to talk in batches, and Zhou Ting happened to meet her when she followed Concubine De to pay her respects, and Zhou Ting met her nominal niece.At first glance, she looks no different from other little girls, she purses her lips when she smiles, and keeps her legs together when she sits, but you can tell the difference if you look closely, her back is too straight.

Our girls pay attention to delicacy, and they always show some beauty when they sit there. Even the eight Fujins don't hold their heads up like this. Seeing Zhou Ting like this, she frowned slightly. Don't be too sharp, she is still preparing to brush her off in the last match.But don't offend people now, and make trouble before the last match.

"Come here and have a look, isn't this your natal niece? What's her name?" Seeing Zhou Ting coming, the Empress Dowager hurriedly dismissed her and waved to her. Zhou Ting walked over with her back supported by Pearl Agate. Seeing her, as soon as she sat down, the maids in the empress dowager's palace put a small pillow on her back.

"It's called Wanxian. The last time I saw her, she hasn't cut her hair yet." Zhou Ting smiled and looked at the little girl who bowed and bowed: "In a blink of an eye, she will be a big girl."

"It's said that my niece is Xiao Gu. Looking closely, this girl really looks a bit like you." Concubine De expressed a lot of kindness. It's the default [-] Fujin.It is even more impossible for a girl with a big surname like her to stay in the palace, she might point it out to the clan, and there will be a long time to see her in the future, and Zhou Ting has always been liked by her, so she is naturally willing to make a fool of Zhou Ting.

The little girl lowered her head first, and after she finished the salute, she stood uprightly, with a smile on her face, and slowly looked at the concubines sitting above her, and made a circle on Zhou Ting's big belly.

"My niece still remembers my aunt, Erniang said that you have always liked girls the most, and you gave me a lot of gadgets." This opening was not like Zhou Ting's, the little girl's voice was crisp, and she laughed It's a little more lively, and when the words come out, it seems that the eight blessings are the aunt and nephew.

The concubines raised their brows secretly. Although the aunt and nephew were already close, they didn't make a relationship like this. There is no one in the palace who is not a genius. This little girl's words are nice, but the meaning is very clear. She didn't have a big relationship with her aunt in the past, and all she remembered were things from her childhood.

Zhou Ting's goal has been achieved. She can't seem unfriendly or too close. It should be two or three years since the girl kept her hair. The impression is still there at that time. It can be seen that it is not like what she said so close.

Those who understand understand it in their hearts. The concubines just laughed and didn't speak. The empress dowager turned her attention to the next person after asking a question, then turned around and asked others. It is impossible for so many girls to just stare at one person ask.

The bad part is this section. The little girl stared at Zhou Ting closely at the beginning, and quickly reacted when she found that the masters had lost interest in her, but after stepping back, she lowered her head and stared at the toe of the shoe. Feeling disappointed, it was her turn to reply, but she didn't even look at Zhou Ting, and didn't even answer the question.

This looks ugly, Zhou Ting's alarm sounded louder, I'm afraid it's not a good thing, but she didn't take care of her with a word, and she started to shake her face in front of all the concubines, I'm afraid it's really not good So comforting, these show girls will have to live in the palace for at least two months.

It would be great if someone could watch her like Niu Hulu, but this is in the palace, not my own backyard. It is said that watching a concubine can keep a close eye on her, called Niu Hulu tried his best and had to continue lying on the bed.

Good soup, good water, delicious food and drink are constantly available, and that body is almost like a pregnant person than Zhou Ting. Anyone should praise Zhou Ting for being kind and generous.

The reason is also ready-made, a hundred days of injury, not to mention long bones, no matter how much she yelled that she was ready to take apart the wooden boards, but no one paid attention to her, and she said earnestly, "Gege bones It hasn't grown well yet, if it really heals, the doctor will naturally order it to be removed."

She was ineffective every day, and the girls around her didn't dare to listen to her anymore. The one who was kicked out is still staying in the outer courtyard. It's a good marriage, no one is stupid, it's already reluctant to help an unfavored Gege, and no one wants to involve themselves in it.

When she saw the girl from Xilinjueluo's family, Zhou Ting also felt tired. Her belly grew bigger every day, and the shoes on her feet were replaced with flat-soled embroidered shoes. Also insist on walking every day.

The noble ladies in ancient times had too little exercise, and giving birth to a child was a physical effort. She now walks around the garden every day. At first, people around her stopped her. Later, Zhou Ting insisted on leaving, and the garden also showed the feeling of spring. , the wind was blowing warm, Yinzhen agreed, and sent a circle of people to follow him inside and out, and every time it was time, he asked Su Peisheng to go to Qingyuan, treating her like a queen.

Concubine De asked with concern: "But are you tired?"

With one sentence, the empress dowager's attention was drawn, and she pointed to the maid beside her: "Go and add a big pillow for her, what's the use of the small one."

"Thank you ancestor for loving me." Zhou Ting thumped her lower back with her hands behind her back. She didn't know what it was like to be pregnant with one. Anyway, she was pregnant with two. Apart from the usual backache, she just wanted to sleep. I heard that I had cramps and frequent urination now. It hasn’t happened yet. Before she became pregnant, she ate milk and cheese every day. Now she eats egg milk fish every day. If she can’t eat eggs, she will eat quail eggs instead. In winter, when others don’t have fruit, she can still get a plate of walnuts every day. Pine nuts are also essential.

Persevere every day to keep her moisturized and plump, and her skin is glowing even without powder, making people feel that she is more beautiful than before when she is pregnant.

"Where will I go to eat a cup of lotus root noodles later." Concubine De smiled at her and said, "I heard from Yinzhen, do you like to eat this now?"

"I just think it tastes good. It's a bit sweet and not greasy." Pregnant women can't eat high-sugar foods, so Zhou Ting tries to avoid them as much as possible. The snowflake candy has not been served for a long time.

"I sent cherries yesterday, you bring a basket back, and the food is delicious." Before Concubine De gave a few words, the Empress Dowager took over the conversation: "Could it be that I don't have any here? her."

Originally, I also wanted to see the upbringing of these little girls. Food appearance is very important. As soon as I said this, I served snacks in advance. I served Zhou Ting a bowl of hot glutinous rice balls the size of a fingernail, and kneaded vegetable juice with flour. The seeds went in and were verdant and verdant. I took a spoon and ate one into my mouth. The fragrant sesame filling filled my mouth with a sweet taste.

The few show girls were still cautious at first, but they began to relax after saying a few words. They were all girls with big surnames who were not badly educated. Zhou Ting looked at "Wanxian" without any trace, and the little girl pursed her lips and held The spoon just didn't move, and the girls were almost finished eating, so she just ate two.

When the bowls are put away, the mothers look at them, for example, to see how much is left in the bowl, and whether there is any rouge on the white porcelain. Zhou Ting knows that Wanxian's score will not be high, and her eating looks really refined and delicate. , but the things didn’t move much, and points are deducted for this, just after having snacks, after eating fish and shrimp, I have to spit out bones to see what she will do.

Because of this little episode, when she arrived at the Yonghe Palace, Concubine De asked, "Your niece from your mother's family speaks like the eight Fujin." This kind of evaluation is considered high, but Yiwei's tutor is generous and not good at all. Appears frivolous, can handle everything well, puts the same personality together to compete with each other.

"This is my sister-in-law's 30-year-old daughter. Naturally, the family loves her. The elder brothers and sisters in front of her are all old, so they let her do everything." It was a tactful way to smooth things over.

Concubine De, Zhou Ting is not ashamed to speak yet, but Yinzhen has already greeted her. The maid helped Zhou Ting to lean on the kang, and Concubine De asked someone to give her a fuck, while nodding her nose: " You're playing tricks on me too, Yinzhen told me earlier that your niece's family has already been taken care of?" That's why she acted so carelessly, it's no wonder, since the family has made arrangements, she entered the palace for a draft It's just going through the motions, and it's understandable to be different from those girls who want to make a career.

Zhou Ting had never heard Yinzhen mention it, but when Concubine De concubine said it, the corners of her mouth restrainedly raised, she took Pearl and handed her a bowl of hot milk: "Earlier, when my sister-in-law came to beg, I said it was against the rules. , I mentioned it to my master a little bit, but who would have thought that he would come to bother my mother."

"That's where the trouble is. Originally, there are many surnames this time, and the little girl of the Shi family will have a great fortune." Concubine De also revealed the inside information to Zhou Ting: "Your niece should mention something more. Even though the two sentences are good, they can't be wrong."

Zhou Ting bowed her head to be taught: "My daughter-in-law knows, I think her little girl can't hide things in her heart, and she just came to the palace, maybe she's not used to it, look at what she didn't eat just now. Give her a bowl of milk." Then she winked at Zhenzhu, saying that sending milk is a lie, but beating the truth, and if this nonsense continues, the future of the little girl from the La family will be cut in half.

Pearl left and came back in a short time, Zhou Ting saw it at about the same time, and it was time to disperse, Yinzhen was waiting at the gate of the palace after resigning, Zhou Ting has a big belly now, I am afraid that the maids will not be able to support her, After stepping on the little scorpion, Yinzhen personally went to help her to the car, and then closed the curtain.

It's just that he was kinder to Yinzhen, and Han Ama praised and praised him again and again. Only then did he realize that family affection can move Kangxi the most and enhance a good impression.Today, Khan Ama rarely asked about Zhou Ting's delivery date. The twins were born early. When they heard that they were born in June and July, they picked him out of the tour list and said: "Twins are never born. If you pass, you still need to sit in the mansion, and remember to report when you give birth."

Only then did Yinzhen taste something. It turned out that his different attitude towards Zhou Ting actually made Khan Ama look at him more.Yinzhen knew before that Kangxi was a family-oriented person who treated all his wives very well, but he never thought that he would like to see his son similar to him in this respect, which was a mistake.Now even the former court knows that the fourth elder brother Yinzhen's younger brother loves his wife, and the eighth elder brother's good reputation can come so easily.

Yinzhen is not stupid, if Zhou Ting makes a start, he will be able to draw the brotherhood closer, so he naturally knows how to use the existing advantages, Kangxi immediately added a sentence: "In this way, I can also drink the fourteenth brother's wedding wine."

Yinzhen was happy in his heart, and he still pretended to twitch the corners of his mouth: "I'm not afraid of my fourth brother's drinking capacity."

Kangxi himself had a good relationship with Fuquan, and he also hoped that his sons would get along well, but the two sons he valued the most looked like black-eyed chickens. Want to scold: "Is your fourth brother treating you well?"

Regarding the matter of the original glass, he also asked Yinzhen that it is fine for these internal affairs offices to come out, and he does not need to pay for it. .”

Now as long as he gets angry about Yinfeng Yinfeng, he is willing to look at the fourth and fourth fourteenth more, comforting himself that there is always a close relationship, and then put all the responsibility on Mingzhu Suo'etu, Kangxi thought It is about sitting together, whether it is punishment or reward, the whole family is always together.

Seeing that Yinzhen and Yinzhen are pleasing to the eye, I feel that the concubine De's son was born well and she taught well, and then I think of my dead cousin Tong, and feel that her upbringing is also indispensable, and then I think of Zhou Ting.It is said that a virtuous wife is less likely to cause misfortune, and the fourteenth daughter-in-law has not yet entered the family. Zhou Ting is naturally a great hero in the back house, and must be rewarded.

Before the carriage of the two of them arrived home, the eunuch who rewarded things arrived with the list. Zhou Ting inexplicably got the reward back to Kangxi, and there was even a pair of red coral bonsai with a height of one foot in it. The concubine is good to his younger brother and his wife, and then his father will be good to him.
