Chapter 90

Early this morning, all the concubines and concubines of some status in the palace focused on the Compassion Ning Palace. The euphemistic name was to pay respects to the Empress Dowager and show their filial piety.Since Concubine Tong exempted everyone in the harem from paying their respects, this was the first time a concubine in the harem paid her respects from the Compassionate Ning Palace.Moreover, they also ignored Xiu Yu by agreement. In the group, except for the concubine Yi who had a miscarriage and Concubine Tong who was raising a baby, all the concubines and concubines of the Niu Hulu family were present.

"Morning, sisters."

The concubine of the Niu Hulu clan swayed into the Palace of Compassionate Ning with the maid's hand in her arms. Concubine Tong Gui was not there, she was the highest-ranking concubine, so it felt so good to look down on others.This made Niu Hulu's concubine, who was jealous and unhappy because of Xiu Yu's exclusive favor, feel better at this time.

Except for Tong Jiashi, no matter how favored this harem concubine is, she can't surpass her. Even Concubine Jing is the same, they all have to curtsey to her.She likes this superior feeling more and more, it would be better without Tong Jiashi.

"The concubine pays her respects to the concubine."

Seeing Niu Hulu's concubines accepting their gifts with joy, the concubines, who were already in a firm mood, felt even more dark in their hearts.

It's just a concubine who has no canonization ceremony, but she accepts their gift with a high-ranking driver. This feeling of aggrieved is really uncomfortable.

"Sisters, get up." He waved his hands slowly, pretending to be a commission, and said, "My sister came early today, so please don't disturb the Empress Dowager."

"Hey, why isn't Sister Jingpin here? Could it be that she hasn't come yet?" Mei Mou glanced at the crowd and asked in surprise.

"Sister Concubine Jing has worked so hard to serve Lord Long Live, and I'm afraid she is still resting and recuperating at this time." After finishing speaking, Concubine Hui pinched the handkerchief to cover her small mouth, not knowing whether it was a real smile or a fake one.

"No, let's take it easy."

As soon as Xiu Yu was mentioned, all the concubines seemed to have found a common topic, talking about Xiu Yu openly and secretly, all kinds of satirical and jealous remarks.

Everyone waited for a long time before the Empress Dowager made an announcement.

"The concubine pays her respects to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager is blessed and safe!"

"Will you all get up?"

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!"

"Didn't the Ai family excuse me? Why did you all come to the Palace of Compassion and Ning today? You all came together." How could the Empress Dowager not know what they came for, she lightly scratched the lid of the teacup without even looking at it Everyone looked at him casually.

"It's the concubines who disturb the Empress Dowager, but the concubines also want to show their filial piety to the Empress Dowager, and I hope that the Empress Dowager will not dislike the concubines."

"You're the only one with a sweet mouth." The Empress Dowager patted Niu Hulu's concubine's little hand and said with a smile.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was in a good mood, all the concubines immediately flattered the Empress Dowager, making the old lady very happy.For the sake of their hard work to please her, the Empress Dowager is in the mood to listen to what they have to say.

"Come on, don't tease the old lady, just tell me if you have anything to do with your work." The Empress Dowager looked around at the crowd and finally found that Xiu Yu was not there, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly.

"Concubine Jing didn't come?"

"Sister Jing Concubine served the Lord Long Live yesterday, I'm afraid she was tired..." When the Empress Dowager finally mentioned Jing Concubine, Jing Concubine couldn't wait to answer.

Not long after the concubines arrived at the Palace of Mercy Ning, Xiu Yu from Jingren Palace also got the news.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to pay your respects now?" Nanny Sun looked at Xiu Yu worriedly, her family's concubine was being pushed aside by all the concubines.

Going to please the empress dowager here will miss her mother. If the empress dowager misunderstands that her empress is not filial, what should I do?

"Take little elder brother and little Gege down." Xiu Yu first handed over the three children beside her to the nanny to carry them down before getting up, "The nanny ordered the sedan chair to be prepared, and I will go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to greet the Empress Dowager. "

Finally, when they made their move, I thought it would be earlier, but I didn't expect to make her wait for two more days.

It is not surprising that she was excluded from the invitation without telling her, but it would be strange if she followed them to the invitation.

Before Xiu Yu got into the sedan chair, she saw Nanny Gui from the Palace of Compassion and Peace coming towards Jingren Palace.Nanny Gui is also the old nanny who serves the Empress Dowager, but her status is higher than that of Aunt Su Mala.

"My maidservant pays her respects to Concubine Jing, the lady is auspicious."

"Mommy, please get up quickly." Xiu Yu didn't dare to accept the full salute from the Nanny of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help Nanny Gui. "I don't know if the mother came here with the order of the empress dowager."

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager summons your Majesty."

"It just so happens that this palace is going to greet the Empress Dowager. Mommy, let's go together."

When Xiu Yu arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the other concubines had already left, and no one stayed to watch her joke, which was really abnormal.After entering the palace, she saw no one else nor the Empress Dowager, so Xiu Yu was puzzled.

Is this a blow to her?
Just as he was thinking about it, Aunt Su Ma opened the side curtain and came in. "My maidservant greets Concubine Jing..."

"Madam Su, please hurry up, why am I uncomfortable with Madam Su's gift?" Even Kangxi respected and called her Er Nie, a little concubine like her would not dare to accept this gift.Xiu Yu didn't wait for Aunt Su Ma to bow down, she hurried forward to help Aunt Su Ma herself.

"The empress is the master, and the servant is just a slave. It is a rule for a slave to greet the master, and the slave does not dare to go beyond the rules." Su Mawugu's face was indifferent, and no expression could be seen.

Xiu Yu is not willing to entangle this issue with Su Ma Lagu, "I am here to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, I don't know the Empress Dowager..."

"The Empress Dowager is tired and has already rested." It means that the Empress Dowager is not honored by you.Xiu Yu also heard the meaning, and couldn't help but feel tight.

As expected, Xiao Zhuang is the most taboo of being alone, and after five days of being alone, Xiao Zhuang is blatantly ignoring her.

"Then I'm here waiting for the Empress Dowager to wake up." As long as Xiaozhuang didn't say clearly that she couldn't see her, she would be lazy here.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to wait here."

No way, this is planning to drive her away. Didn't the Empress Dowager send someone to send her here? Now that she is gone again, Xiu Yu grimaces in her heart.

"The empress dowager has been paying homage to the Buddha recently. The Buddhist scriptures that the Lord Long Live respected are too small. After all, the empress dowager is old..."

This is a blatant attempt to punish her for copying scriptures, and it's not like she hasn't copied. "The concubine is willing to copy scriptures for the Empress Dowager."

"Then the empress will follow the slaves to the Buddhist hall."

Outside the Buddhist hall, Yun Tang wanted to follow in to serve Bi Mo but was stopped by Aunt Su Ma.

"Your Majesty, you must be sincere in copying scriptures."

"Yuntang, just wait outside." It's just studying ink and copying scriptures, which won't bother her.

Xiu Yu didn't expect that she would spend a whole day in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, copying scriptures all day long.Kneeling all day made her exhausted, but she didn't think about it but this was just the beginning!
The sun was setting to the west after noon, and it was time to turn over the signboard. Perhaps because he was used to it, Kangxi subconsciously reached out to turn over Xiuyu's signboard. Hastily stepped forward and said cautiously.

"Long live God, Concubine Jing copied the scriptures for the Empress Dowager in the Palace of Compassion and Peace and hasn't returned to Jingren Palace yet." It means, Lord Concubine Jing, you should stop looking at the brand of Concubine Jing!

Long live Lord, you have been flipping through the signboard of Concubine Jing for five days in a row, don't keep flipping through it.And even the Empress Dowager has made a move, Long Live Lord, you'd better turn to other masters' brands.

Liang Jiugong was really scared, afraid that the Lord Long Live would turn over the brand of Concubine Jing again.It's okay for the Lord Long Live to spoil his concubines, but it's okay to only spoil his concubines, which will kill people.

"Copying scriptures?" This is why he didn't know.

Kangxi, if Xiao Ya wanted to hide something, how could he easily let you know.

"Yes, the scriptures written by the Empress Dowager are too small to read clearly. I heard that Empress Dowager Jing's scriptures have been copied well, so I sent Empress Jing to go." Even he didn't believe this reason, let alone Long Live Lord. .

Or this is the reason given by the Empress Dowager, if you don't believe it, you have to believe it.

Kangxi held Concubine Jing's sign in his hand, his face sank, and finally he put down Concubine Jing's green-headed sign. He wanted not to turn over the sign today, but after thinking about it, he turned over the sign of Concubine Niuhulu's concubine after all.

Seeing this, Liang Jiugong was finally relieved.

Xiu Yu didn't expect that she had been copying the scriptures in the Palace of Compassion and Ning for several days in a row. On this day, she was copying the scriptures when she suddenly heard the sound of urgent footsteps outside the Buddhist hall, and let out her spiritual sense to "look" I saw a maid from the Compassionate Ning Palace rushing in to see the Empress Dowager.

"If you go back to Mammy, the people from Chengqian Palace came to report that the imperial concubine had given birth prematurely." The maid knelt down and replied when she saw Aunt Su Mala coming out.

"What? Premature birth!" Didn't Concubine Tong take good care of her fetus in Chengqian Palace? How could she be born prematurely?The important thing is that Concubine Tong Gui has only been around for eight months, so she is alive and not alive!
"What exactly is going on?"

"This slave doesn't know."

"All right, all right, get up quickly." Without the Queen Mother's orders, she can't take care of this matter. Aunt Su Ma waved her hand and hurried into the hall to report to the Queen Mother.

"Gege, look..." You don't need to watch other concubines give birth, but Concubine Tong must go to see the birth, especially the children of Tong Jia's blood.

"Ai's family goes to Chengqian Palace to have a look." For Xuanye's sake, she gave Tong Jiashi some face.

"Gege, then Concubine Jing..." Concubine Jing couldn't be allowed to continue copying scriptures in the Palace of Compassion and Ning after such a thing happened.

"Okay, don't copy anymore, ask her to go with you." She has seen Concubine Jing's reactions these days, but she has a good impression of Xiu Yu who can copy scriptures with a normal heart.

"But do you know what's going on?"

Xiu Yu looked at Feng Yu of the Empress Dowager who was far ahead and turned her head to look at Yun Tang who was supporting her.

Yuntang: "This servant doesn't know either, but this servant has been serving the master in the Palace of Compassion."

"Forget it, let's go and have a look first."

The guard of honor of the Empress Dowager had gone away, and Xiu Yu hurriedly followed.

When they arrived at Chengqian Palace, Kangxi and the Empress Dowager were already in Chengqian Palace, and all the concubines and concubines gathered in Chengqian Palace.But because of Kangxi's gloomy face, none of the concubines dared to be the first to speak.

Xiu Yu stood quietly under Concubine Hui, listening to Concubine Tong's cries of pain in the delivery room.

Because Concubine Tong was born prematurely and was giving birth for the first time, it took nearly four or five hours to give birth.

"Wow..." The cry of the baby broke the depression of Chengqian Palace, and the concubine's heart seemed to be pinched, all her eyes were fixed on the delivery room, wanting to know whether Concubine Tong Gui gave birth to a boy or a girl!
