Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 59

Kangxi was not jealous of the concubines in the sixth palace who showed his closeness to the little elder brother and the little princess when he was in the third bath. A cup of tea to dissipate grievances.

They have been in the palace for so many years, and I have never seen the emperor care so much about any concubine, even the child born with her is more noble than others.

Thinking of the emperor looking at the little elder brother and the little princess in his arms with a smile on his face, the sour breath came out all over his head.

This secret concubine didn't know what good luck she had, the emperor spoiled her as soon as she entered the palace, but now she stole all the limelight, making people uncontrollably jealous.

Concubine Hui stood in the hall with a sullen face, the unwillingness and resentment in her eyes made people tremble with fear.

All the servants of Zhongcui Palace knew that their own mother was not happy right now.

Fortunately, Concubine Hui is calm, and when she gets angry, at most she just keeps a cold face and doesn't say a word, and never vents her anger on the servants around her.Even so, the maids and eunuchs serving in the palace still didn't even dare to show their breath, for fear that if someone accidentally offended the empress, they would have a bad day in the future.

Everyone guessed some of their own mother's thoughts in their hearts.It's just for Eldest Brother, the emperor alienates Eldest Brother, no one in the palace knows.Fortunately, elder brother is the eldest son, and his wife's status is precious, even if the emperor is alienated, no one would dare to make elder brother feel uncomfortable.But this matter has become a heart disease of my own mother, and she can't even touch it.

Now, the secret concubine has given birth to a twin, the emperor is very happy, and the people in the House of Internal Affairs are all the most eye-catching. No, even San San is very lively. I heard that the scene has not been seen in many years. seen.

This person is more than angry. If the emperor could pretend not to know about the elder brother's indifferent concubine before, comparing the two, the emperor's thoughts are clearly revealed, so it is no wonder that his concubine is unhappy.

But what can I do?No matter how much the emperor alienates the elder brother, it is better than being displeased with the eighth elder brother.Take what happened a few days ago as an example, the eighth elder brother was sick, and the emperor came here only once. If the eldest elder brother was changed, even if it was for the empress's sake, the emperor would come a few more times.

There was silence in the room, and after a long time, Concubine Hui asked, "What are Eighth Brother doing these days?"

As soon as she said this, doubts flashed on everyone's faces. They didn't know why their master was mentioning the eighth elder brother at this time, so they just replied cautiously: "The eighth elder brother is still the same as usual, getting up early to go to the study Read books, go to learn riding and archery in the afternoon, and practice calligraphy for an hour when you come back in the evening."

The eighth elder brother was very attentive in his studies. At that time, the emperor only said that the eighth elder brother's handwriting was not as good as the fourth elder brother's. The eighth elder brother practiced calligraphy day and night, and finally made himself tired and sick.

Just to say something that I don't know how to live or die, the eighth elder brother has such a mother-in-law, I am afraid that he will not be able to win the emperor's eyes in this life.

Hearing the servant's words, Concubine Hui's eyes flashed ridicule.

"Let the small kitchen prepare a few fresh dishes, and let the eighth elder brother accompany me to eat later."

The palace maid responded, not knowing what her own concubine meant, so she turned around and retreated to ask someone to prepare.

During dinner, the eighth elder brother came over to greet Concubine Hui in a proper manner, and called Er Niang. He was originally handsome, but he had been ill not long ago, so he looked a little weak.

With a decent smile on Concubine Hui's face, she carefully asked him how well he had read in the past few days, but he was checked by the emperor.

Regarding Concubine Hui's questions, the eighth elder brother answered respectfully one by one. The little man standing in the hall made Concubine Hui feel that she had a well-founded demeanor.

This is exactly what Yinyi lacks the most.Yinbi loves to learn martial arts since he was a child, and his temper is somewhat blunt. He is no better than those who can talk, and he pleases the emperor.

Concubine Hui glanced at Yinhu, seeing him standing there with his head buried in a well-behaved manner, a strange feeling suddenly surged in her heart.

Yinhu has an idea, and it is guaranteed that he can become Yinhu's help in the future.Although the emperor doesn't like this son because of Wei Guiren's background, if she can handle it, if Wei Guiren is favored, Yinhu will rise with the tide.

At that time, the mother and son will find a way to repay her kindness.

Concubine Hui is not a woman who is good at fighting for favor. Most of the time, she puts her mind on the elder brother, but in the end she finds out that because the elder brother is the eldest son, the emperor deliberately alienated him from the beginning, so even if she reads No matter how good it was, the emperor was calm on the surface, and never praised the elder brother in public, for fear that his heart would become big and threaten the status of the prince.

But all she can count on in this life is only such a son. Even if she is not for herself, she has to think about Yinyi's future.

If the prince ascends the throne, the best result for Yinyi is to be imprisoned for a lifetime, but as an emperor, who can really tolerate the existence of the eldest son of the emperor?Just thinking about it made her feel cold all over.

"Come here and sit down, Er Niang asked the small kitchen to prepare several fresh dishes, you can use some with Er Niang." Concubine Hui's voice couldn't help being a little more gentle.

"Yes." The eighth elder brother replied, walked to the table and sat down, looking at the bowl of white rice in front of him.

"Try this, Erniang knows that you understand the rules, but you can be more comfortable when you are with Erniang in the future. Yinzhen doesn't talk about so many rules like you, but I feel a little reserved."

The eighth elder brother put down the chopsticks in his hand: "Yinhu would like to follow Er Niang's teachings."

Concubine Hui couldn't help feeling angry, her words seemed to hit a ball of cotton, Yinhu didn't even have any intention of showing closeness.But who can say that he is wrong, this child has been very well-behaved since he was a child, not to mention in front of her, even in front of his biological noble lady Emiangwei, he also behaved like this.

If we really want to say it, it is also because of the nobleman Xin Zheku's status as a sinful slave, otherwise, how could he, a noble elder brother, need to be so careful, even a servant who is in command does not dare to beat and scold at will.

Concubine Hui was full of thoughts, but she still had a smile on her face. Yinhu was her adopted son, and she was always closer to her than the concubines in the harem.It's just that this child has been treated coldly in the palace, and his temper has become more restrained.

Thinking of this, Concubine Hui couldn't help resenting the emperor again, the emperor's heart was going to be sideways, her Yin Yin, and Mrs. Wei's eighth elder brother, why did the emperor care about it?

Now that she has a secret concubine, she is willing to pamper her with all her heart, even the child she gave birth to is so important.

If there is not another prince, she even thinks that the one he values ​​most now is the one from Qixiang Palace.

Thinking of this, Concubine Hui paused for a while before picking up vegetables, and asked casually: "Has your Empress Ama ever asked about your book these days?"

Yinhu shook his head, neither sad nor happy: "Huang Ama seldom comes to the study these days."

Concubine Hui nodded, and said thoughtfully: "That's right, your fifteenth younger brother was just born, so it's good for the emperor to be more considerate. However, the emperor held three banquets, and I don't know what the prince will do if he finds out. think."

The prince was raised in Qianqing Palace since he was a child, and he has captured the attention of the emperor by himself. Now that there are fifteen elder brothers coming out to fight for favor, I don't know if this prince will feel uncomfortable?

Hearing Concubine Hui's words, Eighth Prince's eyes flashed a hint of sarcasm, and in a blink of an eye, he changed into his usual calmness, and only replied respectfully: "Brother Prince is generous, he will definitely like Brother Fifteen."

The eighth elder brother's answer surprised Concubine Hui a little. No one in the palace knew that his elder brother was not favored by the emperor, and he didn't even do anything to clean up the third brother. No matter how well others hide it, they still have complaints in their hearts.

Concubine Hui looked at Yinhu's sincere eyes, frowned, and thought to herself, why doesn't this child eat oil and salt?
For Concubine Hui's depression, Brother Ba didn't seem to feel it and still ate the dishes in the bowl. The food looked very good, but after a while, most of the dishes on the table were wiped out.

Concubine Hui came back to her senses and looked at the half-eaten dishes on the table, and was in a daze.

He glanced at the eighth elder brother Yinhu who was eating with his head down. His movements were not as elegant as before.

I don't know, I thought the dishes on this table disappeared by themselves?

"You are weak, you should eat more."

"Thank you, Er Niang, Yinhu knows."

"..."

Concubine Hui felt for the first time that the eighth elder brother was really the son of Wei Gui's life, and that Mr. Wei was a master who didn't want to get in.

She told her many times to get closer to the emperor, but after all these years, the eighth elder brother has grown up so much, she has not moved at all.

I don't know, what was she thinking in her heart, she had the heart to watch her son being inferior to others in the palace, living worse than a decent slave.

Thinking of this, Concubine Hui's frown deepened, and she thought to herself, why is she so unlucky, she gave birth to an emperor's eldest son and couldn't compete with the queen, but got an adopted son but was so unlucky.

But, she still can't get angry, can she say that Brother Ba understands the rules too much?
But then again, even if Yinhu didn't pass the word to the prince, the prince is still a smart man.

The more the emperor valued Elder Brother Fifteen, the more panicked the prince would be. At that time, he would not need her to send people to sow discord, he would naturally know what he should do to regain the emperor's favor.

In this way, it not only hit the secret concubine, but also caused the emperor to have a rift against the prince, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?
I just don't know if this two birds with one stone will be as exciting as she thought?
