The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 12 The Emperor's Heart
"Get up."

Everyone thanked them for their kindness, Yinzhen raised his eyes and looked, except for one who was his personal servant since childhood, the rest were all people from the Queen's mother's original palace.Yinzhen knew that these people were the confidantes of the Empress's side, and thought that these people would be transferred to other places after the death of the Empress, but she did not expect that they were here with Concubine Xian.Concubine Xian smiled slightly and said: "Nurse Wusu is your mother-in-law's wet nurse. Originally, the emperor wanted to let her go out of the palace to retire in the old age. Your mother-in-law was worried, so you asked her to stay and be your nurturing mother. It will be a few years for Madam Wu." Madam Wusu has been in the Tong family for more than ten years, and has been with Empress Tong Jia for more than ten years in the deep palace, and Concubine Xian also respects her very much.Aunt Wusu smiled and said, "Your Majesty is serious. It is the royal grace and trust that a servant can take care of the fourth elder brother." Yinzhen also respected this nanny who could be regarded as being brought up by himself since childhood, nodded and said: "Fortunately." Poor mother." Mother Wusu hurriedly said, "Don't dare."

Concubine Xian pointed to the others and said, "Su Peisheng has been with you since childhood, and Mingxia Wancui Qianhong is also from your mother-in-law, so they will follow you from now on. It is not easy to bring so many people with you when you go to Mrs. Lin's house." People. My aunt will add more people to you after you return to the palace. Just tell your aunt what the people around you want.” Yinzhen nodded and said, “Thank you aunt. Yinzhen took Wusu with her when she left the palace. Nanny and Su Peisheng are fine. Mingxia and the rest will stay in the palace for now." Concubine Xian nodded and said: "That's fine, I'll transfer them when Elder Brother's place is ready. Let them stay here for a while. Go to Chengqian Palace to serve first and foremost. When you return to the palace, you will have a reason to ask the emperor to give them to you." Yinzhen nodded and said, "Auntie is very considerate."

After finishing the business, Concubine Xian ordered a few more words to take good care of herself outside the palace and wait for Yinzhen to retire to the side hall to rest.Concubine Xian could only sigh softly when she looked at the lonely and thin back.

"Ma'am, the emperor has come in."

Hearing the court lady's report, Concubine Xian quickly cheered up and went up to meet her, but she was a little surprised why she didn't notify in advance to pick her up.Before reaching the door, Kangxi had already walked in, "The concubine kowtowed to the emperor." Kangxi helped her up and said, "The noble concubine is flat, Si elder brother and Yu Gege are sleeping?" Concubine Xian nodded, "Yu Gege rested early. Si A Brother just went back, the emperor ordered someone to see his concubine..." Kangxi stopped and said: "No, I just came to see. Did you give him all?" Concubine Xian replied: "All are given, the fourth elder brother said Only take Wusu Nanny and Su Peisheng out of the palace. The others will wait for him to go back to the palace and serve him as a concubine according to the rules of the elder brother in the palace." Kangxi nodded in satisfaction and said: "Very good, that little eunuch and Wusu Madam Su is trustworthy. The other few you look at are a little more aggressive." Concubine Xian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. These few people are trustworthy people left by my sister, and they will definitely not be the ones who betrayed the master." matters." Only then did Kangxi feel relieved and chatted with Concubine Xian for a few words before getting up and going out.

"Madam, the emperor has gone to the place of Concubine Yi in Yongshou Palace." The maid came in and whispered next to Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian glanced at her, and said lightly: "Presumptuous! You can find out the whereabouts of the emperor." The maid is also Concubine Xian's confidant, she is not very afraid, but said: "I don't dare, I just listened outside the door. The emperor said to go to Yongshou Palace." Noble Concubine Xian sighed lightly and said: "In the future, I will search for some of these things. It is no good for the palace to know too much." The maid Nuonuo should be, but she was very puzzled by the emperor. It is such a grace to be named a noble concubine by her own mother, but she rarely visits Zhongcui Palace.I can't help feeling wronged secretly for my mother.Concubine Xian saw her expression in her eyes, and said calmly: "What do you know? The more the emperor is like this, the more stable my palace's position in the palace will be." As for favoring children, she has long since given up thinking about it.She didn't want to suffer from love all her life like her sister and the emperor.Except for the fourth elder brother, it is impossible for the emperor to bestow any heirs on Tong Jia's family.The emperor does not need another Hesheli, let alone a second Soetu.

In the morning, Yinzhen and Daiyu greeted the Queen Mother and stayed in Zhongcui Palace to study and practice calligraphy.Daiyu is just at the age when she loves to play, but Lin Ruhai and Jia Min have ordered her not to play around in the palace.After eating breakfast, the maid next to Concubine Xian came to report that Master Zhang Jia of Yanxi Palace brought the thirteenth elder brother.When Daiyu heard about the thirteenth elder brother, she immediately thought of the cute little bun yesterday, and looked at Yinzhen with bright eyes.Yinzhen pampered you and rubbed her little head and took Daiyu to Concubine Xian.

Zhang Jiashi is a gentle woman. Although she is not in good health, she is still more generous than a Manchu woman.Originally, all the concubines above the concubine in the palace had titles, but Zhang Jia's family was not canonized. She had neither position nor title, but she lived in the first palace master who could only live at the concubine or above. Her status was a bit embarrassing. He is the master and son of Zhang Jia.Yinzhen had never met Zhang Jiashi several times before, but now when he came in, he realized that Zhang Jiashi seemed somewhat similar to Huang Erniang.She frowned slightly, "I've seen Zhang Jia's mother and concubine."

"Fourth elder brother, please get up." Zhang Jiashi said hastily.Yinxiang was in Zhang Jia's arms, and when he heard Yinzhen's voice, he immediately turned his head and stretched out his hand to Yinzhen, "Fourth brother! Fourth brother!" With a smile on his white and tender face, Yinzhen stepped forward to take it. He, Yinxiang also didn't forget Daiyu next to him, "Sister hugs..." Yinzhen patted him on the back and smiled, "Sister Lin can't hold you, Shisan, this little meatball." Daiyu looked enviously Holding Yinzhen who is much taller than her, she tugged at the hem of Yinzhen's clothes to hug the doll.Yinzhen had no choice but to sit down and put Yinxiang on the ground for Daiyu to hold. Naturally, she couldn't hold her, and the two children fell down on the thick floor to play.

Concubine Xian covered her lips and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, the thirteenth elder brother really hits it off with the fourth elder brother Yu Gege."

Zhang Jiashi also laughed, looked at Yinxiang affectionately and said: "I have been in poor health these days, and I really ignored the thirteenth elder brother. I didn't expect that those slaves were all unsatisfactory. Thank you, fourth elder brother, yesterday." " Yinzhen said indifferently: "Mother and concubine are serious, why bother to say thank you for being brothers. It's just that the thirteenth brother is still young, so the servants around him must beat them hard, lest they forget who is the master."

"What the fourth elder brother said is exactly. These slaves should really be beaten. Even the master can't see it, why don't they throw it all to the Punishment Department." Concubine Xian also said.

"What the imperial concubine and the fourth elder brother said is true." Zhang Jia replied.It's just that her status in the palace is embarrassing, is there anyone who can deal with the servants around her so casually?But let his son suffer along with him.Zhang Jiashi felt bitter in his heart.Concubine Xian also knew her difficulties, so she changed the subject and stopped talking about it.
