The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 36
Concubine Xian's jade face sank, and she said lightly: "The Xilinjueluo family is my Manchurian family, originally belonging to the Xianglan Banner. After the ancestors entered the customs, Mr. Lin, a branch of the ancestor's grace, personally carried them into the Xianghuang Banner. Yugege is considered as a member of the palace. There is absolutely no reason to say who to serve by her side. Elder Concubine De is also an old man in the palace, how can she say such a thing? If it spreads, it will make people think that we people in the harem are ignorant and ignorant of rules and etiquette. "The Lin family was carried into Shangsanqi before Tong's family, and they were Manchus themselves. If Xilinjueluo's Ge Ge had to participate in the election just like Bao Yi, then what would Tong Jia's be?To put it more seriously, what is the current emperor's biological mother, Empress Xiaokangzhang?
Concubine De's face froze, she didn't have any hatred with Daiyu herself, she just vented her anger because Daiyu was very close to Yinzhen.How did she not know that the Xilinjueluo clan was a Manchurian clan?How can you not know the relationship between Lin Ruhai and Kangxi and Empress Xiaoyi and Concubine Xian?This Yu Gege is so close to the fourth elder brother, and the fourth elder brother insists on refusing to marry Fujin. Could it be that he is waiting for the daughter of Lin Ruhai who controls most of the Qing Dynasty's tax revenue?Thinking of this, Concubine De's image of Daiyu became even worse.

Although Concubine Xian is much younger than Concubine De Rong and others, she usually calls these concubines elder sisters.But she couldn't hold back that she was the only noble concubine in the palace today.The three empresses have passed away long ago, and the imperial concubine has never been lacking. The noble concubine is the highest-ranking concubine in the harem, and it is not too much to reprimand a concubine for a few words.These years, the harem has no owner, and concubines Xian and nobles are not favored, so favored concubines such as Concubine De and Yi can also assist in the affairs of the harem. However, since the death of Empress Xiaozhao, the women of the Tong family have always been on their heads. Empress Xiaoyi, the emperor immediately made a noble concubine Xian.Not to mention the background of Concubine De Baoyi, even Concubine Yi Hui, a noble daughter of the Eight Banners, Kangxi, did not confer another noble concubine after the death of Concubine Wen Xi.For example, Concubine Rong and others who can see through have already recognized it. Unless their son can become a great treasure one day, the emperor obviously intends to let them stay in the concubine position for the rest of their lives.That's fine, if they can't get promoted, neither can others.The four concubines were already full. A few years ago, the emperor made an exception and conferred Zhang Jia as Concubine Min. The number of concubines has obviously exceeded the fixed number.But Concubine De is different, if in the harem who is Concubine De's most hated person, Empress Xiaoyi is definitely the number one.After Empress Xiaoyi, Concubine Xian, who forced her to be the noble concubine, happened to be ranked second.It just so happened that both of these two women were surnamed Tong Jia. In Concubine De's selfish heart, the biggest goal in this life was probably to surpass Tong Jia's woman.Whether it is Empress Xiaoyi or Concubine Xian, she will step on her feet!But at this time...she could only bow her head and admit her mistake..."The imperial concubine taught me that the concubine was careless."

Concubine Xian glanced at Concubine De, but didn't pursue too much.After all, Concubine De is still very favored, and her son, the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen, is also deeply loved by the emperor.Now that she has admitted her mistake, if she still pursues her, maybe the emperor will blame her for not being generous.She nodded and said: "It's good for sister to remember, after all, the emperor will not be happy to hear such words." Concubine De thought of the emperor's neglect of her when Empress Xiaoyi just passed away, if not for Yinzhen Concubine De couldn't even imagine her life today, "The concubine wrote it down."

Sitting next to Concubine Xian, Daiyu silently listened to the conversation of the three concubines, but did not speak.Although Concubine De's words made her very uncomfortable, but as the ruler is a minister and minister, the daughter of the Lin family must not contradict the emperor's concubine and the prince's mother for a word. .Daiyu didn't speak, but she looked at the concubine concubine who had been famous for a long time without any trace.A woman in a coat was born as a court lady next to Empress Xiaoyi, but she was able to rank among the four concubines of Kangxi, on an equal footing with Concubine Hui Nala and Concubine Yi Guoluoluo who were born in the nobles of the Eight Banners.The ranking is still before Concubine Rong, who also gave birth to three sons and three daughters and has been in the palace for a longer time.Such a woman is by no means a simple character.What makes Daiyu pay more attention to her is that this woman is also the biological mother of her fourth brother.

Concubine De is not a gorgeous and stunning woman. Even though she is 40 years old and well maintained, she is still a bit less attractive than the beautiful and elegant Concubine Xian who is only 30 years old.It's just that Concubine De's temperament is obviously blended just right.There is both the grandeur of a Manchu woman and the gentleness of a Han woman. When I first met her, I just felt that this lady was very dignified and kind. After more than ten years of imperial concubine career, she also condensed a bit of royal nobility. In short, If you ignore the occasional eyes she looks at Yinzhen, this is a very comfortable woman.It's no wonder that the favor will continue to last forever.Daiyu lowered her eyes lightly, but she didn't let the emotion in her eyes show. She knew that Concubine De didn't like her, but she didn't seem to like Concubine De that much.Those who bully fourth brother are all bad guys!hum!Daiyu hummed softly in her heart.

Concubine Xian thought that Daiyu was sad because she had been wronged, so she quickly took Daiyu's hand and comforted her, "Concubine De can be unscrupulous for a while, Yugege, don't take it to heart."

Daiyu said softly: "My mother is serious. Daddy said that the nobles of the Eight Banners are the emperor's servants. It is also Daiyu's honor to serve Thirteen Gege." Concubine Xian patted her with a smile and said, "That's what we say, our royal family But he definitely won’t treat Zhongliang so lightly, who doesn’t know the rules and dares to ask noble girls from the Eight Banners to serve him?” Jingui, the Manchu daughter, especially the daughter-in-law of the noble family of the Eight Banners, if she is elected in the general election, she will stay in the harem and the rest will be married to her. The royal family members are the first-line Fujin and the side Fujin.Even the unsuccessful ones will be sent home to marry each other, and those who have never stayed in the palace to be maids of honor.Daiyu just smiled and did not speak.

Concubine Rong glanced at Concubine De, with an imperceptible smile on her lips.He knew in his heart that this concubine De had offended Lin Ruhai and his family.

Ke'er pulled Daiyu and said with a smile: "Sister Yu, don't be angry with Ke'er, Ke'er doesn't mean that. Ke'er just said that when sister Yu goes to the capital, we can see each other often." Daiyu covered her lips He smiled and said, "Gege is living in the palace, so I don't dare to see her often." Yinxiang said with a smile, "What does it matter? If Ke'er misses Sister Yu, just ask the fourth brother to pick her up from the palace." Yinzhen didn't say a word He just nodded slightly in agreement.Ke'er was overjoyed, and quickly wrote about the fourth brother.Seeing that this matter was just exposed, Concubine Xian also felt relieved, and started joking with Concubine Rong and Concubine De.After all, she doesn't want Yinzhen or Daiyu to have any conflicts with Concubine De here at this time.
