The Woman Behind Kangxi: The Biography of Virtuous Concubine

Chapter 139
Ning De hurriedly hugged Yin Zuo to Yin Zhen, and said softly, "This is your little brother, come and say hello to him?"

Yinzhen curled her lips: "Tsk, I don't have such a crying brother! Huang Ama said that a man can't shed tears, I'm a man!"

Ning De looked at Yin Zhen, who was pretending to be a little adult, and his thoughts were drawn to that year's New Year's Eve. Prince Yin Reng seemed to have said the same thing to him in his arms. Time flies so fast. Suddenly, the baby who was still in his arms and didn't understand anything back then has grown so big now that he and the older self don't know each other anymore.

Ning De now only sees Yinzhen in front of him. He didn't notice that Pearl went out and came in again and handed Concubine Tong a note. With a wink, he said to Ningde: "Let the two brothers go down to play first, sister, I want to talk to you, don't keep them alone."

Ning De looked up and saw the note in Concubine Tong's hand, and knew that she had something serious to tell him, so he cleared his mind, let go of Yinzhen's hand with a little reluctance, and handed Yinzuo carefully to the nurse .

Concubine Tong noticed the way Ningde looked at Yinzhen, saw that Yinzhen had already entered the inner room, took Ningde's hand and said, "Sister, you are in good health now, and you can come to Chengqian Palace when you want to. Didn’t we agree? Don’t care what people say, Zhen’er is our common child. You and Zuo’er will stay for dinner later, even though my Chengqian Palace is not as good as your small kitchen in Yonghe Palace. The food is delicious, but if my sister doesn't dislike it, she can stay and go back later, so that we can talk about ourselves, and I will miss you if we haven't seen you for a few months."

Ningde smiled: "My sister has a heart. I am afraid that I will call my sister the empress when I see her next time. I have nothing to dislike. I am worried that my sister will ignore me as a little concubine after becoming the empress." gone."

Concubine Tong might as well change her eyes, and even her voice stammered a little. It can be heard that she is still keen on fame and fortune. No matter how well she pretends, she is still unwilling to be a noble concubine: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty has revealed his true self to you?"

Ning De smiled and shook his head: "No, the emperor didn't say anything, but I'm afraid my sister has got the news, right?"

Concubine Tong didn't know why, until she saw Ning De smiling and looking at the note in her hand, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I know what you are referring to, it turned out to be this matter, your ear is also good I know that today Yipin took people to Yongshou Palace to look for bad luck, but this is also a trivial matter, and it won't cause much trouble, so let them make a fuss."

Ning De shook his head, and said confidently: "It's not a big deal, but someone will always have some way to make it a big deal. Sister, let's see, after today, the layout of the harem will always change."

Concubine Tong squinted at her, pursed her lips and smiled first: "You are quite sure, the more I feel that you are more and more like the emperor, you pretend to be deep and narrow in front of me, and you just pretend Well, guess my sister is old and useless, right?"

Seeing that Concubine Tong was joking with her, Ning De stopped teasing her. He simply pointed out and analyzed with her carefully: "It has been more than three years since the emperor conferred the harem last time. Chang Zai gave birth to the Seventh Elder Brother, but she is still in the position of Chang Zai even though she has not been promoted. Although the new Wei family has quite a holy family, she has no official title yet, and now..." Ning De glanced at Yongshou Palace He continued, "There is still trouble over there. Although I don't know what the result will be, someone will come down and someone will go up. In this way, the emperor probably wants to wait for these seats to be canonized together, sister , is now a concubine, and now the entire harem does not even have a concubine position, and there is probably no one who can threaten the status of the elder sister. It is unreasonable not to be promoted to the harem if the elder sister is not promoted. After the death of Empress Chengren, this post has been vacant for three years, and now it has been almost three years since Xiao Zhaoren passed away. There is news from the front that the war in the south may be calmed down at the beginning of the year. This time, the emperor is Waiting for the opportunity to have a good celebration, canonization, I guess, it will be soon, it will be in these few months."
