Yonghe Palace is in the East Sixth Palace, some way away from Chuxiu Palace, a group of people silently walked in the palace alley, some eunuchs on the side saw the queen's phoenix coming, and quickly got up and faced the palace wall, with their backs to the queen to show respect.

"Niangniang," An Qian couldn't help but ask, "Although this matter is harder, if it is done, it is a great achievement, and the credit is comparable to the Suo Etu of the Kangxi Dynasty, why does Niangniang entrust this matter to Concubine Li's mother's family?" Wouldn't it be better to hand it over to Grandpa Chengen? ”

Xingzhen looked at a few kites in the sky in the distance on the sedan chair, and when she heard Anqian's question, she came back to her senses and said: "You don't have to add the icing on the cake to your own family for everything, leave some for others to do, people will be grateful to you, and there will always be some people who can talk in the outer court in the future of this palace." "The internal and external dynasties refer to each other, is the only way for women to settle down, although now in Li Hongzhang, Zeng Guofan, Monk Wang and others have made some friends, but these people are biased towards the military, this former dynasty political people, really blind." If Li Concubine's father is useful, it doesn't hurt if I give this a big gift, he will naturally be grateful to the palace in the future, some things I don't want to say, the news spreads, maybe someone else will have a fold, this will be said naturally, and some people will not be suspicious. ”

"Yes, mother, you are very right."

"That's it, you go back and check the belly pocket given by Concubine Li carefully, first take it to the small kitchen to steam it in a steamer for some time, and then put it in the sun to dry it to kill and sterilize, we can't have the heart to harm people, and we can't have the heart to prevent people." This year's infectious disease is no joke.

"Yes, I do."

Xingzhen returned to Chuxiu Palace, and heard Tang Wufu's announcement, saying that Concubine Zhen was already playing with the nurse with the eldest brother, Xingzhen washed her hands first, and then went to the warm pavilion to see her son, only to see Concubine Zhen wearing a flag costume of Yao Huang peony and phoenix butterflies flying, with a red treasure on her head, plus jade, and a tassel of rice beads hanging on the side, although she was low-key and did not like luxury, in the end, she did not lose the bearing that she should have in the concubine position, Concubine Zhen was holding a rattle and teasing the eldest brother Zaichun, the eldest brother was already a big circle at this time than when he was born, He stared at the rattle with wide eyes, and grinned coldly. Xingzhen saw that Concubine Zhen and the eldest brother were interacting, so she pursed her lips and smiled and didn't speak, or Concubine Zhen raised her head and saw the queen standing outside the warm pavilion and looking at herself with a smile, so she hurriedly handed the eldest brother in her hand to the nurse, put down the rattle, sorted out her clothes, raised her hand to ask the queen to say goodbye, Xingzhen entered the warm pavilion, helped up the concubine, and then smiled: "There is no need to be polite when we meet every day, I have also said this many times, what, my sister is free to come to my Chuxiu Palace today?" ”

"One is to meet the mother, and the other is to see the eldest brother, I haven't seen it for a few days, but it's a little weird, and I hope the queen won't blame it." Concubine Zhen reluctantly glanced at the eldest brother, Xingzhen smiled, helped Concubine Zhen on the kang, the two sat down left and right, the palace maid served tea up, Xingzhen said: "What is this, I, I am busy every day, it is rare to take care of the eldest brother in person, sister, if you are free, then come to Chuxiu Palace, take care of the eldest brother, the palace will thank you." ”

Concubine Zhen was overjoyed, seeing that Concubine Zhen really liked the eldest brother, she hurriedly got up and made a big salute, "If the queen mother does not dislike the concubine and bluntness, the concubine is very willing to take care of the eldest brother in Chuxiu Palace!" ”

"It's all said that you don't have to be polite, get up quickly." Xingzhen asked Concubine Zhen to hurry up, "In the end, it's best for you to give birth to your own sister, so you can see you every day." ”

Concubine Zhen lowered her head abruptly, like a lily with dew, and her voice was poignant, "The concubine has been with the emperor for the longest time, but she has never been pregnant, she has survived for so many years, and now she has finally figured it out. ”

Xingzhen patted Concubine Zhen's hand to show comfort, "That's it, this matter is still good with fate, you can't force it, now you help this palace take care of this ** thing, if you help this palace take care of the eldest brother in the future, I'm afraid you won't be free day and night." ”

"Where did it come from, the concubine was really happy to see the eldest brother, so she came to Chuxiu Palace with a cheeky face, but I didn't expect the mother to be kind and generous, so that the concubine could help take care of the eldest brother, the concubine is really grateful."

My sister laughed. The two discussed some trivial matters in the Six Palaces, and Xingzhen told Concubine Zhen about Emperor Xianfeng's preparation to canonize Concubine Li as a concubine, and told her to prepare things related to canonization, and changed the topic again, "You Ama are still in office in Youjiang Dao?" ”

"In June of the third year of Xianfeng, Amma, the concubine, got an outstanding result in the assessment of the ministry and was transferred to Ningbo Mansion, and now he is the same acquaintance of Ningbo Mansion."

Really sleepy met the soft pillow, Xingzhen suddenly became interested, Ningbo is one of the few ports opened by China with the signing of the "Nanjing Treaty", and now the Chinese and foreign exchanges are more frequent, "Then he can often see Yangyi?" ”

"The letter from the concubine's father said that you can see Yangyi every day with the prefect, with red hair, yellow hair, blue eyes and green eyes of various colors, which is really strange in the world."

"This is nature, they are of Europa, and in the future you will be able to see black people with black bodies, only the whites of their eyes and teeth are white, that is, Kunlun Nu." Xingzhen didn't care, and in the future, foreigners would see more, "There are some things in this palace that I want your father to do, I don't know if your father is happy or not." ”

"The concubine's father is naturally the same as the concubine, and he is willing to smear his liver and brain for his mother." Concubine Zhen hurriedly expressed her loyalty.

"There is no need to be on the ground, as long as you are careful to be an errand, now the emperor in the south is most important is to sweep away the thief, if this matter is a jackpot out, presumably sister, your Ama may be like my father, when to rise back to this Beijing city is not difficult."

"If the mother has an order, the concubines will all obey it."

"That's good, follow this palace, it won't make you suffer, you tell Amma, so ...... so"

After the two finished speaking, Xingzhen asked Tang Wufu to bring up the lunch, the palace maids put the bowl in the bowl, and after a while, the group came up with a bowl of white jade porcelain with a red ground depiction of gold passionflower pattern, a bowl of pipa prawns, a bowl of Ruyi lion's head, and scallion oil sea cucumber, melon stuffed scallop egg custard, blood swallow stewed fire party, stir-fried Ma Lantou, a bowl of Korean ginseng pheasant soup, the two talked and laughed, and after a while, they had lunch, Anqian handed over mouthwash, and the little eunuch presented soft and warm towels, and Concubine Zhen accompanied the queen to gossip for a while, hugged the eldest brother again, and saw that the queen was a little tired, so he got up and said goodbye, let the queen rest, Xingzhen nodded, "If you are free, often come to the palace to go around." ”

"Yes, the concubine retired." Concubine Zhen was as polite as a ceremony, and went out of Chuxiu Palace with Mei Xin's hand, Xingzhen yawned, and everyone knew that it was the queen's fixed lunch break time, so they didn't dare to disturb, and withdrew from the East Warm Pavilion one by one, and the nurse also took the eldest brother back to the West Warm Pavilion to settle.
