Kangxi was extremely efficient in doing things, and soon the news that the palace was going to hold a Spring Festival banquet reached all the elder brothers’ houses.

Naturally, the fourth elder brother's house also received the news.

Luo Jianing prepared everything in advance and prepared a set of clothes for herself that looked dignified and generous, and she happily waited for the moment of entering the palace.

Zhang Tingyu had to go to the Hanlin Academy on this day and did not have much free time, but he assigned a lot of homework to Brother Hui. Therefore, if Brother Hui wanted to complete his homework seriously, he would not be able to follow him to the palace.

The princes of the Qing Dynasty were not delicate, and they respected their teachers. They had to go to class at four or five in the morning, and they had homework to do in the evening. If you met the masters and wanted to punish them, you would have to accept the punishment without saying a word.

This is what the princes do, and they teach their children to do the same when they grow up.

Now that Brother Hui has become a teacher, Yinzhen also strictly requires him to study hard with his teacher.

Yinzhen repeatedly told Brother Hui to listen carefully to Mr. Zhang and not to disobey him. Brother Hui was also well-behaved and treated Zhang Tingyu with great respect.

Therefore, Brother Hui cannot participate in the Spring Appreciation Banquet.

He was obedient and sensible. When he saw his mother was going to the palace by carriage, he respectfully saw her off beside the carriage: "My mother has a safe journey. My son is studying at home and waiting for her."

Luo Jianing looked at the child's cute appearance and couldn't help feeling very emotional.

——A cute doll who was very naughty and mischievous when he was a child. Why does he look more and more like his father as he grows up?

well.

Luo Jianing left home and entered the palace. She first went to the Empress Dowager to pay her respects to her, and then went to Yonghe Palace to pay her respects to Concubine De.

The weather is not particularly hot now, but Concubine De held in her hand the latest model of a round fan that had just been sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was not for cooling off, but she was just shaking it gently.

She looked puzzled: "You said the emperor has nothing to do, why do you want to hold a Spring Festival banquet?" Could it be that the emperor is too idle?

No wonder Concubine De is so confused.

Emperor Kangxi did not easily hold such a banquet for appreciating flowers and grass in the harem. Usually it was necessary to hold a banquet, but it was not his idea, but the concubine's idea.

Luo Jianing knew that her behavior would make Concubine De feel strange, so she quietly told Concubine De what the emperor had said to her before.

Concubine De was startled: "Oh! Guarjia is so young, is she going to be promoted? Could it be that she is a concubine?"

Naguarjia was a beautiful girl who entered the palace a few years ago. She was only fourteen years old when she was selected by the emperor, and it took a few years for her to become his favor. Unexpectedly, she was very lucky, and she is now pregnant.

Concubine De vaguely felt that the emperor wanted to canonize the Guarjia family at the end of last year. Seeing that the emperor had not made any move, she was still wondering what was going on.

It turned out to be delayed until now.

Luo Jianing didn't expect that Concubine De's focus was not on Wei promised, but on the Guarjia family. She couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Why didn't Concubine Mother ask me, why did Emperor Ama want to talk to me about this?

"

"Ahem. Isn't it just because of the matter of Yinhu's biological mother? It's such a big deal." Concubine De shook her fan twice: "Yinhu's biological mother, I'm not telling you, she's usually so quiet that she won't let anyone see her.

Pay attention. Moreover, she doesn’t have the talent or ability to win over the emperor. Just give her a promotion. Yinzhu is already so old, so she deserves a promotion."

Concubine De paused, then couldn't help but ask: "Do you think the emperor will give Guarjia a concubine or a concubine?"

Only then did Luo Jianing understand that in the harem, the women's focus was always on the "emperor's favor" rather than the woman herself.

This is the biggest difference from Emperor Kangxi.

Such as this time.

Emperor Kangxi felt that if he promised to raise Wei's position, the concubines would be unhappy.

But the problem is, except for Concubine Yi, who is related to the eighth prince, no one else will pay much attention to the incident between the eighth prince and Xiao Dong E at the end of last year.

In comparison, the concubines paid more attention to who the emperor really loved.

Therefore, Concubine De would consider what position Guarjia would get. As for the promise of Wei, who could not get the emperor's favor, she would not consider it as a concubine.

Luo Jianing thought carefully and said: "Isn't it too young to be granted the title of concubine? It's most likely that she is a concubine."

Guarjia is only eighteen years old now, so she is too young for the title of concubine.

Emperor Kangxi was a rational man, and even if he doted on her, he would not give her too high a position at such a young age.

Concubine De held her fan and said slowly, "But the emperor really loves her."

"Probably a title will be added." Luo Jianing said: "A title can also be given to show grace."

Concubine De thought about it, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that what her daughter-in-law said was reasonable, so she slapped her fan on the table and said, "Let's go, Concubine will take you to enjoy the flowers."

Today, the Emperor is hosting a Spring Appreciation Banquet, saying that he is inviting the concubines and brother Fujin to enjoy the flowers together and have a lunch as well.

Many concubines in the harem have already gone to the imperial garden mentioned by Emperor Kangxi. I heard that many flowers are in full bloom now and the scenery is very beautiful.

Concubine De was too lazy to go there just now, because there must be many women hanging around the Guarjia family now - even though she still doesn't know the news about the emperor's promotion of her, but now that she is pregnant, the emperor often goes to her palace to accompany her.

She is enough to see the magnificence of her grace.

In this way, those women who rarely have the opportunity to see the emperor will naturally ask her to stay with her. Even if there is no benefit, it would be better for the emperor to see them one more time.

Concubine De heard about this just now and didn't bother to argue with those women, so she didn't go over.

Now that she learned about this from her daughter-in-law, she felt confident and wanted to go over and take a look at the current situation of this woman who was about to be promoted.

It's not like she has anything to argue with the Gualga family.

Today, she has two children. Her eldest son and two daughters are married and living happily. Although her two younger sons are not married yet, they are very successful.

She felt that she was very satisfied.

It's just that if you want to survive peacefully in this harem, in addition to having a high status, you also have to pay attention to those women who are very favored.

Now that Concubine De has her own position and status, she can be regarded as neither high nor low in terms of favor.

So as long as she pays attention to the trends in the harem, doesn't make any big troubles, and doesn't make any big mistakes, her future life will be quite stable.

After Concubine De made up her mind, she led her daughter-in-law to the Imperial Garden with great pride.

As the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked to the Imperial Garden talking and laughing, on the other side, in Yikun Palace, another pair of future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also met quietly.

The second princess of Dong E's family came to the palace to pay her respects to Concubine Yi. First, she heard that the emperor held a spring banquet, and she secretly wanted to see if she could attend.

Secondly, she heard from San Fujin that Brother Jiu had a concubine who was pregnant.

In fact, not only the ninth elder brother, but also the tenth elder brother also had a concubine who was pregnant.

Logically speaking, if the wife has not married yet, the concubine should not be pregnant.

But after the incident caused by the little Dong E family, Emperor Kangxi turned a blind eye to the pregnancy of the concubine next to the ninth elder brother - he did not intend to give the Dong E family much face.

The tenth prince's concubine was fishing in troubled waters, and she got pregnant at about this time.

Emperor Kangxi spared one and two others, so he let them both go.

These things are not a big problem in the eyes of the people in the harem.

——Others are not sure that the Dong E family has changed their character to Jiu Fu Jin, but the women in the harem have seen the young Dong E family many times.

Young Dong E was not seen attending several family banquets, and Dong E's family did not make any comments. This explains the problem.

Many people have already tasted it secretly.

Therefore, it is normal for the concubines in the harem to think that Jiu Age's concubine is pregnant: since the future Fujin of Dong E's family has done something wrong, then Jiu Age's concubine should be kept for Jiu Age first and then

There's nothing wrong with that.

After all, Brother Jiu is a prince and a member of the Tianhuang noble family, and his status is much higher than that of the Dong E family. Since the one with lower status made the mistake first, the one with higher status will also make a "mistake", and at most it will be even.

However, after this matter was reported to Dong E's family, Er Gege couldn't sit still.

Why should she, the younger sister, bear the responsibility for the wrong things her eldest sister did?

Oh, a concubine and a concubine are here before anyone has even walked in. What a big deal!

The two members of the Dong E family did not remain calm. After talking to their mother today, they came to the palace to look for Concubine Yi without even informing their father.

After Er Gege saw Concubine Yi, she held the handkerchief and sobbed: "Concubine, please comment, what is this matter about? She is just a concubine, why should she bully me?"

She is cute and well-behaved. Compared with her sister's docile appearance, she is more lovable when she cries.

Yifei has also been feeling very uncomfortable recently.

Faced with the questioning from the Dong E family, she could only sigh: "The emperor has acquiesced in this matter, so what can I do?"

"The Emperor acquiesced, that is, he did not say anything." Er Gege immediately changed her crying look, took Concubine Yi's right hand with both hands, and said Jiao Didi: "If the concubine speaks to the Emperor, I will abort the fetus of Jiu Age's concubine."

Yes, I think it will work."

Concubine Yi looked at Ergege in disbelief.

Why does she feel that this girl behaves a bit like Ba Fujin? It is natural that she can even give birth to a child.

"The Emperor's acquiescence to something is equivalent to the Emperor's agreement." Concubine Yi calmly took out her arm: "Since the Emperor agreed, no matter who takes action on this matter, they are disobeying the Holy Will."

Having said that, Concubine Yi was afraid that this young and ignorant Ergege would do something extreme again, so she couldn't help but said: "For example, if you can stand in front of me properly today, this is also the emperor's tacit approval. Without the emperor's consent, no one in the palace can do anything."

No flowers can be found."

Concubine Yi naturally knew that the emperor must know about the fact that the second princess of the Dong E family could enter the palace today.

Who can hide everything that happens in the palace from the emperor? Let alone a big living person entering the palace.

She also knew that the Emperor's tacit approval of Er Gege's coming over was his tacit approval of Er Gege's approach as the future Jiu Fu Jin and to frequently visit her as her mother-in-law.
