Chapter 78 Chapter 78(2/3)

After Concubine Hui finished complaining, she also noticed Concubine Rong's silence and couldn't help but get angry: "That's all. You boring gourd, you can't say a word for a long time. I'll find someone else."

Since the death of the late empress Tong Jia, Emperor Kangxi has not appointed another empress.

Now that the queen position is vacant, the four concubines are the eldest in the palace.

Concubine Hui left Concubine Rong alone, and when she wanted to speak ill of Concubine Yi again, she had no choice but to go to Concubine De.

What a pity.

Concubine De brought her children over today and devoted herself to them. For a while, she felt that the fifth princess’s hair ornament was not exquisite enough, so she asked the nun next to her to take the fifth princess to change it. For a while, she felt that the seventh princess’s jade pendant was not exquisite enough, so she asked her aunt to wear it.

Let the Seventh Princess choose another one.

He didn't bother to talk to Concubine Hui at all.

Concubine Hui was not annoyed, and kept to herself beside Concubine De: "You don't have to spoil the children like this. Look at Yinsu, I didn't even mention him, he has grown so big all of a sudden. Children, still

You have to let go and let them grow better on their own."

What Concubine Hui said was not entirely polite, she had indeed been doing this all along.

Concubine De was holding a jade belt and gesturing around her youngest son's waist. When she heard this, she casually responded: "If you don't love your son, that's your business. What does it have to do with me."

Concubine De and Concubine Hui have always been at odds with each other. They quarreled with Concubine Hui not once or twice.

...Concubine Hui is used to her temper.

Seeing that Concubine De was quarreling again today, Concubine Hui curled her lips, shook her fan and said: "My son is already married after all. And he is married to Concubine Yi's niece. As my son's status rises, I, the concubine, will also take advantage of it."

.You are jealous of me, I am not angry with you."

After hearing this, Concubine De took her eyes away from Brother Fourteen and raised her eyelids to look at Concubine Hui.

Concubine De was thinking about how to block Concubine Hui's mouth.

The fourteenth elder brother spoke slowly: "Ms. Hui Fei, you are indeed very honored by this marriage."

Concubine Hui smiled and patted Brother Fourteen on the shoulder with a fan: "Little Fourteen can still speak."

The fourteenth elder brother continued: "A few days ago, Yue Duan just made Huang Ama angry, and Huang Ama demoted him to a bastard. Ba Fujin's status has dropped a lot. Empress Hui Fei finally got Ba Fu.

The light of Fujin is a joy and congratulation."

Concubine Hui's smile froze at the corners of her lips.

She later realized that the Fourteenth Prince was mocking her. The Eighth Prince's marriage was far less prominent than when they were engaged.

Concubine Hui was very angry: "What do you know, you little kid!"

"You are so childish that you bumped into Concubine Hui. I hope Concubine Hui won't argue with him." Concubine De pinched the string and said with a smile.

Concubine Hui shook her fan in anger and stomped away.

Concubine De and her youngest son looked at each other and smiled, and they both became happy.

Concubine De asked, "Where is your sister-in-law? She said she has already entered the palace, why can't she be seen?" She looked around as she spoke.

The fourteenth elder brother thought for a while and replied: "My son just saw my sister-in-law talking to Mr. Feiyanggu's wife. My son thought that the mother and daughter had not seen each other for a long time and it was rare to see them, so my son did not disturb her."

After hearing this, Concubine De tightened her fingertips and couldn't help but sigh.

The fourth daughter-in-law is good at everything, but she always spoils the fourth child and thinks about the fourth child in everything. As a result, she is tied up in doing things.

For example, the fourth child has never made friends with the ministers and always stayed far away from them. The fourth daughter-in-law is also like this, and she doesn't even go to Ulanala's house very much.

Now the mother and daughter had the opportunity to meet each other at a banquet in the palace, so they could have a few more words.

My wife here is really sensible.

It is precisely because she is so sensible that it makes people feel more distressed.

Today my wife is also here.

Luo Jianing took the opportunity to see her mother again.

Today, Mrs. Aixinjueluo is wearing the robe of a married woman, and her clothes and accessories are all gorgeous. But her face is haggard, and she doesn't look as energetic as she did a few years ago.

Luo Jianing was thinking about her mother.

While the eighth elder brother had already left the palace to greet the bride, and the banquet had not yet begun, she went to Aixinjueluo's side to inquire carefully.

"Your Ama's health is getting worse every day." Aixinjueluo and his daughter went to a corner of the room where no one was around, wiping tears and said to her daughter: "I'm worried about his condition, I'm afraid he won't last a few days."

After Fei Yanggu resigned from office, Luo Jianing often went to Ulanala's house to visit her father and mother.

However, even if his father is no longer an official in the court, some of his descendants and in-laws from the Ulanala family are still serving as officials.

It is inevitable that others will take this opportunity to say something about Fourth Brother. Even if Luo Jianing goes back to her parents' home more often than before, she cannot do it too frequently.

She had just returned a few days ago, and she saw her father was fine at that time. Why was he suddenly not so well?

"His body keeps relapsing." Aixinjueluo wiped his tears gently and whispered: "It's not just a moment ago. It's just gotten worse recently. I'm worried and can't eat."

Luo Jianing shook her mother's hand: "Don't worry, Mother. I'll go home in the next two days and see my father again."

If it were in the past, Aixinjueluo would usually advise her, saying that for the sake of the fourth elder brother, there is no need to go home, lest others talk about the fourth elder brother behind his back.

But this time, Aixinjueluo nodded: "That's good. Your Ama will feel better after seeing you."

Although they were words of comfort, Luo Jianing's heart sank when she heard them.

Does this mean that Feiyanggu’s time is really running out?

Luo Jianing was secretly worried when she was tugged by Aixinjueluo's sleeve: "Are they from the late empress's family over there? The late empress raised the fourth elder brother and is considered his mother. Si Fujin

Do you want to go over and have a look?"

Luo Jianing glanced in the direction pointed by Aixinjueluo, and realized that she was talking about the father and son of Tong Jia's family, Tong Guowei and Long Keduo.

Luo Jianing knew that these two people should be thinking about Eighth Brother at the moment, so she decided not to feel uncomfortable, so she said: "Even relatives may not have the same heart. Mother, don't worry about us, let them go."

Aixinjueluo was the daughter of a clan, so she naturally knew a little about these things in the officialdom. After hearing this, she didn't say anything more and turned to chat with her daughter about how her grandson was doing recently.

Not long after, the newcomer arrived.

The eighth prince and the eighth prince followed the palace etiquette and completed the ceremony with the blessings of everyone. After the eighth prince entered the inner room, the eighth prince came to the banquet amidst the laughter of everyone, accepted everyone's congratulations, and

Toast to the elders.

Those who can attend the banquet in the palace are basically relatives of the emperor.

The guests gathered together in a very harmonious manner.

Tong Guowei couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that the eighth prince looked more handsome and elegant in his wedding clothes today. When the eighth prince came over, he took the initiative to raise a glass to congratulate him.

The eighth prince and Tong Jia's family didn't have much contact with each other.

However, after he was canonized as Baylor, the people of Tong Jia's family expressed their goodwill to him many times, both covertly and overtly. Even sometimes after Tong Guowei and the others attended the morning court, they "met" him several times, and the conversation was quite congenial.

.

When the eighth prince saw Tong Guowei taking the initiative to propose a toast, he responded with a smile. Immediately afterwards, Tong Guowei's son Longkodo also proposed a toast to him, and he also responded with a smile.

This scene was watched by everyone, and they thought it was nothing.

But Emperor Kangxi, who had been paying attention to what was going on at the banquet, looked majestic and thoughtful when he saw this scene.

Emperor Kangxi originally liked the eighth prince very much.

Now that he saw that Tong Jia's father and son had a close relationship with Eighth Prince, he felt unhappy.

Tong Guowei and Long Keduo were originally supposed to be members of his family. And because Queen Tong Jiaxian had raised Yinzhen, these two people could also be regarded as relatives of the fourth elder brother.

But the father and son were not close to him, nor were they close to the fourth elder brother. But they were so close to the eighth elder brother...

Emperor Kangxi looked unhappy for a moment.

Tong Guowei has been in the officialdom for so many years and has become a human being. Although he cares most about his eighth prince, he also does not forget to pay attention to the emperor's movements.

After all, no matter how good the brothers are, it is Emperor Kangxi who holds the decisive power.

Tong Guowei saw that the emperor's face was unhappy, and it happened after the father and son toasted the eighth prince. Tong Guowei saw that the situation was slightly wrong, and pulled his son Longko to the side.

"Didn't you tell me before that Eighth Prince Yinsu was good?" Tong Guowei asked Longkodo softly.

Longkodo responded naturally: "Yes."

"I'm taking care of Brother Eighth's side." Tong Guowei said, "But you can't join me."

Longkodo frowned: "How do you say this?"

Tong Guowei raised his chin towards Brother Si.

Longkodo looked confused. He didn't know what Amma, an old fox, wanted to do. But no matter what, he would listen to Amma.

So Longkodo took the opportunity to toast Si Age again with a glass of wine.

Luo Jianing naturally saw the actions of Tong Jia's father and son. However, she was sitting on the side of the female guests and saw Si Age and Long Keduo drinking together, so it was hard to say anything on the spot.

Luo Jianing is here looking at Brother Si worriedly.

After a while, someone came over to talk to her: "Is Si Fujin worried about Si Age?" The other person's voice was filled with a smile: "Is Si Fujin worried about Si Age being too drunk, or is Si Fujin not liking Si Age?

Does my brother have any contact with people from Tong Jia’s family?"
To be continued...
