Concubine Hui sighed, stood up and stepped forward to help Zhang Bin up: "I told you, it doesn't have to be like this."
With tears in her eyes and her face full of gratitude, Zhang Bin said, "I really don't dare to think about it if I don't have my empress to make the decision for me."
Concubine Hui shook her head and said: "This is nothing. If you go to Yikun Palace, Concubine Yi will not stand still."
Zhang Bin said in shame: "It's because I can't stand up on my own that I've caused trouble to you and made the emperor unhappy."
Concubine Hui looked at her and said with Wen Xu: "After suffering this loss, just remember this lesson in the future. To live in this palace, you don't have to break up with anyone, but you don't need to be too careful, just follow the rules. , close the door and let everyone live their own lives, feel more comfortable..."
Zhang Bin listened.
The previous concubine Duan never interacted with concubines from other palaces. She thought it was because of the various concubines of the concubine Duan.
Thinking about the four concubines in the palace, I haven't heard of any personal relationships on weekdays, but they just have a "well water does not offend the river water" meaning.
Seeing that she was well-behaved, Concubine Hui gave her a few more words: "From now on, when you become a Chuxiu official, you will be the chief official, and there will be concubines under you. You must also learn to manage people. You can't bully or be too indulgent." It’s burning.”
There are more and more young concubines in the officialdom, but the official house is fixed, and no one can monopolize a palace.
She did not mention the concubine of Changchun Palace.
Concubine Duan insulted Concubine Zhang, not just once or twice. Concubine Wang was just a stone and had witnessed it many times.
Everyone has their own position. Maybe she is soft-spoken and can't get involved in the disputes between the concubines, but Zhang Concubine is not willing to see her again.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Concubine took the initiative to mention it and said, "My Lady, Chu Xiuguan is vacant now, can you please let Wang Concubine come with me?"
Concubine Hui looked at her without nodding or shaking her head.
Zhang Concubine's face turned pale and she said: "In May, I was confused and wanted to kill myself. Guizhi stopped me, and Guizhi also injured my hand. It was the concubine Wang who helped cover it up, so I hid it."
It is a serious crime for an official concubine to commit suicide.
The concubine's move was no less than a life-saving grace.
Concubine Hui's expression softened slightly and she said, "It's not a big deal, but you can't just open your mouth and lead people away. When you go to Yikun Palace to pay your respects to Concubine Yi, just tell Concubine Yi."
Concubine Zhang said: "Thank you, empress. I know that concubine Wei is also gentle and gentle. It will not be a thing of the past for the concubine Wang to stay in Changchun Palace. But she is also pitiful. She was assigned to Changchun Palace when she entered the palace. Previously, concubine Duan used to call her, just like When summoning servants and maids, she will tremble when she hears the concubine's voice, and her courage will be shattered..."
Concubine Hui didn't say much.
With the lessons learned from past concubines, no main concubine would dare to insult the younger concubines, but leaving the sixth palace without an owner is also a hidden danger.
It has only been three or four years now, and there is already chaos. I think the emperor will make a decision.
big.
Changchun Garden, Qingxi Bookstore.
Zhao Chang has come back to resume his duties, and the official lady Dong has arranged for eunuchs and guards to be sent to Nanyuan Palace.
Kangxi looked at Zhao Chang and ordered: "This official investigation, I want to see if there are such tyrannical people elsewhere..."
In fact, last year, because of Aunt Liu from the second institute, we conducted an inspection at the Brother's Office; and a few years ago, we conducted another inspection at the Brother's Office, and also conducted an inspection at the Princess' Office.
Zhao Chang hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, what about Ning Shou Guan and Yu Qing Guan?"
Although these two places are also in the palace, there are usually many special cases.
Just like the previous investigation of the princess's office, even in Ningshou Palace, only the princess's office was investigated, and no other places of Ningshou Palace were investigated.
Kangxi pondered and said: "Tongcha!"
This is his Forbidden City, and he cannot allow it to become a harbor for filth and evil.
Zhao Chang responded respectfully.
Kangxi said: "You have gone to Yikunguan. How does Concubine Yi look?"
After Zhao Chang heard this, he immediately remembered the crisp laughter that filled the room.
He said truthfully: "When I left, Jiu Fujin was waiting beside me. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were as close as mother and daughter, and the empress also smiled happily."
Kangxi listened and nodded slightly.
Compared with Lao Jiu, Lao Jiu's wife is indeed reliable.
They are also direct members of the Dong E family, and Qi Xi is better than Peng Chun in raising his children.
Now the Duke's inheritance is decided, that second-class uncle.
Kangxi pondered for a moment, put the matter aside, and asked again: "Where is Concubine Hui?"
Zhao Chang considered it and said: "Master Hui was a little quiet and didn't say anything else."
Kangxi waved his hand and sent Zhao Chang away.
He looked down at the desk. On it were simple diagrams of the six east and west palaces.
Currently, the Chengqian Palace in the East Sixth Palace is vacant, and the Yongshou Palace and Chuxiu Palace in the West Sixth Palace are vacant.
Chu Xiuguan was given to Zhang Bin, so there were only two places left, Chengqian Palace and Yongshou Official.
Previously, he originally planned to promote Concubine Tong to the rank of noble concubine and move her to the Qian official position, leaving Jing Ren official idle.
Jingren Palace is the place where his biological mother, Queen Xiaokangzhang, and his third successor, Queen Xiaoyi, lived, which is of extraordinary significance.
Now because of Tong Guowei's prosecution, this noble concubine does not want to be sealed, but she still wants to move Concubine Tong out of Jingren Palace, so it will be difficult to move into Chengqian Palace.
His eyes fell on Yongshou Guan, and he drew a circle with his pen.
This was left to Concubine Tong, and no one else could say anything.
But then there will no longer be any empty rooms in the palace.
If there is a need to register a concubine in the future, it will still be necessary for the two masters to occupy the same palace.
This is not appropriate in the Fourth Concubine's officialdom.
Kangxi's eyes still fell on Changchun Palace.
Changchun Palace is spacious and has a better location than Xianfu Palace.
Wei concubines have always been gentle and gentle, and if they are promoted, they can enter the back hall of Changchun Palace.
big.
To say that it was only a shock in the palace before, but after two days, it spread to the outside, and even the outside was shaken.
Who would have thought that concubines could be deposed?
The last time there was such turmoil in the harem was when Emperor Shizu demoted the queen to the rank of concubine.
This empress has been quiet for many years.
The heads of Dong's natal family are now brothers and have no rank.
However, her uncle's clan has a title, and the current head of the clan is her cousin Dong Dianbang. He is currently the sixth-rank head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the clan leader.
Kangxi was magnanimous and did not blame the Dong family. He mentioned that the Dong family was waiting in the official position for a long time. It was because he had gone astray, and it was not that the Dong family had lost their teachings, so they should not be afraid.
The resume of former concubine and current palace lady Dong was also uncovered.
It was actually the Empress Dowager who selected her into the palace in the second year of Kangxi’s reign!
Like the late Hui Fei Borjijit and Rong Fei Ma, they stayed in officialdom for many years!
In the fourth year of Kangxi's reign, before the wedding, he and Concubine Rong served in front of the emperor, becoming one of the first two concubines in the harem.
It's been too long, and Duan concubine has no sense of presence in the harem.
In addition to the seventh concubine who was registered together in the 16th year of Kangxi, many people thought that her qualifications were similar to those of other concubines.
Unexpectedly, seniority is not seniority, but the oldest.
Shouldn't an old concubine who is old and lustful should take good care of herself in her old age?
Why did you beat the palace man to death?
Someone inquired out of curiosity, and somehow found out about Zhang Bin.
Many people in the world have pity for the weak.
More often than not, what I think about is not "There must be something hateful about poor people", but "There may be something pitiable about hateful people."
He said some bad things about Zhang Bin.
One has an elder brother and two beloved concubines, and the other is an old concubine who is old and lustful and has no love.
All kinds of lies were made up, and they secretly speculated that Zhang Bin was arrogant and bullied Duan Bin, which made Duan Bin so depressed that she only dared to attack those around her.
After all, the person she beat to death was not someone else, but the "female of the family", an old slave who had accompanied her into the palace and served for decades.
I have heard of the saying that "master and servant love each other deeply", but this "master and servant can kill each other" is really rare.
Shu Shu was in the second office and also heard Zhou Song tell the details about the Dong family.
She calculated in her mind that she entered the palace thirty-seven years ago.
Mr. Dong is now forty-seven or eight years old, which means he is only ten years old.
It turns out that raising children and wives in this palace did not start with Sifujin!
No wonder Kangxi didn't vent his anger on the Dong family, and indeed he couldn't.
It's none of your business, just hang it up high.
She heard it and threw it aside.
Among Yanxi officials, there are people who care about it and cause chaos.
There are a lot of rumors outside, and they also reached the ears of the Thirteenth Prince today.
But no one dared to say anything to his face. He only knew how to kill people, and his biological mother took refuge in Yanxi official to recuperate.
He panicked then.
Zhang's concubine reported illness not just in one or two days, but in the first month of the year.
He had sent the nanny next to him to say hello, but the reply was "whooping cough", which was not a serious illness.
In the past few months, his retinue had also written to Zhang Pin, and the reply he received was that the weather had warmed up and the cough had stopped, so he didn't need to worry.
Now that he heard this, he was furious.
Duan concubine is so cruel, what about my mother-in-law?
Have you ever been bullied after living with her for ten years?
He was worried, so he went directly to the emperor to ask for an order.
Otherwise, he would not be allowed to ask for leave to go to the study, and he would not be able to enter the inner court.
Kangxi did not stop him and nodded to let him come back to visit his mother.
So, after the Thirteenth Prince quickly returned to the palace, he went directly to Yanxi Palace to meet Zhang Bin.
Zhang Bin had been hesitating in the past two days, knowing that the matter in Changchun Palace was going to be a big deal, and her brother was afraid that he would ask for details, so he didn't want to tell his son the truth.
But she was also a little worried.
"Liver stagnation" is okay, "breast addiction" may be better, maybe it is.
Looking at the tall and handsome young man, Zhang Bin felt it was difficult to speak, but she still lowered her eyes and slowly told the truth about the accident.
Brother Thirteen was dumbfounded.
He really didn't expect that his previous worries would come true. Duan concubine had indeed bullied E Niang, and she had bullied her for so long.
"Concubine Hui is fair and lenient. My mother has caused trouble for her this time. Brother, please bear this in mind."
The Dong family is not an ordinary wealthy family. They have the second-class title of Adaha Hafan and the rank of assistant.
None of Dong's own brothers and nephews are outstanding. The nephews on his uncle's side are all serving as officials now, and they are all high-ranking officials.
Even if the current grade is not high, it is still a matter of age and seniority. When seniority comes up, the grade will not be low.
If the Dong family held grudges, not only would they hold grudges against Concubine Zhang, the "culprit", but Concubine Hui, who brought the matter to the imperial court, would probably also be grudged.
"Also, the Tenth Prince did show displeasure towards my mother and son after the death of the imperial concubine. I'm afraid Mr. Dong also provoked it. You can find a time to make it clear to the Tenth Prince to avoid resentment among the brothers."
The thirteenth brother's tears rolled down.
He almost lost his mother!
How can a child not be attached to his mother?
It was only because they had been separated for many years and mother and son could see each other only a handful of times a year that they seemed unfamiliar.
Now that he heard about his biological mother's plight, Brother Thirteen felt extremely regretful.
If he had asked Aunt Guo a few more times before, he would have gotten some clues.
Zhang Bin told her son this not to make him feel guilty, but because she was afraid that his illness might happen.
She touched her son's head and said lovingly, "Don't cry. I want to thank you. It's you who saved my mother this time."
Brother Thirteen raised his head, a little confused.
Zhang Bin said: "E Niang was in over her head at that time. She just felt that she was being bullied. It would be better to lose her purity directly, lest one day she can't hold it back and actually kill Duan Bin, which would in turn make you brothers and sisters become 'sons of sinners'. It's you. I sent ice and woke E Niang up. Even if E Niang lost her holy family and still has a son, E Niang doesn’t want to die..."
"ice?!"
Brother Thirteen showed shock on his face and said, "Is it really because of Bing that Mom didn't coax her son?"
Zhang Bin nodded and affirmed: "It's because of Bing that I see hope. Not only do I have a son, but my son has grown up and can start to protect me."
Brother Thirteen's face was horrified and his body was trembling.
He was extremely scared.
What would have been the consequences if Brother Ninth hadn't asked him about the ice on the first day of June?
I really can’t even think about it.
