Chapter 150: Maybe it’s a shameful “food”
Lu Pheasant, who watched another scene, had no idea that she was one of the sources of this scene.
If Kangxi hadn't paid attention to Sifujin that day.
No matter how fast Wu Yashi moved, the emperor did not arrive at Yonghe Palace so early, and she could not take the initiative to take the embroidery box to Qianqing Palace to perform.
Not only did it arouse the alarm of other concubines, but the overacting would inevitably offend the emperor.
According to Wu Ya's observation, Kangxi liked smart courtiers, but if it was a woman in the harem, he preferred a well-behaved woman. Even if she was as stupid as Concubine Yi, who couldn't hold her tongue, he would find it somewhat interesting.
You can play some tricks in front of him, as long as he can see it clearly, he will regard it as fun.
But if you take it too seriously, it will be counterproductive.
Why are the three ladies with illustrious surnames and their younger sisters who later entered the palace not as popular as their elder sisters?
In addition to the fact that the emperor has reached adulthood, he no longer needs to rely on his position in the harem to form a marriage alliance.
There is also the reason why Kangxi has accumulated great power and does not like women who are too complicated.
He has already selected the prince, and those women who are too ambitious are obviously not suitable for being placed in more important positions.
Otherwise, once they give birth to a prince, they will inevitably threaten the prince's status.
On the contrary, the women in Shangsanqi are more helpful to him in consolidating his power and are more in line with his wishes.
Further down, there are Han women on the south side of the Yangtze River. The two rivers are too far away, and the forces that oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty are not small. He is willing to accept the daughters of the governor, governor, and county magistrate there so that they can serve the court with all their heart.
Of course, the talent and style of Jiangnan women are indeed as lovely as flowers.
The concubine Wang is the leader among them.
Kangxi was very relieved that Zhang Jia, a sensitive and young concubine, was chosen to take care of this delicate flower.
He also used this to show the other ambitious ladies that once they entered the imperial city, they had to do everything according to his wishes.
The empress who is the lord of the first palace can naturally give it to whomever he wants.
There is no reason for them to talk easily.
With the emperor's support, the Ministry of Internal Affairs frequently went to Chengqian Palace to arrange arrangements in the past few days, making a lot of noise.
Concubine Min also went to the side hall to visit the concubine. If she was disturbed, she could go out for a walk and then come back.
The concubine Wang's attitude towards the new empress was quite warm: "Empress Min is so kind and loving, I am ashamed to accept it. It is already three months old, so she is not so delicate. Is there any need for my help?" Yes, just ask."
Concubine Min was not familiar with the concubine Wang before. She had a higher status, so taking the initiative to come here was a sign of condescension.
But when Min Bin thought about it, even Concubine De came to visit Concubine Wang in the middle of the night.
It was nothing if she took these two steps.
Concubine Min and Concubine De are quite close to each other in this harem.
She guessed that this situation was probably inseparable from Empress Dowager De.
But if you express your gratitude lavishly, you will undoubtedly drag Concubine De into the current furnace and roast her.
However, Concubine Min had long been speculating about the relationship between Concubine De and the Concubine Wang. She came here to test it out.
If the concubine leaves the palace, will she go to the nearest Yonghe Palace to rest?
The concubine Wang did not accept the move, and Concubine Min just smiled and returned to the main hall.
She knew that this banquet was related to whether she could secure her seat as host.
During this period of time, the behavior of the palace people has become more and more restrictive. I only hope that this housewarming ceremony will go without any mistakes and that it will be worthy of the plan for the Imperial Concubine.
On the day of the banquet, not only the concubines came early, but also the female family members outside the palace gave them all the honor.
Even Kangxi's two younger brothers, Prince Yu and Prince Gong's Fujin, came to join in the fun.
With the Queen Mother's orders, the Ministry of Internal Affairs dare not fail to do its best.
It was the first time for Concubine Min to host a similar banquet. Although it was not arranged by the fourth concubine, she hosted it impeccably.
The concubines, nobles and concubines of the Qian Palace, Chang Zai, agreed to sit at the same table.
The concubine Wang, who rarely goes out on weekdays, also went out.
As soon as she came to the table, a stranger chatted enthusiastically with her.
The concubine Wang thought for a while and realized that this was probably the promise of the favored spirit she had just gained a while ago.
However, the sharp-eyed concubines in the palace could all see that this one was probably just a temporary novelty for the emperor, and her position had come to an end.
Ling promised to talk so lively that the concubine Wang refused to even accept a cup of tea from her.
When someone from the palace was serving food, Ling promised to stand up halfway and spilled the wine in his hand all over himself.
At this time, a nanny came to lead the spirit and agreed to change clothes.
When Ling agreed to come back, his expression was obviously not right, and he was no longer as noisy as before.
The concubine Wang glanced at her twice.
At the main table, little Tong Jia was leading people to toast Minbin. She pointed at Minbin's sleeves and said with a smile, "Minbin's edging pattern is quite clever. I can't tell what kind of flower it is."
Min Bin smiled and said: "Concubine Tong Jia has good eyesight. This is the craftsmanship of my palace people. They say it is a small flower in her hometown called Jue Ming, which has the power to improve eyesight and health. She embroidered it because she wanted me to be safe and healthy. After all, it was her Some thoughts.”
Little Tong Jia: "It really has a good meaning and a good style. The palace maid next to you is quite clever."
Hesheli came closer and said, "This little flower is quite pretty, but when I look at it, it looks a bit familiar."
She turned around and asked the nanny who was following behind her: "Did I see you take a handkerchief earlier, with the same yellow flowers embroidered on it?"
Little Tong Jia: "I'm afraid Concubine Chu Xiu is joking. Since Concubine Min said it was a rare style, you probably remembered it wrong."
Hesheli said reluctantly: "That's it. I must have remembered it correctly. If you don't believe me, just show it to everyone. I don't want to admit that this is a bad look."
The nun also nodded: "To tell you the truth, it's the same flower. But the veil is not the slave's, but...but..."
"What is it? Why are you vomiting?" Hesheli shouted.
The nanny immediately knelt down and said, "Mom, that veil was specially brought to me by the eunuch Sula outside who wanted to ask the slave for help. He also said that the style was strange and had a good meaning. The slave felt it was inappropriate and had already returned it to him. "
Eunuch Sulla was a low-status servant eunuch in the palace.
"Nonsense! How could a Sula eunuch know such a pattern?" Xiao Tongjia shouted, "Even if he wants to give it to grandma, he has to get it. It's all my fault, I shouldn't mention it. What kind of colors, look at the fuss this made..."
Hesheli said: "What does Concubine Tong Jia mean by this? Do you suspect that it is my intention?"
The nun behind her was so anxious that she almost cried: "Mother, how old is Eunuch Sula? This slave is recruiting me now. He wants to recognize me as his godmother. But this slave has absolutely nothing to do with him."
He is a young eunuch. What kind of relationship does he have to have to get the special patterned handkerchief of the eldest maid next to Min Bin.
Now little Tongjia and Hesheli are playing and singing, and there is nothing that people with discerning eyes don't understand.
This was to use a veil to accuse Concubine Min of being lax in controlling her subordinates, so that she could allow the personal maid around her to interact with Eunuch Sula.
Maybe it's still a shameful "food".
In this way, contrary to the palace rules, the concubine Zhangjia's position as the empress of the Qian Palace may not be guaranteed.
