Female Official In the East Palace: Chapter 5
In the early days of Kangxi, the emperor was too young to be in power, and the four main ministers, Sony, Suksaha, Ebilong, and Aobai jointly held power.
Among them, Aobai has great achievements in battle, is arrogant, and acts the most arrogant and domineering, which is quite afraid of Kangxi;
Hesheli Soni, the first assistant, has gone through three dynasties, and is cunning and cunning, and is often reluctant to confront Aobai head-on due to illness.
Under the premise that the DPRK and China were unable to shake and contain Aobai, Kangxi was increasingly at a disadvantage, and he could not even get married.
Among the candidates at that time, in addition to Hesheli Nemin, there were also Obai's daughter and Ebilong's daughter.
for later.
She has to work hard to be like a duck to water in the complex palace, cultivate her relationship with the proud young emperor, and always remind herself to be a virtuous queen.
In just two months, she visibly lost weight and became more petite.
Rong Xin watched the chubby girl she had raised for so many years getting thinner, distressed and anxious, and Qi Momo every day to think about nourishing her body with food.
"Sister, the chicken soup is ready." Xue Qing and Bi Lan held a tray and stepped into the bedroom.
Would you like some chicken soup first?"
"Leave it first." Nemin didn't look up, she still held the brush and wrote seriously.
Rong Xin was helpless and waved at Xueqing and the others, and when they were all out, he walked to the desk and persuaded: "The palace affairs can't be dealt with, don't force yourself It's too ruthless, and the body can't take it."
Nemin insisted on writing the last stroke before putting down the brush, raised her side and said, "The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have high hopes for me, how can I not work harder."
Rong Xin stood on the side of the desk and put away the dried ink, and said, "You have done a good enough job. During this time, the servants have heard the Empress Dowager praise you several times. Plus, so does the emperor."
Nermin drank the soup slowly, "Even if I didn't do well enough, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor would not criticize me."
There are some other meanings in her tone, Rong Xin has a little thought, and he understands that now Kangxi wants to govern and compete with Aobai, and he must win over Lord Shoufu.
In the past, the Empress Dowager was able to condescend to propose marriage to the first assistant in person, and now she will definitely treat Nemin very well, to show that the Tianjia attaches great importance to the Hesheli family.
However, even if everyone knows that it is a political marriage, the relationship between husband and wife can gradually deepen.
In recent times, Kangxi's attitude towards Nemin has become much closer than in the early days of marriage, which shows that he is still very satisfied with Nemin.
Nemin is smart and strong, with a gentle temperament, and it is not surprising that he will be loved by Kangxi.
Rong Xin smiled slightly, scooped out two pieces of chicken from the soup pot with a spoon and poured it into Nemin's bowl.
Nemin took a meal, picked up the chopsticks and poked the chicken, but still clamped it, complaining: "You can't see me being thin."
"Mother Qi personally selected ginseng that was not too many years old, and watched the people in the pantry stew, I'm afraid you won't be able to make it up." Rong Xin scooped up two more pieces and asked with a smile , "Because the servants are so attentive, you must not eat more?"
"Why is there more?" Nemin held the bowl in both hands and pushed it forward, waiting for Rong Xin to put the chicken in, and then pulling it back.
Rong Xin smiled and patted Nemin's head lightly, and said, "Be good."
"Humph~" Nemin bit the chicken and snorted softly. She ate the piece of meat in her mouth and asked, "It tastes good, did you leave a portion for the emperor?"
Nemin did not deliberately show that she was virtuous and sent food to the Qianqing Palace, but only presented it to Kangxi during dinner. Of course, she would also implicitly indicate that it was specially prepared.
Rong Xin knew what she was doing, and replied: "Don't worry, it's simmering on the stove. It's been simmered on a low fire for a long time, and it's guaranteed to be more delicious."
After Nemin used the soup, she sat back to the desk and immersed herself in official business.
About half an hour, Rong Xin reminded: "Empress Empress, you haven't moved today, why don't you go outside for a walk?"
Nemin looked up at the sun outside the window, and said, "Kunning Palace is such a big place, I've turned around, go to the Imperial Garden."
"Except the Cining Palace and Qiantou Qianqing Palace, the palace next to it is not as big as the Middle Palace." Rong Xin took out a thick cloak from the cabinet and put it on Nemin's shoulders.
Nemin tied the sash herself, and said casually: "Other palaces will have people after the draft. I am still looking forward to people coming in. Do you think it's strange?"
Since Kangxi is already married, he can be counted as an adult, so the draft should naturally be arranged. What's more, it is already a certainty that the young lady of Niu Hulu's family, who is also from an extraordinary family, is going to enter the palace.
Logically speaking, it should be reluctant and vigilant.
Rong Xin helped her organize her clothes, and asked curiously: "Why is this? Before entering the palace, didn't you still talk about the people who served the emperor before?"
The children of the Eight Banners are married by the finger in the palace. If they are a little powerful, the main room and the side room are arranged clearly, not to mention the young Kangxi who is the lord of the country.
There are palace maids who teach personnel, as well as palace maids who are favored by Kangxi himself. Although it does not seem to be much favored at present, it is inevitable that they are in the throat.
Nemin watched Rong Xin close her cloak tightly, and whispered: "Why can't I see my family in this palace alone and have no free time, since I have to enter sooner or later? Gonglai, it's okay to be earlier."
Rong Xin did not expect that she could not see other people in her boudoir, so she couldn't help laughing, "When others enter the palace later, you can get closer to the emperor, and you are familiar with the palace earlier, always It's more comfortable than the later one, isn't it?"
Nemin sighed, "Now I have to stabilize the harem for the emperor, otherwise I can relax a lot by separating some tedious palace affairs."
Rong Xin laughed and teased: "Aren't you afraid of being decentralised?"
"The lady is really wise!" Rong Xin's tone was a little exaggerated, and the smile on his face was even bigger.
Nermin was a little embarrassed by her laugh, pouted her lips, and said, "It's just like you and Qi mama let the servants of Kunning Palace perform their duties, looking at the entire harem, the concubines Serving the emperor is not the same way."
"This is the truth, but it cannot be ignored." After all, power and interests are involved, and people's hearts are the most difficult to control.
After the two stepped out of the inner room, they stopped talking about it, and took a few palace maids and eunuchs for a walk in the imperial garden.
The sunshine in the autumn afternoon is gentler, and today there is no wind, and after walking for a while, Nemin sweats a little.
Rong Xin was worried that she would take off her cloak, and the wind would blow her head again. After leaving Kunning Gate, she went west and found a pavilion to rest in.
The ladies placed the cushions on the stone bench swiftly, and took out snacks and dried fruits on the stone table.
Nemin is not very old at first, and she has a little girlishness. She secretly steps on the place where the sun shines, with a smile on her face and a mischievous look in her eyes.
Rong Xinquan didn't see it, and used his eyes to signal the maids to move away from the sunlight. The palace maids didn't immediately understand her eyes, so Xue Qing immediately called them to stand on the other side.
Nemin moved her neck slightly, Rong Xin noticed and asked in a low voice, "Prime grass is very good at pressing the shoulders, let her loosen it for you?"
Nermin looked in the direction she pointed, the appearance of the palace maid is very common among the palace maids, if it hadn't been mentioned by Rong Xin, she would have hardly noticed it, "Let's try it."
Primer Grass walked over in a frightened manner, put two square silk handkerchiefs on the Queen's shoulders, and then gently pressed it up.
"One more point."
When Primrose heard this, she immediately increased her strength. Because she could not see the face of the Empress, her expression was always extremely nervous.
Rong Xin stood by the side and looked at the scenery here leisurely. The scenery of the imperial garden in late autumn was quite different from when they first entered the palace. It is not desolate, but has a heavy feeling. It must be more beautiful in winter when it is wrapped in silver.
At this time, she noticed two young and beautiful women walking in tandem from the west.
Rong Xin's eyesight is excellent, and she looked at each other for a moment, and even saw the back of her face a little shrinking, then glanced at the woman in front of her, and continued to walk here like a pavilion.
Nemin also noticed and asked, "Do you know which palace it is from?"
"The two concubines of Chuxiu Palace."
As soon as Nemin heard Rong Xin's words, she guessed who it was, and raised her hand to stop the maid who pressed her shoulder.
Concubine Ma Jia and Concubine Zhang, Zhang is the favored maid by the emperor; Ma Jia is a beautiful girl who entered the palace in the draft at the beginning of the year, and it is said that she is still favored by the emperor.
Because the few people who lived in Chuxiu Palace were only concubines who didn't even have a title, Nemin simply ordered not to treat them harshly, and had never surrendered their status to receive them.
I didn't expect these two to find them...
"The slave maid Ma Jia/slave Zhang, I have seen the queen." Ma Jia and Zhang knelt and kowtowed outside the pavilion to greet the queen.
Nemin said dignifiedly: "Be flat."
"Thank you for the grace of the Queen."
Nermin's eyes didn't stop on the two of them, she squeezed a dried fruit from the plate, and asked casually, "You two also saw the sun just right, so you came to the Royal Garden for a walk?"
Rong Xin sees Zhang's head hanging lower, and understands.
Ma Jia said calmly and calmly: "The two slaves and maids came here to see the Queen's concubine Fengyi, so they came to see you. If you disturb the Queen's concubine Yaxing, please forgive me."
Nemin didn't care: "What's the sin? You guys are better than waiting here, just go and enjoy the scenery."
Ma Jiashi paused and saluted: "The slaves retire."
Mrs Zhang also hurriedly bowed and retired with her.
Seeing this, Rong Xin bent over and whispered in Nemin's ear: "People are coming here, you won't give them a chance to be courteous?"
Nemin wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and said indifferently, "I'm impatient to pay attention to them."
