Female Official In the East Palace: Chapter 87
"Woman, can I put the table and futon here?"
Rong Xin walked out of the house with a few Buddhist scriptures in her arms. Seeing that Xueqing ordered the table and futon to be carried under the tree, and they could be seen from the courtyard gate, she nodded, "Just Put it here."
"Woman, you recite and pray for the fourth and sixth brothers, what am I doing?"
Rong Xin just changed into a plain dress, sat cross-legged on the futon, and said: "You are in charge of the prince's diet, and often ask the two little brothers if they want to eat Yes, you do it yourself."
Xue Qing replied with a smile without thinking about it: "Okay, I'm in charge of His Highness's meals, and keeping them will only make you fat but not thin, that is, don't instruct me to cook strange foods. already."
Rong Xin stopped turning the scriptures, "Didn't I teach you not to talk casually?"
"I didn't say it." Xue Qing covered her mouth, "I know that you are afraid that His Royal Highness is jealous, I only told our Highness, the two of you who have been giving our lady candied fruit before. Jar, there is one I can't remember where I put it..."
Rong Xin lowered her eyes and said lightly, "The prince gave it to the empress dowager and the emperor."
Xue Qing suddenly realized, "Yes, look at my memory, the older I get, the less I can remember things."
"Your face doesn't look that big, but it's weird to say that." Rong Xin was helpless, "Okay, I'm telling you to be more careful about the prince's diet, don't worry about it. I'm chatting here."
"Of course." Xue Qing answered cheerfully, "I will not teach unfamiliar people to handle the food of His Royal Highness while out of the house."
When Rong Xin heard that she understood, she nodded, took off the bracelet from her wrist, and said, "Then you can go and do your own work."
Xue Qing answered and went in to lead someone to tidy up the residence for the prince, while Rong Xin closed her eyes and began to recite the Buddhist scriptures she had already mastered in her heart.
In fact, even if the prince Yinzhen and the elder brother Yinzhen stayed in the shelter, they only accompanied the two elder brothers as brothers for one or two times, thus providing some psychological support. Treating acne doesn't really work.
Rong Xin came here with the prince, and was only going to stay in the yard. She never thought about reconnecting with the elder brother, nor did she want to take the risk to accompany the fourth elder brother Yinzhen and Liu Brother Yinzuo.
The only one who can teach her to ignore life and death is the prince.
Except for the eldest brother's situation, Rong Xin is friendly to the rest of the princes, partly because of her own attitude, and more importantly, because of the prince.
So she can be the kind and understanding "Aunt Rong" of all the princes, she can pretend to chant and pray for blessings, and she can also use the candied fruit made only for Nemin and the prince as a gimmick, The prince win over the hearts of the fourth and sixth brothers...
Rong Xin wants to know, if the prince is a monarch, a descendant, a brother, or just a person, he is more than filial piety, tidy, loyal, righteous, propriety, righteous, honest, and shameful. If he can't pick out major moral flaws, what reason can Kangxi have to abolish him?
She sat on the futon for a long time, and she never moved except to get up once.
The prince had already heard that she had this plan, so when he came back, he only cared about whether she was tired or not, and then personally helped her up.
With the help of the prince, Rong Xin walked back to the prince's bedroom without losing his manners, and casually asked: "How are the fourth and sixth brothers?"
The prince nodded lightly, "It's okay."
Rong Xin noticed something unusual in his expression and asked, "Are you in a bad mood?"
"Yeah." The prince replied softly, and when he sat down with her, he said softly, "I thought I would never mind Yinzuo's name, but when I saw him again, my mind was Uncontrollably, I will think: I may not be the most beloved child of Huang Ama..."
Rong Xin gripped his arm tightly, gritted her teeth, and said, "If he really taught you to be in your arms, why don't you go back to the palace, as if you don't know Suoertu? plan."
"I am uncomfortable, but if a name can teach me to panic, I am afraid there will be more things in the future that will make me worry about gains and losses, and be frightened."
The prince looked at his aunt, who was the only one in his eyes, smiled and said: "Aunt, I want to convince people with virtue, and become the heir of Huang Ama logically, not with the life of a six-year-old child in exchange for ."
At that moment, the prince's eyes were shining like stars, and it was the first time that he told Rong Xin clearly that he wanted that position.
Therefore, Rong Xin recites the scriptures more and more devoutly, and sincerely hopes that Brother Liu can survive this acne outbreak safely.
This blow was too big for Rong Xin...
As the fourth and sixth elder brothers had a better day, Rong Xin felt more relaxed, because it meant that some things could actually be reversed by manpower.
When they returned to the palace, the fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother took good care of themselves, the prince fulfilled his promise, and the elder elder brother took the princes to cuju, while Kangxi and the empress dowager, the emperor The queen mother waited for the concubine, and sat on the high platform outside the venue and watched with a smile.
From then on, Kangxi took the initiative and ordered the selection of auspicious days, and successively began to vaccinate the remaining princes who did not have acne, and the princes who died of smallpox in the palace Compared with the period of the late emperor, the proportion has been greatly reduced.
In addition to the six elder brothers, there is another person whose fate has also taken a completely different trajectory.
This person is Nalan Xingde.
Rong Xin didn't pay attention to it before, but in the 25th year of Kangxi, Russia supported Yaksa. The prince said that there were many children of the Eight Banners in the dynasty who asked to go out with the army, and accidentally mentioned Nalan Xingde.
She then remembered that if the prince and elder brother hadn't gone to the shelter, Nalan Xingde would have done something for himself, but he is still making good friends with literati Yashi, rebellious against his father Mingzhu's wishes, sticks to the errand of the first-class guard.
This is a good thing for Rong Xin, she ignited an unprecedented enthusiasm, that is, Concubine Niu Hulu was depressed because of the premature death of her daughter, and she and Hesheli Keqi patiently reassured her and led her out of her grief early.
However, Suo'ertu's revival has somewhat poured a little cold water on her joy.
Kangxi re-enabled Suo'etu, in order to add strength to the prince's faction, and also teach the prince who gave a perfect lecture in the Wenhua Hall. to his people.
The reason why Rong Xin is not so happy is that in the past few years when Suoertu's career was at a low point, his arrogance did not diminish at all, but instead rebounded more and more with his ups and downs.
And because he is bound to be in the line of the prince, everything he does represents the prince. If he is too arrogant, it is likely to affect the good reputation that the prince has accumulated over the years.
Rong Xin doesn't even have to tell the prince about this idea, because he also thinks so, so much more than Suo Etu, who pays more attention to Tang Bin, the counselor minister appointed by Huang Ama himself.
Tang Bin is an honest official, upright, and does not admire the powerful.
It is Geng Jie, who was recommended by Tang Bin and joined the Prince Zhan's House as Shao Zhan.
In Suo'etu's mind, when the prince first came into contact with the court, he must rely on him everywhere, so when he came to visit Yuqing Palace, he was rude to Tang Bin and others several times. Pointing fingers at the prince who is also an elder.
This time he came to Yuqing Palace again for the prince's marriage.
It's nothing to worry about." Suo Etu stroked the beard on his chin and said, "I will definitely plan for you a prince concubine with a good family background, and teach you to greatly increase your strength."
When Rong Xin stepped into the study with tea, she just heard what he said, and couldn't help but stabbed: "The prince's marriage is decided by the emperor, so if Master Suo has to do this, isn't it because he is a substitute Stealing the emperor's father's rights?"
Suo Etu looked at Rong Xin for a moment with extremely cold eyes, and when Rong Xin walked towards the prince with the tea cup, he had to put it away temporarily, and said to the prince: Woman, I'm afraid I don't know that this court needs to take every step of the way."
"His Royal Highness, even though you are now deeply favored by the emperor, the threat of the elder brother and the Mingzhu faction should not be underestimated.
The prince took a sip of tea in silence, thinking to himself: Auntie is safe under the wrath of his emperor, Suo Etu dared to mock her as "a woman"...
And Rong Xin sneered, and said, "Sir Suo probably forgot, if it wasn't for the Empress who supported the Hesheli family in the palace, the Hesheli family would probably be in the first place. After Lord Fu passed away, it quickly declined, so where is the chance for you to win the emperor's trust?"
Of course, Rong Xin's words are a bit exaggerated, Suo'etu is indeed capable, and the Hesheli family back then was actually supported by Nemin and Suo'etu.
But she is now dissatisfied that Suo Etu can't see her identity, so she deliberately sarcastically said: "And when Lord Suo was enjoying himself at home these years, it was me, the woman, who was protecting His Royal Highness in the palace. Not disturbed by the harem, grow up safely and smoothly."
"You!"
She was directly mocking him for being fired.
Suo Etu's anger surged, and with a force, he directly smashed the cup in his hand, and the tea was mixed with blood on the table.
Seeing this, the prince immediately comforted: "Sir Suo, both you and your aunt are thinking about Yinren's future, but there are a few differences. Let's be honest, don't hurt the peace."
What a tacit understanding between Rong Xin and the prince, he immediately pretended to apologize: "Master Suo, are you injured? It's all mine, I'll call someone to bandage you."
As she said, she walked to the door of the study with an anxious look on her face, shouted to Xueqing, and instructed loudly: "Master Suo accidentally cut his hand, go and get the ointment and bandage."
"Yes, female officer." Xueqing turned around quickly after answering.
Rong Xin grabbed her hand and whispered, "Take the medicine powder in that blue porcelain bottle."
When Xue Qing heard this, her eyebrows twitched and she gritted her teeth and replied in the same voice, "He bullied His Highness? Wait, ma'am, I'll come when I go."
In fact, she bullied her, but it doesn't make any difference.
When Rong Xin came in again, the prince was still soothing Suo Etu's anger.
And Suo Etu actually kept Qiao silent, and looked at her coldly when Rong Xin appeared.
Rong Xin couldn't help sneering in her heart, but her face was full of apology: "Master Suo, please calm down, I was also in a hurry and lost my sense of proportion. In fact, it was because the Empress Dowager asked the Prince I'm afraid that you will do something bad with your good intentions and anger the Empress Dowager again..."
"Exactly." The prince looked a little embarrassed and said, "The Empress Dowager, her old man once said that the emperor should choose a good marriage for Yinren, but this is not accurate. Don't make a sound."
The two of them sang and said something serious, and mentioned the empress dowager, Suoertu could only go down the slope, reluctantly softened his face, and cupped his hands: "In this way, It was me who made my own claims without knowing the facts, and I ask Your Highness to forgive me."
The prince naturally said that he was "no fault", "heart for him" and so on.
At this time, Xue Qing walked in with a tray and lowered her eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, and after bowing to the prince, another blessed body said softly to Suo Etu: "Master Suo, will this servant help you to bandage your wounds? "
Rong Xin immediately urged: "Did you take the best Jinchuang medicine? Quickly stop the bleeding for Lord Suo."
After a while, the wound will heal itself...
Just be patient."
How can a man like Suo Etu who once captured Ao Bai for Kangxi be afraid of pain? Just dismissively said: "At will."
However, Rong Xin and the prince saw helplessly that the moment Xueqing poured down the powder, his hand trembled slightly.
The effect of this powder is visible to the naked eye, but the imperial doctor would not easily recommend it to the princes with delicate skin, because it is really painful, and Suoertu hurts his hand again, and his fingers are connected to the heart , it won't hurt him!
Xue Qing didn't have the guts to do anything else to Suo'etu, so he wrapped up his hands and feet very swiftly, said "Okay" softly, and quickly retreated.
As for the tea that was served again, Suo Etu was not in the mood anymore, took a quick sip, said goodbye to the prince, and left without looking back.
The prince said helplessly and funny: "Aunt, how can you do such a childish behavior?"
Rong Xin glared at the direction Suo Etu left, and then said to the prince: "Suo Etu has some good words, but he is quite self-righteous, teach him to know that Your Highness, you are right now. He didn't use it with all his heart, and he was somewhat scruples."
"Auntie, that's not a reason."
Rong Xin pouted slightly, "Why dare not admit it in front of you? I don't like him, who taught him to always act like your elders, so he can't do things for you honestly ?"
The prince corrected: "It's not for me, it's for Huang Ama."
"Yes, yes, I used the word incorrectly." Rong Xin changed it when he knew his mistake, "He was born to serve the emperor, which is the greatest help to you."
Prince fiddled with the folding fan, his thoughts drifted away, "Aunt, what kind of woman will my crown princess be?"
Rong Xin joked: "His Royal Highness has reached the age of thinking about the crown princess..."
"Auntie—" The prince is not pretending to be ashamed.
Rong Xin hurriedly smiled and said: "No matter what kind of woman, please be patient, Your Highness, she will always become a crown princess who can stand shoulder to shoulder with you."
There is some expectation in the eyes of the prince, "I hope so."
Rong Xin's eyebrows and eyes are curved, she will definitely do it, she is also a very good girl, now she just needs to let her marry into Yuqing Palace smoothly.
