Chapter 36
In the eighth year of Kangxi, although the wind and rain were misty and the hearts of the people were fluctuating, with the crying of the prince, it seemed that the prelude had come to an end, and there was a thriving scene in the court. Although the light was small, Kangxi finally took the most difficult step .
Cheng Hu's birth date was chosen particularly well, just after Kangxi defeated Oboi, and the court was in turmoil. At this time, a strong message was needed to stabilize the hearts of the ministers. In this way, Cheng Hu was very important in Kangxi's heart .
Although Wei Tong didn't know the news of the previous court very clearly, after comparing some information with his memory, he still knew where he was now.Not to mention that Kangxi's trust in him has gradually deepened, and he has let Wei Tong do many things. Wei Tong's status has improved unconsciously, and even when he goes out for a walk, the palace people respectfully call Wei Gonggong.
...Although Wei Tong himself rejected the call of Eunuch Wei.
Cheng Hu's birthday was just before the Queen's, but because the Queen's health was not good and she was recuperating in bed, the Qianqiu Festival was not held this year, but Cheng Hu's Xisan was held extremely grandly.This is the royal family announcing to the world that the royal family has a successor.Although the Qing Dynasty did not adopt the method of establishing a prince yet, every reigning emperor hoped that his position would be inherited by his son, not to mention that this was Kangxi's first son, so naturally he had high hopes.
On the day of washing three days, Wei Tong who was guarding behind Kangxi saw Wei Ning who was following the concubine Ma Jiashi.As the eldest prince's mother and concubine, Ma Jia's position is low, but her prince is the legitimate eldest son of Kangxi, and at this time Kangxi still has his holy family, no one dares to treat her poorly.
Looking at Wei Ning, who silently followed behind Ma Jiashi without any challenge, Wei Tong felt weak, and Wei Ning also began to learn to cover up, and began to learn to protect himself.So much better, so much better.
"The miscellaneous family knows that you miss your sister, but don't make any mistakes at this time, and do your part." Liang Jiugong watched Wei Tong's actions from time to time from the corner of his eyes, and warned Wei Tong in a low voice.Now no one knows the identities of the two of them, so don't make any ugly talk about private giving and receiving at this time.Wei Tong restrained his mind and answered softly, it is true that he should not forget his actions.
Kangxi, who was sitting at the front, seemed to be in the front of his mind, but in fact, the conversation between Liang Jiugong and Wei Tong fell into his ears.He glanced at Ma Jiashi's direction seemingly casually.There are two little maids sitting kneeling behind Ma Jia, among them, the little maid in pale pink palace dress on the right looks a little like Wei Tong, so it seems to be Wei Ning.
This thought is just a passing thought in my heart, secretly remembering the existence of this person, and remembering to take care of him later.Although he loves his house and his crow, he can't accommodate everything.Wei Tong has been controlled by others because of Wei Ning several times. Although he is grateful for Wei Tong's beloved sister, he also has a little dislike for Wei Ning.
Kangxi's inadvertent actions fell into the eyes of caring people, and he immediately added a bit of leverage to Ma Jiashi in his heart, and sighed that even though the queen gave birth to the second prince, the first prince in front should not be underestimated.
The three baptisms were grand, and so was the full moon wine. When the empress finally recovered, the bustling atmosphere was a little less.Wei Tong has been busy for several days, and finally he relaxed.In the first few days of this first month, although various worships and ceremonies made the whole Qingning Palace go round and round, after relaxing, I always felt that something was missing.
Today, Wei Tong took a job for himself because he had nothing to do. Kangxi hadn't come back from the Wuying Palace, but he still missed the second prince of Kunning Palace, so he sent someone to visit Kunning Palace. It wasn't a big deal, Liang Jiugong Seeing Wei Tong's movement, he assigned it to Wei Tong casually.
Wei Tong led the two servants to Kunning Palace, and saw a lot of beautiful scenery along the way.It has been seven years since Wei Tong entered the palace, and it has been a comfortable year until this year, and he feels very pleasing to the eyes everywhere.The two servants knew that Wei Tong was not a talkative person, so they cautiously followed behind without speaking.
The group of three arrived at Kunning Palace smoothly, and soon the queen received Wei Tong.Wei Tong, as the popular eunuch beside Kangxi, although he is nothing in the hearts of people like the queen, he will give him some face.
The empress looks like she is only in her teens now, but she has already sat quietly and firmly in the harem, and she has just added a prince under her knees to make up for her own shortcomings.Even though he is restrained in every possible way, but the emperor loves him and the elders value him, such honor will occasionally show a bit.
But after all, it was a normal state of mind, Wei Tong quickly had a friendly interaction with the queen, and retreated knowingly after getting the news Kangxi wanted to know.Yingcao beside the queen returned to the queen quietly after seeing her off, with her slender hands gently resting on the queen's shoulders, soothing her tiredness.
As soon as he was confinement, Xiao Zhuang returned the palace power to the queen. Although the queen was happy to have the power in her hands, she was a little weak after all, and felt a little uncomfortable from time to time.Yingcao looked at the Queen's expression, and said softly, "Madam Queen, this Eunuch Wei looks really young."
Yingcao is the capable maid beside the empress, apart from the nanny who grew up serving the empress, she is the only one who dares to say such words in front of the empress.Sure enough, the queen didn't get angry, she closed her eyes and said: "It looks good, but now I can't compare with Liang Jiugong and the consultant. Let's have a look."
Yingcao should be.Although she is indeed optimistic about Wei Tong, the empress is far-sighted, and she must have seen this a long time ago.
Wei Tong, who left the Kunning Palace, didn't know that the two masters and servants in the palace behind him were discussing his affairs. He looked at the time, felt the temperature outside, and felt that he might have been foolish in the warm room just now. I actually want to go out for a walk in the winter.Facing the cold wind, Wei Tong decided to take a shortcut and walk from the imperial garden.
When the three of them walked to the bottom of the rockery, they suddenly heard the sound of voices above, but it was so soft that Wei Tong couldn't hear it clearly.Not wanting to pay attention to unnecessary things, Wei Tong only planned to leave early.Unexpectedly, the person on it suddenly screamed, and then there was the sound of a heavy object falling.
Wei Tong immediately understood what happened, and subconsciously rushed over.At such an emergency, he could still think of the ancient rules of giving and receiving. Even if he was a eunuch, he needed to avoid suspicion. He shrank back and put his whole body under the woman, and at that moment he was thrown a mouthful of warm blood.
The woman in palace costume who was being cushioned by Wei Tong kept screaming. Wei Tong coughed a few times, and a few mouthfuls of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth. The cold invaded and shivered.The two servants who were originally standing behind Wei Tong realized it at this time, and hurried forward, one helping the woman in palace attire, and the other inspecting Wei Tong's situation.
At the same time, several people came down from the rockery. A leading woman in a goose-yellow cheongsam hurried over and looked at the slightly embarrassed woman in palace attire. After careful inspection, it was found that only one or two scratches were loose. tone.Wei Tong was helped up by the little servant. Although he is good at martial arts, but such a weight fell on him, and he was seriously injured even if he did not die.
The woman in the goose-yellow cheongsam saw that the rescuer was just a eunuch, but the clothes on her body were different from the other servants, and her face was somewhat familiar, so she didn't say anything.Wei Tong didn't feel much after saving someone. Although he was injured, he just considered himself unlucky. Seeing that the two of them looked like concubines, could it be that the master still has the courtesy to thank the slave?Therefore, he just endured the injury and only left after the person left.
Who would have thought that the woman in the palace costume would yell at Wei Tong and the three of them when she was still in shock: "What are you three little eunuchs doing! I and my sister are enjoying the snow, and you are disturbed by you and fell from the rockery. It is extremely hateful!"
The two servants who supported Wei Tong had never seen such a slapstick person before. Wei Tong squinted his eyes and recognized who the beautiful woman in front of him was—Concubine Zhang, the only one in the palace now. The princess is the eldest princess under her knees, no wonder...
"Cough, cough, cough—" Wei Tong finally couldn't help it, and coughed up a few more mouthfuls of blood.
The concubine Zhao Jia who was standing next to Mrs. Zhang couldn't bear it, and persuaded softly: "Sister, after all, this little eunuch also saved you. If the merits and demerits are equal, let's just let it go."
Mrs. Zhang still refused, regained her energy, and said in a louder voice: "Sister, this is about my sister's life! Even if it is meritorious, it is also because of his fault! It is just a eunuch, and his life is worthless. If he just saved my sister If he dies, my sister can still spare him, but now it seems that he is just coughing a few times, if he is let off so lightly, won't my sister be looked down upon in this palace in the future!"
Hearing the woman's harsh voice, Wei Tong shook his head inwardly.Even if Kangxi and the others can endure the emptiness of the harem now, how long can such a temperament really survive in the harem?It's not like being used as a gun.
Wei Tong is a person in front of the imperial court. If a small concubine can slap her in the face, how can she work beside Kangxi in the future?He just said indifferently: "The slave was ordered by the emperor to go to Kunning Palace, but the slave was in a hurry to return to the order and disturbed the two empresses. It is really the fault of the slave."
As soon as the name Kangxi was mentioned, Zhang's arrogance diminished a bit.Kangxi has never been a soft-hearted person. If this little eunuch really belonged to the emperor...but the gleam in her eyebrows turned slightly, but among the eunuchs in front of the emperor, she didn't remember this person very much. If this person Wouldn't it be more hateful to lie to her!
Mrs. Zhang was about to get angry, but Mrs. Zhao Jia hurriedly stopped her, and said softly in her ear, "This is Eunuch Wei who is serving pen and ink in the study of Qingning Palace." It was Wei Tong who came to congratulate him, but there were too many people talking, and he couldn't remember clearly. Zhao Jia's memory was only evoked by Wei Tong's voice.
After a while, the three of them were able to leave.Wei Tong walked for a while, and finally half-softened his body and knelt down on the ground. The two servants were so nervous that their faces turned pale.
