MTL - Female Official In the East Palace-Chapter 58
When Rong Xin left Zhong Cui Palace with his third brother, he reminded himself once again that there are no absolutely stupid people in the palace.
However, Ma Jiashi, sometimes, is really too embarrassing! It's no wonder that the old people in the palace when Nemin was alive, almost didn't want to see her.
Er Gege Jinchan and Third Brother follow the temperament of Rong Concubines, and often have a smile without haze. In recent years, Kangxi has favored Yi Concubine even more. For the sake of the two children, Rong Concubine is also very lenient.
In this way, it is not a response to what she often said - "Everyone has their own destiny".
"Aunt, are you afraid of the dark?"
Rong Xin heard Yinzhi's question, looked at the two eunuchs with lanterns in front of them, and then lowered her head to look at him, "I'm not afraid of the dark, third brother?"
"Of course I'm not afraid."
If there were no slight tremors in his voice, maybe he would have believed it.
Rong Xin let go of his hand, took a step forward and squatted down, turned around and said, "I'll carry you."
"I'm so old, and I let Auntie carry you..." Yinzhi was shy, but in the next moment, he lay directly on Rong Xin's back and smiled, "Thank you Auntie ."
Rong Xin was still at her able-bodied age, so she could carry a five-year-old child without effort, and continued to move forward steadily.
Yinzhi put her arms around her neck and swayed her little feet comfortably, "Auntie must like me very much."
Rong Xin chuckled and replied, "Yeah, Brother San, you have a pure heart."
"That's natural." Yinzhi responded without modesty, rolled his eyes, and asked curiously, "Aunt, will you be different when you grow up?"
"Well..." Rong Xin thought for a moment, then replied after a while, "Probably not, perhaps most people grow up and come into contact with more things they didn't see when they were young and do things. Can't you just rely on your will?"
"Alas—" Yinzhi pretended to be mature and sighed, "I don't even want to grow up."
Rong Xin turned his head slightly in his direction and smiled: "No one will not grow up."
Unless… forever at a seemingly good age.
When Yinzhi heard this, she put her chin on her shoulder and said, "I'd better study hard, books are much simpler than people..."
"What are you doing at such a young age? You just want to be happy every day."
"I am happy, even the prince and the eldest brother are becoming more and more boring." Yinzhi pouted, "The fourth brother is not fun."
The curvature of the corners of Rong Xin's mouth remained unchanged, his eyes were fixed on the front, and his voice was very soft: "They are stupid, they are not as good as the third brother, we have to forgive them."
"It's all my own brothers, I'm sure I don't care."
"As it should be."
"It's a pity that the fifth brother has to be enlightened in the Cining Palace, otherwise I can play more."
Rong Xin replied patiently: "If it's boring, just take the fourth elder brother to the Cining Palace to find the fifth elder brother to play,"
There was only a crescent moon in the sky, but the stars in the sky attracted Yinzhi's attention, he raised his hands with interest and counted one by one: "One, two, three..."
Rong Xin also raised his head to look at the starry sky, smiled, and paid attention to his feet again.
When she and the third elder brother returned to the Yuqing Palace, the prince and the fourth elder brother were sitting in the Dunben Palace waiting for them.
Seeing that Yinzhi was on Rong Xin's back, Yinren asked, "Aunt, are you tired? Why don't you let the **** carry him?"
How can I not be tired from such a long journey?
However, Rong Xin didn't show it. After putting down the third brother, he only moved behind his back, shook his head and said, "Nothing, the third brother is not heavy."
The third elder brother looked at the face of the prince's elder brother, raised his little hand diligently to massage Rong Xin's arm, "Aunt, Yinzhi should not teach you to back, when Yinzhi grows up, Yinzhi back you."
Rong Xin touched his head and replied with a smile: "Okay."
Yinzhi is so good at making people happy, and the prince is helpless, "It's enough, let someone send you back to Brother's office."
"Can't you live here?" Yinzhi pulled the fourth brother behind his back, trying to find an ally.
The fourth brother gave him a look, and after a while, he faced the prince and nodded in response.
The prince hadn't spoken yet, and Rong Xin said to the two: "Brother three, elder brother, I will take you back to the elder brother's office, the elder brother may be worried if you haven't returned so late. ."
"Big brother won't."
Rong Xin insisted, "Yes."
Yinren has been paying attention to her expression, and then persuaded: "I just came back, I'm a little tired, I'll stay overnight."
The third elder brother and the fourth elder brother heard that the prince was tired, so they stopped entanglement immediately and said goodbye and left.
Rong Xin personally sent the two back home, stopped for a while at the entrance of the elder brother's office, and then returned to Yuqing Palace.
"Can Auntie see Big Brother?"
"I haven't entered my brother's office." Rong Xin walked in, and saw that the portrait of Nemin unfolded on the prince's book case, "Didn't you just come back from Jingling?"
Yinren gently stroked the blank space on the head of the person in the painting, and said, "I saw another portrait of E-niang at Huang Ama's place today. boudoir time."
"The emperor and the empress did not meet when they were unmarried. It must be a few years ago when I talked to the emperor about the empress, and the emperor drew it with imagination."
Yinren carefully rolled up the words and said: "Huang Ama, facing the portrait of Huang E-niang, denounced Suo Etu's greed and evil in a painful tone. Come and see me..."
Rong Xin said without changing his face: "It must be to offend the emperor."
Suo Etu and Mingzhu have been at odds with each other for a long time. Since the birth of the prince and the elder brother, the two have raised their own banners to form a party for selfishness, fight each other, and exclude dissidents.
The names of "Suo Xiang" and "Ming Xiang" are also heard in the palace, how can the emperor overlooking the ministers not notice, and the thunder and rain are all the kindness of the king, when the two do it If it exceeds Kangxi's tolerance, it will naturally turn back on him.
"Has the emperor said anything else to you?"
Yinren shook his head, "Just a little disappointed in the Hesheli's children." He paused, and said, "He also said that Duke Chengen is not in good health."
"You are young now, even if the emperor is dissatisfied with Suo Etu, he will not take anger on you." Rong Xin patted him on the shoulder, "You can do what you want, don't panic."
"The tone of Huang Ama and me is as close as usual, I know what to do."
Prince is also very stable, it is the elder brother and Nalan Mingzhu's eldest son Nalan Xingde, and the second son Nalan Kuixu who is the second-class guard in the palace. Frequently, he also remains focused on his studies without any interruptions.
Kangxi was very proud of the prince, and so was Rong Xin.
In this way, the eighth month of the lunar calendar passed, Rong Xin heard that the first-class Duke Chengen Hesheli Gabula's condition was getting worse, and it seemed that he was not good.
In the evening of the same day, Kangxi summoned the crown prince to the Qianqing Palace, and ordered him to take the imperial doctor tomorrow and personally go to Hesheli's house to offer condolences to Duke Chengen on behalf of his father.
This is the first time the prince has visited Hesheli's house since he was born. However, because his grandfather is seriously ill, his mood is difficult to cheer.
"Auntie, come with me out of the palace."
"Good."
But the next day, as soon as the carriage arrived at the main entrance of Hesheli's house, Yinren said to her: "Auntie, it's rare for you to come back, you don't have to accompany me, go see your family."
Rong Xin was actually quite worried that the prince would be afraid when he saw the dying Kabra, so he declined: "My younger brother is working beside Master Suo, I will see him later and know that he is doing well That's fine, no special meeting required."
"Auntie, there is Aunt Qi with me, you just need to rest assured."
Rong Xin heard what he said, and immediately understood that the prince said this morning that he was going to bring Mother Qi to Hesheli's house, and he had a plan.
Why don't you take your sister's house to have a look."
Rong Sheng always knelt on the ground and responded immediately: "My servant, thank the Crown Prince for his grace."
Rong Xin watched the prince go in, and couldn't help but feel a little complicated, the prince is really big...
"Sister."
Rong Xin returned to his senses, looked at Rong Sheng, who had grown into a young man, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile, "You look more stable now."
Rong Sheng was in front of her, but he still couldn't let go, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "I'm often reckless, I'm afraid my sister will laugh at me when I say it."
Rong Xin chuckled, turned and walked towards the carriage of the guards, "Didn't I want to visit your place? Let's go."
"Sister knows that our family does not live in the mansion?" Rong Sheng was surprised.
Rong Xin smiled, but did not answer him, only took Rong Sheng and the two little eunuchs into the carriage, gave the detailed address to the guard who was driving, and said, "I'm sorry."
The two talked about each other in the car, and the carriage stopped in front of a small courtyard after more than a quarter of an hour.
"I bought this yard with the money my sister gave me over the years. I wanted to use your name, but unfortunately I couldn't." Rong Sheng invited her in, "If my sister is willing to leave Gongrong in the future Raise, I will pass to your name again."
Rong Xin gave the money to Rong Sheng, and she gave it, and she is not ready to take it back, and she will never live here, write her name or not, she Don't care and don't need to argue.
However, she noticed at a glance that the young woman in the courtyard had a reluctance on her face when she heard Rong Sheng's words.
Rong Sheng did not pay attention, and directly introduced: "Sister, this is my wife Ye Shi."
Although Rong Xin smiled, the aura on her body was cultivated in the deep palace for many years, Ye Shi panicked, and her voice trembled, "Sister An, Anhao, slave Ye Shi."
Rong Sheng said to Rong Xin ashamed: "Ye has never seen the world, sister, don't take offense."
Rong Xin didn't care, and pulled out a silver hairpin directly from her head, "I never thought I would see my younger brother and sister today, so I will use this as a greeting for the time being, and my younger brother and sister will accept it."
The silver hairpin was as bright as snow, and the workmanship was extremely delicate. Ye Shi's eyes lit up, and he immediately took it over, thanking him happily.
Rong Sheng frowned and said to her, "Aren't you going to prepare tea for your sister and two father-in-law?"
Ye held the silver hairpin carefully and said, "I'll go right now."
Rong Sheng was worried about her, asked her sister to sit down for a while, then dragged his wife to the kitchen and whispered: "Bring my collection of tea, I don't care if you usually pick it up, don't be in front of my sister Shame on me."
"I know, I know!" Ye Shi repeatedly looked at the silver hairpin in his hand, and said yearningly: "This palace really supports people, your sister is over 30 years old, Looks younger than me!"
"Tighten me tighter." Rong Sheng was worried that she didn't know what to do, and said, "Don't look at my sister's temper, when she is in charge of the harem, she has been killed before. A well-behaved palace servant, even the crown prince respects her."
"Really, really?" Ye Shi shuddered and asked, "Why didn't you tell me before?"
"You are an ordinary woman, what do I say this for?"
After Rong Sheng explained to her, he was afraid that his sister would wait for a long time, so he hurriedly returned to the main hall, "Sister, I made you wait for a long time."
"No problem." Rong Xin raised his hand at will, motioning him to sit.
After Rong Sheng took his seat, he said, "Father and mother didn't know that my sister was leaving the palace. This morning, I took your nephew Rong Yu to worship Buddha outside the city."
"Father and mother can enjoy their old age in peace, if you don't see them, you can't see them."
Seeing her calm face, Rong Sheng didn't say anything about "My parents miss her".
At this time, Mrs. Ye appeared with a teapot, Rong Xin thanked her, and said, "Please, my brother and sister, make two more pots of tea for the guards who are driving the car outside the door and the two accompanying father-in-laws. ."
Ye hurriedly responded and walked out in a hurry.
The two little eunuchs stood at the door, Rong Sheng looked over and asked, "Why don't you ask the two father-in-laws to sit down and rest for a while?"
"Leave them alone."
If it's normal, naturally it doesn't have to be like this, but if she has something to ask Rong Sheng, it's better to have someone watch over her.
"I heard that Suo Etu was dismissed from the post of bachelor by the emperor, and he is still arrogant and arrogant?"
Rong Sheng panicked and knocked over the teacup, "Sister, is it inappropriate for you to call the adults by their first names?"
Rong Xin looked at him, "Will you speak out?"
"Of course not."
Rong Xin looked at the teacup in his hand, and said casually: "If you don't say it, no one will know, just answer my question."
Suo Etu was arrogant and arrogant. He didn't meet the prince for a long time last year, so he resigned due to illness. He had a plan at the time, but he did not expect Kangxi to directly agree.
Now that he can't advance or retreat, Suo Etu is not the kind of person who can really let go of power, so he probably won't let this opportunity to meet the prince be missed.
Rong Sheng raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his face, swallowed his saliva, and said vaguely: "Anyway, I didn't notice any difference from before your resignation, and it's still like a city..."
Rong Xin nodded slowly, remembering Suo Etu's attitude towards her, and asked Rong Sheng, "Will he trust you? Shouldn't he ask you to do something secretive?"
"Yes, I only manage some chores around the adults." Rong Sheng paused, and said, "Earlier Dai brother wanted me to manage the shop, but the adults did not agree."
Rong Xin tapped lightly with her index finger on the table, thought for a moment, and said to Rong Sheng: "Do your thing peacefully, don't be greedy, I have nothing for you to do, nor will I I've treated you badly. But if something happens..."
Rong Xin's eyes were solemn, and she said indifferently: "Don't expect me to forgive you lightly."
Rong Sheng quickly responded: "Sister, don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."
"I remember." Seeing that she was about to leave, Rong Sheng said reluctantly, "Sister, are you leaving now?"
"Well, it's rare to go out of the palace and go around."
After saying that, Rong Xin left without hesitation.
