Chapter 703: The Empress is summoned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
"Sister, you are so lucky. Concubine Wen is so much better than all the daughters-in-law of this generation."
As soon as she left the palace, Concubine Rong said with a smile.
It is impossible to say that Concubine Rong does not feel sour.
For so many years, they had been serving the Queen Mother respectfully. Suddenly, a wine warmer appeared and passed all of them.
Even Concubine De benefited from the warm wine and received praise from the Empress Dowager.
In the past, the Empress Dowager disliked Concubine De the most. When she was talking to the Empress Dowager, Concubine De could only watch from the side.
Speaking of which, Concubine De is really lucky. How come she ended up with such a smart daughter-in-law?
It would have been fine if the Emperor would often go to Concubine De's courtyard just for the sake of warm wine and meals, but now even the Empress Dowager's attitude towards her has improved a bit.
The key point is that her daughter-in-law is so fertile that she gave birth to four children in one go.
Rong Fei suddenly understood Hui Fei's feelings.
It’s really strange. Doesn’t the Empress Dowager hate concubines the most?
The concubines of the other princes had never even seen the Empress Dowager. It seemed like all the rules were useless when it came to warming the wine. Speaking of which, she truly stood out among the younger generation...
De Fei naturally noticed that Rong Fei was in a bad mood at the moment, so she just smiled and said, "How could that be? She is still stupid and has a lot to learn."
After hearing this, Rong Fei wanted to throw the handkerchief in her hand at De Fei's face.
"If your daughter-in-law is a fool, all of us will be dead."
Still stupid?
After just a short while of meeting, he made the empress dowager laugh several times.
How long has it been since he entered the palace? The emperor has also begun to summon him. I have never seen such a "stupid" person.
After hearing this, Concubine De looked at Concubine Rong's face and suddenly smiled: "Thank you for the compliment, sister."
He paused and said, "Sister, please go ahead. I won't be going with you.
Rong Fei glanced in the direction of Yonghe Palace and said with a smile, "Why don't you go back to Yonghe Palace, sister?"
Are you going to take this opportunity to visit the Qing Palace?
The Emperor didn't say he was going to summon Consort De. She's already so old, isn't she afraid of being laughed at for vying for favor like this?
The smile on Concubine De's face grew even wider. "Sister, you should know that the Fourth Prince and Jiu'er have brought all the children to the palace. They are all in the East Third Residence now. I'm still worried about them and want to go and see them. I heard that the children can call people now, so it's time for some fun. Sister, do you want to come with me?"
The smile on Rong Fei's face froze: "No need, there are still some things to do in the palace."
Going from Cining Palace to Dongsanso? I must be crazy to run so far with her!
"That's such a pity," Defei smiled even more deeply: "I have too many grandchildren, and I thought I couldn't hold them all. Sister Rongfei can come and help. I didn't expect that sister still has something to do, so I won't disturb you. I'll leave now." After that, she supported Aunt Wen and walked towards the East Third House gracefully.
"She...she...she...she's making me so mad!"
The nanny beside Concubine Rong saw this and immediately helped her to hold her chest: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, don't be angry, we still have Prince Hongqing! It's not like Concubine De is the only one who has a grandson."
Rong Fei took two deep breaths and said, "Right! Who doesn't have a grandson? Is she the only one who has a grandson? What's there to show off? Even if she has many grandsons, they are not as smart as our Hong Qing!"
"Yes, yes, our Prince Hongqing is the smartest!"
Rong Fei took two deep breaths, shook her handkerchief fiercely, and glanced at De Fei's brisk steps. Rong Fei exclaimed fiercely: "Why isn't she exhausted to death!"
…
"Your Majesty, I think Concubine Rong is very angry this time. I saw her glaring at us for quite a while."
Concubine De smiled immediately: "I have been feeling this way for more than ten years, and today I am finally relieved!"
Aunt Wen felt a pang in her heart when she saw the long-lost smile on Concubine De's face.
Having been with the Empress all these years, she naturally knew the grievances the Empress had suffered.
This Concubine Rong seems to be someone who is easy to get along with, but the Concubine has suffered a lot of grievances in front of her over the years.
She was of high status and good knowledge. When the Empress first entered the palace, she lived in the same palace with her. She never raised her head.
At that time, he had to listen to her teachings every few days, and when the emperor came, he was often snatched away by her.
Back then, she said she had a cold body and even took away all the charcoal that the Empress was entitled to.
One winter, the Empress's hands were covered in frostbite, and she had to help them mend clothes and provide for the palace.
Concubine Hui has always disliked the Empress, and whenever she gets the chance, she always wants to step on her.
There were also Concubine Wenxi and Concubine Tongjia back then, each of them was a tough guy.
The Empress came from a poor family and has walked to where she is today, trembling with fear. I don’t know how much bitterness and hardship she has experienced.
Aunt Wen sniffed and continued, "Your Majesty, we have finally found happiness after all the hardships we have endured. People say that things change over time. From now on, your life will be the best it can be."
Concubine De smiled as she listened. "I've finally come to terms with it. I'm not as knowledgeable as them, nor do I have the same good family background as them, but I can give birth to sons and choose daughters-in-law. And now it seems like who has enjoyed as much good fortune as I do? Just talking about food, is there anyone who can compare? From now on, it's time for me to enjoy a few more years of my life."
Concubine De smiled again as she said this: "After the New Year is over, call them all to the palace for dinner. Then have Jiu'er bring a top-notch meal and treat them well."
Aunt Wen was stunned when she heard this: "My Lady, what is this?"
"Let them have a good meal to whet their appetites. From now on, we'll see if they can still eat the ordinary imperial meals."
"Then help me dress up nicely. I will wear the hairpins given by the Fourth Brothers and the Emperor as a gift. I want to show off my wealth and dignity."
"Your Majesty, Concubine Hui will surely be furious by then."
"I just want to piss her off!" De Fei said this, her smile growing even wider. "Hurry up! I don't know if the children like these little toys I brought. If they do, I'll make a few more for them."
When Aunt Wen heard this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch. "My Queen, what young master would like this pure gold wave drum? It's so heavy that he can't even lift it!"
And the little tiger and various small ornaments were all made of pure gold by the Queen.
I guess the Fourth Master and Jiu'er would be shocked if they saw this.
The weather was extremely cold in the twelfth lunar month. The young eunuchs behind him were each holding a large box. They were so tired that beads of sweat were oozing from their foreheads.
Now, to get to the Cining Palace, we have to go to the East Three Houses, but it is a long way to go.
However, seeing how excited Concubine De was, Aunt Wen finally shut up.
I hope the little brothers like it.
Seeing that they had just turned the corner and arrived at Gandong Fourth Office, Aunt Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
However, this group of people was stopped by Li Dequan.
"Your Majesty, how are you?" Li Dequan bowed, a smile suddenly appearing on his face. He took a breath and said, "I have finally caught up with Your Majesty."
Seeing Consort De looking over, Li Dequan immediately said, "The Emperor has sent Consort De to the Palace of Purity."
Concubine De was stunned: "Why did the Emperor suddenly summon me?"
Li Dequan replied with a smile, "Even this servant doesn't know the whole story. Your Majesty, you will know when you arrive at the Palace of Heavenly Purity."
