Chapter 41 041 I wonder how a good child could grow up crooked...
On August 12, Concubine Hui was originally very happy.
She got up early in the morning, combed her hair into her favorite bun, put on a beautiful dress newly made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, listened to the reports from the maids and eunuchs in charge of each palace, and after arranging all the matters, she rushed to Ciren Palace to have breakfast with the Empress Dowager.
After breakfast, at her instruction, I stayed in the warm room in the side hall to chat with her and relieve her boredom.
In the meantime, she also helped receive several concubines who came to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager, and asked those who had no important matters to attend to today to stay and talk with the Empress Dowager.
As their Empress Dowager grew older, she became more and more fond of liveliness, so Concubine Hui would often come to have breakfast with her, and would also specially find a few concubines to chat with her every day to relieve her boredom.
Since all the people were specially selected by Concubine Hui, there were all kinds of personalities, and she tried her best to ensure that the people were different every day, so the warm room in Ciren Palace was soon filled with laughter.
The Queen Mother smiled and held her hand, and it was obvious that she was becoming more and more satisfied with her.
Even the Fifth Princess, who was raised by the Empress Dowager and was clearly born to Concubine De, was very close to her, often giving her the illusion that she was her own biological daughter.
Yes, the fifth princess is only twelve years old, just like a flower. She combines the innocence and cuteness of a little girl with the intelligence and understanding of a young girl. It is really hard not to like her.
Everything was perfect until the girl from the Wang family entered the palace and joined their small gathering of casual chats. Then things gradually began to go out of control in a strange direction.
Concubine Hui had not experienced such a loss of control for at least ten years.
Especially in recent years, she has been in a high position and has almost forgotten what it feels like to be out of control.
This year is the third year that Concubine Hui has replaced Concubine Wenxi in charge of the harem. Because Concubine Wenxi is weak and sickly, she has long been in charge of the harem. Therefore, Concubine Hui, the leader of the four concubines, has to help her more. In fact, Concubine Hui has been the "second in command" of the harem for many years.
In the past two years, the Imperial Concubine's health has been getting worse, so Concubine Hui has naturally taken over the management of the harem affairs. As time goes by, she has become more and more familiar with the affairs in the palace, and ordinary things are no longer difficult for her.
She had always been the type to make plans in advance, and although the Mid-Autumn Festival was still three days away, everything in the palace was already in perfect order under her management. All she had to do was wait for the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to praise her after they had had the banquet, watched the singing and dancing, and admired the moonlight on the day of the festival.
This is an annual practice, and it should be the same this year.
But, from now on, something seems to be wrong.
First, the Queen Mother said mysteriously that she wanted to introduce a clever child to everyone today. Both the appearance and the personality of the child were excellent. I guarantee that no one had ever seen such a child before, and everyone would like him once they met him.
The Fifth Princess also said that this sister was excellent and wanted to open the eyes of all the ladies.
After the Empress Dowager and the Fifth Princess, the old and the young, had raised everyone's expectations to the maximum, the little girl from the Wang family finally arrived.
When they first met, Concubine Hui had a very good impression of the girl.
As expected of a girl from a prominent family, her words and actions are all very proper and there is nothing wrong with her.
What is even more surprising is that she can speak Mongolian. I heard that she has been self-taught for only a short time. Although she doesn't sound very fluent, as a Han Chinese, it is rare for her to learn Mongolian to this level by herself.
Concubine Hui herself could only understand, but it was still very difficult for her to speak. This was one of the reasons why she needed to find many concubines to chat with the Queen Mother.
As a Manchu, she, like many Manchu concubines, was not very familiar with Mongolian. But the Empress Dowager could only speak Mongolian, which made it very difficult for everyone. They had to learn it themselves. They couldn't let the Empress Dowager learn to speak Chinese or Manchu at such an old age.
Therefore, many concubines in the harem who wanted to follow the Empress Dowager's path were trying hard to learn Mongolian. Not to mention, this made the Empress Dowager happier, and everyone also received more or less praise from the Emperor.
It’s just that some are favors, some are rewards. In short, His Majesty knows all about these things very clearly, and nothing in the harem can be hidden from him.
Because she had been doing her duty and working hard in the past few years, the Emperor gave her face. Not only did he let her be the head of the four concubines, but he also gave her the power to manage the harem during the period when Concubine Wenxi was in poor health.
She was so moved that she worked even harder.
Therefore, Concubine Hui took great care of this little girl from the Wang family who could make the Empress Dowager happy.
Not only did she personally ask about her well-being, she also tried to bring her into the circle - Huifei had heard before that this little girl was chosen by the emperor himself as a study partner for the Fifth Princess. The Fifth Princess was the emperor's favorite daughter, and the girl who could be her study partner must be extraordinary.
What's more, even the Empress Dowager praised this girl highly, so she must be a good one.
You have to get along well with her and pamper her like you would your own daughter, just like you did with the Fifth Princess.
Since Concubine Hui had this intention, with her ability, it was of course no problem for her to make a teenage girl happy, and naturally she quickly won Xianyu's favor.
Originally, everything should be like this. Concubine Hui was still the stable and proper head of the harem, and Xianyu should have addressed her as "Empress Hui" respectfully, just like the Fifth Princess. Then everyone should get along happily together, accompany the Empress Dowager to have fun and spend the long years together.
Who would have known that at this moment, Concubine Hui actually triggered Xianyu's "voice over her heart" function and successfully became the first person in the entire harem to hear Xianyu's inner voice.
If Concubine Hui knew how rare this was, she would definitely be very excited.
But she didn't know that yet.
After all, she was just an ordinary person. She was suddenly "controlled" by an unknown mysterious force, and suddenly heard a young female voice talking to her directly from the void. This "phenomenon" that could not be explained by common sense almost made her faint on the spot.
Of course she couldn't faint.
Fortunately, she did not faint, because next, she heard the "divine revelation" about her biological son, the eldest prince Yinzhen, and her adopted son, the eighth prince Yinsi.
What?
Will Yinzhen be imprisoned in the future because of his failure in competing with the crown prince for the throne?
Later, Yinsi will also be involved, and because he offends the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince, his final fate will be even worse than Yinzhi?
What are all these?
Who has the guts to discuss state affairs here?
Is this voice from the little girl from the Wang family?
Oh my god! How dare she say anything? Isn't she afraid of being killed along with her entire clan?
No? Why can she speak without opening her mouth?
This is……
All of a sudden, the mysterious rumors about the little girl from the Wang family a few days ago suddenly entered Concubine Hui's mind. It seemed like she had heard someone say that this little girl was a little special. Could it be that it came true here?
Concubine Hui felt that her mind was in a mess and she didn't even hear what the empress dowager said to her.
In fact, even if she heard it, it would be useless, because as long as Xianyu's inner voice did not stop, she would not be able to respond to any external stimuli.
The Queen Mother was obviously unaware of this. She was very surprised at Concubine Hui's abnormal condition. The concubines around her gradually stopped talking and looked at Concubine Hui with confusion, making Concubine Hui, who was still being controlled, even more uncomfortable.
In the end, it was the Fifth Princess who took the lead in breaking the deadlock. She came over and held Concubine Hui's arm, and asked with concern: "Concubine Hui looks unwell, but have you been tired these days?"
After hearing this, the Queen Mother also reacted. She meant that Concubine Hui looked very wrong today. It was because of this. She felt a little guilty and said hurriedly, "It's true that she doesn't look good. Since you are tired, why don't you go back and rest?"
Upon seeing this, Xianyu temporarily stopped sighing in her heart and expressed her concern for Concubine Hui, which made Concubine Hui even more at a loss as to what to do.
She now realized that those "divine revelations" just now were indeed the inner thoughts of the little girl from the Wang family. As for why she could hear them, she didn't know the reason yet, but it didn't matter. She still wanted to continue listening to what happened next.
For example, how did her two sons get involved in the fight for the throne?
Doesn't she remember teaching them this?
Let’s not talk about the eighth child. That child has always been smart and the most sensible. Even the eldest prince, her own son, has been an obedient child since he was young. How could he be so careless?
So, how come these two good kids suddenly grew up crooked?
I wonder if this little girl from the Wang family knows what’s going on?
Most importantly, if this is true, would it be any use locking them up and beating them up now?
Or, is there any way to stop them from doing this?
Can the fight for the throne be successful easily?
I am really tired of living, your emperor father is still alive and well...
Concubine Hui wanted to continue listening to Xianyu, so of course she didn't want to go back to rest. Fortunately, she had always had high IQ and EQ, and now that she had temporarily regained her "freedom", it was a piece of cake for her to deal with such a situation.
So she immediately smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Empress Dowager and Fifth Princess. I'm fine. I was just distracted for a moment, nothing serious. I probably didn't eat enough this morning and I'm hungry now. Since the Empress Dowager is in the mood to have a small banquet today, why don't we start now? I'll eat some of the Empress Dowager's goodies with everyone else, and I'll be fine."
