Bai Xia delivered ointment to each of the three wounded soldiers.
Zhou Fugui was a man of deep emotions. When he learned that his master had not only given him the ointment but also allowed the wounded to rest that day and not have to work, his eyes immediately filled with tears.
He kowtowed several times towards the main house in the courtyard, pointing to the sky and swearing his loyalty to his master. Although his words were quite serious, the scene was quite comical. Then he limped off to do his duty.
Bai Xia couldn't stop her no matter what.
Because Su Lan wasn't deliberately concealed when she was sent back to the Imperial Household Department yesterday, and He Zhuo was the first prince's consort, the topic was still relatively fresh. So, by the afternoon of the following day, everyone knew that the Grand Consort had beaten the maid who had climbed into her bedchamber and sent her back to the Imperial Household Department.
He Zhuo's statement clearly expressed his dislike for palace maids who climbed into his bedchamber.
When Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia heard about this from her trusted maid, her expression flickered, and she finally sighed. She was just enduring the days.
The history here differs from the history known to the Grand Consort. For example, the Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia passed away on the tenth day of the seventh month of the twenty-eighth year of Kangxi's reign. Although she is currently ill, she is estimated to be able to hold on for a while longer. It is now the eighth month of the twenty-ninth year of Kangxi's reign.
Although there is the Empress Dowager as her mother-in-law, she does not manage affairs.
Since the death of the Empress Dowager in the 26th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia was the de facto head of the harem. However, she was not happy in this position; all her love had been buried in the dimly lit Forbidden City, and now she was merely enduring the days.
Sometimes in her hazy dreams, the Imperial Noble Consort wondered if she would have children and be happy and content if she hadn't entered the palace, instead of being all alone in this magnificent yet cold Jingren Palace.
Everyone inside and outside the palace believed that it was she who pushed Uya into the emperor's bed, but that was not the case at all; it was her cousin.
Her cousin knew that she was disgusted by the woman who had climbed into his bed, but he still placed her in Jingren Palace and later asked her to take care of her. The Imperial Noble Consort loved her too humbly and did not refuse, nor did she dare to refuse.
As long as the Emperor comes to Jingren Palace, it doesn't matter who he's visiting. As long as he's there, as long as he has her in his heart, as long as Jingren Palace is there, that's enough.
But the emperor hurt her deeply, repeatedly using and harming her. The death of her daughter made her completely disillusioned with the emperor and the palace.
Uya gave birth to another son in the past two years. He is over 30 years old and still able to serve the emperor.
Ever since the imperial physician said she wouldn't live more than three years two years ago, she has kept the fourth prince, Yinzhen, by her side every day, caring for him and teaching him constantly. She knows that Yinzhen is the emperor's comfort to her, a comfort for her inability to have children, and also a deal between the Uya clan and the Tongjia clan in exchange for a concubine rank.
That vile woman, Uya, gave her daughter to the Empress Dowager again, gradually establishing herself in the palace and winning a place in the Emperor's heart. She was an exceptionally capable woman, and the Emperor bestowed upon her the highest title among all the concubines.
If we were to ask who the Imperial Noble Consort hated the most, it would undoubtedly be Lady Wuya. She gave her son to her, and the Tong family and she were foolish enough not to stop her from becoming a concubine. In reality, she had only found a noble foster mother for her son. The son was still her son, and he would never be Lady Tongjia's son.
After her little princess died, she understood that the emperor would not allow the Tong family to produce a prince. Unfortunately, the Tong family could not see this, so they sent their younger sister into the palace. Perhaps they knew this, but they were just hoping for that one in ten thousand chance.
Hehe, the harem is all under the emperor's control. If the emperor doesn't allow anyone to have children, then no one can have children.
The jade tablet could not bear the name of her Tongjia son. She wanted Yinzhen to recognize her as his mother. Therefore, since the death of the little princess, she had been taking good care of Yinzhen every day, showing him great concern and love. Although the child was initially distant from her because of her previous pregnancy with the little princess, she was not in a hurry and took it slow.
Clearly, her efforts over the past few years had not been in vain. Yinzhen and she were growing closer and closer. It was truly a case of sincerity begetting sincerity. Although she harbored resentment towards Wuya, she still treated her son with all her heart.
