Female Official In the East Palace

However, at the beginning of February, the second daughter of the emperor, who was born by the concubine Dong, died at the age of three. While holding a funeral for her, Nemin prepared to welcome the return of the emperor and the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager has been outside the palace for more than a year, unlike the emperor who came back once last summer. After greeting everyone to get up, he took Nemin's hand and spoke.

"The queen has reduced a lot." She said and patted Nemin's hand pitifully, "But it's hard?"

Nemin shook her head and apologized warmly: "The Empress Dowager Lao is worried about me, it's my fault."

"I know your difficulties, so you don't need to say more."

The Empress Dowager asked the others to go back first, and then Nemin and Kangxi followed her back to the Cining Palace.

Dinner had already been prepared in the Cining Palace, Kangxi and the Empress Dowager took a break, then sat together with the Empress Dowager and Nemin, a family of four worthy of the name of Tianjia. .

There are people specially serving here, Rong Xin is still going to the side hall with Su Malagu.

The two of them don't need the little palace maid to be around, Rong Xin personally set the chopsticks for Su Malagu to pick up the vegetables, and greeted: "Mother, is the journey back from Chicheng going smoothly?"

Aunt Su Mala saw that she was the same as before, not a bit arrogant, and said with a smile: "Smooth, the people who serve are careful, the empress dowager and the emperor are not ill."

"In this way, the Queen's worries can be put down."

Aunt Su Mala picked up the chopsticks at hand, took a piece of chicken for her, and said, "You look thinner too, eat more."

"Thank you." Rong Xin took the bowl with both hands and ate it directly.

Aunt Su Mala watched her eat with a smile on her face, then thought of something, sighed softly, and said: "When the second prince went, the emperor was worried about the body of the queen mother and did not tell the truth. , but how can the Empress Dowager and I not notice the difference between the emperor? I just don't know what happened, I thought it was caused by political affairs."

When Rong Xin heard this, he put down his chopsticks and said, "The Empress Dowager went to Chicheng to recover from her illness, and the Empress does not want to upset the Empress Dowager because of the second prince."

Some of the old ladies in the palace are very high-ranking, and Su Ma Lagu was enlightened by Kangxi, and she is very respected in the palace, so although she has always been not over the top, her words are more Ordinary palace people can do whatever they want.

Rong Xin is actually okay, but she has always been very cautious except in front of Ne Min, and at this time, she responded to Su Mala Gu, "I can save it, and I will often guide the queen."

Mentioning that the prince was inevitably depressed, Rong Xin took the initiative to talk about the fifth prince. Older people like children to be healthy and lively, Su Malagu was happy to hear it, and kept asking questions, and said The next time she goes to visit the Fifth Prince, she will go with her.

Su Malagu was obviously not only for herself, but also wanted to take a look at the fifth prince on behalf of the empress dowager, so Rong Xin readily agreed and said that she would be notified when she went.

The Empress Dowager and the Emperor came back from a long journey, and Nemin was inconvenient to disturb them, so she returned to Kunning Palace early after dinner.

Rong Xin told Nemin what she had heard from Suma Lagu, but Nemin just said: "The matter has passed, it is meaningless to mention it again, it will only add to the sadness."

As for why the Empress Dowager thought that Kangxi was disturbed by political affairs, Rong Xin did not go to inquire, but only after a few days of rumors revealed the reason.

It turned out that Kangxi was worried that the three vassal kings headed by Wu Sangui would support their troops and wanted to withdraw their vassal;

Therefore, when the concubines greeted the concubines, Nemin asked them to be more at ease with the emperor and not to disturb him.

Rong Xin returned to the palace after putting on makeup, and replied to Nemin: "Although I haven't watched the ceremony, but I see that tomorrow will be very lively."

Nemin recalled: "I remember when my eldest brother got married, there were also many guests, so it was very lively."

"I also remember." The eldest son and grandson of the big house was indeed very beautiful at that time.

Rong Xin didn't want Nemin to feel uncomfortable when she thought of this, so she smiled and said, "If it is said to be lively and grand, who in the world can get a wedding like you and the emperor?"

"You don't know how tired I was for that day." Nemin leaned slightly on the cushion and complained, "I was afraid that something went wrong, Dare to take it lightly, when I took off the crown at night, my neck was stiff."

Rong Xin asked with some distress: "Why didn't you tell me at that time?"

She actually thought that Nemin would be uneasy at that time, and she had been comforting her all the time, but she did not expect that Nemin would work harder than she thought.

Nermin didn't think that her words would provoke Rong Xin like this, and quickly said with a smile: "Don't do this, I look back now, and I feel that when I was young, everything was interesting, but it was Sister Rong, I don't seem to have seen any jokes from you."

Rong Xin laughed, "You want to hear my joke?"

"Is there any?" Nemin's eyes lit up, and she asked expectantly.

Rong Xin thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes."

As soon as Nemin heard it, he urged: "Really? Tell me quickly."

Rong Xin glanced at her a little helplessly, "Since you want to listen to me talk about ancient times, how about letting me sit down?"

"Sit down, there is no one else, do you need my permission?"

Rong Xin moved a stool and sat in front of Nemin, under her eager eyes, said: "In the thirteenth year of Shizu, not long after I arrived with you, you don't like to play with me. , I was worried that the eldest lady would send me back, so I made a face to make you laugh."

"What kind of joke is this?"

Rong Xin said expressionlessly: "But I scared you to tears."

"Yes, yes?" Nemin moved the corners of her mouth, wondering if she should laugh, and asked, "Is there a penalty?"

Rong Xin shook her head, "I carried Mama Qi and your wet nurse on my back. Later, when they saw you, they always looked at me and thought you liked me."

Nemin laughed, "I don't even remember."

"It's not unusual for you to remember when you were young."

Because she didn't know, Nemin became more and more interested, "Is there any more?"

"In the fifteenth year of Shizu, you secretly cried because of Master Lunbu's domineering and snatched the palace flower from your head. Didn't I pick a flower in the garden for you?"

"I seem to have some impressions..." Nemin's expression gradually became strange.

Rong Xin nodded and smiled: "You accidentally broke the flower, and the juice of the flower rubbed against your forehead, Qi Ma and the others thought you were injured, but you yourself were startled and cried. terribly frightened.”

Nemin said embarrassedly, "I didn't mean to tell your jokes, how could you tell me about mine?"

Rong Xin smiled greatly, "I really thought about it, and found that there is really nothing scandalous to say, but it is you, Miss, if you see such a graceful appearance now, I would never have imagined that there is still such a thing. Naughty time."

And after thinking about it for a while, Rong Xin found that every thing she remembered deeply for more than ten years was related to Nemin, and it must be the same with Nemin.

Unfortunately, Nemin only felt embarrassed and didn't think of that.

Rong Xin smiled unabated, and joked: "Then do you want me to continue?"

"That's all." Nemin said unwillingly, "I understand, I'm just not as old as Sister Rong, otherwise I can teach you many jokes."

Rong Xin covered her lips and smiled uncontrollably, and when she saw Nemin's expression, she almost laughed out loud.

Nemin looked at her for a long time and couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, Kangxi stepped into the hall in order to let people know, saw Nemin's frowning eyes, and asked with a smile, "When did the queen feel so good?"

Rong Xin immediately stood up and saluted, and Nemin bowed slightly, saying, "Your Majesty, I'm just talking about something from my childhood."

"Oh?" Kangxi shook his head and sat down before laughing, "Why don't you tell me, I'm very curious about what Min'er looked like when she was a child."

Nermin blushed immediately, pulled his sleeve, and said softly: "Your Majesty, there were times when my concubine was ignorant when I was young, but I don't want to say that it's bad for you. image in the mind."

Kangxi rarely saw her in such embarrassment, so he looked at Rong Xin and said, "I'm getting more and more curious..."

"Your Majesty and the Empress, the servants should not be involved, otherwise the madam will be angry with the servants." Rong Xin said with a smile: "If the Emperor wants to know the affairs of the Empress when she was young, then You can take two or three things in exchange, presumably the empress will not feel ashamed."

After she finished speaking, she left, and when she was leaving, she took Liang Jiugong and others with her.

And Kangxi heard what Rong Xin said and smiled: "It really is the female official next to the queen, this courage is different."

Some people use it.

Nemin laughed secretly, and then said seriously: "My concubine thinks Rong Xin's suggestion is very good, my concubine and your young husband and wife know very little about you when you were young, it is better to be alone Would you like to exchange it for this?"

Kangxi was also interested, "Where did it come from?"

"The emperor asks first, and naturally starts from the emperor."

Kangxi raised his eyebrows and retorted with a smile: "I thought the queen should be the example."

…

On the other side, Liang Jiugong bowed his hands to Rong Xin with admiration: "It's been rare to see the emperor show his arms for many days, so Rong female officer has a solution."

Rong Xin didn't take it seriously, and said modestly: "The emperor is because of the empress's beauty, and it has nothing to do with me."

Liang Jiugong immediately echoed after hearing this: "So, the emperor has a little spare time today, so I will ask the emperor for instructions, but if I want to come to the queen's concubine for dinner, the emperor will be much more at ease."

"Eunuch Liang has a heart."

Liang Jiugong shook his head and said with a loyal look: "We are all dedicated to the master, and naturally hope the masters are well."

Rong Xin was noncommittal about his words, she was for a good life, not a born slave.

Kangxi wanted to be the Holy Lord of Mingjun, so naturally he wouldn't blame her for her words, not to mention Aiwu and Wuyi, which has always been corroborated.

Nemin is a good queen, and Kangxi loves and respects her.

So Rong Xin is a little more casual. Now Kangxi, because of his magnanimity, will naturally not have the same bottom line as ordinary eunuchs and palace maids in the future.
