Ma Quan was very depressed, just now she was looking forward to the sweet love, but in the blink of an eye, there may be no sweet love in this life.

Who hit her?who is it!

It wasn't her person that bumped into her, but her love that bumped away!

"Let's go, let's go to the juggling." Fortunately, Kangxi didn't say much, which relieved Ma Yuan's embarrassment.

She shrank back alone, wondering if she hadn't done enough good things recently, and the years were not good.

Seeing her like this, Kangxi only felt funny and helpless, could this girl show her unhappiness more clearly?

Although it was just an accident just now, is it so unacceptable to be kissed by him?

He has long seen that Ma Guan just wants to be a maid in peace of mind, not his pillow.Although this made him unhappy, he didn't want to force it either. He was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, so there was no need to force a woman who didn't like him.

As for Ma Guan, he naturally likes her, otherwise he would not tolerate her petty temper, would not let her serve in Xinuang Pavilion, and would not bring her out to play tonight.

Thinking of this, Kangxi felt a little depressed. He likes a woman and treats a woman well, but that woman doesn't accept it. How can this make him feel bad?

While thinking about it, the juggling place arrived, and cheers were heard from a long distance away, and it was already three floors inside and three floors outside.

Most of the juggling troupes in central Beijing have come, after all, it is not easy to gather so many onlookers on weekdays.

These juggling troupes each have their own skills, some breathe fire, some change faces, some walk on stilts, some pick millet from fire, and some swallow knives.

Ma Guan's attention was also attracted, temporarily forgetting the embarrassing scene just now.

Two guards blocked the crowd, allowing Kangxi, Ma Guan and Liang Jiugong to pass through, watching from such a close distance, everyone couldn't help being excited.

Especially when a fire dragon rushed towards the face, Ma Guan's heart disease was about to be frightened out, it was amazing and exciting!

After watching all the performances, it was getting late, and everyone finally returned to the palace before the palace gate was closed.

This night was novel and exciting to Ma Guan, enough for her to think about it for a long time.As for that unexpected kiss, she was shackled and thrown into the depths of her mind.

As the new year passed, the new election for the Ministry of Internal Affairs began, and by the end of the month, dozens of court ladies would enter the palace.As for the court ladies who have reached their age, they were released before the new year.

Such a replacement of the old and the new can ensure the eternal prosperity of the imperial palace.

In addition to these court ladies, a girl named Tong Jia Xiuyi was also admitted this year.As soon as he came, he was arranged in Chengqian Palace and became the master of Chengqian Palace. His status was comparable to that of the Nala family of Yanxi Palace and the Ma Jia family of Zhongcui Palace.

This Tong Jia family has a lot of background, as can be seen from the fact that she is qualified to enter the palace alone.She is the daughter of Uncle Tong Guowei, the emperor's own cousin!

This identity background is much higher than that of the Nala family and the Ma Jia family.

Tong Jiashi has just turned seventeen this year. She is petite and cute, and her voice is sweet and soft. She is especially good at acting like a baby.

Kangxi doted on her very much, and flipped her sign for three days in a row, and seven times a month. This Tong Jia family seemed to have become the most favored empress in the harem, even overshadowing Niu Gulu, who was in charge of the harem.

Maybe it's because Tong Jia's pampering was too much, and gradually he became a little arrogant. When he saw Nala's and Ma Jia's, he would always make a few sarcastic remarks, and sometimes he even didn't give Niu Gulu's face.

There were even rumors that Tong Jia's family secretly laughed at Niu Gulu's family as a saline-alkali land, and could not give birth to children after ten years in the palace.

This word reached Niu Gulu's ears, Niu Gulu was angry and sad in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but Lian Qing, the eldest lady next to her, was out of breath.

So much so that every time Lianqing saw Xiuhe, the palace maid next to Tong Jiashi, the two of them would stare at each other.

"Master, your temper is too good, so what if she is favored? It's just a newcomer to the palace, and the emperor finds it new. You are in charge of the harem, but she talks about you behind your back. Master, you should teach her a lesson." Stop. Otherwise, it will make people laugh."

Lian Qing has fought for Niu Gulu's injustice more than once, seeing Xiuhe's arrogance overwhelm her, she is really angry.

Niu Gulu smiled lightly and said: "She forced her to be strong, and the breeze blows the hills. If I confront her head-on now, I will probably be the one who gets hurt. Not to mention that she is really favored, but to say that she is close to the emperor." In terms of distance, I am too far behind."

"But master, you are in charge of the harem after all, so you are qualified to teach her the rules." Lian Qing was very depressed, always feeling that the master had surrendered.

"You also know that I'm just acting in charge of the harem..." Niu Gulu sighed softly: "If this code name is not cancelled, I will never be able to be justified. Even if I teach her the rules, I have to grasp her real handle."

But Tong Jiashi is very smart, her arrogance is her arrogance, and she will never fall into the trap.In front of the emperor, she even called her older sister and younger sister, calling her extremely affectionate.

"Master, this servant understands." Lian Qing knew that she was impulsive.The master is not admitting defeat, but waiting for an opportunity.

In Chengqian Palace, Tong Jiashi and Xiuhe are also discussing Niu Gulushi.

Xiuhe smiled lightly and said: "Master, you don't know, when Lianqing saw the servant girl today, she had an expression on her face that she wanted to eat her servant girl. Niu Gulu must have been very angry, the emperor only went to her palace twice this month. .”

Tong Jiashi played with the bracelet that the emperor had bestowed upon her, and said with a disdainful smile: "This harem was originally intended to be my opponent, but it's a pity that she has never had a child. Have a baby."

"As long as the master gives birth to a boy and a half girl, the emperor may let the master's offspring take charge of the harem, no, let the master take charge of the harem." Xiuhe complimented her while beating her legs.

If Tong Jiashi really became the empress of the Zhenggong Palace, then she would rise to a higher level. In the future, someone like Lian Qing would never dare to talk back to her after seeing her.

"Oh, you're the only one with a sweet tongue. Let's just talk about it, but don't spread it." Tong Jiashi warned with a smile.

"Master, don't worry, this servant will never spread the word. But master, this servant feels that there is someone who needs the master's attention."

"Who?" Tong Jia asked casually.

In the past month or so, she has basically become familiar with those who have a certain status in the harem. Except for Niu Gulu, no one can make her look down on her.

Xiuhe replied: "It's a court lady named Ma Guan who serves in Qianqing Palace."

"A mere court lady, is there anything worthy of my attention?" Tong Jia frowned secretly, is this Xiuhe making too much of a fuss?

"Master, this person has to be guarded. Last year because of her, both the Li family and the Wanyan family were folded in, and both were grounded, and even the Ma Jia family was left out for a while. On New Year's Eve, the Empress Dowager appeared in public Reward her to the emperor, and also enjoy the monthly rules of Xiao Gege. It is said that the emperor once took her out of the palace to play, even Niu Gulu has never enjoyed such an honor."

Xiuhe told everything she knew, and Tong Jia's face became more dignified the more she heard it. How could a court lady be valued by the emperor so much?

"If the emperor really values ​​her so much, why isn't she included in the harem?" Tong Jia couldn't figure it out.

"I don't know about this servant, but she is the first and only maid who can enter Xinuang Pavilion to serve." Having said this, Xiuhe secretly took a look at Tong Jiashi, and sure enough, she saw Tong Jiashi's complexion darken.

Xinuange is a place that even she cannot enter!

……

Ma Guan didn't know that she was being missed again.

In fact, she was very happy when Tong Jiashi entered the palace, and she was even happier when the emperor favored Tong Jiashi, which meant that the emperor's attention was diverted and he had no time to pay attention to her.

The emperor is busy with everything, and the accident that day will soon be forgotten by him. In this way, she doesn't have to worry about being included in the harem.

The weather became warmer in no time, and that day Ma Guan delivered snacks to the Empress Dowager, and took Baocheng to the Compassion Palace to play, but unexpectedly ran into Tong Jiashi who was paying her respects to the Empress Dowager.

This was the first time Ma Yuan saw Tong Jiashi, she was as petite and cute as the legend said, and she was especially good at acting like a baby, especially at making people happy.

"This is His Highness the Crown Prince, right? Your Highness is dignified, well-behaved and sensible, and he will definitely be a good emperor in the future." Tong Jia smiled and wanted to hold Baocheng's little hand, but Baocheng avoided it.

Ma Juan's gaze was a bit strange. Even if she was not familiar with the history of the Qing Dynasty, she knew that Kangxi was followed by Yongzheng, and Yongzheng was called Yinzhen, who was the fourth eldest child. It was not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

According to the time, Yongzheng has not yet been born, and Yongzheng's mother does not know who is the lucky one, and it is estimated that she is not favored now.

Tong Jiashi was a little embarrassed, but quickly covered it up: "His Royal Highness seems to recognize his life."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "He has never seen you. Baocheng, this is your concubine Tong Jia."

"I've seen my concubine." Baocheng bowed obediently.

"Hey! His Royal Highness is really sensible. The first time we met, the imperial concubine didn't prepare any meeting ceremony, but made some snacks by herself. Your Royal Highness, try one?" Tong Jiashi was very enthusiastic. Played a small calculation.

Now His Highness the Crown Prince is being raised by the Emperor himself, if she treats His Highness better and wins her to be raised by her side in the future, it will definitely be of great help to her in the future when she becomes an Empress!

"Thank you concubine." After all, Baocheng was young, and when he saw something delicious, he happily took it.

He took a bite carefully, but after chewing a few times, he frowned and handed the rest to Xueyin.

"It's not as delicious as my Aunt Ma Yu's cooking." Tong Jiashi's face flushed red immediately with disgust in her tone.

Ma Guan secretly said that it was bad, this brat knew how to bring hatred to her, she must be hated by Tong Jiashi this time!

The Empress Dowager also frowned imperceptibly, her smile subsided slightly, she pulled Baocheng over and said, "How can you talk to Concubine Tong Jia like this? How can you dislike the food that your concubine gave you?"

"Great-great-grandmother, it's my grandson who made a mistake. Concubine, I'm sorry." Baocheng also seemed to know that he had said something wrong, and bowed his head to apologize.

"Tong Yan Wuji. Xiuyi, don't argue with the prince." The empress dowager smoothed things over.

"What did the emperor's grandmother say? Why would I care about His Royal Highness? It's all my fault. It's because I'm not good at learning and let His Royal Highness see a joke." Tong Jia smiled stiffly, took Baocheng's hand and said: " Your Royal Highness, the concubine will definitely cook better next time, and invite you to taste it again, okay?"

She hated her so much, she had heard that His Royal Highness was very close to Ma Yuan, but she did not expect to be so close to him, and said to her face that the dim sum she made was not as good as Ma Yuan.

The empress dowager's attitude also surprised her, she actually mentioned something to her by talking about the prince.Where is it to tell her not to care about His Highness the Crown Prince?It is to let her not care about Ma Yuan!

Just a court lady, why?

Just because she looks a bit like a dead queen?Just because you know how to make dim sum?

She, Tong Jiaxiuyi, had never experienced such humiliation.

"Okay." Baocheng didn't know the twists and turns in her heart, and replied with a smile.

Tong Jia left quickly, and the Empress Dowager asked Lagu Su Ma to remove her dim sum and replace it with one made by Ma Guan.

The empress dowager tasted a piece, but it still tasted the same.

"The Ai family doesn't even know if it's wrong to let you go to the Qianqing Palace." She looked at Ma Guan, her eyes were full of love, and she was a little puzzled.

From the very beginning, she had trained Ma Quan as a substitute for Empress Xiao Chengren, and she naturally noticed Ma Quan's performance when the emperor saw him that day.Afterwards, seeing that the emperor treated Ma Guan really differently, she felt that she had made the right move.

But this also puts Ma Guan in danger. Whether it is the matter of Zhongcui Palace or the matter of poisoning, she knows something about it, and she has nothing to do with the harem.

This time, seeing that Tong Jiashi also hated Ma Quan, this is really not a good thing for Ma Quan.

Born too special, too dazzling, either soaring into the sky with brilliance, or falling into the dust and disappearing, she is not sure which kind Ma Guan will become.

She thought that the emperor would bring her into the harem soon, but she didn't expect that in the past few months, there was no movement at all, and she was a little unclear about the emperor's thoughts.

"My master loves my slaves so much that I let them serve in the Qianqing Palace. During these days, the emperor and His Royal Highness have treated my slaves very well." Ma Guan was grateful. She knew that the Empress Dowager loved her and did not want her to get involved in danger and trouble. among.

"Forget it, be careful in the future, and don't go if you can't go to the harem." The empress dowager couldn't say much.

"Thank you, master, for your reminder." Ma Guan had a shadow over the harem, so naturally he would not go there if he had nothing to do.

……

She didn't go, but the trouble came to her on her own initiative.

In a blink of an eye, it was Kangxi's birthday. After Kangxi held a family banquet, he flipped Tong Jia's brand again.Tong Jiashi was sent to the Qianqing Palace to serve as a dormitory, and she was already familiar with it, and she was looking forward to it.

Afterwards, Tong Jiashi whispered in his ears: "The emperor is still so powerful tonight, I can't bear it anymore."

Kangxi smiled drunkenly and said, "How come I see you are still very energetic?"

Seeing Tong Jia's loss and silence, Kangxi asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Tong Jia was about to cry, and sighed: "The concubine is just thinking of something sad. Your Majesty, is the concubine very useless? In terms of pregnancy and childbirth, she is not as good as sister Ma Jia, and in terms of making snacks, she is not as good as a maid in the emperor's palace."

"You mean Ma Guan? Why did you mention her?" Kangxi suppressed his smile, his expression a little displeased.

How could a person in the harem get involved with the maids in his palace?In addition, Ma Guan's two distresses were related to the harem, so when Tong Jiashi mentioned it, he became a little more vigilant.

"The emperor misunderstood. I just heard that the snacks she made are very delicious. I also want to make snacks for the emperor, so I want to invite her..." Tong Jia didn't realize it, but was interrupted by Kangxi.

"You are a concubine, and she is a court lady, each performing their own duties, how do you compare with her?"

Tong Jiashi finally realized Kangxi's displeasure, and the anger in his heart surged up again. Why did the emperor speak for that court lady?

But she didn't dare to get angry with the emperor, so she had to act coquettishly and said: "The emperor misunderstood, how can I compare with her? I just think she is very good at making dim sum. The emperor loves me, can I ask her to give it to me tomorrow?" Make a plate of dim sum? I want to try it too."

Kangxi's face paled, and he replied: "It's just a plate of snacks, let your maid come and pick it up tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward. Your Majesty really loves this concubine." Tong Jia acted softly, with a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes: "My concubine sees that the emperor treats Ma Yu differently. Why don't you include her in the harem? When the time comes, I will be with Ma. Sister Guan will be able to serve the emperor together."
