Chapter 333: Speculation
Wu Xiuning's successful birth on the first day of the Lunar New Year was like a good start to the New Year, which not only made the Queen Mother and the Emperor remember her, but also eased the atmosphere of the entire Forbidden City a lot because of her.
There were too many things that happened last year, not mentioning the second abolished prince, just saying that after the second abolished prince, even if it didn't make Kangxi anxious, it also made him very distressed, after all, they were all sons, and he couldn't do anything to ask for his son's life no matter how much he didn't like it, so he could only endure it, and he couldn't help it, so he would reprimand.
Reprimand does not solve the fundamental problem, the position of the prince involves the hearts of too many people, and Kangxi himself was heartbroken by the deposed prince, and he was disappointed because of the fight of his other sons, but in order to balance the situation, he had to take action to appease the inside and outside of the court, and even shock everyone, in order to remind everyone that he was the emperor and the king of a country.
Because of this, there is a sense of tension in the entire Forbidden City from top to bottom, and now that Wu Xiuning has given birth, this situation has been broken, no matter whether everyone thinks about it or not, they actually feel relieved.
In the palace, after Kangxi sealed the pen, although some things still cannot be avoided and need him to deal with them, but it is much easier than usual, at least Kangxi is now in the mood to go around the harem.
Concubine Yi and Concubine De are rivals, there is no hatred between the two, at first it was just unpleasant, and then it developed to the point that water and fire are incompatible.
Concubine Yi is a typical noble girl of the Eight Banners, she looks good, has a good family background, and although she has suffered a lot of losses in the past few years in the palace, everyone has the same starting point, and she has no grievances. But Concubine De is different, she was born in Baoyi, her appearance is only middle-class, and her means are not clean, if she is just a nobleman or a concubine, maybe everyone is just a few sour words, but when she reaches the concubine position, it is a little too much.
Kangxi's order was not disobeyed, but there were not many people in the harem who really recognized Concubine De in their hearts, and the ones who could really take the position of Concubine De were those palace women with the same background as Concubine De, after all, Concubine De gave them a good start and let them know that palace women can be concubines.
"Since it is the New Year, the emperor should take advantage of this time to rest and rest, compared to before, the emperor has really lost a lot of weight. "Concubine Yi is indeed acting in a hurry, but no matter how refreshing a woman is, she also has a gentle side in front of her beloved man, and it is obvious that Concubine Yi has a good grasp of this.
Kangxi took a sip of hot tea with a teacup, and came from the Qianqing Palace, regardless of whether he was walking or sitting, this weather was all sinful, and if he didn't drink hot tea, his body was stiff, "My body is fine, and I am happy in my heart." ”
He didn't say it too clearly, but Concubine Yi knew the meaning when she heard it, and the matter of Prince Yong's Mansion Tianding was known inside and outside the palace, although there were some regrets that it was not his son who took the lead, but it was good to ease the atmosphere.
"The fourth child is a good one, filial piety and etiquette, but his temperament is a little stuffy, but he is calm enough, unlike Yinyu, who is not worrying, and now he entered the palace, saying that he came to ask for peace for his concubines, but he actually came to sue. With a smile on the corner of her mouth, Concubine Yi pushed the dim sum in front of her to Kangxi, there is no interest involved, and she is willing to sell Yinzhen.
She and Concubine De are rivals, they have been fighting for so many years, they thought that they would not be able to win or lose until the end, but they didn't want Concubine De to be more capable than she imagined, and they thought that they could do whatever they wanted when they became concubines, but unfortunately, this vision is too narrow after all. She thought that she was the fourth child's mother and could handle the fourth child for a lifetime, but she forgot that the fourth child was her son, but it was also the emperor's bloodline, in front of the emperor, what was she, after all, the emperor didn't dare to ask for his son's life, she was more ruthless every time.
is such a stupid person, she has been fighting for half her life and has not knocked people down...... The more Concubine Yi thought about it, the more she couldn't believe it, fortunately, no one in this palace was blind, and the emperor didn't want to indulge her for the rest of her life, and she couldn't even look at the sky.
Of course, this death is a bit serious, but for the women of the harem, no favor and no reputation means no future, and now Concubine De is like this, there is an empty concubine, but there is no concubine can bring all the benefits that the concubine can bring.
"Sue what?" Kangxi couldn't help but be interested when he heard Concubine Yi's words.
"What else can I sue, it's nothing more than a quarrel with the eighth, who had made a lot of trouble before and wanted to accompany the eighth, but now I don't know what the trouble is, and I don't want to follow the eighth, saying that I want to do business wholeheartedly. Concubine Yi said in her mouth, but her eyes unconsciously looked at Kangxi's expression, and when she saw that he was not angry, she continued: "The concubines are afraid of him now, they are all Ama people, and they are still like children, wind and rain for a while." ”
Kangxi listened to these words, but he had other thoughts in his heart, the eighth child is his son, he must be distressed, but his heart is too big, and what he does seems to be beautiful, but in fact, it is like an attic in the sky and he doesn't know it. Whether it is as an emperor or Amma, it is impossible for him to choose him as the prince, it is one thing for him to have a low background, and it is another thing for him to be inright.
He has so many sons, only he has a good name and cowardice, low self-esteem and conceit, all say that those who become big things are not informal, if he has the ability to shock the people below, it is fine, in fact, he has always been generous to others, and he has not considered how he can keep these people without these benefits, do you really think that sitting in the position of the emperor can reverse the overall situation.
No, no, if he could really turn the situation around when he became the emperor, he would not have struggled in front of Ao Bai and others.
"Your Majesty. Seeing that Kangxi was silent for a long time, Concubine Yi couldn't help but raise her head and call softly.
Kangxi came back to his senses, and his eyes fell on Concubine Yi, "The so-called Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, the sons are older, they all have their own thoughts, what they want to do and what they don't want to do are up to them, and I don't interfere." ”
Concubine Yi's eyes flashed slightly, but the corners of her lips kept saying with a smile: "What the emperor said is that it is not up to his mother here, and he has to suffer himself to understand Ama Eniang's hard work for him." ”
Kangxi smiled, and when he stretched out his hand, he gently patted the back of Concubine Yi's hand twice and said, "What Concubine Ai said is that I will rest in Yikun Palace when I am free today." ”
"Long live you. Concubine Yi got up and saluted with joy on her face, and when she saw Kangxi reaching out to help her, she smiled even more coquettishly.
Even if Concubine Yi is favored, but the age is here, and the favor she gets is becoming scarcer, Kangxi has called more young and low-level concubines in recent years, and old people like Concubine Yi are at most to come and sit, have a cup of tea and have a meal and chat, not to mention the number of stays, but they are also very limited, and now Kangxi has taken the initiative to stay overnight, no matter what the reason, at least she has the face of her favorite concubine.
The palace saw Kangxi staying in Yikun Palace, but he didn't feel surprised, after all, it doesn't matter if the head of this palace is Tong Guifei or the fourth concubine, or even the concubines, Kangxi is all face-saving, even if he rarely stays overnight, it is fair when turning the green head card, and the newcomers in each palace have it, and it can be regarded as the face of the palace masters. After all, no matter how high the position is, it is not better than the emperor's favor, otherwise how can there be so many queens who are not good in the past, speaking of which, after all, only the emperor is the face of the emperor in this palace.
However, when everyone heard that Kangxi was staying in Concubine Yi's main hall, they all showed surprised expressions, and it was obvious that they were all shocked. The emperor likes little girls like shallots, just looking at the fact that the concubines who have been turned over green are all newcomers, but he doesn't want to step into the harem for the first time in the New Year, but it is Concubine Yi who comes out on top, which is really ......
That's right, think about Concubine De back then, not to mention that the limelight was unparalleled in the world, but she really slapped the faces of all the noble girls with her own strength, even if she had a favored harem in a short period of time and even a good concubine who was outstanding, when it came to benefits, who could compare to Concubine De.
If it weren't for Concubine De, Concubine Yi would not be so easy to get benefits this time, after all, among the old concubines and concubines, Concubine De and Concubine Yi are the only ones who still maintain their favor, and the others are basically gone.
It's good now, Concubine De has made herself from the fourth concubine with infinite scenery all the way to the point where no one cares, but no one in the harem helps her intercede, which shows how unpopular Concubine De is in the harem.
At the beginning, Concubine De jumped from a clothed palace maid to more than many noble girls to become a concubine, and a slap made the harem concubines unable to return to their senses, and then others tried their best to get what they wanted to get to her, but she didn't cherish it at all, and slapped others in the face, no matter how kind such a person is on the surface, it is also extremely hypocritical in the eyes of others.
It's not that the concubines in the harem feel sorry for Yinzhen, but they can't get used to Concubine De's style, obviously they have exchanged their sons, but they put on a look of shame in the past, including where Yinzhen is, and then desperately suppress the son who was exchanged for benefits by her, which alone makes people look down on it.
Fortunately, God is still fair after all, although there is no good show that the wicked have their own wicked grinding, but God personally punishes the wicked than the wicked slowly grinding.
But now that Concubine De has fallen, Concubine Yi, who was not very eye-catching in the past, is much more conspicuous, and everyone can't guess what Long Live Ye thinks, but it is not difficult to see some of Long Live Lord's thoughts from Long Live Lord's attitude.
Originally, I thought that the most important thing for the emperor now is Prince Yong Yinzhen, but now it seems that the emperor does not care about the ninth elder brother Yinzhen at all, does this mean that the emperor has the intention to set up a new prince, and what is the new arrangement for these elder brothers?
Under many speculations, the New Year, which originally seemed a little deserted, slowly began to return to its previous liveliness, and the brothers who had begun to stop a little also began to move unconsciously, but the changes in it still need to be discovered slowly.
