Chapter Eighty-Seven: Promotion

Shu Wan knew that I was afraid that Kangxi had already found out the truth of the matter, so today's behavior was so abnormal.

The current Kangxi is like a wounded little beast, all she can do is to give him warmth and make him feel at ease.

But she also knows that Kangxi can't take the Empress Dowager like that, after all, she is a dignified Empress Dowager, not only a high and powerful position, but also Kangxi's pro-imperial grandmother, who has the grace of nurturing and teaching him, and now Kangxi advocates 'filial piety', no matter how uncomfortable and unhappy he is, he will not get it to the surface, in the eyes of the world, they are still happy grandchildren.

It was precisely because she knew this that she didn't think that Kangxi would give her a real justice, what she wanted was to expose this matter and let Kangxi know what the true face of the imperial grandmother he respected was.

That night, Kangxi hugged her and chattered a lot of things, mostly some interesting things when he was a child, from Kangxi's narration, Shu Wan could hear that Kangxi still had a lot of respect for her as the imperial grandmother, at least in Kangxi's narration, the Empress Dowager has always been gentle and loving.

Shu Wan rolled her eyes slightly, the Queen Mother is really the best of the plays, she is really good at acting!

Early the next morning, Kangxi's mood had calmed down, and he had returned to the angry emperor.

Above the court, several ministers who had died proposed to put Shu Wan, a disaster star, to death.

Kangxi smiled coldly and threw the fold to the ground, this cold reaction couldn't help but surprise everyone in the court.

"Since Master Li is so fond of putting people to death, why don't you taste it yourself?"

Before everyone could react, some guards stepped forward and dragged people down, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what the emperor meant.

Kangxi glanced at everyone in the court, "I have found out the original situation of the matter, and I have already made a decision on how to deal with me, who of you Aiqing still wants to discuss this matter?" ”

As soon as these words come out, who dares to disagree? Everyone knelt down one after another, "The emperor is wise, and the ministers obey the emperor's will." ”

After the next dynasty, Kangxi announced the results of the handling of the matter, the five minions were all drunk and fell into the well and died, and they had nothing to do with others, and the palace was not allowed to spread any news that was not conducive to Youyouge and Shu Wan, once discovered, no matter who they were, they would be executed.

Just when this will was conveyed to the Sixth Palace, everyone was still secretly speculating, could it be that the deaths of those minions really had nothing to do with the Youyou Pavilion? An even more sensational decree was immediately announced.

Yanxi Palace

Hui Concubine was humming a little song and watering the flowers, and the personal palace maid beside her walked in in a hurry, waved her hand and drove all the minions in the hall out, and whispered a few words in Hui Concubine's ear, Hui Concubine's face changed instantly, and the kettle in her hand didn't know when it fell to the ground.

"What you said is true?"

Concubine Hui looked at the palace maid with an incredulous expression, the emperor actually wanted to make Concubine Yu a concubine, how could things be like this?

The palace maid nodded, "It's true, I heard that the will has been issued to the Ministry of Rites, and after a while, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites will go to the Youyou Pavilion with the holy decree to announce the decree." ”

Concubine Hui sat down on the couch, why! Why, exactly! Why can the jade concubine be the first to be named a concubine, in terms of qualifications, she is on par with the jade concubine, in terms of family background, she is slightly better than the jade concubine, in terms of heirs, where is her eldest brother not as good as the two little ones of the jade concubine!

In fact, in her heart, the jade concubine will definitely be a concubine in the future, but no matter what, she must be the head of the four concubines, why does the emperor give this honor to Ma Jia Shuwan, who is inferior to her everywhere?

The daffodil on the table, which had been carefully cared for, was suddenly pushed to the ground by her, and she was so unwilling that she could only vent it frantically by smashing the porcelain.

Compared with Yanxi Palace, the scene in Yikun Palace can only be described as miserable.

Concubine Yi seemed to be crazy, if it weren't for the palace maid and eunuch to stop her, she would have been able to tear down the door of Zhongcui Palace and smash it.

Like Concubine Hui's anger, Concubine Yi also couldn't figure out why the emperor wanted to be the first to be Concubine Yu.

Fortunately, Mama Guo on the side hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, "Niangniang, Niangniang, you must calm your anger, you are still pregnant with your little brother, you must think about your little brother!" ”

At the mention of the little brother, Yi Concubine immediately became honest, stomped her feet a few times angrily, and sat down steadily under the support of Mama Guo.

After sitting down, Mama Guo analyzed, "Don't be angry, this jade concubine Niangniang will not be promoted sooner or later, but she is suddenly promoted at this time, there must be something strange about this matter." ”

Yi Concubine glanced at Mama Guo suspiciously, "Could it be that Mama means... Is the promotion of the jade concubine related to the previous events? ”

Mama Guo showed a smile on her face and nodded, "That's right, does Niangniang know how to be promoted in this palace?" ”

"Where does this palace know," Yi Concubine shook her veil in annoyance, if she could know, she would have been a concubine a long time ago, and she was still so aggrieved.

"If the mother wants to hear it, the old slave has a humble opinion." Mama Guo also came out of the palace before, but unlike Mama Meng'e, Mama Guo was married, but after going through a lot of things, she returned to the palace and stayed by Concubine Yi's side to serve.

Mama Guo continued: "The position in this palace depends on the mother's family at the beginning, if the mother's family is prominent, then the position will naturally be higher after entering the palace.

Yi Concubine's mood has calmed down, nodded, and Mama Guo continued: "But this is not necessarily true, I don't believe Niangniang, you look at the Wu Ya clan, in a short period of time, she has been promoted from a small palace maid to a nobleman, so this promotion is inseparable from the emperor's favor and heirs." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Yi Concubine frowned a little impatiently, and pulled the handkerchief in her hand, of course she knew what Mama Guo said, pampering and heirs were not important to the woman in the palace, wasn't this just nonsense?

Guo Mama was also calm, and smiled slightly, "Yu Concubine Niangniang now has two little elder brothers under her knees, those are two precious little elder brothers, not to mention that Jade Concubine Niangniang's brother and cousin are both earning military exploits in the southern battlefield, Jade Concubine Niangniang was framed before, and now even if it is to appease the Ma Jia clan, the emperor has to promote Yu Concubine as a concubine, what else can't Niangniang think of?" ”

"But..."A strong jealousy appeared in Yi Concubine's eyes, and she said unwillingly: "Then why didn't the emperor seal the concubine, but the concubine?" ”

"Niangniang, have you forgotten the incident in the Xiangshan Palace last year?" Mama Guo lowered her voice on the side and reminded: "The emperor has a scale in his heart for these things." ”

Yi Concubine's pupils contracted instantly, and she remembered that in the Xiangshan Palace last year, the eldest brother almost drowned the sixth elder brother by mistake, but later the emperor did not punish the eldest brother heavily, and she laughed at Shu Wan for a while as a joke.

Clenching the handkerchief in her hand, Concubine Yi looked at Mama Guo, "Mama, then what do you say this palace should do now?" ”

Mama Guo glanced at the mess around her, "In the future, Niangniang must not be as willful as today, otherwise if the emperor knows, maybe you will feel that Niangniang is narrow-minded and jealous of the palace concubine." ”

"Yes, yes, this palace knows."

Yi Concubine nodded, looking at the mess in the room, and felt that her behavior just now was too impulsive.

Mama Guo then asked: "Now that the jade concubine is about to be promoted to a concubine, she should naturally have fun with the little masters, should the slave and maid send a congratulatory gift?" ”

"This is naturally as it should be," Yi Concubine held Mama Guo's hand and said approvingly: "Mama Guo, you go to the library to pick up a few good things for Yu Concubine, no, Yu Fei Niangniang personally sent them." ”

Mama Guo narrowed her eyes and lowered her head, "Yes, the old slave obeys the order." ”

As for the long-dormant Chengqian Palace, it is still deserted, and it seems that the matter of Shu Wan's promotion to the throne has not been transmitted here.

Now the person in charge of the size of the Chengqian Palace is Mama Meng'e, and after Mama Meng'e heard the news, she clapped her hands in annoyance.

After covering up the chagrin on her face, Mama Meng summoned the palace maids who were close to Concubine Tong, "Niangniang is thinking about it now, don't tell Niangniang about this jade concubine's promotion." ”

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, after all, the master they serve is Concubine Tong, not Mama Meng'e, and the promotion of this palace concubine should logically be told to the master.

After a stalemate for a while, the leader Hongyi nodded, and only a few people dared to deal with the matter.

Today's Concubine Tong is like a walking corpse, and the lochia under her body flowed intermittently for more than two months before it stopped, but the imperial doctor also said that she was fundamentally injured this time, and it would be difficult to get pregnant again in the future.

At that time, after Concubine Tong learned the news, she cried to death directly, and when she woke up, her voice was completely hoarse, and the doctor's words were undoubtedly to open her wound and then cut it a few times hard.

The birth that night has always been a pain in her heart that can never be erased, and now she can't give birth, so how can she gain a foothold in the palace in the future?

Concubine Tong has fallen into such a deep despair these days, relying only on the medicine of the imperial doctor and half a bowl of porridge every day, the whole person is haggard and unlikely, even if she is persuaded by Mama E several times, it is in vain.

As usual, it was time for Concubine Tong to take medicine, and Hong Yi walked into Concubine Tong's bedroom with the medicine, and the bedroom was full of curtains, which were full of scriptures copied by Concubine Tong for her dead child that night.

Lifting the layers of curtains, Hongyi finally walked to Tong Guifei's bed, only to see Tong Guifei wearing a white obscene dress, her hair was scattered and not combed, kneeling on the ground and copying scriptures with cinnabar for the deceased little brother.

Hong Yi sighed in her heart and held the tray in front of Concubine Tong, "Niangniang, it's time to take medicine." ”
