Chapter 24 Jade Concubine

Kangxi issued four holy decrees in a row at noon the next day, which immediately caused an uproar in the palace.

In the Secluded Pavilion

Shu Wan didn't react after the little eunuchs who waited for the decree to leave without a trace, originally thought that Kangxi could give her a noble position this time, but she didn't expect to directly cross the two levels and become a concubine, and also gave her a "jade" word as a title, jade, natural aura, the beauty of stone, I have to say that Shu Wan is very satisfied with this title.

"Congratulations Niangniang, congratulations Niangniang." Zhiqiu Zhixing and the two smiled, after all, one is prosperous, and one is lost, only their own masters are good, and they can be good as slaves, and the secluded pavilion is full of joy.

"Reward, every slave in the Youyou Pavilion will be rewarded with a year's worth of money." Shu Wanyu waved her hand, and Kangxi also sent a lot of rewards this time, so she would not be stingy with this money.

"Xie Niangniang."

After everyone stepped back, Shu Wan asked Xiaodouzi to inquire about who else was promoted this time, and what their respective positions were.

"Back to Niangniang, Wu Ya in the apse of Chengqian Palace promised to be a noble person now, Wen Changzai of Xianfu Palace is a noble person now, and Guo Changzai of Yikun Palace is now a noble Guo noble."

It turned out that Kangxi actually promoted four concubines at once this time, and all four of them were pregnant palace concubines, with these examples of them in front, presumably the women in the harem must be even more crazy about conceiving children.

The most eye-catching among the promotions this time is the noble Wu Yashi, although the development of the previous events deviated from the trajectory of historical development, but Wu Yashi still successfully moved into the Chengqian Palace and became a noble person, which made Shu Wan once again sigh the strength of historical inertia.

After hearing the news, Shu Wan hurriedly asked people to prepare a congratulatory gift, Kangxi's approach was to invisibly deny the previous rumor that she was an ominous person, since she is now re-entered the sight of everyone, then these etiquette things must be done well, and they cannot be criticized because of these things.

Zhongcui Palace

Concubine Rou was pruning the flower branches, and suddenly heard the news of the emperor's promotion, and after inquiring carefully, she almost fainted.

"Mother, are you alright?" The begonia on the side hurriedly brought a cushion for Rou Concubine to lean on.

"It's okay, it's okay." This time, Concubine Rou's face showed a rare nervous emotion, the hand holding Begonia's arm trembled uncontrollably, and her heart was also panicked.

I didn't expect that Wu Ya clan really became a noble person, did everything have to come according to the destined? Concubine Rou tried desperately to calm herself down, she couldn't panic, she must not panic.

After self-construction in her heart, Concubine Rou finally calmed down and rubbed the jade bracelet in her hand, since Wu Ya's family has become a noble person, this matter can no longer be changed, then she must find a way to prevent Wu Ya's family from continuing to be promoted, and the top priority is how to "snatch" Wu Ya's family back from Chengqian Palace.

Rou Concubine stabilized her mind, and suddenly thought about it again, it seems that Ma Jia Shu Wan was also named "Jade Concubine" in this promotion, although the title is not the "Rong" mentioned in the dream, but when she thought that Ma Changzai, who was originally going to salute her, turned out to be a jade concubine, Rou Concubine's heart was even more panicked, and thinking that Shu Wan still had one in her stomach now, her heart was even more uncomfortable.

Wu Yashi, Ma Jia Shu Wan, and Rou Concubine chanted these two names in her heart, and suddenly let out a chuckle, as if she had thought of some idea, so she beckoned Begonia to come over, and after a few words of soft command, she continued to prune the flower branches, but she hummed a little song while cutting it, and she seemed to be in a much better mood.

Chengqian Palace

Tong Jiashi is throwing all kinds of porcelain in the palace like crazy again, why, why didn't the emperor give her a promotion?

Since entering the palace, Tong Jia's goal is to be the queen, originally thought that it would be her turn after the death of the queen mother, but I didn't expect the queen mother to suddenly step in and finally choose Niu Co Lu as the successor, but fortunately, Niu Co Lu is a sick seedling, and she has only been the queen for one year and will return to heaven.

finally survived the two queens, Concubine Tong was full of hope and wanted the emperor to make her queen, but why hadn't it been her turn yet? At this time, Tong Jiashi is no longer the gentle and virtuous Concubine Tong in the past, but like a madman with obsessions.

Tong Jia's grandmother Tong was also shocked when she saw this scene, fortunately there was no one else in the house, otherwise if outsiders saw the appearance of the master, the image that had been built up with great luck before would be ruined.

"Niangniang is angry, the emperor didn't promote Niangniang this time because he took into account the fact that Queen Niu Colu had just died, and even if the emperor didn't give Niangniang a promotion this time, there would still be a chance later, Niangniang, you must be patient."

Mama Tong sighed helplessly, it is less than a year before the death of Empress Xiao Zhaoren, if the emperor makes Niangniang the queen now, then she must not be scolded to death by the world, why does Niangniang even forget such a simple truth?

"Patience! Patience! Where did Hongu get so much patience! The emperor waited three years to let Niu Colu become the queen, did Mama let the palace wait for three years? Besides, even if the emperor can't crown the palace as the queen, then why not seal the palace as the imperial concubine? Could it be that this palace really can't afford a big position in the eyes of the emperor? ”

Concubine Tong saw that the porcelain around her had been smashed by her, but the anger in her heart had not yet been vented, so she went up directly and overturned the table in the middle.

"Niangniang is too careful, looking at this harem, there is no more noble than you, Niangniang, I think the emperor also has the emperor's hardships." Mama Tong's eyelids trembled with fright, why did she think that her master was more irritable than before.

Hearing this, Concubine Tong seemed to have thought of something, and the momentum on her body suddenly decreased by more than half, standing there panting heavily, originally wanting to pour a cup of tea, but when she turned around, she found that the teapot and bowl had been broken by her.

Glancing around impatiently, "What about Mama Xu, don't you tell her to come in and serve quickly, I really don't know what the palace wants you idlers to do!" ”

Hongyi on the side moved a chair with a very eye-catching look, and after Tong Guifei sat down, the muscles on her face twitched one by one, as if she was trying her best to restrain herself.

"Yes, the old slave obeys." Mama Tong quickly retreated, and a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes.

In fact, Mama Xu is not the coat of the Tong family, and even Mama Tong, who has served in the Tong family all her life, doesn't know who she is.

Mama Xu behaves strangely on weekdays, but she does have some ability, since Mama Xu came, the emperor has come to Chengqian Palace more times than before, and there are many things that Mama Xu is behind her back to give advice to Concubine Tong, it can be said that Tong Jia's family has come all the way to today, and Mama Xu behind her has made great contributions.

"I don't know what happened to the imperial concubine Niangniang calling the old slave?" Mama Xu looks like an old witch, with gray hair, a rickety face full of wrinkles, and a low and hoarse voice, like a chicken pinched by the throat.

At this time, there are only two people in the house, Mama Xu and the imperial concubine, which is also one of the rules that the servants of the Chengqian Palace must abide by, as long as Mama Xu wants to discuss matters with the imperial concubine, no one can be left in the house, even if she sees the imperial concubine Mama Xu, she does not kneel, but stands there stunned.

"Mamma, do you remember what she promised to this palace?" Concubine Tong raised her chin and looked at Mama Xu as if she was going to shave Mama Xu alive.

A small jade bottle appeared out of thin air in Mama Xu's hand, "But that's what Niangniang said?" ”

Tong Jiashi hurriedly reached out to grab it, but was dodged by Mama Xu, and put the jade bottle into her sleeve, "Don't worry, Niangniang, it seems that Niangniang hasn't fulfilled her original promise." ”

"Nonsense, didn't you already get those white snakes?" Concubine Tong waved her sleeves and said angrily: "In order to catch those white snakes for you, our Tong family lost a lot of people, but this palace has not seen the reward you promised so far!" ”

"Niangniang is suspicious of the minion?" Mama Xu looked at Concubine Tong with two godless eyes, "Don't forget, Niangniang, it was all the white snakes that Niangniang promised the slaves, and now there is still one missing." Mama Xu stretched out a finger and shook it in front of the imperial concubine, "No one is missing, do you understand?" ”

"Hmph, this palace is not a fool, I won't listen to your rhetoric anymore, if you want that snake, then you can find it yourself."

When Mama Xu heard this, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed Tong Jia's neck, and white scales slowly grew on her hands and neck.

"You, what do you want to do, release this palace quickly." Tong Jiashi didn't expect that Mama Xu, who usually seems weak, would have such great strength.

"If the mother doesn't want to keep her promise, then don't blame the slave for being ruthless."

At this time, Concubine Tong was like a fish jumping ashore, constantly slapping the arm that grabbed her neck with her hand, "You, you are just a minion, you dare to treat this palace like this, this palace wants to send you to the Shen Criminal Division!" ”

"Hahaha, Detective Division! Niangniang, just try it, see if it's the Shen Penal Division or my Xu (Xu) Li is powerful! Mama Xu pinched Concubine Tong harder, and Concubine Tong couldn't make a sound at all.

Seeing that Concubine Tong had already begun to roll her eyes, Mama Xu let go of Concubine Tong with a loose hand.

Feeling the confinement on her neck disappear, Tong Guifei suddenly collapsed to the ground and kept panting, recalling the feeling of dying just now, Tong Guifei's whole body continued to tremble, and at this time, she looked at Mama Xu with a little more fear.

Swallowing her saliva, Concubine Tong didn't dare to look directly at Mama Xu anymore, "Mama don't worry, this palace will definitely find the remaining white snake." ”

"Well, that's very good, then the old slave will be relieved." Mama Xu glanced at Concubine Tong condescendingly, and went out without even bowing, pushing the door.

The moment the door was closed, Tong Jiashi suddenly raised his head and stared fiercely at the direction where Mama Xu left...
