Chapter 46: Concubine Hui holds a grudge
At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Kangxi was in a very comfortable mood, asked Jing Yu to play a piano piece on the spot, and praised her in public for earning back face for the Qing Dynasty as a reward, and asked her what reward she wanted.
Jing Yu had already thought about it, and hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down on the spot to receive the decree of thanks, and said, "The concubine just wants to ask for a reward for the concubine." ”
Not only Kangxi, but even the concubines sitting below, including the Queen Mother, also showed puzzlement, the emperor rewarded her with an important festival banquet such as the Mid-Autumn Festival, which gave her full face, it can be seen how happy the emperor is this time, even if she asks for a garden in the palace, the emperor is bound to agree, but why not reward herself, but for Concubine Tong?
Tong Jiashi was quite surprised, to be honest, over the years, her attitude towards Concubine De has always been unclear, she is Yinzhen's mother, she is very afraid of waiting until Yinzhen grows up to be bewitched by her influence, and miss her future, so she has never been lukewarm to her, let alone extra care, and now she is actually rewarding her in public, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
There was no sound on the spot, and they were all calmly listening to what Jing Yu said.
"Back to the emperor, the life of the slave and maid is not good, all these years are either calamity or difficulty, it is thanks to the emperor's blessings, so that he has survived until now, and now he has a position, the concubine has nothing else to ask for, but the heart is that he owes Yinzhen too much. The concubine has been carefully raised over the years, and she treats him closer than the concubine, and she has always had the heart to repay him, but she has no chance. Now the slave maid just wants to ask for a position for the concubine Niangniang, in order to repay her for raising Yinzhen, and Niangniang has been in charge of the queen for so many years, and she has done her best to raise the prince, and everyone is watching, with the prestige of Niangniang's harem, it is also well deserved! ”
Saying this, Kangxi frowned and pondered.
Tong Jiashi didn't expect Concubine De to say this, her face was nervous and excited, but she was really looking forward to it.
Jing Yu moved his gaze to her, and when he saw that she was full of gratitude and couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes, he was relieved.
If not, why did she spend so much brainpower, pick up the piano skills that she had put down for a long time, and stay up all night to practice?
She is now favored, and she has just been reinstated, how can she be content, it is not a good thing to be in the limelight again in such a straight rise situation.
Not to mention anything else, just Yi Concubine is going to run into the vinegar jar, and she will eat her when she looks at her, not to mention those promises that have not been favored for a long time are always there, and they are even more eyeing her.
What she wanted was to have a chance to ask for a reward in front of the emperor and everyone, to ask for a big reward for Tong Jia's family, and let her accept a favor.
As for what award she values the most, of course, it is position.
Even if she herself is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, her mother's family will not care about this.
She has been sitting in the position of the concubine for many years and has not been crowned queen, but if she can be crowned as the imperial concubine, it will also be a legitimate deputy queen, and the difference is thousands of miles away.
She asked for this reward for her, how could Tong Jiashi not be grateful? Tong Jia's mother's family mentioned this matter, will they tell her to treat Yinzhen well?
People's hearts are flesh and blood, Jing Yu asked himself if no one could fight anyone, because it all depended on fate. But sometimes, when a big favor is thrown out, who will reach out and hit the smiling person?
Kangxi looked at the Empress Dowager, Xiaozhuang had nothing to say, don't say that she is the imperial concubine, even if she is the queen, it is okay, but she single-handedly chose the helmsman of the harem.
It's just that the emperor had a bad heart at the beginning and didn't want to give her too high a position.
Now it's just Kangxi nodding, it's okay to seal anything.
Seeing the permission of the emperor's grandmother, Kangxi thought about it for a while, and then said: "Since Concubine De asked for the seal for you, you will have a good life to raise the fourth elder brother in the future, and you will serve the Qing Dynasty in the future." As for the matter of Jin Feng, you have both virtue and prestige, so choose an auspicious day to carry out the canonization ceremony! ”
"Concubine Xie Emperor! Empress Dowager Xie! Tong Jiashi hurriedly got up and bowed down.
All the concubines also got up, knelt down in unison and said: "Congratulations to the concubine Niangniang, the concubine Niangniang Chitose Jin'an!" ”
Tong Jiashi smiled and nodded, accepting the congratulations of the sisters, and when his eyes swept to Jing Yu, there was a lot of reassurance in his eyes.
The weather was fine that day, Jing Yu went to talk to Wan Liuha, and only after going did he know that Wan Liuha had just gone to the Imperial Garden.
Jing Yu had nothing to do, and walked slowly to the Imperial Garden to find her.
When I arrived at the garden, I saw her sitting diagonally on the marble pillar by the pool, holding some small pieces of fish food in her hand and throwing it into the pool, and the fish in the pool were gathered into a pile, sometimes grabbing food and sometimes jumping.
She stepped forward and said, "My sister is so Yaxing!" ”
Seeing that it was her, Wan Liuhashi smiled into a crescent moon and said, "You're here!" So he came down and walked with her to the Fubi Pavilion on the side.
Located in the northeast of the Imperial Garden, due north is facing the north wall of the garden, across the pond, where you can recline against the railing, and you can see swimming fish shuttling between aquatic plants in the water.
Now the weather is clear and clear, it is the time when autumn is cool and cool, Jing Yu looks at Jingshan in the distance, and there are already leaves that are orange and red.
"That's ......" Jing Yu saw from a distance a woman dressed in lake-green shoulders bent deeply, rummaging for something in the green space by the pool.
"That's a noble person who was specially canonized by the emperor a few days ago." Wan Liuha shook his head and said, "She was already there when I came. ”
As he was talking, he saw that Hui Concubine, who was dressed in a bright red brocade satin robe, also came, walked to Mu Hibiscus and stood still, and scolded: "How many have you found?" ”
Mu Hibiscus hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Hui Niangniang, it is already autumn, and wild berry fruits are rare, and the slave maid has only found a few now." ”
"It's hard to find, it's not that you can't find it! The eldest brother has a bad appetite these days, so he pointed to the bubble berry wine to recuperate, and now the big girl in the palace has returned to her hometown in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and only you are a credible person in the palace, if you are not willing to serve the palace, it will not be difficult for you! Hui Concubine scolded angrily.
"Mother's anger! The slave and the maid don't mean that, the slave and the maid will definitely find it, and the slave and the maid will go to find it! Hibiscus nodded vigorously, clenched the cloth bag in his hand, and hunched over in the wet and muddy waterside grass again.
Hui Concubine glanced at the maid beside her, and the maid stepped forward and kicked Hibiscus in the back, kicking her into the pool at once.
Hibiscus screamed in surprise and flipped and tossed in the pool.
Hui Concubine said: "This palace can't swim in the water, wait for this palace to find someone to save you immediately, hold on first!" With that, he turned and walked away.
Jing Yu wanted to go to save people, Wan Liuha hurriedly called her and asked her to take a look at the guards over there, Jing Yu found that there were several guards not far from where the hibiscus fell into the water, but they looked at what Hui Concubine just said and the scene that happened, and they pretended not to see it and didn't want to intervene to save people.
"They don't want to meddle in this idle matter, because they are afraid of interfering rashly and offending Hui Concubine, why should my sister hit the muzzle of the gun?" Wan Liuha said: "Besides, neither of you and I can swim in the water, have you forgotten the last time you fell into the water?" ”
Jing Yu took Wan Liuha's hand and said, "Sister, don't worry, I have my own way." So saying, he walked briskly over there.
