Chapter 231: Please Calm the Storm

When the harem concubines heard that the queen was going to resume their invitations, their faces were not very good-looking. Among them, the most embarrassing is Concubine Niu Hulu, who was demoted to a nobleman. In the past, when she asked for peace, she could not bow her head in front of the Hesheri clan by virtue of her position, but now when facing Yun Yao, Niu Hulu's current position is indispensable to pay a big respect, how can this make Niu Hulu nobles willing?

If the resumption of the matter of asking for peace just made the harem concubines a little unhappy, then the next order from Yun Yao made everyone in the harem fry. Because Yun Yao actually ordered the concubines to pray for the Empress Dowager of Cining Palace together.

Praying for blessings is a simple thing, but the problem is that in ancient times, in the environment of ruling the world with filial piety, the requirements for the blessing of the elders were very strict, not only to be vegetarian during this period, but also to copy scriptures and so on. It can be said that the requirements for the younger generations during the prayer period are very strict, and it is not something that ordinary people can bear.

But no matter how angry the concubines are about this kind of thing, they don't dare to speak out against it.

In fact, if the empress dowager was forced to the palace, the harem concubines would not have such a big grievance when they encountered the matter of praying for the empress dowager.

After all, the Empress Dowager and the emperor were close at that time, if when praying for the Empress Dowager, the emperor could be more favored because of her filial piety, then everyone would definitely fight for the blessing.

But now, even if the Empress Dowager and the emperor are still very harmonious on the surface, the person in the palace will not know that the Empress Dowager has almost torn her face with the emperor now.

Even if the Empress Dowager used to say the same thing in the harem, but now it is not the past, the emperor is full of wings, and he is no longer a thing in the pool, but the Empress Dowager is getting older, after being held by the emperor, the Empress Dowager will take refuge in Cining Palace, and everyone in the harem knows that the Empress Dowager cannot turn over again, so that no one in the harem will dare to contact her again, so as not to be angry with Kangxi.

Originally, as soon as Yun Yao finished her confinement, she ran to Cining Palace to fulfill her filial piety, and the people in the harem laughed at it, thinking that Yun Yao was really stupid to run to hug the empress dowager's already angry golden thigh.

Of course, it is not that there are no smart people, and they know that Yun Yao is likely to do this because of the emperor's intentions, but most people are not so shrewd, and they are gloating behind their backs.

And Yun Yao's order was thought to be that she wanted to cause trouble, and when she found out that she had done something wrong, she simply dragged everyone in the harem into the water. So for a while, many people in the harem gritted their teeth at Yun Yao.

Of course, there are also people who can see clearly, knowing Yun Yao's order this time, the emperor must know, after all, the queen is not stupid, how could she die like this!

Even if everyone is full of resentment in their hearts, in the harem, Yun Yao is the master of the harem, so no matter how unhappy everyone is, they have to happily obey the order on their faces.

So on the second day, when the concubines in the palace went to Kunning Palace to ask for peace, Yun Yao was late, and she saw the resentment on the faces of these concubines that could hardly be concealed.

However, one of them stands out from the crowd, that is, Niu Hulu, a noble man who stands at the forefront. There was a hint of joy on her face, and she seemed very happy that she was about to pray for the Empress Dowager. Yun Yao suddenly became wary of it.

Niu Hulu is the daughter of Kubilong, even if Kangxi has demoted her to a nobleman, Yun Yao can't treat her as a little nobleman, after all, the harem still looks at the family background! Therefore, under Yun Yao, the concubines are still headed by Niu Hulu.

Yun Yao said to the noble Niu Hulu at the front: "I think all the sisters of the palace know yesterday's order, the noble person has been close to the Empress Dowager, I wonder if the noble person has figured out how to pray for the Empress Dowager?" ”

Regarding Yun Yao's words, the nobleman Niu Hulu was suddenly a little moved, but she also knew how to hide her emotions, and asked rhetorically: "The concubine prays for the queen mother, naturally she doesn't dare to cross the queen mother, I don't know how the queen mother wants to arrange?" ”

Yun Yao smiled when he heard this: "Since the noble man said so, then the palace is not welcome, and the palace is still worried about what other arrangements the noble person Niu Hulu has!" ”

And Niu Hulu was angry with Yun Yao's words all of a sudden, she was just polite, how could she have expected that Yun Yao would not answer her words, and directly talk to herself!

Niu Hulu's noble face turned red with anger, and the other concubines also bowed their heads and snickered when they saw this situation, but Niu Hulu nobles have been accumulating prestige for a long time, and everyone saw that Niu Hulu's nobles looked at them like needles, and glared at them fiercely, and all the concubines turned into quails when they saw this.

Yun Yao didn't seem to see the undercurrent of the waves underground, and continued: "This time, the Empress Dowager is seriously ill, and it stands to reason that she needs to go to serve the sick, but the Empress Dowager also said that the Empress Dowager needs to recuperate, so there should not be too many people going to Cining Palace, so as not to disturb the Empress Dowager's recuperation." And the rest of them prayed for the Empress Dowager in their own palace and copied scriptures. ”

When the nobleman Niu Hulu heard this, he immediately said: "Queen Mother, the concubine is willing to serve the Empress Dowager!" ”

As soon as Niu Hulu's words fell, the people in the entire hall looked at Niu Hulu with strange eyes, Yun Yao was strange that he had a life-and-death feud with the Empress Dowager, why did this Niu Hulu nobleman still move forward.

And others simply felt that Niu Hulu nobles had done so much for the Empress Dowager, and it was impossible to say that the relationship between the emperor and the Empress Dowager had eased, so Niu Hulu nobles took this opportunity to take the opportunity to cling to the Empress Dowager, with such suspicions, a few concubines who thought they were smart also hurriedly stepped forward to ask for their lives.

One of them was Yun Yao's acquaintance, and she said to Yun Yao with a flattering look on her face: "The queen mother is graceful, and the concubines are also willing to serve the queen mother, and the queen mother also knows that the concubines came from Shengjing before entering the palace, and it must be faster to hear the familiar local accent of the queen mother." ”

Yun Yao couldn't help but be a little stunned when she looked at Guo Luoluo Biyu who was standing down, this Guo Luoluo Biyu and the draft had changed a lot, so Yun Yao didn't recognize it at all when these concubines asked for peace, if it weren't for Guo Luoluo Biyu's voice didn't change much, Yun Yao didn't know who was standing in front of her!

Yun Yao said abruptly: "It turned out to be Concubine Guo Luoluo, this palace almost didn't recognize it!" ”

Guo Luoluo Biyu almost tore the handkerchief in her hand when she heard the words, and said with a reluctant smile: "The queen mother is a noble person who forgets things, and the concubine is not remembered by you!" ”

When Yun Yao heard this, she felt that Guo Luoluo Jasper's nature had not changed, otherwise why hadn't she learned to speak well?

Then Yun Yao said again: "Concubine Guo Luoluo laughed, if it weren't for the palace hearing your voice, I would have thought that Concubine Guo Luoluo who entered the palace had changed someone!" ”

The concubines who were drafted with Guo Luoluo Biyu and Yun Yao also looked at Guo Luoluo Biyu's face when they heard this, and immediately felt that what Yun Yao said was not bad at all.

One of the concubines was probably trying to please Yun Yao, and agreed on the side: "What the queen said is right, the concubine and Guo Luoluo's sister were drafted together, and they didn't recognize Guo Luoluo's sister when they met just now, so it can be seen that Guo Luoluo's sister has really changed a lot!" ”

Originally, Guo Luoluo Biyu was secretly angry at Yun Yao's words, but because of Yun Yao's identity, she could only endure it, but when she saw that a little concubine dared to provoke her, she immediately said very angrily: "Sister Zhaojia's mouth can speak, and she dares to speak in front of the queen!" ”

Zhao Jia's face turned pale when he heard this, and he immediately knelt down to ask Yun Yao for his guilt.

When Yun Yao saw it, she said majestically: "Concubine Zhaojia is just echoing the two sentences of the palace, does Concubine Guo Luoluo mean that the palace is also making a lot of nonsense?" "Concubine Zhaojia

Guo Luoluo Biyu saw Yun Yao's majestic face, and she didn't see the approachability of the original draft, she suddenly woke up, and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "The queen mother forgives her sins, it's the concubine who is talking nonsense!" ”

Yun Yao didn't disturb her easily, and said: "Concubine Guo Luoluo, you are open-mouthed, you are talking nonsense, how can you serve in Cining Palace, if you provoke the queen mother's anger, how should the palace explain to the emperor, it's okay, you should go back to the palace to pray for the queen mother, but since you sincerely consider the queen mother, after you return to the palace, you will copy the Diamond Sutra, the Lotus Sutra and the Medicine Sutra fifty times each, and after the copying is completed, the palace will enshrine the scriptures in front of the Buddha, which can be regarded as your filial piety!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Guo Luoluo's face immediately turned pale, but she also knew that she couldn't mess with Yun Yao at this time, so she could only thank her.

And the noble Niu Hulu, who was left aside, was naturally very angry when she saw that a little concubine dared to sabotage her plan, but she also knew the severity, and at this time, the top priority was to go to Cining Palace to see the Empress Dowager, and then tell the Empress Dowager about it.

Therefore, the noble Niu Hulu hurriedly said: "Since Concubine Guo Luoluo is not successful, can the concubine serve the queen mother and let the concubine do her filial piety." ”

Hearing this, Yun Yao glanced at the nobleman Niu Hulu deeply, and then said: "Since the nobleman volunteered, it is not easy to shirk the palace, so in a while, the nobleman Niu Hulu will go to Cining Palace with the palace!" ”

Hearing this, the noble Niu Hulu said with some excitement: "The concubine must serve the Empress Dowager well!" ”

Yun Yao nodded when she heard this, then looked at the concubines below, and after a week of wandering, she stopped her gaze on a person in the corner who looked somewhat similar to the deposed Queen Mother, and then said, "Concubine Borzigit? ”

The concubine who was named by Yun Yao was startled when she heard this, and came out of the corner with some trepidation, and said to Yun Yao: "The concubine Borzigit has seen the queen!" ”

Looking at the Borzigit clan in front of her, Yun Yao almost didn't recognize it, you must know that before this, the Borzigit clan had always been feared in the palace, and no one dared to provoke them at all.

Yun Yao remembered that the Borzigit clan in front of her had lived a very comfortable life in the palace in her previous life, although she was only a concubine when she first entered the palace, she enjoyed the treatment of a concubine, which was on par with the previous concubine Niu Hulu, so even if she was just a concubine, she was only under the queen in the harem. Even in the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi, she was named Concubine Xuan.

But in this life, I don't know whether to say that she is lucky or unlucky. As the sister of the abolished queen mother, not long after she was sent to the harem, Kangxi had a stalemate with the queen mother, and it didn't take long for the queen mother to force the palace, and the queen mother was deposed.

After a series of things, the future Concubine Xuan now only enjoys the lowest concubine share, and there are no preferential treatments. Although most people are still a little jealous of the Empress Dowager's residual power, but as the sister of the Empress Dowager, not only Kangxi does not like her, but even the Empress Dowager treats her badly.

In this way, after the minions and the Ministry of Internal Affairs figured out the intentions of the above, they began to snub the Borzigit clan. As far as Yun Yao knew, this Borzigit clan had not received a share for nearly three or four months.

However, when Borzigit came from Korqin, he brought a large dowry, and he was not worried about running out of money. So I have been forbearance in the palace and have not made a fuss about the incident.

However, after Yun Yao officially handled the palace affairs two days ago, Yun Yao instructed the Internal Affairs Office to send the Borzigit clan's arrears to the past.

This is not Yun Yao's kindness, after all, Yun Yao didn't have the slightest intention of treating her preferentially, she just gave what she should have, and as for the rest, she didn't give it at all.

How many concubines can there be at the bottom, it is not enough to stuff the teeth of Borzigit, the reason why Yun Yao did this is because she doesn't want people to find fault with her, after all, Horqin's power is still there, if people criticize it for this, Yun Yao feels that it is really not worth it.

Yun Yao's gaze stayed on the Borzigit clan for a long time, not only the Borzigit clan was on his back, but even the other concubines also noticed Yun Yao's abnormality.

Seeing this, Yun Yao didn't pay attention to the thoughts in the hearts of the others, and said to herself: "Concubine Guo Luoluo's words just now also reminded the palace, the Empress Dowager is seriously ill, if you hear the local voice, you must be very happy, Concubine Borzigit, you are the only one in this palace who is from Horqin, you will go to Cining Palace with the nobles of the palace to serve the Empress Dowager!" ”

Borzigit originally thought that she was being targeted by the queen and was going to be rectified, but when she heard that Yun Yao wanted her to go to Cining Palace to serve her illness, she was overjoyed.

In fact, the Borzigit clan had long wanted to go to Cining Palace for help, but due to the emperor's order, no one was allowed to disturb the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager was angry with her because of her sister who abolished the Empress Dowager, so the Empress Dowager did not pay attention to her anymore.

Now that he heard that he could get close to the Empress Dowager, Borzigit hurriedly said happily: "The concubine obeys the order!" ”

The most angry about Yun Yao's decision was the noble Niu Hulu, originally she tried her best to get close to the Empress Dowager, just so that the Empress Dowager could form an alliance with her, and then let the Empress Dowager hand over the power in her hands.

But she never expected that the queen would use the name of Borzigit to serve the queen mother. So what else can she hope for!

As Kangxi knows, Niu Hulu has been in the palace for many years, and he also knows the Empress Dowager's thoughts very well, the Empress Dowager has almost bottomless connivance with the people of Horqin, if she lets the Borzigit clan go with her, the ghost knows how much the Empress Dowager will give her!

Thinking of this, Niu Hulu couldn't help but be very anxious, but she also knew that it was impossible for her to oppose it, so she could only hold back and think of another way.

Speaking of this, Yun Yao looked at the time and said: "Except for the concubine Borzigit and the nobles of Niu Hulu, the other concubines have all stepped down and returned to the palace to pray for the Empress Dowager, after you return to the palace, remember to copy the Medicine Sutra and the Lotus Sutra fifty times each, and when it is completed, the palace will enshrine the scriptures in front of the Buddha and pray for the Empress Dowager!" ”

When the concubines heard this, even if they were very reluctant in their hearts, they could only salute and receive orders on the surface, and then retreated.

After everyone left, Yun Yao looked at the only two left behind and said, "It's not too early, you should also go to Cining Palace with this palace!" ”

Hearing this, the nobles of Niu Hulu and the Borzigit clan hurriedly nodded yes. Seeing this, Yun Yao took the nobles of Niu Hulu and Concubine Borzigit to Cining Palace to serve the sick.
