After Kangxi returned to the palace, it was already evening, and when he walked to the Qianqing Palace, Liang Jiugong hurriedly beckoned the palace maid to bring the saint's regular clothes and wait for Kangxi to change his clothes. While changing his clothes, Kangxi asked, "Has the imperial grandmother rested?" "Kangxi was raised by the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang since he was a child, and Kangxi is also very filial, and there is no shortage of daily morning and dusk provinces.

Liang Jiugong hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, just now Cining Palace sent someone to say that the Empress Dowager has rested, and the Emperor doesn't need to go to ask for peace anymore." ”

Kangxi knew that the Empress Dowager had been in a bad mood recently, and since the death of Concubine Hui in the ninth year of Kangxi, the Empress Dowager began to be in a bad mood. Concubine Hui was originally the queen selected by the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang for Kangxi, and she grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she and the emperor can be described as childhood sweethearts. The Empress Dowager learned the lesson of his son Fulin and asked Concubine Hui to cultivate a relationship with the emperor, intending to influence Kangxi so that he would not exclude Concubine Hui as the queen. But Kangxi is a natural emperor after all, how can the personal affairs of his children control him, Kangxi knew that the Qing Dynasty would never produce another Mongolian queen, so he ignored the arrangement of the empress dowager for a long time.

Until because of the four ministers and auxiliary ministers, the empress dowager had to hand over the queen's seat to the Hesheri family in order to win over Sony. But Concubine Hui was still left, and the Empress Dowager still did not give up on establishing Concubine Hui as the queen at this time. Because of this, Kangxi did not canonize the Borzigit clan as a concubine, and at that time, the daughter of Kubilong had already been made a concubine.

In the ninth year of Kangxi, Concubine Hui accidentally fell into the water and died, and the Empress Dowager learned the news and was hit badly. Let Kangxi posthumously crown her as Concubine Hui. Kangxi was in a relative, and Concubine Hui had stayed in the palace for many years before agreeing to posthumously seal it

。 And the reason for Concubine Hui's death is definitely problematic. Kangxi knew that this matter had nothing to do with the queen, after all, the empress dowager had always wanted Concubine Hui to become the queen, and even the families behind the other Eight Banner concubines had intervened, after all, the Manchurian nobles did not want another Mongolian queen in the harem to press on the heads of all Manchu women.

However, Kangxi was also jealous of the queen because of this, after all, even the secret guards left by his emperor Ama did not find out anything.

Speaking of which, according to generation, Concubine Hui can be said to be Kangxi's cousin, Concubine Hui is the daughter of Horqin's third-class Taiji Ayu, and the third-class Taiji Ayu is the son of Empress Xiaozhuangwen's cousin Ede, that is to say, Concubine Hui is Emperor Kangxi's distant cousin. And Concubine Hui and Empress Dowager Xiaohuizhang are also cousins. In the history of the wilderness, there are rumors that Kangxi Nagu is a concubine, which refers to Concubine Hui.

However, Kangxi has been influenced by Sinology since he was a child, and he is very disgusted with this kind of relationship similar to **, in Kangxi's subconscious, he will never set up Concubine Hui as the queen, it is okay to be a concubine, but the impact will be too great. Because this will make Kangxi a laughing stock in the history books. Moreover, at this time, Hanchen did not want Kangxi to be the queen, and the rulers of the Qing Dynasty were originally ruled by ethnic minorities, and more people would take advantage of this to attack the Manchus and take the opportunity to rebel.

Even the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, because Huang Taiji can be regarded as her uncle, is also criticized. The reputation of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang among the people at this time was not as good as imagined. At this time, science was prevalent, regardless of the history books to write the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang as a famous virtuous queen in Chinese history, who cultivated and assisted Shunzhi and Kangxi emperors throughout her life, and was a famous female politician. Many people who opposed the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty used this to attack the Manchus. There are also many scandalous rumors about the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. Such as persuading Hong Chengchou.

Because of this, the Empress Dowager's plan fell through, and it happened that in this year's draft, the Empress Dowager's mind came alive again, and she wanted Kangxi to accept a few Horqin Mongolian show girls into the palace. Kangxi has seen the arrogant and domineering side of the Mongolian concubines in the harem since he was a child, and his mother was bullied so badly, and there was almost no place for Manchurian women in the harem, which left a deep impression on Kangxi. Therefore, Kangxi did not want a Mongolian woman to appear in the harem, and then the relationship with the empress dowager froze.

Since Kangxi captured Aobai in the eighth year of Kangxi, he has regarded the power in his hands as more and more important, and others must not be contaminated. Kangxi was also reluctant to go to Cining Palace to accept the persuasion of the Empress Dowager.

Kangxi gave up when he heard it. Walked to the imperial study and began to approve today's backlog of folds. Seeing this, Liang Jiugong hurriedly ordered the palace maid to serve tea. Stay by the side and wait for Kangxi's orders at any time.

Cining Palace

At this time, Cining Palace was brightly lit, and Su Mo'er looked at the Queen Mother lying on the couch a little helplessly, "Master, I'm afraid the emperor won't come, or you go to bed to rest." ”

"Now that the emperor is older and his wings are stiffer, he no longer listens to persuasion." The Empress Dowager stroked her forehead. The emperor, like his Amma, no longer listens to her, and since that is the case, then don't blame her. Shunzhi's rebellion broke her heart at the beginning, and the Empress Dowager prevented the emperor from being like his emperor Ama when she taught Kangxi, but now even Kangxi has begun to disobey her.

Su Mala looked at his master's expression and was a little shocked. The master showed such a fierce expression when Emperor Shunzhi wanted to set up Concubine Dong E to give birth to the fourth son of the emperor as the crown prince, but it didn't take long for the news of the death of the fourth son of the emperor to come, and then Concubine Dong E also died. Even Shunzhi's death may have something to do with the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager has always used the emperor without a queen as an excuse to prevent Kangxi from being in power, and now only the prince's son Chenghu and the eldest daughter of the emperor are alive in the palace, and it is difficult for Su Mala not to suspect that the empress dowager wants to attack her great-grandson, and Kangxi can't see it at all.

Su Mala wanted to persuade his master, but he couldn't speak when he saw Xiaozhuang's somewhat fierce expression. Su Mala knew that Xiaozhuang would never allow others to disobey his will, and anyone who violated his rights would not see tomorrow. Although Su Mala has a very high status in the palace, he does not dare to disobey.

In Su Mala's view, the master is already a little paranoid. The Empress Dowager could not tolerate someone getting out of his control, especially with regard to Horqin.

Nowadays, the importance of Mongolia to the Qing Dynasty is getting lower and lower, and the status of the Manchu nobles is getting higher and higher, and the palace cannot reproduce the grand occasion when it was all Mongolian women, which is irreversible. The Manchu aristocracy urgently needed closer ties with the royal family, and even the clans were not under Mongol control. Most of the current clans are married to Manchurian nobles and are not under Mongol control.

Now it's not like when the country was founded, if the empress dowager doesn't wake up, the emperor's sword will be against Mongolia sooner or later, and the empress dowager can control it now, but once the master dies, it's time for the emperor to use the knife.

Su Mala didn't know where to go, so he could only hope that in the future, the Holy One would be merciful and treat Horqin better.

Qianqing Palace

After Kangxi finished approving the excerpts, he asked: "Liang Jiugong, have the lights in Cining Palace gone out?" ”

Liang Jiugong raised his head and secretly glanced at Kangxi's face, "Your Majesty, Cining Palace has just been destroyed." Liang Jiugong knew that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor had differences in the past few days, although the Holy One did not refute the Empress Dowager because of filial piety, but the Holy One was the emperor, how could he be swayed by others. The saint is different from the first emperor, although the first emperor tolerated the empress dowager, it was because he was his own mother. But now there is a layer of separation from the Queen Mother, this filial piety is different.

Liang Jiugong watched the expression of the saint change in the light, and he didn't dare to guess.
