Yun Yao looked at the two people who were out of shape in front of her, a little inexplicable. Yun Yao didn't know what she had to do with the Queen Mother, but Yun Yao couldn't help but suspect that there had been no such thing in her previous life, and the people the Queen Mother knew should have nothing to do with her.

Yun Yao didn't say anything, but the Queen Mother couldn't sit still. The Empress Dowager was not anxious to get the news of the deceased, so she hurriedly asked: "Concubine Zhao, your grandmother's name is Naren?" ”

Yun Yao shook her head and said: "The concubine's grandmother died early, and the elders in the family never mentioned it, and the concubines didn't know about it. ”

When the Queen Mother heard Yun Yao's reason, she secretly sighed that she was dizzy, and said to Yun Yao with a smile: "It's the palace that is reckless, it's just that Zhao Concubine is your grandmother, and the mourning family feels quite like an old friend, so the mourning family asked, I hope Zhao Concubine will not blame." ”

Yun Yao hurriedly said: "The concubine doesn't dare, the mother has killed the concubine!" ”

The Queen Mother shook her head, and at this time, the Queen Mother looked at Yun Yao very closely, not as cold as before. When the Queen Mother learned that Yun Yao might be the descendant of the deceased, this was the state.

The Queen Mother asked softly: "Concubine Zhao is not very old, the mourning family has always called you like this, and I don't know Concubine Zhao's name!" ”

Yun Yao was a little flattered to see that the Queen Mother was so gentle. Therefore, Yun Yao happily replied: "The concubine's name is Yun Yao, and it was obtained by the concubine's uncle. ”

It is necessary to make it clear here, Yun Yao and the Queen Mother used Manchu when they talked, but Yun Yao spoke Chinese when she mentioned her name. However, since the Queen Mother entered the palace, she has only learned part of the Manchu language, but she doesn't know anything about Chinese, so the Queen Mother didn't understand the meaning of Yun Yao's name when she heard it.

Therefore, the Queen Mother asked, "What is the name of Concubine Zhao?" Didn't the mourners understand? ”

Yun Yao realized her negligence, the Queen Mother didn't understand Chinese, and it was useless for her to say her name, and she might even dislike her because of it.

Yun Yao therefore replied cleverly: "The Queen Mother doesn't know, the name Yun Yao is a Chinese name, if the mother is not used to hearing it, the mother can call the concubine's nickname, which is obtained by the concubine's grandmother for the concubine." I hope that the mother will not dislike it. ”

When the Queen Mother saw Yun Yao mention her grandmother, she naturally knew that Yun Yao was using her grandmother to gain her favor, but the Queen Mother didn't mind, on the contrary, she wanted to know more about the old man from Yun Yao. Therefore, the Queen Mother asked Yun Yao: "Oh? Is that your nickname? What is Zhao Concubine's nickname? ”

Yun Yao replied respectfully: "The concubine's nickname is Ao Deng. ”

The Queen Mother showed nostalgia and whispered: "Ao Deng, little Ao Deng, she called me that at the beginning." ”

Yun Yao was a little surprised when she heard the Queen Mother's whisper, she didn't expect that the Queen Mother's old man would have such a big impact on the Queen Mother, but Yun Yao had already thought about how she should face the anger of the Queen Mother who knew the truth in the future.

Yun Yao couldn't help but be more respectful when she thought of this. Seeing this, the Queen Mother also nodded with satisfaction. The Queen Mother was very satisfied with Yun Yao's modest attitude, of course, the Queen Mother felt that Concubine Zhao wanted to have a relationship with her, and she didn't see any frivolity, at least not a character who was rampant when she got her will. If this is the case, the Queen Mother will never read that insignificant affection.

Yun Yao didn't speak, and the Queen Mother seemed to be immersed in the memories of the past and couldn't extricate herself, the whole palace became extremely quiet, and Wulan next to her saw that things were developing so fast, and her hostility towards Yun Yao was much smaller, and seeing Yun Yao was very embarrassed, she said very intimately: "Master, Concubine Zhao has been waiting for you to speak, you scared Concubine Zhao Niangniang like this!" ”

Yun Yao didn't even dare to say, the Queen Mother came back to her senses and said with a smile: "I'm tired of Ao Deng accompanying my old wife, now it's late at this hour, I want to come to the emperor to pass, Ao Deng go and prepare!" ”

As soon as the Queen Mother's voice fell, Yun Yao's face suddenly turned red, and even the reply was like a mosquito-like humming sound, Yun Yao whispered: "Then the concubine will not disturb the Queen Mother, and the concubine will retire." ”

The Queen Mother laughed when she saw this, and asked Wulan to send Yun Yao out. Wulan led Yun Yao to the gate of the palace, and Wulan turned around and saluted Yun Yao and said, "The slave will not continue to send Niangniang, but also ask Niangniang to go slowly." ”

Yun Yao said with a smile: "It should be said that Ao Deng is in trouble with Mama, but Mama is just about Mama, can Ao Deng inform the family?" ”

Wulan replied with a smile: "This matter must be spread soon, and Niangniang is naturally not allowed to keep it secret, but if Niangniang's grandmother is the deceased of the Queen Mother, then Zhao Concubine Niangniang will be happy!" ”

Wulan's mysterious tone not only did not make Yun Yao happy, but she was a little worried, if the Queen Mother was really so happy because she learned the news of the deceased, then if she knew that she had found the wrong person, I am afraid that how much blessing she will have now, and what a big crime she will be in the future!

Yun Yao said a little melancholy: "Mama Wulan." Theoretically speaking, I shouldn't disturb the interest of the Queen Mother, but what if my grandmother is not the person the Queen Mother is looking for, won't it make the Queen Mother sad at that time? ”

Wulan's eyes froze when he heard this, but in an instant, Wulan smiled and comforted Yun Yao and said: "Niangniang has not been found for so many years, and now that she has news, she is fortunate to have news, so she naturally doesn't dare to ask for more, and if she finds the wrong master, she will not give up, so Niangniang doesn't have to worry about the master being sad." ”

Yun Yao didn't seem to hear what this meant, but said, "Since that's the case, then the palace will retire!" With that, Yun Yao turned around and left.

Yun Yao was thinking about what had just happened on the way out of Shoukang Palace.

The change in Ulan's eyes Yun Yao naturally saw it clearly, and then listened to Ulan's words with unclear meanings, which made Yun Yao even more frightened, and now Yun Yao has understood that Ulan's good attitude now is based on the factor that she is an old man, in addition, Mama Ulan does not have any good feelings for Yun Yao, seeing this situation, Yun Yao is more relieved, at least the Queen Mother and the people around her put their likes and dislikes on their faces, at least she doesn't have to worry about the Queen Mother will attack her.

As for Yun Yao on the bright side, she is even more sure, although the queen mother has a high status on the bright side, but this is all based on the fact that someone supports her, before the queen mother did not have to share it with others for her own honor, so she deliberately suppressed the queen mother, and now the emperor and the queen mother are clearly raising the bar, so the queen mother stood in front of the stage.

Although Mongolia also has the possibility of supporting the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother is not a soft persimmon, how can she allow the Queen Mother to snatch her power, so this possibility tends to be close to zero, even if you take 10,000 steps back, even if the Queen Mother has the support of Mongolia, but by that time, I am afraid that Kangxi will have already leveled the three feudatories, and she will be able to free up Mongolia with her hands, and the Queen Mother will not have the status of the Queen Mother at that time.

Yun Yao couldn't help but be happy when she thought of this, although this trip to Shoukang Palace had such a disaster, but there was also a lot of gain, now she has completed her previous goal, and let the people in the harem see her attitude, and although the queen mother's attitude is a little ambiguous, but it is enough for others to have countless reveries when they send her out of the palace, you must know that Wulan is the most trusted person of the queen mother.

And this is also the reason why Yun Yao did not eagerly prove that the Queen Mother recognized the wrong person after learning that the Queen Mother was likely to misunderstand that she was the descendant of the deceased.

After all, if Yun Yao quickly dispelled the Queen Mother's luck and directly denied the matter, although it might make the Queen Mother unhappy for a while, the Queen Mother would never blame Yun Yao in the future. Because the Queen Mother did not maintain such great hopes at this time.

However, Yun Yao did not explain that it was not because she was worried that the Queen Mother would directly blast her out of the palace gate in a moment of anger, although the Queen Mother would not continue to anger Yun Yao later, but the purpose of her coming to Shoukang Palace could not be carried out, and even Kangxi would snub her for the sake of face, this is not the situation that Yun Yao wants.

So although Yun Yao didn't say it explicitly just now, in fact, Yun Yao has been deliberately guiding the Queen Mother's emotions, making the Queen Mother more convinced of her judgment. This kind of little trick Yun Yao has used in modern times, and Yun Yao is not wasted when he uses it now.

As for the possibility that the Queen Mother didn't recognize the wrong person, although Yun Yao thought about it, Yun Yao felt that if it was true, she was afraid that she would win the jackpot, judging from the attitude of the Queen Mother and the people around her, but because she was a little similar to the old man, and then got the news of the suspected old man, the Queen Mother was able to be very gentle to her regardless of her previous suspicions. This kind of attitude is definitely a golden thigh for her harem concubines.

Even if the Queen Mother loses the attention of the saint, it is still very easy to make things difficult for her, after all, Yun Yao is not the queen, as the mother of the country, even the Queen Mother cannot take her edge. Not to mention anything else, as long as the queen mother asks the emperor about the promotion of concubines, she casually says that as long as the emperor has no necessary reason to promote her, the emperor will consider the queen mother's opinion, even if it is nominal. Of course, this is based on the fact that the Queen Mother hates her to the core, and if it were ordinary, the Queen Mother would naturally not interfere.

Of course, although Yun Yao had this fantasy, she also secretly warned herself not to think about such beautiful things.

When Yun Yao was on the way back, there was a eunuch in Shoukang Palace who was also secretly leaving Shoukang Palace and running towards Qianqing Palace.

Qianqing Palace

Kangxi's face was dark and uncertain, listening to the reports of the people below, Kangxi had to say that the development of the Shoukang Palace was beyond his expectations, just like Yun Yao thought, Kangxi wanted Yun Yao to take the initiative to provoke the queen and Concubine Niu Hulu, and when Yun Yao wanted to ask the queen mother for peace, Kangxi also knew.

Kangxi is happy to see Yun Yao come up with such a method, after all, if Concubine Zhao uses some rough methods, Kangxi might as well do it himself!

Speaking of which, don't look at Kangxi's jealousy of the previous dynasty, but this doesn't mean that he has nothing to do with the harem, not to mention anything else, now that the harem is all under his surveillance, he has no pressure to kill someone or even frame someone, but there are many disadvantages of doing so, not only will it damage his prestige, but he feels that the harem has become a sieve, and Kangxi still doesn't want to let the place where he live be full of murderous intentions, after all, once he uses such means first, it is difficult for other people in the harem to guarantee that they will not fish in troubled waters.

Having said so much above just shows that Kangxi hopes to keep the harem under his control by roundabout means, although this method is slow to work, but the effect is good, and there is no trouble. And Yun Yao's entry into the palace was also the result of Kangxi's careful choice, a series of reasons made Kangxi notice Yun Yao, and then Yun Yao's performance also satisfied Kangxi.

But now the news from Shoukang Palace can't help but make Kangxi frown, he really didn't expect that even Concubine Zhao had such a deep relationship with the Queen Mother, he didn't know if what the Queen Mother said was true or false, but now things seem to be more and more out of his control.

Kangxi's first thought was not to stop this matter, but to let it develop. Not to mention that he is not sure about the three feudatories in the south, and now that the empress dowager has turned against him, Kangxi naturally wants to support the empress dowager to fight against her.

But the Empress Dowager's connections for so many years should not be underestimated at all, and since Concubine Zhao's grandmother may be the Empress Dowager's old friend, the identity of the person who can make the Empress Dowager so concerned is not low, at this time, trying his best to win the hearts of the Mongolian people is what he should do, if it weren't for the fact that the relationship with the Empress Dowager has been very broken, Kangxi would not have chosen another path at all.

Of course, at this time, Kangxi was also angry because of the empress dowager's provocation in the harem of the court, if Kangxi himself could not bear this price, Kangxi would naturally have asked the empress dowager to repair the relationship, after all, Kangxi is also a person who can bend and stretch at a certain moment.

But now that he has a better choice, he can still let out a sullen breath that was suppressed by the Empress Dowager, even if he has to take more risks, Kangxi is willing.

Therefore, Kangxi summoned Dark Eleven and said, "You go to check the identity of Concubine Zhao's grandmother, as well as all the anomalies on her body, to see what is the relationship between her and the Queen Mother?" ”

Dark Eleven immediately received the order and hurriedly retreated, Kangxi thought for a moment and then instructed the eunuchs below: "You have been paying attention to the Queen Mother's movements these days, and you have also told me everything about the grandmother of Zhao Concubine that the Queen Mother investigated, if this matter is true, then you must report this matter immediately." ”

The eunuch below also said respectfully: "The slave takes the order!" ”

Kangxi waved his hand and said, "You stand down!" ”

The eunuch listened to it, and there was no other word, and the eunuch left the Qianqing Palace like a cat, almost attracting anyone's attention, except for one person.

The person next to him saw Qi Wei's expression change suddenly, and said, "Qi Wei, is there something wrong?" ”

Qi Wei stared at the direction of the eunuch's departure and pondered, and when he saw his colleague asking, he put a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Just now I saw that there seemed to be a gust of wind blowing, which blew me cold and scared me!" ”

After listening to Qi Wei's explanation, my colleague also smiled and said: "Qi Wei, you will know after you stay here for a long time, it is often windy here, so next time you wear more clothes and don't catch a cold." ”

Then he called another secret guard, Dark Twelve, and said, ""

The eunuch below also said respectfully: "The slave takes the order!" ”

Kangxi waved his hand and said, "You stand down!" ”

The eunuch listened to it, and there was no other word, and the eunuch left the Qianqing Palace like a cat, almost attracting anyone's attention, except for one person.

The person next to him saw Qi Wei's expression change suddenly, and said, "Qi Wei, is there something wrong?" ”

Qi Wei stared at the direction of the eunuch's departure and pondered, and when he saw his colleague asking, he put a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Just now I saw that there seemed to be a gust of wind blowing, which blew me cold and scared me!" ”

After listening to Qi Wei's explanation, my colleague also smiled and said: "Qi Wei, you will know after you stay here for a long time, it is often windy here, so next time you wear more clothes and don't catch a cold." ”
