Qianqing Palace

Kangxi was discussing the affairs of the court with Tuhai Wu Lu and other henchmen at this time, and Liang Jiugong's hurried appearance made Kangxi frown. However, Liang Jiugong's next words made Kangxi's face change greatly.

"Long live the master, the master is about to give birth!" Liang Jiugong whispered anxiously.

Hearing this, Kangxi suddenly stood up, making the henchmen below a little overwhelmed. And after Tu Hai saw the familiar Li Dequan faintly outside the door, he suddenly remembered that Yun Yao's due date was just recently, and his heart suddenly rose.

Kangxi didn't care about the various obscure eyes of the people below, he just said a word and dispersed, and then left the imperial study and went to Kunning Palace.

Tu Hai's heart was like being scratched by a cat's paws, and he wanted to know if Yun Yao was going to give birth, but Kangxi left too quickly, and he didn't have time to inquire, so Tu Hai just stayed in the imperial study and didn't leave, and waited for the emperor to summon him, so as not to find anyone when the emperor came back for a while.

Several courtiers around looked at Tu Hai with his eyes open and talking nonsense, and they couldn't bear to look at him directly. What they just talked to the emperor doesn't seem to be a big deal! Tu Hai's righteous words made others suspect that what they and Tu Hai said was not the same thing!

And Wu Lu's performance towards Tuhai was a little strange, but Wu Lu was not a fool, and instantly understood what Tuhai meant. Wu Lu's performance was even more exaggerated than Tu Hai, and he said seriously: "The lower officials still have urgent matters to report to the emperor, and your colleagues don't have to wait for the lower officials!" ”

The people around still don't understand at this time, the emperor and Tuhai and others are so anxious, it should be the queen mother of Kunning Palace who is about to give birth.

But in this way, these people don't want to leave early, after all, the queen's birth will be related to the future pattern of the court, if an elder brother is born, it is likely to be the future prince, who doesn't want to know the situation early?

So the others each glanced at each other, and then said to Tuhai and Wu Lu: "The two adults are loyal to their duties, the officials admire, there are two adults as examples, we don't dare to relax, and wait for the emperor to come back with the two adults!" ”

The corners of Wu Lu's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart, and wanted to refuse the so-called kindness of these people in front of him, but Tu Hai stopped him with his eyes. Tu Hai is a shrewd person, and he knows the plans of these people in front of him, but these people will be the courtiers of the emperor in the future, even if they don't make friends, they can't be offended, so as not to make enemies in advance for the future queen's concubine, which is really not worth it.

So Tu Hai said very politely: "Since that's the case, then let's wait for the emperor together!" ”

After saying that, Tu Hai didn't pay attention to everyone anymore, but they all knew that Tu Hai was being pulled away by the queen's affairs, and he didn't care about them, and he didn't care.

At this time, Kangxi, who was far away in the Qianqing Palace, also hurriedly left the ministers who were discussing the matter and came to the gate of Kunning Palace.

Kangxi was very anxious and said to Li Dequan on the side: "Go and see how your master is now!" ”

When Li Dequan heard this, he hurriedly went in and found Caiyu who commanded everyone, and asked anxiously: "Caiyu, Niangniang, how is it now?" ”

Caiyu hurriedly replied, "The master just used half a bowl of noodles, and the lady is accompanying the master inside!" ”

Li Dequan was also relieved when he heard this, thinking of Kangxi, who was still waiting for news outside the door, Li Dequan hurriedly went out to report.

Li Dequan's news made Kangxi also breathe a sigh of relief, but Kangxi was still a little flustered. This is not his first child, but the meaning of this child is very different to Kangxi, and Kangxi is naturally worried about it.

Kangxi was standing outside like a headless fly, but the situation of Yun Yao in the house was very stable, Ma Jia's family was well-informed, and he had figured out the situation in Yun Yao Palace a few days ago, so at this point, he was also very easy to command, and the people in Kunning Palace naturally did not dare to slack off on Ma Jia's family, after all, this was the queen's mother's mother-in-law, not something they minions dared to provoke.

And Kangxi also heard the report of the people in the Qianqing Palace at this time, Tuhai and Wu Lu's dead face in the Qianqing Palace.

Kangxi was a little crying and laughing at this, but Kangxi also knew that Tuhai and Wu Lu were worried about it, and he didn't let the people from the Qianqing Palace drive them away, but said: "You let people serve Tuhai well, tell Tuhai that the queen has news here in a while, and I will inform him, so that he doesn't have to worry." ”

The people in Qianqing Palace were a little stunned when they heard this, and they couldn't help but smack their tongues in their hearts for Kangxi's favor for Tuhai. So when I went back to talk to Tuhai, my attitude was very respectful.

And the people who were waiting in the Qianqing Palace also looked at each other when they heard this, and they had a new understanding of the status of Tuhai and the queen in the emperor's heart. They couldn't help but feel a little stammered.

However, because Tu Hai's status was higher than theirs, they didn't dare to talk at will, so their target was Wu Lu, after all, this one was the biological father of the queen's mother.

One of them looked at someone of the same age as Wu Lu, and congratulated Wu Lu with a smile: "Presumably, the queen will definitely give birth to a grandson to Lord Wu in a while, and you will want to drink in a while!" ”

Wu Lu tried hard to suppress his joy when he heard this, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, and he said modestly: "The imperial heir has not been born yet, how dare you speak nonsense?" ”

This congratulatory person was also choked by Wu Lu's words, but he was also thick-skinned, and hurriedly followed Wu Lu's words and said: "It's extreme, it's a gaffe!" ”

Wu Lu secretly pursed the corners of his mouth when he saw this, and then didn't pay any more attention. Speaking of which, it is not strange that Wu Lu said something ugly, but it was the person in front of him who made Wu Lu impatient.

The person in front of him is none other than Nalan Mingzhu, who will later be called Mingxiang, and his son is Nalan Rongruo.

Although Wu Lu also knew that Mingzhu's son was friendly with Ling Tai, but thinking of the so-called farce made by the concubine Nala in the palace, Wu Lu felt that this was a strategy provided by the person in front of him, and naturally he would not have a good look at Mingzhu.

There is no other reason, Wu Lu feels that Concubine Nala is an ordinary Manchurian Gege, how can she know what so-called innate vision to use to build momentum for the little brother without anyone prompting her. The pearl in front of him is the cousin of Concubine Nala, and he is the most suspicious person.

And Mingzhu was not unaware of Wu Lu's strange gaze, but Mingzhu could only secretly complain.

Mingzhu felt that he was really in trouble a while ago. A concubine of the Nala clan who died did such a big thing. Mingzhu really thought a little bit in her heart when she knew that Concubine Nala gave birth to a healthy little brother.

But the sky is pitiful, when Mingzhu hasn't thought about what to do next, a thunderbolt on a sunny day let Mingzhu know that although it is a happy event to be able to give birth to an elder brother with the blood of the Nala family, she can't bear the death of the little brother's mother, and she dug a pit for the future of the little brother who has not grown up, and couldn't wait to throw the little brother to the bottom of the pit, and finally filled in the soil.

After Mingzhu knew what Concubine Nala had done, she knew that the future of this little brother was completely ruined. Is there an emperor who would tolerate a little brother having a so-called innate vision?

Speaking of which, if Concubine Nala had done things perfectly and had not been found out by the emperor, Mingzhu would have more expectations in her heart. After all, in this way, maybe some people will look at the little brother differently because of Concubine Nala's actions.

But the current situation tells Mingzhu that he is really delusional, and he is too confident in the IQ of Concubine Nala.

Of course, if things just come to this, Mingzhu will only be a pity. But after that, Mingzhu was very keenly aware that Kangxi seemed to have a grudge against him, and the officials of the Zhao concubine family, who were not queens at the time, did not have a good look at him.

At this time, Mingzhu finally reacted, and everyone regarded him as the mastermind behind Concubine Nala doing such a thing.

Mingzhu was really panicked now, to be honest, Mingzhu was not worried that someone in the court would attack him, but Kangxi's suspicion of him made Mingzhu honestly afraid. Mingzhu's background is not low, but if he is not motivated, he will have no place in the DPRK in the future, so Mingzhu has long surrendered to Kangxi, hoping to make a career in the future.

Now Kangxi's suspicion is undoubtedly a catastrophe for Mingzhu, and even his talented son is likely to be affected by this turmoil, which makes the emperor have a bad opinion of him. Mingzhu hates Concubine Nala because of this.

However, Mingzhu also knows that the most important thing for him to do now is to regain the emperor's trust, otherwise his branch is likely to decline in the future, and even the identity of the patriarch on his body will be given up, which is undoubtedly something that Mingzhu cannot give up.

So after Kangxi was re-established, Mingzhu had no intention of opposing Kangxi in anything, and even the dissatisfaction of the court with the new queen's life experience was actively suppressed by Mingzhu, just to let Kangxi and Tuhai see his efforts. It's just that it doesn't seem to be working very well now.

However, what comforts Mingzhu is that his son has made a good friend, that is, the queen mother's sibling, and most importantly, the two are not friends with wine and meat, they can almost be regarded as close friends.

Mingzhu also breathed a sigh of relief at this, he finally didn't have to worry too much about his son's future, but because of this, Mingzhu was even more low and small for Tuhai and Wu Lu and others, looking forward to Niu Hulu's family being able to pull his son in the future, as for himself, Mingzhu felt that his future seemed to be a little dim!

Mingzhu basically has no expectations for his future now, and it is Mingzhu's greatest expectation to keep his family.

Some people can't look at Mingzhu's low voice to Wu Lu, after all, there are still many people who oppose the queen sitting in this position. Suo Etu is one of them.

Speaking of which, Suo Etu has not dared to take the lead since Empress Hesheri was deposed, and then finally in front of Kangxi, Kangxi remembered his old feelings and revived him. But Suo Etu's status in the court was not as good as before.

Not only did the people who were hostile to the Hesheri clan have no good looks at him, but even Suo Etu's eldest brother, Kabula, was not happy with Suo Etu because of the affairs of Queen Hesheri, so Suo Etu is now in a state of isolation.

However, Suo Etu is not a tolerable character, and for Mingzhu, the former opponent, he mercilessly sarcastically said: "I don't know, I still think that Master Ming is a coated slave!" ”

Suo Etu's words are definitely not good, they are the Manchurian nobles who pay the most attention to identity, and Mingzhu is also extremely prominent, he is the patriarch of the Yehenara tribe, and he also has royal blood, Suo Etu's words are undoubtedly an insult to Mingzhu.

But Mingzhu didn't seem to be angered by Suo Etu's words, but said calmly: "Lord Suo laughed, aren't we the people of the Eight Banners the emperor's servants?" Could it be..."

Mingzhu's words were meaningful, making Suo Etu's face instantly darken. Of course, Suo Etu couldn't refute Mingzhu's words, because if he refuted, he would be dissatisfied with the emperor.

So Suo Etu stiffened his face and said, "Lord Ming said that he laughed, we are naturally all servants of the Long Live Lord!" ”

As for the dark tide between Mingzhu and Suo Etu, Tu Hai and others didn't see it. Tuhai and Wu Lu were unhappy because Suo Etu meant something, and the others just didn't want to get involved in the deep-rooted contradictions between the two, so as not to set themselves on fire, after all, the Nala clan and the Hesheri clan were both big clans, and they naturally wanted to protect themselves.

And Tu Hai knows very well that Yun Yao, as the new queen, compared with the deposed Hesheri clan, the Hesheri family will inevitably be very hostile to Yun Yao's family, and there is basically no possibility of reconciliation, so why should Tu Hai bother to relieve the siege for Suo Etu?

Of course, if Yun Yao saw the scene of Mingzhu and Suo Etu fighting each other, she would definitely sigh with emotion, even if she has a lot of butterflies, the old enemy is still the old enemy!

Because of the confrontation between Mingzhu and Suo Etu, the atmosphere in the imperial study was very strange.

And the little eunuch who reported to Kangxi just now knew that Kangxi attached great importance to Tuhai, and was very attentive to serve tea and snacks to Tuhai and Wu Lu, lest there be anything inconsiderate.

Everyone was very curious. These courtiers had never enjoyed such treatment when they were discussing matters before. Therefore, his eyes looked at the little eunuch and Tu Hai.

The old god Tuhai was enjoying the service of the little eunuch, and did not respond to everyone's doubts.

But Suo Etu couldn't help but ask: "The relationship between Master Tu and this father-in-law is very good!" ”

As soon as Suo Etu's words came out, Tu Hai was not in a hurry, but the little eunuch next to him was angry, and said to Suo Etu with a smile: "This adult said that he was laughing, the slave didn't have this blessing for Master Tu to know, where did you come from?" ”

No wonder this little eunuch is so anxious, Kangxi once ordered that the internal eunuch and the ministers were not allowed to communicate too closely, and now if Suo Etu's words are passed out, Tuhai may not be fine, but this little eunuch will definitely be unlucky. This is also the reason why the little eunuch is in a hurry to distinguish.

But Suo Etu is arrogant, how could he have been so confronted by the little eunuch, if it weren't for the Qianqing Palace, Suo Etu would have wanted people to arrest the little eunuch. But Suo Etu also confiscated.

"If you don't have a good relationship with Master Tu, how can you treat it differently?" Suo Etu pointed to the cup of tea in front of him and the dazzling array of food in front of Tu Hai and said.

The little eunuch was also very tough, and he also knew that Suo Etu could not be as arrogant as before the abolition, so he said with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes: "My lord said that he laughed, when the slave gave the emperor a gift just now, the emperor specially instructed the slave to take good care of Lord Tu, and the slave naturally did not dare to disobey the emperor's will!" ”

Suo Etu was choked when he heard this, but he didn't dare to take Kangxi's words, so he could only keep silent.

In an instant, the study fell into calm again.
