Chapter 50 The Empress Dowager Niu
"Isn't the concubine master in the palace also born in the Year of the Snake?" Although there was a questioning tone, looking at Yun Yao's determined expression, he knew that she was not uncertain.
"Yes······ Right! Xiangning replied with a little stammer. She didn't expect that this matter was related to Concubine Niu Hulu in the palace, now this matter is not only Yun Yao's problem, even Concubine Niu Hulu has been implicated, if she felt that this matter was just for Yun Yao and had a bit of a bystander mentality, then now she is a little panicked, Concubine Niu Hulu and Yun Yao are different, Concubine Niu Hulu is the person who the Niu Hulu family really supports. Now that the queen wants to use this to wipe out all the people of Niu Hulu's family, Xiangning didn't expect the queen to be so crazy.
And to put it mildly, if the queen is ruthless and learns from Wu Zetian to strangle her daughter to death and blame the queen to blame the queen to kill the prince and marry Concubine Niu Hulu, then Concubine Niu Hulu will definitely be greatly injured, and the women in the Niu Hulu family do not need to marry. And Xiangning's marriage will definitely be beaten by chickens and eggs. No matter how noble the Niu Hulu family is, once it is involved in this kind of thing, the family will not want to continue to maintain its current status in the future.
In fact, if the queen really made such a come, Xiangning would not be surprised, after all, even if Prince Chengcobalt is the only son of the emperor, he can't stand the fact that he has been weak and sickly, and he looks like he may die at any time. The queen might as well have another prince! At that time, once Concubine Niu Hulu falls, no one in the harem will be able to threaten her at all.
Giving up a sick prince in exchange for the disappearance of a fierce rival is a good deal. It's no wonder that Xiangning speculated about the queen with the greatest malice, because the family affection in the court is really illusory, and it is not certain how much love the queen has for Prince Chengco!
"Aunt Tang, what should I do then! Isn't it time to inform Concubine Niu Hulu! Xiang Ning said with a panicked face.
Yun Yao wasn't too anxious, but said, "After all, the concubine master is also in charge of palace affairs, I'm afraid she already knows about it." It shouldn't be our turn to worry about it. Besides, we can't intervene. "If Yun Yao is right, now the level of struggle is already at a high level, so don't go in and stir up trouble with these small fish and shrimp, otherwise they will think they are unlucky if they are affected by the pond fish.
In fact, the queen pointed the spear at Concubine Niu Hulu, Yun Yao didn't think it was strange, since the two of them competed for the back position, it was doomed to an endless situation between the two.
It's just that I don't know if the queen is slacking off because she feels that she is about to defeat her worst enemy, and she even ignores that there is another person in the palace who she can't move is also a snake. And that one is not something that the queen can get away with with an excuse.
That person was none other than Kangxi's mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Xiaohuizhang. To be honest, people in the palace often ignore the existence of the Queen Mother, even the presence of Su Mala next to the Queen Mother is much higher than that of the Queen Mother. But this does not mean that the Queen Mother is a master who is bullied, even if the Queen Mother has never been close to the Queen Mother these days, the Queen Mother who protects her shortcomings will not allow others to bully the Queen Mother who is also from Horqin.
Now the Queen Mother's sense of existence is really low, even if she will appear on many formal occasions, no one will really pay attention to her. Maybe that's why those harem secrets haven't been around her.
Perhaps because the Empress Dowager is unwilling to have a Empress Dowager to share her glory, not only does she not let the Empress Dowager interfere in palace affairs on weekdays, but even the relationship between her and Kangxi is restricted by the Empress Dowager. Because Kangxi doesn't have much contact with the Queen Mother on weekdays, Kangxi can't be filial to the Queen Mother on weekdays, and the Queen also follows Kangxi's preferences, so she doesn't particularly value the Queen Mother, but she is an invisible person. When the queen was in charge of palace affairs, she was far less filial to the queen mother than the queen mother, but she just followed the palace rules and refused to give any more.
Maybe it's because of this that the queen has this negligence, but the queen doesn't care about offending the queen mother at all, in the queen's opinion, the queen mother is not as important as Concubine Niu Hulu to be valued by her!
According to Yun Yao's understanding of the Queen Mother, she is by no means a small role, especially after the death of the Queen Mother, she can get Kangxi's respect, even if there is a reason for Kangxi to appease Mongolia, but the Queen Mother's own wrist should not be underestimated. But the impression left by the Queen Mother in the palace is indeed that she is a good person.
And the queen offended the good old man in the palace, there is a good saying, the good old man is more terrible than the average person when he gets angry. The Queen Mother is not an ordinary good person, the Queen Mother can not only completely suppress the Queen Mother in terms of identity, but even if it is true that the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother's numerology restrained the death of the Prince Cheng Cobalt, everyone will only say that the Queen Mother is thin, and will not say bad things about the Queen Mother.
This is the absolute obedience of the younger generations to the elders in the feudal period, not to mention that Kangxi also advertises to rule the world with filial piety, and Kangxi will not let the Queen Mother move out of the palace because of the illness of Prince Chengco, otherwise, it will not be a joke but a scandal.
Yun Yao suddenly felt comfortable when she thought of this, and even the obstructive dark guard not far away was pleasing to the eye.
That's right, Yun Yao found that this secret guard seemed to be following herself, Yun Yao had observed that no one except herself was being monitored by the secret guard all the time. Yun Yao wondered why Kangxi was so idle and only spying on himself!
However, this is also conducive to passing on the news that Yun Yao wants Kangxi to know, so Yun Yao doesn't care about this, and of course Yun Yao and Kangxi can't care about it.
Just like this time, if the queen wants to deal with herself and Concubine Niu Hulu, she must let Kangxi know, and I believe that Kangxi will know how to choose. Especially now that he does not have full control of the government.
Xiang Ning looked at Yun Yao's comfortable expression and knew that she didn't care about this matter, but Xiang Ning also knew that when Yun Yao had not yet entered the palace, the queen's release of such news would only hurt Concubine Niu Hulu even more.
It's not that the queen is kind enough to bypass Yun Yao, but on the one hand, the queen is also a little jealous of Tuhai, Kangxi and the empress dowager are very fond of Tuhai, and the empress dowager is okay, and the queen still attaches great importance to Kangxi's opinion. And the queen also knew at this time that Kangxi was tired of the ambiguous attitude of Ji Bilong, and her uncle Suo Etu was also deeply used by the emperor, so the queen dared to attack Concubine Niu Hulu.
On the other hand, the queen didn't regard Yun Yao as an opponent at all, and her goal was only Concubine Niu Hulu from beginning to end. If Yun Yao is hit easily this time, it will also be an unexpected joy.
Therefore, Xiang Ning felt a little at Amma's foresight, it was originally Concubine Niu Hulu who had the upper hand, but now maybe Yun Yao will have the upper hand, and even if Concubine Niu Hulu passes this hurdle safely, as long as the prince of Chengcobalt is a little bit bad behind, Concubine Niu Hulu will receive more blame. And if Prince Chengcobalt really dies young, Concubine Niu Hulu will wear the label of killing the prince for the rest of her life, and even the position of queen she has in mind may fly away.
