Chapter 205: The Problem
The main hall of Yonghe Palace, after Yunxi heard the news of Alhatu's entry into the palace, her heart has been hanging in the air, and that anxiety made her want to run to see, but because of her identity and ongoing plans, she had to stop there, after all, this harem concubine can't see her brother before she gets the emperor's permission, even her father.
"How? Did you hear from my eldest brother? How is he now? Is he injured?" Yun Xi sat on the kang, and when he saw Green Sleeves coming in, he immediately turned his eyes to her, with a little eagerness in his tone.
"Back to Niangniang's words, the slave maid personally inquired, the eldest young master is fine, not injured, after meeting the emperor, he went out of the palace and returned home, but the slave maid also heard that the emperor will hold a celebration banquet for these meritorious generals in the Qianqing Palace tonight, and the eldest young master will definitely enter the palace to participate, but it is difficult to say whether he can meet with Niangniang. "Green Sleeves has been in the palace for a few years, and obviously understands the rules.
After the green sleeves finished the report, he stood aside with his hands solemnly, although he didn't say a word, but he wanted to solve this problem for his own mother, she had followed her own mother into the palace to the present, she still read Suo Yuluo Mansion without relatives, not to mention the mother who never let go of the two young masters. Before, the eldest young master was far away on the battlefield, thousands of miles away, and it was understandable that he couldn't see him, but now that he is in this Forbidden City, there will inevitably be a trace of wanting to meet in his heart.
Yunxi really wants to see her eldest brother, since she beat her eldest brother to join the army, they have never met again, even if there is an occasional correspondence, it is only to know that the other party is safe, and I don't know anything else. Now it's easy to have an opportunity, but it's just a stone's throw away.
Green Sleeves looked at the struggling look on Yunxi's face, and knew that she was pressing the impulse in her heart, how good the relationship between her mother and the two young masters was, she couldn't not think about it, but things all came together, even if she had the heart, she didn't dare to guarantee that Yunxi was willing to take risks.
"Niangniang, do you want the slave to find a way to send a letter to the eldest young master at night, and you will meet then?" asked Green Sleeves with a cautious face.
Yunxi listened to her words, his expression was slightly stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he shook his head slightly and said: "It's better not to, the emperor will reward the heroes, and there will be many people at that time, and it seems that there are many opportunities, but in fact, it is easier to cause trouble." Although the Empress Dowager is seriously ill, as long as she doesn't give up for a day, we can't be careless for a day. She can't afford to lose, whether it's the child in her belly or Fubao, she doesn't want to lose, so she would rather watch from afar than defy the law and give others a chance to take advantage of.
"But ......" Green Sleeves pursed his lips, and finally didn't say any more, although this opportunity is rare, but for them, their own mother and little master are the most important existence.
If she had known that her eldest young master would come back at this time, she should have prayed to God to accept the life of the old demon woman of the Empress Dowager, so that everyone in Yonghe Palace would live in fear.
Yunxi turned her head to look out the window, although it didn't snow outside, but the weather was cold, and there was a gust of north wind, so the weather should stay in the house, but she couldn't go out if she wanted to, she lowered her head and played with the armor on her index finger and little finger, and said after a while: "That's it, the world says that you can't have both fish and bear's paws, since the eldest brother is back, then sooner or later we will meet one day, for now, it's better to guard against the Cining Palace, after all, the most eye-catching thing in the whole palace is the Cining Palace." "She has been planning for so long, leading people into the trap step by step, but she can't fall short because of a momentary thought.
Green Sleeves looked at Yunxi's determined expression, and hurriedly replied: "Since Niangniang has already made a decision, the slave maid will not say more, anyway, the future will be long, Niangniang will always see the eldest young master." "If the overall situation is ruined just because of this impulse, it will be them who will lose it, and they will regret it.
Yunxi waved her hand and motioned for the green sleeves to go out, as for herself leaning on the pillow, her mind was full of thoughts about the arrangement that Kangxi said. Everything is going well in Cining Palace, the only thing that is not going well is probably that the harem concubines and the family behind them are too small, if these people are a little bolder, even if the empress dowager is seriously ill, according to her hegemonic nature, she must get to the bottom of it, and then she will find out the truth...... Hehe, in the face of an irreparable situation, especially when she found out that the person who took the lead in concealing it from her was her most trusted Aunt Su Mala, Yunxi thought that the Empress Dowager's expression at that time should be very exciting.
Originally, Yunxi didn't want to do things so desperately, but since he noticed the Empress Dowager's intentions, Yunxi clearly realized that the mercy of his subordinates was just a burden to himself, and it was better to get rid of it when possible than to let the mountain of the Empress Dowager keep pressing on his head.
In the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi originally thought that Yunxi would send someone to take a look even if he didn't come, but who knew that from the end of the palace banquet in the morning to the evening, there was no movement in Yonghe Palace, although this was somewhat unexpected by him, but it was also reasonable. After all, Yunxi in Kangxi's impression was calm from the beginning, not like a child, after entering the palace, if he hadn't worked hard again, I am afraid that he would not have been able to see her arrogant side.
Based on Kangxi's understanding of Yunxi, he can probably think of the reason why she can't move, after all, even if the Queen Mother is seriously ill, she doesn't forget to calculate Yunxi's mother and son, as far as Yunxi's attention to children is concerned, if she can follow her own temperament regardless of this, then it won't be her.
As for every move in Cining Palace, every move of the Empress Dowager can't escape Kangxi's ears and eyes, but the more he knows, the more Kangxi feels cold, he really doesn't understand when the wise and generous Huang Mama in his memory has become a very unreasonable, selfish and radical old witch, or he has never understood the real her.
"How is the illness of the Emperor Taihuang?" Kangxi returned to the apse of the Qianqing Palace, and after bathing, he sat on the dragon couch, and the palace maid on the side was stripping and removing his shoes for him, while he turned his head to look at Liang Jiugong and ask the result.
Today's things are quite satisfactory, at least according to him, things are going according to his arrangement, it can be said that as long as Prince An knows each other, this matter will be over, but if he doesn't know each other, he will definitely speed up the layout and send him to meet the ancestor of the Aixin Jueluo family.
"Back to the emperor, the Empress Dowager's illness is getting worse day by day, and the Imperial Doctor Ling Jin'er also went to Cining Palace, saying that heart disease also needs heart medicine, although the Empress Dowager occasionally feels cold, but as long as she meditates and cultivates, she will soon be completely cured, otherwise the medicine will be ignored. When Liang Jiugong said this, he knelt on the ground very consciously, he knew that no matter how much the emperor hated the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager was not a slave to him, and who could guarantee that the Empress Dowager was really going to have an accident, and the emperor would no longer think of the Empress Dowager's goodness, so he would be angry with him.
As the old saying goes, see more, do more, say less, it's the same in this palace, the less you talk, the longer your life, the more you talk, the shorter your life, it's better for him to keep his mouth shut.
"That's right, I forgot, but whenever it comes to Horqin, Huang Ma will be extremely persistent, and even do anything to do so. Kangxi sneered, thinking that the Empress Dowager was terminally ill and still wanted to harm her wife and children, which made him so anxious that he even forgot the most basic abstinence and forbearance.
Swinging, signaling Liang Jiugong and the others to retreat, Kangxi stayed in the dormitory alone, obviously had no intention of summoning the concubine, the moment he looked up, his eyes fell on the sealed and unissued fold on the case not far away, Kangxi couldn't help but show a meaningful smile. He has not issued the order before, because he disagreed with the Empress Dowager, originally prepared to promote the fourth concubine, but then Yi Concubine died, so he took advantage of the situation to remove her, and the Empress Dowager saw this and asked him to remove the person on the grounds that Yunxi's qualifications were too shallow!
He would want to seal the harem, in order to elevate Yunxi's status, if he removed her, why did he bother to arrange all this.
Kangxi stretched out his hand to cover his face, the expression on his face looked a little helpless, he has always been committed to being a Ming Jun, so he leaves two more leeways for people to deal with things, in order to not want his reputation to be smeared, but this does not mean that he is really afraid of anyone! Reputation is what he wants, but it is not something that can restrain him, it can be said that once reputation becomes an obstacle to him, he will definitely abandon it without hesitation, after all, history books are written by the victor, as long as he wins, what is the future? He must have a way to solve it, why is he hesitating for this little name.
In the next period of time, Kangxi put all his thoughts on the end, as he thought, Prince An was not willing to be silent, but he wanted to win over the clan to fight against him, although the idea was good, but he was prepared, after all, the current Kangxi is no longer the little child who is left and right, after the refining of time, he has become a qualified emperor.
Prince An didn't expect Kangxi to chase him so closely, and what he didn't expect was that those people in the clan who were originally good friends with him now avoid him like snakes and scorpions, and what happened before thinking about it affected not only Kangxi's attitude towards him, but also the opinion of the clan courtiers about him.
Yes, he heard that Concubine Zhao seems to be pregnant again, if she has another son, it will really be the first in the harem, after all, there are only a few little brothers in the palace, and they are still some distance away from adulthood, and no one can guarantee that they will grow up, so one more son can be said to be one more bargaining chip, so looking at him like this, he seems to have brought himself a strong opponent because of the temporary underestimation of the enemy.
Prince An thought about all the scenery of the past and all the difficulties now, and his mood was complicated, but he had to admit that if the emperor went further, he was afraid that he would really have no way back.
Is it a real dilemma to face it directly or to be caught with your hands tied?
