Since the Empress Dowager wants to deal with Yunxi, the whole palace knows about it, it is impossible for there to be no news outside the palace, and the concubines in the palace want to take the opportunity to make trouble, and those who have daughters in the palace outside the palace naturally want to take the opportunity to work for some benefits, after all, for them, loyalty is secondary, and interests can be eternal.

But the Empress Dowager unexpectedly had a hard life, thinking that she would not be able to drag on for a few days, but half a month has passed, and she is still alive and well, which has to say that good people do not live long and harm for a thousand years is not an empty word, at least it has been verified by the Empress Dowager.

In a blink of an eye, it was the queen mother's birthday banquet, it is said that the queen mother is sick, and it is impossible for the queen mother to do it, but now the Mongolian concubines are not having a good time, and they finally get a chance to prove their status, they naturally don't want to lose, so even if the queen mother is seriously ill, these people still instigate the queen mother out.

In the past, there was the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was basically a little transparent, and few people paid attention to her every move and thoughts, but now that the Queen Mother has fallen, more and more people have begun to look at her. Fortunately, Kangxi has a good impression of the Queen Mother, even if he doesn't have a good face for the Mongolian concubines, he never thought about embarrassing her, and because of the previous conflict with the Queen Mother, Kangxi needs to save his image, so this birthday banquet is naturally organized.

The birthday banquet in the palace is not something you can participate in if you want to, concubines and concubines can only participate in nobles and above, and women also need a certain grade, not everyone has this qualification. When Yunxi came over, Concubine Tong and Concubine Niu Colu had already arrived, and there were many concubines of all sizes around.

The moment Concubine Tong opened her mouth, she originally wanted to stab two sentences, but before she could speak, Concubine Niu Colu took the first step to open her mouth, "Look at the appearance of Concubine Zhao's sister, this body has to be raised again, yes, Concubine Zhao's sister is filial piety on behalf of the emperor, we can't help the emperor, so we can only be more considerate and considerate of Concubine Zhao's sister." ”

Niu Colu Guifei is surprisingly enthusiastic this time, and she seems to be really caring about people, which makes the surrounding concubines look sideways, after all, this concubine Niangniang has been a proud and uncaring lord since she entered the palace, except for the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, she rarely has a pleasant face to other concubines, and now she has repeatedly shown favor to Concubine Zhao, is it possible that she is afraid of Concubine Zhao's favor, and wants to win over Concubine Zhao?

It is said that there must be demons when things go wrong, not to mention those concubines, even Yunxi herself is surprised, but she has never taken the initiative to offend people, and this Niu Co Lu Guifei is not the first time to show favor to her, if she doesn't want to get involved in other people's battles, she actually still admires Niu Co Lu Guifei, at least this one has always been very self-aware, and also understands his own situation, and he seems to be rough in dealing with people, but he has stepped on Kangxi's bottom limit every step of the way, she has heard Kangxi mention her several times, although the words are dissatisfied, but the attitude is better than one time。

"Thank you for your compassion! It is a blessing for the concubines to be able to share the emperor's worries. Yunxi saw that everyone was putting on that hellish expression, Wan Er smiled, and broke the deadlock the moment he spoke, which not only eased the atmosphere, but also gave Niu Colu Guifei face.

The concubine on the side looked at this scene, knowing that she shouldn't speak, but she couldn't suppress the unwillingness in her heart, and said sourly with the corners of her mouth: "Ouch, in the end, Concubine Zhao is blessed, not only favored by the emperor, but also valued by Niu Colu Guifei Niangniang, it's really enviable!"

Yunxi glanced at the concubine, didn't want to indulge her anymore, and said directly: "If the concubine is envious of the blessing of this palace, you can go to the emperor, I believe that with the emperor's attention to the concubine, it will definitely meet the concubine's requirements, and let the concubine also go to Cining Palace to enjoy the blessings that others can't enjoy." ”

On weekdays, Yunxi ignores the concubine, and she doesn't want to understand her reasons for herself, anyway, the women in this harem are born opponents, opponents or enemies, in fact, they don't need a reason, but if she ignores it, it doesn't mean that she will always connive at the concubines jumping up and down in front of her to find faults, after all, this is a harem, not her mother's family, everyone is her father, everything has to indulge her!

The concubine's face froze, and the expression on her face instantly became difficult to see, who didn't know that Concubine Zhao's trip to Cining Palace almost lost her life. Although the Hesheri family is powerful, and the prince is in the array, she is nothing as a concubine, but the show girl on the side branch can still get a good face when she is useful, once it is useless, who can take her seriously. Thinking about the situation that has been getting worse and worse in the past few years, the concubine seems to be afraid now, and reluctantly squeezes out a smile and says to Yunxi: "Concubine Zhao said that she laughed, such a blessing is not something that concubines can have, Concubine Zhao Niangniang still don't make jokes about concubines." ”

Yunxi glanced at the concubine who suddenly softened, she didn't play any tricks of chasing after her, she didn't take the concubine seriously from beginning to end, a person who can only play tricks is not worth her trouble, so she said lightly: "This palace is not joking, this palace just wants to tell you that some things cannot be ended with a confession, and only those who are cautious in their words and deeds can live for a long time." As he spoke, he stopped looking at the concubine, and turned his head to talk to the concubine.

Concubine Tong has the heart to intervene, it is best to expand the matter, and it is not bad to be able to sell Concubine Zhao a favor at that time, if not, it will not lose anything if she can step on her, but who knows that before she can speak, this Niu Co Lu, who is the same as no one on weekdays, actually grabbed in front of her and opened her mouth, and helped Concubine Zhao everywhere, I am afraid that this move has something she doesn't know!

It's a pity that before she can figure things out, the matter is over, and looking at the picture of Niu Co Lu and Concubine Zhao talking happily, a trace of worry suddenly appeared in her heart, she wanted to suppress and calculate Concubine Zhao, but she didn't want to push Concubine Zhao into the camp of Niu Co Lu. You must know that the Niu Co Lu clan, the Hesheri clan and the Tong clan are not far apart from the three-legged situation now, especially the Hesheri clan and the Niu Co Lu clan have an advantage, so that if their Tong clan wants to climb up, they have to carefully move forward step by step, for fear that the step is too big and will attract the siege of others.

After thinking about it for a while, Concubine Tong knew that she couldn't get close in a hurry, otherwise she would not only not be able to calculate Concubine Zhao, but also have to promote the cooperation between Concubine Zhao and Niu Colu, even if she had the heart, she would not be able to deal with the two of them. After all, Niu Colu's family is powerful, and Concubine Zhao is favored, if such two people really get together, not to mention the position of the queen, it is the position of the imperial concubine, she feels hanging.

Mama Tu on the side didn't expect things to develop in such a direction, she was already a little weak in her heart, and now she just picked a head, the arrogance of this concubine was suppressed Not to mention, it also provoked Niu Colu Guifei to notice Concubine Zhao, if the two did not cooperate, it would be fine, but once they reached the same camp, not only would their calculations fail, but even the Tong family's plan would be affected!

Concubine Tong took Mama Tu's hand and walked to the main hall, compared to the lotus step lightly, noble and elegant style on weekdays, although the current Concubine Tong Guifei is not messy, but she is also confused, but on this palace banquet that symbolizes status, not to mention that her mind is only affected, she is seriously ill, and she shows her style of acting according to her preferences, I am afraid that she is reluctant to give up this opportunity to be in the limelight.

"Concubine Tong Gui Niang has arrived-"

"Niu Co Lu Guifei Niangniang has arrived-"

"Concubine Zhao is here—"

“......”

With the inner eunuch singing me, there was a commotion in Shufang Zhai, and the clans and their Fujin who had already arrived got up one after another, and the concubines did not dare to have anything to do with those women, so they all got up and came to the desk to salute their hands, and when the figures of Tong Guifei and others appeared at the palace gate, they saluted and greeted each other, but the princes of the clan had a slightly casual attitude, but they were still passable, at least they didn't take advantage of it.

Concubine Tong smiled and bowed back to several princes and Fu Jin, with that reserved appearance, I didn't know that I thought she was the queen's mother! No, before she could speak, Concubine Niu Colu, who was originally walking behind her, suddenly jumped in front of her, and then her lips opened lightly, and she said loudly: "Everyone's courtesy-"

Concubine Tong looked at the princes and Fujin who got up one after another and took the initiative to talk to the Niu Co Lu clan instead of talking to her, and she almost bit her silver teeth, but she was no longer unwilling, she also knew that Niu Co Lu's background was indeed higher than her, and these princes and Fu Jin paid attention to blood, and would treat her politely but would not please her, so this attitude is actually very common, but Tong Guifei herself always thinks that there is a fourth elder brother, and her status is different from before, but unfortunately it is not what she wants, and people have to indulge her with her temper.

However, what is surprising is that these princes and Fu Jin's perception of Yunxi is unexpectedly not bad, and then there is Niu Colu Guifei on the side, not to mention letting her integrate into it all at once, but she has also met a lot of people, it can be said that Yunxi owes Niu Colu Guifei a real favor this time.

"The emperor has arrived—"

"The Queen Mother has arrived—"

After a while, there was a high-pitched report from outside the door again, Niu Colu Guifei and Tong Guifei stepped on the bottom of the flower pot together and walked out of the main hall this time, Yunxi mixed in the harem concubines, it was not eye-catching, at least it didn't attract much attention, and it didn't cause people to be disgusted.

Not far away, Kangxi and the Empress Dowager came over one after another, no matter what the real situation of the harem was, what was shown in front of everyone at this time was at least a picture of mother and son's filial piety.
