Chapter 165: Ruthless Character
Concubine Tong has never been the kind of person who has a view of the overall situation and focuses on the overall situation in everything, she has always done things only according to her own preferences, no matter what the consequences are, it can be said that she is the most self-conscious and wanton person living in this harem.
The current situation, a discerning person can see at a glance that there is a greasy in it, and even if she has an idea in her heart, she will not be as eager to do it as she is, it can be said that only Concubine Tong in the whole palace is still thinking about competing for favor at this time, and changing to other concubines must be thinking about how to implement the fourth elder brother's succession. Didn't you see that Tong Guowei, who had been shouting to send his concubine into the palace before, temporarily stopped after learning the news of the succession, which shows how much impact the matter of the fourth elder brother is.
Don't look at the fourth elder brother is not born to Concubine Tong Guifei, but there is still a big difference between having an elder brother and not having an elder brother's body, otherwise why would those high-ranking concubines who have no heirs compete to support the children of low-ranking concubines. To put it bluntly, they just want to rely on, after all, if this child is raised by his side since he was a child, no matter how he is, he will have a little affection, and then there is the emperor's practice of 'ruling the world with filial piety', even if their 'mother-son' relationship is cold, they will never be able to ignore it.
"There is another mystery, what does Mama mean that Concubine Zhao has discovered? It's just that it's hard to say, so it's just a quiet brake, waiting for the opportunity?" Concubine Tong lowered her eyelashes slightly, her thoughts turned slightly, she thought of a certain possibility, and her heart was shocked, she and Wu Ya's family became enemies of life and death just because they were competing for favor, not to mention that Wu Ya's attack this time was going for the lives of Zhao Concubine's mother and son, she didn't believe that Concubine Zhao's heart was so big, and she could laugh at her enmity and hatred after only such a little time.
Mama Tu smiled bitterly, of course she knew that Concubine Zhao had found out about the cat, but when they said this, their mother couldn't listen to it at all, so she could only guide her to take the initiative to find out. Fortunately, it didn't take too much time this time, and their own mothers reacted, otherwise if they made another big detour, maybe they wouldn't be able to stop their mothers from going to the trouble of Wuya nobles. At that time, if her own mother falls for the tricks of the nobles of Wuya, it will be the real gain that outweighs the loss.
To say that Mama Tu and their hearts are not dissatisfied with the Wuya nobles, it is impossible, for those of them who are loyal to Tong Guifei, anyone who threatens the status of Tong Guifei is their enemy, not to mention that the Wuya nobles are still selected by them to help their own mothers and mothers, but they did not get this benefit, and they also brought out an enemy, which makes them how can they not be dissatisfied.
Mama Tu took two steps forward, saw Concubine Tong's face was slightly pale, and said softly: "Niangniang, compared to us, Concubine Zhao Niangniang obviously hates Wuya nobles more, since she can watch Wuya nobles get favored, then she must have other plans, and people will be reminded, maybe they are afraid that we will make a mistake at the same time, so that in the end, we will cheapen Wuya nobles?"
For the matter of Wuya nobles being turned over in a row, Mama Tu didn't know the bottom of her heart, she wanted to wait for tonight's results to come out before making plans, now it's good, her own mother is rarely alert, she feels that she still needs to remind more.
Concubine Tong didn't notice the complicated expression on Mama Tu's face, nodded and said, "It's possible, but I don't know what the emperor's intentions are?"
Concubine Tong doesn't think there's anything wrong with the fourth elder brother, in her opinion, the fourth elder brother should have been her child, if she hadn't given Wu Ya a chance, Wu Ya wouldn't have said anything about the fourth elder brother, maybe he would still be a servant of people!
Mama Tu raised her head, looked at Concubine Tong's distressed appearance, and persuaded softly: "Niangniang, no matter what the emperor's intentions are, as long as the Wuya nobles can't please us, it will be a good thing for us, and because the emperor has continuously turned over the Wuya nobles' green head cards, those concubines who originally targeted Wei Changzai are now turning their attention to her, it can be said that even if the mother doesn't make a move, the Wuya nobles are afraid that they won't be able to get any benefits." ”
As long as the emperor still spoils her, even if those people are unwilling, they are just talking about it, who dares to really risk the big cloud to ask for Wu Ya's life. Although Concubine Tong Guifei has always looked down on those who can only talk about it, she also knows in her heart that this harem has the rules of the harem, and it is not that they can do whatever they want, which is up to her.
Mama Tu looked at the undisguised unwillingness on Concubine Tong's face, and suddenly felt helpless in her heart, her mother only thought about the emperor, but unfortunately the emperor had this country in his heart, and he couldn't take care of her at all.
The love between men and women, Mama Tu doesn't understand, she is unmarried in this life, and she was picked to wait for Concubine Tong when she came out of the palace, it has been almost twenty years in a blink of an eye, and most of this mind is on Concubine Tong, it can be said that she thinks what she thinks, what she is anxious about, and everything is based on her. But even so, she didn't dare to say some things, let alone say them, so she could only watch Concubine Tong struggle for affection.
Now the situation has finally changed, although this Zhao Concubine is also the opponent of the noble concubine Niangniang, but for the current noble concubine Niangniang, it is obvious that the threat of the Wu Ya clan is greater. After all, these four elder brothers are really going to become the sons of the concubine Niangniang, even if Wu Ya is three heads and six arms, pouring the country into sincerity, it can't move the mother at all, not to mention that her appearance is not the most dazzling in the palace, there is Wei Chang in front of her, and there is Zhao Concubine in the back, Yuan Guiren's color alone is three points more gorgeous than her, she has no children, why should she fight with the concubine Niangniang.
"That being said, if there are so many people targeting Wu Ya's clan together, if she wants to take another step, or if she wants to fight the fourth elder brother's idea, I'm afraid that if we don't have to do it, others will cut off her own way. When Mama Tu said this, she couldn't help but think of Wei Chang after the miscarriage, and now she is still honored, and her edge can be said to be unmatched, but as a result, life is even worse than before.
This harem is not to be favored to have everything, there is no power, no means, just to be favored, that is almost the same as looking for death.
"Is that so? If that's the case, this palace is looking forward to the Wu Ya clan being favored again, and if the empress dowager is willing to make a move, I'm afraid that this palace's wish will really be fulfilled. Concubine Tong muttered to herself.
Even if Concubine Tong Guifei dislikes the Queen Mother, she has to admit that she is in this harem, except for Kangxi, the only one who can control the life and death of these concubines is the Queen Mother, as for the Queen Mother, no matter what happens, few people really look at her in their eyes.
Thinking of Wu Ya's arrogant appearance and the minions in Jingren Palace who had recently begun to emerge again, a cold light flashed in her eyes: "Don't worry, Niangniang, your wish will come true sooner or later." After seeing Concubine Zhao's meticulous thinking and decisive handling methods, she knew that this seemingly indifferent and unthreatening Concubine Zhao Niangniang was essentially a ruthless character.
Fortunately, this Zhao Concubine Niangniang is different from other ladies in the harem, as long as she doesn't take the initiative to provoke her, she basically won't take the initiative to deal with people, which makes them feel more at ease with her.
Concubine Tong Guifei's heart moved when she heard this, no matter who helped her achieve this, as long as the result was what she wanted, who else would care. Yes, Wu Ya's family was single-handedly held out by her, whether she is good or not, it is only her concubine who is ashamed, and even sometimes she has to pretend not to know when she suffers a dumb loss, but she also has to grit her teeth to help Wu Ya's round field, and such a result will be as aggrieved as possible.
It's good now, the master and servant have torn their faces, she no longer has any scruples in acting, and even when she suppresses the Wu Ya clan with all her might, by the way, she can also deter those concubines who always want to replace her. She believes that one day, her cousin will see who is the one who is sincere to him!
That night, as Mama Tu thought, Kangxi still chose to turn over Wu Ya's brand, and the posture did not seem to be just guilty, but very satisfied with it, not only made the harem concubines no longer calm, but even the queen mother, who was originally quietly watching the changes, rarely looked sideways.
Although it is not without concubines who have been turned over in the harem for four consecutive days, I want Wei Chang to be favored in the middle moon at the beginning, but it is the end of the empress dowager to speak in person, Wu Ya's four days in a row are not too eye-catching, Wei Changzai and Zhao Concubine have been, but now this time is extremely eye-catching, after all, a lot of things have happened before this!
It is said that there is no harm if there is no comparison, after all, Wei Changzai's half-moon move is a thing of the past, and if there is such a move after such a long time, it will inevitably make people feel a sense of imbalance in their hearts. After all, from the very beginning, although Wu Ya's family was favored, she had always had a degree, and suddenly even she crossed this degree, and it was understandable that the concubines in the harem would have other ideas.
If a person is only one step or two steps behind the other person, he (she) will definitely feel that he is not worse than the person standing in front, as long as he works a little harder, maybe he can compare, or even surpass, but when this person is a hundred steps behind the other person, or even a thousand steps, he (she) will not feel unwilling, but feel that everything the other party gets is taken for granted.
At this time, the Wu Ya clan is the one who only walks one or two steps more than them for the harem concubines, how can they feel willing to be willing at such a distance, and how can they accept such a huge gap. Naturally, the concubines directly pointed the finger at Wu Ya's family, no matter whether the trouble is big or small, if they can breathe a sigh, for the concubines in the harem, as long as they can let Wu Ya's eat turtles, they are willing even if they work hard.
At first, like everyone else, she thought that Kangxi chose to forgive her because of guilt, and then wanted to compensate her, but this three days in a row were turned over the green card, and it was not strange to say that she was busy for a day or two, and she was placed in the side hall for three days in a row, and she didn't even see Kangxi's face, no matter how stupid Wu Yashi was, she knew that there must be something wrong.
Thinking back to Kangxi's expression and demeanor when he was in Cining Palace, Wu Yashi realized that he really angered Kangxi, otherwise it would be impossible to deal with her according to Kangxi's temperament, even if he was angry, he was just snubbed, and he didn't even give her a chance to explain like now, so he shot directly, which also made her intuitively feel Kangxi's terrible for the first time.
Even if she is the one who lost the child, her heart is full of unwillingness, but Wu Yashi dares to hate everyone, but she dare not hate Kangxi, the person who controls her destiny. Even if she is now left out in the cold, carrying this favored name, quietly waiting for dawn alone, she still can't complain, let alone say, and even happily shows everyone Kangxi's love for her, otherwise she will be crushed into mud by the women of this harem and fall to the bottom.
In addition, what makes Wu Yashi feel even more uneasy is Concubine Zhao, who has not moved, since the other party dares to have a showdown with her, there will inevitably be a backhand, even if she does not dare to do anything because of this superficial favor, but she believes that with Concubine Zhao's temperament, I am afraid it will not be so easy to give up. Now most of the concubines in the harem have more or less stumbling on her, but she has not moved at all, is this because she is too calm, or does she know in advance? Or is all she is suffering now just the emperor is angry for her?
