Chapter 108: Allies
Because of Kangxi's affair for nearly a month, the two times he entered the harem was to the east side hall of Yanxi Palace, how can this not be measured.
No, as soon as the imperial doctor left, the news of Yunxi's pregnancy had spread throughout the harem in just a quarter of an hour, and the empress dowager and the empress dowager were quite happy with the news, even if the empress dowager had other thoughts, but she was still inclined to a noble-born concubine to conceive a royal heir. Moreover, being pregnant means that she can't be favored, for such a long time, she has time to support another favorite concubine to disperse Kangxi's favor for Yunxi and others.
With such an idea, it is naturally impossible for the Empress Dowager to have more plans with Yunxi, a small nobleman.
In Jingren Palace, Wu Yashi had just finished drinking bird's nest when she got such a news, and the whole person was a little stupid, how could this be? She had calculated that she would expose the news that she was pregnant in a few days, so as to contain Concubine Tong and continue to attract the emperor's attention and pity. But who would have thought that this Suo Yuluo clan had only been in the palace for more than two months, and she was pregnant at this moment, and there was also good news from the southwest, such a result made Wu Ya's chest beat and regret it.
knew that there was such an operation, why did she spend so much effort to hide the fact that she was pregnant. What can I do now, with the Suo Yuluo clan in front, she is afraid that she will not get any attention and benefits if she follows closely. In this way, she must think about another good time, at least not to let the Suo Yuluo clan take the lead.
Not to mention Wu Ya's inner unwillingness and calculation, Concubine Tong of the main hall of Jingren Palace is now full of resentment, although she has already embraced the fourth elder brother born to Wu Ya's family, but this is not something that crawled out of her stomach after all, no matter what, she has a trace of regret.
But that's it, she didn't get proud for long. No, Yi Concubine has it, and the Suo Yuluo clan, who has just entered the palace not long ago, also has it, but she can't conceive it.
It's a pity that no one can answer her for this kind of thing, so when the news of Yanxi Palace came, she directly pinched off her beautiful nails, and even the fourth elder brother, who was raised white and fat, could no longer make her feel cute, and even felt particularly eye-catching. After the grandmother left, Concubine Tong raised her hand and directly lifted the tea cup on the table.
Damn! Why are these women in the harem pregnant one after another, one after another, only she can't give birth after so many years, and she can only hold the son born to the clothed slave of the Wu Ya clan, why!
Concubine Tong Guifei lay on the table, her heart was sour, obviously she was the one who loved the emperor's cousin the most, why was she the one the person the emperor's cousin disappointed?
What does Concubine Tong think, no one in the palace pays attention, but Yanxi Palace, which has been quiet for a long time, suddenly became very lively because of Yunxi's pregnancy, but this excitement has nothing to do with Concubine Rong, the main owner. Yunxi herself felt extremely embarrassed, after all, in this harem, except for a little friendship with Concubine Rong in the same hall, the others really didn't even say a few words, let alone anything else. In the words of that civilized era, they are not called getting along, they are called embarrassing chatting, and they are so embarrassed that she doesn't know what to say, and the day after she was in a dilemma, Kangxi turned over the Yuan Guiren brand, and as soon as the news spread, everyone's eyes instantly pulled away from Yunxi.
Compared with others who are pregnant, the women of the harem naturally want to be pregnant, after all, they value their obvious position and heirs more than pampering. If Kangxi doesn't turn over the cards as before, they will naturally rub the heat of Yunxi to see if they can use this to gain Kangxi's favor, but now that Kangxi has re-entered the harem, it is naturally impossible for them to put their minds on Yunxi anymore.
As a result, the originally eye-catching Yunxi was immediately left behind, and Yuan Guiren, who suddenly became the first object of the service, naturally became a thorn in the side of the harem concubines.
When Yunxi got the news, his expression was slightly stunned, and then he returned to normal. She knew from the moment she entered the palace that everything in this palace could be taken seriously, but feelings couldn't. Although Kangxi flipped the cards after a day, this move still made Yunxi feel cold.
Maybe it's because she has experienced such a relationship in a civilized era, and her thinking is no longer as stubborn and conservative as in her previous life, and she even knows how to love herself more than other women. Maybe it's because she lived too much and aggrieved in her last life, so that she distorted her temperament and changed her opinion, so if she didn't get her sincerity in this life, she was afraid that she would never be able to pay for others wholeheartedly like in her previous life.
In the next few days, Kangxi flipped through several concubines' signs in a row, and the originally disrupted pace of the harem began to slowly return to its former calm.
Yunxi doesn't think so, it may be the reason why Kangxi will take half an hour or an hour every day to come over to give prenatal education to the child in her womb, she is closer to Kangxi than others, and she can feel his emotional changes more, maybe because of this, she always feels that all the calm now is like the calm before the storm.
As for the reason, although Yunxi has inquired, there is not much news, which makes Yunxi very concerned, but Kangxi's actions made her feel a little moved. She did have the idea of bringing Kangxi closer to the child in her belly, and she also proposed prenatal education in advance, but if this matter was to be done, she thought that it would take at least a while, and even take some thought, who knew that Kangxi would be so cooperative.
"Mama, did the emperor go to the East Side Hall again?" Concubine Rong listened to the movement outside, and smiled bitterly, now the emperor's favor has been given to these newcomers who have not been in the palace for a long time, and I don't know if the emperor still remembers these old people.
Concubine Rong leaned on the pillow, her eyes looked straight out of the door, and her expression was very lonely. Since Yunxi was diagnosed as pregnant, the excitement of Yanxi Palace no longer seems to have anything to do with her. What about others, Concubine Rong actually doesn't care at all, but she cares about Kangxi's attitude very much, even if she is no longer as favored as before, even Kangxi rarely stays with her, she also hopes that he has her in his heart, and he came to Yanxi Palace just for her, or for her son.
But the fact is that he has long forgotten everything in the past, and every time he comes over, he goes straight to the East Side Palace, and it seems that he has long forgotten that she is the master of the first palace of this Yanxi Palace, and he has forgotten her third elder brother.
"Niangniang, the emperor must be worried that the noble Suo Yuluo is young and does not know how to take care of the child in the belly, so he put more thought into it, after all, the emperor has always attached great importance to the heir. Mama Qiao stood aside, full of worry, lest Concubine Rong get into the horns, and couldn't help but persuade softly.
"Bengu understands that Bengong is just a momentary emotion. Concubine Rong smiled and retracted her gaze, it seemed that it was really just a momentary emotion, but only she knew what she thought in her heart.
Mama Qiao looked at Concubine Rong who was distracted, and couldn't help but open her mouth and said: "If Niangniang really wants to see the emperor, it is better to go to the East Side Palace, anyway, the noble person is young, and there must be a lot of things that he doesn't understand about pregnancy, and it is not impossible for Niangniang to take this past to take a trip." ”
Concubine Rong sat up, glanced vaguely in the direction of the East Side Palace, then lowered her eyelids, and said indifferently: "With the emperor here, even if you really don't understand, it won't be the turn of the palace to speak." Suo Yuluo is a rare smart person, she knows how to use her advantages, and she also knows how to stop in moderation, otherwise, Mama thought that the concubines of this harem would look elsewhere so quickly. ”
The reason why Concubine Rong chose to be friendly with Yunxi was because she was sure that Yunxi would not stop at nobles, and coming to her Yanxi Palace was just a walk, she didn't want to offend such a person, even if she was extremely jealous in her heart, she also tried to press her heart. Because she knew better than anyone that a trustworthy ally was far more cost-effective than a dangerous enemy.
"Concubine Tong is bold enough, her heart is ruthless enough, but she is not very smart, she relies on the identity of the emperor's cousin, if one day she polishes the emperor's tolerance for her mother, then her future life may be more difficult than the palace. Concubine Rong sneered, picked up the tea cup on the side with one hand, and said softly.
Mama Qiao didn't have an interface this time, she naturally knew how stupid Concubine Tong was to do those things, and even the harem concubines watched Concubine Tong die coldly, and from time to time they also added fuel to the fire, not to eliminate her advantages. It's a pity that she is in a hurry for quick success, and always wants to get to the back seat in one fell swoop with that little bit of cousin and cousin's affection, so that she ignores what is the foundation of the harem, and finally ends up in such a situation where she is not embarrassed or embarrassed.
"Niangniang, that's what I said, but we still have to fight for what we should fight, after all, Niangniang still has a third elder brother!" Qiu Xin couldn't help but be a little anxious when she saw that Mama Qiao was silent.
"Don't worry, Suo Yuluo is not Wu Ya, she knows it in her heart!" Concubine Rong knew in her heart that if she wanted to maintain this friendship with Yunxi, then she would not be able to go to the East Side Palace, and if Yunxi really valued this friendship, she would not watch the emperor go elsewhere.
Concubine Rong put down the teacup in her hand, the expression on her face was a little gloomy, no one is born to calculate, but everything they faced forced them to calculate. It's true that she is no longer favored, but she can't give up, she still has a son, a daughter and a family, so no matter what, she has to think about climbing up.
Although Yunxi didn't know Rong Concubine's thoughts, as Rong Concubine said, she didn't want to lose her as an ally. But let Yunxi open his mouth to persuade Kangxi to go to Rong Concubine, Yunxi can't open his mouth, but if the third elder brother is used as an excuse, it is still okay to indirectly send some benefits, as for the rest, it depends on whether Rong Concubine herself can grasp it.
Kangxi still cares about the existing sons, I heard Yunxi say that the third elder brother misses him, and he himself is in Yanxi Palace, from the east side hall to the main hall, it is only a few steps away, yes, Kangxi will also go to Rong Concubine every day or two to sit, and occasionally stay overnight, this move made Qiao Mama and them recognize Rong Concubine's previous decision, and then they also took care of the people in the East side hall.
For a while, the atmosphere in Yanxi Palace seemed extremely harmonious, and even Kangxi praised it several times.
