Although the rise of the Suo Yuluo family has attracted the attention of many people, it will not affect the overall situation, and under the connivance of Kangxi, those families who have given birth to other thoughts have begun to accumulate power together, reaching out where they may be extended, not using anything else, just to have more capital to fight for in the future.

In such an atmosphere, Kangxi looked like he was in control, which made Yunxi's eyes look at him with a hint of complexity.

Obviously, they are all things that he has known for a long time, but he really watched Kangxi fiddle with one person after another like a chess piece, and Yunxi's heartless temperament, he couldn't help but suspect that he was also a chess piece in his hand.

At the end of the year in a blink of an eye, just when everyone thought that there was only Niu Colu Guifei in the harem, Kangxi made another will before the palace banquet, sealing Yunxi as a concubine and titled Zhao, which can be said to be the first person in the harem.

Niu Colu Guifei was actually mentally prepared, before Yunxi, she was the first person in the harem, holding the power of the harem, even if Kangxi didn't need to discuss with her, her behavior would reveal something, after all, being promoted to a concubine is not just a matter of will, but what Niu Colu Guifei didn't expect was just a title, let her take a back seat, although this feeling is not good, but she knows in her heart that she can't compete with Concubine Zhao.

There are 3,000 concubines in the harem, those who are favored are not favored, those who have a position and those who have no position, one by one is either fighting for the family, or relying on beauty means, only this Concubine Zhao, no, it should be said that Concubine Zhao Guifei was arranged by the emperor for her all the way. Such a difference is not something that can be surpassed by hard work, not to mention that this Zhao Guifei's scheming methods are no worse than anyone else's.

Niu Colu Guifei took the lead in retreating, and the other people in the harem naturally didn't dare to find Yunxi's unhappiness at this moment, after all, the holy decree had just been issued, if they acted at this time, they would be declaring their dissatisfaction with Kangxi's decision, not to mention making Zhao Guifei unhappy, maybe they would be unlucky first.

At the palace banquet on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Kangxi attended with Yun Xi, a noble concubine, and this move made everyone have to once again set their eyes on Yun Xi, the noble concubine, and even more on the three elder brothers under her name.

Compared with other concubines, most of them have only one elder brother under their knees, and one more is nothing more than a son and a daughter, no one like this Zhao Guifei not only has two sons, but also an elder brother sent by the emperor himself, whether she was born or not, it is her capital under her name, and this kind of capital has also been noticed before, but because the clouds and tides at that time were not so dazzling, so no one acted, but now they are jumping on the branches, but it is a little more unattainable.

The palace banquet was staggered, everyone complimented each other with a smile on their faces, tried and cooperated, Yunxi didn't like this kind of scene, in previous years, she was just sitting and leaving, after all, she was not the protagonist, but this year is different, she became the first person in the harem, even if she is a showman, she has to do it to the end, otherwise a pampered and proud name is afraid that it will be smashed down immediately.

Taking advantage of the free time, Yunxi took the green sleeves to the outside to disperse the smell of wine, and there were not a lot of people coming and going, which made Yunxi's idea of wanting to stay quiet for a while immediately came to naught, and finally had to turn around and go along the corridor to the nearest Jiaotai Palace.

Of course, Yunxi did not go to the Jiaotai Palace, but to breathe a breath of fresh air in the open space between the Qianqing Palace and the Jiaotai Palace, who made the Jiaotai Palace the queen's royal place, if she really broke in at this time, maybe someone would accuse her of coveting the queen, although she never thought of becoming the queen from beginning to end, but who would believe it.

Yunxi was wearing a heavy concubine suit, covered with a red cloak, and a white fox scarf around her neck, the whole person looked beautiful and dignified, but with a woman's charm and touching. Standing under the corridor, looking at the vast white snow, it looks like a scene from a distance, it seems to be real, it seems to be illusory, and it seems to be in a dream.

Niu Colu Guifei Chi Yunxi took a step, she happened to see this scene when she came over, and at the same time she had to admit that it was difficult to have a palace concubine comparable to her beauty in this harem, even if it was the former Wei's, due to her excessive aging caused by grievances and various reasons, her beauty became yesterday's yellow flower, and became people's memories, coupled with the amazing beauty of Yunxi as a comparison, she slowly disappeared into people's memories.

The moment Yunxi turned her head, she saw Niu Co Lu Guifei nodded slightly, although she has not yet been officially canonized, but the holy decree has been issued, which means that the overall situation has been decided, but Niu Co Lu Guifei saw Yun Xi and made a half salute, such a change has to be said to make people feel very adjusted.

Concubine Niu Colu slowly dragged her steps to Yunxi, looked at her red cheeks, and said softly: "Why didn't Niangniang bring more people over, there are many people at the palace banquet, although this place is secluded, no one can guarantee that no one will collide." ”

Yunxi smiled, and looked at the snowflakes that were still floating in the distance: "It's just to come out to sober up, you don't have to be too fanfare, and the mother doesn't have to feel uncomfortable, this identity has changed and changed, we all get along with each other as before, as I once said, as long as it doesn't touch my bottom line, I won't make a move easily." ”

Concubine Niu Colu said with an embarrassed face: "Niangniang, etiquette cannot be abolished, some things are necessary when they exist, let's follow the rules, so as not to be used as a handle in the future." ”

Yunxi smiled self-deprecatingly: "You're right, this harem can't afford to be careless. But now that we've met each other, why don't we take the opportunity to chat!"

"What do you want to talk about?" Concubine Niu Colu glanced at Yunxi, with a little surprise in her eyes, her lips pursed slightly, as if she didn't expect her to suddenly make such a request, after all, they didn't even cooperate with each other, but subconsciously tacitly chose to be convenient with others and themselves.

"Talk about what Niangniang thinks in her heart now, talk about her expectations for the future, anyway, it is to talk about her heart, so as not to accidentally become an enemy inexplicably. Yunxi pursed his lips and smiled, his demeanor without a trace of hostility, and he seemed very close.

Niu Colu Guifei listened to Yunxi's words, her expression was stunned, obviously what Yunxi said just now was more surprising than letting her stay, after all, Yunxi is currently the first person in this harem, and has three sons, and the prosperity of the family is even more unstoppable, and so on, after a while, even if Kangxi canonizes her as the imperial concubine, or even the queen, she will not be too surprised, after all, this harem is the emperor's harem, since the emperor tried his best to regain his own power, it is impossible for him to let others influence the decision of the harem to establish a concubine。

"What did Niangniang say? What can I think in my heart, what the emperor says, I just hope to be able to raise the tenth child well. When he said this, the Niu Colu clan was still a little sincere, but the days of holding power in his hands have been long, and no one is willing to hand it over like this.

Yunxi looked ahead, inhaled a breath of cold air, and his thoughts, which were originally a little chaotic due to the strength of the wine, slowly sobered up, "Niangniang doesn't have to say such kind words to me, although the emperor named me Concubine Zhao, I don't want to change anything!"

Of course, Niangniang doesn't have to do it herself, just a word, and others will think of everything to Niangniang. Concubine Niu Colu smiled, but there was a hint of mockery in her eyes.

Yunxi gathered his cloak, hugged the stove in his arms with both hands, smiled, and said, "Niangniang is serious, if I really have such an idea, then there is no need to stand here and talk to Niangniang." The concubine is still the person in charge of the harem, and the authority in my hands is enough, this time the emperor's sudden canonization is my blessing, but it is not a reason for me to be arrogant, just like Niangniang said, I just hope that the child will grow up well, I think so too. ”

Concubine Niu Colu turned her head to look at Yunxi, and saw her sincere appearance, her cheeks were a little hot, and she seemed to have a little villain's heart, "Haven't you thought about anything else?" Now Niangniang's appearance is still beautiful and very favored, and the emperor is in the prime of life...... Although there will be countless show girls entering the palace in the future, if Niangniang does not stand on a high place, is she not afraid that someone will replace her one day?"

Yunxi smiled slightly, turned her eyes to look at Niu Colu Guifei, and said: "Niangniang thinks that if I stand on a high place, I will be able to guarantee that no one can replace me?

Concubine Niu Colu paused, looking straight at Yunxi, as if she wanted to see her through.

Yunxi continued: "Favor? As Niangniang said, the emperor is the king of a country, and he has countless women, to ask the emperor for long-term favor, and even to ask for this and that, Niangniang thinks, will the emperor give it? Is this possible?"

She thought about it, wanted to live, but unfortunately Kangxi didn't give it, he did spoil her, and also maintained her, and even took the initiative to elevate her many times, but this was not what she thought, but it was the only thing he could give, like this, what else did she ask for, everything was in front of her, if she couldn't see it clearly, she didn't have to fight for other women, Kangxi would be the first to get tired of her!

"You...... Didn't you ever think about it......" Concubine Niu Colu looked into her eyes as bright as stars, and her expression became more and more stunned.

"What have you thought about?" Yun Xi looked at her with a puzzled expression.

As a woman, a woman who has had a crush on Kangxi, whether she is disappointed or desperate, it proves that Kangxi is an attractive man from the side, even if he is not the most handsome, but his tall figure and domineering gestures are enough to attract the attention of others, not to mention these righteous concubines and palace maids in the harem, who is about to run for election outside the palace, who doesn't want to be his only, but the woman he has moved his heart is not moved at all, it turns out that it is not only these poor women who can't be loved, but also Kangxi who has not yet returned to his senses。

Concubine Niu Colu suddenly laughed loudly, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and the unbridled laughter couldn't be hidden, and even laughed to the end, even tears oozed from the corners of her eyes, "Retribution...... It's really retribution......"

It doesn't matter if he is the king of a country, whether he is the true dragon son of heaven, whether he is sincere or not, he can stand on a high place and watch them struggle in this hopeless relationship, but he didn't expect that one day he would be moved by his sincerity but he would not get a response! If he doesn't realize it in this life, it's okay, once he realizes that even if he is the son of heaven, it is difficult to touch a frozen heart, fortunately...... Fortunately, she is not stupid enough to lose her future in order to compete for the limelight at this moment.

"What retribution?" Yunxi raised his eyebrows, looked at her very calmly and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"

"No, Niangniang didn't say anything wrong, I was wrong. Concubine Niu Colu pinched the handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and finally stopped laughing and said: "Since Niangniang has no intention of changing the status quo, then keep this peaceful state and go on, instead of changing the ruthlessness, it is better to let the children grow up peacefully like now." ”

Yunxi nodded, exhaled a breath of cold air slightly, turned her head to look at Niu Colu Guifei and said, "The time for us to come out is not short, and the snow is also heavy, let's go back!" After speaking, she walked forward.

There was a lot of snow in the sky, and the previous thin snow had been covered by this heavy snow, and the original red walls and yellow tiles had long disappeared into the snow. Yunxi walked slowly, out of the corridor, looked at the snowflakes in her hands the moment she raised her hand, and then listened to the footsteps behind her, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, who said she didn't understand, she just didn't want people to see through her had been trapped by love.

Women's attitude towards feelings is never as free and easy as that of men, but when it comes to despair, they are often more decisive than men.

After the palace banquet, Kangxi wanted to speak several times but did not speak, during the New Year, he stayed in Yonghe Palace for a long time, one is to give Yunxi decency, and the other is to test whether Yunxi will change after becoming a concubine, after all, there are too many examples in the past, he can't be careless, and even for a moment he regrets his impulsiveness, but the result makes him very relieved, Yunxi did not mention the matter of making the harem more powerful.

In fact, it is natural for Yunxi to ask this question, after all, she is now the first person in the harem, and this phoenix seal naturally belongs to her custody, but Kangxi wants to balance, so naturally he will not want to change too much, and Yunxi will find Niu Colu Guifei in advance because he understands, as for Kangxi's side, what he did just made Yunxi feel more chilled.

If you can't afford to give something, don't give it, and since you give it, don't worry about it anymore, or even tempt it. People's hearts are the most unbearable temptation, if Yunxi didn't see through Kangxi's thoughts, maybe from now on, she will be Concubine Zhao, but she is no longer a favorite concubine, and the rest is only decent, and there is no favor.

It can be said that such a result is ridiculous, who can imagine that everything in the harem is exchanged for another thing, such as the current tranquility, which she exchanged for feelings and grievances, outsiders only see her scenery, but they don't see the hardships and trembling behind her.
