Chapter 172: Please Calm the Storm (2)

After the concubines entered the palace, under the leadership of Concubine Tong and Concubine Niu Colu, they all asked the Empress Dowager for peace.

The Empress Dowager sat above, her eyes swept over the concubines below, and when she saw them dressed up in a decent manner, a trace of satisfaction flashed in her eyes, and her expression became a lot easier.

The moment the leading Concubine Tong and Niu Colu raised their heads, they touched the satisfied look in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, and thought it was aimed at themselves, and they were a little proud in their hearts for a while, and the moment they turned their heads to look at each other, sparks flew everywhere, but they didn't know that it was their state that really satisfied the Empress Dowager.

"Sit down!" The Empress Dowager said lightly, and all the concubines sat or stood in their own positions according to their words, although it was a period of time, but before Kangxi did not promote the position of any of them, it was impossible for this position to change in a short period of time.

Before, the concubines in the harem looked at Kangxi's special treatment of Wu Ya's family, and they were all afraid that Kangxi would promote Wu Ya's family because of this, so they desperately calculated and suppressed her one by one, and later looked back and knew Kangxi's true intentions, these people still didn't stop, they just wanted to reduce an enemy, after all, compared to many concubines, Wu Ya's family was at least too favored, and this alone made these people unable to let go, after all, no one could guarantee that she would not turn over one day.

Yunxi sat in her position with a calm expression, as if she was listening carefully to the Empress Dowager and others, but in fact, the corner of her eyes was looking back and forth at the concubines in the palace. Although the days are still shallow, she can't tell if she is pregnant at all, but she has doubts in her heart, so she naturally wants to take the opportunity to find answers.

Wei Chang is also here today, and at this time she is honestly standing behind Hui Concubine, seeing that her figure does not seem to have changed, but thinking that she was pregnant from Kangxi's eyes before, Yunxi hated to go up directly and ask why, but she knew in her heart that even if she asked, Wei Chang would not be able to tell her the answer.

Wei Chang noticed Yun Xi's gaze, smiled with a slightly flattering expression, and moved his body back slightly, obviously afraid that Yun Xi would focus on her like everyone else. During this time, she looked at the scenery, but in fact, she couldn't say it, even if she was careful not to come out, there are still many people in this palace who are eyeing her, and then thinking about the fate of Wuya nobles and the child in her belly that she finally conceived, she is determined not to rise again, after all, the previous calculation has made her suffer, this time she does not dare to venture again.

Yunxi saw Wei's actions, and then he realized his gaffe, retracted his gaze on Wei's body, and swept around the others, but he didn't see anyone pregnant, and his originally somewhat messy mind became even more chaotic.

If the result could be determined, Yunxi might be more at ease, but like now, she is even more worried. After all, the Empress Dowager has reached this status, and it is the norm to turn her face ruthlessly, if someone can distract the Empress Dowager, she thinks that her life will be much better, but unfortunately things do not seem to be as she thinks, which makes her regret that she couldn't discuss the public time with Kangxi before.

The Ping An pulse or something is generally on a fixed day, even if you refuse, it doesn't matter if you do it once or twice, it will inevitably attract attention if you have more times. Although there is Kangxi's order, the imperial doctor will not talk much, but once someone notices that something is wrong, she and the child in her belly are still dangerous.

However, now she can only choose to continue to conceal it, doesn't it mean that there are still tall people on top of the sky when the sky falls? What's more, the emperor has already chosen to stand on her side, and even if the empress dowager wants to calculate, it will have to see whether the emperor agrees first.

Just when Yunxi relaxed and set up a posture to continue to mix time, the Empress Dowager, who was originally talking to the two concubines, suddenly turned to Yunxi, "Concubine Zhao also took the sixth elder brother to this Cining Palace to sit when she has time." As he spoke, he turned to look at Concubine Tong and the others: "The Cining Palace of the Mourning family is deserted, if you have time, you will bring your brothers over and talk to the Mourning family." ”

Although the Empress Dowager included all the elder brothers, the concubines present heard it, and the Empress Dowager's words were addressed to Concubine Zhao, and the others were just incidental. But because of their identity, even if others are dissatisfied, it is impossible to show it on the surface, and they even have to laugh and agree.

Yunxi listened to the sound of the swallow warbler in the hall, was in a trance for a moment, and then came back to his senses and responded softly, but he didn't have the slightest idea of taking the initiative to bring Fubao to Cining Palace. Who knows what kind of idea the Queen Mother has, if she wants to use the child to contain her, she is afraid that she will not even dare to resist.

The Empress Dowager looked at Yunxi, who was hanging her head and looking honest, and her heart was uneasy, she wanted to open this mouth in addition to winning over Concubine Zhao, and she was beating her more. The day of the draft is getting closer and closer, the emperor comes to her Cining Palace less and less, and the time she stays is getting shorter and shorter, it is difficult for the ancestors and grandchildren to speak their hearts like before, and naturally her request can no longer be easily exported as before, so just in case, in addition to using her family affection to impress the emperor, she also has to use her power to let Zhao Concubine and others be used by her.

Seeing that Concubine Zhao was honest, the Empress Dowager's expression eased slightly, and then she looked at the others.

Yunxi was amused when she saw it, just such an obvious thought, the Empress Dowager still deceived herself and wanted them to blow the pillow wind, it was really funny! If she really had such a strong determination, it would be good to ask Kangxi directly. However, it is impossible for Yunxi to pronounce these words, after all, the Empress Dowager she can't afford to provoke for the time being, at least before she and Kangxi are directly confronted, she has to honestly pretend to be weak until she sits firmly in the fetus, no, she should give birth to this child peacefully.

Since the Empress Dowager has the intention to win over and beat the concubines present, but all those with high positions or special favors will not be missed, although she did not name them one by one, the words she could say made everyone understand her intentions. For a while, the expressions on the faces of all the concubines looked a little embarrassed, especially Wei Changzai, who had been turned over but had not been favored for a long time, was pale, obviously she knew better than anyone that she couldn't complete the task if she couldn't see Kangxi, and if she wanted to complete the task, she would offend Kangxi, which could be said to be a two-sided flattering thing.

None of the concubines present were happy, obviously they didn't want to make Kangxi angry because of the Queen Mother, after all, not everyone would be like Yi Concubine who couldn't distinguish between priorities and priorities.

The Empress Dowager took a sip of tea elegantly, her eyes swept over the concubines present, with her current status and current situation, it is obviously not suitable to win people's hearts by means of grace, then the best way is to use the softest way to make the emperor agree to her request, but to deal with these concubines, a certain amount of majesty and high pressure is still necessary, after all, in the future, when the show girl of Horqin enters the palace, she will have to help her gain a firm foothold in the harem, and even ascend to the back seat.

The Queen Mother sat aside, there was no squeak from beginning to end, obviously she knew the Queen Mother's thoughts, but she was used to listening to the Queen Mother in everything, even if she felt that there was a problem, she would not raise it in person, so not only was she used to being an invisible person, but even the concubines present were used to ignoring her existence.

When the invitation ended, Concubine Tong still left before Concubine Niu Colu, but compared to the previous pride, at this time she was full of jealousy and resentment, dissatisfied with the partiality of the Empress Dowager, but she was helpless about it, and in the end she could only embarrass herself.

The concubines who followed her all looked absent-minded at this time, and there was not only one person who wanted to come to the empress dowager to ask for embarrassment, but also everyone else.

Yunxi glanced at Concubine Rong who had something to say, slowed down, and asked in a low voice, "Sister Concubine Rong, but what do you want to ask me?"

Recently, because of the matter of raising a fetus, Yunxi not only rarely goes out of Yonghe Palace, but even sees Rong Concubine and others very rarely, almost to the point of not seeing, it is normal for Rong Concubine to have something to say, after all, a lot of things have happened in the harem recently, whether it is to inquire or to be reminded, there is still a need to exchange news between the two of them.

Concubine Rong nodded, and said in a low and soft voice: "Wei Chang in Concubine Hui's palace hasn't been washed recently, and I guess she's pregnant again." ”

"What? Is the news accurate?" Yunxi was taken aback, although she had doubts, she had never been sure, and now that she suddenly got the answer, she couldn't believe it.

If this news is true, then Wei's pregnancy must be the eighth elder brother, but I don't know when she was pregnant, does Kangxi know? Although she will feel uncomfortable in her heart, she also knows that even if the person who is pregnant this time is not Wei's, it will be someone else, but thinking of what she thought was the only pet before, she felt a little ridiculous in her heart.

Concubine Rong saw that Yunxi's face turned red and pale, thinking that she was uncomfortable, and couldn't help patting her hand and said: "This news is basically true, but even so, I think the emperor must not know, and even if Wei Chang is giving birth to this child, it is not a good thing for me to look at it, maybe the gains outweigh the losses." ”

What kind of temperament does Kangxi have? Rong Concubine, who has been with him for so many years, still has some understanding, since the last time Wei Chang was suddenly pregnant and had a miscarriage, it can be seen that the emperor is so beautiful and wants face, within the scope of what he can tolerate, he must be very happy to spoil Wei Changzai, but Wei Chang is more and more restless in this chess piece, and he is afraid that he can't tolerate it according to his temperament, but I don't know if Wei Chang can keep the piece of meat in her belly this time? If she can't keep it, she thinks that she will not have a chance to get pregnant in the future, after all, there are many beauties in this palace, even if there are few people who are out of the picture, but it is not nothing, and this one next to her is one of them.

"Sister Rong Concubine, don't worry, I'm not unhappy about this, in fact, we all know in our hearts that even if it is not Wei Chang who is pregnant this time, it will be someone else, if you really want to be angry, I am afraid that you will not be angry. Yunxi pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "What really worries me is the intentions of the Queen Mother, her purpose is very clear, and she used to know to cover up one or two, but this time it is directly on the surface, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to deal with it." ”

Concubine Rong turned her head, glanced coldly at Cining Palace not far away, and sneered in her heart, "Is it difficult to deal with, it is already here, and the most important thing now is to determine the emperor's intentions." ”
