Chapter 161: Public Wrath (2nd Watch)

The Empress Dowager squinted her eyes, turned her gaze to Kangxi on the side, and muttered in her heart, she always thought that except for Wei and Zhao Concubine, the emperor had always been very fond of this Wu Ya clan, so when she drew up the plan to woo her, Wu Ya was also among the candidates she wooed.

Today, the Tong family changed their reckless style in the past and spoke with rules, and the Empress Dowager was still quite surprised. However, more of a desire to take this opportunity to show favor to Wu Ya's family, but he didn't want to really reach the confrontation between the two sides, but the emperor didn't seem to take Wu Ya's family to heart at all, as if he might abandon her at any time, which made the Empress Dowager hesitate.

Her purpose of wooing Zhao Concubine and others is very simple, as long as she thinks of the draft, it is not difficult to guess her intentions, but even so, she believes that with her means, whether it is Zhao Concubine or Wei's Wu Ya clan and others, it is impossible to refuse herself, so with sufficient choices, the Empress Dowager is not so obsessed with Wu Ya's family.

Seeing Kangxi's indifferent attitude, the Empress Dowager let go of the idea of wanting to be kind to Wu Ya's family, and said in a cold tone: "No one will let you forget, but it is impossible for everything to go your way." It is the palace rule for the concubine to hug the fourth child, and she doesn't want you to see the fourth child, it must be because you have something to do badly!"

When Kangxi heard these words of the Empress Dowager, he rarely remembered the purpose of his visit to Cining Palace today. Although he was angry with Concubine Tong for making a big deal about this matter, Concubine Tong was not wrong, she hugged the old man with his consent, and she was also doing things according to the palace rules.

"What the Empress Dowager said is reasonable, I came to ask you, you said that you have a heart of love for children, then you should know that raising you under your name or raising under your name is more beneficial to the fourth child?"

"This ...... This...... Your Majesty, the concubines just can't resist the longing for Yinzhen in their hearts, Your Majesty!" to Kangxi's questioning eyes, all the righteousness of Wu Ya's family seemed to have turned into weakness and sophistry at this moment.

Kangxi looked at her expression, what else did he not understand, and shook his head slightly disappointed, Kangxi's mood at this moment was still a little complicated. He thought that Wu Yashi was just thinking a lot, and a little dissatisfied, but now it seems that her courage is not small, if it weren't for the fact that there are few concubines in the harem who support the prince Gege, maybe it will cause a big mess because of her actions, "Ai'er will never use it on this, whether you are sincere or false, whether you are pure and sincere or have another purpose, I think you know better than anyone else, of course, I also know!"

He didn't want to think about his former favorite concubine in the bad way, but with Yunxi's words in front and Wu Ya's weak expression in the back, it was difficult for Kangxi, who was already suspicious, not to make up some things that should not be made up because of his past experience.

Speaking of which, what really disappointed Kangxi was not Wu Ya's greed, he was disappointed that Wu Ya had wiped out all the best impressions of her in his heart.

He thought he was a loving mother, but he repeatedly used the child as an excuse to compete for favor, power and status, which is really ......

Wu Yashi looked at Kangxi's face with an uneasy face, seeing that his face was blank, and the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, as if nothing had changed, but she was familiar with Kangxi's expression, but she knew that Kangxi was not as calm as she appeared on the surface, and she didn't even need to continue looking, she also knew that the curvature at the corner of his mouth was not a smile, and his bottomless black eyes were full of coldness.

At this moment, Wu Yashi hated Concubine Tong's nonsense, hated her for not playing cards according to the rules, "Your Majesty, the concubines sincerely admit that they are selfish, but no one is willing to give their children to others, although the palace rules are irreversible, but there is love in the world, if the concubine is willing to be accommodating, everything today will not happen at all." ”

Concubine Tong Guifei looked at Wu Yashi, who was full of lies, and the moment she opened her mouth, she wanted to reprimand her shamelessly, and the corner of her eyes was aimed at Yunxi, who shook her head slightly, she inexplicably suppressed the anger in her heart and the abuse that came to her mouth, and turned to look at Kangxi with an aggrieved face: "Your Majesty, the concubines don't agree with the words of the noble Wuya, although the concubine's behavior of not letting their mother and son meet is indeed domineering, but I haven't seen the noble Wuya say that it is inappropriate before, and I have never seen the noble Wuya as attentive as now." ”

Concubine Hui carefully looked at the faces of the Empress Dowager and Kangxi, and saw that the two of them had a blaming attitude towards Wu Ya's family, and then listened to Concubine Tong's words, and she also agreed with it in her heart. Although she has a big brother by her side, she really doesn't need to raise other people's sons, but as the head of a palace, if the low-ranking concubines in her palace are pregnant, if they are promoted, if not, the child will have to be held to her knees sooner or later.

"Your Majesty, the concubines think that what the concubine Niangniang said is reasonable, the palaces and halls in this palace cannot be the lord of the same palace, this one who gave birth to the prince and brother, is it possible that he hates whoever he holds in his name?

"En......" Kangxi hadn't responded yet, and the queen mother on the side couldn't help but speak, "I shouldn't have intervened in this matter, but listening to this meaning, the mourning family is also the one who creates evil!"

As soon as the Queen Mother's words came out, the people in the main hall of Cining Palace looked at the Queen Mother, and at this time, they remembered that in addition to the high-ranking concubines holding the low-ranking concubines, the Queen Mother also raised the fifth elder brother of Yi Concubine. If it is really like what Concubine Hui said, whoever is raised hates whom, wouldn't it mean that Wu Ya hates Concubine Tong, and Concubine Yi hates the Queen Mother!

Yi Concubine saw that many people's eyes fell on her, and she hated her heart, but she knelt down very neatly on her face, and said in a sincere voice: "The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the concubines have never thought of it like this, and the Queen Mother takes good care of Yinqi, the concubines are very relieved, how can there be resentment!"

said so, but the moment she turned her head, Yi Concubine's eyes scratched Wu Ya's eyes like a knife, and it seemed that she really hated Wu Ya's.

Kangxi turned his head to look at the Queen Mother, and said with a smile: "Huang Eniang, Yi Concubine is so sincere, since she said so, she must also think so, and Huang Eniang has been with Yi Concubine for so long, her personality, Huang Eniang must be sure." Besides, today's matter is small, but the trouble is big, and it can't be let go, and since this palace rule has been formulated, there must be a reason for it, otherwise someone will follow the same example in the future and follow the nonsense, I'm afraid that some people will think that it is connived at by me. ”

Kangxi's increasingly stern tone made everyone in the hall sit up straight unconsciously, only Yunxi rolled his eyes in his heart. Others don't know, she doesn't know yet, Kangxi has no sincerity at all when he says these words, if he really doesn't want this kind of farce to appear again, in addition to quickly clarifying the belonging of the fourth elder brother, he also has the strength to suppress Wu Ya's uneasy and ordinary heart, otherwise it won't be long before Wu Ya's family will definitely make a comeback.

When the Empress Dowager saw Kangxi talking about this, her eyes narrowed slightly, although she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't think of what was going on for a while? Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thinking of the belonging of the fourth elder brother, and her hands clasped together stiffened slightly. If Concubine Tong Guifei succeeds in the idea of the fourth elder brother today, she can't let her achieve it easily, after all, the Tong family is not small, and it is the emperor's mother's family, and it is already the emperor's grace to be allowed to take the position of concubine, and if she thinks about anything else, no matter what the emperor thinks, it is impossible for her to agree.

The Empress Dowager is old and refined, she has been up and down in the harem for so many years, what kind of means have not been seen, Wu Ya's careful thinking she knows very well, but because it has nothing to do with herself, she ignores it and lets it develop, who knows that a careless move actually made the Tong family crooked and picked up such a big bargain, which made the Empress Dowager feel annoyed At the same time, she could only follow the words of Hui Concubine, after all, if she refuted, it would be the words of the Empress Dowager and Yi Concubine. Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager's tone was no longer as calm as before, and she seemed a little rushed: "This matter really has to be dealt with well, since the emperor also thinks it is not good, then he will make an example of the monkey, and give the person who made the mistake a little bit of a good look, so that not all her mistakes can be escaped with a word." ”

Kangxi was annoyed by the Empress Dowager's words, he didn't want to admit that he had a problem with his vision, but the Empress Dowager's words and the existence of Wu Ya's clan all proved that he was indeed fooled by the woman he favored.

"Huang Ma Ma is right, this matter really can't be revealed, in this case, in order not to cause unnecessary disputes, I decided to pass the fourth child to the Tong family. In this way, she is the fourth child's mother, and no one can say a word of no. When Kangxi gritted his teeth and said this, he thought in his heart that he would do something to bring the disrupted forces of the court and harem back into balance.

"Hiss-" Listening to Kangxi's words, everyone unconsciously gasped, no one thought that Kangxi would finally directly pass on the fourth elder brother to Concubine Tong's name!

Most of the concubines here rely on their heirs to ascend to the throne, and it can be said that if there is a son, there will be a talisman, as long as he does not do anything angry and resentful, he will have the glory of this life. With an identity like Concubine Tong, there is another son, even if it is a successor, but as long as he is on the jade, it is no different from his own birth!

Wu Ya's face turned pale, and he sat on the ground with his eyes wandering, and only after a long time did he shout in a sad tone: "Your Majesty, you can't do this! Even if the concubine is selfish, even if she has calculations, she just wants to be close to Yinzhen, and she doesn't have bad intentions! But now the emperor's ......" touched Kangxi's smiling look and cold eyes, Wu Yashi only felt that his scalp was numb, his heart was cold, and his mind turned sharply, and he hurriedly said: "Please also ask the emperor to be gracious, and the concubine promises not to get close to Yinzhen without the permission of the concubine Niangniang in the future...... No, it's the fourth elder brother, and I ask the emperor to be gracious!" While speaking, Wu Yashi kept kowtowing to Kangxi, with an expression of 'as long as he agrees' to revoke this decision, she can do anything.

Seeing her like this, Kangxi not only lost his previous unbearability in his heart, but became more determined in his thoughts, rather than letting his son live a miserable life because of the fight between two women, it was better to be direct and give everyone a happy time: "I said a long time ago that as long as you do your duty, I will give what you should give, but you disappointed me." ”

Kangxi's tone was calm without a trace of emotion, but the words he said made Wu Yashi can't help but feel a chill down her spine, she thought that she had calculated everyone's reaction, but she didn't expect that in the end, not only did she get nothing, but she really lost her son.

"Your Majesty, isn't it okay for the concubine to be wrong?" Wu Yashi sighed, compared to the beautiful crying appearance before, she was really sad at this time.
