Chapter 296: Vitality
As the sun sets, the distant sky is surrounded by the glow reflected by the remnant sun, forming large areas of burning clouds, burning the entire sky red, and there is a different kind of beauty from a distance.
Yunxi leaned on the window lattice of the study, quietly looking up to enjoy the magnificent scenery in the distance, and listened casually to Qiaoying talking about all the things that had happened in the palace in the past few days. Because Kangxi's expression when he arrived at the palace was not good, whether it was the servants in the palace or the slaves accompanying him, they didn't even dare to breathe. For a while, the whole palace was quiet, it may be that Yunxi was favored, and they changed their ways to please her, so that the news from her here came faster than anyone else.
"Niangniang, this queen mother and Yi Concubine, do we really care?" Green Sleeves and Qiaoying came back from outside to inquire about the news, so they reported one after another, and after finishing speaking, Green Sleeves looked at Yunxi, who had been silent for a long time, and couldn't help but ask more.
Yun Xi didn't answer immediately when he heard this, but just smiled faintly and said, "Can this kind of thing be managed? The Queen Mother and Yi Concubine are not something I can give, let alone something I can stop." The example of the Empress Dowager is in front of them, if they know how to be proportionate, the emperor will definitely treat them kindly, if they lose their proportions, then they will really have to endure all the hardships and complain about others. β
There is no so-called peaceful coexistence in this harem, everything is just a faΓ§ade of balance of interests. The women in the harem have always taken the phoenix seat as the highest goal, and Yunxi is also a woman, so naturally she has longed for this, but she doesn't want to take the burden of responsibility on herself anymore, and how many queens in the past dynasties can have a good death? She didn't dare to take the future of a few children to win this so-called high position, so she chose to walk slowly and steadily, but by mistake, she actually took advantage of Kangxi's shareholder wind to become a concubine all the way. What is the concubine above - the concubine, the imperial concubine, and even the queen. She is already a concubine, and she doesn't want to be the last, so she can only slow down at the right time, so as not to hurt herself by stepping too much.
"Niangniang means no matter what, let them do it, but Niangniang, they really want to make a move, it may be aimed at you or a few little brothers, if we wait passively, what if we really want to be fooled?" Qiaoying didn't have green sleeves to hold her breath, so when she heard Yunxi's words, she immediately asked puzzled.
Yunxi looked at Qiaoying, who was more anxious than herself, and couldn't help but reach out and nod her white and smooth forehead, and said with a smile: "If it's really so easy to be fooled, then I can only blame myself for being careless and not taking precautions." "Many things are made by themselves, whether they are good or bad are the cause and effect of their own request, she doesn't blame others, just like in the previous life, she gritted her teeth with hatred, but in this life, she still let Yunqi and them go, and let them face the life they chose - self-inflicted consequences.
Green Sleeves has always been a little wary of Qiaoying, just because she is the person who the emperor puts on the surface, and she will spread the news about her mother's side. But now that she thinks about her mother in everything, she suddenly thinks that maybe she is not as annoying as she thinks.
"Niangniang, what Qiao Ying said also makes sense, after all, there are only a thousand days to be a thief and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, this time the prince came to the door, although it turned out to be a good thing in the end, but the people who secretly instigated it before were not well-intentioned, even if Niangniang didn't want to take the initiative to find trouble, but she couldn't be bullied like this. Green Sleeves glanced at Qiaoying, very honestly.
Yunxi looked at the green sleeves that looked at his eyes, not only was he not angry, but on the contrary, he said with a funny face: "What do you say about bullying or not bullying, in this harem, either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind, I can't guarantee that I will always be so favored, let alone the future of several children in the future, so I leave a line for others in everything, that is, I hope that when others are in power, they will also leave a trace for me and my children...... Life. β
Green sleeves and Qiaoying heard this, and Qi Qi was silent, after all, they can't guarantee that the emperor's heart will always be on their own mother, even if the emperor treats his mother in everything special, but isn't the former Wei Guiren special? Although the emperor has nothing to plan for her, he also plans a lot for her, who can guarantee that there will be no more beauties in the emperor's eyes in the future.
Yunxi didn't say anything when she saw them, she didn't say much, all she wanted was for them to understand the meaning of her words, after all, ordinary men still have a thousand reasons to mess with flowers, not to mention the emperor who may have all the beauties in this world without any reason: "You don't have to be too pessimistic, some things I just want to prevent in advance, after all, this beauty can't withstand the years of time." β
"Niangniang......" Green Sleeves and Qiaoying glanced at each other, looking at Yunxi, who had seen things very thoroughly, and the two didn't know what to say.
Originally, this daughter's family had a hard life, if she didn't love it, her life would be even more difficult, although they had few choices, but they really followed the right master, and the days were not so sad, but marrying a man was different, it seems that whether it was married right or wrong, this life was not so good, after all, there were a few men who did not take concubines these years.
"Well, it's not as bad as you think. Yunxi didn't continue to say, although her words were from the bottom of her heart, but half of them were half-said, after all, there were some things she didn't dare to declare, not to prevent Qiaoying, but not to cause misunderstanding, after all, the existence of relatives is a big problem in itself, as long as the emperor will be jealous, Kangxi is no exception.
The three queens of Kangxi in the previous life not only did not please themselves, but their mother's family also had no good fruits to eat. If there is no brother and younger brother, Yunxi is very willing to get used to the lawlessness of the Suoluo family, and finally the tragedy ends, but unfortunately she has people who have to care, and they all begin to emerge one by one, if no one is in front of them, they will definitely not be able to please in the future, she doesn't want to be a little famous, and even the brother and the younger brother will be affected.
Just as the master and servant were pondering, a high-pitched voice suddenly came from outside - the emperor arrived, Yunxi came back to her senses and stood up immediately, but unfortunately no matter how fast she was, she was not as fast as Kangxi's movements. Seeing that Kangxi had already come in, Yunxi couldn't help but greet him, and was about to salute when Kangxi helped him up, "I said that you don't have to worry about the rules in everything in private. β
Yunxi smiled, and didn't say anything to Kangxi about the courtesy, but just let him hold his hand and sit down in the room. In the past two days, because of the relationship between the first arrival at the palace, Kangxi had to spend a lot of time to contact the princes of various Mongolian departments in addition to repairing, no, it should be said that while contacting the feelings, he also had to test and deter them, so that they did not dare to easily move other thoughts.
Of course, Kangxi has all kinds of ideas, and the Mongolian ministries are not as honest as they seem, they also have various ideas, just to see who has the higher means and who can make this idea happen.
"Didn't the emperor send someone to say that he couldn't come here today? Why did he suddenly come over again? Did Yinzhen and the others make trouble for the prince?" Yunxi took the tea brought by the green sleeves and handed it to Kangxi, with a chuckle on the corner of his mouth, his eyes swept the sunset outside the window, and his face was gentle.
No matter what happened to Kangxi, Yunxi was smart and only found the reason in himself and his children, so that even if a few children really did something wrong, for the sake of her humility, Kangxi would not be able to find the child directly. After all, the crown prince is the prince, and he is Kangxi's most satisfactory heir so far, she will not be stupid to let Kangxi choose who is important at this time, this can't be compared at all, just like a woman wants a man to choose who is more important than his mother or her, knowing that there is an unsolvable problem, but she wants to highlight her own importance, isn't this boring?
Sometimes it is important to be self-aware, Yunxi doesn't feel that she has any great ability, so she never thinks highly of herself, so she knows how to put herself in the right position, so that even if she doesn't have that saving power, Kangxi will spoil her, but he won't give her this rare trust.
Kangxi gently scraped the tea foam on the tea water with the lid of the tea cup, took a sip, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly with a pleasant arc: "Trouble? The fourth child is a good child, how can he cause trouble to the prince, but the prince has the fourth child with them, and he is more like a child." Although I have high requirements for the crown prince, it doesn't mean that I don't want to watch him grow up happy. β
He is currently young and strong, and naturally he will not want someone to replace him, so although he will feel relieved that the prince behaves well, he will faintly feel a hint of threat, just like now, with a little childishness, it means that he is still just a child, and no matter how good his performance is, he needs to be protected by his Amma. On the contrary, the Mongolian tribes looked respectful and harmless on the surface, and secretly made small movements, if he hadn't been prepared, I am afraid that he would have to be forced by these people to stuff a few women on this trip.
Yunxi didn't say that she understood Kangxi thoroughly, but she could also guess Kangxi's thoughts, she knew that the man in front of her was by no means an emotional person, although he would hesitate because of his feelings, but in the end he would still focus on the overall situation, otherwise he would not easily show his dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother. It can be said that his every move is meaningful, otherwise how could he easily show his attitude.
Of course, Kangxi also needs the empress dowager to show his filial piety, otherwise he will never tolerate the empress dowager again and again. It's a pity that the Queen Mother hasn't understood it until now, otherwise she should continue to be silent, instead of summoning this and that like in the past two days!
To put it bluntly, the empress dowager is an excuse for Kangxi to prepare to gather imperial power, and there are too many small actions of the Mongolian ministries, and they have been grasping the past exploits, always thinking that without them, the Qing Dynasty would die! If the Qing Dynasty really did not stand up, but the fact is that the Qing Dynasty was erected early in the morning, and it was slowly expanding in the hands of Kangxi, so it can be said that the foundation has been laid, even if the Mongolian ministries want to make trouble, the Qing Dynasty is not afraid to meet them.
Of course, this is the worst-case scenario, but according to Yunxi's opinion, it is not yet time for the two sides to fight.
