Chapter 171: Please Calm the Storm (1)
Su Malagu looked at the empress dowager's stubborn expression, and sighed secretly in her heart, she could understand her own thoughts, but she didn't want her to repeatedly contradict the emperor because of this.
Moreover, the concubines in the palace, whether they are dead or alive, Su Malagu has no special preferences, she has always been a cold bystander, and occasionally she has an eye, but she just mentions a few words on the possible situation, and she will not care about it no matter how much she has. The only exception is probably Concubine Zhao, but unfortunately she has a good impression of Concubine Zhao, but her family is favored because of Concubine Zhao, and she wants to deal with it again and again.
The Empress Dowager didn't know what Su Mala was thinking, as if she had thought of something, and ordered in a cold voice: "Su Ma, the emperor is still the same as before during this time, only favoring Wei and Zhao Concubine?"
Su Malagu came back to her senses and hurriedly replied: "It's still the same people as before, Wei Chang is still the one who has served the most times, followed by Zhao Concubine, but during this time, there are many low-ranking newcomers who have been turned over." ”
When the Empress Dowager heard this, her expression softened slightly, thinking that what she said had an effect, "Finally, the emperor still takes the words of the mourning family to heart, otherwise there will always be so many favored in this harem, and who else can open up branches for the royal family." However, compared to those low-ranking concubines, the mourning family would rather the emperor favor those with good family backgrounds. ”
Su Malagu said in a low voice, although she knew that the Empress Dowager's words were just talking, but the harem concubines themselves existed for the emperor, and in the end, it was the emperor's preferences, if the Empress Dowager kept interfering, the emperor would definitely not follow the Empress Dowager's wishes, which was not difficult to see his determination from the emperor's alienation of the Empress Dowager.
She can see this situation clearly, but the Empress Dowager is unwilling to face it, so that the relationship between their grandparents and grandchildren is getting worse and worse, she has the intention to adjust, but the Empress Dowager or the emperor are unwilling to cooperate, so she can only hope that God will show her spirit, and not let the relationship between their grandchildren continue to deteriorate.
"Also, the next draft has been prepared, this time the mourning family not only has to pick a few chess pieces that can balance Zhao Concubine and them, but also has to think about getting the emperor to agree to choose Horqin's show girl to enter the palace. Su Ma, you send the letter back, let Horqin pay more attention to it, and cultivate people for the mourning family, even if you can't make the emperor fall in love, at least you can get a man in one fell swoop after accepting the favor. A hint of shrewdness flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes, no matter how long she lived, she would not be able to let the Emperor and Korqin have a separation, and the only thing that could strengthen the relationship between them was nothing more than blood.
She, the old woman, can't tie up the emperor, so the rest can only start with the heirs, otherwise it will not be so easy to wait until she is a hundred years later, and then want to hold this thread.
With such thoughts, the Empress Dowager inevitably couldn't sit still. If she was just watching from the sidelines before, sitting and watching the harem fight, in order to find the opportunity, then now that she has the answer and a sense of urgency, she naturally has to re-focus on the favored concubines such as Concubine Zhao.
Before, she just wanted to see what the emperor was selling, whether she was really tired of Wu Ya or fake angry, but now she was really dissatisfied, otherwise why did she choose to continue knowing that such a favor would make Wu Ya's life sad. Seeing that Wu Ya's family was proud from the beginning and now is seriously ill in bed, the Empress Dowager happily crossed Wu Ya's from the list she wanted to woo.
But thinking that the day of the draft was approaching day by day, it was impossible for her to completely forget her original intention even if she watched the show coldly, so she realized that Wu Ya's affairs had begun to come to an end, and with a wave of her hand, she resumed the cancellation of a few days.
Yunxi is pregnant, naturally it is impossible to fall into a fight at will, everything can be avoided, plus some things at hand, she basically will not take the initiative to take the initiative, as for Wu Yashi, according to the news that came back, not only is she getting sicker and sicker, but it seems that the body that was already injured has deteriorated more completely, even if she recuperates in the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get pregnant. Yunxi did not comment on this matter, after all, many things have turns, inside and outside the palace, there are so many secret recipes, no one can guarantee that there will be no miracles, so as long as Wu Yashi does not die, she will not withdraw the gaze placed on her.
Contrary to the gradual silence of the Wu Ya clan is Wei Chang's road to favor that is slowly recovering, although Yunxi knows that all of Kangxi's actions are for everyone in the harem to see, and Wei Changzai's scenery is just a favored name for nothing, but Yunxi still can't help but pay attention to Wei Changzai.
Kangxi is a man with many sons and grandchildren, his descendants can be said to be the most among the Qing emperors, although Yunxi did not live long in her last life, but according to her understanding of the previous life and the information she got in that civilized era, even if not all of them remember, but they also know that there are a lot of people, especially the famous 'Nine Dragons Succession' makes her remember it vividly, and she will unconsciously think of their Eniang.
Except for the sixth elder brother born to Yunxi, the fate of the other elder brothers has not changed much, this time she is pregnant again, if it is Gege, it will be fine, but if it is an elder brother, then will the 'eighth elder brother' and 'ninth elder brother' be born by Wei Changzai and Yi Concubine, or will she give birth to one of them?
Compared with Yi Concubine, who originally gave birth to the ninth elder brother, Yunxi paid more attention to Wei Changzai, who gave birth to the eighth elder brother, after all, even if this person has only been a name recently, who can guarantee that the emperor has really not favored her once. Thinking that the emperor was so guarded at the beginning, it was not the same as letting Wei Changzai succeed, although the result was not very good, but it can be proved from the side that Wei Changzai was not as weak and helpless as he appeared on the surface.
There are so many concubines in the harem, most of them have the power and means to survive until now, even if they have a temperament like Concubine Tong, they haven't lived to the present, not to mention Wei Chang, who has been waiting carefully from the beginning to take advantage of the loopholes.
Speaking of pampering, even if Yunxi knows how to suppress and restrain her feelings, she still can't help but feel uncomfortable, after all, Kangxi is not just an inconsequential stranger to her, but her husband, her child's Amma, they may not be able to make friends, but they will continue to influence each other.
Before Yunxi could summarize the results, he heard that the Empress Dowager, who had been silent for a long time, took the initiative to resume the morning and dusk final trial, which made Yunxi feel surprised and clear. She always knew that the Empress Dowager would not be silent like this, but she didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
It's no wonder that Yunxi thinks so, the attitude of the Queen Mother before shows that there are not many people in this harem who can enter her eyes, and Yunxi is not among them, even if she shows favor to Yunxi abnormally, Yunxi will not be stupid to think that the Queen Mother has found out her goodness. And as long as she counts the time, she knows what the Queen Mother is running for.
It's just that she is pregnant at this time, in order to hide the news, she must be the same as before, without showing any traces, but an old fox like the Queen Mother, if she really wants to hide it, I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort.
Outside Cining Palace, the concubines who got the news gathered here early, and most of the concubines who came over were high-ranking concubines, but even so, they were still arranged according to their status, but they were different from the previous quiet, and the concubines who had not come to ask for peace for a long time gathered together in groups of three or five, whispering, while not stopping their eyes drifting to the palace gate of Cining Palace, secretly wondering about the Empress Dowager's intention to restore the invitation to peace.
It's not that there's anything wrong with the Empress Dowager resuming her invitation, but that so many things have happened in the palace, but the Empress Dowager has uncharacteristically not intervened, and now there is a sudden move, which will inevitably make people reminiscent.
The sun is getting higher and higher, and when the hour of asking for peace is approaching, two teams of huge color battles came from far and near outside Cining Palace, and they didn't need to look at it to know that it was Concubine Tong and Concubine Niu Colu. The relationship between the two has never been very good, if they are on the same page, even if they are high or low, they have to fight for a priority, and they don't know who is before and who is behind today.
When the color battle stopped outside the gate of Cining Palace, everyone looked at it, and sure enough, they saw Concubine Tong in front and Concubine Niu Colu behind. Just as everyone was waiting for the two to fight, Su Malagu walked out of the hall, and when she saw her, whether it was Concubine Tong or Yunxi, they unconsciously withdrew their gazes, and were neatly arranged according to their positions and prepared to enter the palace to greet the Empress Dowager.
Concubine Tong took the lead today, and she was in a good mood, and when she saw Aunt Su Mala coming out, she didn't say much, and greeted her directly. Seeing this, Concubine Niu Colu no longer stubbornly competed with Concubine Tong for this time, took a few steps forward, said hello to Aunt Su Mala, and then as if she hadn't noticed, she bumped into Concubine Tong and walked to the palace first.
Concubine Tong was knocked squarely, and the moment she looked up, she looked at the departing figure of Concubine Niu Colu, and she was angry, but it was not good to make trouble in the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, her eyes swept over the surrounding concubines, and saw that they looked strange, and her heart was even more angry, but when she heard the voice of the Empress Dowager's arrival, she could only suppress the displeasure in her heart, and stepped forward quickly, ready to say goodbye.
Yi Concubine and the others, who were following Concubine Tong, looked at her appearance, and they all pursed their lips with disdain, sneering in their hearts, they have the ability to fight with Niu Colu Guifei, what is it to put up a fight in front of them!
The palace people in Cining Palace are all well-trained, what should be seen and what should not be seen, they know very well in their hearts, it can be said that as long as they don't make trouble in Cining Palace, they can treat it as if they don't exist.
Even if the empress dowager sitting in the palace doesn't do anything, she can know everything that happens outside, so it can be said that compared to the calm in the palace, she hopes that the water in the harem can be more muddy, so that she has the opportunity to persuade the emperor to accept Horqin's show girl as a concubine.
It's a pity that she thinks well in her heart, but these concubines in the palace are very slippery, and one by one they don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, which makes it difficult to start, but as long as these people are still ambitious, she can use what she has in her hands to lure them into the bait.
