Chapter 324: Human Affection
Yunxi's days after arriving at Huangzhuang are really simple, she doesn't have to make a final trial in the morning and dusk every day, she doesn't have to manage the affairs of the harem, and she doesn't have to spend time trying to please Kangxi, at this time, she temporarily put down the burden on her shoulders and lived her own small life leisurely. Yinzhen and the three of them seem to be really fine when they see Yunxi, and the child's playful nature has come out again, although the three little ones will not let go of themselves directly, but they are much more lively than the previous dullness.
Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, she was worried that her injury would leave an unnecessary shadow on the three children, just two days after arriving in Huangzhuang, seeing the three children who acted cautiously, Yunxi couldn't help but feel distressed in her heart, but this is also a matter of no way, who let her choose the rescue but unfortunately did not calculate the good time!
It takes luck to do anything, Yunxi never refutes this, it's just that things were too smooth before, so that her heart swelled a lot, otherwise she wouldn't have run out to be this up-and-coming bird without the ability to protect herself. Fortunately, Kangxi appeared in time, otherwise her little life would have really been explained in that mountain forest.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and Yun Xi, who has changed into a heavy fur coat, looks at the sunny day that he has finally waited for, and makes people shake the beauty couch to the courtyard, drinking tea and basking in the sun.
Green Sleeves looked at Yunxi with a comfortable face, and the smile on the corner of his mouth unconsciously deepened. Since returning to Beijing, the imperial doctor has formulated several recuperation plans, from eating to bathing, to how many steps to walk every day, everything has been planned, and everything has been accompanied by someone, which can be said to have remarkable results.
"Niangniang, this is a letter sent by Prince Gong, saying that it was written to you by the emperor. Qiao Ying hurriedly ran in from outside, her face flushed, thinking it was caused by a trot.
Yunxi's originally closed eyes slowly opened, and the moment he raised his hand, he took the letter in Qiaoying's hand, and slowly opened it, and what came into his eyes was Kangxi's familiar handwriting. It has been more than three months since Kangxi and Junggar started the war, from autumn to winter, the snow has fallen one after another, and compared to the capital, it is obviously colder on the grassland, but the war is not over, and Kangxi naturally cannot come back.
The content of this letter is actually not much, the process of the war was not written, but the results of the war were written one by one, and the rest was Kangxi's monologue, with a trace of care, a trace of attachment and a trace of imperceptible lovesickness.
Yunxi looked down word by word, originally she thought that she had already stopped thinking about this relationship, but the fact is that she still misses him, whether it is love or family affection, anyway, she is looking forward to him coming back safely, as for the emotions shown by Kangxi, Yunxi doesn't want to speculate more, let alone want to know how much sincerity is contained in it, she only knows that if this sincerity moves, it will never be recovered.
"Niangniang, but the emperor is coming back in triumph?" Lu Luo looked at Yunxi, who had not spoken for a long time, and couldn't help but ask.
Yunxi came back to his senses, his eyes slightly swept the green pothos and the long-awaited green sleeves and Qiaoying, and said in a light tone: "No." According to the letter, it may take some time for this battle to be completely completed, which means that the emperor may not return to Beijing for the New Year this year, so we have to prepare, in case the queen mother wants to force me to return to the palace, we should also be prepared. ”
From the day she arrived at the Huangzhuang, everything seemed to be calm, but in fact, the hidden piles ambushed by other people in the Huangzhuang moved one after another, and all kinds of small actions continued, in order to want Yunxi's life, if it weren't for Yunxi's caution, I am afraid that he would have survived until now. But with so many means, Yunxi only relies on the people around him, more than enough to protect himself, and he is powerless to fight back, even if Prince Gong, who occasionally comes over, has been releasing kindness, Yunxi does not dare to accept it easily.
From the beginning of entering the palace to the present, Yunxi has indeed received help from many people, but it is more calculating, now she is no longer as worthless as before, nor is she as fearless as the ignorant before, with the tie, she acts more carefully, does not dare to make mistakes, and does not dare to trust others easily. Prince Gong, as a person who was related to her in the previous life, can also be said to be the person who indirectly harmed her life, she actually doesn't want to get too close, but she knows in her heart that whether it is Prince Gong or Prince Yu, as long as she can win over, it will be a great help for her and her children, especially when her mother's family is weak, but she does not dare to easily get involved with these people.
If you want to maintain a relationship with people inside and outside the palace, you have to have enough benefits, Yunxi doesn't think that she can give these people enough benefits now? Since she can't, then she better not approach easily, so as not to give trust in exchange for betrayal.
Green Sleeves and the others didn't know that Yunxi had thought so many questions in just a moment, and at this time, their faces became a little solemn after listening to Yunxi's words. Although the matter was resolved by the crown prince and others, as long as the queen mother was not dead and the emperor failed to return to Beijing, then she had to be prepared to deal with it.
"Niangniang, if the queen mother still doesn't give up, do you want to pretend to be seriously ill directly, after all, your injuries are real, and your recuperation is also true, and with the prince and them to help you deal around, there should be no big problem!" Qiao Ying has always thought about things on the good side.
Green Sleeves snorted coldly and said: "What's not a big problem! If the queen mother is really so easy to fool over, then she won't be eager to send Cui Cheng over to announce the decree on the day Niangniang returns to Beijing, now that it's been so long, she doesn't have to worry about Niangniang's body, when we say that she is seriously ill, she is afraid that she will have to find the imperial doctor, and then use the imperial doctor and our life to force the mother to return to the palace." ”
When the interests are in front of them, it is impossible to think that the other party is as indifferent as himself, since the Empress Dowager stretched out her hand to the Yonghe Palace, they are destined to oppose each other, even if the Empress Dowager is dead, but the Empress Dowager did not come up at the first time? These Mongolian women are more ruthless than the other, except for their own interests, how can they care about other people's lives.
"What then?" Qiao Ying and Lu Pothos glanced at each other, and both of them were a little worried. Don't look at the imperial doctor who said that Yunxi's injury is no longer serious, but they who are waiting for Yunxi know that Yunxi is fundamentally injured this time, and it will be difficult for him to recover in a year or two.
"What can I do? The soldiers will come to block, the water will flood the earth, and you can do what you have to do. Yunxi looked at the few people who were messed up, and there was a slight smile in her eyes, not to mention that she didn't plan to go back, even if she really went back, she didn't believe that the queen mother could ask for her life in front of everyone? Regardless of whether the fate of these people is good or bad, Yunxi knows what he thinks in his heart, "I asked you to prepare, not because I am afraid of the Queen Mother's means, but just in case, after all, the Queen Mother is an elder and the most noble woman in this harem, and her existence itself is a threat, not to mention that she is full of hostility towards me." ”
The green sleeves looked at each other, and after listening to Yunxi's explanation, they all breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is a way to solve the problem, everything else is easy to say.
In the palace, as Yunxi thought, approaching the end of the year, in the face of Kangxi's absence, Concubine Niu Colu and Concubine Tong had a disagreement on the matter of the palace banquet. The two of you disobey me, I don't accept you, and they made trouble for several days, and finally they made trouble in front of the queen mother.
The Queen Mother had a really bad time during this time, she couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep, and she lost a lot of weight, but she still didn't come up with a specific answer in her heart. Now that Horqin has written again, looking at the large number of requests made in the letter, the Queen Mother felt a chill. Before she could figure out how to reply to the letter, no, it should be said how to face the current situation, Niu Colu Guifei and Tong Guifei came to her.
"What kind of system are you doing!" The queen mother was already annoyed in her heart, and then looked at Niu Colu and Concubine Tong, who were arguing without saying a word, and couldn't help but shout angrily, directly interrupting the argument between the two.
Niu Colu Guifei and Tong Guifei looked at the angry Queen Mother, and for a while, both of them looked stunned, and they looked a little at a loss. Come to think of it, if an honest person is angry, he is already a blockbuster!
"The queen mother, the concubines are also thinking about the emperor. Even if the emperor is not there, it must be publicized and publicized well, so that people know that the emperor's merits are incomparable!" Concubine Tong was already dissatisfied with Concubine Niu Colu, who was in charge of the palace, and now she surpassed her and became pregnant first, how could she accept it! Now she finally seized an opportunity, if she didn't take the opportunity to get back to Yicheng, where would she still have her place in the harem in the future.
Seeing Concubine Tong's villainous appearance, Concubine Niu Colu couldn't help but look up at the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, the concubines have different thoughts about this. Now that the war ahead is tense, although the good news continues, since the emperor has not come back for many years for the war, the situation is definitely not as easy as what we see, so the concubines feel that it is better not to hold this palace banquet. ”
The queen mother listened to their words, her eyes lit up slightly, and her heart turned a thousand times, and she would inevitably move other thoughts, but before she made up her mind, she said with a rare and pleasant face: "The mourning family knows that you are all well-intentioned, but the person who has the idea in the palace is the prince, you can discuss with him if you have any ideas, but the mourning family has no energy to take care of these things anymore." ”
Concubine Niu Colu looked at the Empress Dowager's insincere expression, trembling her lips and hurriedly reassuring her, but the light in her eyes became colder and colder, how could she not understand the plans of the Empress Dowager and Concubine Tong, one wanted to sow discord and wanted to take advantage, and the other wanted to seize power, but how could she let them succeed?
Now that she has torn her face with the Queen Mother, the two sides did not make a big move, probably testing each other's bottom line, plus she is pregnant, even if it is for the child in her womb, she can't let them threaten the safety of herself and the child. For a moment, Concubine Niu Colu even missed Yunxi, after all, there was only one Concubine Zhao in the harem who could really handle things fairly and always kept the bottom line.
It's just that Mulan's trip made Concubine Zhao seriously injured, even if she has the heart to let Concubine Zhao pick up the burden, she can't joke with other people's body bones, God knows how much the emperor attaches importance to Concubine Zhao, when she came back from Mulan, she was pulling favors for Concubine Zhao in and out of her words, and she herself was indeed grateful to Concubine Zhao, whether she persuaded the emperor to come to her or not, just for the child in her belly, she owed Concubine Zhao a big favor.
