Chapter 371: The Road to Promotion (2nd Update)
Kangxi never doubted Yunxi's intentions for herself, just because no matter what situation she was in, she would choose to put him first. Tong Guifei once did something unforgivable to Yunxi, no one knows better than him, but that's it, Yunxi still supports his decision, which makes Kangxi feel extremely moved.
The more empathetic Yunxi is, the more Kangxi feels guilty about her, and naturally he will lean towards her whenever there is anything good, such as the position of the concubine who needs to check and balance each other in his plan, if someone goes down, someone will naturally come up, Kangxi is not exclusive to Yunxi becoming a concubine, and even has a plan in his heart, but because of his future plans and some concerns, he has not made up his mind. But at this moment, the moment Kangxi made up his mind to keep Concubine Tong and abandon Xiao Tong's family, he also decided Yunxi's promotion path.
Kangxi stretched out his hand and took Yunxi into his arms, grasped her softness, and said with emotion: "I have always known your mind, but as the king of a country, I also have a lot of helplessness, fortunately with your understanding and companionship, otherwise I really don't know how to face Xi'er." ”
"What did the emperor say, if the emperor really stopped paying attention to the concubines because of some speculation, then the concubines would really be sad!" Yun Xi slapped Kangxi's strong chest twice with disgust, causing Kangxi to laugh loudly.
Liang Jiugong, who was not far away, looked at Xiao Dezi who kept sighing, took a sip, and then reminded in a low voice: "You kid remember, there are countless heroines in this harem, but some can be offended, and some can't be offended, obviously this Concubine Zhao is the person who can't be offended, don't look at her as a concubine, but her words are more useful than the words of the concubine, in the future, our family will be raised, you have to open your eyes and see clearly, otherwise you really offend people who shouldn't be offended, even if you are someone around the emperor, you have to be unlucky when you should be unlucky." ”
Xiao Dezi listened to Liang Jiugong's words, not only did he not feel impatient, but on the contrary, he nodded his head again and again.
He is Liang Jiugong's godson, and he was taken by Liang Jiugong because of an accident a few years ago, but Liang Jiugong's godson is not the only one, so many people want to show themselves in front of Liang Jiugong, so naturally they want to show their powers, and compared to others, Xiao Dezi's background is the worst, but he didn't give up, because giving up means that he has to be the little eunuch that everyone can bully again.
In order to get Liang Jiugong's praise, in order to stand out in this group of people, Xiao Dezi really wasted a lot of thoughts, and secretly learned a lot of things, because of fate, he appeared in front of the emperor because of Concubine Zhao's words, and since then he has been recognized by Liang Jiugong, and slowly became the most proud godson in front of Liang Jiugong. There are some things that Xiao Dezi doesn't say, but he remembers Concubine Zhao's grace, whether Concubine Zhao's mother was intentional or unintentional at that time, since he has fulfilled him, he has to remember this grace for the rest of his life.
"That's what the godfather said. Xiao Dezi's attitude was sincere, and his expression of gratitude made Liang Jiugong nod with satisfaction.
As an old man next to Kangxi, Liang Jiugong knew that he was getting older and older, and many things had begun to be powerless, and he had accepted so many godsons, all of whom were human spirits, but they were too fine, Liang Jiugong didn't dare to bet everything on any of them, but Xiao Dezi, at first he just thought he was a little smart, but then he found out that this child was very affectionate, and because of this, Liang Jiugong would slowly promote him, and even repeatedly let him stand out in front of Kangxi.
"Don't think that our family is verbose, there are many smart people in this harem, but there are only a few who can come out, our family is old, although serving the emperor is dedicated, it is difficult to keep up with the speed of the emperor, so soon you will take over the position of our family, and you will naturally need to be careful in the future." When Liang Jiugong said this, his tone was also mixed with a bit of concern, after all, he was an apprentice recognized by himself, no matter what happened in the future, he was looking forward to his well.
"Don't worry, my son will definitely be down-to-earth. Xiao Dezi also knew Liang Jiugong's intentions, so when he saw Kangxi and them entering the house, he sincerely bowed to Liang Jiugong, which was regarded as thanking him for his allocation and promotion.
After that, Kangxi stayed directly in Yonghe Palace, and the next day he sent a lot of rewards, and for a while Yonghe Palace appeared in front of people again, and all the people who paid attention to Tong Guifei's sisters before came back to their senses, Kangxi's favorite concubine has always been Concubine Zhao, and Tong Guifei and Xiao Tong's are cold stoves that can't be burned at all.
Of course, these people who have come back to their senses have the intention to turn around and burn the hot stove of Yunxi, but they think it is one thing, and it is another thing whether people accept it or not, after all, people have been favored since they entered the palace, even if this is not the first in the harem, at least the favor and heirs are not comparable to anyone, and they really don't need to look at anyone's face.
Yunxi didn't care about all kinds of discussions from the outside world, but took the time to calm the emotions of a few children, they don't make trouble doesn't mean they are in trouble, if someone really dares to take the opportunity to bully them, she will use the facts to let them know what is a difficult bone to gnaw.
Just when Yunxi thought that the concubines in the harem would make a move on her, Kangxi suddenly decreed that the position of Concubine Tong would be lowered, from concubine to concubine, it seems that there is only one step, but some people stop here for the rest of their lives, so that such news shocked everyone in an instant, after all, the Tong sisters have been making trouble for so long, Kangxi has not moved at all, just when they thought that the result should be known by the Tong sisters themselves, Kangxi suddenly issued an order, and even the night before the decree, Kangxi seemed to have turned over Xiao Tong's brand, even if there is no conspiracy at this time, everyone wants to complete this conspiracy for Xiao Tong's family。
In Yonghe Palace, Yunxi looked at the uninvited Concubine Tong, no, it should be the freshly baked Concubine Tong, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and she tore her face by beating them, she didn't think that there was room for cooperation between the two, even if it was a heartless person like Yunxi, it was impossible to be kind to a person who wanted her own life.
Concubine Tong also knew that she was not popular, but Kangxi's will came too suddenly, and her plan was broken up in one fell swoop, and now she doesn't need to open her mouth, but whenever she goes out, she is definitely full of ridicule. Although she may still use her identity to oppress people, but now it is different from the past, if there was only one Niu Colu who didn't care about her in the past, then now she is on an equal footing with her, no, there are several concubines who are higher than her, after all, there is still a big difference between concubines with titles and concubines without titles, she didn't take Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui in her eyes before, and now they naturally won't put her in their eyes. After a few times, Concubine Tong remembered Yunxi, who had never come up, remembered the previous cooperation, and then struggled for a few days, and finally came to the door.
"Ben...... I know that my rash visit has caused a certain impact on you, Concubine Zhao, but the matter is urgent, I have to come to the door, and I hope you can help me again......" Concubine Tong has suffered so many losses, naturally she will not put up any more shelves in front of Yunxi, after all, she is now asking for people, not others asking for her, and more importantly, her current place is not like before, and even lower than the person in front of her, so her attitude is a little low, and when she saw Yunxi's face, she couldn't help but say again:" I know that I was wrong about what happened before, but I won't let you gang for nothing, as long as you want it, and I have it, I'm willing to exchange it!"
"Exchange?" Yun Xi chuckled when she heard this, the gorgeous armor shook slightly because of her movements, and the gem on it crossed a bright light, which was so beautiful that it made people look sideways, but Yun Xi's gaze did not stop for it, but said to himself: " Concubine Tong is afraid that I don't know, I've always been very content with the status quo, as long as others don't beat me and my child's idea, I will always maintain the status quo and live my own small life, but once someone dares to destroy my life, hmph, I may not be able to take the other party's life, but I will definitely try to make the other party's life worse than death!"
Concubine Tong's face turned pale when she heard this, no matter how stupid she was, the person who dared to destroy her life in Yunxi's words was her, and after that, whether it was her or the emperor, it seemed that she had done nothing, but it really turned her life into a mess, "You have already done it to me?"
"What does Concubine Tong mean by this! And why is your face so pale? If you feel unwell, you must take care of your body! After all, the emperor is still quite concerned about Concubine Tong, at least he did not choose to replace you. Yunxi pretended to be concerned and said a few words of condolences to Concubine Tong, but the words she said were not gentle, and she even hid a sharp knife, which hurt Concubine Tong's heart a thousand times.
Concubine Tong glanced at Yunxi who was sitting above with slight annoyance, and when she saw her smiling face, she couldn't help gritting her teeth and said, "Are you laughing at me being calculated by a little master? No, I just lost to the person I believe in the most." "It's really a pot that can't be opened, she really can't wait to tear Xiao Tong alive now, but the emperor has summoned Xiao Tong twice in a row after three days, as if she can't be replaced by her compensation, which makes her start to wonder whether the emperor cares about her or has a heart for Xiao Tong?
Hearing this, Yun Xi immediately put away the smile on his face, his eyes swept over Concubine Tong's humble expression that was different from the past and the loss and indignation on her face that could not be concealed, and said in a deep voice: "If Concubine Tong thinks what I said is ugly, you can go back to your Jingren Palace, and you don't have to listen to my nonsense here, so as not to let others think that I have something wrong with you when they see it!"
When Concubine Tong heard this, she suddenly smiled bitterly in her heart, if she could really be as willful as before, she would not have made this trip today, "I didn't mean that, I was just upset because of my family's abandonment, and I didn't understand the current situation." Seeing that Yunxi's face softened a little, she continued: "I know you don't lack anything, but in this palace, there are always some things that you can use, if you can help me get rid of Xiao Tong, I am willing to hand over part of the list in my hand to you for disposal." ”
Seeing this, Yunxi only raised the corners of her mouth slightly, she didn't take this little power in Concubine Tong's mouth in her eyes at all, her current power is not too big but it is enough, even if she really wants to develop again, it is not to pick up other people's old, after all, she really can't believe it if it is not her own person," What Concubine Tong said is inappropriate, I know that you are complaining that the emperor did not deal with Xiao Tong's family in time, or even protect her, but have you ever thought that you are the daughter of the Tong family, and so is the Xiao Tong family, with your uncle and Ama here, even if the emperor wants to warn or even suppress the Tong family, it is impossible not to leave any face to the Tong family. ”
Concubine Tong couldn't help but feel happy when she saw Yunxi analyzing the current situation for herself as before, and the moment she spoke, she couldn't help but feel a little more anxious: "I know that everything you said is right, but you don't know my situation, I'm partial to Xiao Tong's family, and I want me to give way to her, originally I thought that since I didn't let me have a good time, I would drag them to die together, but I didn't want the emperor to make a decree all of a sudden, not only that, but also continuously summoned Xiao Tong's family, how can this situation make me embarrassed, I hate, I hate!"
Yunxi saw that Concubine Tong was so easy to soften, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching, but she heard that Concubine Tong had made many people eat turtles recently, and now it seems that it is only superficial work, and the real she has long lost her sense of proportion, no wonder in the end, no one asks for it to come to her, it is really stupid for decades, and she is not afraid that she will directly stumble on her and kill her in order to take revenge.
Anyway, she just made a statement in front of Kangxi, if she really helped Concubine Tong now, she was afraid that she would really have to carry a pot with ulterior motives, after all, Kangxi's suspicion is at any time, it can be said that a person who disagrees will be suspicious, she doesn't want to get into trouble for herself for inconsequential people.
"If you really want to take revenge, then you should go to the emperor with the list that is ready for me, I believe that the emperor will definitely see your sincerity, and maybe he will go along with your wishes. Sometimes it's better for people to be a little confused, like Master Tong, but she's too smart, so the harem can't tolerate her. Yunxi's words stopped at the point, he didn't understand too much, but he also knew what to do, after all, the choices were already in front of him, if you insisted on not choosing, others would not be able to do anything about you.
"Do you mean that the emperor is waiting for my choice......? It doesn't make sense, if the emperor really made a decision, why not be direct, anyway, I don't have a choice now!" Concubine Tong's face was full of doubts, obviously thinking that Kangxi's approach was too redundant, if he really wanted to deal with Xiao Tong's words, in one sentence, why turn over Xiao Tong's brand, and even make people think that she has the momentum of being favored?
She really doesn't understand, why should a simple thing be done so troublesomely, if it was in the past, no, it should be said that if it were a different person, she might not have such an attitude, but if it was Xiao Tong's, she would like her to die immediately, where to wait slowly.
