Chapter 361: Coercion and Temptation
Mama Tu expected that her words would make Xiao Tong's family angry, but she didn't want her to be angry, but she didn't plan to back down at all, it seems that the list in the hands of the concubine is the capital based on the harem, but since it is capital, how can the concubine let go.
"The thing is in the hands of the concubine, if it is another old slave or master, it can still help, but this old slave can't do anything. "No one will hand over the life-saving things, especially the current Concubine Tong, who has lost everything, will definitely regard the power in her hands as her last life-saving talisman.
Xiao Tong sneered, clenched the handkerchief in his hand with both hands, stepped forward and said, "Yes, it seems that Mama Tu didn't listen to what I just said, as for what you said, take a bite, how good a tooth can bite the master." Besides, if you really regret losing everything, then don't blame me for doing things too desperately!" Xiao Tong, who had lost patience, spoke very coldly, and the whole person swept away the previous gentleness, which seemed very sharp, obviously, no matter how patient Xiao Tong was, it was impossible for a slave to let a slave sweep her face again and again.
Mama Tu took her expressions into her eyes one by one, and said helplessly on her face: " If the little master Tong has to say this, then the old slave has no choice, after all, the concubine is no better than the average person, and the things she decided will not change easily, especially after the emperor grounded her, her whole person became unusually irritable and sensitive, not to mention the old slave, even if the old man came in person, I am afraid that he will not be able to persuade the concubine Niangniang, so instead of working the old slave and others, it is better to find another way, after all, in order to balance the harem, the emperor will definitely make a choice. β
Xiao Tong didn't retreat when he heard this, and even said inch by inch: "Regardless of whether the emperor makes a choice or not, Mama Tu and Mama Wu must make a choice, otherwise wouldn't I run for nothing?" She doesn't care what others think in their hearts, and she doesn't care if others feel good in their hearts, she only knows that she has been waiting for this opportunity for too long, all those who want to stop her are her enemies, not to mention just threats, even if she is unscrupulous, she has to achieve her goal, not to stop after a few words of persuasion from others.
Mama Tu looked at Xiao Tong's unkind expression, her face became very ugly, and her expression was not as relaxed as just now, she looked a little dignified, but when she thought of the temper of the concubine, she felt a very headache, it stands to reason that they have decided not to get involved in the battle of the harem, there is not much difference between those forces giving or not, and the number of people is determined by them, but Tong Guifei's dislike of Xiao Tong is a knot that cannot be opened, she may be able to let go, but she knows in her heart that she will never let go because of Xiao Tongγ
Not far away, Mama Wu looked at Mama Tu, who had not come over for a long time, and couldn't help but slap her face gently, seeing her turn around and make a gesture, her heart was also full of helplessness, whether it was the concubine Niangniang or the little master Tong in front of her, it was not a fuel-efficient lamp, they all wanted to take advantage, but they forgot that cheap this thing is not something that can be taken advantage of, otherwise there will be any replacement of the old and new in this harem.
I remember when they tried every means to comfort them before, but as long as the concubine Niangniang could listen to it, they would not fall to the point where they are today, and the little master Tong in front of him, he had already put up a shelf early before he stood in a high position, such a person either suffered a big loss and knew how to grow, or he was replaced early.
Not far away, Mama Tu took a deep breath, calmed down the anger in her heart, and said coldly: "If the little master Tong really wants to break the net, then the old slave can only be polite, anyway, the concubine Niangniang doesn't want to rely on the Tong family now, if the little master Tong does too much, then the old slave will just exchange the life of the family for the little master, and it will be worth it." β
"You-" Xiao Tong didn't expect Mama Tu to be so tough, she thought that with Tong Guifei's tossing energy, the people around her must have been tossed by her and wanted to escape, but now it seems that she is taking it for granted.
I remember that when she sent a letter to Ama before, she mentioned the situation in the palace, Concubine Tong, as a descendant and an old person with the emperor, thought it was a good move, but she didn't want to end up making a fuss, and now Ama They want to support her on the throne, although the emperor did not agree, but his attitude was much more relaxed than before, which is a very good signal, and because of this, she is more anxious to prepare, after all, she has a pet and a child in the future.
As the emperor's status becomes more and more stable, whether it is the Tong family or other families, its role is no longer as good as before, so there will be less and less room for the harem concubines to be promoted in the future, after all, after entering the palace for a few years, only Concubine Zhao can be called a fast promotion, and the others have not worked hard for many years, but Xiao Tong's heart knows in his heart that this Concubine Zhao has only produced one in many years, if she really has the beauty of someone like a family, she can be proud, but unfortunately there are few enemies in this palace, and she herself is only beautiful, so she doesn't want to compete with others on thisγ
Of course, she doesn't fight for this, she still has to fight for others, after all, she doesn't just want to compete with her sister in the palace, the main reason is to let her aunt live a more decent life in the house, after all, no matter how favored the concubine is, she also has to live under the hands of the master's mother, as long as Ama is not there, her aunt's life is not easy, anyway, this is not a matter of three words.
"Okay, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you, if you really want to break the net, then you can try it and see if you can stand it or I can stand it. Xiao Tong looked at Mama Tu coldly and did not retreat at all.
She is an ambitious person, she has always had her own plan for doing things, so she naturally won't back down because of Mama Tu's words, and with the support of her family, she is not even afraid of Concubine Tong, not to mention Mama Tu and a few of their minions, to put it bluntly, she will come to the door just to save some trouble.
Mama Tu was very dissatisfied with Xiao Tong's coercion and temptation, but she also knew in her heart that at this point, some things could no longer be chosen by them, but there must be a process for this kind of thing, at least she couldn't nod because of a few words from the other party, "In this case, Xiao Master Tong should let the old slave think about it again!"
Xiao Tong thought that Mama Tu was taking Qiao, and she was not in a hurry, she knew in her heart that Mama Tu had a lot of eyes and a lot of schemes, and she could protect the scenery in the palace for so many years with a pig brain like her sister-in-law, and if she was replaced, she must be able to go higher and more stable. As for loyalty, she believes that as long as there are enough benefits, Mama Tu will definitely be used by her.
"Okay, this little master gives Mama this affection, but Mama can't let me wait too long, otherwise I can't guarantee that the people outside this palace can have enough patience like me. Xiao Tong smiled and turned around and left with her people.
Mama Tu looked at the back of Xiao Tong's departure and was quietly distracted, but even so, she still remained vigilant, heard a slight movement behind her, suddenly turned around, and saw that it was Mama Wu, so she breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with this matter today, unless we don't care about the family, otherwise we should compromise." β
Mama Wu couldn't help but sigh when she heard this, thinking about Concubine Tong's recent behavior, she couldn't help but say: "Finally, this concubine is willing to stop, but I didn't expect to turn around and this little master Tong will not stop again, I originally thought that I could escape, but now it seems that no matter whether I advance or retreat, I still have to come, and I can't hide." β
Mama Tu raised her head, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a bitter smile and said: "I understand what you said, I just don't want to mix it up anymore, you should be able to see that the emperor is no longer the emperor of the past, there are few people in and outside the palace who can restrain him, after the concubine Niangniang was grounded, the Tong family did everything to make the emperor relax, which shows that the emperor will not promote this little master Tong, at least not in a high position." β
After staying in the palace for a long time, as long as you look at many things carefully, you can always understand a few points, not to mention a person like Mama Tu. At the beginning, she just understood that she wanted to retreat bravely, but unfortunately Concubine Tong didn't understand her meaning and couldn't listen to persuasion, so that she fell to the point of being replaced. If Xiao Tong's family is a duty, she may be able to occupy a place in this harem, but unfortunately she is not only not duty, but also ambitious, and even does things by unscrupulous means, such a person will definitely be able to succeed in the past, but it is not a good thing to change it now.
The emperor's attitude towards the concubines in the harem is actually obvious, the family background is not favored, the status of the favor is low, it looks like no problem, but it is actually a way to balance each other, and now Tong Guifei, one of the two concubines, has fallen, then there will inevitably be another position to replace her, the Tong family has a good idea, but unfortunately the emperor may not be as they wish, if she is not mistaken, this position may be left by the emperor to Concubine Zhao?
Now the concubines of the entire harem are not as important as Concubine Zhao, not to mention that Concubine Zhao has three elder brothers under her name, not to mention Concubine Zhao herself, just for the sake of these three elder brothers, the emperor has to think about one or two, and what does the Xiao Tong family have? What else can the Tong family make the emperor jealous, to put it bluntly, this time is not as good as in the past, the little affection of the Tong family has been almost consumed, if they continue to ask the emperor as before, the result will definitely not be as they want.
"Then the Tong family is still ......," Mama Wu asked with some confusion.
"Hmph, in the final analysis, it's just that they haven't woken up when they are immersed in the beauty of the past, they self-righteously think that as the emperor's mother's family, they can ask for it without limits, but they don't know that the emperor's disposal of the concubine Niangniang is the beginning of rejecting them, if they don't understand, then the scenery of the Tong family is almost over here. "I can't even perceive it, so what else can I do in the court, I all count on the daughter's family who enters the palace, and it depends on whether these daughters' families have the luck to be favored by the king!
