Chapter 372: Providence Makes People
Yunxi really didn't expect Concubine Tong to enter the palace so much and be so naïve, she couldn't distinguish priorities, no wonder a Wu Ya clan had to wait until she appeared to completely solve it, and now that it was replaced by Xiao Tong's, she didn't break it anymore, and even went to the hospital in a hurry, she didn't want to think about it, Kangxi had already demoted her position, could it be that she could pull another Concubine Tong or Concubine Tong? That will definitely not work, after all, Kangxi has always been stingy in his position, and those who can occupy the position of concubine or concubine are all old and have children, Yunxi is an exception, but others have been able to go to the concubine position for a long time.
Although Xiao Tong was born in the Tong family, there is no relationship between her and Kangxi, Concubine Tong had gotten along with Kangxi for a while, she was afraid that she hadn't been born at that time! In this way, she still wanted to get Kangxi's special treatment, which made people feel funny when they heard it.
If there is no outstanding beauty, no strong political factors, and no merit of defeating others, then do not think that you can fly into the sky, otherwise what you will lose in addition to what you have now, you may fall even worse.
"Concubine Tong is becoming more and more open-minded, but don't forget that the emperor's mind has never been something we can speculate at will, and I will mention you now just because the emperor has already revealed his intentions, but you haven't realized it yet. Yunxi dutifully reminded again, but she didn't really want to help Concubine Tong by doing this, but Kangxi wanted to do it, so she showed it at the head, first, to reduce Concubine Tong's danger to the end, and secondly, to do what she liked, so that Kangxi felt her sincerity in always standing on the same line with him.
Concubine Tong looked at Yunxi with a leisurely posture, and knew that she really didn't have any water in what she said, as for whether she was sincere or not, she didn't care, after all, she still wanted to put people to death at the beginning, and now she expects others to be sincere to herself, it is really delusional. But what really makes her feel embarrassed now is whether she wants to try her statement, after all, it is a win or a loss, in this move, Xiao Tong's has been favored, which makes her feel like a great enemy, especially now that she has been demoted, although they all say that Xiao Tong's cannot cross her, but who can guarantee that this matter will never happen.
It is said that dogs that can bite people don't bark, Xiao Tong is obviously a dog that can only bite people, the emperor just spoiled her for a few days, she thought she could turn over and be the master, but this is not the most important thing, what really makes her feel frightened is probably everyone's unclear attitude, as if her descent from a concubine to Concubine Tong is just the beginning.
"Okay, I've already said what needs to be said, and it's up to you what to do next. Yun Xi said that he picked up the teacup in his hand and gave it to Concubine Tong slightly, which meant very obviously.
They are not all the way, and they are even enemies, Yunxi did not pit Concubine Tong until she couldn't get up, it was all about Kangxi's face, after all, such a man, a heart pretends to be the world, whether it is a woman or a child, it is necessary for him but it is never all, that is to say, if you want to keep your position by this man's side, you have to follow him all the time, instead of thinking beyond him and mastering everything about him.
Concubine Tong saw that Yunxi didn't leave her face at all, and her face became particularly ugly, but now it is different from the past, she is no longer the high-ranking Concubine Tong, and her current status is not even comparable to Yunxi, not to mention that Yunxi is still polite and relatively polite now, that is, people directly bombard her out, what can she do, no way, she can only get up and leave.
After returning to Jingren Palace, Concubine Tong thought about it and didn't come up with a way, and finally saw that Xiao Tong's momentum was getting bigger and bigger, gritted her teeth, and went to Qianqing Palace with the list, although Kangxi's expression did not change much that day, but her attitude towards her softened a little, and even stayed in Jingren Palace that night, such a reversal shocked everyone's eyes, except for Yunxi, who had already guessed the result.
Xiao Tong's family has been in obscurity for a few years in the palace, but at least the days have been smooth, especially in the past year, her actions have been frequent, and she has risen from time to time, even if her position is not high, her momentum is not less than anyone else, usually she put the posture of the Tong family to the fullest, ordinary people are not in her eyes, and finally has the opportunity to climb up, she is naturally full of strength to climb up, but no one thought that everything will come and go quickly, she doesn't know what Concubine Tong has done, but she has not been summoned by the emperor for several days, not to mention those concubines who ridicule her, that is, the slaves around her, she is a little unable to move。
She didn't care what method Concubine Tong used, she only knew that the emperor's attitude had changed and she was a little frightened, the emperor's attitude towards her was light, not enthusiastic or cold, but now she suddenly changed her face, and she ignored her, obviously Concubine Tong was a hindrance, and wanted to take the opportunity to stabilize her position, so she would not go along with her, since she didn't give her a way to live, then she didn't need to leave her a way to live.
It's a pity that before Xiao Tong's help, the eunuchs and palace maids who were ordered by Kangxi began to deal with Xiao Tong's family, compared to the battle between concubines, being quietly killed by the slaves is the most helpless. Don't think that the master is above all else, if you really have to think about it, you have to see who is the real master, and whether the people around you really serve you as the master.
When Yunxi got the news of Xiao Tong's violent death, her face was calm, she had long expected that the moment Kangxi changed his attitude towards Concubine Tong would be doomed to Xiao Tong's death, in the final analysis, everything was Xiao Tong's own doing, if she wasn't so greedy, and waited until Kangxi disposed of Concubine Tong, maybe she would become a high-ranking 'Concubine Tong' like in the previous life, but unfortunately everything had no chance.
"Concubine Tong doesn't have to worry about it for now, she handed over most of the power in her hand to the emperor, the emperor will definitely not show mercy, all who can stay are practical, and those who are brainless can only follow in the footsteps of Xiao Tong's family, as for the Tong family, the power in the palace in the future can be said to be cleansed, if there is no bright performance in the future, I am afraid that it will be silent. "Yunxi thinks about the Tong family who was called the 'Tong Half Dynasty' in the previous life, and then thinks about the Tong family who is embarrassed in this life and only seeks self-protection, I have to say that all this has a sense of providence.
"But Niangniang, if we let Concubine Tong go like this, will she secretly bite us like you did before. "Green Sleeves has always been hostile to Concubine Tong, probably because Concubine Tong's original calculation almost ruined Yunxi, so as long as it involves her, she will be quite vigilant.
Yunxi looked at the vigilant green sleeves, patted her hand with a smile, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry! Without the Tong family as a backing, and without the power in her hands to rely on, Concubine Tong will no longer be able to stir up the wind and rain even if she is afraid." Besides, our enemy has never been Concubine Tong, and as the children grow up, the real storm is coming. ”
Yunxi is reluctant to say everything so clearly, but the facts are in front of them, even if they defeat one enemy after another, as long as Kangxi is not honest, then Yunxi is good, and the women of the harem have to fight without limits, which is why the women of the harem would rather be reliable than their families and sons, and are not willing to pay their hearts to Kangxi.
Mama Xu saw that Yunxi was becoming more and more calm, and knew that she had come out of the love that was depicted beautiful but actually full of danger, and the people who could survive in this harem were basically people who understood. There are three thousand beauties in the harem, who has not thought about the emperor, who does not want to be the cinnabar mole white moonlight in his heart, but it is a pity that the emperor never wants to stay at this person, no, maybe the emperor already has someone in his heart, but he has not yet realized that Xu Mama's eyes swept over the clouds and tides with a more and more cold expression, and he felt that one day when the emperor came back to his senses and understood that he was in love with his mother, it was estimated that it would be too late.
Some people say that men are ruthless, but once a woman dies, she will become more ruthless than a man, and when her own mother struggles, hesitates, or even confused in this relationship, the emperor is hugging left and right, so unhappy! Even if she is not for anything else, only looking at a loyalty to her mother, she should loyally hope that the emperor can endure hardships, rather than hoping that he will successfully embrace the beauty.
Over the years, following Yunxi, Mama Xu can more or less figure out Yunxi's personality and way of doing things, don't look at her as a soft and weak person, as if she is a good bully, but in fact she is not the kind of person who will never make a noise when she suffers a loss. She acts in a disciplined manner, although she can be affectionate and righteous to her own people, she acts cautiously and abides by her own principles and bottom line, she is not panicked or impulsive, she is high-profile when she should be high-profile, low-key when she should be low-key, optimistic in nature, not tempted by fame and fortune, it can be said that she used her thin shoulders to support the people in this Yonghe Palace.
Although Kangxi's maintenance of Yunxi is rare in the palace, but this maintenance is also exchanged for blood by his own mother, if not, why does the emperor protect her, and why does the prince protect the fourth elder brother, it can only last a long time if there are contacts in it, what can be exchanged for only a few words!
"Green sleeves, we should believe Niangniang's judgment, since Niangniang said so, then we naturally have a plan in our hearts, we are all dedicated to Niangniang, if Niangniang has made up her mind, we will do it, and there is no need to question Niangniang's judgment. "Mama Xu doesn't have the confidence to Yunxi, but she still trusts her judgment very much, they have come all the way, maybe they all have merit, but in the end it is Yunxi who judges and orders, if her mind is empty, let alone live a good life in the palace, I am afraid that one by one will have been trampled under the feet of others.
Yunxi looked at the green sleeves who were trained by Mama Xu's words to lower her head, chuckled a few times, pinched the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, and then said: "Okay, we are all our own people, if we have any questions in our hearts, it is best to ask them, always hiding them in our hearts will definitely attract unnecessary suspicion, now it's good, just say whatever you want, don't be taboo, Mama doesn't have to be so careful, because in this palace, I only believe you!"
When Mama Xu heard Yunxi's confession, they didn't say anything, and they were all moved in their hearts. As a minion, it is not a miracle to be able to gain the trust of the master, but it is impossible to ask for a master.
Compared with Yunxi's indifference, Concubine Tong in Jingren Palace was happy and depressed, "Concubine Zhao really didn't lie to me, as long as I hand in those lists, I can make my wishes come true, but why is Xiao Tong's death, but I don't feel happy at all!"
Mama Tu looked at Concubine Tong who was crying and laughing with a sigh, and she didn't even know where to persuade her, the emperor was determined to rectify the Tong family, and even used the Tong family to beat those families who had two hearts, otherwise he would not try his best to rein in the forces in the hands of his mother, let alone take the life of Xiao Tong. Speaking of which, it's all because the Tong family is too self-righteous that the emperor's foreign family can be above everyone, this step is too big, so that it can't stand, and finally falls a big heel, but I don't know if my mother will be stable in the palace in the future?
Concubine Tong sneered a few times, her whole expression seemed a little stunned, she seemed to have fallen into her own conjecture, sometimes afraid, sometimes happy, she didn't pay attention to Mama Tu and them at all, just thinking about the things she was thinking.
Mama Tu and Mama Wu glanced at each other, both of them looked a little ugly, although they didn't want Concubine Tong to cause trouble, but they didn't want her to become afraid, after all, they lost the support of the Tong family and the favor of the emperor, and if they wanted to live a peaceful life in this palace, it was indeed easy to have silver to open the way, but for a long time, where was there so much silver, and in the end they had to think of other ways.
"Niangniang, wake up, Niangniang, now the Tong family can't be relied on, and there is not much power in your hands, if you don't cheer up, I'm afraid you will be trampled under your feet by others." Mama Tu's voice was poignant and sharp, and it pierced into Concubine Tong's heart at once, so that her thoughts of wanting to escape had to be dispersed at this moment.
"Aren't I being trampled under my feet now? The Tong family has long ignored me, and the emperor is just a list in my hand, and now that most of the list is gone, the emperor will still take me seriously. I have no pets and no children, and now I have no family to rely on, what will I do in the future. Concubine Tong looked at Mama Tu with a miserable face, holding her hand with both hands, like a drowning person grasping the last life-saving straw, wanting to get an answer.
Mama Tu's hand was held very painfully, but she endured it and did not retract it, but said solemnly: "But Niangniang, don't forget that this is not the worst, there is no Tong family, we can still rely on ourselves, although the emperor is not a favorite Niangniang, but there is still a little incense for Niangniang, otherwise this time the emperor can not take care of Niangniang, and directly choose Xiao Tong's family, but the emperor finally chose Niangniang." Speaking of this, Mama Tu saw that Concubine Tong listened carefully, so she continued: "Don't forget, Niangniang, if you give up, your life in this harem will be countless times worse than now. ”
"I ......" Concubine Tong hesitated again and again, her mind was full of pictures of the previous concubines struggling to survive, thinking of this, she couldn't help screaming, holding Mama Tu's hand and saying again: "Mama is right, it's all come to this point, if I give up, those who have been ridiculed by me are afraid that they will all rush up and take revenge." ”
"Yes, it's right for Niangniang to think like this, compared to Xiao Tong's family, you at least keep a concubine, and there are a few concubines in this harem, as long as you keep your duty, with the identity of the emperor's cousin, even if someone says sour words to provoke, but I am afraid that there are few people who really dare to move you, and as long as you are stable, if the Tong family wants to make a difference in the harem, they will come up sooner or later. Mama Tu's words were like a bright light, which suddenly illuminated Concubine Tong's heart, and made her confused find her goal again, "You're right, it's too early to give up, the emperor doesn't like the palace to make trouble, then the palace will keep its duty, like this, they can still find fault with the palace." ”
