Chapter Eighty-Eight: Cining Palace, Please
When Yunxi finished freshening up, he happened to hear that Li Dequan had been ordered to come to the east side hall of Yanxi Palace with a series of rewards, and the timing was just right, so that Yunxi would not be rude.
As long as there are no accidents after the newcomer sleeps, there will generally be a reward, which is also an unwritten rule of the harem, don't look at Li Dequan reading a bunch of rewards in his throat, but compared to the people who are promoted after the waiting, Yunxi has not attracted the attention of the concubines in the harem.
But this result is not bad for a newcomer in Yunxi, not to mention how prominent it is, but it is not backward, and today's saint is not very generous in terms of position, don't you see that Rong Concubine and others, who have been in the palace for many years, have only one concubine for so many years? If she enters the palace to sleep once, she will be promoted to a concubine, I am afraid that if these concubines in the harem do not need to do it, the Empress Dowager will be the first to be able to bear her.
This is very good, the reward is heavier, and many reasons can be found to explain it, such as her good service, her brother's meritorious service, or because she is the empress dowager's own order...... and so on, can distract others from paying attention to her.
After saluting and thanking him, Yunxi generously rewarded, not only Li Dequan, but also the other palace maids and eunuchs who came over were rewarded. This move not only won the favor of everyone, but at least it can save face.
After sending Li Dequan away, Yunxi directly instructed Mama Xu to register these things that Kangxi had rewarded. As for herself, she naturally has to do what she should do.
Yunxi's servant bed can be regarded as opening up the situation for the newcomer to be favored, and then, after less than two days, Yuan Guiren was turned over, as for the reward, Yunxi didn't inquire much, according to Lufu, it was a few points worse than her, as for how many points, Yunxi was not interested. However, compared to Wei Changzai's continuous summoning, the light of Yunxi and her newcomers was quickly overshadowed.
In the harem, the newcomer is favored and rewarded, which is really not a big deal, and what will really be regarded as a big thing by the harem concubines is probably someone who continues to be favored and shares their original opportunities.
As a result, the eyes of the harem that were originally placed on Yunxi and their newcomers suddenly turned back to Wei Changzai's body again, as for the noble Wuya, she has always been an extremely smart woman, who knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and knows how to hide behind others to gain more benefits.
No, Wei Changzai has become the common enemy of all the concubines in the harem, if it weren't for Wei Changzai's identity, he would not be qualified to greet the Empress Dowager and others, and her life would be even more difficult.
Yunxi looked at the embarrassed Wei family, and suddenly felt how big the difference between the high and low status and the maintenance of someone and no one was. Suddenly, Yunxi couldn't help but rely on Kangxi a little more.
A few days later, when Yunxi went to ask Concubine Rong again, Concubine Rong directly told her that today was the time to go to Cining Palace to say goodbye.
Yunxi was slightly stunned, and after coming back to her senses, she remembered what Concubine Rong had said before, so she honestly followed Concubine Rong to Cining Palace.
When they arrived at Cining Palace, it was lively and tight, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager naturally didn't need to say much, they must be the objects sought after by everyone, and Concubine Tong, Niu Colu Guifei and some other concubines all sat aside, at a glance, thousands of charms, beautiful women.
stepped forward with Rong Concubine, Yun Xi first solemnly greeted the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and then asked the concubines on both sides for ten thousand blessings, and finally greeted each other with a group of concubines.
Whether it is in Cining Palace, or in other places, the order of seating has always been exquisite, in addition to the distinction between left and right, there is also the preference of the superior, just say that next to the Empress Dowager is sitting Niu Colu Guifei instead of the venerable Tong Guifei, you can see the Empress Dowager's preferences.
After taking a seat, Concubine Rong smiled and said: "You can hear the laughter of the Empress Dowager in the hall from afar, and I don't know what the happy event is today? ”
Although Niu Colu's family is not easy to get along with, she has not always put on a cold face, at least in Cining Palace, she has always been smiling, originally she was gorgeous and charming, but now she is smiling, it is really beautiful and moving, "Yi Concubine is happy, isn't this a great joy?"
Yi Concubine Guo Luo Luo sat on the embroidery pier next to Niu Lu's, at this time, the delicate little face was also with unconcealable joy and smile, "Recently, I have been feeling that my body is not very comfortable, I originally thought it was spring sleepiness and laziness, who knew that the imperial doctor came to diagnose the pulse of peace, and it was actually diagnosed with the pulse of joy." ”
"That's really a great joy! Since Yagui gave birth to the fourth elder brother, it has been a long time since there has been good news in the palace, this is indeed a great joy to be happy about!" Concubine Rong looked slightly stunned, and then echoed with a smile.
Yunxi was also secretly surprised in her heart, as far as she knew, Kangxi's favorite ones were the Yi concubine Guo Luo Luo and the De Concubine Wu Ya, even if there were concubines and other Han concubines in the later period, but in terms of status, the first two were more valued. If Wu Yagui was born as the fourth elder brother, then the one in Concubine Yi's belly should be the fifth elder brother.
In later generations, there were many novels of YY Kangxi and Kangxi's son, and Yunxi was curious and read some at that time. Don't look at the previous life, she didn't know much about the news inside and outside the palace, but thanks to those novels, what happened in the palace was rough, and those concubines had children, she still knew it. But now that she, a person who had never appeared in the palace in her previous life, has entered the palace, it means that the original arrangements have been disrupted, so it doesn't matter what happened before, and what the rest will do in the end depends on their respective abilities.
"Yi Concubine has been in the palace for many years, and once she was happy, it was really gratifying, and the other sisters also had to work hard to spread out for the emperor. Although Concubine Tong couldn't hide her sourness, the moment she opened her mouth, she pulled up hatred for Yi Concubine.
Yi Concubine is a little lower than Rong Concubine and others, but she can be regarded as an old man in the palace, she was happy for a while, but at the same time, Duan entered the palace or entered the palace before her, but the people who entered the palace before her were not happy, and was reminded by Concubine Tong that envy and jealousy were mixed together, how could she not make people think about other things.
The Empress Dowager listened to Concubine Tong's words, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and then she beckoned to Concubine Yi with a smile, and then took a phoenix blood bracelet from her wrist and put it on her hand, saying: "This phoenix blood bracelet is the beloved thing of the mourning family, and now that you are pregnant, the mourning family will give you this bracelet to add blessings to you, I just hope that you can add another brother to the emperor." ”
When Concubine Yi heard this, a trace of joy flashed in her eyes, and then she hurriedly bowed her knees to thank her, "Thank you for the grace of the Empress Dowager." ”
Seeing that everyone's jealousy of Yi Concubine was deeper, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but turn her gaze to Yunxi, "The noble Suo Xuanluo came forward." ”
Yunxi was stunned, she thought that she was a full number, after all, in terms of family background, the Hesheri clan who had newly entered the palace was more than one section higher than her, and the Yuan Guiren's maiden family had to be reused, even if her eldest brother was appreciated on the battlefield, it was definitely not to the point where the empress dowager could pay attention, who would have thought ...... Surprised, Yunxi stepped forward and curtsied, "Concubine Suo Xuanluo asks the Empress Dowager to say goodbye." ”
The Empress Dowager looked at her well-behaved appearance, nodded with satisfaction, and turned her head to look at Aunt Su Mala behind her. Seeing this, Su Malagu walked in front of Yunxi with a box, opened the brocade box, and inside was a set of white jade heads, looking at the texture and workmanship, you can know that the treasures belong to you.
"This set of white jade heads is newly made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and today the mourning family will reward you, and I hope you will serve the emperor well in the future. The Empress Dowager said unhurriedly.
Yunxi bowed his knees and thanked him, and took the reward with both hands, "Thank the Empress Dowager for the reward, and the concubines will follow the Empress Dowager's teachings." ”
The concubines in the hall looked at this scene, and all of them had different expressions, some were jealous, some were envious, and some had obscure expressions. For a while, no one spoke, but others didn't speak, but the concubine who has always been in a hurry would not not speak, no matter whether her character was really refreshing or pretending to be refreshing, people put this envy and jealousy on the surface, even if someone felt uncomfortable, it was impossible to mess with her in public.
"This Suo Luogui is really a blessing, you can get the queen mother's reward as soon as you enter the palace, and the newcomer is favored and takes the lead, it's really enviable!"
Listening to this tone, it seems to be disgusted and sour and jealous, the meaning is unclear, but the meaning is a lot, I don't know how much benefit Yunxi has gained, so that the concubines who were originally in a calm mood instantly fell on Yunxi, and their eyes were not good, as if they were thinking about how to give her a dismount!
Yunxi raised her lips slightly, and said with a delicate face: "The concubine Niangniang has won the award, compared to the Wuya nobles and Wei Changzai, the concubine is just a coincidence, stained with the light of Yi Concubine Niangniang, and won the reward of the Empress Dowager." ”
With these two sentences, Yunxi threw out all the names that the concubines put on her head one by one.
Indeed, compared to the noble Wuya and Wei Changzai, the person who served her for the first time was really nothing, and then there was a concubine who was pregnant, her reward was really nothing.
Although Yunxi's words offended Yi Concubine, Wu Ya Guiren and Wei Chang at once, they dispersed the eyes of others that fell on her.
Then the Empress Dowager will suddenly show her favor, Yunxi doesn't believe that she has won the other party's like, but she is good enough to fight with Wei. In addition, Yi Concubine is pregnant, and pulling her out can better distract the harem concubines from falling on Yi Concubine's belly.
Everyone is calculating, but Yunxi is not stupid, she knows how to weigh the pros and cons, and she also knows the severity, but this does not mean that others have bullied her, she has to continue to endure it.
"Yo, look at the little mouth of the noble man. Seeing that Yunxi came up, the concubine directly shook the pot, was slightly stunned, and then shook the veil and said: "Although this Wuya nobleman and Wei Changzai are indeed favored, but the nobleman Suo Yuluo is not willing to be left behind! Look, the emperor has given a lot of rewards, and the empress dowager has given rewards, which is rare among us." ”
