Chapter Ninety-Two: Turning the Face
"What does Mama mean by this? How can this palace be separated from the emperor?" When Concubine Tong heard Mama Wu's words, she couldn't help but say loudly.
Seeing Concubine Tong's panicked face, Mama Wu couldn't help but help her sit down, and patiently explained: "Niangniang, the old slave has persuaded you a lot in private before, but Niangniang didn't take it to heart. Now that things have come to this point, the old slave doesn't want to be used or swayed by others all the time. ”
When Mama Wu said this, Wu Ya's noble eyes flashed slightly, and she didn't know why Mama Wu suddenly made her attitude clear and began to squeeze her. But she knew in her heart that if she continued to talk about Mama Wu, she would have a worse time in the future.
"Mama is right, the slave and maid should indeed thank the mother. Wu Yashi lowered his eyebrows and responded pleasantly, but he felt humiliated in his heart.
In the past, Wu Yashi would definitely not have such thoughts. But as her position became higher and higher, her heart naturally grew bigger and her thoughts grew. If it weren't for the future, why would she let herself suffer this sin.
"Yes, the noble man wants to thank Niangniang, but unfortunately the nobleman is always just a verbal flower, and when he turned around, he relied on his understanding of Niangniang's temper, and picked Niangniang to compete with other concubines. When Mama Wu said this, she felt that Concubine Tong's breathing was getting heavier and heavier, and she was obviously really angry, but she didn't mean to stop, and continued: "Maybe Niangniang is indeed very unhappy about other people's favors in her heart, but it is not so much that she has no room for others. But now, because of the merits of the nobles, Niangniang has offended almost the entire concubines in the palace, on the contrary, it is the nobles, who have a very good reputation and are quite popular. ”
The more Mama Wu said, the more stiff the expression on Wu Ya's face became, and the whiter her face became, she thought she was secretive enough, but she didn't want what she did to be seen by Mama Wu all the time, and Concubine Tong seemed to believe her words.
When Mama Wu said this, Concubine Tong's eyes were like eagles: "Wu Yashi, this palace has underestimated you, okay, you are very good!"
"Niangniang, the slave maid didn't, Mama Wu may have some misunderstanding about the slave maid. Wu Yashi bowed to Concubine Tong on his knees, his face full of fear.
"Misunderstanding? The old slave has no misunderstanding about the nobleman. Since the nobles were picked out to serve the emperor, the nobles can be said to have taken advantage of the good wind of the mother to get to this day. Originally, the old slave thought that all your grievances came from the fourth elder brother who was raised by his mother, but now looking at it, it seems that it is not just that, the noble person should be bent on going up!"
Concubine Tong Guifei was so angry that her body tensed, her face was distorted for a while, and her eyes were full of ruthlessness when she looked at Wu Ya's ...... palace."
"As for the fourth elder brother, that is the son of the emperor who promised the palace, even if you give birth to him, he can only be called the mother of the palace. Concubine Tong was so angry that she trembled, but Wu Yashi didn't dare to meet Concubine Tong's eyes, wondering in her heart how to escape.
Although she is a noble person now, her mother's family can also help her in the Internal Affairs Office, but if she really wants to get rid of Concubine Tong and set up her own door, it is obviously not ready yet.
"Niangniang, please believe the slave maid, although the slave maid is a little cautious, it is absolutely impossible to betray the concubine Niangniang. Wu Yashi explained incoherently, and even in order to express her sincerity, she knelt directly to ask for guilt after not kneeling for a long time.
"Hmph, betrayal? what do you think you are, and you deserve the word betrayal. You are just a dog in this palace, and when you have a big heart, you dare to open your mouth to bite the master. Concubine Tong laughed angrily, her eyes swept over Wu Ya's slightly distorted face, and said coldly: "You use this palace as a gunman, then this palace will turn its fire on you, let you taste what it means to eat the evil fruit, get out!"
After she finished speaking, she took Mama Wu's hand and walked towards the inner hall.
Wu Yashi, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at the back of Concubine Tong leaving, and knew that something was wrong, but at present, the emperor was the only one who could help her get out of the predicament, but now the emperor turned over the Suo Yuluo brand. It seems that if she wants to get out of trouble, she must first think of luring the emperor over.
In Yanxi Palace, when Concubine Rong and the others got the news, they were sitting together drinking tea and continuing to talk, compared to Concubine Li's jealousy, envy, and sour words, Concubine Rong seemed to have been mentally prepared for a long time.
"Since the emperor has summoned you to sleep tonight, then you should go back early and prepare!" Concubine Rong looked at Concubine Li Shu, who was becoming more and more unspeakable, and directly interrupted her words, signaling Yunxi to go back and prepare.
Yunxi stood up, saluted Concubine Rong, turned around and took Mama Xu back to the East Side Palace.
Yunxi herself was not surprised at all when the emperor suddenly ordered her to sleep, although the newcomer entered the palace, as long as the emperor gave face, he would definitely turn over the newcomer's brand. However, there are no absolutes, the emperor himself is a willful existence, plus an equally willful empress dowager, can't these newcomers just go with the flow?
Concubine Li looked at Yunxi, who didn't even give her a look, looked at Concubine Rong with an unhappy face, and complained in a low voice: "Niangniang, look at her, she doesn't take people in her eyes at all, it is indeed different to be favored." ”
Concubine Rong looked jealous and envious, and there was still some unknown Concubine Li Shu, and she sneered in her heart. A concubine who enjoys the promise of the example needs someone to put you in her eyes, "Okay, the palace is lacking, it's okay to retreat!"
Concubine Li Shu was given a cold reception one after another, and she felt that she couldn't hold her face, so she didn't care about saluting, so she turned around and left directly.
Concubine Rong looked at her style, and felt a burst of disgust in her heart, and the moment she got up and returned to the inner hall, she wondered in her heart that maybe she was really too indulgent to make her forget her duty, "Mama Qiao, let people send the palace rules to Concubine Li Shu, just say that it means the palace, let her familiarize herself with the rules." ”
"Huh. Mama Qiao replied in a low voice.
On the side of the East Side Palace, after Yunxi came back, Mama Xu directly asked people to send hot water, no matter whether her nobles want to bathe in the Qianqing Palace or not, before leaving the East Side Palace, she has to ensure that her nobles can't find the slightest fault.
"Your honor, the hot water is ready. Mama Xu held Yunxi's hand and said softly.
Yunxi smiled and took Mama Xu's hand into the clean room in the inner room.
Leaning on the bathtub, the hot water gradually relaxed Yunxi's somewhat tense thoughts. So much had happened today that her mind was a mess. It seems that there is no one in the entire palace who does not have her own ideas, even Yunxi herself cannot deny that she wants to climb up, but she has encountered all kinds of difficulties and calculations when she takes a step, and I have to say that she really feels a little tired.
She was still a little unsure of Kangxi's attitude, especially after guessing the Empress Dowager's intentions, she knew that she had fallen into a dilemma.
If she follows the wishes of the Empress Dowager and distracts Kangxi's favor for Wei Changzai and Wuya nobles, then she will become a thorn in the side of the Empress Dowager, if she does not follow the Empress Dowager's wishes, then the Empress Dowager will definitely feel that she is useless. For a useless person, the superior doesn't need to do anything, just putting on an attitude can make her unable to eat and walk around.
In this way, she not only has to make a choice, but also has to put a degree, a degree that does not offend the Empress Dowager and does not arouse Kangxi's disgust.
It's just that she thinks well, but it's hard to really do it.
In the evening, when the sedan chair in the worship room came, Yunxi still took Mama Xu and Qiaoying to the Qianqing Palace.
Because of the experience of the last time, this time Yunxi was not surprised because he was led to the main hall of the apse. Of course, she also knew in her heart that Kangxi might be special to her, but this special was based on Kangxi's interest in her and his affection for saving his life.
With the experience of the previous life, Yunxi will not put himself in a high place because of Kangxi's other eyes, and feels that he is extremely special and incomparable. On the contrary, because of all the things in the previous life, it is difficult for Yunxi in this life to easily believe in a person, let alone in a place like the palace.
After entering the hall, he didn't see Kangxi's people, and Yunxi was not in a hurry, he turned around, and sat lazily on the kang, waiting for Li Dequan to send tea and snacks, and Yunxi just nodded.
When Li Dequan and the others all withdrew, Yunxi held the teacup, looked at the golden tea, smelled the shallow fragrance of tea, and took a small sip, refreshing with a hint of bitterness and a hint of sweetness. It is worthy of the emperor to drink tea, unlike her noble example, which looks good, but she doesn't have to choose, and the quantity is limited, and she has to exchange the silver after drinking.
Speaking of silver, Yunxi had to say that her concerns were correct, silver was needed everywhere in this palace, if she really lived on that little rule, she thought that her life would definitely be a mess.
In the front hall of the Qianqing Palace, just when Kangxi was about to return to the apse, an urgent report was sent from outside, which was related to the outcome of the war, and Kangxi naturally did not dare to slack off.
The rebellion of the three feudatories has been fought for several years since the twelfth year of Kangxi, and the situation has changed from passive at the beginning to active now.
Sure enough, sending an urgent report is not good news, but it is not bad news, Kangxi quickly gave an approval after reading it, after all, the war is imminent, and he cannot hesitate.
After this series of things was dealt with, Kangxi took Liang Jiugong back to the apse. Thinking of Yunxi, the corners of Kangxi's mouth unconsciously raised a smile, and he didn't know what this little girl would do if she was left alone in the palace?
Thinking that she likes to practice dance, Kangxi suddenly looked forward to seeing a different picture when she went in.
