Chapter Eighty-Three: Between Brothers

Although Prince Gong Changning and Prince Yu Fuquan rarely walk around the harem on weekdays, they will enter the palace every few days to make a special trip to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to say goodbye. Today, Chang Ning entered the palace to say goodbye to the Empress Dowager, and on the way back, she wanted to take a shortcut, but she happened to meet the clouds and tides that came over.

The identity of the foreign minister and the concubine is already embarrassing, and Chang Ning's first reaction when he encounters this kind of thing is to avoid it. But when he accidentally glanced at it and found that the person standing in the pavilion was Yunxi, Chang Ning, who was standing in the corner, couldn't help but look at this scene in a daze, and was reluctant to move away for a long time.

Fortunately, he only brought a close attendant by his side, and he was his confidant, otherwise he wouldn't know what gossip to spread with his current performance!

Of course, Chang Ning did have some emotions in his heart when he couldn't let go of Yunxi, the woman who made him heartbeat for the first time, met by chance, stared at Yunxi who was standing against the railing not far away and smiling against the light, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, but after a while, he forcibly turned his head away, and then turned around and walked in the direction of Qianqing Palace.

Since it was no longer possible, it was naturally impossible for him to do something that hurt the other party just by the slightest reluctance in his heart.

Chang Ning remembered the words that Kangxi asked him in Tanzhe Temple, and felt a burst of regret in his heart, but there was no way back. Thinking about it, Kangxi had forgotten about it, but Chang Ning remembered it clearly. Every time he thought that he had sent his beloved into the palace without knowing it, Chang Ning felt a pain in his heart.

But since it was he who decided her fate by accident, then he couldn't sit back and watch her being bullied by others. Naturally, it is impossible for him to influence the emperor's decision, but he can maneuver through it to make her life easier in the future.

Yunxi didn't find out about Prince Gong's existence, in fact, even if she did, she wouldn't have much reaction, at most, when Prince Gong forked the road, it would be over with a greeting.

Some people have some things, it is a coincidence to miss one life, and if they miss two lives, it can only be said that there is no fate.

"It's a nice place, it's really good to hide. Yunxi looked at Mama Xu on the side and smiled.

Concubine Li Shu has been in the palace for many years, and she has not been favored by Concubine Tong, and her life is indeed not very good, but Concubine Rong has a gentle temper and never treats Concubine Li and others harshly. If Concubine Li Shu knows how to cherish it, even if she is not rich and wealthy in the future, at least no one will make it difficult, but if she keeps complaining like this, and looks like she is being treated harshly, then one day she will be kicked out of Yanxi Palace by Concubine Rong.

"It's good if you like it. After listening to Yunxi's words, Mama Xu, who proposed to come over, smiled, obviously she was happy to be able to do her best for her master.

It's just that they came out suddenly, and they didn't prepare anything, so that the table was empty. But none of them cared about this, after all, Yunxi didn't come out to distract, but to avoid those who didn't want to see, if Concubine Li was smart, she should know how to stop in moderation.

Of course, if she is not smart, or pretends not to be smart, Yunxi will not be able to indulge her all the time.

It is said that a newcomer should look like a newcomer when he enters the palace, but Yunxi doesn't want to wronged herself because of her identity as a newcomer, she is not ambitious and her ability is not strong, but this does not mean that she is easy to bully.

Thinking about it carefully, she has really made a lot of preparations in this life, but such preparations do not seem to be enough to deal with the rights and wrongs in this palace. But she is not worried, first, she has Mama Xu, an old man who is familiar with the harem, and second, so far, she is not the most noticeable existence.

Through Mama Xu's analysis, she knew that the Empress Dowager was dissatisfied with the most favored Wei Changzai and Wuya nobles today, and picked her or other beautiful show girls in order to distract the emperor's favor for them. It's just that whether the emperor likes it or not, it depends on the will of heaven, no, it depends on the emperor's sacred heart.

On the side of Qianqing Palace, Kangxi heard Liang Jiugong's report, his face was calm, but a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes. After nodding in agreement, he put aside the folded fold in his hand, and the moment he looked up, he saw Chang Ning walking in, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

For a few brothers, Kangxi thinks he still understands, the second brother Fuquan is steady and self-controlled, and he acts in a measured manner, the fifth brother Chang Ning, who has a jumpy temperament, but he is also humble and submissive to him, and the other younger brothers don't talk about it for the time being, but one thing he knows in his heart is that these people have always been on the Three Castles Hall for nothing.

They came to the palace to ask for peace, and they always went out of the palace directly after going to Cining Palace, and they would come to him, which is nothing more than two possibilities, asking him for something, or the Empress Dowager has instructions.

Thinking of the recent incident where he summoned the Wei clan several times in a row, a trace of boredom flashed in Kangxi's eyes. Compared with the dependence and powerlessness when he was young, he has grown up now that he obviously no longer needs others to make decisions for him, especially this kind of harem trivial.

Compared with Huang Ama, who doesn't want the country for women, he obviously values the country more. Moreover, Wei and others have a low status, and they have never been taken to heart by her, what kind of storm can such a person make. But the Empress Dowager didn't understand, and everything had to be based on her ideas, which made Kangxi quite a headache, but he was helpless.

Chang Ning didn't know what Kangxi was thinking in his heart, after saluting and greeting, he didn't see Kangxi shouting, he couldn't help but look up, and saw Kangxi staring at the fold in his hand with a condensed expression, his brows were slightly furrowed, he had the heart to speak, but he was worried about saying the wrong thing, and he didn't know whether to get up or not to be able to stand for a while, so he could only kneel in place in embarrassment.

When Kangxi came back to his senses, he found that Chang Ning had been kneeling for nearly a pillar of incense below, and the moment he opened his mouth, Kangxi couldn't help but tease: "You kid is very slippery on weekdays, why are you so honest today." ”

"The slave has always been very honest, but the emperor has never believed it. Chang Ning saw Kangxi's words teasing, just like usual, and couldn't help but be poor again.

In fact, whether it is Fuquan or Chang Ning, when facing Kangxi's younger brother (elder brother), no matter how close he is, he will guard a line, and he will not easily cross the rules. Otherwise, how can Kangxi tolerate them, and how can they ensure their status.

To put it bluntly, they calculated Kangxi, Kangxi didn't suspect them, everyone took a step back from each other, and they all stood within the safety line, this is the way to get along for a long time.

Kangxi looked at him like this, he only felt close, and he spoke a little casually, "Say it, but what does the Empress Dowager command?"

As soon as Chang Ning heard Kangxi's words, he immediately shouted, 'The emperor is wise', and then trotted to Kangxi's side, and said with a smile: "Second brother, Huang Ma said that it is nothing more than those words, you don't need my brother to speak, you should also understand." ”

Although the Empress Dowager is an elder, but now Kangxi is the head of the family, Chang Ning can't shout at Kangxi in a daze because of a few orders from the Empress Dowager, this is not right, that is not good. This is not filial piety, this is looking for death.

Kangxi hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Okay, I don't know you yet, let's say, what does Huangma want you to convey?"

Chang Ning saw that Kangxi didn't shy away from it, so he didn't hide it, and said happily: "Huang Mama asked the slave to persuade the second brother, so that the second brother would be wet with rain and dew." Chang Ning said this is really embarrassing, this kind of thing seems natural no matter who is in the harem, and when it comes to the mouth of a big man like him, how awkward it sounds.

Liang Jiugong, who was on the side, heard this, his eyes closed, and he didn't exist.

Kangxi's eyes narrowed slightly, he knew that this was the case, but looking at Chang Ning's embarrassed expression, he didn't do much to investigate, after all, this kind of thing is not something he can control.

Chang Ning noticed a trace of impatience in Kangxi's expression, so he changed the topic and talked about his encounter with Yunxi halfway. Of course, it is impossible for him to say Yunxi's identity directly, only that Kangxi is blessed.

Kangxi didn't care about something like this kind of joke, but he thought of Yunxi inexplicably. These days, the reason why he didn't summon Yunxi to sleep was not because he no longer paid attention to her, but because he didn't want her to become the target of public criticism.

The show girl who entered the palace this time, in addition to the Hesheri clan, Yunxi and Yuan Guiren have the highest status, if it was in the past, he would definitely put state affairs first, and first summoned Yuan Guiren to sleep, in order to show favor and favor the Yuan family. But now that he cares about Yunxi in his heart, he naturally doesn't want her to lag behind, and Yiyunxi's family background is not indispensable before the Yuan family.

The most important thing is that the Empress Dowager must also hope that he can pay attention to Yunxi and them, after all, because of the relationship between the Wei family and the Wu Ya family, they have not made a lot of moves. It's just that every time he makes a move, he is very secretive, and Kangxi is not good at competing with the Queen Mother because of women's affairs, so whether he wants to or not, he gives the Queen Mother a few thin faces.

Speaking of which, there are really a lot of concubines from this harem palace maid, but there are not too many who can climb up, and now the first ones are Wu Ya's and Wei's, as for the Empress Dowager's arrangement, but there is no one, no wonder the Empress Dowager is unhappy and keeps chattering.

"Okay, I know all this, I will watch it over the Queen Mother's side, and as for you, you will also be determined to help me do things in the future. Kangxi came back to his senses and knocked Chang Ning with a sentence, and this matter is over.

"The minions obeyed. Chang Ning responded with a smile, and when he left the Qianqing Palace, the smile on his face couldn't be hung up.

In the past, he always wanted to gain the emperor's trust like his second brother Fuquan, but now that he is about to get it, he can't be happy at all. I can't tell what kind of feeling it is, Chang Ning only knows that he can't feel uncomfortable in his heart.

After returning home from the palace, he locked himself in his study for a day and a night. No one knows what he's doing in there, but when he comes out again, it's as if he has forgotten everything, and he looks as cynical as before, but when he gets things done, he is serious, and people can't find the slightest fault.

On Kangxi's side, there seemed to be no movement, but in the evening, he didn't turn over the lowly concubines such as Wei's or Wuya's, but directly turned over Yunxi, a newcomer who had just put on the brand.
